I saw you wrote it, thanksss, I'll tell you what I think about it soon.

Ideas for the future that can come when and if we ever have room (If is the big thing here, if we can't fit it in I don't care, I just have my over-active mind giving me scenes and even subplots that could work well for the story)

- A parents day event where all the adults show up and yadda yadda. A good time for people to really show some of their internal issues (or lack thereof) when talking to their parents. For example, Chance and his dad will obviously play a roll...Royle and one of her parents can get into some sort of conflict where she tries to not be resentful but is and ends up showing it through pure, spiteful, snark, like she reveals she feels even less wanted now than before since they sent her away instead of actually trying to help her themselves but yet they kept her brother. And then there are people like Jake and Dalton who were genuinely happy as children and don't have any scars to deal with. IDK, I just think this can lead to a lot of dramatic potential.

- More room for Jake and Michelle to become closer with a lot of people getting to see the nicer, calmer, deeper side to Chance which Jake resents because it makes him feel like people are siding with the bully and he gets closer to Michelle, who also doesn't want to get close to Chance after hearing Jake's side of the story. So they get close while Chance becomes friends with everyone else and eventually Jake blows up at him...

- Michelle and Kelly becoming some night and day duo, you know, Sunlight and Darkness...IDK, there's something that can be done with this.

- Someone getting their ring stolen and they need to retrieve it. (IDK, could be Jake like if he's being pushed around by the sports guys (sans Chance this time because if he were there he wouldn't let the theft happen) and the ring falls out of his backpack or something and one of the jocks takes it when he's not looking. (maybe he can blame Chance for that? IDK). Or maybe Dave can come back and bug Kelly and she leaves quickly and leaves her ring behind and she takes it, or Royle just falls asleep and her ring gets picked up.

- Dalton making an odd friendship with...someone. IDK, his happiness and energy would clash with Royle, Kelly, Clementine and Cassandra the most, but he can end up becoming really close with one of them and they form an odd duo.

- Kelly can maybe use her darkness powers to get back at Dave (like symbolically giving into the dark feelings inside of her) and Michelle (symbolic of the light and warmth) can convince her to let him go.

IDK just a bunch of things

And also IK I keep sort of talking about Chance's "justifications" for his actions and I'll try and stop but I'm just so attached to him, so uh, we need to find a balance of him just being a jerkish jock at times for popularity and to cover up his deep insecurities (like if he ever jokes around to the other team-members about Jake if they egg him on, or if he has a moment of weakness and covers it up by acting like an ass) and him doing it due to his history and his twisted view of the world (like the ideas that the strong are allowed and justified in attacking the weak as long as they are "trying to help" (his father's reasoning behind his beatings; Chance's own rationalization of beating up Jake), Masculinity and athleticism being ideal for guys or they aren't "real" guys (again, probably due to his "teachings" from his father), and that the strong and the aggressive deserve to be the authority no matter what. IDK, he's my baby of these characters, I just don't want him to come off as an entirely heartless jerk with a bad past he just uses as an excuse.
