Keystone Outcasts

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe chuckles and looks at the teacher, "Something is making me think that you all all people aren't afraid of the principles office," she says with a laugh, she looks at her notebook and smiles, "I'm sure we'll get on perfectly," she adds, not bothering to be quiet.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Lee smiled, but stayed quiet. He didn't want to get sent to the principles office on his first day. He usually would have rebelled but, considering it was his final year and he was already failing maths, he really ought to buckle down and get his study on. He sighs, beginning to answer some of the questions on the board. Or well, trying to. He didn't get past question one before the questions changed and the lesson kept moving on and on, the teachers watchful eye on him constantly. Lee was itching for break to just begin already, and soon enough, it did. He stands up, packing away his things, before waiting for Chloe.


(sorry about such a short lesson/time skip, I really hate maths >.>)

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe yawns as to her the class seemed to drag and she was thankful to finally stands when her it's finished. She places her stuff into the bag and smiles at Lee, wanting to get out if the classroom as soon as possible.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Lee begins to walk out of the classroom. "Looks like you're hanging with us from now on, so I'll take you to the wall. The graffiti wall. Well, it used to be a graffiti wall until they painted over it, but the name stuck so it's still called that. Now if you graffiti on it you get suspended, it sucks." He sighs as he leads her to the wall. He gets there and notices that everyone else was already there.


Melanie was laying on the floor on her back, her arms spread around her head and her eyes shut, "Lee, your footsteps are heavier than elephants," she mumbles, when she hears him approach. She sits upright and looks over at him and Chloe, smiling a little. "Now that we're all here, I have another thing to propose."


Robbie was leaning against the wall, his hands in his jacket pockets, and his eyes on the ground. He was sort of nervous around Chloe, just because he'd never really spoken to her before. She didn't look intimidating or anything, he was just scared she'd feign sympathy or something. He looks over at Melanie. "Oh you're just full of great proposals, go ahead."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe laughs at Melanie's comment as they arrive at the wall, she looks at everyone and smiles at Robbie. She brings a hand through her hair and smiles at them, standing quite awkwardly, being new to all this friend stuff.


Joshua smiles at them looking at everyone and leans against the wall. He looks at Lee and then at Robbie before turning to Melanie.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Melanie grins, looking up at everyone considering they were all stood and she was still sat down on the floor. "Right, well, I thought, y'know, we've all had some rough times this summer, or this lifetime. Whatever." She looks at each of them in turn, "and I thought that we could all go up to the den this weekend." She grins a little, "I'll bring my portable speaker for my phone, we can listen to music. We'll need candles seen as you buggered the electric," she points at Lee, "And I'll need you to bring the drinks," She nods at Robbie, then claps her hands together, "Sound like a plan?"


Lee grins and jumps up and down a little, "Hell yeah that sounds like a plan, I'll be in charge of bringing my guitar so I can play chill music 'n stuff. And I'll bring food." He always brought the food, just because he was the one who ate most of it. He looks at Melanie and grins, already excited for the weekend.


"Well I'll bring the candles and other musical means, and I'll also bring the grass." She nods her head and looks at Joshua and Robbie. "Can you make it?" She asks Robbie.


Robbie bites his lip and thinks about his schedule. "I think I got some scans or something that day." He shrugs his shoulders, licking his lips nervously.


Lee walks over to him and puts his hands on his shoulders, "Robbie. Rob. My buddie. My pal. Roberto. Robert. Emerson. Cancer kid. Hairless cat." He looks him in the eyes, "You are coming. Even if you feel sick after treatment, you are still coming and we are still going to get you wrecked. Okay? Okay."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Josh nods and looks at everyone, and then glances at Chloe, smiling, "It's going to be fun, better than being stuck anywhere else!" He mutters.


Chloe smiles at them all, she liked how close they all were and yet all different at the same time. She looks at each one of them and then looks off into the distance. She glances at Lee and smiles.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"What about it Canada? You in?" Lee says, wrapping his arm around Robbie's shoulder. "We don't bite," He jokes, grinning at her. He liked Chloe, she seemed like she didn't give a crap, she seemed like one of them.


"Well, we don't, but Joshua does." Melanie says, using her hands to push herself to her feet and standing in front of Chloe. "He bites. He's like a dog. You gotta kick him down, tell him no." She says, walking over to Josh and grinning up at him before poking him on the nose. "Bad dog." She laughs a little, high pitched and genuine, before jumping up and down on the spot. "No but seriously, you should come on Saturday, both you and you," she says pointing at Chloe and then at Robbie. "No buts. I'll get my brother to pick you all up."


Robbie sighs and shrugs Lee's arms off his shoulder, smiling a little, "Alright. We'll see. But I ain't coming if I feel like I'm gonna barf." He holds up his hands in defence.


Melanie glares at him and lifts her hand up, pointing at him, "I said no buts."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Josh scrunches up his nose and fakes a growl at her, before bursting out into a loud laugh. He smiles at Robbie and looks at Chloe, "I won't bite, promise." He says flicking Melanie lightly on the forehead.


Chloe laughs, "I'll see what I can do, my mum gets worried when I'm out.." She says, trailing off, not prepared to answer why that was. She smiles and then looks at them all, "And to think I thought today would go badly. Other than becoming enemies with a cheerleader, I think I've done alright so far." She says with a small laugh.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Melanie flicks him on the chest before grinning and turning to look at Chloe, "No way! Which cheerleader. I hope its Mandy. She sucks, in more than one way." She smirks a little before putting her index finger in her mouth and biting down on it.


This caused Lee to go bright red, and he turned around, "Melanie, don't ever do that. Never again." He put a hand to his forehead and began to laugh, before turning to look at her. "But seriously what did the cheerleader look like? Was she like, this height, blonde hair? Caked on makeup?" He asks, gesturing to about his chin height.


Robbie tuts and shakes his head, "No man, you got the height all wrong." He grabs Lee's arm and moves it to just below his hip bones. "Thats where we usually see her." He grins a little and Lee smacks him on the back of his head playfully, moving his hand back into his pocket.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Joshua laughs at them, "Guys, I think she gets the gist of things when it comes to Mandy." He says watching then.


Chloe laughs, looking at Lee's red face, "Ew, you and her? Seriously, where are the standards, she doesn't even come within average, I mean, there's better category's, like attractive and awesomely fucking hot but you went all the way to ugly?!" She says with a laugh, looking at Lee,, "I think it's her, you all described her the way I saw her. I think I said something like 'Hey, leave her alone, cakeface' she was bullying a ginger girl." She explains with a laugh.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Lee covers his face with his hands and grins a little, "it wasn't a thing, it was just one night. She was easy, alright?" He looks away and licks his lips, his grin fading into a smile.


Melanie laughs a little, and when she hears about the ginger girl, she puts her hands to her mouth. "You stood up for Lydia?! Damn girl that was a bad move and you don't even know it yet." She punches Josh's shoulder gently and begins to circle the group, messing with her hair as she walked.


Robbie looks from Lee to Chloe, then from Melodie to Chloe, "She doesn't mean that Lydia's a bad person or anything, just that you shouldn't really... She's Mandy's favourite prey. So you've basically just dug a grave for yourself." He explains.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe smiles, "Okay, okay." She says with a laugh, watching him. She turns to Melanie and laughs slightly, "I'm sure I'll be fine, what's the worst that could happen? She throws me off the top of the pyramid, throws a milkshake over my head?" She says before looking at Robbie and smiling, "I'm met people like Mandy before, I've been like her, not the jumping on anything with a pulse, but the mean cheerleader thing. And if I'm honest, I'll dig the grave and sit in it whilst I wait for her, people like that, they don't scare me." She says, remembering the days she was a cheerleader.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Lee's ears perked up when she said that and he turned quickly and looked at her, one hand on his hip. "Does that mean that you're flexible?" He asks, biting his lip and winking at her.


Melanie happened to be walking behind him at that point, because when he said it she smacked him round the back of the head, not quite as gently as she should have. "Whore." She grumbles, before continuing to walk in the circle.


Robbie grins at watching Lee get hit, and leans against the graffiti wall, his hands in his pockets. He bites his lip and looks at Chloe. "You don't look like a cheerleader." He points out.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe laughs and scrunches her nose, "Maybe I am flexible, but you won't be finding out anytime soon." She says, laughing as Melanie hits him.


Josh laughs clapping his hands, "Damn, guess you're out of luck Lee." He says looking at everyone and laughing again.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Lee blushes again and holds up his hands in defence, "A'ight, hint taken. You don't want a piece of this." He says, gesturing to his body and pulling a pose much like a model would on a catwalk.


Melanie shook her head, "I don't think anyone wants a piece of that. At all. I don't think even Mandy would want that again." She laughs, genuinely, and stops circling the group.


Lee frowns, "No need to be so mean." He pouts and looks away from them all. "Screw you guys. I'm going to elective. You best be nice to me later at lunch." He walks away, even though there was still time left of break.


Robbie watches him go, grinning a little, he scratches his head, before sorting out his hat which had got sort of lopsided when Lee had hit him on the back of the head.


(Just letting you know, that elective one is the first choice you put in your elective section, so for Chloe its drama, and then for Joshua it's English lit :3)

 

[CrystalSmith]

Joshua laughs again and heads to English Lit. He walks slower without his friends, avoiding the crowds and sitting in class, sighing as he relaxes slightly. He liked the new girl Chloe, she was different.


Chloe heads to drama, sitting on the floor and groaning slightly when she sees Mandy in her class, "Today I might just died." She mutters, as the girl gives her a death stare.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Melanie walks to textiles, the only lesson which she really paid attention to. She often made a lot of her clothes in that lesson, and her teacher was very supportive of her ideas. However, while she loved textiles, she didn't think she could quite hack two hours of it in a row before lunch. Especially when it was only her in the class with none of her friends.


Robbie walked to art, and sat at the back of the classroom as always, alone on a table with just his notebooks in front of him. He opened it, flicking through some of his recent stuff, and began to draw the usual, The Glove and Nursey Worsey. The Glove being the villain who pushed him, who drew the circle of death on his superheroes chest. And Nursey Worsey being the sexually pleasing villains sidekick.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe smiles sweetly, "Damn, what you looking at? Maybe I didn't get it clear before, I'll spell it out for you blondie, I don't like you, i don't want to like you. You are nothing, got it." She says before moving and sitting down, reading the script she was given by the teacher.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

(Mind if we timeskip these two lessons? Just because it's two hours of nothing really xD )

 

[CrystalSmith]

(Yeah, that's fine.)

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Lee walked out of music with a grin on his face, and he walked to the cafeteria. He quickly grabbed his lunch, managing to slip into the front of the queue without too many people complaining, and bought a slice of pizza and a bottle of fanta. He walked over to the table that they usually sat on, though no one was there yet, and sat down.


Melanie walked out of textiles, her hair falling out of her bun so she simply took it down, flicking it over her shoulder as she walked. She walked to the cafeteria, and walked to the queue with the shortest line, buying a bottle of orange juice and a cookie, before sitting down next to Lee and leaning her head against his shoulder. "Textiles sucks," she complains.


Robbie left the art room, his things packed into his bag as carelessly as usual, and walked across the hall, and waited outside of the drama room for Chloe. He felt like it was probably the polite thing to do, considering she didn't know where they sat for lunch.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Chloe smiles at Robbie, the one person she hadn't reply spoken too much, "Hey, thanks for coming and waiting for me." She says, grinning. She brings and hand through her hair and smiles.


Josh heads to their usual table and sits on the opposite side of Lee. He smiles, "English sucked." He mutters.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Lee groans and looks at the two of them, "Both of your classes seemed to have sucked. Music was great, by the way, you know that Lori or whatever her name is? Totally hot. She kept staring at me, it was great and-"


Melanie hits him in the chest to shut him up. "Seriously Lee, keep your dick in your pants for like five minutes? Or just don't think with it." She tuts, "Seriously, by the end of the year you'll have shagged everyone," she mumbles, shaking her head.


Robbie smiles at her and shrugs his shoulders, pulling his jacket out of his bag and pulling it on over his shirt. He zips it up. "I thought you might need showing to the table, considerin' we don't sit by the wall at lunch." He begins to walk in the direction of the cafeteria, and scratches his head then fixes his hat.

(And a random gif of him >.> I love him too much )​

 

[CrystalSmith]

Joshua laughs, "C'mon, us guys like to think about these thjngs Mel, let us think." He says with a small grin.
