Boarding School: The Next Generation

Avaline

He tickled me endlessly and I laughed as hard as ever. But the tickles eventually stopped and we just stayed in sioence for a bit. But I feel the need to look at him and yes, i did look at him. He looked good, quite handsome. And I found him looking at me.
"What?" he asked, smiling. "Got something weird?"
I laughed slightly, blushing a bit when he asked why I was looking at him.
"Well, you are sitting next to me, I'm supposed to look at you, or what? do you want me to ignore you" I said, not actually meaning the part of ignoring.
"No, just asking, Frenchy" he said laughing and I pursed my lips and narrowed my eyes. Yeah, funny joke, now everyone called me Frenchy.
"Wanna go outside?" he asked me. "For a while"
I thought about it: jackie was dancing with some other bunch of girls, Mary included, Mykolas and Cornelia were long gone, so...
"yeah, seems like my friends are dancing"
I said as we got up and headed outside.

Mary

Travis came over to where Mary stood with Mel and Jackie, as if he was going to ask Mary to dance or at least talk to her or something. But, Mel changed the song and got everyone dancing before he was able to open his mouth. Mary made sure to dance near him anyways.

Mary laughed at Travis' attempts at coordinated dancing. His face went red and he turned to leave the dancefloor.

"No, wait!" she said, grabbing his arm. "Don't leave. I didn't mean to laugh at you. You're dancing is just terrible." Mary couldn't help but laugh again.

Travis was obviously not enjoying being laughed at.

"I'm sorry, I really am," Mary insisted. "You're dancing is very cute."

Travis rolled his eyes. "Yes, stumbling around on a dancefloor is the new cute."

Mary nodded and laughed again. Suddenly, the song changed to a slow one. Everyone began to couple up again. Mary and Travis soon found themselves standing awkwardly in the middle of the dancefloor.

"Do you want to dance?" Travis asked eventually.

Mary smiled. "I'd love to."

*Maybe Lily and Jack can be friends or something, as Jack is currently out of the loop. Maybe she can be his roommate or something. I think one of his other ones isn't in the storybook anymore.*

**Haha, yeah, it looks like Jonathan is all alone. Kyleigh and Ed haven't posted in a while.**

JONATHAN

Jonathan walked with Avaline outside. It felt good out but Avaline shivered some.

"Cold?" He asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"Fine," she smiled. Jonathan shook his head and took off his jacket, handing it to her.

"I'm used to the cold. My family's not very rich so I kind of had to get used to it," he shrugged. In fact, he was a foster kid and in a few of his homes he often had to fight for the good blanket or get stuck with a few sheets to cover himself with.

"Oh," Avaline said, seeming to sense his discomfort at the subject. She slipped into the jacket and Jonathan laughed out loud, breaking the slight silence. It so comical the way the jacket practically swallowed her.

He pulled the hood over her head and she swiveled towards him, sticking her tongue out. Jonathan shook with laughter again.

He liked Avaline. He really did. She seemed like the kind of girl that he could actually talk to without getting bored or feel like he was just talking to a brick wall.

He reached for her hand and held it in his, squeezing it and smiling.

Mykolas

From outside, the town began to flicker with streetlamps.
I held my hands close around tea cup and breathed in the warm smell to my nose while as the heat went to my arms.
"Is she okay?" Cornelia ask behind me inspecting violet who was now sleeping. I looked at Violet and look at the time when we discovered her. She was almost scared as hell and it took us to manage some time to quiet her down and make her sleep. Furthermore, there was that butcher knife at the living room. I wonder what happened. But now, Violet is peacfully sleeping on her bed cuddling a pillow. She look so innocent from the violet i know.
"Yeah...don't worry, she's fine."
"I knock on the otehr roomate but no one answered. I guess he must be sleeping or something."
"Desmond?? Don't worry, Here...want some tea?"
she nodded before she came to me and drank sip releasing it from the heat.
'i foprgot that its hot."
"Don't tell me about it." i manage to laugh. We manage to fell silent for a moment before i felt Cornelai's arms around my chest and her head resting on my back. I did not say anything but let her grip me.
She whsipered, "Please don't leave me." and i nodded as i manage to wrap my hands over her. Soon, i turned around, held her face softly between my hands and gave her a kiss.



Iclisa

It was a slow dance and everyone was coupled. It felt romantic but i did not let that kind of emotion let into my stream.
"feeling lonely?" Mel asked me but i shruuged.
"What do i care anyway." is hrugged as i gave a yawn. mel was alone but it did not matter. I decided to clean some tables or else the boss will fire me and ruin my chance for community work. Some guys ask me but i refused. After cleaning the tables, i went in to the kitchen and found the cook preparing to leave.
"Are you staying here??"
i nodded to the cook. He toss me his keys and i grab it.
"Cool, then do me a favour. After everyone has left, can you close the restaurant."
i sighed. what else is there for me to do?
he left and i placed the keys in my pocket and sat by the counter looking around at the floor. I heard a faint sound of a bell across the door. But instead of feeling berserk unlike last time, i began to fell sleepy. I gave a yawn before i take a nap...promising myslef to wake up before they all leave.

Jackie
Everyone was leaving, Mary, Mel and I ware left alone, the Travis guy had to work and Iclisa was just no where to be seen. I knew Avaline was outside with Jonathan but I wasn't about to interrupt anything, so I just let out a huge yawn and sank my head in my hands.
"Well, it was nice while it lasted" I muttered, blinking my eyes so I wouldn't fall sleep.
"Yea, it was good party" Mel said. "But it's getting late adn I think I have to go"
"What? no,you'll leave us alone" I siad, making puppy eyes while she sat back in the chair.
Mary was yawning constantly adn i laughed, our sleepy faces looked funny.
"Has anyone seen Iclisa" I asked them. Mary shook her head slowly
"Last time I saw her, she was cleaning some tables"Mel said.
"Oh" And let ut another yawn while focusing on something so I wouldn't just close my yes and puff...sleep.

Avaline
He handed me his jacket, even when it nearly swallowed me, I must have looked funny. But I just put it on and enjoyed the warmness of it. But he suddenly grabbed my hand and squeezed it, smiling at me while i just stared at him, smiling too.
"You're cold" He told me. "Isn't France supposed to be cold?"
"Well, I'haven't lived there since I was young, and second, I'm not dressed for cold weather.HOw would I know the night would be so cold?"
We laughed, Jonathan still grabbing my hand. It felt nice, he was warm; I liked him, he was such an easy person to be with and talk to. He just made me feel alright.
"Wanna sit?" Jonathan asked me.
"yeah" I said, quickly taking my place in the bench and making him let go of my hand.
But when he sat, the first thing I did was get his hand in mine once again.

Travis~

The night had gone well. I got my dance with Mary, and I got quite a bit of money. Iclisa and I were cleaning up so the cafe could close and the other people were leaving. I said bye to Mary, Mel, and Jackie and got to cleaning the grills. I was almost done when my phone rang. I looked down to see it was Lily.

I picked up. "Are you ok," I asked.

"Yeah, dads dead," she said calmly.

I gasped in horror. "What happened," I asked.

"I killed him," she said simply.

My mouth dropped open. "You did what?"

"I'll tell you later, the cops have already called it in as a drunk driving accident."

"Lily. . ." but she cut me off.

"There sending me to your school until they can find a relative. So bro I'm coming to your school."

I couldn't speak I just stared at the wall.

"See you soon brother," she said and hung up.

I dropped my phone. My sister had just kill our father.


Lily~

So father was down, now there was Travis to deal with. He had left me with our father just like mother, and like father he would get what was coming to him.

*Sure Lily and Jack can be roommates/friends.*

Iclisa

I woke up just in time before the whole of them would leave. I cleaned the tables along with Travis before he went to the kitchen to answer some mobile.
As for me, i gave a long yawn as i went out of the counter to hear my name called.

"Iclisa!" Jackie called me who was with Mel and Mary.
i yawned again and gave them a wave as i walked to them.
"We were looking for you," one of them asked but i just shrugged. I excuse myslef and asked Travis if he is about to go. I looked at him with his phone on teh ground.
'everyting fine?" i asked.
he looked at me and nodded. Soon, he came to me and walked out of the door. I managed to lock the kitchen and the door before joining with the rest of them who were talking to Travis.
"Just to tell you, guys..." i announced, "I'll only be at school after lunch. I got work before that."
But none of them answered back. i guess theyw ere tired as me.
We walked back to the dorm talking about how the party went and stuff but i partly ignored them as i look up and stared at the stars over me.
"Tats beutiful" i murmured.

BETHANY

Where was David? Beth was raking her hands through her hair. Where was everyone? Mel? David? Shane had business to attend to, but where was everyone else.

Beth went to Shane's apartment and pounded on the door.

"What, Beth?" He asked, opening the door, slightly annoyied.

She shrugged. "I can't find anyone. I sold everything you gave me anyway and I need some more."

Shane perked up. "Where's the cash?" He asked.

Bethany rolled her eyes. "Like I'd ever cheat you, Shane," she replied, handing him the wadded up bills.

JONATHAN

Jonathan held Avaline's small hand in his own. His dark skin against her own fairer skin.

"So?" He asked. "What's the topic for tonight's conversation?"

Avaline shrugged. "I don't know. Um, do you miss Mexico?" She questioned.

Jonathan laughed. "Honestly, yes. More than you know. It's like my one and only home. I only lived there for a small portion of my life, but the parts I remember are like heaven."

"Nice description," Avaline laughed. Jonathan nodded. After everything he had been through, that really felt like the truth.

"So, I know you already said that you missed France," he added. "Even if you only lived there for a small amount of time as well."

Avaline shrugged. "I suppose. What about your family?"

Jonathan frowned. "Well..." he didn't see the harm in telling her, he just didn't want her to treat him anny different. "Well, I don't really have a family. I'm a foster child. The new family I was assigned to is probably the first one who actually care what happened to me. I got into some bad stuff, but they helped me get through it all. They got me into this place through a 'scholarship' type thing. Grades are really important to me or I can't stay."

Avaline looked shooked. Jonathan only shrugged. "Well, it's just life, you know. Throws you some bad stuff and then when you least expect it," he squeezed her hand and gave her a crooked smile. "Something really good comes along."

Jackie
Iclisa and I were walking with a bunch of people: Mary, Mel and Travis. We suddenly went silent defientely tired and thanks God we reached the building on time.Mary was resting her head on Travis's shoulde, almost falling asleep as she walked. I could barely stand it, I was eextremly sleepy. So when we got to the building, Iclisa and I said goodbye.
when we both reached our dorm and she opened the door, I walked to the sofa dn fell on it, tired, Iclisa joining me after a while.
"I...am...so...sleepy" I muttered.
"I'm tired" she said. "And I hope tomorrow would be an easier day"
I heard her speak and i noticed she was speaking way better.
"Know what? I can understand you more now. You're speaking way more clear" I said laughing. she barely laughed but at least we wre here now. Preparing to rest.

Avaline
I was starting to blush, and that was not easy on me. It was getting late,everyone was leaving, I watched them walk from the distance. I knew Iwe had to get going, even though I really wanted to stay here.
"We should get going" I said slowly and quietly, still holding his hand.
"I guess it's getting quite late" he said, smiling at me with his crooked smile, nice smile. "then lets get going"
We got up from where we were sitting and starting walking toward the building, although I wanted the night to last.

*i wonder if we should skip a few days of school...to speed this up and go to stuff like sports fest or camping...should we...just curious..

Mykolas

I checked Violet one last time. She was sleepy, that was a relief. I closed the door silently and went to my room and lay on my bed. I gave a big yawn as Cornelia hugged me from behind.
"What a night..." she muttered with a soft laugh.
I smiled and closed my eyes after i looked at the moon from the window.
"so i guess that tomorrow's another day, i guess." i said not knowing what to say.
"Hmmm-mmmm," she said before she fell asleep.

i held her hands wondering on what had happen at the restaurant. There were so many things that had happened that i they could talk tomorrow. I know i may feel left out from their conversation but it did not mutter to me so much anyway. Besides, Cornelia would just talk and tell what has happened.

But for now, i close my eyes once more and entered my dreams

i dont knoiw, i still feel like we have two groups going, especially with me and lizzifers character, and id like to get us all together i just dont know how

i think we should have some camp or something and say that we got lost or we were seperated from some kind of landslide or something...just an idea???

Oooh, camping would be great! I can't seem to fit in Melanie. And there are two groups going on. Or something like that.

Its more like one large group, and then some characters are just more alone on the outside of it all.


And camping would be cool, I'd like to make David have to go cold turkey for a bit and play him going insane.

**Hm, sounds good. Camping would be a very good way to annoy Bethany and she just hasn't been able to fit in with anyone except David and Shane. ^_^ Exciting!**
