Realistic or Modern Cleartown High

[LupaBlackthrone]

Lupa walked into the cafeteria, glancing around with a resigned expression. Mondays were her least favorite day of the week, and Monday morning was just adding insult to injury. She took a sip of her coffee, hovering near the door while she looked for a quiet spot as far from the others as possible. It wasn't that she disliked them, she didn't even know them well enough to have an opinion on them, she just didn't want to intrude on conversations. She noticed a table towards the corner that was empty and made towards it, keeping her head ducked to keep from drawing attention to herself. This was her first day at this school, after moving rather suddenly last month, and in her experience, keeping your head low was the best way to avoid making enemies.

"Well they suck, then" He stated clearly, closing his eyes as he said so. He grins afterwards, crossing his arms on the table and leaning forwards. "But it's best to be alone if the people that you're surrounded by are assholes. It just sorts out who'se actually a cool person, ya know?" He tapped his index finger on the table as he said it.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Ashton chuckles and shakes her head. "I guess you're right." She says and smiles. She takes another bite of her apple and looks at her phone, frowning as she sees a text from her dad. She reads it and rolls her eyes. "So....." She trails off, not really knowing what to talk about.


(I lost juice... A whole bottle of juice.... Who the hell loses JUICE?)

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Nikoli looked around awkwardly, she wasn't as easy to talk to as Nemo and Leah, but he'd make the effort, she seemed okay. "Have you been in this school for long?" He asks, looking around and spotting another girl sat alone. He wanted to wave at her and get her attention to get her to come sit with them but... That would be slightly weird. He does it anyway, waving for her to come over.


(How did you lose JUICE?!)

 

[Aryn Harris]

Ashton shrugs her shoulders. "Maybe... Two years? Yeah. Two years." She states and watches as he waves at some girl to come over. She shrugs her shoulders, not really caring if she were to join us.


(I have no idea.... I thought I set it down on my computer desk, but it isn't here anymore. And I looked in the fridge and all around the house. It's no where to be found. I lost my juice ):. All I want is my juice... ):.

 

[Snorlax]

Nemo didn't look up as Nikoli moved to another table. He watched as Leah broke her granola bar in half to save it for lunch. Leah could be weird at times, but she was his best friend. "What are you doing later on today? Other than detention?" he asked her. He was bored and he didn't really know what else to say. Which, I suppose was pretty normal considering he never really spoke to anyone other than his mother and Leah. Today he'd met some new people, but could he really consider them friends? What could he tell his mother when he got home. 'Oh yes mother, I made plenty of friends. And I also had to serve detention. See we're so good at being lovely friends that we disrupted an entire class. Fun times yes?' First day of school, and he was already through. He sighed heavily and wondered to himself, what am I going to do with myself?





Reese had been watching people around the cafeteria for quite some time now. He noticed the cute red- headed girl first. Although she was short, she was easy to spot. She had a unique face, he'd admit it. Of course, by her side, was the freak boy, Nemo. Where could he even start with Nemo? Everyone knew he was crazy, why else would he have been institutionalized for an entire year? What a loser, he thought to himself. A couple of his friends came rushing back to the table where he was sitting.


"We saw that freak in the bathroom." they laughed. Reese smiled mischievously. He slowly rose up out of the seat and adjusted his letterman jacket. As he started to make his way towards the odd group, he noticed the weird new guy sitting with the lesbian chick. He laughs aloud as he sees the rumored gypsy boy waved over this new chick he'd never seen before. She was kind of cute. No way he was going to let the gypsy get a hold of that. He immediately went over to Lupa, leaning on the table.


"What's your name?" he asked, smiling heartily. "I'm sorry, but I don't think I've noticed you before today."

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Nikoli saw an obviously popular guy walk over to the girl and completely abandoned every train of thought of trying to talk to her. Jocks were no go's, if they claimed something, be it a person or territory, Nikoli did his best to stay away from them. Jocks were never good news to Nikoli. He looked back at Ashton. "Two years is along time. I think I've lived in like half the states in that time." He laughs and messes with his bracelet. "I only got to this town a few days ago."

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leah eats her half of a granola bar, then turns to Nemo and smiles. "I dunno, I was thinking of just staying home and watching some movies. Or I might go to the park." She says, she was in the mood to swing on the swing-set. She liked to go as high as she could, then close her eyes and imagine herself flying away.

 

[LupaBlackthrone]

Lupa looked like a deer caught in the headlights when someone waved her over. She glanced behind her, thinking that someone was behind them and that's who the male was motioning towards. She looked back at them and pointed toward herself, one eyebrow arched inquiringly. This thought was cut off when a boy came over to her, causing her to crane her head up to look at him. Being 5'00" really sucked. She took in the jacket, deciding whether or not he was a football player or just had some serious school spirit. "Uh..." her brain blanked out for a moment before the question sunk in. "L-Lupa! That's my name. And you probably hadn't seen me before because I just started." she stammered, trying to keep her cool. Despite having brothers, most boys scared her.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Ashton continues to smile and nods her head. "I think it would be cool to travel around. I really wanna go to California..." She murmurs and takes one more bite of her apple and gets up throwing it away. She returns to the table, but doesn't sit down. "I'm gonna go save the new girl from the populars. Feel free to come with me." She states and makes her way over to the new girl, sitting next to her. "I wouldn't fall for his charms if I were you... He's kind of an ass." She stage whispers to the girl.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Damn me for doing this, Nikoli thinks to himself as he grabs his leather jacket and gets up and walks over with Ashton. I've literally dug myself a grave. He'd never had much luck with popular guys, all the same, air brains and insults, most of them would beat him up by the first week, if he even stayed that long. If they knew he was a gypsy from the start, it was a less simple process. He puts on his jacket and moves some of his hair out of his eyes. Smiling a little at the girl and avoiding eye contact with the guy.

 

[Snorlax]

Reese smiled charmingly at her. "That's a really unique na-" he stopped as he noticed Ashton swoop in. "Hey hun," he directed to her. "I know you're all over sensitive and shit, but it's a bit rude to come in and start talking about someone like that. Damn, you must be some kind of hypocrite." he comes back at her. He looks back at Lupa. "Oh, so you're new? Well welcome! I'm Reese." he smiled at her while pushing back some of his hair.


Nemo nodded at Leah. "Maybe I'll join you. I dunno." Nemo hardly ever really left his bedroom, much less his house. School was killing him by dragging him away for so long.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Ashton smiles sweetly at Reese. "But it's true... You are an ass. And it's not rude if I'm saving someone from falling for your so called charms." She says sarcastically. "I don't know how anyone would date you..." She shudders at that thought.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"You should, Mo. I mean, I'm tired of going by myself and being looked at as if I'm weird. I'd rather be looked at like I'm weird with somebody I love." She says, a laugh escaping her mouth before she finished the sentence. She honestly wished Nemo would get out of his house more often, but she knows that he's not used to it so she never pushes it.

 

[LupaBlackthrone]

Lupa glanced at the girl and boy that had just walked up, nodding slightly at the girls whisper. She looked back at the boy and smiled slightly, the right corner of her mouth quirking up. "Well, you know. My mom was obsessed with Roman mythology, and one of the deities was named Lupa, and when I was born, I got named after her favorite." she replied with a shrug. "Don't worry, I'm not really his type." she added to Ashton with another slight smile.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Nikoli stood around awkwardly, pushing his hair out of his eyes. He wasn't scared of the jocks to be precise, just tired of getting the crap beaten out of him whenever one was around. They were all the same. He could just use a school without the hassle.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Ashton smiles back at Lupa and runs her fingers through her hair. "Oh. Well... Good." She chuckles and shakes her head. "Very cool name though." She adds. "Come on and sit down Nick." She says and looks at him.

 

[Snorlax]

Reese smiled sarcastically at Ashton. "Ah, that's really interesting. Well, I should probably get going. Miss Ashton here has killed my vibe." He pardons Lupa an ado and walked away. He gave Nikoli a look of disgust before leaning to Ashton, right on her, "You don't know how someone could date me? Maybe I'll educate you next time," he hisses into her ear as he grabs her ass and walks back to his table.


Nemo nodded to Leah. "Alright... Yea, I'll come."

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Nick sat down next to Ashton and leaned back in his chair, chewing the inside of his cheek thoughtfully. He was used to looks of disgust but every time it still made him feel like shit. "People like him disgust me." He hissed under his breath before looking around the room to make sure Nemo and Leah were okay. He looked back at Lupa. "I'm Nikoli." He stuck out a hand for her to shake.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Ashton shudders at the thought and shakes her head, clearing the thought away. She runs her fingers through her hair and looks at the table. "Well alright then. I'll make sure to avoid him at all costs." She mutters to herself. She smiles at Nick and turns her attention back to Lupa.

 

[LupaBlackthrone]

Lupa shifted her bag, tugging on the sleeves of her jacket, uncomfortable with the amount of tension around here. She dropped her eyes to the floor, stepping away from the other two "Thanks," she mumbled softly, and then shook her head, looking up at them, "A pleasure to meet both of you." she said, shaking his hand. "I'm Lupa, as you...probably heard." she lost her confidence towards the end, dropping her eyes again. "Thanks for the save. I owe you one. I wonder why he's like that..." she said.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leah barely hears Nemo's reply as she watches a jock walk away from a table, she had seen him grab Ashton's ass, obviously disrespecting everyone at that table. "Hold on a sec, Mo. I'm going to go deal with somebody." She says, then gets up from the table and walks after the jock. When she gets to his table she leans forward with her hands on the surface. "Excuse me?" She says with a harsh voice.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Ashton shrugs her shoulders. "And I'm Ashton as you also probably heard." She says and gives a small smile. "You don't owe us anything." She adds quickly. "And who knows why he's like that. So long as he never touches me again I won't care why he's like that." She states quietly.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Nikoli shoves his hand in his pocket and smiles before hearing Leahs voice dripping with venom. He turns around and looks at her, seeing her confronting the guy from before. His eyes linger on them for a moment before turning back to Lupa and Ashton. "Probably got Daddy issues." He shrugged and slouched in his chair. "But I wouldn't know, it's my first day."

 

[Snorlax]

Nemo nodds as Leah leaves him at the table alone. He watches. He and Reese had plenty of fall out before. And the funny things was that Reese and he had been friends for a long time before their sophomore year. He shrugged and looked over at Nikoli and Ashton who had found a new girl to talk to some ways off.


Reese smiles at Telleah. "Hey there shortie." He laughs as his jock friends laugh. "What's your problem?" he demanded, anger starting to poison his tone. "See, you don't just come over here, and start 'excusing yourself' in that kind of tone. I find it very disrespectful." His tone turned into full anger and his friends closed in on Telleah.
