Aiden Rogers's Story

Aiden, over the last two days, seeing as he had come much sooner then many other students, he had spent it painting and decorating his room. This kept his mind very far away from the fact that he was alone in this massive school out in the middle of the ocean severed off from the rest of the world. Now his room was covered, ceiling to floor, with paintings that reminded him that he wasn't alone. His bead wasn't the standard bed, it was round and stat in the middle of the room. Next to the window sat a low desk with a computer and his cell phone as well as his iPod and headphones. He had a few boxes left, but he felt that he didn't need to take out all of his art stuff and left it all in the boxes close to his desk.

Aiden took a few minutes to look at his work before reality hit him hard, he was alone. Aiden could feel a panic attack coming over him. He took a few breaths, picked put his iPod, slipped on his headphones and attempted to make him self deaf. Music did the trick. He had calmed down enough to realize that he could go find people. This trick wouldn't have worked if he hadn't taken his anti anxiety medication. He thought for a minute, where could he go where there was people? Library, it was to quite there. The dock maybe? Aiden decided the dock would be a good place to start.

Aiden sat and watched the people come and go. Turns out the docks was a great place to go. He enjoyed the sounds of people talking and bustling around calmed him down quite nicely. He sat with his bare feet just touching the water. He had removed his checkered van's from his feet in favor of placing his feet in the cool water. All of Aiden's hope of talking to someone failed as when he saw all the other students coming in pares and talking to them selves. His confidence was never really high and being shy and scared of being alone all came together. So here he sat on the edge of the dock listening to the hustle and bustle of the other people. Aiden adjusted his hair to that his short bangs feel in front of his red albino eyes. Aiden hoped that his shy demeanor wouldn't stop someone from talking to him.

Aiden looked down at him self. He had his grandfather's bomber jacket on. It was something his grandmother gave him in hopes it would boost his confidence. He had a pale light dusty blue t-shirt on underneath of the jacket. He also had a pare of black track pants that he had rolled up to his knees to keep them from getting wet. He hoped that he didn't look to out of place.

Juliet Vlo:

Juliet smiled. Ryan was oddly welcoming about all her little twitches and problems he was even trying to help her up. "Thank you..." She took his hand and stood up a little wobbly but fine. "And its fine... I am a little bit helpless... But... I'm trying not to be!" Huffing Juliet stood tall and proud but no matter how much she stood straighter she still was short compared to Ryan.

"I know it's kinda strange that I come too the gardens where there's pollen if I'm asthmatic... But I found that I prefer pollen over smog... Smog sometimes makes me collapse..." Juliet brushed herself off. "Hey... Ryan... I'm not sure if I should ask but... What's your phobia?" Juliet blinked her bright blue eyes. "It's fine if you don't wanna talk about it... Mine is Acousticophobia... It means I'm afraid of noise..." Juliet felt her cheeks grow hot in embarrassment. "It's silly I know but I can't go anywhere without something scaring me off..."

Romeo Vlo:

Romeo had walked out of the school with his guitar still on his back and headed down to the shore. He listened to the sound of waves and the wind carried a noise to him. It was the sound of people talking. More arrivals Romeo guessed. Romeo followed the shore until he saw the docks. People were arriving in pairs all except for one person. He looked about Juliet's age and very shy. Something about him made Romeo want to talk to him. Romeo walked over to the white haired boy and cleared his throat so as not to startle him. "Hey are you... Lost or just arriving? Cause... If you are I could help you?" Romeo smiled at him gently and fixed his wild blue hair.

Aiden jumped slightly at the sound of someone, a male, clear his throat before speaking to him. His smile was quite something. And his blue hair. Aiden itched to paint this very interesting character before him. Instead of stating this he pulled his feet out of the water, unrolled his pant legs and pulled on his socks and shoes. He stood up so that he wasn't so far from the ground, but Aiden still had to look up at this blue haired teen, that looked not much older then himself. Aiden stuffed his hands in his grandfathers over sized bomber jacket lest his fingers start twitching in want of painting. Aiden couldn't help but find that the male before him was attractive. He smile a shy smile back at the teen as well as moving his air out of his red eyes. He really didn't want to scare off this stranger, after all he was the first person to talk to Aiden sense his arrival. "I'm not lost, but thanks for asking anyway." Aiden found a sudden interest in his own shoes lest he get lost in the strangers deep blue-purple eyes. He scuffed the toe of his shoe on the wood planks of the dock before looking up again. Aiden could feel the confidence oozing off of this blue haired teen. Aiden felt a tickle of a blush come to his cheeks, as he caught him self starring, before looking down again. "Um.... I'm Adien..." He could help but rattle to him self for not introducing himself sooner.

Romeo smiled. So the shy boy was named Aiden. Smiling Romeo shifted. "Aiden then names. Romeo. And I'm glad your not lost but still if you need a thing just ask." Romeo shifted his guitar. Aiden was pretty cute and Romeo could tell he was shy which made the pale haired individual even cuter to Romeo. Fixing his blue hair Romeo smirked. "So if your not lost why are you down here? I mean the oceans nice but I find it pretty lonely to watch and enjoy alone." Romeo smiled softly showing the honesty behind his somewhat flirtatious words. Somewhat because he did not want to scare away the shy boy away.

Aiden shivered at the last few words spoken by Romeo. Aiden shook his head a little in attempt to scare off the thoughts of him being alone. Aiden kept his eyes on his shoes while in thought. Aiden had come to this school because of his fears. This boy must have as well, other wise what point was their coming to a island out in the middle of the ocean. Taking a deep breath Aiden spoke. "I, uh, actually came here to just be around people in some way. I have this fear of being alone ..... it gets pretty bad" As Aiden spoke his voice quietened. He never did get a chance to tell any of his old friends about his fears so telling Romeo, a person he had just met, about it seamed a little strange to him, but only by a little. Aiden fidgeted a little before looking up at Rome again smiling a very meek shy smile.

Romeo smiling gently at Aiden. "Ah sorry probably should not have mentioned you being alone then..." Romeo gave a sheepish smile. "I'm here cause I can't touch people at all... Sense I was 9 I could not even hug my mom..." He could tell Aiden was conflicted about telling Romeo about his phobia... But Romeo understood. "To be honest... I've never told anyone but my sister about my phobia really... It's kinda nice talking about it." Romeo smiled at Aiden. "So... You wanna walk with me Aiden that way I can maybe make a friend." Romeo put on his most charming smile and fidgeted.

Aiden looked up at Romeo, and smiled a smile of relief. "No it's okay, I take medication to keep simple things like that from getting to me... It must be hard not being able to touch the people close to you. I know what it's like not having told anyone, the only other person that knows about my fear, next to you, is my grandmother." Aiden could feel him self relaxing in the presence of Romeo, "I wouldn't mind walking, it would be nice if I could be your friend Romeo... you don't seam like a bad person at all." Aiden smiled back at Romeo. Perhaps he wouldn't be alone in this massive school after all.

Romeo Vlo:

Romeo smiled. "Then lets walk." Leading the way Romeo walked a little way back toward the school. "So Aiden what do you like about the school so far... I'd preferably like to know your favorite spots so I can maybe track you down again." Smirking playfully. Romeo made sure his playfulness came threw. He was still being cautious with how far he would go but Romeo decided to hint at his... attraction? To the shy boy. Maybe attraction was two strong a word. But really Romeo liked Aiden already. He was cute, shy, and friendly. The type of person Romeo felt oddly protective over...

Juliet Vlo:

Juliet's cheeks turned bright red in embarrassment when Ryan chuckled at her. She listened quietly as he gestured to the ocean. "Wait... If you have a phobia of water... why did they send you to school in the middle of the ocean then?" Juliet blinked at the thought and then 5 seconds to late realized that saying it in such a blunt manner might scare him a little. "Well hey don't worry!" Juliet quickly added. "If you ever need me to rescue you from the ocean or a puddle... I will... Tiny or not." Juliet smiled gently. "So long as you let me hide behind you when I get scared from a ruler falling to the floor."

Aiden smiled back at Romeo and fell in step with the taller boy. Aiden blushed a little at the smirk Romeo gave and looked down at his feet before replying. "For the most part I can be found where there will be lots of people, though I don't like the gym, or sports so you wont find me there. Other then that you could find me in the art room, or my dorm. What about you Romeo, where could I find you? The music room maybe?" Aiden had long before took notice to the guitar strapped to Romeo's back. It had peeked his interest, Aiden always found music calming no matter how upbeat or how loud it could be. Aiden also found him self enjoying the company of Romeo, and from what he was picking up from Romeo, so was he. Then again Aiden wasn't the best at reading people.

((OOC: sorry for delayed reply ive had writers block... ))

Juliet Vlo:

Juliet smiled happy to hear Ryan would look out for her if she did the same. There was a moment of silence before Ryan asked her a question. "Me... I like books and reading... I write a little but it's not really a hobby..." Juliet stopped and thought. Did she have a hobby? Well aside writing the only thing that came to mind was... "I like gardening... Even if I'm asthmatic... I like taking care of plants." Juliet smiled. "There quiet unlike the rest of the world..." She blinked. "Well... Your alright but that's cause you seem very nice...And not scary... Even though your really really tall..." Juliet blinked up at Ryan.

Romeo Vlo:

Romeo smiled. He'd have to keep an eye out for the white haired boy sense he liked hanging about it crowds. "Yeah the music room or my room... I'm not the best student so Library's and me don't get along... You might also find me running around the dock or something..." Romeo walked at a medium pace allowing Aiden to keep up.

Aiden found that he couldn't stop smiling now, Romeo had some kind of effect on Aiden. Aiden couldn't put at finger on it, but he started to think that he should stop smiling else his cheeks would hurt. Even around his grandmother Aiden didn't smile often. Aiden blushed a little and looked at his shoes after realizing that it was Romeo that made him smile. "I might stop by the music room some time then."

Romeo smirked. "I'd like that perhaps Il even play you a ballad then." Romeo gave a playful smile. "Where would you like to go Aiden we have the whole island so anywhere you desire I will escort you." Romeo walked next to Aiden like a protective guard but kept his composure relaxed so as not to frighten away Aiden's pretty smile Romeo was enjoying so much. He could tell it was one of those smiles that dint occur often. And sense he was managing to summon it to the surface he kinda hoped on keeping it there.

Aiden blushed at the thought of having Romeo play a ballad just for him. He never ever had someone say let alone play a ballad for him. "I've never heard a ballad before...." Aiden mumbled just over the tone of softly. Deciding that he didn't feel like mumbling he went on with where he would like to go, or in this case where he hadn't been because his lack-there-of confidence. "I am not sure ... I haven't been to any other places other then the docks, the art room or my room. Are their any other places that might have lots of people?" Aiden had to ask, it seamed like Romeo was more willing to venture the school then Aiden had been. Aiden didn't want to risk getting lost then end up being alone and then have everything fall apart. Aiden then had a idea "Maybe you could show me some places that might be interesting to paint?" Aiden was starting to run low on people and things to paint, after all he had spent the last two days painting his room.

Romeo walked next to Aiden. "Interesting to paint? Your wish Is my command Aiden." Smirking Romeo lead Aiden over to the open garden. He walked through it to a spot where the flowers gave a little window of the rolling green hill and the distant sea and in the distance the faint and slowly disappearing train tracks. "How's that for something to pain Aiden?" Smirking playfully Romeo admired the sight. He just hoped the while haired boy who love it as much as Romeo did.

Aiden gasped at the scene before him. It was amazing, perfect even. He would defiantly have to paint it, along with one of Romeo. A painting or Romeo would mean that Aiden would never let the painting see the light of day. He remembered how awkward people got once he had told them he had painted them. It scared them away more then anything. "This is... I am at a loss for words." Aiden finely manage to mumble out some words. It was a shame that Aiden was afraid to go to places with out people or with out someone. He was missing out on so much. "Thank you for showing me this. I don't think I would have found it other wise." Aiden's cheeks where really starting to hurt now, but he couldn't stop smiling. He was... happy. Very happy. Romeo made him happy... at this thought Aiden blushed. He decided to look at a flower rather then have Romeo see the rose red slowly creeping it's way onto his cheeks.

Romeo beamed seeing Aiden's smile. "Your really cute when you blush Aiden." Romeo remarked blatantly starring at the red eyed boy intently. To Romeo he really was cute. Breaking his blue eyes away Romeo smirked before striking a pose. "Hey maybe you could paint me sometime Aiden if you want il even let you see my glorious vampire white skin under this shirt nothing says attractive like a tall scrawny pale guy shirtless!" Romeo was putting allot of emphasis on making this playful but he could not help but wonder how cute and red his face would go if he really was shirtless bony and pale or not. Romeo chuckled playfully before looking back at the view. He'd stumbled upon it thanks to Juliet actually. She'd wandered from his sight and he found her staring off at it like some innocent and pure child who's eyes had not yet grown dim as the magic was purged from things this simple. Yet Romeo had to admit he was drawn to the sight as well... Maybe he and Juliet were both just as innocent? Ok probably not in all senses but for that yes...

( OOC; I am soooooo sorry for not being on for a while T^T I kind of had my net cut off and just just yeah. Please for give this poor soul?)
If it was possbile Aiden felt his cheeks heat up a little more at Romeo's comment. Aiden looked up to ask why Romeo thought he was cute, but saw Rome take a random pose that made him laugh a little. This made the red in his cheeks dimminish only slightly only to have it come back as Romeo stated that it would be okat to let Adien paint him... shirtless even. Adien had never had a modle pose in any way with out clothes. "I don't think I could paint you shirtless." I am more then sure you are very attractive with out a shirt. Aiden decided that some thoughts are best left in his head, but it didn't stop him from blushing. The look that came across Romeo's face as he looked back at the view was quite a site. Adien wanted to paint it, but he had left his cammera back in his room and their was no way his cellphone's cammera was worth of taking the picture.

Romeo turned and smiled at Aiden. "What now my blushy little friend?" Romeo teased admiring the red color of such a pale haired boys cheeks. Romeo was enjoying making Aiden blush. Most people who just become awkward but Aiden... No instead Aiden stuck around but got very red faced which made his adorable and even easier for Romeo to tease.
