My dear snowflakes, I do believe this will be our last time together. So sit back and prepare for a long one.

I guess my number one question has probably been "why?" Why go through all of this trouble? Why try to ruin innocent kids' lives? Why pull people apart?

To put it simply; none of you are innocent. You all have a special seat in Hell right beside me, but you're too far up your own asses to realize how awful you are. Snotty rich kids at Sapphire Hills have never had to work for anything in their life. They've never dealt with real pain or heartbreak. I know from experience. Until I was disgraced from my family, I was one of you. I had to deal with so much pain at such a young age, how was it fair that you all shouldn't too? It's your fault, of course. For the pain I've endured.

Because of the expectation of the perfect rich kid that girls like Queeney Lexington and Alya Calloway threw into the world, my world crashed down because I could never reach that. I could never play winter sports like my dear brothers and would never inherit some big company like Keenan Kingsley (which I guess just turned into an illegal mafia in the end). I was worthless to my parents and I was worthless to myself.

And I figured that everyone deserved to feel that pain too. To pay for what they put me through. To get knocked off their high horses a few times. No one deserved Summer Calloway's perfect life or Aspyn and Logan Arlington's riches and privilege. They just got it handed to them, illegally and dirtily. And if anything is wrong with the world, I think it's that.

The next thing you all probably want to know; how. How did I get all of this dirt and drama on you perfect little teenagers? How was I always one step ahead?

Well, that one was a process.

When my brothers went off for their new school year at Sapphire Hills Academy, I got my yearly lecture from dear mommy and daddy. Be more like your brothers. Do something good with your life. It didn't matter how successful I was with my separate life. It wasn't their path and so it would never be good enough.

That's when I made the website and posted the first blog. It was an impulsive decision, but I can't say that I regret it. My goal turned out successful enough, after all.

That's when I realized I would need an eye on the inside. How would I get the latest drama if I wasn't there at the academy? That's where my dear baby brother Michel came in. Get close to the main bitches of the academy; Queeney, Aspyn, Logan, Vera, Summer, Miles—that whole awful "squad"; and cause some drama. Stir up some tea. Then report back to me. I have to admit, he did much better than I ever would've imagined. Causing the Aspyn and Queeney fallout on his first day on the job? I was impressed. Of course, Queeney and Aspyn were already imploding, but Michel gave them that certain push that sent everything else for the rest of the year in motion.

I was a proud older sister, to say the least. And that's when Michel went to mommy and daddy and cried about how he couldn't deal with the pressure of the academy anymore. It was too much for him, I suppose, my pushing for him to tear apart the lives of his classmates. What sent me over the edge, farther than I'd been before, beyond comeback, was how openly my parents accepted the fact that "maybe it just wasn't for him." I was a disgrace when I chose to drop Sapphire Hills. But baby Michel got off with a free pass and went home to live it up without any pressure. There was no going back for me then, and that's when I found my new little eye.

Angry, raged, vulnerable Crystal Lexington. She really did remind me a lot of me and I told her that. Of course, she didn't know my "title" at the time of that, but she learned. And she agreed to help me. Enraged by being in Queeney's and Corrine's shadows, by always being third best Lexington and hundredth best everything else, I fed her rage and she helped me dearly. Even more than Michel had been.

My first mistake was failure to realize just how close she had gotten to Jason Pemberton. It started to crush her, lying to the boy she desperately loved, hurting her sisters, her family, her friends. That's when I became... cruel, per say, about the situation.

Ding ding ding! Queeney had guessed it again! Maybe Crystal helped me a little on her own mind for a bit, but before long, blackmail needed to endure. Threatening to ruin little Jason, destroy Queeney and Corrine, my sweet little bird couldn't give it up then. That was my mistake with Michel. I let him get away. I couldn't afford to let that happen again.

Tying everything together, in usual mystery fashion, I did indeed get involved with the Kingsley Mafia. I didn't join; I wouldn't stoop that low. But I did enlist their help. I was a disgrace. Where else was I supposed to get money? I didn't have mommy and daddy handing it to me like you all do. So I got involved and got myself into debt. Deeply. That's when Crystal took up her hobby of hacking into accounts.

Queeney's instagram was just a test run. See how much extra chaos we could cause. I, of course, helped Crystal with the writing; she's a brat, but she's too soft to say all of that. Eventually, she started to hack into bigger things for me. Bank accounts, business emails, of both Queeney and her parents alike. I paid my debt off, just like that. But then she got caught. A dumb mistake that I never expected to happen.

And then everything went downhill for me. Crystal was arrested but I'm a lawyer; I got her out. I'm smart. I could still fix it. But everything continued to crash and burn. The Presley and Kara disappearance. Aspyn trying to kill herself, for God's sake. The growing mafia surrounding the academy. There was too much chaos, and you all know the end of the story; Summer and Miles had been secretly meddling and trying to find me alone for months and succeeded—what's laughable is this Shaylee and my dear, Mason, had clearly figured me out without all that hacking business and had some sort of lead with me but were too naïve and tRuStIng to actually act on it. Anyway, continuing, Presley and Kara were found, malnourished but relatively fine, the Kingsleys were all arrested excluding sweet, innocent Keenan, who talked his awful criminal sister off a ledge. Crystal eventually released from custody after she gave the cops information about our little deal. Friendships and relationships all awkwardly patched up. You get the gist.

I guess I owe you all one more thing.

If you thought it was going to be an apology, you clearly still have learned absolutely nothing. Reality versus fiction. What was real drama and what did I make up, just to set some other things into motion?

-Queeney drunk dancing with Jasper while half-dating Logan? True.

-Aspyn drunkenly destroying her friendship with Queeney? True.

-Queeney causing Jasper and Vera's breakup? True.

-Queeney going actually psycho on Aspyn in the rink one day? True.

-Jasper and Queeney sleeping together? Only half true.

-Summer and Miles sleeping together? False.

-Summer being threatened by Kyle? True.

-Corrine and her friend Nate "getting it on"? False.

-Queeney getting laid and drunk and then trashing all of her friends? False.

-Romeo and Summer having a secret little relationship for about a month or so? True.

-Keenan's homosexuality? True.

-Cedar and Aspyn's little fun? True.

-Aspyn's former crush on Queeney? True.

-Jay and Zoie having an incestual relationship? False.

-Presley partnering with Queeney? True.

-In order to hurt Aspyn? False.

-Jasper's depressing thoughts and self harm? True.

-Jay and Jocelyn dating? True.

-Logan hiding his concussion to train for the Olympics? True.

-Keenan eye-ing up Tony Smythe and harassing him? False.

-Aspyn trying to kill herself? True.

-Queeney dropping her solo skating out of fear? False.

-One of you leaking the Olympic list? False.

-Shaylee "betraying" Mason by lying to him about her virginity? False. Ish.

-Shaylee and Mason cuddling like they're about to get back together? True. I mean, have you seen that sexual tension?

-Crystal hacking into several of her family's accounts and stealing? True.

-The Kingsleys running a mafia? True.

-Cedar helping her mom kidnap Presley and Kara? True.

That marks all of the things I dished on in my reign of terror. And as you can see, the truths strongly outweigh the falses. And that would be because I was simply here to expose all of your true, horrid colors, with some extra spice thrown in to bring them out.

I don't regret it at all. You all have finally got a taste of what the real world is like and what I've endured for all of my life.

So yes, I guess I'm guilty. But Crystal Lexington is guilty for hacking and stealing. Cedar and the Kingsleys guilty for illegal mafia business and kidnapping. Most of you guilty of being awful family and friends.

And even if you're not guilty of anything, I truly believe that once you're a part of Sapphire Hills Academy in some way, you're definitely not innocent.

No one at the Hills is innocent.

needless to say you all lost. but that's okay. but emma got the closest. aNYWAY..

And this, my lovely friends, marks the end of an aDveNTurE. Let me just point out that this is my first successful role-play and my first official finished role-play. I'd like to thank you all for going through this yEar+ long journey with me and for keeping this alive enough that it could finish. Major gratitude and love.

A note: There is going to be a main chain but it doesn't actually have to be a big deal. Just an awkward reunion chain of fluff and (not) angst. It's a week since everything went down, by the way.

Second, there will be a second generation role-play. Periodt. No questions asked. So basically, there's gonna be roles but y'all obviously get to make your character's kids so that's something we're going to develop together :) So just make chains for each of your characters and we'll discuss some things. You can also make roles for characters that aren't actually kids of your characters, if you know what I mean. Just random people accepted into the academy. AND you can leave spots open from your characters' kiddos for other people to take. Just some options to ponder over.

Third, this is gonna be open. Forever. Indefinitely. For you to just... role-play freely. Role-play things that happen in the 25 years between now and second generation. Role-play ships. Literally anything. I don't care. Just vibe.

Fourth, just for nice organizational purposes, please format your comments in this specific way because it's helpful:
