Young Writers Society

-Kristine-

I fumbled with the room key. I was supposed to be dorming with... oh, some girls or another. I don't keep up with names all that much. Once I had the door unlockde and my bags picked up I heard a "Hey!" from down the hall.

**************

Sorry, I've had a touch of writer's block lately. the "Hey!" can be anyone, or one of my roomies. Still don't know who that is...

Alyse~

Alyse saw a slighlty plump, girl fumbling with a room key. She had bags placed at her feet. When she pushed the door open, Alyse called, "Hey!"

She jogged to catch up to the girl who turned around. "We've gotten a handful of new roomates, haven't we?" Alyse mumbled to Leighton as they jogged over to the girl. She looked slightly confused. "Another new room mate, are you?"

"Yeah," The girl said. Alyse motioned for her to come in, flicking lights on. "Well, welcome," Alyse said. "I'm Alyse."

"Leighton," Leighton mumbled softly to the girl. She gave the two a warm smile. "Kristine...," She looked around herself, and dragged her luggage into a room. "I'm guessing classes have already started?"

"Yup. After lunch we have one more class and the day is over."

Kristine

Alyse and Leighton, Alyse and Leighton... I thought to myself as I sat my bags down inside the room. Well, this was honestly a great start.

Like the first day of camp. I reminded myself. Only instead of summer it's the rest of the year.

"You can have this bed," said Alyse, patting one of the beds. I smiled and managed a thanks. I checked the schedule I had been given and said, "So now I have Creative Writing..."

Alyse looked right at me and said, excitedly, "Hey, I'm going to Creative Writing now, too!"

I almost sighed with relief. I won't be alone this first class...

*Yay!*

Leighton

"Um, if you want, eh, Alyse and I were thinking of going somewhere after the next class. Uh, there seems to be a lot of new people..." I stumbled.

"Cool! Where are we going?" Kristine asked, excitedly. I had a feeling she hadn't been introduced to everybody and was eager to meet new people. I wish I had the natural eagerness to meet people. I have to do it by force.

"We haven't figured out yet." Alyse said for me.

"Oh, ok." Kristine said, going back to her luggage.

"Ah, here's my schedule!" Kristine said.

"Oh no! Its 1:40! We're going to be late for class!" Alyse said, obviously terrified as she looked at her watch.

*Sorry Rei and TexanWriter for making your characters late for class. I couldn't help it. Next time I'll think of something really terrible. evil laugh*

Nick~~

i walked into class casually. I was ten minutes late.

"you are." the teacher asked.

"Nick, Scirmini" i said

"your late." he said.

"i know."

"well Nick, we are starting our first project today, the killer robots, you will make them then compete in class. The class winner will then battle other classes, and then that one will go to a competition with other schools, and after that a state one."

"okay so where do i go." i asked.

"over there." he said pointing to a few kids.

"okay." then i walked over. "I'm Nick, and I'm in this group." i said greeting them.

one of them looked me over. "are you sure your in the right class." he then asked me.

"yeah, i also know that is you switch out the motor in there for a hydraulics system it will be a lot faster, and if you don't switch those two wire on the arm all you'll get is a fire." i said looking him over. "and if you didn't know that maybe you aren't supposed to be in here."

The kid looked at it flabbergasted. "you're right, how did you."

"what just cause i don;t dress in what my mommy bought me i can't be smart. Just cause i carry around a board i can't know anything other then a few tricks." i said. "But i don;t really care. So lets go on attacks now. I'm thinking we add a buzz saw to both hands and also and a hammer that will swing down on the head."

Adam

I walked into my room Fred already chilling out doing yet another sketch. "Hey Fred you coming with everyone" he nodded blandly to be fair we had done the same thing for the last two days. "Hey Fred don't look so gloom your coming in my car".
"Adam I don't know if you've been doing drugs or not but you don't have a car" Fred said in his way
"says who my uncle got it shipped over and that's not the best part it's porsche and it's got back exstensions so it a four seater". Fred looked up from his sketch before grabing his jacket "so whats this plan?"
"Simple mate we drive to the nearest city and we bunk for the next two days their any come on I think were meeting in Alyse room.

*I dont mind you leaving, but keep in mind that it is a tuesday, and you have school until friday*

*o my lordy i finally get to post because you know how long it takes a phone to go onto the interweb and THEN go to yws?! or atleast my phone and it wouldn't have helped that I was in the middle of no where with a troup of random people (who i love dearly) all screaming (including me) "JASON IS GONNA KILL US!!!" yeah..fun trip.. not really.*

May~~~

WHen Matt stood up for me and broke that guys nose, I didn't know what to say honestly. I was flabbergasted and confused. Matt did not seem like the guy t just go break someone's nose, I would have dealt with the guys, those people could probably not even catch me, let alone "hurt me".

"Are you ok?" Matt said

"Your asking me if Im ok?!" I started and we had this discussion for a while.

"Please just go to the nurse, for your eye." I smiled weakly for the thing that was bleeding uncontrollably, we walked to the nurse and he kept trying to explain why he did it.

"i have..an anger problem." he dragged off and I looked at him.

"Strange." he stared at me, "you seem quite the opposite, but please try not to do it again." I ended that with a smile.

"They would have.." he dragged off again.

"done what?" I looked at him back.

"Hurt you.." he clenched his already clenched fist harder.

"No they wouldn't" I smiled and we kept walking and stepped into the nurses office, "you forgot who your talking to." I shook my head and looked away. he stared at me questioningly, "I know more than just how to parkour and dance." and I sighed. The nurse wasn't in there and if we didn't get something on it soon, he might faint from blood loss.

"What are you doing May?" he smiled at me and i felt warm on the inside.

"Fixin' that" I was looking away so he wouldn't spy my blush.


I walked over and placed the antibacterial on it, he didn't cringe like normal people did when you put the stinging elixir on. He looked at me while I cleaned it up I placed gauze on it and held it there for a while, he was still silent. I stared at his golden eyes and noticed how the different shades of gold twisted and formed around his pupil in intricate patterns. He looked at me and the door creaked open to reveal a plump male nurse, replacing the fluttery female that took care of me when I fainted.

"excuse me," he wheezed

I took off the gauze and revealed a nice pink slice of where the blood had come from.

"Well it looks like the lover of the fighter cleaned up his batle wounds," he cooed, thats when me and Matt took our cue, walking back to the dorm.

(YAY IM BACKKK!!!)

Okay. I'm just going to do a quick run-through of last class, then run up to my/ Alyse's room. We're apparently meeting at Alyse's room...

Alyse~
The first assignment for class was to write a creative paragraph describing their favourite place in school. Kristine had asked Alyse her favourite spot in school. She'd hesitantly said the track... of course.

Kristine said she'd be up in a few minutes. Alyse was getting ready for music class. She had combed out her hair, and was adjusting her mascara when there was a rap on the door. She went and got it.

"Hey," Fred and Adam said, coming in. Baffled Alyse let them by and coughed. Yes, she needed to get some medication. No cough syrup though... that had made her fall asleep.

"So... ha ha... what's up?" Alyse said, following them into the living area of the room, as Adam flicked on the television. "We're supposed to meet up at your place," Fred said.

"Oh...," Alyse slowly nodded her head, and got Leighton." Hey, Leigh, there's some people here I want you to meet. We're apparently hanging out with them today... along with some other people."

Leighton followed Alyse out into the living area. "Leighton, this is Fred and Adam. Adam and Fred, this is Leighton," Alyse said. She'd hope they'd start conversation so she could hurry up and get ready. But where were they going? She didn't want to be left out... even if that meant skipping music class.

But her bronchitis was getting worse. She really should've stayed in today. But-- cough, cough-- she hadn't wanted to.

*Oh My God, I wanna post! Oh and by the way, Maria and Chad are still in second period, Chemistry. And as for third period Maria also has Creative Writing*

Leighton

I was horrified myself. I was late for music! The most sacred of all classes, the most holy of all subjects! My life!

I didn't even stop to say goodbye to Alyse or Kristine who were both standing flabergasted. Oh well, I grabbed my notebook just in case and ran out of the building onto the music department.

When I rounded the corner of the hallway to my room, I could hear a lady singing and playing the piano.

"Ok, students. What note is this?" She asked, cheerfully.

As I stepped into the room, I said, "C!"

"Excellent. Though, it would have been better if you were on time. I have already gone through attendance so you have been marked absent. What is your name, dear?" She said.

"Leighton." I whispered. My cheeks must have been red hot. Why am I always in trouble?

"Speak up, child." She said sternly.

"Leighton Perry, maam." I said, louder.

"Good, very good. I'm glad you know your musical notation, Ms. Perry. Come here please." She said.

I was horrified. What was she going to make me do?

"You look like an intelligent young lady. Can you tell the class what a chord is?" She asked, turning me around to face the class. Most of the students were younger than me. Most people my age already had the basic music class or where in band or orchestra. I only know guitar so I couldn't be in band or orchestra and even if they had private lessons available I couldn't afford it.

I gladly told the class what a chord was. And other things that the teacher asked me to tell.

After class was over, the teacher stopped me before I exited the class.

"You like music don't you? I'm Ms. Lansky, I've been teaching for several years and you are one musical person. I can see it in your eyes." Ms. Lansky said.

No one had ever said that to me before. Ever.

*Whoops.....uhh, can you guys come back to get Leighton lol? Or should I edit? I'm supposed to be playing monopoly with my family right now....Leighton doesn't want to miss music class*

MATT

We left the nurses office but still had about half an hour before our next classes. We wandered around campus talking about random things, then went to our classes. I stepped into French and my body clenched up. The Jock from earlier was leaning back in a chair talking to one of his friends. Me and May went and sat at the back of the class, as far away from him as we could. Throughout the period I tried to forget he was there, but it was hard. Luckily I didn't have to pay much attention to the teacher, French was easy for me, and for some reason I was in French 1.

When the bell rang I ran outside and waited for May. We were walking back to the dorms when my phone vibrated. I flicked it open and read the text, 'Come to the soccer field for conditioning.'

I walked May to her dorm then went and ran into my room and grabbed my soccer bag. When I was at the field some of the kids were already practicing. I was already in my shorts so I put on my socks and laced up my golden predators. I waited for the coach to come.

When he was finally there we started. I could quickly tell I was one of the best person on the field. After an hour coach released us. I went back to my room to take a shower, but saw someone sitting on the couch that wasn't Chad.

*Hey! Alyse is in an advanced music class, too! We'll be in the same class, Leighton and Alyse, okay?*

Alyse~

Alyse had managed to sneak out and was standing at the doors of the music room. There was immense babbling inside, along with the sounds of instruments playing random notes. Alyse pushed the door open.

"Ms. Alyse! I'm glad you decided to join us!" Ms. Lansky said. She was tapping the baton on her thigh. She had her score sheet in front of her. "I'm glad you brought your flute because you're playing the solo in the band arrangement of "The Four Season's". The winter part, that is."

Ms. Lansky handed Alyse two sheets of music and Alyse looked it over. Boy... her flute was going to be rusty. She assembled her flute and began practising a scale in B-major. "Hey," Someone said. Alyse swivelled around. Leighton was awkwardly standing towards behind her. She must be really nervous.

"Hey, I didn't know you were in this class," Alyse said eagerly.

"Yup," Leighton said.

"I was forced into this class...," Alyse explained, before Ms. Lansky asked the bands to get into their seats. "Instruments up!" She said, and soon they were drifting into song.

That's all I've got!

(Favor. This moves so fast that I'm having trouble keeping up. Can someone make sure my character stays alive until I can post please?)

(Right before LaReina's Post.)

Tony started walking back to the dorm. It had been a long day and he hadn't had a chance for lunch because of some stupid prank that was blamed on him. Walking up the stairs he sighed, [i]What do I do now. I got most of my homework done during the time I was supposed to go to lunch. He decided to go see how Alyse was and make sure she was doing okay.

Just as he was about to knock Alyse burst out of the door and ran into him. They both went down and Tony started laughing. Alyse got up worried and started apologizing as fast as she could.Tony sttod up and put his hand on his head, "Don't worry about it okay? You're too uptight sometimes. Where are you off to anyway?"

"Music class,it's my last class and i don't want to be late."

"Wait, you went to class today? Alyse, you should have stayed here and rested."

"Now who's being uptight? I'm fine." She coughed pretty horsley. "Hey, apparently there's something going on today, can you make sure I stay in the loop."

She ran off and Tony yelled sure behind her. He walked into the room and took a seat next to Adam,"So what ARE we doing today?"
