"AND HOW SHOULD WE SETTLE THIS?"

KENNEDY BISHOP WAS AN ENTITY OF BOTH CHAOS AND METHOD. Chaos in itself had a method. Chaos was not the absence of rules or order — it was the destruction of those rules and the creation of new spontaneous ones in the moment.

There was something so beautiful about pandemonium — panicky eyes, rushed over-explaining, slip-up upon slip-up.

It was more valuable to her than any of the obscene displays of wealth present in her home. Inexperienced people were always most confused and out-of-element in chaos.

She had an acute understanding of herself, her role and the havoc she could wreak and thus was never caught off-guard.

She'd done it all really — as a bored child in a large home, she needed some kind of entertainment and found it wreaking havoc. It brought a special joy and sense of importance into her life that she received from nothing else.

Spooking the butler as he turns at the corner of a hallway, giving new employees wrong directions, showing guests things they were not supposed to be shown, hiding away in some unexplored nook in their home while the entire house searched for her for hours, pretending to burn or actually burning old important documents; it was her passion.

When she was wreaking havoc, she was in her most authentic state — cheeky, mischievous and endlessly entertained.

What was the point of life, if not to have fun? She had an intense love for games essentially since birth but none had enchanted her young, bright mind quite like hopscotch.

She plays it everyday — no longer a game dictating your social standing on the playground but instead representing her constantly shifting morals and alignments — whether she feels like being a thorn in a supposedly well-groomed bouquet or being a sunflower gleaming in amber light rays.

It's a constant game, an everlasting push and pull of gravitational forces from each hue and shade on the scale of morality. She hops, alternating between a wobbly foot and a sturdy two-footed stance.

It's a constant gamble; whether or not she will stay upright. But, so far, she has. Never has she fallen for the temptation of a single shade, allowed it to envelope her whole. Never has she lost herself in the dark, glittering abyss outside her personal game of hopscotch.

That was until she was introduced to a new chalk drawing to jump around in - a castle with turrets and moving staircases, houses with bitter rivalry, intense pride, reluctant acquaintanceship and sticky, odd friendships.

The hallways littered with lies and yellowed tomes carefully arranged in a Herculean library with pages that have bared witness to events that even the oldest and wisest of crinkled wizards could only dream of.

It was a new playing field requiring new strategies that most thought Kennedy's mind could not hope to crack - especially seeing as she was transferring in her fourth year under unique circumstances instead of being there from the beginning like most others.

However, armed with extensive knowledge of herself and the politics of the world around her, she will remain unbothered.

Her journey began with hopscotch and it will end with hopscotch.
