You Can't Joke About That Novels & Stories

I say this as I sip on my juice. “Yeah? So we, I guess, then buy our coffins and dig our graves before we leave this house, right?” Huh! Can you listen to this girl? I am here saying, and I have it embedded in every being and sense of me, that I am not letting these people hurt me, even just a little. My only friends are already envisioning corpses? “Will you just stop? Your joke isn't funny at all." I state.

He stopped and gave me the evil eye, "You need to stop joking around. What you are going through is serious and it hurts you to laugh." I said, "I know, but if I don't laugh, I'm going to cry. I hate crying."

“Don’t take it seriously. I was just joking.” That’s when his eyes narrowed, thin dangerous slits that warned me. "A joke?” he echoed, voice laced with irritation. “Did you laugh? Because I don’t recall hearing you laugh. And do you see how serious I look right now?” “I’m holding back my laughter,” I replied. “Because if I start laughing, it might push you over the edge.” He exhaled sharply through his nose. “But I do hope I get to meet Villion soon,” I added. “So I don’t end up having a heart attack if we run into each other unexpectedly.”

When I turned to Caius, he was just silent, looking intently to me. "Okay," I mumbled. "I know everyone has a fear about something or anything from the past or even until now," I said and roamed my eyes to everyone in front of me. "And it isn't a joke. Fear that developed within a person isn't a simple joke that you can make fun with. Stop laughing with the things that you think isn't a big deal because it is a big deal to the person who suffers!" I didn't hear any word, or noise from them anymore, just my voice that echoed throughout the hall.

Can't she take a joke? "Max, we talked about this,"And now mom was lecturing me." You can't keep treating your best friend's mom and teacher like she's your age mate." "I wasn't disrespecting her , mom,"I argued back. "That's now what she said," "It was a joke,"I said."I was breaking the Ice.Have you ever been to a Calculus class? That class is painfully boring .Mom. Someone had to liven the mood and I generously sacrificed myself to save the rest of the tormented students from being subjected into the agonizing pain that is Calculus class."

he said, "I would be in hot water. But there are a few chaps I'll share a good laugh with when I need it." "Oh really?" I asked, "They must be near your age. Sorry if that was rude! I just can't imagine a bunch of gray heads laughing at a joke." Now he did laugh. "You're quite right," he said, "I suppose they must be near enough in age, a little older here, little younger there," he shrugged casually, "Pfft, it's a party. Age doesn't matter." Better back off, Jenna. He already got weird once. Don't push it.

I'm sure if someone found out or overheard our conversation, we would both be upset. And another one with Caleigha and Isaiah. "What? Are you going to be quiet?" I blinked. "That's not a good b-joke," was all I could say. He laughed sarcastically. Can't believe what I said. "Do you think I can joke like that? The fact that I liked you since the first time I saw you is just a joke to you?" I didn't answer and just looked at the floor. "It's a big joke. You almost couldn't make your debut when you thought about it. You're always scolded in training. You've been warned a few times. Then it's just a joke to you?"

"That came out wrong. I was joking, badly." He was quiet for a moment, looking at me with the particular attention of someone deciding how seriously to take something. Then he leaned in slightly, elbows on his knees. "Jokes can get expensive around here, Gwen," he said, his voice dropping to something conversational but direct. "And when they get expensive, everything gets messy fast." "I know," I said. "I genuinely didn't mean anything by it." He straightened up and the tension in his shoulders released. "I'm not angry." A shrug. "Just — you know what I'm going to say."

I accepted the trolley from her and shut the door immediately behind her, turning over to Darwin quickly. “You are not allowed to say things like that, ever. That scary man,” I continued seeing Darwin's confused look, "that man is a really powerful man and doesn't like when people make such jokes, especially about his allergies or whatever resemblance anyone may think they share with him. He is very strict, and he had ears all over the place that anybody who makes such jokes about him will not go scot-free. But, it's fine, we are new here so, he wouldn't touch us but, if you go about telling jokes like that, he might not be merciful next time, you get that?”
