"Start of Something New"

---I love High School Musical---


Time for the truth now,
Tell me you hate me,
I don't care anymore.
Distraction's a blessing,
Stop feeling so guilty,
I've been through much worse.

So today children, before you can completely delve into learning the inner workings of Turtle, the typical teenage girl, one must first have some background knowledge. A bit of vocabulary to help them understand the course. Study them closely, because the way they work within the subject is significant. The way they relate and intertwine is deliberate, although the reasons why are still unknown. They will come in handy later, that is certain. This will be a hard topic to master, but with some time, maybe we can figure out what makes Turtle work, what makes her tick, what makes her real. Are you ready?
