(Sorry, I kinda made up my own writing prompt. I'll fit yours in.)
Like father, like son. Daniel and Kathryn met in their high school geometry class last year; he was a sophomore and she was a freshman. The two did not exactly hit off - Kathryn still refers to his attitude when they met as "arrogant, lazy, and downright rude." She was further put off when he fell asleep in class nearly every day for the first two weeks, yet got the highest score in the class on the first test. (She had the second.) The teacher then moved him to sit beside Kathryn in hopes it would have a positive effect on him. That seemed to fail - in fact, it did the opposite. It's difficult to concentrate with an "arrogant, lazy, and downright rude" guy sitting behind you and poking you in the back with a pencil. Eventually, they began to get along slightly better, but the class ended before they were anywhere near friends.
History just had to repeat itself, however. The next year, they were put in Algebra II together. Daniel had matured slightly through a bad break-up, and Kathryn had finally cooled off. They began the class competing constantly, one always trying to outdo the other score-wise. Daniel even began to do his homework, a sure sign he was worried. :) After about two months, it grew to be too much for those of us around them (family, friends, and teachers) to take, so Kathryn's friend Lily set them up. To the surprise of the two of them (and nobody else) they hit off right away.
Daniel, a junior, is the child in our family who is the least sure of his future plans. He is considering going into architecture, with his shocking talent for geometry and design, but isn't really sure. He does know he wants to go to college - why bother with all that math homework and not get anything out of it? We had some trouble with him near the end of his sophomore year; he came dangerously close to being expelled when he hit his English teacher. (This did nothing for Kathryn's opinion of him.)
Eoin is a freshman in high school this year and is planning to go into law school. Up until this year, he always had the best grades in the family, and is still maintaining his excellent marks. (Daniel's sudden motivation up-seated him.) He has a tentative girlfriend, Amanda, but isn't really that close to her.
Cata is in eighth grade and is excited about beginning high school next year. She aspires to become a teacher of English as a second language.
Draven is in sixth grade and aspires (today) to become a cartoonist. We aren't sure how that one's going to go.
Tristan is also in sixth grade, planning (today) to join the army. He's very insistant upon that intention, but he wanted to be a judge just last week. And the week before that? A tattoo artist.
Ariadne is in third grade and has recently announced her intention to be a social worker when she grows up. We were like, huh? She seems far more mature than Draven and Tristan. No surprise, though - she is a girl, after all.
Aurora, beginning kindergarten, counterbalances Ari's maturity. She has now decided to be a cat and have twelve children all at once.
All of our children are now eating eggs.
