"Most people are weird." Josh laughed a little, not because of what she said though, it was more because of the way she reacted to his long endless speeches about music.

"But then again what fun would it be if everyone was normal?" He commented, picking up his cell phone to check the time. "Gee, are you sure your mother is coming to pick you up? If it gets too late I can take you home..."

He laughed a little after he said that, it was really funny for him to offer himself to do that, he didn't really have a car, his only vehicle were his legs... all he could offer was safety and company then? After that he scratched the back of his head, noticing he said something really stupid and it was written on his expression the words: 'never mind what I said' through a silly smile and a little embarassment.

Madeline looked at him through squinted eyes and giggled, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear.

"That's okay. I have no idea what she could be doing though. Goddamn step parents," she murmured and checked her phone for a missed call or text or something.

But of course, there was nothing and her screen was blank.

"Okay, well, maybe," she joked and laughed. "But what about you, hm? Are you catching the bus?"

~sidenote. Can we go to the next day at school? Everyone is kind of all over the place and some people need somewhere to come back in.~

by **Infinitus** on Thu Jul 03, 2008 6:46 pm

"Actually I got tired of waiting for this bus. Goddamn public transport eh?" Josh got up. "Well, I'll walk. It'll start raining and waiting the bus is asking to wait for the rain to catch me with some awful colds. Come on, I'll accompany you home, you don't live that far anyway do you?" He asked. Either way he was already getting late for dinner, so the bus had already no meaning.

((If you feel like you should advance the time forward, feel free. That'll gather everyone together again. Some people might feel cut like this, but it isn't that much of a big deal. Plus if we wait for all the characters to go to sleep to start a new day, each day here will be an eternity and that doesn't really sound very good.))

~k well I just don't like making anyone mad. So
Everyone went home. Sorry if that's a jump. But needs to be done. So next post should be at school. Anyone who wanted to jump back in I've just helped you out.~

[kayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. X] soooo, josh you walked me home i said goodnight and gave you a hug and blah blah blah NEXT DAY.]

Madeline slammed her step-mom's Mercedes door shut with her hip and bounded into school with a whole bagel in her mouth. She waved hello and smiled as well as she could with her mouth full and headed into school, already a few minutes on the verge of being late.

She took two steps at a time up to the second floor to reach her locker and threw everything in there in a bug rush. Of course, she put her sidekick on vibrate and slipped it in her front pocket. Because putting it in her back pocket would not only vibrate her butt, but her seat causing noise and complete obviousness. Yes, she was a pro and could text under her desk without looking at the keys.

~Arianna~
I was dropped off right when the doors open so when the second bell rang I was just sitting readng Jane Austin. The classic "Pride and Prejudice."

~Martica~
I forgot my alarm, mom forgot to wake me up no car. "I gotta go mom!" I yelled halfway out the door. Thank god Jen doesn't go to daycare on Tuesdays. I bolted to school trying to make it before second bell. Of course it was halfway through first period. "Shit shit shit! That teacher already hates me." I got to class. Then opened the door.
"Martica nice of you to final join us." I saw a test on the desk with my name. "I'll give anyone five bonus points to answer the question of if she gets to take it or not." One snot raised their hand.
"Your not going to let her."
"Exactly another five as to why." Another kid.
"Because class time is valuble and ireplacible and she wasted it"
"Perfect six points." I clenched my fist face turning red. "Take a seat." I sat down and looked out the window. P***k.

New morning, upon waking up, Josh's only thought was. Is it saturday already...? He lifted his head from the pillow and looked to the wall, but no, the weekend was still far away from him. "Guess not..." He yawned as he took some clothes from his and rushed into the bathroom for a quick shower.

Some minutes later, he was already going out of home, without even eating breakfast. Having breakfast with that family of his? No way. He'd much rather have it in a nice place close to school, plus he was always late for the first 2 classes anyway... "Gee... I'll end up failing this year if it continues like this..." Josh sighed, it's not he wasn't concerned about his marks, he was just not being able to put much effort. Not like he had much motivation lately or support from his family.

The second first period ended I bolted. Did everyone have to treat me like I was no better then dirt? It annoys me to no end. Rumor here story there, pain in the ass at school, threat here threat there. Why does everyone want to screw with me? I'm not a bad person. In fact if people knew me better they'd realize I'm nothing like what they make me out to be. Expect for the metal head that's a truth. My teachers just don't like me because I look different and I tend to be unruly when people tick me off. I don't stand for people who annoy the shit out of me. I try not to start fights for no reason.

I ran out to the parking lot and propped the chain link fence, I was smoking on school property.
I didn't even care that I could go to jail.
Today I didn't care about anything, not my mom, not Jen, not jail, not teachers, not school, not even myself or the band. I just wanted to smoke a cigarette. Maybe I should just drop out not like I'm that smart anyways. Then again it's really the only my mom could be proud of. Not that she's ashamed of me. Just no trophies no A's on test or papers.
Nothing. Maybe I am what everybody expects.......

A failure.

I noticed a blade sticking out of my jacket pocket. I laughed as I contemplated suicide. Instead I drew three deep lines into both wrist. I actually felt better. It was weird I was smiling at the blood on my wrist and hand.

by **Infinitus** on Fri Jul 04, 2008 12:25 pm

((Sorry if I kind of sneak up to this scene, I just can't resist things like this.))

Josh was late, wow, what a surprise. He wasn't stupid enough to just enter by the front gate and be seen by the teachers in the corridors. He was experienced in sneaking out and knew all the safe routes into and out of the school, and right now, the best one seemed to be the parking lot.

He climbed the fence and jumped inside the school territory. Wow, there was actually one thing he was good at other than cooking and knowing about music, climbing and jumping. Years of experience in fleeing from school.

One thing he noticed is that there was somebody there and for a moment he was afraid it was a teacher or something, but he saw a girl. He thought about sneaking away hoping he wouldn't be seen, who knows, people liked to gossip so much in this town that there was a chance she would just tell the principal his entry route to the school and he would get caught but when he took a better look he saw blood. It scared him, did she got injured or something? Josh wouldn't just ignore that and sighed. "Another day, another hour late." He complained in low voice so she wouldn't hear him.

He walked up to the girl with his hands on the pockets of his black jacket. "Are you okay?" Josh asked, not noticing the blade. Of course it was a stupid question, how could someone be okay with that... That was just his approach strategy so could actually find out what was happening and maybe be of help. The only weird thing is that she didn't seem to be that bad, at least from her expression. Due to the loaction of the cuts, he was getting the 'wrong ideas'... or not?

by **MarticaNarcassa** on Fri Jul 04, 2008 12:42 pm

~I was hoping you would. You guys are gonna find out I'm mean to my characters.~
Shit! I pocketed the blade and jammed my hands in my jacket pockets. "Nope fine." I of course still had the light in my mouth. To late now. I think he already had the idea in his head. I'm probably gonna bleed to death over here. So I advanced from scene to emo in a whole day. Then again it's not like I've never thought about cutting myself before. This time I had enough reason in my mind.
I have a hard time hiding things. My face shows something. I gave up and pulled them out. "Yeah Josh I f'ing cut myself. Tell all the rumors you want. I really just don't care. If you want me to go to jail I'm cool with that to." I started to walk away. I couldn't deal with anymore judgement. If I had enough guts I probably would of cried. Which I don't do much, I didn't even cry at my dad's funeral.

by **Infinitus** on Fri Jul 04, 2008 12:56 pm

"H-hey!" Josh started going after her and held her by the shoulder. "I'd love to say calm down, but you need to take care of that!" Josh exclaimmed. He looked serious and walked to her looking a little concerned? Well it was Josh, another victim of the rumors, she probably knew that too. Plus he wouldn't just let someone in a rough situation alone without a helping hand.

"No one is going to say anything about this... Don't worry." Josh was kind of understanding what was wrong already. He's been in that dark place she probably was now... just from what she said he knew it was probably some false news about her travelling around just like about him. "Let's just go to the infirmary and take care of this. We can talk afterwards."

by **MarticaNarcassa** on Fri Jul 04, 2008 1:06 pm

Someone who actually cares, atleast a little I hope. "Fine...." I stated. We walked to the school infirmary after I'd put the cigarette out. Of course the nurse just sighed, grabbed the alcohol. I didn't even flinch when she ran it down the cuts. Stung like a B***h to. Then threw some gauze on them and handed me a phamplet on self mutalation. I laughed and ripped it. If I'm cutting myself it's my own damn problem. Now my mom is going to bug the pi$$ out of me. "Why'd I get a call from school saying you had odd cuts on your wrist? Is there something I need to know?" I just walked out of the infirmary turned to Josh. "If they call my house I'm so gonna go sleep in a hotel." Like I even had the cash. Park? That might work it's still summer. We walked back outside. "I'm skipping today. If you don't wanna come I understand. I just need a break." I said walking towards the park.

by **Infinitus** on Fri Jul 04, 2008 1:20 pm

Josh followed her to the gate of school ignoring completely the teachers and other students and sometiems even glaring them with that 'what are you looking at?' expression.

"I understand you not wanting to be here. I spend most of the time outside the school anyway..." Josh sighed. "So, you're actually asking me to come with you or you are just making a comment?" He accompanied her to the park.

"You know, don't let the rumors affect you so badly. In 10 people, only 2 speak the truth in this town." He commented. "Look around and see, people are always watching each other searching for weaknesses and weak spots they can use to their advantage, and this person who is watching the others is also being watched by someone. Some people would say this place is amazing, gossip as much as you want and no one will give a damn, but to me it's hell on earth." He laughed a little bit, at his own words probably. He thought he was the only one that thought about it this way.

Yeah, Josh was one of the first headbangers in the school and during the first two years there, people were always making fun of the long hairs, saying he listed to crap music while others could enjoy their rap songs talking about the real crap. No one seemed to understand his points of view, if he was different, he was perfect to be the aim of people's insults. That happened, until he started to do exactly what people said he did, except the illegal things of course.

"Our silence just makes them stronger, but our fists just make us weaker." Josh placed his hands back inside his jacket's pockets. "So I was thinking. I think you had a pretty tough morning, how about doing something fun for a change? Forgetting this crap of school and rumors and family bothering us." He asked since she probably felt alone, the only thing he was actually worried about, was if she wanted to be alone, in that case he would only bother her.

by **MarticaNarcassa** on Fri Jul 04, 2008 1:33 pm

Something fun? "Your not a pervert right?" He gave me are-you-really-serious look? "Checking. What do you have in mind?" I was curious. I typically was alone and a change of pace sounded like something I needed. "I just wish I had my car then again I probably couldn't afford the gas. No to clear up a rumor I'm not some poor intercity kid. My mom has a good job our house is small but it's only three people."

by **Infinitus** on Fri Jul 04, 2008 1:49 pm

"Do I look like a pervert?" He asked, surprised at hearing that. "I know I'm weird, but I'm not that bad, don't worry." Josh said, with a smile? Yeah, he smiled, she didn't need to see someone frown given the current situation so he kept anything bad, sad or that could bother him far away from him.

"I was thinking about you telling me what you'd like to do. What's 'fun' for you?" He said that, maybe as an attempt to show her he wanted to know her a little better. Josh knew how it was like when it felt like no one understands you. He knew how it was like to be judged and he knew that maybe having someone that wants to know her true self would be good for her.

Someone that ignored the rumors? That sounded almost a lie in this town... Well, Josh liked innocent rumors. Rumors he actually had interest on were like the spot in the sports team line-up. That would actually give someone a chance to join the team... so it was a good rumor for someone. But harmful rumors like the ones about her, that kind of rumor made him sick.

by **MarticaNarcassa** on Fri Jul 04, 2008 1:58 pm

Fun? "Playing guitar, being at the park with my sister,.....surprisingly baking to..... yeah few interests. You have any ideas?" I was more curious to see what he likes.
~alright I won't be back until tomorrow. woo party party!~

by **Infinitus** on Fri Jul 04, 2008 2:14 pm

"I like the sound of electric guitars, I like to cook... I like to listen to metal songs on my room covered with Hammerfall and Nightwish posters. I like to watch sport games when I am bored too." He answered her question.

"It seems the baking thing and guitars are the things we have in common then." Josh kind of hoped she would also ask about him. The outcome was going just like he wanted. "Well, we could make a pie and bake some cookies..." He laughed a little, but it would some nice activity, he wouldn't mind that at all and for him at least, it would be actually fun.

by **MarticaNarcassa** on Fri Jul 04, 2008 9:40 pm

"Yeah but cooking involves going home. So I guess that's out. My guitar is at home. So I guess that's out to." It really sucked not knowing what to do. "Geez there really isn't much we can do at 10 in the morning. We could stalk McD's but they'd kick us out." Yet a cheap burger was sounding good. "My only other idea would be an arcade. I heard they have pool tables."
