Kyle

He stopped grinning, seeing that getting to this meeting was a lot more important to her than it was to him. He ran his tongue over his teeth, thinking, "Hmm...well, front doors and the doors they'll have on the sides won't work, since that'll be way too noticeable. And sneaking in through the backstage way probably won't work, either, if that door's even unlocked."

"Well, that's helpful." Casey muttered.

"Hey, I hadn't stopped. Is there a second floor? Like, one they don't really use, unless they've got more than the whole school assembled? Some halls have a little balcony overlooking it, and we can say we just watched the whole thing from up there, and just didn't get to the main area in time. They can't punish us if we can quote them part of what happened, right?"

Of course, that entire plan hinged on this school being like Kyle's old school, and that wasn't necessarily very likely.

*I smell trouble*
Casey
Perfect, I thought. I started smiling again though it was more sinister. Even though, we were trying to save our butts, it was a risky way to save our butts. Maybe that's why I liked it.
''Good plan. I think I did see a balcony when I was in the auditorium earlier.'' I said, already tugging Kyle's arm to where a back door could be. We were late.
Kyle was still standing in the lawn so I pulled his arm harder and started running towards the auditorium. Luckily, there was a door. But we didn't know where it went to.
''So....you gonna open it?'' I said.
''Why can't you do it?'' Kyle smirked.
I gave him a smirk back and slowly turned the knob. It was open but I had a feeling our luck was going to end soon.
I heard voices. We were in some kind of back way with a flight of stairs ahead that lead to the balcony. But it seemed like the light tech people (I forgot the name....) were at the end of the balcony. We would have to make sure they couldn't see us.
*I hope that's ok Billy!*

*That's fine, JC*

Kyle
He shot a look over at the pair of techies at the end of the balcony. He wasn't happy with them being there, but then, as long as he and Casey managed to stay out of their sight, they'd be safe.

Kyle pointed her to a spot on the other end of the balcony, where a few storage boxes - probably lighting equipment - had been piled up. "Other side of those." He whispered. Casey nodded, and the two of them crept around to the other side, just
as they heard footsteps on the same stairs they'd been on moments before.

They exchanged a look, and then a moment later heard a hushed voice from where the techies were. "Have either of you seen anyone else up here? Students, maybe?"

There was no audible response, so they could only hope that the techies had shaken their heads, and the teacher
wouldn't bother with a close look at the rest of the balcony.

*Where did everybody go?*

Casey

I exhaled with relief as the tech people walked by without noticing us. Kyle's arm brushed mine as we crouched closer to the ground to avoid being seen. I smiled and listened to what I imagined to be the head of the school talking. He was going on and on about success, leadership, and scholars. It was incredibly boring but if we were to get caught just like Kyle said, we would have to recite something just so they know we where present. But, that didn't mean we had to listen to all of it.

"You know we could just remember part of the speech." I whispered in Kyle's ear.

"True." Kyle whispered back.

"Leaders are the keys to other doors." The voice said, the same one that came over the speakers minutes before.

"That'll do." Kyle said and I nodded. Leaders are the keys to other doors I said over and over in my mind so I wouldn't forget it.

"So, now that we have that down, what do you want to do?" I whispered, "Of course it'll have to be quiet though."

Kyle

He frowned a little, not having thought that far ahead. "Well, I don't have anything with me, I don't think..." He shrugged, "I don't know, what do you normally do for fun?"

She shrugged, "I play basketball or go for a run."

He shook his head, "I should've guessed, hey. Well, not much chance in here." He pulled out his ipod, "You listen to music, as well? Or is there anything you'd prefer doing that's not sport?"

*Everyone is gone....except us it seems.*

Casey~

"Well I write sometimes." I whispered, "You know stories, stuff like that. Hey, I got an idea. We can play the story game."

Kyle raised his eyebrows at me, his earphones already on.

"You know, I write a sentence, you write a sentence." I said, pulling out my notebook. I quietly tore a few pages out for us to write on.

"Its fun. I'll start."

A girl walked briskly down the street, wearing bright pink slippers.

Zack~~"Yeah got it," I said and went to the crates, "Ah here it is," IK said and removed one, and revealed something else.

"Why are you two in here?" I asked a pair of kids behind the pyrotechnics.

"Um..." the girl said.

"Er..." the guy harmonized.

"Don't, worry," I said with a yawn, "I won't tell, so long as you don't let anyone know I'm a techie"

"Thanks," They both said and sighed in relief.

"So why are you up here?" I said raising my eyebrow.

"Not that," The guy said.

"We were late to the assembly, and so we came up here to catch some to repeat when we get in," The girl said.

"OH, one sec then," I said walked away and came back with two passes, "Take these when you go into the office. And call me in as a witness if needed, I'm Zack Macine. And with that you may leave," I added.

Then left myself.

"Wait why are you leaving?" The girl asked.

"This place is a bore, and I want to practice my jump shoot while the courts are empty. I got someone here to vogue for me," I said and walked out with the duo.

*sorry, I was in spring break mode- no computer*

Kristen

April had found her again, it seemed that Kristen was destined not to have many friend once again. This always seemed to happen to her. She turned and smiled at April, the principal had just gotten done with his tirade about conduct this year, about not repeating last year's coincidence. Fortunately Kristen was new here so she had no idea what had happened. Once again I'm out of the loop. She and April stood up and started to go down the aisle, Kristen tripping over her own feet and hitting her chin on a chair. She was unconscious when she hit the floor.



Kristen began to move slightly when she stopped, feeling pain roll through her body. Her head felt as if someone was taking a hammer to it and her chin was sore. She opened her eyes slowly to see that she was in a bright room that was remarkably white. She looked around trying to figure out where she was when a woman walked over to her.
"Well, you're finally awake. It's about time. Sit up slowly and let me have a look," The woman's kind face gave her away. Kristen was in the nurse's office.
"Great," Kristen mumbled right before she blanked out.

*someone keep me in please. I can change the post if needed.*

April

After Kristen tripped over, I went with her to the nurse's office, but she was only half conscious, I waited until she regain consciouness, she seemed sort of confused.

*I'm a little confused on what is happening, bolt. Kyle and Casey have left the auditorium with "passes", right? And are now accompanying Zack to the basketball courts? Of which Casey is definetly going to win if there's a game xD.*

Yes, and no way, Zack will dominate, he can slam dunk. But you can win, but have Zack make very dumb mistake, that look like he let her have it.

*oh yeah? oh yeah? Well Casey can slam dunk too! Just you wait, bolt. Zack is going dooooowwwwwwnnnnnnnn*

Casey~

"Pratice your jump shoot, eh?" I said, once we got back outside, "Are you going to try out?"

Zack shrugged. *I can edit this bolt, just tell me if Zack is going to be on the basketball team or not..*

"Well anyway, thanks for the passes. I guess we should still remember that little tid-bit of the speech?" I said, turning to Kyle who was on my right.

He nodded, "Leaders are the keys to other doors" and smiled.

Zack raised his eyebrows as we entered the court. A stray basketball sat in the corner by the fence. Kyle ran over and picked it up.

"Anyone up for a game?" I asked, "I know we have an odd number..."

"I could always sit out for this one. You and Zack can play a game and the winner goes against me." Kyle chimed in.

"Cool."

Kyle threw me the ball and I got ready to play my favorite game.

*bolt, I'm going to let you post the game actually...just because I barely know all the rules to a one on one game of basketball. I suck at sports. I know that sounds so pathetic...*

He is still deciding between a few.

I'm not in the mode to write the game, can you JC?

*hah i haven't written in a while sorry..*

Amy~~

Amy was lost in the crowd, her short stature made it impossible to see anyone, anywhere. The two other girls had gone off with new friends. the principal talked and talked for what seemed like forever so when the bell finally rang and Amy ran out. She ran back to her room before anyone moved really and was probably known as the speeding midget by now. She sighed when she shut the door of her room and dug into her duffle bag, she pulled out a nikon and slipped into the hallway smiling.

She walked around snapping pictures, two people playing basketball a sport she was never really good at because of her height. She snapped pictures of them slam dunking on eachother. They didn't notice her of course until a voie noticed her.

"Oi what are you doing?"

Zack:

"Oi what are you doing?" Kyle yelled after I made a dunk again, tying up the game.

"Taking pictures," Siad a shirt midget of a girl.

"Oh cool, we need a forth wanna play," I asked.

"Not really," She said and held out her hands to indicate her height.

"That doesn't matter, C'mon," I said.
