Boarding School

Matt~~

If I had any doubts as to whether or not this was May, they were gone now. I pulled back from the kiss and looked at her.

"I like the new look."

She laughed a little, "Thanks. Where'd all the anger go?"

I grimaced, "nowhere. But... I don't care. I don't care what happened." I said as I pulled her through the window. "I just want to know why you didn't call me or something. Anything."

She looked down, "My dad wouldn't let me", she looked up again, "He likes you, a lot, but I'm all he really has, he would do anything to protect me. Even if it meant hurting you. I only barely convinced him to let me come back to school. And I'm not even supposed to be here for another two months."

"Protecting from what?"

"From the family who shot me. It was a rival wine company. So, my dad mad it look like I was dead, and created a new identity for me, new name, new look, and new family..." she hesitated, "Sort of. Same people, but they are different too, only when they are in that role though."

"Sounds complicated."

She smiled her May smile and gave me another kiss. It felt weird to actually feel anything after such a long time of nothing.

When she pulled back I asked a question that had been bothering me for a while, "What are we going to do about all the others. They've missed you a lot."

"Well we cant tell them yet."

"I assumed so. Well," I sighed, "If thats the case, then we need to go somewhere where we cant be walked in on. It wouldn't be appropriate if the heartbroken Matt was with another girl so soon after May's death." I tried to be funny, but it just sounded flat and morbid to me. "See if you can keep up."

Then I jumped out the window.

Mike~~

After we finished out small snacks and game we left the bakery.

"So where to now. Your choice," I said hopping into the drivers seat.

"Um, I don't know," She said and her stomach rumbled.

"I'm guessing lunch then. You must really be hungry, you just ate," I said, "So know any places to eat?"

"Yeah there is a burger place across the street," She said and pointed to a diner.

"Then there we shall go," I told her and we walked over. I again paid, the price of being a gentleman.

I got a triple cheese burger with extra fries and an extra large ice tea, and then waited for Lei to order.

June/May~~

I followed Matt out at full speed and skipped the window sill with him. I went above him and followed him silently. He had gotten better.

"Ey you practiced when I was gone?"

"Alot actually"

We kept free running until we reached a roof, similar to the one on the main buildings roof, except without trees. I had never seen it and apparently Matt had.

"No one can find us here." he motioned to a bench surrounded by rose covered bushes.

I tottered behind him...

*sorry no clue what your planning rider*

*just talking actually*

We talked for hours until the sun was about to set. I stood up and told May to go. She jumped off the roof and ran off towards the dorm rooms. I waited a while then jumped down as well.

I didn't run back, I walked. It was strange the new turn my life had taken. I began to think about when she was still May. I searched my mind, yet I couldn't find one time where I had actually told her that I loved her. It killed me.

There were other things too. We'd have to be secrative. My parents couldnt even know.

I ran up the wall and grabbed my window sill and pulled myself into my room. I lay on my bed for a while listening to music, then I took out my phone and texted May's old number.

"This still work?"

After a while of no responce I remembered that we were all going to go to the movies tonight. I walked over to Mays old room and knocked. Alyse opened the door.

"Whats up?"

"Oh, I was just wondering if we were still going to the movies."

"yeah, but at ten."

"Oh... must have missed that earlier." I smiled and her eyes went a little wide.

"Did you just smile?"

"Umm... yeah, I think I did." It still felt weird on my face.

"Ok then, I'll see you at ten."

I was about to leave and then I saw June standing in May's room looking at me. I raised my eyebrow and walked out. Once I was in my room I locked the door, turned the music way up and threw myself onto my bed. Now I wait until ten.

*hope thats ok Alyse, used some dialogue*

June~~

Someone had found her out, at least it was Matt. She smiled and walked back into her room, or May's room. May was alive for a moment but now had to be put back were she belonged, in the back of June's mind.

There was a knock on the door and June's Apartment mate Alyse ran to open it. She had been teary eyed ever since June had gotten here and hadn't really talked to her. May's thoughts echoed through her mind about how Alyse was such a sweet friend to her.

The door opened to a smiling Matt, they talked for a while and Alyse shut the door with a sigh.

"that was weird" Alyse commented

"What was?"

"Matt smiling, he hasn't smiled since May di-" she choked.

"hey are you ok?" June ran over and hugged Alyse.

"I'm fine, remember movies at ten!" She ran back to her room.

"If you need anyone to talk to- I'm here!!" June called and smiled at her.

Alyse choked again and shut the door with a wide eyed nod.


"Back to Matt's room I guess." and at that June skipped the window sills once more.

Matt~~

I was still sleeping when someone dropped on top of me. I reacted instinctively. I flipped over and pushed the person off of me, so that I was on top of them. I still hadn't opened my eyes, so when I did I was shocked to see June laying under me.

"What are you doing here?"

"Surprising you."

"Oh... well then."

I flipped off of her and put my hands behind my head. "you goin to the movies tonight?"

"yeah. we'll have to sit apart."

"I know."

*Brain fart*

*okay, for info...i've wrote in this storybook till page 30+ and i had not posted it very well much after anannoying writer's block for about a week or two and i had to recheck my style.

* you have post 5 times, and your last post before 64 was 28 pages before. So that is a long time. And so you probably should have asked if it were still okay to jump in.

All I was saying is, that you have not post in awhile, so you should probably asked permission if you could hop back in to it, so
A) that you could get permission, when you virtually dropped out (two weeks of not posting gives that illusion, espiacally when you posted very little and with large gaps between them before that in small posts)
and
B) you would be able to know what was going on if allowed.

So thats what I am saying.So is rider is okay with you coming back I'm fine with it, but maybe you should not if you your posting is like it was before.

And I am done so even if you post something about this directed to me I will not answer back*

yeah rider is okay...i would just act as if i had a late enrolment...


* I stared blankly at my empty room putting my luggages on my bed. I remembered that when i came in, many people were staring at me. How long had i been out? A month or so, i do not know... so many things had happen and there is no way i could socialized. Ic ould be the emo lonely kid that no one speaks.

I giggled to the thought of that and the possibilty that it could happen. I stared at my mirror before i noticed a slight sound at the otehr room. Something is going on but i do not botehr to know who it is.

I began to change my clothes. I wonder what to wear? My blue dress would be fien but i had used it to travel. It was getting to evening and the only thing taht was a long sleeved was a t-shirt with a skull at the front.

I giggled again at the thought of my emo self and i had no choice but to wear it plus my jeans and my green cap that i so loved. No point in worrying now. I walked out and began to renew myself on what ahd happen here

*oh man no one is saving Maria*

*haha whoops. I'll have them come back to campus.*

Leighton

"Oh just some fries...medium." I said, smiling.

I wonder what Nick is doing, I thought while Mike paid.

We sat down at one of the tables once again though this time it was just me and him. It was kinda awkward to be eating at a diner with your boyfriend's brother.

"So....do you and Nick get along?" I said, trying to start a conversation.

"Ha, we do more than get along." Mike said, laughing as he told me all about Nick. From his perspective of course.

After we both finished up, Mike led me back to his Jeep and we went back on campus.

"So, I guess we're going to have to figure all this roommate stuff, huh?" Mike said.

"Yeah, I guess so."

I saw Nick up ahead as we made our way towards the dorms.

"You're off work!"

Nick~~

"Yeah, been off for a while. Tried to find you," I told Lei then saw Mike with her sipping an ice tea.

"Hey Nick, I'll leave you two alone," he said and walked away.

"So you and Mike," I said raising an eyebrow.

"I was giving Mike a tour of the campus, while you were gone, so that you wouldn't have to, so you could spend more time with me," She explained.

"Okay. Then let spend sometime together on Saturday, where ever you want to go," I told as we walked back to the dorms.

"good with me, now I am going to talk to Maria, need to get something from her, so bye," With that she took off.

I was about to go to my room when I thought to see Adam, so I walked over there instead.

June/May~~

We talked for a while and I lept out the windows again because we heard someone in the main room.

"See ya later." I whispered and he kissed me. I took the long route around and saw Maria in her room crying, in her hand an empty beer bottle.

"Oh my god..." I whispered under my breath and throttled myself off of the windowsill and into the kitchen window. I ran to the door and froze, I was June, Maria wouldn't talk to me about it. My ear pressed against the door to hear wet sobs. Lei walked through the main door of the apartment and looked at me strangely.

"June..? What are you doing?"

Oh crap

I smiled crookedly and motioned to the door. Lei put her own ear against the door and her eyes got wide. I reached for the knob and she whispered, "Let's Knock first."

Lei knocked and we heard Maria scream, "Go the Hell away!"

Opening the door slowly, it revealed Maria in a slumped position on the floor.

"Oh my god-" Lei started as we both went to prop her up.

"You wanna talk about it?" I offered as both me and Lei propped her up on the bed.

*iupi! I have something to write about*

Marianne

"I... Chad...and her... and a daughter," my tears where stealing my breath, so I couldn't speak properly. " And May... She should be here..."
I saw the other girl's eyes darken a bit.
"Oh, who are you anyway?" I asked confused.
"June. I'm new here," she said, flashing a smile back at me.
"Oh sorry" Good, now I've made a fool out of myself in front of people I didn't know. "I'm maria. Sorry for meeting you like this"
"It's okay"
My tears stopped running. As soon, as Lei saw I was ok she left. I didn't knew why she'd come there, and if she knew too, she forgot about it. June tagged along with her and I was left alone. The alcohol was coming up my brain and I went outside for some air. I lowered my head, not wanting to see anyone. I bumped into someone, that turned around.
"Sorry," I said. The sky as getting dark. I looked up to see who it was and regretted my action almost immediately. It was Chad. "Not so sorry anymore" I walked away, mad.
"Maria!" he called running after me. I continued walking, but he still came after me.

*sorry if this wasn't how you wanted it to go*

* here JC I'll bring Jazz in*

Mike~~

After I parted with Lei and Nick I began to realize that I like Lei. As wrong as it was, I did, but would I really do it. I mean sure I have stolen Nick's girls friends once or twice, but never on purpose. Knowing I shouldn't I put that thought away and went for a skate around campus. Skating always helped me clear my head, and luckily I had my bored in my car so I didn't have to go far.

It didn't take long though to make it disasters. One turn was all it took, and I had hit someone.

"Sorry," I told her and help the Hispanic girl up.

"No its okay, you didn't know I was there," She told me, "I'm Jazz by the way."

"Mike," I said and placed my hand behind ruffing up my hair, like I always did when a conversation felt awkward to me.
