Kaelana Mãe Natureza's Story

Donovan MatthewsDonovan shot out of bed as his alarm went off for the third time. ”Kae’s gonna kill me.” He repeated as he got dressed. He split on his vintage spider man tee, his slightly baggy skinny jeans - an oxymoron really but did he care? Nope.-, A red plaid shirt top his tee, his high top converses and his favorite green beanie. He very much liked the way he looked in hats. Some people had shoes, he had hats. He grabbed his backpack up quickly. He had a lot of studying to do but he’ll cram all that in later, the last thing he wanted to do was piss of Kae, she was hot and her temperament was just as fiery. Just as he was about to run out the door, his wrist watch alarm went off. ”Damn it all to hell.” He groaned and went back into his room. He set down his backpack, opened it and pulled out a black case. He unzipped it and pulled out the glucose meter.He pricked his finger, without so much as a breath, and pressed the meter to his bleeding finger. Once the blood was being read, He sucked the small hole in his finger and waited. After a moment. He got his results as sighed. 13.7. Not good. He put the meter away and grabbed the insulin pen. He rolled up his pant leg and stuck the needle into his thigh and pressed the plunger. He waited a moment, shook his leg to get the blood flowing and then proceeded to pack up his stuff and slung his backpack over his shoulder making a beeline toward the Titan of Tunes. I ran down the seemingly endless corridors and heard Kae’s powerful voice. He stopped, slid and stumbling into a wall before straightening himself and walking in casually, just as she finished with talking with a few others. ”What up!” He said and smiled at the group. ”What I miss?”

OOC: Randi is coming soon

Aiden was more than pleased to hear that his new favorite teacher happened to teach his favorite class. He grinned broadly, already looking forward to the opportunity to spend some quality time with the beautiful professor. "No way, like my best class! We should- uh..." He noticed then that Ms. Mcquilen was once again not looking at him, but at the head bossman nearby. Seriously? How was he that distracting that she couldn't keep her eyes off him? Sure, he was handsome enough, but come on. She was like a schoolgirl with a crush. Normally girls looked at him like that.

But Aiden was himself distracted soon after by the arrival of a voice he knew well from last summer, down at the bars of Miami beach where he technically wasn't allowed to be in the first place. Kaelana Mãe Natureza came striding down the cafeteria, singing Call Me by Blondie at the top of her voice (and doing a lovely job of it) as she made her way toward them. Just as she finished her song she even blew Aiden a kiss. He caught it on two fingers and planted a kiss of his own on them. Just like he remembered her. She spoke up right after. “You know the only way I'll stop stealing your show is if you tryout for the Titans. So I'm going to see you both at tryouts, right?” she said, looking between him and Jessie. "So I'm going to see you both at tryouts, right?"

Aiden gave her a thumbs-up. "Just name the when and where, you know I'll be there." He paused, a rare frown creasing his features. "Eh, not my best work. I'll come up with something better for tryouts." And then it vanished like clouds passing the sun, leaving his customary smile to once again light up the room.

Unfortunately Jessie took that moment to announce her intent to do no such thing, despite her wonderful singing voice. "Well that sound great Aiden. You should join the Acapella group or tryout for one of the art groups if you like singing that much. Oh yeah, never gave you that schedule. Here's the first year schedule." She produced from somewhere in a pocket of hers a slip of yellow paper which Aiden accepted curiously, reading through it to see what the day had in store for him. "You've got English first up. I'm in my second year so I've got battle instead."

"Alright," he muttered to himself, "English, not so bad. I can do English- Wait, there's a Battle class?" He looked up to find that Jessie was leaving. "Wait, what's this about a Battle class? Do I have to hit things? I'm a lover, not a fighter."

But nobody seemed in the mood to tell him as at that point Ariana spoke up again, apparently over her brief bout of Headman-related daydreams. "You should be heading to class as well, Mr. Dyre," she told him before glaring at her boss. "As should you, Professor Caydon." Wait, so the guy in charge also taught a class? Huh. Must have a teacher shortage.

As others around the cafeteria finished up, Aiden inhaled the last few morsels on his several trays of food, stopped to check he didn't have anything caught in his teeth and smiled at Kaelana, the only one still here. "I should probably mention that twenty minutes ago I was wandering around the halls completely lost and I never actually found a map. I could use a beautiful guide to show me around the school."

“I teach theatre arts. You know, singing dancing, acting... The fun things people like doing in school not like history and all that boring stuff.” Ariana explained jovially, swiping a smirk at Eric. Lowering his head slightly he grinned, Touché. The glancing attention amongst the pawing teens was an art, Eric decided; though he edgily noticed a certain chef’s glare from the serving counter.

“As should you, Professor Caydon.” Ariana was looking to him again, though Eric had been momentarily distracted again by the chef glaring at him from the other side of the service counter, and as a result Eric missed the previous undirected words that explained what he was supposed to “should” do. He smiled almost uneasily, filled with concern. I’ve forgotten something, haven’t I? Eric stood mimicking several others around, pushing his chair back, still clutching what remained of his orange.
Aiden beautifully interjected Eric’s thoughts "I should probably mention that twenty minutes ago I was wandering around the halls completely lost and I never actually found a map. I could use a beautiful guide to show me around the school." The Academy’s bell unfortunately overlaid the end of Aiden’s plea after the word “beautiful”.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriing!

”English!” Eric exclaimed in relief letting out a chuckle, ”I’m gonna need a better system then just attempting to remember these things… Besides your prompts that is,” Eric grinned thankfully. Note to self: Find suitable English teacher.
He turned to look at Aiden, ”Dyre, next time specify "female", you’re with me it seems; aren’t you the lucky guy today.” The side of Eric's mouth raised up into a smirk glancing back to Ariana who it seem was on the move as well.
”It was nice, Ariana,” Eric said in all serious, ”Seeing you at the start of the first day.” And with the pleasantries concluded Eric moved to exit the canteen Please tell me Qadira's ceased her death stare, Eric checked in his peripherals noticing the chef hadn't budged. If she had powers Qadria would definitely be cyclops, I can literally feel the back of my head melting!

The hallway was a bustle, the first day meant the students were all super-charged and nervous as well as mostly lost; Eric paused and raised his voice, "Students!" The horde slowed as some stopped, Eric shouted again, ”Students, new and old,” he continued as most of the remaining nearby students took notice, ”Good luck with your first day here or back; just a slight heads up, most of the classes have changed room the prevous year - first years with me - that is all.”
The silence erupted as a lot of the older students cursed, it amused Eric infinitely to keep his students on their toes but in truth the process leveled the playing field somewhat for first years and gave them all a mind-bending task to engage their minds. First room's free first years, Eric mused whilst navigating the corridors.

Second note to self: Find English teacher, or is that still the first note... Make it first and second. One of Eric's eyes squinted at the chalkboard in the room, the board read:

It was in bold and squiffy writing, My handwriting is a bomb. The majority of the chairs were empty, except Aiden who had nipped around Eric, seated himself and was already copying out the module heading. A few students that had followed after the speech start filtering in moments later. Now... Where did I put the chalk?

And of course even that hope had to be crushed. Aiden closed his eyes and slowly exhaled, just a bit annoyed. "Rain check, then, gorgeous," he said, rolling his eyes and smiling at Kaelana despite his exasperation. "We gotta catch up, I haven't seen you in like a month. Looking forward to a bit of quality time." He paused a moment for her to comeback to the obvious flirt, then carried on. "I can't wait to tryout for - you said Titans, right? Like that cartoon? Look me up after class and I'll be all over that."

After the goodbyes were all done, Aiden caught up with the Headman and the mob of first-years he was leading. They hadn't gotten so far he'd lost sight of them, so moving faster than those slowpokes was a piece of cake. He couldn't help but remark at the bossman "You know, Professor, at a certain point you're just being a dick." Rob him of a prime opportunity to spend time with a hot girl? Not cool. Do it on his first day at school? Definitely not cool. Do it twice? Now he's just a dick.

Once they got to the classroom Aiden zipped in to grab a seat next to the window, near the back of the classroom, before anyone else could get to it. It offered a great view of the grounds but was shaded from the sun by a large tree not far away. Much more slowly he got out his books and papers and crud like that, boredom already seeping in at the thought of the class ahead. He noticed the teacher had written something on the board in flowy, flowery handwriting that was kind of hard to make out... In the end he just shrugged and decided not to bother. Instead he began drawing dinosaurs - objectively he knew his drawing was awful, with the lines all wobbly and uneven and everything the wrong size, but dinosaurs. And he liked drawing. And dude, dinosaurs.

Hopefully someone would come by soon and relieve him of the boredom that was prompting this behavior in the first place. Ideally a hot, female someone, but anyone interesting and fun would be nice.
