"Fine," the retort snaps out like a slap across his cheek, and Esteban shrugs slightly. If she says she's fine, she's fine. He ain't gonna press the issue. He picks up on the anger in her voice with some satisfaction. Anger and fear are a heckuva lot more fun to play with than indifference. And there was something to knowing you could change others--could make them scared, angry, and rattle them up a bit. He enjoys the shocked look on Katie's face when he takes a swig from the bottle and realizes that she had no idea what was inside it, despite how distinctive the smell of tequila is. The same smell he's woken up to one too many times, lying face first on the floor with a hangover the size of Texas This fresa musn'tve had a drink of hard liquor in her whole life, he figures. The thought of Katie Byrd getting sloshed enters his mind, and now that he thinks about it he's kinda curious to see what she's like. There isn't much difference between a drunk Esteban and a sober Esteban except that one is louder and Esteban-like, but more. But for most people, a little liquid courage that washes away fear and inhibition changes their personalities. Since it's Esteban's best guess that Katie lives like a rabbit in a cage--perpetually in a state of some fear, he thinks a drink would do her some good. Unwind a few strings and help her face her fears. Mostly though, he's amused by the idea of seeing her wasted. When she dabs at her eyes and refuses with a "No, thank you, plenty of better places to get hydrocarbons," he scoffs back. What planet is this chick from? And reaching back into his memory for what the f*** a hydrocarbon is, he wonders who the hell would knock a few shots down for some hydrocarbon chains? No, it was a different chemical group all together that interested him--the alcohol group. "Jesus, don't be such a nerd. You drink this s*** to get smashed, not for a bunch of hydrocarbons or whatever the f***." He doesn't retract the bottle, doesn't back away at her refusal. Instead, he gives it another small shake at her, urging her to take it. He continues in a voice that's meant to be more gentle but sounds like a gruff father telling his cabritos to finish eating their dinner. "Here. Don't be scared, chica--it only burns for a couple seconds." |

Alarm clock. Why was the alarm clock ringing? Was today a school day? Had yesterday been? He knew the day before that was break. With a gigantic effort Mitch opened his eyes to look at the calendar that his mother had hung near his bed. It was a Teusday... maybe that meant he should get up. Blearily he knocked the alarm clock off of the table and sat up, scaring the cat as he did so. His mother called up the stairs a moment later that it was time for school and he yelled something back to her that might have been assent. He didn't know if there was time to get dressed nicely, so he just put on his jersey from last year and a pair of jeans. Hardly the most attractive attire, but he knew he could work it, and besides which, football players could wear what they wanted. It was all part of the mystique or something- he'd never seen anyone mock his choice of clothes since he'd beaten up that kid in middle school who thought he was wearing a girl's button down shirt. He managed to catch the bus, as his mom had taken away his keys when his grades started precipitously dropping, but none of the freshies or sophomores on the bus brought it up. They knew better. When he got into school he wistfully walked past the gym where some of the other football players and some people from the other teams were working out. He couldn't risk being late for class, or tutoring, or whatever the hell the guidance counselor had arranged for his morning so that he didn't get in trouble or get any dumber. He wasn't going to cut, not after they had threatened him with suspension if he did it again, and not after he'd gotten a letter from Notre Dame that he'd lose his scholarship if they got another letter from the school. He'd wanted to break down the guidance counselor's door, show the little twerp that it was a bad idea to pull a stunt like that, but after a bit of thought he'd decided it wouldn't do him any good. So he was in class on time like a good little drone, and took his notes and did his problems like a good little almost nerd-let, and like the transcendent meat-head he was, he got all of the problems wrong, did all of the work wrong, and got a pathetic score on the classwork, even though he'd copied from someone who'd gotten a good score. He was too dumb to even copy right. Lunch was a relief and he'd sat with Gavin and Mark, and they'd discussed a football play in excruciating detail that had made the current object of Gavin's affections, Lisa Yung, nearly fall asleep at the table, and had made Maddy Fenway, who'd taken to hanging out with him since she and Matt Sidle had broken up, leave in an exasperated huff. Mitch didn't care that much, the girls were very much transient objects, and there would be two different ones in another week, so it didn't really matter. After Madison left, Mark had jokingly said that the only one who could keep a girl ought to find her, and the three had parted company amicably, Mark to find his girl, Alex, or Dylan, or Adrienne or someone with a guy's name, Gavin to talk to coach Benwick about the play they'd come up with and Mitch to attempt to bull through the biology problems that they'd been assigned for class, and he hadn't had a chance to finish. They were all multiple choice, multiple choice was easy, right? As he read through the first one he wondered how terrible it would be to wind up at the community college, since keeping his scholarship seemed less and less likely as he looked at those damn problems about stupid cell biology. ((Approachable And Alissa, I hope you don't mind that I did pre-story for Mark?)) |

(((ooc: Furry - Technically, Matt was the one to break up with Madison, a couple of days after the party where he and Dylan hooked up. )))Having spent the last couple of years of her life being targeted by the majority of the popular crowd, for everything from wearing the "wrong" clothes to sleeping around, there were many reasons why Leigh despised them. They didn't just act as though they were better than everyone else, they also truly believed they were, and everything and everyone that didn't live up to their standards was usually written off with a simple yet most expressive "Ew". They abused their popularity, by exploiting other people, often using them for a variety of selfish purposes, and laughing at them the rest of the time, all depending on what was on their agenda that particular day. They were piranhas, feeding hungrily off of everyone in their surroundings, and Leigh hated them for the way that they would manipulate and orchestrate situations to their liking, sometimes for no better reason than for a mere laugh. However, while she did despise how they used manipulation for their own amusement, it didn't mean she herself didn't know how to wield that very same ability. She was far from being as simpleminded and coarse as some tended to believe, yet quite a few had been made to discover that she was not. She had a good amount of wit, she had managed to talk and act her way out of her fair share of the trouble she got herself into, and there had been times when she had made a desirable scenario into actual reality. She just usually didn't, unless she really had to, and she most certainly did not do it as a way of kicking people who were already down. In the current situation with Natalie Cardew, however, that would hardly be the case, as Natalie didn't exactly seem like the fragile, victimized kind of person, nor did Leigh feel any particular desire to take a shot at her. She dressed nicely - well, if you liked that prepish style, anyway - and she did have an air about her that made it difficult for Leigh NOT too picture her with the rest of the pretty, popular ones, but at the same time, Leigh couldn't remember ever seeing her hang out and get along with the preps, save for that brief fling she'd had with Matt Sidle. Plus, Natalie had obviously approached J.D., and indirectly Leigh as well, and seemed serious about it to a point that made it hard to believe it was all just an act. She was even sitting down at their table; something no self-respecting prep would ever do, even if they were acting with an ulterior motive. Bottom line; with all this taken into account, Leigh couldn't really figure out where Natalie stood, and so before she made her first slightly more thorough assessment of her, she would put the pretty brunette to the test, using her own ability to bring about the ideal kind of situation, the kind of situation that was bound to give her at least a clue. Which was all exactly what she did, when she brought up J.D.'s satire of Matt Sidle, knowing it would force Natalie to pick a side. If not through words, then at least through reaction. Alot of J.D.'s artwork was simply brilliant in that sense, because while he may not have a quick wit and a sharp tongue, when given time to elaborate on his opinion in a way that he mastered - by drawing - as opposed to struggling with the words of his rather limited vocabulary, the result often ended up far more cutting than any comment ever could. Sure enough, the Sidle satire got Leigh exactly what she wanted; a reaction, and one that was even followed by words to match. When Natalie's eyes locked on the drawing, and her mind had taken that initial moment to connect the dots of whom it portrayed, her face lit up with a smile. A genuine smile, Leigh could tell, because there had been no split second look of shock or horror to be quickly hidden behind a mask of amusement. No shock, no horror, only a bit of surprise, and alot of amusement. "Well, journalism is all about the truth, after all", Natalie started as the smile, filled with both delight and appreciation, lingered on her rosy lips. "It's brilliant." Though soon thereafter, it did still fade, as she seemed to pause for a few seconds to think and contemplate, knowing as well as both Leigh and J.D. that the chances of such a caustic satire being approved and showing up in the school paper, were practically non-existent. Still, while it was a real shame that they couldn't take such a shot at Matt Sidle's gigantic ego, the drawing had served it's purpose well; it had given Leigh a chance to test Natalie on behalf of herself and J.D., and it had also shown that while most thought J.D. incapable of delivering insults with more of a punch than "Your mother!", he did actually have more brains than that. And that he was a good enough artist to capture the details that made a caricature or a cartoon easily recognizable as the person they portrayed. Which really wasn't an easy thing to do. "Problem is", Natalie said after a few moments, addressing what the two troublemakers had already known was going to be an issue, "I can't get this past the radar." Another brief pause followed as her eyes narrowed slightly, in a manner true to that of someone who's thinking hard, apparently far more unwilling to let the matter go than Leigh had expected her to be. "But something this good deserves to be shared", Natalie finally continued, and then leaned forward as though she was about to embark on a session of conspiratory whispering, yet her voice remained audible, albeit somewhat lowered, "so... If you're up for it, I have an idea to make sure everyone sees it anyway. Matt deserves it." Their curiousity piqued, both troublemakers had leaned in as well, to listen, apparently drawn in by Natalie's dramatic flair of secrecy, but with their reactions towards the end of her statement turning out somewhat different from one another. J.D. looked mostly just puzzled, as though he had either expected an entirely different reaction from Natalie, perhaps thinking she was still carrying a torch for Matt and would take offense, or as though he was trying to figure out just how they could go about ensuring that everyone saw the drawing, without printing it in the school paper, while Leigh on the other hand seemed nothing short of intrigued. Another mischievous twinkle had appeared in her piercing eyes, along with one of slight approval at Natalie's apparent dislike of Matt - though perhaps she should have expected it, considering not only that he'd dumped Natalie, but also how he'd dumped her - and thus she was the first of the two troublemakers to urge Natalie to go on. "So he does", she said with a rather smug smile sliding over her lips. "We're in. Right?" At the last moment, just as J.D. was starting to shoot her a glare for taking it upon herself to speak for him as well, Leigh turned her head to look at him and acknowledge him as someone that might actually have an opinion of his own, and in doing so, turned the glare into a slight shrug instead, since once he was no longer treated as an appendage of sorts, he could only agree. "I guess", he said, with his usual level of (hardly) ecstatic enthusiasm, after which Leigh turned her gaze back to Natalie. "Shoot", she said. |

Aj woke up hearing a loud ring of an alarm clock, she looked to her right side and grabs the clock and smashes the little gadget to the floor. she looked around the room with silence. it has been 3 days since she moved in with her Aunt. it was hard adjusting with them since she never new her or saw her in her life, she even never had the chance to talk to her since she leaves the house early and goes home really late. the house she was living in was a big modern mansion with 3 floors and a basement, it reminded her of their life when she was still a child. she then looks to her left side and sees light coming from the sun entering the balcony door that was opened, as she looked at it and wondered for a while she realized that it was her first day of school. it wasn't like her to worry of being late but she doesn't want to have a bad record already to her Aunt, she then stands up put on the bunny slippers that was already placed beside her bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face. Aj walks out of the room and walked down the stairs to the kitchen, there she saw her cousin Kassel already dressed and eating her breakfast. "ms. Alexa what do you want for breakfast?" the other maid asked as she saw her standing near the entrance of the kitchen. Aj looked at her "uh... er... well anything would be fine" she said as politely as she can, she then sat in the dining table and looked at Kassel. Kassel looked at Aj and smiled "i bet you didn't like the alarm clock mom put in your room." she said and smiled, Aj then made a fake smile "oh no! i really liked the alarm clock, because of my happiness i smashed it" she said and twinkled her eyes. "really you really liked it?" Kassel asked with a big smile, Aj then raised her eyebrows before she could say how stup*d she is her egg and bacon breakfast was served. as she ate she noticed Kassel looking at her, "do you always do that?" Aj asked, "do what?" Kassel replied, "that! looking at people while they eat" Aj said with a sharp tone. "oh! sorry i just can't believe i have a cousin, its really my first time seeing a relative, well except for my mom and your mom which is then my Aunt...." before Kassel could finish what she was saying, "ok! ok! stop i get it already" Aj said Kassel then stopped and bowed her head "you see i never had a sister before, i was just hoping we could be...", Aj then looked at her "ugh! ok! we could be sisters" Aj said and raised an eyebrow as she ate. Kassel looked at her and smiled "really? i was going to say friends but sisters are better right." Kassel said and took a bite out of the carrots she was eating. After breakfast Aj went up to her room to get dressed, she then saw the shopping bags that was set aside, it was cute pink and lavender tops and dresses that her aunt bought for her, she took and peek and felt really grossed out, she then decided to wear her usually clothes. as she finished getting dressed Kassel entered the room, "hey your ready? Jake's waiting outside" Kassel said, "uh? who's Jake?" Aj asked "he's a friend, he's going to take us to school today." Kassel replied, "uh ok." Aj said and grabs her black sling bag and went down. as they drove to school Aj looked outside the window wondering how her dad was doing, even though she hated him deep inside she still worries. Arriving at the school Aj looked around, it felt weird for her since it was a long time since she entered a school, "hey im going to the library wanna come?" Kassel asked. "nope, i think the library is not the place for me." Aj replied, "hmm well ok then see you in a bit." Kassel said and wave at her as she leave. "well alone at last" Aj said and decided to look around. ((OOC: Kassel and Aj are approachable now.)) |

Thanks to Matt’s… expertise at crushing people’s ego, a lot of people knew a good reason as to why she hated him quite so much. That he dumped her, and that he did it publicly and that he went on to gloat about it; it was a severe blow to any girl’s self-esteem, right? Well, it was a plausible reason and it was fair; Natalie didn’t take well to being made a lesson out of, but it really wasn’t why she hated him. If things had been different, she knew exactly how she’d have dealt with it – she could think up ways to humiliate him to the same level that he did to her and then some and then, she’d be done with him. Truth was, contrary to what Matt’s ego hollered at him, he really didn’t mean half as much to her as he thought he did. She’d gone on that date with him for a few shallow reasons; he was cute – hell, let’s admit, he was gorgeous – he was funny, he was charming and she needed friends, she needed to have fun. It wasn’t like she actually had any deep ties to him, so it didn’t matter. However, she hadn’t done what she would have done – humiliate him and be finished with it – and she did absolutely despise him, because he knew something that she didn’t want him – nor anyone else – to know, and to make matters worse, he actually went ahead to exploit it. She’d made a mistake, and it was something that, no matter what she did, wasn’t going to be fixed, but it sure as hell wasn’t his place to pass judgement over it. Given fair warning about how little this was any of his business, he didn’t manage to get it past his thick, well-moisturised skin and now, the gloves came off. That said, she didn’t want anyone to know why she hated Matt quite so much and therefore, when she mulled over the ways to pitch the plan currently forming in her head, she knew that Leigh and J.D. cited the excused Matt had kindly provided her with as the reason for her odium and hence, Natalie made no move to correct them. However, the most important thing was that they agreed; she didn’t want to put all her cards on the table for no reason at all. Though, the way they both followed her lead and leaned in to be conspirators was a positive sign. "So he does,” Leigh conceded with a smile that matched Natalie’s current mood, thereby ensuring it to Natalie that they were in the same boat and so, she could go ahead and take a chance. Question remained, however, regarding why J.D. hated Matt enough to actually spend time thinking about it and coming up with work of art that he’d produced and why Leigh also hated him quite so much. Well, all in good time. "We're in. Right?" Now, though Natalie kept a polite smile on her face, the way the sharp raven-head just about managed to realise that J.D.’s opinion did Matte in this after all – she really did take the reigns, didn’t she? – almost had a grin of amusement blossoming on her features. What was even more surprising, however, was the way J.D. just let it go once she had asked him that passing question. So… what was it, then, that had J.D. backing down; friendship, acceptance…? Because it wasn’t about being controlled – Leigh was outright making decisions for him and he was okay with that and therefore… it had to be something to do with emotional need. "I guess,” he then verbalised his acceptance, leaving Natalie to feel Leigh’s scrutinising gaze on her once more as the brunette tried to keep both troublemakers in her line of sight, for both politeness and also to gauge their reactions to her plan. "Shoot.” Right. So, the plan. Now, just because something wasn’t going to be officially sanctioned didn’t in any way mean that there was no way to get it done; pirate radios, for instance. However, it did mean that you had to be really, very careful in pulling it off, because otherwise, there was going to be a hell of a lot to pay. So, it was a fortunate thing then, that Natalie, if this plan went ahead, had the partnership of two people well-versed in the art of… less than diplomatic disturbances. “We print hundreds of copies of it, anonymously,” Natalie started, her voice now lowered enough just for her two companions, her eyes still as bright with mischief as ever, the word anonymous itself signifying more than just that it won’t be linked back to them. “And then we spread it across the hallways, drop copies from the top of the stairs, make sure everyone gets to see.” The way Natalie saw it, the whole school would be littered with copies of the caricature and it’d be everywhere that Matt turned to. “Now, there are a few small glitches,” she then carried on, preparing to lay out the problems before she suggested the solutions. “One, the cameras… unless we were balaclavas or something, or try to avoid every camera in school, they’ll know it’s us. Two, the printing of the copies… we can’t do it in school, they’ll trace it back to out cards.” Very unfortunately, the printing system in school was operated by student cards involving pre-paid credit; easily traceable. “However,” she then shifted the tone to something far more positive. “Easy solutions available; we get it done while school's out.” And it was currently winter; they wouldn’t have to wait long before it got dark. “We need to do something to disable the security cameras and do it early in the morning so that they don't have enough time to clear it up.” She paused, letting her eyes contemplatively drink in the sight of J.D. and Leigh; “I'm hoping you guys know people?” “That done, as for the second problem, we’ll just have to get the copies printed out privately,” she suggested. “And for something this good, I’ll pay.” A hint of mischief crept into her features as she recalled what Leigh had earlier said; "Or we can make Laramie pay for it...." And sorted. Well… almost, because there was another insult to injury that suddenly jumped up to Natalie, only… she couldn’t see a way to go about it. “Do you know of any way we could get Laramie's credit card?” she contemplated slowly... thinking up ways to make it work. (((OOC: Oh, Natalie… you’ll just never change. *glomps* Hope that works, Atropa! :D))) |

Claire Whitmore zoomed through the school parking lot in the new Mercedes her father had bought her for her sixteenth birthday. As she whipped into a parking space, nearly clipping a shiny BMW as she did so, Claire thought about how she had never even asked for a car, let alone a Mercedes. For most of her life, she'd never asked her parents for much at all, knowing that they had little to give. Before her father had succeeded with his new business, he'd worked a series of low-paying, dead end jobs that barely supported the family. Her mother had never worked a serious job in her life, preferring instead to stay home with her canvasses. Of course, a few of her mother's paintings had sold, but Claire was in no doubt as to her mother's extent of talent. Sadly, Mary Whitmore was no Picasso. Claire got out of the car, dragging her black messenger bag along behind her. After slamming the car door, she pressed the lock button on the remote that dangled from her keys. The car honked at her in response. Shouldering her bag, Claire traipsed a bit warily toward the school doors. She was new here. She knew absolutely no one, and she was more than a bit nervous at the prospect of arriving here a total stranger, like an unwelcome crasher at a party. As with every high school, there were bound to be cliques at Brooklake High. The only question was could Claire find her place in the school or was she doomed to being an outcast forever? She felt curious eyes watching her as she roamed about the school aimlessly. She had a little while before her first class, and she wanted to get acquainted to her new surroundings. After ten minutes of roaming, however, Claire soon got bored and decided that she would leave it up to fate to decide whether or not she'd get lost on her first day at Brooklake. Upon finding the library, she decided to enter and check out her new school's supply of books. Claire was more of an artist than a bookworm, but she still enjoyed curling up with a good book on a rainy afternoon sometimes. Claire entered the library and looked around. Shelves and shelves full of books greeted her. There were also only a few students residing in the library so early, and most of them, Claire thought, looked like geeks. She didn't have anything against geeks (it was usually the jocks and cheerleaders that tested her nerves most of the time) so she decided to go wander amongst the books herself. As she headed toward one of the bookshelves, she noticed a red haired girl close by. Determined not to start out her first day on an antisocial note, Claire decided to introduce herself. "Hey," she said casually. "Nice library they've got here, huh?" It was a completely lame thing to say, but Claire couldn't think of anything else to say so it would have to do. She only hoped the other girl would think her awkwardness endearing rather than pathetic. ((OOC: Alissa, I have updated Claire's profile. =] I hope it's okay to post already although she isn't up on the first post yet. Claire is approachable.)) |

There is a rather famous saying that insists bad luck or bad things happening comes in threes. Why it had to be threes instead of just ones, Marie-Elisabeth had no idea but after the doozy of a one she got last night she was hoping the other two she was sure were going to follow wouldn’t be so bad. She couldn’t really count not being able to get a hold of Matt properly as number two, since he WAS after all just acting like well....Matt. He did that every day. “ That stupid, arrogant, good looking bastard” she thought to herself, tuning out Sienna’s apologies for being late. She waved the overly tanned girl off and said “Whatever, just remember to be in the parking lot this afternoon after class so we can go. And on time, I do not want to sit around wasting gas waiting for you”. She didn’t bother saying anything else, just swept into class and took her seat with Caroline trailing after her. Math was, like most subjects, boring to Marie-Elisabeth. It wasn’t that she was bad at it, she got a passable B- most of the time, it was just so long and tedious. She kept stealing glances at Matt, and rolling her eyes watching him go about his usual activity of flirting with anything female in a five mile radius. Growing impatient for the lesson to end, she pulled her phone out and decided to send a message to Josh, knowing she’d definitely have a lot to talk to him about after lunch. She smiled when she flipped her phone open, looking at the shot of Josh in his uniform she had as the background. She was sure she had a bit of a stupid looking grin on her face as she glanced over at him before returning her gaze to the phone. You excited for the dance yet? All I’m telling you is blue and strapless, but you’ll it I promise Sorry we didn’t get to talk this morning, we’ll have to talk after lunch okay? Love you, M-E She sent the text, shut the phone and put it in her purse. Marie-Elisabeth then resumed impatiently tapping her newly manicured nails on the desk and ignoring her practically un-touched notebook beside her. You can only doodle M-E and J in hearts and put swirly things around it so many times before you get bored, and she was resisting the urge to pretend to have to use the washroom before she went loco and started throwing well sharpened pencils at Natalie’s head. Not that that wasn’t an attractive prospect, she just didn’t want to waste the pencils. However, she didn’t have to come up with an excuse because horrible thing number two decided to make its’ appearance. It chose the form of a rather hideous wave of nausea that had her holding back the urge to share the fact that she had a bowl of fruitloops for breakfast with the whole class. Quickly grabbing all her stuff, she made her way up to the teacher’s desk and muttered something about feminine problems before heading out the door. Once outside she dashed into the nearest bathroom, which was mercifully empty, and into the nearest stall. After ridding her stomach of the fruity cereal she had for breakfast, along with swearing to learn to make voodoo dolls for the express purpose of sticking pins into sensitive parts of Matt’s anatomy, she picked herself up and wiped her mouth off. She resisted the urge to kick the door as she exited the stall and pulled out her makeup bag and plopped it on the bathroom counter. “I swear by all that is holy I am going to kill him and hide the body so f*&king far away it’ll never be found” she muttered as she went about the task of fixing her makeup and erasing any evidence of what she had spent the last several minutes doing. Being sick had put visions in her head of the eventual weight gain and other hideous things that were going to happen to her, and that only increased her resolve to dig her spikyist heels out of her closet at give Matt a well placed kick. “Time to go face the music” she though, giving herself a final spritz of perfume and a once over in the mirror. She noted with great satisfaction that not a curl was out of place and her makeup looked flawless as always. Tossing the rest of her things into her bag, she shoved the bathroom door open just as the lunch bell was ringing. Thankfully for her, it didn’t take Marie-Elisabeth very long to locate a familiar brunette head just outside the cafeteria. And thankfully for the owner of said head, she resisted the urge to throw something at it and just increased her pace to stand next to him instead. For once, she figured it was better to just take the proverbial bull by the horns and not dance around the subject, largely because she knew full well Matt was still going to be angry with her. And she really didn’t want him pissed off right now “So” she said, shifting her bag on her shoulder “Seeing as you’re the school expert on places not to be disturbed, where do you want to go?” ((OOC: *sits in well covered and fortified trench with popcorn to watch the show* It’s so funny that I can’t seem to picture ME not sweeping into a room. Probably some weird leftover relic of Vipers and her multitude of poofy gowns That and her general attitude LOL Also before you ask, yes that is my FAVOURITE perfume and I wear it all the time. It seemed very ME ish to me!And Alissa, have I ever mentioned I ADORE your icon :D:D:D Also, my apologies to Atropa, I've been rather absent and less than pleasant about it and I'm sorry. I'm going to do my utmost to be back more now))) |

Thud. Groan. "I know, I know, it breaks my heart too." The words; spoken by a lean and muscular young man in the currently rather deserted boy's restroom on the second floor. The groan; uttered by the slightly smaller senior pothead whose gut had just gotten intimately reacquainted with his fist. It wasn't the first time the two of them found themselves in this kind of situation, and Tyler suspected that sadly, it wouldn't be the last one either. Shane Baysten, the boy currently doubling over in pain infront him, with Tyler offering a steady arm for support to keep him from falling over, just never seemed to learn his lesson, even though it had been taught to him three times already, if counting this one. He would find himself short on cash, and either lend some from Tyler's employers through Tyler, or score some of his beloved weed from Tyler on credit, and then end up 'forgetting' about it, until Tyler made a point of reminding him. Then he'd try his usual sob story of an excuse, babbling on and on about how money was still tight, since his parents wouldn't give him any, or he had lost his weekend job at the mall, or his car had broken down and he'd had to get it fixed, always wrapping it all up with asking if he could please, please get an extension. All to no avail, and deep down already fully aware of it. The only reason why they still let him borrow money, was because even though it usually took a session of roughing him up, it did take only one, since the very next day, he had 'miraculously' managed to get his hands on enough money to pay them back. "Look", Tyler said, while giving him a light, encouraging pat on the back as he struggled to straighten back up. "You know I don't like doing this, but you gotta learn, man. If it's gonna go this far every time, I'm gonna have to stop doing business with you, because if you don't pay, it's my *ss on the line. And I like you, but not enough to take that kind of heat for you." Still grimacing slightly from the pain, but now at least standing somewhat straight, leaned back against the cool tiles of the wall behind him, Shane gave a slow nod. "I know, I'm sorry, Ty", he promised. "It won't happen again." "Yeah, I hope so...", said Tyler, while studying him with a mix of criticism and concern in his dark blue eyes. "Cuz if it does, it'll be the last time." Shane merely nodded in understanding, yet Tyler still had his doubts that it wasn't just going in one ear and out the other, in which case the next time Shane came to him for money, if history repeated itself yet again, it really would be the last time Tyler gave him a loan or even credit, because he really couldn't afford to lend money to someone with a history of not being able to pay when payment was due, and thus there being the risk of them ending up not able to pay at all. Tyler couldn't afford it, for more than one reason. Since most of the time it was up to him to decide whom to lend money to in the first place, if he didn't get it back for his employers, him roughing up the 'customer' wouldn't be the only lesson taught. The scar above his eyebrow and the small one on his chin kept him well reminded of that. It had not been a pleasant experience, and what he did to the kids that needed some 'encouragement' to cough up the money, paled in comparison. "Alright", Tyler said, deciding that even though he had his doubts, there was little he could say to stress his point any more than the punch to the gut had already done, "well, I'll see you around." And with that, he headed for the door, pulling it open and nearly colliding with two junior jocks just on their way in. Talk about timing. Though Tyler supposed they wouldn't have to actually have seen what had happened ten seconds before they walked in, in order to figure it out. Tyler Young exiting a fairly remote and deserted area of the school and leaving behind a notorious stoner with temporary difficulties of standing up straight... Even the meatheads would manage to put two and two together on that one. But as long as there was no actual eyewitness account, things were fine, and even if there had been, most of the kids knew better than to tell on him. Alright, so, lunchtime. The first part of it he'd spent dealing with Shane, but a glance down at the expensive watch around his wrist - although he hardly wore brand-name clothing, or live in a fancy apartment, he did make fairly good money, and spent it on what most teen boys with money and no parental influence would; toys, such as his motorcycle, a nice watch, and a killer sound/TV system - informed him that he still had plenty of time to grab a bite in the cafeteria. And with the first horde of hungry teenagers having already gotten their food, the que to the register was almost non-existent, which left Tyler able to enter the cafeteria, buy his meal, and sit down at an empty table - unlike the preps and jocks, he wasn't the type to consider eating alone a social stigmata - in less than three minutes. That had to be some kind of a record. (((ooc: Most approachable. )))

Aj arrived at the school grounds, as she looked ahead she felt wind coming from outside the grounds, she then climb the stairs to the stands, she then sat down and looked towards the grounds were she saw students practicing cheer leading, football and other sports. Aj didn't really liked sports, especially Cheer leading. she sat there for about 8 minutes imagining the jocks having big potato heads and the cheerleader's looking like horses with horns. she then snapped out of it and decided to leave. As Aj walked the hall's of the school she felt eye's looking at her like she had something big and really scary stuck at her face, she then stopped and looked back, as she looked the heads suddenly turned like they weren't even staring. trying to get out of the sight of the students she decided to enter a room. Aj then entered the cafeteria, Aj then looked around and saw many students eating, talking, chatting and cutting in lines just to get food. as she walked around her stomach then started growling like a plane crashed into it. it was then that she felt hunger, she then decided to get some food, after a few of the students ordering it was then her turn, she then grabbed her food and looked for a place to eat, she wanted a silent more place were there were no people but she couldn't find one, she then looked for a table were there was few people as possible she then saw a table were there was only a guy seated she then decided to approach him, she then stood near him "uh! umm, hi im new here and i don't know anyone yet. so uh yeah anyway can i seat with you?" Aj asked the guy. ================================================= Kassel arrived at the library, as she entered she saw few people reading and scanning some of the books, she felt a sudden breeze and excitement came to her. she then smiled then grabbed as many books that she can hold while grabbing books a girl then came near her and talked to her. feeling a bit weird with all the books she was holding she decided to drop them all, as the books falled to the floor she just flashed her a smile. "yeah, i know right. it reallly is. this library is one of the oldest rooms in the school." Kassel replied. ((OOC: sorry i can't post as long as you guys. so i hope it doesn't break any rules.)) |

((Aya, 'tis perfectly alright, and there's no rule for this RP about minimum lengths, so you're fine. If you do want to have longer posts, just think about what your character is thinking about, and their body language, and if it fits, write about that. Not only are your posts longer if you do [though that really isn't a big concern], but you and all the other RPers get to know the character better, and it gives the other layer more to react to, and that in turn lets them give you more to react to. But, as I said, longer != better. Whatever you like ))

(((ooc: Aya - You're fine, don't worry. Will try and get a response for Tyler up a.s.a.p., but it might be a day or two before I have a chance. One thing though; it's currently winter, so I don't imagine there would be cheerleaders practicing outside... Time to himself... It was a luxury Matt Sidle could rarely afford. For years now, he had built close to his entire life on the social aspect of it, defining himself by what he appeared to be to others, and as such, keeping such a wide circle of friends and wannabe friends, that wherever he went, for the majority of the day and the evening, there would be people he knew to surround him. Rarely would he find a few minutes of peace to spare for his own inner ponderings, because even though he did have the choice of seeking out some remote location, or to shut himself away in his room, his social life was what kept his glorious persona of prep perfection alive, and so it had to be well maintained and nurtured. He couldn't afford to let it slip, and so time alone would usually get 'pwned' - to use that utterly ridiculous phrase that nerds would shriek when unlike the real world, their make believe one offered them a slice of brief importance - by time with others. And Matt knew it. He even expected it. But it didn't mean that he enjoyed every single time it happened. Although his outward appearance had now purged itself of signs of anger and upset that had clung to him when he'd left the class room, he still needed to calm down. To be left alone, and to calm down. To sort out his thoughts in peace and quiet, and then muster the energy he needed to make it through the rest of the day. God, how he sometimes wished he smoked... That seemed to have such a calming effect on the people who did it, and he would have an exellent excuse to venture out into the cold and stand by himself for a little bit, without looking like a total freak. Or, no... What he needed was an outlet, not a sedative. A nice, long run, just like yesterday, when annoyance over Josh and his antics had put him in such a foul mood. There was nothing better to rid you of frustrations and anger, than to take it out on the track, to let the fast pace cleanse you of it all, and the rejuvenation and blissful harmony that lowered itself over you after a good workout, to give your mind the peace it needed for you to be able to look at whatever was bothering you with fresh eyes, and help you think of the way to best deal with it. Yes, a nice, long run was what Matt needed. And thankfully, with lunch soon about to end, there was only one class left to sit through, before he would get a chance. Although... Oh, h*ll no! He would so not attend biology! Not after what had just happened in that other classroom, with both Josh and Dylan treating him like... like... like he just didn't deserve to be treated! After what they had said to and about him, he really didn't feel like he could stand the sight of either of them. Even the thought alone of either of them still made his blood boil, and... "So." A most familiar voice to his left cut through his inner grumblings, and pulled him to a halt. Stifling the irritated sigh that had threatened to spill over his lips as he immediately realized who it was, he reluctantly turned his head to look at one of the last people he felt like dealing with right now; his oh-so-lovely-ex, the Queen B*tch herself. "Seeing as you're the school expert on places not to be disturbed", she said, apparently assuming that despite his rather dismissive text message to her earlier, he would drop everything he was doing - which, granted, wasn't all that much, but still... - and make time for her, "where do you want to go?" Usually, that kind of comment, alluding to his popularity with the girls, would have recieved a rather self-satisfied smirk in response, or perhaps even his notorious dazzling smile. But, under the circumstances, it managed to draw only a slight eyeroll from him, since what it really was - or so he assumed - was another stab at him for having been late in meeting up with her the previous day. "What's the difference?", he snapped back at her. "Obviously you intend to be there with me." Though with that small opportunity to vent having appeared and been seized, he immediately continued, before she'd have a chance to practice her usual routine on him again. "Come on", he said, and started heading towards the gym hall, glancing over his shoulder only once to make sure she was coming, instead of throwing a tantrum and trying to make him look like a fool by stalking off on his own. A place to talk... Well, it was true, Matt did have quite a few of those, since the key to the boiler room wasn't the only one he'd gotten his hands on. Though talking was rarely what he did in the rooms he'd gotten access to. Not when they could be put to much better use. But anyway, he supposed he could reveal one of his spots, since enough people had seen him wander out of there a few times already, followed by one of his 'love interests' at the time, so it was hardly a secret anymore. Thus, when he and Marie-Elisabeth had almost reached the the sports hall, he stopped by a door to the left - the one leading to the summer sports closet - and dug into one of his pockets while looking around to make sure the hallway was empty of teachers and other school staff. Seeing none, he then slipped a key into the lock, not waiting for Marie-Elisabeth to neither approve nor disapprove of his choice, and following a soft click pushed the door open, while motioning for her to step inside. Once there, with the door closed and securely locked behind them, ensuring no intruders, he turned to his former girlfriend, while his arms folded themselves expectantly across his chest. "What?", he asked. |

Application - Lilith Fitzgerald
Name: Lilith Bethany Fitzgerald (she HATES her middle name) Age/Class: 16/Junior Clique: she doesn't consider herself as pertaining to any clique, though she's closer to a Troublemaker than anything else (so, yes, Troublemaker). She does however get lumped in with the Goths on a regular basis due to her predilection for dark clothes, fishnets and stompy boots, but she does not identify with them. She absolutely hates being associated with Emos. After School Activity: Drama club, mostly because Leigh's in it. Brief History/Personality Description: Lilith has been called many things: troubled girl, troublemaker, a waste of potential, freak and slut being among them. She is ok with that, because it only proves most people's tendency to pigeonhole based on shallow assumption and stereotypes, plus there is the added benefit that she remains always one step ahead of them all, because if there's one thing Lilith isn't, it's predictable. Boisterous, but not an indiscriminate hothead, sharp-tongued but not innately malicious, Lilith has difficulties connecting and bonding with other people, which her refusal to be considered a part of any of the established highschool cliques does not help. She is, however, not necessarily unfriendly, though her quirky personality, dry humour and sarcasm tend to come across as off-putting, even aggressive. She enjoys new thrills and challenges and messing with the world view of certain people who seem to glide through life as though they had been born with a set of skills she apparently lacked. Especially reluctant to invest trust and feelings in other people, once her good opinion is lost, it is lost forever: Lilith is notoriously unforgiving and tends to hold grudges. She holds “posers” in the greatest contempt, those people who carved themselves a fake exterior to please the masses, regardless of what clique they were in and she has been known to stand up for the underdog just out of principle. Deeply-set trust issues also surround her general attitude towards boys and dating, and indeed Lilith displays fairly liberal views towards the latter. In her own (boastful) words, “men are only good for one thing” and she pursues them freely, but avoids any real form of romantic commitment, supposedly because she has no need for it and is perfectly happy with casual sex. In reality, it is a defense mechanism, Lilith being stubbornly convinced that once she gave her heart to someone, it would be returned to her in a million pieces, and yet she seeks out guys she is able to get along with. These shallow encounters serve to inadequately fill the void in her which secretly cries out for attention, and affection, a void created by the general difficulty Lilith has with maintaining friendships. In spite of appearances however, she is quite discriminate regarding her partners, harbouring a strong hatred for manipulators and men who degrade women. As a student, Lilith maintains average grades with the occasional failures as well as the odd exceptional result when she bothers to study properly (usually when she has no other choice, such as during detention). The only thing that keeps her from being among the best students in the year is her general apathy towards school work, much to her teachers' disdain. As long as she is able to maintain mediocre grades with just minimal studying, she is happier to devote herself to more interesting activities, such as partying, boys and, of course, her band. The band, of which Leigh Grayson is also a member, is the centre of Lilith's world: she finds escape and expression in the music and the moment she begins to sing all her troubles seem to fade away; she feels powerful and invincible, and most of all, that she is actually worth something. She fantasizes about fame and their “big break”, while fully embracing the whole “sex, drugs and rock'n'roll” lifestyle. Her love of music makes Lilith a great fan of dancing and she has been known to gain access to nightclubs teens weren't usually allowed in and party her ass off, usually ending up with a horrid hangover and a strange guy in her bed the following day. She maintains an undefined sort of friendship with Leigh, and the other member of their band. Anything else you might want to add: There is a reason why Lilith scorns emotional attachment: she has seen the effect her father had on her mother who loved him and how he used those feelings against her. Oh yeah, I forgot to say: I'm open to connections, plots, ideas, etc ![]() Picture: ![]() ![]() ![]() |

(( Once again very very sorry for my absence. I was in France on exchange. I know I’ve been dropping off the face of the RP earth often, and I apologize. From now on I will try to be more reliable – a new thread is a good time for a fresh start, I figure. )) The sun had come out. Lacey Cormier gazed up at the sky through half-shut eyes, rays of sunshine peeking through her eyelashes. She imagined the sun as a girl in a yellow dress, with buttery hair blowing in the wind and a smile to light up a room. It was a nice image – a girl in a yellow dress, who brightened things up wherever she went. She liked to think that maybe, just maybe, she was a bit like the sun in that respect. Maybe the things she said or did made someone, somewhere, happy. Just maybe. “Watch out!” Lacey was interrupted in her daydreaming by a frisbee zooming past her head. She opened her eyes, and picked it up off the floor to throw it back to the two boys who had been playing with it. She rolled onto her stomach and watched them, one lazy hand above her eyes to shield them from the sun. This particular patch of grass at the back of the Brooklake High building was usually occupied by smokers, who littered the ground with cigarette butts, so it was good to see something wholesome take place on the field. Today, under the watchful gaze of the sun creeping out from underneath the October clouds, it seemed as though only nice things would happen. Maths had been as dreary than usual – numbers didn’t interest Lacey. There was no creativity, no possibility, no imagination in them. They were hard facts and that was that, and usually they were hard facts that she didn’t understand. The bell for lunch had rung quite some time ago, and Lacey had headed to the grass to listen to music and generally enjoy the small amount of sunshine. Despite frisbees soaring dangerously close to her, and Biology – which was only slightly more interesting than Math – as the next class looming over her head, she was enjoying herself. *** "Would you watch your f*cking feet?!" Natasha Raines hissed through clenched teeth. The freshman the hiss was directed at cringed back, his mousey features screwed up in fear. His beady brown eyes were fixated on the furious girl in front of him, whose pointy black boots he had just tripped over, and who was now scowling at him. She was terrifying not just because her eyes were blazing with anger, or because she was a junior, but because there was a monstrous black mark on her cheek. Natasha watched the boy's anxious gaze fall on the black spot, and in an instinct, flung her hair in front of it with a tilt of her head. She felt some of the angry confidence drain out of her as she realized people were looking at her. Looking at her deformed face. Donnie's advice - start exfoliating? Seriously? - hadn't helped her one bit, and though the words silver nitrate had rung a very dim bell in her head, she still had no clue what to do. A tiny part of her longed for the days when she could solve any problem with her endless assortment of knowledge, the encyclopedia in her head - longed for the old Natasha, who would have known what to do. Yes, but she wouldn't have cared about black marks on her skin. She would have convinced Katie to paint her cheek black too and make it seem like it was on purpose, a special token of their friendship, the sign of a secret exclusive club, or some sh*t like that. The old Natasha wouldn't have cared, but then the old Natasha didn't care that her hair perpetually looked as though she'd had an electric shock, or that she wasn't up-to-date on the latest fashion. Wasn't it much better now? No question. She stepped past the freshman who had trodded on her toe so carelessly, making sure that the pointy heel of her boot bore into his foot, and moved further down the cafeteria. She glanced around, looking for any table with acceptable people at it, and could find no one. So she took an empty table, crossed her legs, and hoped desperately that another prep would join her so she wouldn't look like the freaky loner with the skin problem. (( Both very approachable. Oh and welcome Ghanima, looks like a great character!)) |

(((ooc: Ghani: :elephant: :jig: :cdance: and... uhmm... :companion Okay, done now.))) For once in her life, since moving to Brooklake anyway, Leigh wasn't looking for trouble. Having left behind the sweet, well-behaved girl she had once been, before her younger brother had come along and "stolen" her parents' attention, she had in recent years gotten herself into a myriad of different situations, none of which could be justly described as healthy and advantageous for any young lady. She'd had far more experience with sex, drugs and crime than some people did in an entire lifetime, although she had, so far, been lucky enough to manage to stay away from getting into the "heavy" drugs, or even getting hooked by the "lesser" ones, as well as managed to keep her nose out of more serious crimes such as robbery, grand theft or burglary. She still had that little voice holding her back from committing the more severe deeds common among the group that defined her, and in essence, she was still a nice girl. Not necessarily a good one, but still a nice one. She didn't get a kick out of hurting people, unless of course they deserved it, and she did still have morals as well as empathy. It was just that sometimes, they were simply forgotten in the heat of the moment, when her hot temper or even her thirst for adventure were triggered and took over. And, let's not forget, the influence of the crowd she hung out with tended to have an impact on girls in her situation as well. Although far from a sheep blindly following the rest of the herd, there was still that unspoken but very much real pressure of living up to the reputation she had made for herself, and so sometimes the softer, calmer and more sensible side of her would just have to take the backseat to her troublemaker one. The most recent development in her young life, however, of getting to return to Brooklake only on certain conditions, posed her with the dilemma of finding a balance between behaving well enough for the adults to think that what school she went to really did matter, and still not give people reason to think she had gone soft. And with one fight already under her belt on her first day back, she had promised herself that she would try hard to keep a low profile for the rest of the week, and only get involved in things that weren't likely to get her into too much trouble, even if caught. But... There are some things that are just too good to pass up, even when you are making a conscious effort to stay fairly well on the straight and narrow. "We print hundreds of copies of it, anonymously", Natalie began divulging her plan to the two troublemaker friends, her words instantly planting an image in Leigh's head that tugged her lips into a widened smile. "And then we spread it across the hallways, drop copies from the top of the stairs, make sure everyone gets to see. Now, there are a few small glitches. One, the cameras... unless we were balaclavas or something, or try to avoid every camera in school, they'll know it's us. Two, the printing of the copies... we can't do it in school, they'll trace it back to out cards. However, easy solutions available; we get it done while school's out. We need to do something to disable the security cameras and do it early in the morning so that they don't have enough time to clear it up." There she paused for moment while studying the two troublemakers, one of them - Leigh - nodding along with what she had just said as a sign of following in Natalie's minor monologue, and of agreement, while the other seemed to have found something amusing about what she had just said, as a bit of a smirk had formed on his lips. "I'm hoping you guys know people?", Natalie added, and in doing so, drew an actual part chuckle, part snort from J.D., though he did remain silent as she continued; "That done, as for the second problem, we'll just have to get the copies printed out privately. And for something this good, I'll pay." Another ever so brief pause, as an idea seemed to form in her mind, the smile on her lips leaving little doubt regarding it's nature. "Or we can make Laramie pay for it...", she suggested, yet still seemed somewhat uncertain regarding the possibility of such a plan. "Do you know of any way we could get Laramie's credit card?" As far as Leigh's approval was concerned, she had just performed something as miraculous as a slam dunk; something not achieved by many. Obvious dislike of the Prince of Preps, and willingness to mess with dean Laramie, suggesting she harboured no particularly tender feelings towards him either? Yup, Natalie Cardew was, believe it or not, alright in Leigh's book. At least for now. It remained to be seen how much of the plan she intended to carry out herself, or if she would just try to play the Chessmaster to their Elite Mooks, in which case; think again, sweetie. "I was gonna say we are people", J.D. said, referring to Natalie's question about him and Leigh knowing 'people'. "I can fix the cameras, but I ain't stealin' no credit card." "Hm, yeah, I really can't risk it either", Leigh said with a bit of a frown, and then added with a slight eye roll: "I'm supposed to be on 'good behaviour'." Taking a few moments to think, she let her gaze wander the cafeteria in inner contemplation, as though she was looking for something that might inspire her, that might spark an idea of how to pull off the Laramie bit. Because really, that was sort of the icing on the cake, and far too good to pass up. And what do you know, even though she hadn't actually expected to spot anything that would help solve the dilemma, her eyes did end up locking briefly on something across the room, and her head snapped back to face J.D.. "What about Ty?", she suggested, tilting her head slightly to indicate in which direction this 'Ty' was to be found. J.D.'s eyes flicked over to the boy with the light ash brown hair seated at one of the tables along the opposite wall - the young man whom despite being considered part of the troublemaker clique, J.D. didn't know all that well, other than by reputation - and then back to Leigh again. A slight shrug was to be his only reply. Leigh knew the guy better than him, so then she would also know better than him both the likelihood of Tyler Young being interested, and of keeping his mouth shut. Though he supposed Tyler hadn't gotten to where he was by talking too much. "It's worth a shot?", Leigh said, neither bothered nor surprised by J.D.'s apparent lack of an official stance on the matter, as she was quite used to it by now. Instead, she simply turned back to Natalie. "Know who Tyler Young is?", she asked. "I think he might be willing to help. Probably for a fee though."

Jude wondered as he approached Donnie, if him halting his journals was a polite reaction to his approach or if Donnie still remembered that Jude used to talk into his microphone and throw off his flow of events. Even though they had spoken almost every week for the past two years while playing World of Warcraft, Jude was slightly cautious, lots of things had changed over his absence and even though it was ok with Donnie that they run instances together, he wasn't sure if their semester of friendship before he was shipped off, still held up in the boring physical world. He wasn't sure what had gone on at Brooklake after his banishment, he had been too concerned with trying survive boarding school politics and wondering if Katie Byrd missed him at all. For the first couple of weeks in Greenland, Jude had been completely miserable and had developed the worst case of insomnia he had ever experienced. Most nights he just sat in his room and stared at the ceiling or the floor, not even bothering to count tiles or flecks or breaths he took, just trying to will himself to sleep and painfully failing. He didn't intend to hijack his roommate's computer, but it was an act of desperation, he needed something to kill off the endless hours of non sleep, and being productive was always out when it came to insomnia. He tried to email Katie but received a 'email address no longer valid' notice. He did however find Donnie and they made plans to play WoW, since just chatting felt lame . After some blackmail and a little...lot of cash, Jude talked his roommate into letting him borrow the laptop on a regular basis. World of Warcraft was probably the thing he looked forward to most in Green Crest Boarding Academy. "What's up?" Donnie asked. Jude didn't know where to start. He assumed Donnie probably didn't really care, if he did the question would have been more specific. Jude shrugged right before deciding that he should give the only person who probably still wanted to be his friend a little more effort than a shrug. "It looks like I'll be staying in Brooklake until either my dad gets sick of me or I screw up again." he was a master of stating the obvious, of course he was still here, why would he be enrolled in school if he was leaving soon, he sighed annoyed with himself. "I also had an awkward run in with Katie this morning," Donnie should understand, even though Jude didn't carry on as much about Katie Byrd out loud as he did in his head. "I think I said something wrong." he said quietly as he focused on the scuff marks on the floor between him and Donnie. "So, that black stuff on Natasha is silver nitrate, right? I noticed it last night when I was picking her up from cheerleading. I take it you're covering that story for the paper...oh, speaking of last night," He said as he matched Donnie's pace down the nearly empty hallway. He remembered the car with the shattered windshield that he had taken photographs of. Jude lifted his Canon Mark III and fiddled with the display buttons before scrolling over to a picture of the damaged Honda's windshield. "Now, I may be wrong, but isn't that Caleb's car?" he paused and looked at Donnie for an indication that he remembered Caleb Gentry, "He tried to shove us both in the same locker the first week of school...despite our protests that it was impossible to fit one person in there, let alone two. He's not still here is he?" Judas flinched at the thought and wondered if Donnie had ever taken his advice on getting a taser...or a sword. (ooc: blegh, i kind of zoned out a lot while writing this so I'm sorry if it's bad. Hope this is ok robokitty, also summerkelsa, I hope what I said about Caleb is ok, let me know if I should change anything) |

Claire watched the other girl spill her books all over the floor. She bent down and began to gather the books into her arms. Standing up, she offered the books back to the other girl with what she hoped was a helpful smile. She wasn't used to smiling all that often, and she didn't want the gesture to look forced. She honestly was trying to be approachable on her first day at Brooklake. At her old school, Claire had apparently come off as too aloof to her other classmates and so she had often been shunned for a loner. She was determined not to let that happen again. Maybe she'd never become part of the popular clique here at this new school, but perhaps she'd be able to make a few friends. "Here you go," said Claire, handing the books over. "I'm Claire Whitmore by the way. I'm new here. Are you new too?" It was probably too much to hope for, but if the other girl was new as well at least Claire knew she would not be the only newcomer at the school. |

((OOC: I felt like making a new character. I figured the more the merrier. Hope that's all right.)) Name
Evan Marshall Age/Class 16/Junior Clique Oddballs After School Activity Music Club Brief History/Personality Description Evan Marshall was born into a broken family. From the day he was born, his mother raised him by herself. After their divorce when his mother was still pregnant with him, Evan's father left the family for good, neglecting even to pay the required child support. But to his mother it was good riddance for his father had been a lazy, no account drunk who lacked any ambition whatsoever and could not provide for the family. During Evan's childhood, his mother worked two jobs to support herself and her young son. In her spare time, which was rare, she loved to write. She sent off a manuscript to a major publisher on a whim and to her great surprise her story was accepted for publishing. Her first novel was published and quickly became a bestseller when Evan was only ten years old. Nowadays he and his mother live in a spacious Colonial home on a spacious plot of land dotted with many trees. To date, his mother has published five novels and is currently working on her latest. As a result of her newfound craft, his mother became slightly reclusive and Evan found himself alone a lot of the time although he didn't feel neglected. He knew his mother loved him in her own way. She wasn't prone to displays of affection, but he didn't mind. During his childhood, he had only a few best friends and he would run and play around the neighborhood with them whenever he wanted to. His mother was not the most attentive of parents and so he often was left to his own devices. He developed a mischievous, playful streak that exists to the present day. He is very fond of jokes and pranks and doesn't take anything too seriously. Life is one big game and all the people in the world the players. At his first high school, where he spent his freshman and sophomore years, Evan was expelled for one of his practical jokes. He had decided to play a prank on his least favorite teacher, Mrs. Burnett, which backfired. Mrs. Burnett was deathly afraid of spiders as she liked to remind the class at least once a week during one of her many boring, droning lectures. So Evan decided to bring in a fake tarantula and place it on her seat one morning before class started. To his horror and dismay, however, when Mrs. Burnett saw the tarantula she was so terrified that she had a heart attack right then and there. He hadn't known about Mrs. Burnett's heart condition, and he'd only wanted to play a funny prank, but the principal didn't find anything amusing about the situation and since Evan had already had a long history of detentions and suspensions for his previous misadventures, the principal decided enough was enough. Evan was kicked out. His mother searched for another school in the area in which to enroll her son and decided on Brooklake High. It's Evan's last chance to make it work at his new school. If he gets kicked out of high school again, he doesn't know what he'll do. His mother warned him that if he gets expelled again he'll have to go work at the local fast food joint flipping hamburgers for the rest of his life. Not looking forward to such a job, Evan has promised his mother that he would behave. However, he knows such a thing is easier said than done. Anything else you might want to add Evan is a new transfer to Brooklake High. His favorite thing to do, besides making fun of other people and himself and playing pranks on people, is playing the guitar. He owns his own cherry red Gibson Les Paul, which he treats as carefully as a newborn infant. He prides himself on his irrepressible sense of humor, and he knows that because of it people often don't take him very seriously. However, deep down he can be quite serious if the situation calls for it, but his first reaction to anything, especially any stressful situation, is to laugh. That gets him into trouble more often than not for laughing during grave situations. Picture ![]() |

There are many different kinds of dangerous people. Psychopaths and sociopaths, with their violent tendencies and their impulsivity, their narcissism and their indifference towards hurting others. The power hungry, with a determination to climb higher and higher in social rank, be it in honest business or with crime lining their path. There are those so overly confident or reckless with their own lives, that they indeliberately though still most carelessly endanger those of others. And then there are the desperate, driven beyond reason and self-control, because of one or more among a myriad of reasons, such as lack of food, safety, money or drugs, or because a loved one or even themselves are being threatened by someone or something, bringing out those basic protective and aggressive instincts ruling us all once pushed far enough. But, even with all these types of dangerous people already mentioned, one of the most dangerous still remains; the ones that you know are bad, but can't help but to like. Tyler Young was widely known as someone whose bad side you, if you knew what was good for you, did not want to get on. Not because he had gained notoriety by, like most troublemakers, getting into an excessive amount of fights, or being prone to physical violence (anymore), and not because he was unpleasant or mouthed off to authority whenever he got a chance, but because of his chosen "career", and the many rumours surrounding it. Rumours that, from time to time, would prove themselves to hold quite a fair amount of truth. That, along with possessing that typical, alluring air of a bad boy, had people pegging him as dangerous. And yet, even despite all that, despite even donning the outward appearance of trouble - with piercings and scars "decorating" his handsome features - what most saw when they looked at him, was a friendly face. Beside that semblance of a bad boy, he also had a remarkably disarming air about him, with a smile that came easy, and was as genuine as it was charming. More often than not, whenever it lit up his face, it would even seem to lighten the color of his deep blue eyes. Yes indeed. When people looked at him, what they saw was generally a friendly face. Especially those who weren't familiar with his reputation, which, just as he was digging into his lunch of various indefinables, was aptly proven when a green-eyed, dark-haired beauty he hadn't seen before suddenly appeared by his side, holding a tray of her own; "Uh! umm, hi im new here and i don't know anyone yet", she started somewhat hesitantly. "so uh yeah anyway can i seat with you?" Now, while Tyler had deliberately seated himself at an empty table, it hadn't really been because he wanted to be left alone, or shunned the company of others for any other reason. He just simply hadn't seen anyone he was fairly well acquainted with, and wasn't the type to seek company just for company's sake. So he had simply plopped himself down at the closest convenient table. "Sure", he thus said with a faint smile, while motioning towards the chairs opposite of his. "Take a load off." Then, as the girl sat herself down, he extended one hand. "Tyler Young, impromptu welcome wagon at your service", he introduced himself with a humorous twinkle in his eyes. "You are?" |

Lilith Fitzgerald - Math class - Outside
...Tock-tock-tock-tock... A brisk, impatient staccato mingled with the usual noises of a classroom: a cough here, a hushed conversation there among the ever-present sound of pens scraping on paper in tandem with the monotonous droning of the teacher's voice. Between Lilith's index and middle finger was balanced a pen whose tip and end she bounced incessantly upon the surface of a notebook, creating that interminable succession of short, sharp sounds while her thoughts drifted further and further away from the lesson at hand. “This much boredom should be illegal” the redhead mused scornfully and her eyes drifted momentarily from the empty point in space she'd been staring into and back the page half-filled with equations, various notations and scribblings that was positioned on her desk. Lilith despised math with a fiery passion; it was her worst subject and it didn't help that she'd barely scraped a passing grade the previous term. Given her tendency to not study outside class, Lilith tried not to skip too many classes, particularly math – at least, if she had no particular plans. With every fibre in her screaming for release and more and more difficulty concentrating to whatever Benetti was telling them, the decision to “screw it” was promptly reached, leaving Lilith to count the minutes that crawled by. After all, the term had just started, she had plenty of time to catch up. At one point, the girl seated in front of Lilith turned around with an irritated frown knitting her brows together; it was the second time she'd done it and, as before, she found herself stared down by Lilith's impassive eyes: let's see who has more patience, went the silent message. Considering she had been in that class more than forty minutes without losing her sh*t (yet), the answer was obvious and following a third attempt, the girl did not turn again for the remainder of the class. “I swear, these geeks can get on my nerves as much as the preps at times” Lilith thought, the pen bouncing unrelentingly in her hand. She had just as much right to vent her boredom as the other girl did to lap up every last of Benetti's words, and if that happened to bother her...well, plenty of things bothered Lilith, but unlike some, she coped. When at last, the sweet, sweet sound of the bell rang out through the stuffy classroom, several cheers welcomed it. At once, the subdued semi-silence was replaced by loud chatter, the clattering of chairs and many pairs of feet shuffling as the students scrambled for the door. Despite her eagerness to leave, Lilith made no attempt to join the throng currently clogging the doorway and instead waited until she could stroll out at her usual meandering pace. Unless she had reason to hurry, Lilith liked taking her time when moving from one place to another, which had the extra benefit of avoiding most congestions that tended to form in hallways after the bell just rang. Lilith wasn't big on crowds, particularly since they always seemed to contain people she disliked. Popping her Ipod headphones in each ear, Lilith's eardrums were assaulted by the heavy bass of whatever track was on shuffle, blocking out the surrounding noises of a highschool in recess; it was just as well because, on her way towards the exit, she passed a group of cheerleaders huddled around a notice board. Judging by the rapid movements of their lips, Lilith knew that without the music to blot it out, the squealing and chattering would have been eyeroll-inducing. They were fretting over that moronic Winter Formal that had the entire school buzzing with excitement, and only momentarily ceased their conversation to glance critically after Lilith who strolled by with the characteristic stomping footsteps her signature boots were known to produce. An uneven black top hung lopsidedly atop a bondage skirt that left a good portion of her legs on display, wrapped in one of Lilith's many tights/fishnets combos. Her destination took her outside in the frozen yard, where Lilith quickly replaced her hoodie and began rummaging inside her bag for a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Strategically positioned out of sight, she lit one and brought it to her lips: tobacco and tar fumes filled her mouth and lungs, draining the tension from her body and bringing with them the familiar sensation of calm. Lilith exhaled at length and leaned against the wall, gazing at the world through slitted eyelids. ((ooc: Not approachable at this moment, this is just an introductory post for me (and others) to get into her character a bit. Thank you everyone for the welcome! ![]() |

It looks like I'll be staying in Brooklake until either my dad gets sick of me or I screw up again." "Cool!" It was a simple trained reaction to a stimulus, something that Donnie didn't think of stopping before it was too late. Back when Donnie had known Jude, Donnie had been significantly less polished in his social skills. Now, however, the vapid noncommittal responses so popular among teenagers their age had worked their way into his vocabulary due to his efforts to more smoothly interact with his peers, and somehow it rang hollow to Donnie. Regardless of how generic his response had been though, Donnie found himself feeling glad to know that Jude's return to Brooklake was unlikely to be a temporary one. "I also had an awkward run in with Katie this morning. I think I said something wrong." Donnie could tell Jude was feeling uneasy because of his gaze aversion patterns, and he sympathized with his friend/junior guildmate. He wanted to provide a panacea for his discomfort, and his immediate thought was to suggest that Katie herself possessed social graces that were, perhaps, a notch or two above the autism threshold. However, Donnie doubted that criticism against Jude's object of affection or worse, the implicit suggestion that Jude's social skills might put him on par with an autistic person, would help his situation, so he merely listened and nodded. "So, that black stuff on Natasha is silver nitrate, right? I noticed it last night when I was picking her up from cheerleading. I take it you're covering that story for the paper..." Donnie was about to assert Jude's conclusion when his friend's characteristic propensity for babble interposed itself unto him. "Oh, speaking of last night.... Now, I may be wrong, but isn't that Caleb's car? He tried to shove us both in the same locker the first week of school...despite our protests that it was impossible to fit one person in there, let alone two. He's not still here is he?" While Donnie's memory was not an eidetic one, he did have an uncanny ability to recall names, faces, and other details as a direct result of his normal hyper-vigilance to his surroundings. "Yeah," he said in affirmation of all of Jude's questions. Yeah, he was covering the story. Yeah, it was Caleb's car. And yeah, Caleb wasn't here, but answering questions framed in the negative always irked Donnie because no matter what his answer was it could always be interpreted ambiguously. Caleb isn't here? Yes, he isn't here. Caleb isn't here? No, he isn't here. Idiotic idiomatic expressions, damn it all! "He graduated last year," Donnie clarified, "but not before meeting Tim the Enchanter." He grinned as he patted the side of his bag where he kept his taser. "Didn't I tell you about it online?" Donnie continued recounting the story of how, after a particularly scathing article, Caleb had attempted to deposit Donnie into a garbage can, likely in preparation to roll him down that big hill behind the school, and how Donnie had managed to escape with help from Tim, the pet name he had given his taser. The two made their way down the hall and came to a stop by the school store to pick up Donnie's "fan" mail and, hopefully if Nora remembered, his midday caffeine injection. Nora was a sweet girl, and part of the reason--aside from the well-balanced roast of their coffee and their free wireless--that Donnie regularly visited the Java House to finish his work. On one occasion, someone suggested that Donnie's actions might be construed as courting rituals, but it was absurd to suggest that simply because he enjoyed spending time with her, that presupposed romantic intention. She didn't even make the 95th percentile on her SATs. Donnie wasn't even sure if she made the 80th percentile! "Hey Nora," he said familiarly as they reached the counter. "Mail? And coffee?" Donnie viewed the exclusion of other words such as "Do you have..." or "May I please have..." as one step towards increased lingual efficiency, and he was pleased that Nora would understand him despite those eliminations. ((Hope that works for all involved. And welcome to Ghani ))
