Ruby Desiree Moore's Story

Ruby awoke to the bright sun shining through her curtains and shining on her eyes. She sighed and sat up in her bed, it faced her mirror so it gave her a way too close for comfort look at her morning look. Her blue eyes were naked and rimmed by long blonde lashes. She also examined her hair, it was thick and wavy. Ruby rolled out of bed and quickly stretched. She extended her long arms and touched her toes. She glanced at her roommates bed and noticed she had already left. She never saw much of her anyway. She was usually gone early. She walked to the bathroom and took a shower.

Ruby turned on her music and turned on "Girls up," by Belle Amie.
"Hold your girls up, put you chest out..." She sang sticking out her chest and swinging her hair seductively. She purred at her own reflection then laughed like a dope at the reaction. She pulled on a cute outfit. Well cute to her at least. She was well known for scandalously dressing. I mean she had a banging body so why not show it off?

She shut the door behind her once she was done and headed out. She waved at a few people before she headed into the cafeteria and saw her two favorite guys together. She quickly stopped by the counter and picked up a light ceaser salad.
"Hey there's the two sexiest guys I know," She said as she walked up to Warren and Vaughan. She ran a hand through Warrens hair and ruffled it for a moment before sitting down across from them.
"So what's cookin' good lookins?" She asked sticking a fork full of lettuce in her mouth. "BTdubs have you guys seen Val, I can't find her like anywhere." She said with a brief pout.

Ruby smirked as Warren said "Hello beautiful, how are you this lovely morning?" in a formal tone. She almost blushed but caught herself and pinned a pin straight strand of hair, which she meticulously straightened until the strands were pin straight and hung down her back perfectly. She was specific about her appearance like that. I mean she was no Malibu barbie but she always looked hot. Today she wore a more sexy Cali girl outfit as opposed to her rebel bohemian Cali look she was known for. Her outfit today was a denim bustier that pushed her already impressive cleavage to a ridiculously hot tempting amount. She paired with a tan jersey maxi skirt with a slit on the side that reached her upper thigh. She paired it with chunky 6' strappy sandals. Her hair was held together with a gold chain that hung loosely around her hair. She wore thick winged eyeliner with peach colored lips. She had to admit she looked hot.

As much as she hated to admit it she really wanted Warren to notice how sexy she looked today. It seemed more and more she and Elle were competing for his attention. She took a sip of her iced coffee, before pausing to lick her lips and was about to respond when she noticed the girl, Haven she thought her name was have orange juice poured on her. She soon realized as well that her companion was none other than Henry. She looked flustered however Henry was pissed. "Damn that sucks... I wouldn't wanna be her." She mumbled. She was so not getting in the good vs. evil brawl on the second day of school? Fuck that.

She looked back and saw Posy she quickly shot her, Matthias and Valentina a message:
To: Posy
Message: Hey Bitch Where the hell are you?!

To:Matthias
Message: You can try to hide if you want but I'm gonna come find you <3

To: Val
Message:Does nobody care about their best friends anymore?

She turned her attention back to Warren ho was obviously trying not to laugh. She wasn't sure if he was hiding it for her sake or so he wouldn't be a total ass. Either was she was happy he didn't let it out. "That’s not the kind of first impression you want." She heard him say.
"Yeah that like really sucked," She bit her lip and furrowed her brow "Um you guys don't think I had to help right?" She said before shrugging and offering Warren a bite of her sandwich since he looked dissatisfied with his "Want some?" She asked leaning toward him a little and conspicuously exposing her chest a little more.
She wasn't a slut or anything, she was just a little more confident about her body than most girls.

Posy was abruptly startled, her heart leaping into her throat until she laughed hoarsely to herself and dug her phone out of her back pocket. Looking at the message she'd received from Ruby she tilted her chair back from the table and looked around the cafeteria, her eyes finally finding the statuesque redhead she called her best friend. By the looks of things she was letting Warren know just what he was missing by not going ahead and just giving in instead of being hung up on that real C U Next Tuesday otherwise known as Elle. Guess you couldn't blame him. He obviously had a certain type of woman he preferred. Tall Ginges, good for him.

Still tilted back in her chair Posy lifted her thin arm, weighed down by numerous chunky bracelets and gaudy rings "I'm right here, bitch. Ain't you got eyes?" Posy called in her gravelly contralto. Pushing away from the table she gave a half wave and a nod to those who even noticed or cared that she was leaving and made her way over to Ruby.

"What's up, Buttercups?" Posy asked, as she slid in next to Vaughan. Leaning back in her chair she propped her feet, clad in heavy black boots, on the table and craned her neck to look at the other kids around her. A small grin briefly crossing her face as she caught Vaughan's eye and quickly looked away. What could she do, she liked him. A lot. Everyone did and he liked them right back. "What a way to start the day, right? It's not the first day of school without someone getting the bitch kicked out of them." The mellow teenager remarked lazily as she watched Avalyn begin to clean the floor like she was the maid. She didn't care about Avalyn one way or the other but she knew she was a stubborn chick. What the hell had that new girl done to provoke this kind of change?

Henry looked at Haven sheepishly, letting his hand drop back to his side. It felt like he was being chastised by one of his family. In a way he was, even hearing his old nickname evoked memories of the past for a split second. The outwardly happy go lucky kid didn't usually tell anyone about what was going on inside his head. Which lent credence to what other people said about him being a dumb jock. Henry hadn't even told Haven about his tragic experience. As far as he was concerned everyone had a past and to dwell on it didn't make much good sense. Guess that was why he dreamed about it all the time.

Watching Haven flee he stood awkwardly in the middle of the cafeteria, covered in orange juice and abandoned. "I meant like get out of here together. Strength in numbers." Whispered the seventeen year old to himself as he shrugged out of his blazer and stepped away from the mess that had once been his breakfast. With a sigh he did his best to walk away from the embarrassing moment. Watching Avalyn being marched back in to clean up the oatmeal carnage was another added layer of bizarre to add to his whole experience.

Nearly slipping and busting his face much as Philanie had, he recovered and by the time he plopped down with Carson and Genevieve his mood had turned incredibly sour. Sitting there with Orange Juice still dripping from his hair and his once crisp white t-shirt plastered to bits of his torso with orange liquid Henry threw his head back and groaned aloud "I fucking hate the first day of school!"





Jack leaned back into his chair, his smile leaving as he tilted his head in wonderment at the boy across from him. "You just said that...in my head. Right? I didn't see your lips move but I swear you answered me." I'm not crazy am I?" The boy asked, his thick brows knitting together in an attemtp to make sense of Samuel. He realized that there were all kinds of possibilites when it came to abilities, he supposed he just hadn't thought about this one yet. It was kind of fascinating, kind of scary, kinda strange.

With a look around, he licked his lips and leaned in again as if they were co-conspirators. "If you're telepathic it'll be that much easier to keep secrets then won't it?" Leaning further towards Samuel and letting his bright trademark grin over take his countenance. "Like, have you ever thought about test answers?" He finished, raising his eyebrows suggestively. With a small laugh he straightened in his seat and began to once again eat his breakfast. "So if you're the wolf, what does that make me?" Jack inquired, resuming the first bit of their conversation.





"Well excuse you too." Sally muttered as she was barely noticed by the man striding past her. She guessed she was pretty safe in thinking she'd merely bumped into a wall...again. Some would say that she had her head in the clouds, her father was always using it as an excuse for her legendary clumsiness. Some people were coordinated and others simply aren't and Sally just really wasn't.

Feeling instead as if it were her first day as a student Sally felt like crawling into a hole and going back to bed. This was just like out of her dreams, being in school and never being able to find where you're supposed to be or missing the bus or being stark naked in your geometry class. Taking a deep breath the english girl closed her eyes and tried to gather her thoughts. You can do this With a little shake of her shoulders she leaned down to retrieve the books she'd dropped and finally let a small smile play along her lips.

"Not like they can start class without me after all." She remarked brightly to herself, rising from the ground.







"On second thought I take that back." Elle said in amazement, her green eyes narrowing at the scene unfolding before her. Avalyn was nuisance, immature and stubborn so how in the world was this new girl with no history and no friends to back her up bring Ava to her knees? Literally. "I'd definitely take the girl, definitely." Elle said with a grin looking over at the two boys with a wink. "You know, if someone let me borrow a penis for awhile." She finished ridiculously, her long fingers tearing a part the muffin that had once been her breakfast.

It was then she caught sight of something that made her stomach twist and usually pretty mouth slip into a slight grimace. Ruby Moore practically crawling into Warren Ramirez's lap. As if she could expect no less from the girl that had somehow become her rival at the academy. That this wannabe would even throw herself at the guys that Elle was interested in. Now their relationship might be slightly unorganized and definitely not defined but Elle really liked the boy more than she'd ever let on to anyone. Not even to Rhine or Myra, and she definitely enjoyed his company and knew it was reciprocated.

"Poor Warren, having to settle for tap water when all he really wants is perrier." Elle remarked loudly to herself. Not caring if she was overheard. If he wanted a watered down version he was welcome to it.

Vaughan pushed his tray of food aside and took a moment to realize that he was lucky to have a good enough metabolism to beat off a 1000 calorie breakfast. About to mention the run that both him and Warren agreed to take once they were done eating was quickly uncared for as soon as Ruby walked in. She walked into the cafeteria and she was looking at both Vaughan and Warren. She moved gracefully to their table. She played with Warren's hair before sitting down and played the classic game of naughty eye contact with Vaughan. "So what's cookin' good lookins?" she had said, Warren did most of the talking, Vaughan trailed off for a moment, he was looking at the increase of people in the cafeteria and took note who was here and who was not.

Vaughan turned back to his table and noticed that Posy was heading this way. "Whats up sexy?" he said as she took the seat next to him. They exchanged looks with each other and Vaughan could definitely feel the attraction between himself and her. She was hot and there was a factor about her that appealed to Vaughan and he liked that part of her.

There was a loud crackle of laughter and Vaughan turned around to see that someone spilled there drink, words shot out like gunfire and the cause was Avalyn. The girl ran out crying, just minutes later Avalyn came through the cafeteria and was the one in the end cleaning the mess up. The commentary from both Warren and Posy was quite amusing though Vaughan himself did not have anything against Avalyn so he kept quiet.

Vaughan yawned, "Warren I'm going for that jog, I'm taking the forest route, so you know where to find me." Vaughan got up from his chair and towered over the table as he stretched back, his tank top was forced to pull back, the shirt itself was too small. His pelvic muscles curved inward diagonally downward on the sides making a beautiful V shape. He caught Ruby staring and he chuckled, "Who knows? Maybe if you're lucky you'll get to see more later." With a tug of his shirt and a wink to Ruby Vaughan left the cafeteria.

This tanktop was getting irritating. Only if I wasn't so insecure with my body Vaughan thought. Oh how he amused himself, he took his shirt off and he wasn't aware of his secret audience. The new girls surrounded themselves in a circle beside the staircase, they were giggling and laughing, blushing as they stared at Vaughan's topless body. Vaughan laughed to himself, he pushed the heavy front doors of Maldoy and was embraced by the heavy impact of fresh air. Vaughan moved into the direction of the trees and followed the trail. He considered the fact that Warren might join so he started with a light pace so that Warren could catch up. The scenery of the forest was getting bigger, Vaughan observed his surroundings, the property of Maldoy Academy was truly beautiful.

"Looks like all that exposed cleavage ran him off anyway." Elle replied to her friends, the corner of her mouth twitching into a small smile as she caught eyes with Warren and turned her full attention back to the table. Elle liked Warren a lot, they were actually pretty decent friends outside of their mutual attraction but it wasn't like she spent her nights pining away for him. She was a fairly popular person, at least amongst their set and she didn't often want for company. "Why would I leave anyway? When there are so many possibilities in front of me?" A smirking Elle teased bringing her cup of tea to her mouth hiding her grin from the rest of the table.

"I think you're idea is fantastic, Danilo. A party to celebrate the new term. Start it off right, drunken and debauched." She agreed with a nod of her head, coppery red hair tumbling forward over her shoulders. The scottish girl was well aware that if Danilo was involved in planning a party it had the capacity to become epic. The perfect place to play.

"I could use a drink." Her green eyes sending another withering glance in Ruby's direction one last time "You can count me in." Elle finished brightly, flashing an award winning smile at her friends.




Jack watched Samuel react nervously to Jack's attempt to flirt. Hoping he hadn't made Samuel uncomfortable the usually very open and direct boy breezed on to other topics. Realizing that they were both new Jack nodded and laughed lightly in appreciation. "Well if popularity was your goal you probably should have gotten up the moment I sat down. I didn't exactly draw people to me at my old school." He teased again although remembering when there was a time he didn't lack for friends. Before he was outed as a super freak, and even before then when he came out and suddenly he stopped being invited to parties. That kind of thing wasn't supposed to matter here right? Yet Jack had already seen that this place was just like any other school. Effing dangerous.

"And yeah, I'm new. Brand spanking even, my bus got here yesterday and it has definitely been quite the adjustment. That whole list thing, are you good or evil was insane right off the bat. I'm used to being told where my locker is and sent on my way." Jack replied absently as he picked at the rest of his food before looking up brightly at Samuel a smile flashing across his face. "At least we can be new together."

Ruby ran a hand through her hair in annoyance at Elle's voice. "Poor Warren, having to settle for tap water when all he really wants is perrier."
"Yeah but Perrier is for snobby ass bitches, and if I was you I'd be more careful who you call poor, especially since my family is rich. At least I'm not some wannabe annoying as bitch who thinks she's cool. Also Perrier can kiss my ass" She crooned over her shoulder. She winked at Posy and rolled her eyes, "I do hate annoying gingers,"

She started munching on her food as she heard Vaugn say "Warren I'm going for that jog, I'm taking the forest route, so you know where to find me."
She whistled at him as he flashed his sexy body. She bit her lip and tried to focus on her sandwich which suddenly couldn't fufill her hunger. She took a sip of water and waggled her eyebrows at Posy.
"Sorry lovelies I need to keep this body of mine though so I'm just going to go but I'll see you around." Warren said finally. She winked and said "Good you'll need to if you wanna catch up to girls like me." She purred teasingly as he left. She burst into a giggles and stood up.

"Anyway Posy, lets do something bad ass, I'm bored as hell. And seeing as neither of us is getting screwed, right now at least, lets go do something." She picked up her tray and chucked it in the trash as she heard Elle say "Looks like all that exposed cleavage ran him off anyway."
She snickered and said loud enough "At least I have some, nobody likes a girl with the body of a twelve year old." She loved exposing the fact that though she had a very sexual body and personality, Elle was baby faced and less developed.

She paused and blew Elle a kiss at the door as she walked outside. She stretched her arms and said "Wanna just chill in my dorm, I think we should get drunk tonight with the guys. Maybe Val can give us some little extra luck?" She said then flipped her hair "And what she can't do, Vodka can." She added with a wink.

Jack slid his now cold and thoroughly unappetizing breakfast to the side with a practiced flick of his wrist. The short, yet substantial boy exuded a natural grace due to his dextrous ability and years of training as a gymnast. With his perfect posture and complete inability to be clumsy every move Jack made seemed as though it was choreographed and he'd learned it painstakingly perfectly.

Arching his his eyebrows with mock suggestiveness Jack laughed lightly and scanned the room around them. " You think I'm pretty? Aw, I do enjoy a compliment but I dunno if that's all it takes." Jack replied his eyes coming to rest appraisingly on the boy sitting in front of him. He'd taken Samuel's comment as an invitation of a sort. Perhaps Samuel was attracted to him perhaps he was just secure enough in his masculinity to consider another boy attractive or he was fucking with Jack and his vanity. "I mean, I was as pretty at my old school and they treated me like I had the plague but thanks for your confidence, Samuel. Means the world." Jack said genuinely with a shrug. "I don't really need to be popular but a few friends would be nice I think." The boy finished somberly, lacing his long fingers together and his long lashes casting shadows on his cheeks as he looked down at his hands. Jack didn't like to admit it but the past year of isolation had taken it's toll on him. Being lonely sucked.

With a slight gasp Jack was once again caught off guard by the sound of his new friend's voice appearing in his head. It was kind of startling and strange but for some reason he wasn't scared. It wasn't as if he had anything to be ashamed of anymore if Samuel wanted to read his mind. " As long as we're not alone right?" He answered softly. "Good or evil...well I know that despite what they told me I don't feel particularly like a good guy." Looking up at his table mate he smiled gently. "So with your gift would it work in reverse? Say if I tried to think something really hard at you, would you pick it up? Sorry, just kind of curious...if you want I could always start doing some acrobatics for you? Keep it even."







With a resigned sigh Henry wandered to the shower to rid himself off the mess his clothes and whole day had become. He hadn't even been to his first class yet. As Henry re-showered he allowed his mind to wander, thinking about the fact that this was his fifth years at the academy and he had no other plans besides becoming a teacher. And then what? The usually stoic teenager thought, a scowl resting on his usually sunny face as he soaped his unnaturally unmarked body. Henry had no scars, no identifying marks he couldn't even get a tattoo if he wanted one. Besides a freckle here and there his skin was smooth, perfect and flawless. The complete opposite of his psyche which he held together with denial and determination. Something he kept to himself and something that had only been divulged to Mariska, the Headmaster and now Elle. Shaking away the memories that often plagued him Henry turned the now cooling water off.

Stepping out of the shower he quickly dried himself realizing that he'd spent entirely too long in the bathroom and hastily redressed himself in a blue plaid shirt which he half tucked into his his jeans before stuffing his feet into his converse and heading out the door. Running a hand through his still damp hair he slid his phone out of his pocket with the other and grinned for the first time since he'd been assaulted by juice. Turning in mid stride he tucked his phone back in the front pocket of his flannel and made his way to Kae's tree.

A party would be the perfect way to wipe the slate clean. Start new and hell, who didn't love a party? Half the fun was the planning...at least the way they did it Henry thought with a grin as he slipped unseen into the sanctuary of the willow tree to await the others.








Elle merely smiled her usual lopsided smirk as she listened to Ruby make a fool of herself. Everyone knew that class and money really had nothing to do with one another. Some people were just born without it, people like Ruby. Elle's grin broadened as she thought of her own title that she would some day receive. No matter how rich or or poor the Scottish girl maybe she'd still be called a Lady which is more than she could say for her loud mouthed rival. Letting her attention drift back to her own table as she listened to the desperate mess that was Ruby Moore leave the cafeteria, her simple stoner friend Posy meandering after her. Elle wasn't ashamed of her body, she was tall, thin and what you would call willowy. Pale, delicate and classically beautiful. There was nothing that the other ginger could say to make Elle think otherwise.

"Why Rhine, I think you're the only girl that could handle me." Elle laughed, Warren and Ruby forgotten for now as her thoughts turned to talk of parties. Apparently they weren't the only group discussing such things as Kaelana's irritating screech cut through the cafeteria. Cringing slightly the redheaded teenager scowled in the direction of another girl she wished would go die in a fire. The Hulk had decided in all of her Queen Bee gusto to summon whom she deemed worthy. Elle knew her name wouldn't be on the invite list but if Francesco, Danilo or Arturo had any say she knew she'd be in attendance one way or another.

Crossing her arms and leaning back in her chair she rolled her large green eyes and tried to catch Rhine's gaze. Their mutual hatred for Kaelana had been quite the bonding agent for their relationship. "It didn't take long for the Jolly Green Giant to assert her dominance over the school. It never fails." Elle finished with a hint of envy tinging her lilting Scottish accent. Looking over at the two boys who were at her table she managed to smile brightly. "I assume you're both going to go and plan this party so hopefully it won't be incredibly lame. Just make sure we're on the invite list."










Posy listened vaguely to Warren and Vaughan and watched silently as they left, a small grin stealing across her face. They weren't discrete about it and Posy didn't think one way or the other about it save for the fact that it proved Vaughan's ability to seduce anyone anytime...even before breakfast. But not her, Nope, never her. She thought with steely reserve and a nod to herself. She was a naturally contrary girl and if you told her the sky was blue she'd insist it was green. So if everyone wanted a piece of Vaughan...well then that'd be the last thing she'd ever let herself desire. Even though she fought it tooth and nail. Rebellious much? Yes.

Her blue eyes still scanning the room she caught sight of Brad and smiled lazily at him casually waving in his direction knowing that he could easily flip her off, not acknowledge her or in the best case scenario she might get a head nod. The pink haired girl understood that even though he was bitter and caustic and sometimes mean that it wasn't something he could necessarily control. It was as if he was an open wound and everyone's raw emotions were like salt. Heavy trip that was.

Turning her attention back to Ruby and Elle's little conversation she couldn't help but to roll her eyes and sigh, an indulgent smirk crossing her face as she looked over at her best friend. "You two are starting in at it all ready? You haven't even had your Wheaties yet." Posy remarked distractedly as she rose, lifting her arms to the sky in another cat-like stretch as she began to follow Ruby outside. Posy had already decided she wasn't going to class today anyway. The unmotivated teen knew that she had to be careful having had to repeat her first two years due to lack of participation, tardiness, skipping and sleeping in class. It wasn't like she was dumb. Not really, she just had a very set list of interests that intrigued her and everything else kind of fell by the wayside.

Before she could answer Ruby's question she heard Kae's summons and knew immediately what she'd be doing in moment's time. "I know a place where all of those things are possible and more!" Posy said a bit maniacally. "Party!" She called out randomly as she fell in line behind Kaelana and Arturo, motioning for Ruby to follow along. The tall, strangely dressed girl knew that they'd end up at the willow tree to discuss tonight's details while Posy rolled j's for Kaelana to share with the group.

Ruby smiled as Posy said "I know a place where all of those things are possible and more!" She could see a wicked twinkle in Posy's eyes. "Party!" Her pink haired best friend called out randomly before suddenly following Kaelana and Arturo. She motioned for Ruby to join and ruby following compliantly, shrugging her freckled thin arms. She followed the group and lifted her arms in the air and whining her hips to the beat in her head.

She followed them to the willow tree. But quickly pulled out her phone and quickly typed up a text.
To: Warren
Message: We're skipping class by the willow tree if you want to ya know... hang out ;)

She bit her lip as she followed her friends. "Hey we soo need to throw a lingerie party this year." She said smiling mysteriously. She shook her hair and giggled."Kidding, sorta."

Ruby was well known for her partying. She was definitely a party girl. Not that she was like over the top but she threw some damned good parties. She smiled at Posy and tossed her head back and smiled. "But I do think we need killer music, and I could get us the drinks."

I'm not really into this whole, "school" thing. Dakota never liked school, but he was good at it. Skipping classes, detention so many times he had lost track, not going because there was something better to do, like sleep. And he got straight As, the only B he had ever gotten was in English because he refused to write an essay on why smoking was bad for the world. Usually, he loved writing essays, but he wasn't about to be a hypocrite and write an essay about why something he does was bad. Sort of amusing, he didn't want to be bad, but since he found out he was Evil's bitch, he'd started noticing it.

I hate stereotypes. Who said that anyone who got good grades was a nerd? Or whoever smoked was going to go bald and get fat by thirty? If you had the power Kota had, you would see that he was still very, very hot in the future. Of course he knew that he was quite attractive now too, but this was more about the parties and the fights and flirting, relationships sucked.

Speaking of relationships, mi dios. This girl is approaching him now, probably one of the ones he recently boned and ditched. She looks angry, that's just great. The boy turned and went in the opposite direction, heading away from the chica loca. That was when he spotted his partner in crime, Miss Posy Llewellyn. With the adorable smirk that he was almost always seen wearing, he jogged over to her and draped his arm around her shoulders before placing a loud kiss on her cheek. "Hola sexy," he said, eyes flicking over the rest of the people in her group. None of them were really "friends" with Kota, but he didn't think any of them hated him, not a lot at least. "What's my little alborotador doing?"

With an impish grin still spread across his face Jack took a seat near the middle of the classroom. No need to look eager but it also didn't look like there'd be a lot of competition for seats he thought as he noticed how few first years there seemed to be. Opening his notebook and pulling out a pen the naturally energetic boy began to feel nervous. Actually any time Jack had to sit still for any amount of time he felt nervous. If it was up to him he'd constantly be on the move whether it be in the gym, on the dance floor or wherever he might end up depending upon the company.

Beginning to nervously tap his pen against the blank sheet of paper Jack did his best not to laugh aloud and look back at Samuel as the other boy's voice once again drifted through his mind unbidden. With a slight head nod he remained facing forward and leaned back in his chair. Suddenly not as nervous about the first day of class as he was before, perhaps due to the open flirtation transpiring between him and Samuel. Which is literally all in my head. Jack thought curiously. There would most definitely come a time for experimentation and just maybe they'd get around to testing out their abilities too.






Henry watched lazily as people began to show up obviously summoned here just like he was. He wasn't worried about being late to class, one of the perks of working towards becoming a teacher. Henry would have to show up later and assist with class but for now he was free. With a wave, a grin or a call he greeted everyone in his usual sunny, open manner his previous worries tucked away for the time being. Something that Augustus and Mariska both had been telling him wasn't a permanent solution and might actually cause more harm than good in the long run. Yet to the stubborn teenager things seemed pretty simple. Run. Keep Running. Don't Stop. Never Look Back.

With a wide smile he tended to save for the people closest to him he shook his hair back from his tanned face and looked up at Haven as she joined him. Involuntarily reacting to her poke he laughed and leaned over to nudge her with his shoulder. Leaning back and resting his elbows on the ground he crossed his feet and regarded his best friend silently for a second.

"Haven, I'm glad you're here." Henry said genuinely glad to see that it looked like she felt better. "Things should definitely be interesting....starting right about now." He trailed off with a laugh as he heard the first sounds of Posy and knew that the party planners were close




Elle's smile dissipated as she watched the large group of laughing, chattering kids leave the classroom to presumably plan a party. Elle hated Kaelana, she made no bones about it and it irked her to see everyone follow her around as if they had no original thought in their head. She detested being excluded and she felt Kaelana took every opportunity to do so though Elle counted herself lucky to not be an actual target of the girl's much like Rhine was.

Turning towards her friend she heard her own frustrations echoed back at her. If Elle gravely disliked Kaelana it was a vile hatred that Rhine held for the girl who controlled nature. Silently listening and watching to her friend react to Danilo's flippancy she pursed her usually pouty lips. Danilo might be able to say this or that about girls and their behavior towards each other, but he didn't get it. The vying for power, the fact that at any moment the whole world could be turned against you because you wore or said or did the wrong thing. Maybe for some girls it didn't matter, maybe they liked being overlooked and staying home on saturday nights watching movies alone. Elle wasn't that kind of girl.

"Because they all see what they want to see." Elle replied honestly and flatly. "Until we show them otherwise." She sighed with resignation as she rose from the table and gathered her things. "We'll think of something, we always do." Elle said softly as she pulled kleenex from her purse and offered them to Rhine.






A raucous burst of laughter burst from Posy as she entertained the notion of a lingerie party. Ruby could definitely get away with it, Posy had actually seen the girl buy actual lingerie before. Her personal idea of sexy nightwear was no nightwear at all so she didn't really get the point but if Ruby was throwing it it'd definitely be entertaining at the very least. Not like Posy could exactly fill any of it out anyway, while her best friend called Elle out for having a less developed body the tall, lanky girl couldn't help but to look at her own body which was all angles and lines and think it ridiculous. People were people, all different shapes, sizes, colors, and dispositions. Such was life.

While her attention was distracted Danilo slipped in beside her and slung his arm around her thin shoulder and attempted what Posy liked to think of as a mind meld. Slipping her arm around his waist she squeezed playfully before releasing him and grinned widely at her newly arrived friend. " Ruby says she's got booze covered, we're basically a troupe of traveling musicians at this school and God save us all if you can't help us start a bonfire." The carefree girl said with a waggle of her eyebrows as she caught sight of Kota in her peripheral vision.

Sliding her arm around the person that probably understood her the best she lifted her cheek to receive the kiss she always received. Posy rested her head on his shoulder as they walked, strands of flyaway pink and platinum fanning across Dakota's chest as she giggled lowly. "I like how I'm the troublemaker but that girl back there would probably say differently." She was well aware that the two of them together made quite the pair. They looked like those kids that got followed around department stores...well they were those kids. Half the student body thought they were dating the other half were afraid to talk to them especially since the whole list thing got out. There was nothing wrong with just not giving a fuck, she was quite fine with it, it didn't make her bad or unapproachable.

"We are on our way to plan a most epic party and you're assistance is greatly needed. I think I've gone rusty." She replied randomly as she lifted her head to look at the small group assembling near the willow tree. "We should take roll, yeah?" Posy called out flippantly to Kaelana as she slipped in amongst the others.








Sally let out a huge sigh of relief as she pushed through the door that led to her classroom. With a quick look around she realized she was the first arrival and let out a little yelp of excitement. The last thing she wanted to be on her very first day was late. What kind of teacher let a bunch of teenagers beat them to class anyway? Letting the few books she'd brought with her slide onto what was now her desk, Sally began to move around the room silently. Opening shades, writing her name on the blackboard, blowing dust from the full size skeleton who'd she'd probably name before the day was through and anxiously awaiting the arrival of her first class.

With a slight grimace to herself to the usually soft-spoken english girl plopped down behind her desk and smoothed the skirt of her dress. Her first class would apparently be the fourth years, the kids who'd been here the longest and to be perfectly honest the ones that scared her the most. It was a bizarre feeling to teach people who were only ten years younger than yourself, not to mention the fact that Sally looked as though she'd fit right in with the student body. Sally straightened her shoulders and rose from her desk, too jittery with nerves to sit still for long.

Crossing her arms in front of her she turned her attention towards the window overlooking the grounds of the massive estate. Crossing her arms Sally leaned her head against the frame of the window momentarily losing herself in thought and once again wondering when all the dark clouds had decided to move in. With a small smile which brought out her dimples she silently laughed to herself. All this doom and gloom outside could only be a sign that today would be perfect...well okay, maybe not a complete and total disaster.

Ruby
smirked as her phone buzzed in her purse. She felt her eyes light up as she read Warrens response.
To: Ruby <3
Message: Sorry babe I would love to but I don't think I am in the mood for party planning right now. Maybe some other time, though, if you really want to hang out then you can come up to my dorm

She paused and smiled, showing off her pearl white teeth. She glanced at Posy and bit her lip. She did want to go hang out with Warren but at the risk of ditching her best friend? She didn't have to answer since the suave and always sexy Dakota slung his arm around Posy. "Hola sexy," He said making Ruby's eyebrows shoot up in curiosity. She turned to Posy and mouthed "Where have you been hiding him?"


She was about to ask about him when Posy said " Ruby says she's got booze covered, we're basically a troupe of traveling musicians at this school and God save us all if you can't help us start a bonfire." She also heard Posy mention something about being rusty and roll call but she wasn't really paying attention. She honestly was thinking of one thing right now and it had nothing to do with a party. Well maybe a party of two.

Ruby waggled her eyes at Posy as she and Dakota cozied up to each other and were starting their own conversation. As she was bout to announce her leaving to Posy she suddenly felt two hands cover her eyes. “ Guess who?” a giggling voice asked.
"Hmmmm Orlando Bloom?" She said teasingly before lifting her friends hands and doing a terrible impression of surprise. "Val! I would have never guessed." She added as she hugged her best friend.

Before she forgot she sent a quick text to Warren:
To: Warren <3
Message: K, I'm on my way.

She smiled at Val before holding up her hands and putting them in praying position. "I would so love to hang out but I gotta go," She widened her already bright eyes and stuck out her bottom lip, making the epitome of a puppy dog face and said "Forgive me?"

She blew a kiss to Val as she backed away and headed for Warrens dorm. She quickly walked well more like speed walking, but she walked more or less to his dorm. She positioned herself in his doorway and loosened her auburn curls which were cascading down her back in a messy but sexy way and knocked on the door.

Augustus could not find Sally and wondered where she went off too. Augustus felt flustered and uneasy, the noise from the cafeteria had stopped meaning students were off doing hell-knows-what. Augustus rushed to his office, It was time to put school into session. He opened the door to his office and flicked on the PA which was audible through the whole school and anyone who was on school grounds.

"This is your headmaster speaking, I advise all students to get ready for their first period class because school starts in only 10 minutes. Thank you and I hope you all have a nice day."

Augustus went straight to his history classroom. The blinds were closed, giving the room a gloomy vibe. He opened the blinds releasing light, the room now felt bright and joyful. To his desk Augustus organized what he needed for the day and sat at his desk and began to phase through hundreds of thoughts in a quick moment of solitude. Augustus had a ridiculous amount of patience and did what he always would do to kill time. He went in the backroom of the class and went through his shelves of journals. He picked one up and began to flip through the pages. A flash of memories impacted him every time he flipped to the next page. The past seemed nebulous almost but reading his historic literature made him remember.

As soon as Vaughan's I-pod playlist played its final song he knew that his imaginary audition for American Idol was coming to a end and so that meant his singing was finally coming to a finish. Vaughan closed the faucet and pulled back the shower curtain to get a look at the time. The steamy fog that spiraled around in the bathroom made it hard to determine what the time was. Vaughan's first class was Health and that class started at 9:09, meaning he still had 19 minutes left to do whatever. Vaughan got out of the shower and dried off, he knew if he spent anymore time in the bathroom that he would spend it looking himself in the mirror. Vaughan scrambled through his drawers and finally found something that he wanted to wear. He put on a loose brown plaid shirt and beige cargo shorts. He was out of his dorm as soon as he could find his favorite designer shoes.

Walking through the hallway Vaughan caught sight of Koen who was pacing himself rather quickly. "Koen!" Vaughan called after him, simply calling his name rattled the pits of Vaughan's stomach and Vaughan knew that his feelings for Koen were suddenly working up.

Vaughan is simply over-emotional and love you can say is a enhanced emotion that Vaughan possesses. The slightest sign that you show Vaughan that you are interested in him, he begins to grow keen towards you. Though the irony of it all is that he doesn't know how to accept love, he's scared rather. Koen, Myra and Karen do this thing that Vaughan really cannot explain. Vaughan finds himself acting like his true-self around them and that frightens Vaughan because he isn't really use to his true-self.

Vaughan's eyes lighted, "why are you in such a hurry? Class doesn't start till another 13 minutes," Vaughan said gesturing to his watch. "I wish I was back to being a second year, you have Battle first period." Vaughan's eyes wandered, he is usually the smooth talker but he was really running out of things to say and felt that he was the one doing most of the talking. Minutes later they both headed downstairs and the PA buzzed. Augustus spoke,

"This is your headmaster speaking, I advise all students to get ready for their first period class because school starts in only 10 minutes. Thank you and I hope you all have a nice day."

"I need to get to Health Koen, have fun in Battle class." Vaughan gave the most charming smile he could present before walking away and teleporting to his dorm to retrieve his textbooks. The convenience of Vaughan's ability is that he's punctual and will never be late for class. He teleported himself to his home room where Ms. Winters sat at her desk.
