Name: Claudia Busson
Age: 17
Grade: 12
Gender: female
Description: She has a shapely, woman's figure and she knows it. She has long, curly golden hair and feline blue eyes. She's extremely pretty.

History: Claudia wanted more. In France, her parents were so often away and she went off to a posh all-girls boarding school. Now, her parents are here for a while, so she went to this school. She acts like a vixen, but she's just lookig for some good friends-she has lots of love to give.
Other: Up for love in a classy sort of way-would like to be swept off her feet like in the old films.

***Claudia***

The black taxi pulled up at the school, ad I stared out the window at the impressive building, watching the students mill around, greeting eachother here and there. Here I was, late in the year as always. No dount these students would see me as some shiny new toy, coming from France in a fashionably late entrance.

The taxi stops, and I elegantly exit, politely thanking the kind taxi driver, who chatted to me all the way here. I smooth my curly hair, review my outfit in the car window-a fiftie's blue pokadot dress, yellow cardigan and red heeld pumps. Nice. I walk to the door, looking for admin.

God, I hope I make friends here...

Adam

Ton Ton left class half way through after being "publicly humiliated" as the teacher had said. Fred seamed impossibly quite, and Tony strangely talkative it seamed a bit of Alyse was copying on to him. I had a free period next I'd chosed not too take subjects like french, music and German. I was probably going to end up doing nothing but oh well it was better than work. "Mr Adam your work" The teacher said "yeah and" I said not really giving a shit "don't be smart with me kid and your work is the title the date and the learning objectives" I shrugged my shoulders inoccently "you were supposed to take a notes" a nerdy boy who was sitting behind me said
"thank you um er Albert".
"John sir" the boy said hurt "oh I took notes sir in my head, I have every thing you said in my head but in away that isn't as nice " the teacher sighed knowing he would regret asking what the notes were "what are your notes then" I smiled "well sir it was very simple it was simply I'm an asshole I'm an asshole I'm an asshole that was about it " there were a few laughs around the classroom "to the principles please" I shrugged again and walked out of the classroom. on my way I saw Ton Ton and decided to make amends "hey Leighton," she looked a bit like she was thinking christ he's back I'm sorry I think I, no I did come off as a weirdo and a freak, I just wanted to be friends, a little to eager to meet a new person maybe sorry, and can I call you Ton Ton? I won't if you don't want me to".

*taking a step back here sorry posted same time as you*

I'm just skipping to lunch. School days seem boring. XD Just as they are in real life...
I'm going to bring in Claudia, if that's all right. If it isn't then that's okay too.

Alyse~

She hadn't really found anyone to sit with. She was forced to sit on a bench in the courtyard alone. Some stupid jocks had pushed her out of her seat. Even the world's dirtiest looks could not force their stupid brains out of there. "You take up too much air!" Alyse had felt like saying.

She had just sat down, not really eating. She was coughing like crazy now, and sometimes-- after over exurtion, like in PE-- she felt light headed. She didn't feel like food. She saw May walk in, a tray of spagetti in her hand.

Uh-oh..., Alyse thought to herself, as she saw a smirk cross May's face. She saw May trip, then saw the spagetti go flying into the Jock's shirt. He must've been the one who had spiked her drink. Oh, poor May..., Alyse still said to herself when she thought about how bad of experiences May has had up until this school year. I sure hope that either May or Matt ask one another out. She could really do with a guy like Matt....

The talented actress! May stood up, saying sorry, but surely enough, there was trouble. Alyse witnessed the whole thing. Matt just pounding on the guy. As the jock fell to the ground, Alyse let out a whistle. "Hey Matt? You think you can get me my table back? They airheads took it!" She laughed, knowing Matt would probably give her some sarcastic expression, but whatever. She noted the stares she got.

Alyse groaned. Of course, she was now a freak. She put a hand on her music bag. Her violin was stuffed in there with little care. She had been so rusty in violin. She may as well quit.

Alyse scanned the tables. Tony wasn't there yet. She sighed. I think I'm getting in over my head. It was only a first date Alyse! Snap out of it!

There were the jocks, of course, the nerds, the emos and goths, the skaters-- who she thought she saw Ryan among-- the prodigies... the foreign exchange students... the plastics, the normals, the weirds, the creepers... every category. There were no band Geeks, however. That stunk. Alyse thought that she'd be shunned to hand with them for eternity. Now it looks like no one wanted to sit with her. Or that she just wasn't taking the initiative to find anyone. Dufus! Alyse thought to herself. That's what you are, a dufus

She heard a loud whistle. It came from a stupid jock. Some were even standing up. Sure enough, a very good-looking-- well, the jocks would consider her 'hot'-- stood at the front of the courtyard, staring, quite baffled, around herself. She had golden curls, a perfect figure, and red pumps. She looked so cool.

Alyse cursed under her breath. "Gosh... those girls just annoy me. They're so lucky!"

Sorry its long...

*welcome to boarding school Claudia. Im assuming we are now in Lunch?*

MATT

I probably smelled horrible after P.E. but I was still in good spirits. We had played soccer, and I thoroughly enjoyed making a fool out of everyone. I wasn't a ball hog, but I sat a few people down. I was going to stand in line when I saw May walking across the room towards the Jock table. I sighed, I could already see what would happen.

I hurried across the room but I was too late. May tripped and spilled her spaghetti all over his white shirt. His face got read instantly, "You bit-"

I interrupted him, "I think there must be some misunderstanding, she just tripped, I'll take it to the wash tonight if you want me too."

He shook his head, "No. She needs to pay for it, and I know just how she could do it..." His voice trailed off into laughter, and I was suddenly very protective.

"It was an accident, and Im not going to let you take advantage of her like that."

"What are you gonna do?" He sneered, "fight me?"

"If I have to."

He grinned and looked over his shoulder at his friends. When he looked back his fist was coming towards my face, but I wasn't there. I grabbed his arm and used his momentum to carry him forward, throwing him across the floor. He slid a little, then rushed at me. I sidestepped his punch and brought my elbow into his face, my knee stabbed into his groin. He dropped to the floor, moaning in pain, all of the other jocks just stared at me.

I grabbed me and drug her out of the lunchroom to the courtyard.

Hey LaRiena, we wrote at the same time, want me to go back and edit?

S'okay. I'll just edit the part about May walking away.

*Shoot. I posted at the same time as well...*

Leighton

As I was going to lunch, Adam caught up with me.
Oh no, not again. I silently said.
"Hey Leighton" He said with a smile.
He apologized for coming off as a weirdo and actually asked if it was ok if he called me Ton Ton. No one in a school enviroment has even come close to apologizing to me. I had to hand it to him.
"Um, no, it isn't. You can call me Leighton. I don't think we really introduced ourselves." I said, taking out my hand. He shook it and we walked towards the dining hall together.

Lunch was ok. It was obvious that everyone was seperated in their groups. The usual. I looked at the clearly emo group and almost found myself walking toward the table. I stopped myself when I remembered the promise I made to Dad. I was going to change. No more emo. As much as I wanted to be.

Then, I saw May "trip" and drop a plate of spaghetti on one of the jocks. Matt interfered and beat him up. They both went outside.

I sighed at the normal high school drama. How was I going to change if everyone around me is the same? The cliques and labels are still present. Guys beating up guys. Guys drooling over girls. Girls having boyfriends. Dances, stupid classes, stupid teachers.

How could I stay sane yet alone change? I had none of what everyone else had. Friends, a boyfriend, looks, nothing. Just a guitar and a voice that no one has heard.

"Hey, Leighton!" someone said.

(Even though its not much, I needed to add some "action" in here. Sometimes my posts are so boring.)

* guys, i know this is really dumb to put 14 pages in and all, but i am changing my guys name back to Nick.*

Nick~~

i sat at the table with the other skaters. We were talking about the moves we would do for the skate team tryouts on Friday. Of course i was one of the few sure to make the team me, James ( he will be a side character with Nick a lot by the way) and Sam.

"Spin ( that's nick's nickname) what are you gonna do for it." Twist ( James) asked me.

"no idea, but i'll figure it out on tryouts." i said with my usual calm. I then took out my physics homework. But after a few minutes knew i would never be able to do it here. Sop i got up and left. I looked around aimlessly for a bit until i came to.

( anyone can jump in here.)

Name: Kristine Daniels

Age: 15

Grade: 10

Gender: Female

Description: She has pixie-cut brown hair with sky-blue highlights. She has blue eyes, with a gray speck in one. She is 5’ 4” and slightly plump. She is always grinning at least, generally smiling.

Personality: She is constantly making jokes and laughing, even when the best thing to do is be quiet. She’s really tough and street-smart, but sometimes she likes to mentally collapse and relax. However, if she’s upset or scared, be warned, it’s for a really good reason.

History: She had been home schooled up until now and her newly single dad didn’t have the time to teach her himself, so she was sent to this school. (That’s all she would ever tell anybody, but not necessarily all there is…)

Other: She has a mental clock, so she can always tell what time it is and how long things take. She’s pyrophobic, which means she’s afraid of fire, but she’s only afraid of big and dangerous fires, not candles and such.


*******

Should I post in the SB “tomorrow”? Make Kristine a weirdly day late or something? I don’t really think it would make sense to post in the middle of the day, but that’s just me.

Yay! Tex, you're posting now! Our charries will be 'BFFs'. XD just kidding!

*Go ahead and post TexanWriter! I think it could happen, someone who comes in the middle of the day I mean. You can be the person who said "Hey Leighton!" though you would have to figure out a reason why you know my name. Maybe somebody tells you Leighton's new too and to talk to her?*

You guys stink. Just kidding! Seriously, i'm just kidding. The only reason I said that is because no one in any storybooks is posting! I'm so bored. Yes, my life consists of a fake reality now. I've really gotten better at writing I think in storybooks...

I'm taking the "Hey Leighton," okay?

Alyse~

Alyse felt so lonely... she was determined to find someone to sit with. She was as lost as ever. She saw Leighton walk in, loooking pretty lost...

"Hey Leighton!" Alyse jumped up and waved her arm in the air. Leighton glanced her way and-- hesitantly-- made her way through the crowds to Alyse. Alyse stood. "Come," Alyse smiled, "I'll go introduce you to my 'sort-of-new-friends'."

Alyse led Leighton around. There was [s]Ryan[/s]-- ahem-- Nick. He was looking around himself aimlessly. Alyse waved. "Hey Nick!" Nick looked up. "This is Leighton, my new room mate. Leighton, this is Nick!"

Leighton mumbled a 'hello' and Nick nodded his head. Okay... looks like that didn't turn out too well. The other guys at the table stared at the two girls, an eyebrow raised sketically. Gosh. Just look at the social standings! Developed already!

Alyse shook her head. "So... this is your skating group?" She tried starting conversation. It was to no avail. Leighton nor Nick was saying anything. Alyse dropped her head and heaved out a sigh. "Well, we're off to find a table. See ya," Alyse led Leighton around again.

This is an opening for anyone. They can yell or scream or crash into us or whatever.

~Rei

P.S.
SOMEONE POST! The wait it killing me.

Nick~~
I followed them.

"so what you guys going out for sport wise." i asked. "I'm going out for the skating team."

"there's a skating team here." Alyse asked.

"yeah, they also have a snowboard/ ski team and a surf team, i am already loving the school. Apart from the classes."

"they aren't that bad." Alyse said.

"no but the fact that I'm up a grade and in all the brain classes is annoying i know no one in any class, except English that is."

-------------------------

sorry i stopped strangely, but i can;t think of anything else to say.

Alyse~

"Be happy you're smart. I can't wait to see my father's reaction when he gets my report card...," Alyse groaned, just thinking about the yelling she would get if she got below eighty-percent. "So you're a grade ahead? That's... cool. If my dad saw you he'd say something like 'Take a lesson from that boy! He's so smart. How come you, my daughter, is stupid?'"

Alyse had no idea where she was going. Leighton was still kind of quiet. "Well, I'm going out for track and field, or course, maybe cross country. Haven't decided yet. If there's an equestrian team here-- which I highly doubt-- then I'll join. I also might try my luck at rugby!" Alyse laughed at the last part. Her in rugby?

She may be determined, yes, but definitely not able to handle getting a near-concussion every game.
