Boarding School: The Next Generation

Avaline.
"NO fair" I growled, " then , I'll start speaking French and je ne suis pas gringa"
we all laughed.
"Frenchy" he said in between laughs, bu this Frenchy didn't bother me.It was acutally amusing.

Desmond~~

"Yeah. Its much better than where i came from" I saw a question forming on his lips but spoke up, "Military background, lots of things I didn't really want to do." I could only be honest with him, he'd been with me.

"Do you mind if I ask what?"

I sighed, he would probably run, "Prevention mostly."

"What's that?"

"Stopped bad things from happening. Murders, things like that."

"And why didn't you like that?"

"Sometimes things... ended badly for the other person."

He was silent for a minute, then he grasped my meaning, "Oh..."
"Yeah. Well, I think I should probably go, my next class is on the other side of campus. See you around."

Mary

Jonathan's spanish-speaking abilities surprised Mary, but it was very nice to have someone to be able to relate to.

The others were talking about something else, and not quite including Mary, but not quite leaving her out. When they mentioned detention, Mary's heart almost stopped.

"I'm late!" she yelled as she got up and sprinted through the halls. She decided to cut through a courtyard. As she hurried through she noticed Travis, whom she had met during the blackout, running into a tree and landing on the ground. Mary couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Travis groaned from where he lay on the ground.

"Are you okay?" Mary asked, leaning over him.

He opened his eyes and blinked a few times. "I hit the tree," he mumbled.

Mary laughed. "Yes, I'd say so." She extended a hand to help him up. "Be more careful next time," she told him before dancing the rest of the way through the courtyard.

Soon enough she was twirling into the detention room *is it time for detention?*. There were already a few people inside, Mary took a seat in a row by herself.

Jack

"See you around," Jack said. He listened until Desmond's footsteps died away, then he rubbed Shadow's head. "Didn't make too bad an impression now did I, Shadow?"

Jack continued to eat his lunch in peace, he was in no hurry. It was an hour before he was due to meet with his tutor and he could stand to be a little late. Tutoring wasn't very exciting in the first place, it wasn't even fun to admit he had to take, and it would be a fine excuse to say he couldn't find his way. He was blind after all.

Iclisa

I slammed the door opened to teh surprise of the people inside. There were few though, a girl whom i recognized from english.

"Comrades! Let us experienced our agony together!!" i exclaimed saluting before i sat down a few seats across the hispanic girl. I sat up staright and place my laps to my laps. Around, i can feel their stares but i did not care. Violet entered the room quickly apologizing to everyone about my behavior.

"Iclisa, please...dont do this. It is a little bit embarrasing." she whispered and i nodded my head. The teacher soon came to watch over us and to my surprise, it was the english teacher who made us put to detention. She looked at us for a moment. her eyes was at me the longest.
I met her gaze like a competition but she soon looked away.
"i won," i whispered as the rest of the students piled inside the classroom with no clue to what had happened.
The hispanic girl kept a close eyes on me and i looked at her with a narrow stare before she soon retreated away from my gaze.
Soon the teacher told us on what to do. No going out of our seats, no loud talking just whispers, no toying around, no disturbing the teacher and do some school work instead of doing nothing Becasue it was the first day, we had rarely enough homework.
We have one hour for our detention and i wonder what the otehrs will do. For me, i could count how many strands i have on my forehead.

Bethany

She was sitting beside a complete psycho! Beth had no idea who that chick was but she was actually having staring competions with the teacher, and yelling something about being together. Whatever it was, Beth though maybe she had been dropped on her head too many times at birth.

"You're a weird one, aren't one?" She asked, amused. The girl didn't find it too funny and only shrugged.

"Well, I'm Bethany, but you can call me Beth. and I'd prefer not to call you something beside weird," she smiled.

Jonathan

He followed suit just after Mary left. He was a little dissapointed about just leaving Avaline like that, but her supposed that he could talk to her again tomorrow.

"Hey, Mary," Jonathan smiled at her, sitting in the class.

He spoke a little spanish to her, under his breath, mocking the teacher. She tried not to laugh, but Jonathan could tell she was really making an effort to not do it. It wasn't like the teacher knew what they were saying anyway.

"Nice to know I can talk to someone in my original language," he grinned. "So how long does this thing last anyway?"

Omg Bolt, the same think jsut happened to me! I jsut felt like breaking my computer The whole entry was lost!

Melanie

"Thank you," Melanie half whispered to Shane and Beth. She then turned away, and started walking towards the parking lot. She had to be quick, or the hospital would call their parents. She drove far too above the ordered speed limit, and got the Hospital an hour later. Took her ten minutes to reach her older brother's room.

"What happened this time?!" She said, walking into his room. Stephan had several bruises and small cuts to his upper torso and face, and his left arm was tied to his chest. "You broke our arm?! What the Hell, Stephan?!"

"I got into a fight." Stephan sighed. "Did they call dad and mom?"

"No. You should thank me for asking them to put me first, the last time we were here..." that wasn't that long ago. "And yes, I can see that you got into a fight! Where? With who? Why?!"

"With some guy, at campus." He paused, wondering if he should explain the rest or hide it from his sister. "He was reading some magazine. And he recognized you," Oh.My.God. from when you said goodbye on the first day. He was making jokes, and all, talking to me." He was getting angry again. "I told you! You shouldn't have taken that job, I could have gotten you the money with little time an-" His speech was cut off by a tight hug.

"I'm sorry." She hugged him tighter. "But don't you ever do that again!" She rested her had on his shoulder for a few moments. "When can you go to the University?"

"Later on today."

Melanie looked at the time. "I have to go. This place is still a bit far. Don't you do something stupid like that again!" She kissed him goodbye. "And you can come and visit!" She waved and ran to the car. She had to get to school fast, or she'd be noticed to have gone. Every time the Hospital called her, she feared something worse than a fight. Something seriously worse. Like how Stephan was some months ago. Melanie shrugged, and hurried back into her car.

She arrived at the campus and strolled down to her dorm.

**can someone please bring in lil ol Violet??**

Mary

Mary shrugged. "An hour I think," she said.

Jonathan leaned back in his chair. "How exciting."

Mary nodded and looked around the room. There was an awful lot of people for the first day of classes. This would certainly make for an interesting year.

"So where are you from?" Mary asked Jonathan. "You can't be from the states to be able to speak such fluent spanish."

*it's all i've got =/*

*Sure thing, lizzi...i'll bring Violet back

Iclisa

You're a weird one, aren't one?" She asked, amused. The girl didn't find it too funny and only shrugged.

"Well, I'm Bethany, but you can call me Beth. and I'd prefer not to call you something beside weird," she smiled.
"Weird?" i repeated looking at her with a straight glance. "You dare call me weird?"

"Iclisa...come down, please." Violet mentioned holding my shoulder to stop me before she looked at the girl who introduce ehrslef as Beth.
"Hi...its a pleasure to meet you. My name is Violet and this is Iclisa. I am sorry if she acted like this...she is just..."
"weird..."
Then all of teh sudden, is tood up straight from my seat, took the girl by the collar and slammed her by the wall. My eyes met her.
"DOnt you dare call me weird. You do not have any power to insult anyone above your rank, miss!"
"This is not the military, Miss Nadean." the teacher called back as everyone stood to witnesss this. "But her down or i will prolong your detention!"
the teacher threathened me. Lucky for her that she has some power. I gazed again at Beth before i put her down forcely back to the ground and went back to my seat.
AFterwhich, the teacher ordered me to go to the corner where there was a seat. I followed her orders and she sat opposite me writing a letter.
"Ms. Nadean, what you did today was unneccessary. From this day on towards the end of the term, you will have detention. If you do anything else like this, i will tell the principal to suspend you or expel you from this school. We do not welcome bullies here."

Bullies, that was the last word i would describe myself. Yet, i obeyed her orders and went back to my seat. The girl who was called Beth gave me an eye but i shot back at her with a more cold stare.
"Iclisa...stop this at once." Violet warned and i agreed leaning my head against the steel surface of the desk. She then apologized to the girl and went on with her own detention.

**Beth is actually tougher than she looks. A lot. And she wouldn't have taken that. Beth had a rough history and so she learned to fight and hold her own. ^_^ Sorry, if I confused you!**

Bethany

"I don't need you to apologize to me for that bitch," Beth spat out. She was glad that teacher had told that girl to sit down before she did something she regretted.

Iclisa glared at her and Beth smiled, sweetly.

"Something I say bother you?" She asked in a sing song voice.

Iclisa went to stand up again and but this time the teacher interferred. "Girls! That is enough."

"Oh, for now," Beth muttered. She wasn't finished witht this girl. She obviously needed some manners and if she ever touched Beth again she would learn them.

Jonathan

"Originally, Mexico," he told her. "I miss it a lot, but, when my dad died, I didn't really have a choice."

"Oh," Mary said. "I'm sorry."

Jonathan shrugged. "It's alright. I was young and I don't really remember it."

"That just makes it all the more sad," Mary mused. "I'm sorry," she said again, blushing.

Jonathan shrugged again and changed the subject. "So, where are you from?"

Mary

"Spain," Mary said, smiling. "But I've been in the states at different boarding schools for the past three years. I miss it a lot too, especially my family and speaking the language and being called by my own name."

Jonathan raised an eyebrow. "You name isn't Mary?"

Mary blushed a little. "No it is, I mean it's my nickname. My full name is Maria Sophia Cortez. For some reason I kept getting mixed up with someone named Maria from a past year here, so I've been going by the nickname I got at my first school."

"I'd hate going by a nickname," Jonathan said.

"You don't like Jon?" Mary asked.

Jonathan made a face and shook his head. "I don't think it suits me very well."

Mary leaned back and looked him over. "No, you're right. Jonathan is a much better fit," she said a matter-of-factly.

Violet~~

Detention, wow. Violet sat down again, thinking of how stupid she was for trying to get back to the dorm to try to get into that little compartment Desmond had in his bag. She was soon convicted by an accusation of attempting to skip. hah. Violet flashed her smiled while trying to get Iclisa and this new girl, Beth, to settle down.

"The wind in the willows-," She sang with a smile and then her tempo got faster, "Sighing like a solitary soul alone!" Violet repeated this calming verse for a while then suddenly stopped.

"I need to leave for a bit, hopefully you hoodlums won't burn down the school," The teacher spoke tartly then went out of the classroom.

An awkward silence followed her, then Beth whispered something. After that it all went very fast, Beth was pinned to a wall with Iclisa snarling. Violet was frozen and the other detention-ees were all doing a war chant of sorts. It was too loud, Violet couldn't hear anything besides her own heartbeat. Soon her own body was in motion breaking through Iclisa's grip on the girl and separating them both.

It was too late, Beth had already wound up a punch meant for Iclisa but it only made a smacking noise against Violet's face.

could someone bring in JAckie and Avaline please? I'm lost I went missing for two days and I don't undertand what's going on!!

Please.

Pudin

*oh, pudin...well Iclisa was in detention and she got into a fight with Bethany and now there having a fight at the hall.

Mykolas

For a moment, we were spending normal classes when all of the sudden, a student went inside our room to tell us that there has been a fight at the hallway. I dont know i buy into it but the rest did and soon they all went out of the classroom to see what was actually happen.

"What is going on?" Jackie asked me followed by Avaline behind her.
I shrugged, "Some kid says there a fight."
"A fight...wow...what a first day of school." Cornelia commented as we went to where a large crowd. People began to yell out war chants and i tried to stand on my tip toe to see what actually was going on. When i did, my eyes widen...
"So...what did you see?" AValine asked.
"Its Iclisa..."
"Iclisa is she hurt...?" one of them asked.
I shook my head. "She's into a fight with some otehr girl." i did not hear their reaction but looked again at the fight. Iclisa already has her uniform torned and has bruises in her face. That go for the same for the other girl.
"This is barbaric." whispered Avalane, "Why can't anyone stop it."
I bit my lip until i saw Violet going out of the classroom with her nose bleeding. She tried to stop the fight to no avail before a group of etacher push us and entered the fight scene. One pinned Iclisa at the other while the otehr pinned the second girl at the otehr wall. A nurse came to inspect the wound of Violet while Iclisa and the otehr girl screamed taunts towards each other.

Going back for a bit

Shane


I had watched from the side lines the first time the two girls had gone at it, but the second time I got involved. He saw Iclisa punch Violet, and ran over to them.

"Hey look, I don't care if who you might be, but no one has the right to be this crazy," I Said, standing between the two. "Now either cut it off, or I'll make you. Cause I'm not afraid to hit a girl."

"You pathetic little boy, like you could stop me," Iclisa spat, and threw a punch at me, I ducked, and dug my fist into her stomach, she took a step back winded. Using the split second I had, I ran to the front desk, and grabbed the knife the teacher had been using. Iclisa had recovered by then, and was charging me, I dodged again, and got behind her. Pulling one of her hands back, and using my spare arm to place the knife at her neck.

"Now give up, or I'll cut your head off," I said. She laughed, and used her spare hand, and grabbed my balls, and squeezed. I fell to the ground in pain, and dropped the knife. Which she picked up, and stabbed me with right below my left shoulder.
