ICLISA

the whole crowd was unorganized...too many people roaming around doing nothing but eating.

A boy came into the hall as i was about talk to the one who baked the cookies with a curious look on his face. he looked a bit lost. he had great black hair.
"U los?" i asked him.
he smiled, "Yeah, i just came and i do not know where to go. What has happened?"
"oh...we et cokies n here. My nam s Iclisa." i offered him a hand.
"hi, my name's Marc." he siad as i shook his hand tight that when we let go he was partly shaking.
"That's a tight shake you have?"
"Rely? i tout it was nomal. R u rom Merica?" i asked as i chewed the last bits of my cookie
"Yes and i can see that youa re not from here. Where are you from?"
i took me time to uinderstand what he had said but i confidently replied, "Bosnia and Herzegovina."
he paused for a moment wondering where it was. I can tell from his arch eyebrows taht he do not where it was.

"It s ner Italy by d Adriatic sea. Som wer tere." i replied forcing a smile. "I liv on neum but formery sarajevo wer a war tok pace."
"a war?" he asked curious. I nodded with confidence before i proudly talked on the trainings i had about the war.

Fox, I know your characters don't speak english very well, but using U for you and stuff like that is still chat speak. And it doesn't make much sense either. If someone didn't speak full english they would not use whole words like they would say "ike" for like and "th" for the.

I arrived and went to my room. I noticed that Iclisa was not there. I got back to the door and peekd my head out to see if she was somewhere near.And yes she was, she was at the end of the corridor talking to another guy. She's making friends I thought and closed the door behind me.
I went back to my room and changed my clothes into my favorite pajamas: a purple and white striped tank top and a white tank top. Once I was changed I admitred my room for a bit. It's walls where a light purple, my favorite color with a green stripe in the middle. Quite simple campared to how my room was back home. But after a few minutes I got tired of admiring my room and looked for the book I was reading in the car: The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I started reading When suddenly I heard a knock in the door. It can't be Iclisa I thought She woul have just walked in.
I got uo and went to see who it was. When I opened the door I was surprised to see Avaline.
“Avaline?" I asked in disbelief. “Wow, you got here really fast. It’s only been fifteen minutes. I like your pajamas.” Pretty pajamas: green and classy obviously silk.
"Come in" I said to her. She smiled and went in. It must habe beeen a huge different from where she slept since she looked at everything.
"A bit different, huh?" I asked

"Yes, MY room is the whole floor, but this is really nice and cozy" She sat on the couch in the living room and I sat next to her, smiling at each other.
"Sleepover?" she asked. I let out a smile from ear to ear and nodded eagerly.
"Wanna see my room" I asked as I grabbed her by the elbow and took her to my room.
She stared wide eyed. It was certainly different from her room, but as soon as she got in she jumped to my bed and sat down near the pillow.
"So welcome to my room" I said jockingly."I'll introduce you to..." I said as I grabbed a purple teddy bear "Sky". She let out a laughter and from behind her she grabbed a brown teddy bear and threw it to me. I jumped to the bed and sat at her side.
" I can't believe you" I said laughing. Once Our lughter was controlled, I supposed we could start the new girls sleepover.
"So what do we do'" I asked her. She quickly grabbed a small piece of paper that she had on her pocket and showed it to me
"Cookies!!" she said.And we both jumped out of the bed and went to the small kitchen in the bedroom. We started looking for the ingredients and the frying-pans.
The door suddenly opened and it whas Iclisa. She looked at Avaline with a confused expression.
"Hey Iclisa" I said to her. "Avaliine, Iclisa; Iclisa, Avaline" I introduced them.
"Hey" Avaline said stretching out her hand.
"Hello" Iclisa said smiling a little and shaking Avaline's hand carefully.

*sorry about that bolt. i won't do it again. i'll try my best just point it if i am doing it again.

Mykolas

the eastern european girl left the guy whom she was talking and headed back to her room.
"Hey," i greetd him, "i see tat yu met her."
he shrugged. "She's an interesting character. Got training at an early age."
"it the war. herd abot it. I'm Mykolas and im rom Lithuania."
"Another eastern european person. Thats the second in a row." he smiled.
"dont wory." i smiled trying to take my attention away from his dark hair. I've seen that kind of hair from films and above all, i think it was weird especcially talking to someone like him.

"I dont do traning. Say want some cookies" i tried to speak proper english. he nodded and i led him where the cookies are held and bumped to Violet who was still looking a bit cheerful from what ahd happened.
"Hi, Violet, are yu okay?" i aked her.
"Of course, i am. Here grab some more cookies..." she pointed out before she saw a boy whom iw a sleading.
"He's lost." i paused. "Hes nam is..."
"Marc," he introduce himself to her and both shook hands.


ICLISA

"Iclisa, come join us. We're having a sleepover." Jackie invited me.
"rely? i was abot to go otside and ake a walk." i reasoned out.
"But come on, it will be fun besides you can walk later." she reasoned out more and becasue i was still new to this place, it was better to get more allies rather tahn enemies. I nodded before i took some clotehs and told them i'm going to change.
When i came back, i wore a green sleeveless shirt and green pants that reminds me of those American marines.
"You look like a soldier," the new girl, AValine pointed out and i nodded. We assembled at the beds and began talking. From that point, i tried to exercise my english.

*Pudin...who is the third roomate?
John McClane: Drop it. It's the police.
Tony: You won't hurt me.
John McClane: Oh, yeah? Why not?
Tony: Because you're a policeman. There are rules for policemen.
John McClane: Yeah. That's what my captain keeps telling me

Violet~~

After meeting MArc, The people with all the cookies in theyir hands could have counted for a party. The sugar cookies seemed endless and eventaully we all just ended up on couches. Desmond's dog was about and Robert had caught up and was laying across the back of the couch.

"You know what? You guys should start a band to play for May and Matt's wedding!" I looked straight at Desmond, "He asked you to play right?"

"Yeah.. might have to check if we can bring an actual band though," He dragged off into thought.

"That would be friggen awesome!" Said Mel

Marc got up, he looked anxious. "Guys I'm going to go eat real food in my room."

"We should go eat at the cool place down town," Someone offered, I think her name was Avaline.

"Any objections?" I asked.
The one who smiles the most has something to hide.

..i'm lonely...message me..some how add me on your social networking site (unless you are some creepy weirdo who stalks girls for their organ harvesting company..i personally like them inside of me thankyou :) )

**Lord you guys! Haha! Sorry, I would've posted sooner but I've been traveling all day... And pudin, is it still okay if Brendon rooms with yall? I realized that you asked earlier before I asked Lauren if he could room with Jack and Granger**

Laurel Gracie;

Laurel couldn't help but grin at the question Maria asked. Where was she from? That was complicated. "In all truth, I don't know," she laughed lightly, running a hand through her blonde and brunette hair. She glanced at the clock the same time her stomach growled. "Hey, you've been here a while right?" MAria nodded. "Do you know where all the food is?"

*all I got*

Brendon Chase;

Brendon was close to dropping to his knees and yelling when he finally ran across his room number. He let out a sigh of relief, shifting Dweeb's cage into one arm while the ferret crawled onto the top of his head. He stuck his key in the hole, twisting and opening the door. Feminine voices were talking in another room. Brendon let out a groan. Was he rooming with girls? Just great. Freaking great. He felt like stomping his feet like a little kid and complain about cooties. In all truth though, he just didn't want to listen to all the girl problems. He thought he was away from his sister.

He looking into a room on the far right, seeing nothing set up. He let out a sigh of relief and walked in, setting Dweeb on his cage after placing it on the dresser before collapsing on his bed with a loud sigh of relief.
Oh, the tiger will love you. There is no sincerer love than the love of food.

The living room was really interesting. Different, but still interesting.
“A bit different, huh?” She asked
“Yes, my room is the whole floor,” I hesitated for the right words, “But this is really nice and cozy.” I settled down on the couch in the living room and Jackie sat beside me.
“So…” I looked around again, “Sleepover?” I asked, unsure of how the whole event began. Were you supposed to just go at it, or wait for the other to start it?
She let out a smile from ear to ear and nodded. “Wanna see my room?” She asked as she took me by the elbow and toward her room.
Once we arrived there, I stared at it for a long time. Purple wall? Full size bed? Fuzzy carpets?
Without thinking, I hopped onto her bed and sat near the pillow.
Chapter 7, subsection 3, jumping on top of beds is a close second to having a trampoline indoors. It’s a great way to get you and your soon-to-be friend hyped up for a sleepover. Just be sure no one falls off the bed, otherwise, pillow fights and jumping on the bed could easily become a safety hazard.
“So, welcome to my room.” She said jokingly. “Ill introduce you to…” She grabbed a purple teddy bear, “Sky.”
I examined the purple teddy contently. The book was working so far.
I broke out laughing, my high-pitched girly shrill, before pulling out a white teddy bear from my overnight bag.
[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]“His name is Teddington,” I remembered when I first got him.
“Teddington?” She asked, raising a brow/
I ran a finger through one of my curls, “Actually, that is his nickname. His birth name is President Teddington Etienne the Magnificent, Teddington for short.”
I threw the bear at her. She caught it and plopped down beside me. The two of sat there laughing until we could control ourselves.
“So what do we do?” She asked me. She seemed to not know much about the “sleepover rules” either.
Taking the lead, I quickly pulled out a small piece of paper and slapped my head with my palm.
“Shoot, I forgot the cookies.” My voice came out muffled from beneath my hand. “I apologize, Jackie.” I shot her a sad face, which might have ended up as a pout, and she waved her hand.
“No worries, we can make them together.” She took the paper from my hand and guided me over to the small kitchen in the bedroom.
I looked inside the refrigerator while Jackie poked through the cupboards. Forty minutes later, the oven timer beeped and we removed the tray of cookies and set them aside.
Just as Jackie set the tray on the stove, the door opened, revealing a girl, around my height but with a more serious, mature aura. Her long, blonde locks were tied into a neat ponytail, not a hair out of place and a few bobby pins keeping the do together. Her eyes were a softer green than Jackie’s contest, almost the color of my shirt, but they were more narrow, brown eyeliner at the edges.
She looked to me with a confused expression and I my lips formed a straight line. It looked like I’d have competition for Jackie’s friendship.
“Hey Iclisa,” Jackie said to her. “Avaline, Iclisa’ Iclisa, Avaline.”
“Hello,” I said as warmly as I could. I gritted my teeth, trying to keep my competitive instincts from kicking in.
“Hello,” Iclisa said, smiling a little as she took my hand and gave it a firm shake.
“Iclisa, come join us. We’re having a sleepover.” Jackie said with her lucid grin. Her optimism and outgoing personality were definitely some of her great qualities.
“Rely? I was abot to go otside and take a walk.” Iclisa wrinkled her nose, stepping away from Jackie. Maybe there wouldn’t be any competition. I let my tensed muscles relax. However, if any competition were to arise, I’d have to beat my rivals at all costs. I don’t lose, especially not to other girls. Though the darker side of me was in play, my face didn’t mirror what I was thinking.
“But come on, it will be fun. Besides, you can walk later.” Jackie insisted.
Iclisa nodded, left to change, and came back wearing a green sleeveless shirt and green pants. They reminded me of the military.
“You look like a soldier,” I pointed out. She just nodded.
After I rolled out my sleeping bag and the other girls removed theirs from their baggage, we began talking.
“So, where are you, eh, from?” Iclisa questioned, her accent not as thick as before. She must’ve decided to practice her English.
“New York,” Jackie said as she folded her arms behind her head and laid down on the sleeping bag. “I miss it, but,” She hesitated, “My family insisted that I come to this boarding school. I’m actually glad they did.”
One glance at the look in her hazel eyes and I knew that asking any more about her past would bring back some depressing memories. I nodded at her, secretly saying I understood her desire to live in the present, not the past. I also wanted to live that dream.
“And you, Ayvalynn?” Iclisa asked, her accent leaking through when she came to my name.
“It’s Ah-va-line.” I corrected her. “And I come from France, Paris, France. And if you’re wondering about my skin color and my eyes, the reason is my mother is Taiwanese.”
“That is how you say… awesome?” Iclisa narrowed her eyes, looking as though she’d flinch if we told her she used the wrong phrase.
“Yeah,” Jackie smiled.
At eleven thirty, we finally went to sleep.

Desmond~~

I grabbed a cookie and stepped out of the room. All of the people were starting to choke me up.

I closed the door behind Roland as he followed me out. I let myself slide down the wall and put my hands on my knees, the cookie hanging free in my mouth. I closed my eyes and ran my fingers along my leg in a the form of a song. I could no longer remember the name but all I knew was that it was classical, and spanish sounding. As i tapped I began to hear the music and it flowed through me, making me long to actually play it once again.

I stood up and whistled, low but sharp. Roland's ears perked up and he hopped up to follow me.

*someone can stop me or whatever*

MYKOLAS

i closedmy cellphone as i walked back to my room after two laps of going up and down the stairs. I needed my limped leg to adjust the place here. Outside, it was already dark and i wondered if violet has already gone to bed. By what ahd happened, she must be tired. I yawned and wondered if i need to sleep to. There are so many things i want to do tomorrow. Just as i was about to reached my floor. A girl came up feeling a bit lost.

"Hey, can you help me?" she asked and i looked at her. She had blonde air and wore a blue jeans.
"Sur..."
"can you help me with the luggage. I just came and i am tired in some way." ishe said. I helped her and led her to the floor she told me.

"thanks." she thanked me. "my name's cornelia and yours is..."
"Mykolas," i said.
"nice to meet you, mykolas. and thanks for the help. have a goodnight." she said as we seperated

Hayley

"So, are you coming or what?"

I tried my best to ignore Aaron, dragging my case and Floyd's bird cage up the corridors towards my room. Excitement flooded through my veins, plastering a grin on my face as I came towards my dorm number. Aaron wasn't going to ruin this for me today.

I felt a sharp jab in between my shoulder blades.

"I asked you a question," Aaron growled in my ear.

I sighed, flinching slightly and pulling my head away from him.

"You know parties aren't really my thing, Aaron," I said quietly, casting an almost frantic glance around me to check that no one was going to be here to witness an upcoming argument. I tested the door handle to see if it was locked or not, and I sighed in relief when the door clicked open.

"Don't walk away from me like that. I was asking you something!" He shoved his foot between the door and the frame as I attempted to close myself inside. His eyes darted around the inside of the room to check no guys were in there. He then looked down at me with a cold expression. "I expect to see you at the party tonight, so I can keep an eye on you." I rolled my eyes. What an ass.

"See you later then," I said, ducking inside the door before he could force a kiss on me.

I turned around and gazed at my new room. No one seemed to be around. I set Floyd's cage down upon the carpet. He looked around merrily, his tall yellow crest raising in curiosity at the new room.

"You hungry?" I said to him, reaching into my suitcase and pulling a biscuit out.

"Ta," Floyd chirped as I broke a bit off for him, accepting it in his small talons. I left the cage door open to give him freedom around the room if he pleased.

I grinned at my clever little avian friend, before having another look around the room again. I blinked a little in shock as a huge black dog emerged from under the bed. It looked up at me with little interest, before whining and beginning to scratch the door.

"Hello!" Floyd greeted it, scooting across his perch in the cage and wolf whistling at the dog. I laughed a little, reaching down to give the dog a little scratch behind the ears.

*Aaron will be having a party in his dorm, if that's okay*

*SOOO late*
*Sorry!!*

Edwin Hart

I tapped Rufus head while my godfather ride the car to my new "home". Can I even call that to it? I just cane back from Kenia, with a six months of exhalation on my package. This was the first time I came to hide myself in such a "public place". More scared people, more lowliness, more controversial rumors... Bahh! I was already use to it, so why winning for nothing!
"Everything will be alright Rufus. I'm sure about it." I said top my friend. He looked at my with his gloomy eyes and snugged into. "At least, we are surrounded by a nice forest. I sense some adventure in it's shades my friend. And some really marvelous pictures."
My camera. My beloved camera. It was one of the objects that I controlled the best. We were one when she was in my hand.
"Right Ed. Now the rules."
Oh! The mighty rules! Something that I have been hearing for the past years. No getting out from the town...
"No running out of the town."
Always watch out your enemy...
"Your senses need to be always is alert and if anything happens, defend yourself. I trained you for something, right?If you sense any hard-core danger, run to the forest and stay there. Something easy for you, 'cause you are already used to it."
I knew the ancient defense techniques of Japan. I had knowledge on how to work with guns and other artillery devices and how to survive with extreme conditions.
Travelling the world was great, magnificent to be exact. I had been in places that many young teenagers with my age never dreamed with but being hidden from the society can be really hurtful.
"Can at least, try to make friends?" I asked.
"Yes but be careful. I treasure you a lot and you know what they are capable to do. Just look at your scars. Don't get to attached to someone, they can use him to attack you." Philip answered.
"Got that."

***

Finally, the car stopped and I opened the door. I was officially, stepping in to a new era on my life. Rufus can right behind me and I grabbed my luggage.
"Bye Philip" I said while hugging tightly my godfather " I will miss you."
"Bye Ed. Take care. I'll be checking you often but if you need anything, you now what to do, right?"
"Sure"
And I left him. I walked to the magnificent building in front of me.Everything was so modern. The school looked great. I was sure I was going to have a blast here. Maybe I could rest and have some fun. Maybe they 'd not bug me in here. And I took a deep breath.
So, this is the smell of society...



***

I got to my room and I discovered I was staying with a guy... Jonathan, I think and a girl, Kyleigh. The girl looked at me with the corner of her eye. Of course she was scared of me. After fighting exotic animals, running from a killer family and surviving to extreme conditions, I was sure I had acquired a tough expression. I hope this would not turn into a normal reaction.
