[IMG='align:right;width:322px;']https://i.imgur.com/pXd0EVp.jpg[/IMG]Stu got up early in the morning, sang in the shower, and donned his tee and simple jeans. He helped himself to a bowl of Cocoa Krispies with a dollop of Greek yoghurt on top. Okay, maybe two dollops. Dad peeked at him over his newspaper. ‘What did you do to my son?’ He nearly spat his coffee. ‘Stuart, what did you put in your hair?’ Then he sniffed left and right. 'Is that my cologne?'

Dad dropped him off at the front gate. The boy got out of the car and squinted at the sun. The sky was a clear blue. The morning couldn’t be more perfect for his fresh start at school. He smiled to himself and smelt the autumn air and relaxed into a confident stride along the sidewalk. Suddenly a car drew level with him, and down rolled the window. Dad called him over in a hurry. ‘Psst. Stu, your flies are open!’

His mission of the day was simple: Blend in, stay out of trouble, and be everybody’s friend. Sadly for Stu, that meant saying goodbye to his necktie for good. It turns out this wasn’t such a big deal, though. The other kids wouldn’t let him forget it anyway and still acted as if he still had it on. As soon as he was through the doors, they were all chanting, ‘Hey, Neck Tie!’ ‘Look who’s here! It’s Neck Tie!’

They even had a song for him, which he thought was pretty funny: ‘Well wearing shoes and drinking booze, that goes against the bible. A necktie will make you die, and cause you lots of trouble.’

There was some commotion up ahead in the hallway. Neck Tie made a sharp turn for his locker right away. No siree! He wasn’t getting caught up in any trouble today, remember? He had a week’s worth of school to catch up with, and after school he still had to drop by football to see if Mason was there, so he could keep his end of the deal. He'd no time for any hallway macho bravado. He kind of wished the older kids were a bit nicer and stopped acting like sore losers all the time, though. How this school was still open with all the bullying and fighting that went on was a mystery to him.

Kanen turned to follow Alaska away, raising his hand and gently touching his bloody lip. Just as he began walking away, Kanen heard Ash yell at him. He froze midstep, stopping dead in his tracks. Kanen would've liked to say that what she said didn't bother him, he had been trying, legitimately trying to be better. But she was probably right. Kanen was a piece of shit regardless of whether or not he was sober.

His hurt turned to anger as Kanen spun on his heels, staring back at the smaller girl. It was a natural reaction for him, he'd rather be fuming than sad. "You know what? Fuck the both of you! You think I'm so bad, go call your dad right now and have him haul me off. See if I give a damn!" He snapped back at her. "I never asked for your fucking pity. Get off your high horse."

With that, Kanen turned away again, following Alaska down the hallway. His eyes stayed low, but Kanen didn't need to watch where he was going. You'd have to be stupid or from out of town to get in his way now.

Ryder

Through years and years of contact sports Ryder had never been in this much pain. Perhaps he'd overreacted a little, but the beating Kanen had given him had been completely uncalled for. Rationally, he'd known Alaska wouldn't be happy about his actions, but he hadn't expected her to be angry enough to break his nose.

His stomach churned as he watched Kanen man-handle his sister, angry at both of them and himself as he grit his teeth and watched the little brunette flee down the hallway. Chase was going to be an only child again, their mom was absolutely going to murder both of them.

'I started it..." The football player confessed after Ash came to kneel beside him, tears in her eyes as she took in his pitiful state. This day couldn't possibly get any worse. Shortly after Ash arrived, a familiar looking dark-haired girl came to kneel beside him as well, ordering the blonde around as she began to check on his injures. He winced as she poked at him, pain searing through his whole body. With wide eyes, he watched as she stripped off her shirt to apply pressure to his bloody face, amazed by how far out of her way she was willing to go to help him when he didn't even know her name.

"Didn't I throw you into an ocean?" He mumbled around the cloth, finally placing her from the bonfire. Everything was hazy in his memories, probably thanks to his concussion. There was no way he was going to be able to play anytime soon.

Alaska

The brunette slammed the door open to an empty classroom, kicking the nearest desk before she began pacing around the room anxiously. While she was beyond pissed at her brother, she felt horrible for hitting him. The twins fought practically all the time, but she'd never been mad enough to haul off and really hit him anywhere besides a light punch in the arm before.

"I'm sorry about...that." Alaska apologized, looking down at her feet out of sheer embarrassment. It seemed like disaster was following her everywhere, she couldn't even kiss someone without all hell breaking lose.​

Jace

Ash

Jace's eyes widened when Nova took off her shirt. And of course there were bystanders, and way too many that were trying to look at her chest. He angrily shook his hand at them, but Nova was talking and ordering everyone around, so Jace couldn't even spend a ton of time yelling at them. Plus, Ash was obviously upset, frozen to the spot where sh stared at Ryder, looking shocked and sad, and Jace had no idea what to do. First his unofficial girlfriend was shirtless, Minuteman was Minutedone, and Ash looked like she was about to lose it -- which would make sense, especially after what happened with Ryder.

"You're really stupid." Ash murmured to him when he admitted to starting it. In her opinion, that didn't call for both Kanen and Alaska to beat him up like this, and Kanen's words hadn't gone unnoticed. They'd just managed to make the poor girl who already felt horrible about herself feel even worse, and Ash felt like she was trying to keep a broken glass doll together with scotch tape. No matter how much was added, she just kept falling apart, breaking off piece by piece.

She barely heard Nova the first time, but then the second time she nodded her head, slowly, and got up to hurry off to the cafeteria for ice. Ash wasn't gone long before she returned, bag of ice in hand, and passed it to Nova. When Ryder mentioned the whole throwing Nova in the water, Ash smiled -- weakly, of course, but it was something, and then back down next to Ryder. She was scared to touch him, as if she might break him more, and when Nova mentioned the hospital and emergency rooms, panic started to wash over Ash and she felt like she might just break right there. First Ryan, now Ryder. Everyone she cared about had either ditched her in her time of need, or ended up in the hospital. What a way to enjoy her junior year.

Jace took his phone out of his pocket, fumbling a bit and almost dropping it, before he dialed and put it up to his ear. He let the ambulance know what was happening, and then slipped his phone back into his pocket. "They're on their way." He said and cleared his throat before adding; "So... Nova.. you can probably go put a shirt on..."

Nova

​

Nova couldn't help but smile as Ryder recalled where he had first seen her. He was out of it, that was for sure, but the fact that he had that type of recall was great. It meant that Kanen hadn't completely destroyed the boy's head which was a total relief. "Yes, you did," She nodded slowly, taking the bag of ice from Ash and giving her a reassuring nod. Nova caught her eyes for a second and held the blonde girl's gaze, mouthing a slight 'he's going to be okay' before looking back down to the tanned Greek-god looking boy who had been reduced to a crumpled, bloody ball on the hallway floor. "I'm really sorry about this, it's cold but it's gonna help," The brunette made sure to give the warning before pressing the ice to Ryder's face, one had holding the pack and the other still in his hair. The bystanders didn't bother her much, they weren't her main concern as she did her best to help the boy in front of her. Hell, Nova's want to help people almost made her want to become a doctor but... y'know... science.

It wasn't until Jace came back to her side, awkwardly shuffling and suggesting that Nova clothe herself that she realized just how many people were around. Still, she didn't really mind. The sports bra covered everything, she was in high-waisted jeans, she was good. "I'll grab one in a sec," Nova turned to smile up at Jace, an actual beaming smile. She was thankful that he didn't panic, and honestly really proud of him.

Shifting her attention back to Ryder, Nova moved the ice pack below his chin, and even she winced as she did it. "I'm Nova, by the way," Her voice slightly wavered as she waited for the ambulance to come, trying to keep the bloody boy's attention so that he wouldn't pass out. Concussions were scary, and she would know. She had had... a few. But didn't feel the need to think of those right now. "Jace and Ash are here too, we're gonna make sure you get on your way to the hospital, yeah?"

Not even a month into school and Nova had already seen more violence than she had in her life. Westbrook had an odd little community, but hey, at least she was never bored.

Ryder

Hazel eyes flickered back and forth between the two girls as they fussed over him, barely registering what they were saying as they tried to patch him up. It was humiliating to have so many people stare at him in his pitiful state, broken and bloodied on the hallway floor, but he was too ou of it to care.

“I don’t need the hospital I’m fine.” Ryder huffed, waving the girls off as he tried to stand and instantly regretted it as his head swam with dizziness. Maybe the hospital wasn’t a bad idea.

“Ambulance, right.” He finally agreed, leaning against the locker to balance him as he stood up with the help of his caretakers. He rested one arm around Ash and the other around Nova as he let them lead him towards the waking ambulance.

Chase had gotten about twelve phone calls by the time he got to his first class. *Ryder* *fight* and *hospital* were the first words he read, turning around to sprint back out to the parking lot just in time to see his younger brother being helped into the ambulance.

“Really Ryder? You couldn’t make it through the third week of school without getting in a fight?” The older brother chastised, shaking his head as he took in Ryder’s appearance.

“I’ll meet you at the hospital. Where’s Alaska?” Chase asked, earning a laugh from Ryder.

“Don’t know. Ask Kanen.” The football player grumbled. ​

 

[Winona]

After loading Ryder into the ambulance, Ash had headed to class. She wasn't really paying attention to anything in her classes, her thoughts instead filled with everything that had happened. It was only three weeks into the school year, and yet here they were, with a million different things.

Jace had left with Nova to get a shirt before heading to his own class, groaning as he tried to stay awake in his classes. It wasn't very easy, of course, and he did fall asleep.

It wasn't long before over the intercom, Principal Nona asked for a series of students to come down to the auditorium. Specific students, and only students of every roleplayer in this RP with all their characters, but absolutely no NPCs.

Ash walked in, took one look around at the students, and slipped to a corner of the auditorium in the back, where she could be alone, and sank into the seat, kicking her feet up on the chair in front of her. Ash didn't want to be here, and she definitely didn't want to be around anyone else.

Meanwhile, Jace walked in with his eyes wide, in fear as he rigidly made his way in. He apologized to everyone he bumped into before he got to a seat near the middle where he sat, nervously playing with his beanie still situated on his head.

Mason and Drake arrived together, making their near the front. Mason was annoyed and Drake was definitely high as he slowly took his seat beside his brother. Drake sank into his seat, and looked up at the lights of the auditorium, eyes wide as he stared.

Once the students had all gathered, Nona began to speak. "So, listen... All of you are here for a reason, for being involved in the fights, or the alcohol, or whatever other drama has been happening this school year." The small woman then stopped center staged, smiling widely before she explained what her plan was.

"So I have decided that you kids will learn to get along. And in order to do that, everyone here is required to work on the new play." She'd already kicked all of the other theater kids out of the club, deciding the play would be solely made from the kids. "No teachers will help you. You will select directors, actors, music, everything as a group. And this play had better be good, because the money made from it will go to help with the cost of medical bills for Mason, Stuart, Ryder, and Ryan."

Nova
​

Nova wasn't one to get into trouble. If anything, she was a peacemaker, she was the one that kept people from killing each other. So why she was being called into the auditorium, she was unsure. Although it did get her out of chemistry, so it's not like she was complaining as she made her way down. Luckily, she had just enough time between loading Ryder into the ambulance and now to run out to her car to get a faded burgundy sweater from her car. Which reminded her, she needed to apologize to Jace later, the poor sweet thing.

Stepping into the auditorium, hazel eyes quickly scanned the rows of seats for a certain yellow beanie, sighing in relief when she found him. Nova hurried over to Jace, taking the seat beside him and throwing her legs over his. She instantly grabbed the boy in a hug, pressing a soft kiss to his neck before pulling back and giving him a shy smile. It was obvious that the blonde was still a little uncomfortable, and maybe even a little angry with her, and she hated that more than anything. Disappointing people, especially the guy she liked, was far from her intentions. "Hey," A pout pushed out her lower lip as she poked Jace's cheek with the tip of her nose, one arm around his mid section while the other grabbed his hand and traced his knuckles. "I'm sorry about the whole shirt debacle, I just didn't know what else to do," The brunette smiled meekly at her blonde musician before her attention was grabbed by the principal.

A musical.

She was kidding right? Was there going to be some sort of punishment if Nova wanted to opt out? But it was more of a fundraiser to help the families of Westbrook students who were either victims of Kanen or just... life. Damn it. Nova sighed and melted into Jace, feeling defeated. "We're doing the music for this thing," The hazel eyed girl looked down at Jace's hand looped with hers, pursing her lips. "Since I'm pretty sure no one else has a ton of composition knowledge except for us."

Alester McGregor

Alester wasn't really sure why he had been called to the auditorium. Especially not when he noticed the people in the hallways who were also walking over to the auditorium. It wasn't his club of friends or the football team. He looked around the auditorium and not even everyone he saw did he know. He sat down next to Mason and greeted him without looking at Drake.

The night at the bonfire had been a fun one. He hadn't drunk that much, talked to a girl he didn't knew and hadn't had any deep and seriously long conversations with anyone else. Alester was certainly not looking forward to his first encounter with Drake again. Last week during practice he spent most of the time alone or quiet, but eventually he had to talk to them.

Alester was seriously surprised by the reason why they were all called to the auditorium. He was present at nearly all those events, but didn't really participate. School did ofcourse not know who really did what so they just called everyone up to pay for it. Alester did not found it that fair and took his phone and tweeted about it.

Oh, and a musical. Well if there was something Alester didn't like it was singing, acting or being put in a spot except the ones at the football field. One thing he was good at tho was leading people. Maybe this could be a kickstart for his social life again. Most of the people in the auditorium he knew, they were his friends or teammates or little brothers of friends, in the case of Drake. Well the case of Drake was a very special one. Since THE night Alester had often thoughts about Drake and except the ones about the eventual confrontation they were all fantastic.

So, without hesitation he spoke up "I can be the director"

[IMG='align:right;']https://i.imgur.com/5Mi2tyB.png[/IMG]Neck Tie arrived at the auditorium just a bit late. He was in the middle of discussing his catch-up homework with his science teacher when his name came up on the intercom. When he got there a number of students had already filled the front and middle rows, and Principal Nona was looking pretty serious fiddling around with the microphone on the stage.

He would have liked to sit next to Kanen. He really enjoyed seeing Empire Strikes Back with him the other night, even though he caught Kanen dozing off a couple of times as well as during the ‘Luke I am your father’ scene. Neck Tie had sneaked in the M&Ms from his lunchbox that he wanted to share with his friend, because he remembered how much he liked chocolate.

He couldn’t find Kanen, though. So his next best bet was probably Drake. Probably. And he was about to join him up front when he saw that his brother, Mason, was also there with him. Neck Tie had been mentally preparing to see Mason after school about their football thing, but this was much too soon in the day for that kind of aggravation. He decided to leave the front rows well alone for now.

By process of elimination, the boy found himself lumbering aimlessly around a few chairs, before plonking down on one randomly. Now he was sat next to the kid with the yellow beanie. It was awkward that he didn’t know anyone and he kind of regretted that he didn’t just go up to Drake. But it was too late for a change of heart, so he kept to himself and took out his phone and played Snake. Yes, his phone had Snake on it. Then the pretty girl came up to the beanie boy and cuddled with him. And Neck Tie suddenly felt like he was alone in the world and he slowly sank into his seat.

Principal Nona made a proud announcement, something about putting on a musical. Neck Tie had never done anything like a musical before in his life, and he absolutely dreaded the idea. Sure he played a bit of piano, and was a chorister at St. Catherine’s. But he’d never done any acting or any play or anything like that. Except that one Nativity play where he was a tree. And a pretty shoddy tree at that, because he tripped and fell on stage. So this was a disaster.

Neck Tie looked left and right. Still no Kanen. He wasn’t sure if he should eat his M&Ms in case Kanen showed up, so he kept them in his pocket.

When finally Neck Tie overheard the beanie boy and his girlfriend next to him talk about doing the music for the play, he knew he was going to have to put his life at their mercy. ‘Hey. . .’ The boy butted in, politely of course: ‘Are you doing the music? Cor, that’s so awesome! Could I join? I’m a musician, too.’ Well, sort of. Kind of. Maybe.

Grace

Grace made her way into the auditorium, the last few days were..well not the cheeriest. She was hoping Ryan would pull through by now. Her eyes searched the seats before spotting Ash. If Grace felt upset about Ryan. She made her way to her, giving her a small smile in greeting, rubbing her shoulder. Maybe in a way that meant, I’m sorry your first date didn’t work out? Grace wasn’t sure, but she wanted her best friend to feel better. Taking a seat next to her, She didn’t say anything, Ash didn’t seem like she wanted to talk. That’s okay. She’s here just to be here.

She was and wasn’t surprised at the same time. So far the school year had been...difficult to say the least. But despite the sadness from the whole week. Grace was excited for the musical, it sounded like a good way to get people together. And hopefully work through their problems. She smiled giddily, “Sounds like a good idea.” Though her smile faded, she didn’t want to be insensitive. “To raise money, i mean. It’s a good idea.” Why was she like this. She sighed. Raising her hand. “I’ll fill whatever part that needs to be filled.”

Raven

​

Raven was late to the auditorium, she quietly closed the door behind her. And leaned next to it. Listening as the principal talked, well..mostly listening. Her thoughts were filled with Ryan at the moment, she felt guilty. Like it was somehow her fault. Which maybe it was? Her mother wouldn’t of drove if Raven didn’t need to be picked up.

She nervously rubbed the back of her neck. They were raising money for Ryan, and other kids who she didn’t care for right now. It isn’t right that she knows who did it. But what exactly is she supposed to do, turn in her own mother? She doesn’t where she is.. so that helped. Well it didn’t.. But it gave her a peace of mind that even if she wanted to. She couldn’t.

Raven didn’t want to be in a musical, nobody was going to work out their anger by..singing? She rolled her eyes at the thought. But she wanted to help Ryan in someway, this was the easiest thing she could do. She was quiet while everyone talked amongst themselves. But stood there nonetheless. Awaiting for whatever she was assigned.

Rory Quinn

He walked to the auditorium before hearing the announcement. He had been in many plays at his boarding school and could easily be an actor, director, or play music. He was also was quite concerned when he heard where the money was actually going to. The injuries must have been really bad and they might need expensive surgeries so he was excited to make this the best musical the director has ever seen. "I can do can act, music or be the director".

Melody Wright

A musical! What fun Melody thought as she heard the announcement. Acting was her strong suit and she was sure she could sing a few notes. If she didn't make it past the auditions then there was always the possibly of being the stylist for the musical. She was down for whatever they needed.

 

[High5ives]

Kanen was quite late, as would be expected. The boy couldn't be bothered to show up for some stupid little meeting that was so obviously going to be one of a disciplinary nature. Of course Kanen wasn't thrilled to find out they'd be required to participate in some stupid play. That's the last thing he wanted, to be cooped up with a bunch of people he couldn't stand, let alone work with. Besides, he had better things to do with his time.

After the Principal had declared her little plan, Kanen stood from his seat. He wasn't about to spend his evenings working in this auditorium on some stupid play. As far as Kanen was concerned, prison seemed like a better alternative. To all this.

"Yeah, um...I'm not going to that." Kanen stated plainly, looking up at the Principal. "If you want charity, go hold a fundraiser like every other school in the state. This, is bullshit." Kanen stepped away from his seat, moving into the aisle and marching back through the auditorium, heading for the exits.

[Rock And Roll Boy]

Angelina was early, the auditorium soon filling up with familiar faces. She wished Rory would be here soon. Then Principal Nona announced they'd all be doing a musical. She gulped. Then she heard Rory speak, finding him and wrapping her arm round his. "Morning, love" she whispered into his ear before rubbing his arm with hers. "So what ideas do you have for this play"?

Wendy was near the back of the auditorium, sniffling only a little. She felt a lot better but she was still sniffling a little. Playing with the hem of her dress, she lowered her head a little as Nona announced they'd all be doing a musical together. How riveting. Not for her. While she can do a few things with machines, this wasn't what she had in mind.

Kacey Yealando played with her hair as Nona announced they'd all be participating and making a musical together. She chuckled under her breath. "Excuse me, new girl here" she muttered, not loud enough for anyone to hear. She acted oblivious as to why they had to make this play. But she knew why, due to word of mouth from a few of her... associates. Her jacket made a little noise as she checked her inside pocket to make sure her cigarettes were there, sighing in relief as she saw they were.

Jace

Oh no. Oh nonono. Jace didn't want to contribute in any kind of play, or musical, or anything that had to do with people in general. And now here he was being forced. Nova beside him, saying that they would work on music together, managed to make a little more relaxed, and Jace hesitantly nodded his head. "Uh... yeah... we can do the music..." He said slowly, trying to calm his worries.

He hadn't looked over at the kid on his other side until he spoke. Jace glanced over once, his eyes widened, and then glanced over a second time. It was the Petunia Pisser. And he wanted to work music with them, but... Luckily, he didn't recognize Jace at all. Thank goodness. "Oh, uh, yeah... Yeah, you can definitely help us. What do you play?" The nerves in his voice he could easily be interpreted as Jace just being, well, nervous. And not scared.

Ash glanced over at Grace, but didn't see anything to her. Instead, she propped her arm up on the armrest and leaned her face against her hand, listening as the principal said what was happening. Just marvelous. And Grace's enthusiasm just made her sicker. When she was young (well, just a couple years ago, even), Ash's mother had forced her into the acting scene. Acting. Singing. Even a little dance. She had enjoyed it, but hated how it was forced on her by her mother. Of course, she could still remember everything.

Kanen's loud annoying voice, stating that he wouldn't be staying, left her even more done with him. She took her legs down from the seat in front of her and stood up, yelling at him as she did. "Kanen, you're the reason that we even have to do this. You got Neck-Tie so drunk he almost died. You slammed Mason in the ground for who knows what." She narrowed her eyes at him, practically spitting the last part. "And you and Alaska broke Ryder's nose." Mason and Stu had been one thing, and Ash hadn't really cared. But Ryder was a different story.

"If anyone needs to work on this stupid thing, it's you. But obviously you're too selfish and self-absorbed to actually care that -- surprise! -- your actions have consequences." Ash said, glaring at him. No, she didn't want to do this play. No, she definitely didn't want to with Kanen. But she'd stuck up for him, and now look what had happened.

Kanen's eyes fixated themselves on Ash as she went off, spilling all the fucked up shit he had done in the past two weeks. As if he didn't already know. Kanen could accept that, whatever, but the fact that she somehow believed she had the right to judge him pissed him off. A lot.

"Excuse me?" Kanen spat back."Who's party did Stu get drunk at? Huh? Who's the fucking person that asked me to bring drinks?! Did you object when someone dared Stu to down that Vodka?" He paused for a moment. "Don't you fucking dare, stand there criticizing me as if you haven't fucked up too. If you really think I'm so bad, pull out your phone and call your dad. I'm Ready to go." He held his hands out wrists together as if he were in cuffs.

He stood there silently for a moment, stareing the girl down before his lips turned down into a snarl. "You can keep your thoughts to yourself. If I want your opinion, I'll fucking ask, Ash. I don't need to hear some spoiled, rich, brat, telling me how I should be living my life.." Kanen wasn't yelling, but his words oozed malice. He was unnaturally calm, but only because he wouldn't dare hit Ash.

Ash pushed past Grace, out into the aisle, and then marched over until she was standing in front of Kanen, glaring up at him. "At least I own up to my mistakes and don't blame everyone else like a coward." She snapped. "I'm trying to make a change. I know Stu almost died at my party, but at least I'm accepting it and not blaming it on anyone else." Her voice grew louder as she yelled, and soon she was on her tiptoes, hands planted firmly on her hips in an angry pose as she glared at him.

"And how do you explain Mason? Who are you going to blame for that one? Him?" Again, as Ash thought about Ryder, more anger welled over her than for the other two. Probably thanks to her already sour mood from Ryan being in the hospital. Just thinking about both boys being there made her sick to her stomach.

"Or Ryder? I don't care if he started. Who gives you the right to give him a concussion and throw him in the hospital? You can claim self-defense all you want, but we both know that you're just a sick son of a bitch who fights without thinking." Now, she jabbed him in the chest sassily with her finger, trying to push him as far as we could.

"So go ahead, get out of here like the little coward you are. We both know you need to before you send me to the hospital, too." Ash didn't think Kanen would hit her, but then again, she thought she knew Kanen, and now she was sorely mistaken. "So go ahead. Get out, and drown yourself in a bottle feeling sorry for yourself like your dad did."

Nova
​

Nova looked over at the smaller boy sitting next to Jace as he spoke up, offering a friendly smile and opening her mouth to speak up when Kanen unfolded in front of the auditorium... again. He was like a child, she swore it. Anything he didn't want to, anyone that pissed him off, he was like a ticking time bomb. She couldn't help but roll her eyes, whispering a quiet "Unbelievable," and averting her gaze. Although her attention was quickly grabbed again when she heard the angry screams of an extremely pissed off Ash. She felt for Ash, she knew that she had had a hard couple of days, but she hadn't expected such a public display of outward anger from her. The brunette winced as the blonde yelled at the tall, violent guy, squeezing Jace's hand a little tighter. Nova had no intention of stepping in, thinking that they would yell back and forth and then be done... until Ash went up, placing herself face to face with Kanen.

"Nope," Nova shook her head, pushing herself up from her chair and dropped Jace's hand as she scurried down her row and to the main hall, passing chairs and running back behind Ash. "Hey, hi, c'mon," Her hazel eyes panicked as she looked between the too, cringing as she watched Ash poke Kanen's chest. It was as if the guy was steaming... physically steaming. Afraid of needing to be nurse Nova again, She gently took Ash's arm, tugging her slightly and glaring at Kanen. "We have enough that have hospital bills. Maybe you could spare us psych bills too?" No specific tone laced into the brunette's voice, other than just sheer annoyance. She was done with this whole Kanen deal, she hated bullies, and ones that were physical were even worse. Now it looked like he was on his way to giving Ash a mental breakdown, and she wasn't going to let it happen.

[Rock And Roll Boy]

Kacey shifted through the little crowd, her shoulder hitting a skinny blonde. She said nothing, continuing to move past her. The blonde stepped in front of her, clearing her throat silently.

"An excuse me would have been nice" Wendy scolded the Korean brunette. She waited for a reply, the Korean girl covering her mouth with her hand. An overdramatic move, as if to say she was shocked by barging into her. Wendy saw past her facade. "Apologise for bumping into me".

Kacey shifted a little. "Didn't see you there. Won't happen again any time soon". She kept up her innocent act and tone, scolding a direct apology. Her subliminal arrogance showed a little.

"Not good enough. I want an apology. Sinple enough, no? Say 'I am sorry'. Come on now. Then we can both move on and ignore each other". Wendy tensed a little, barely containing her own arrogance and snarkiness.

Kacey couldn't tolerate being talked to like that. Being talked to as if she was a baby. Plus, Wendy blocking her exit reminded Kacey of her kidnapping and that sent a huge amount of anxiety and anger through her. She gave Wendy a glare, trying to move past her again only to have Wendy block her way again. "Move. Now". The blonde shook her head, wanting her brief apology. Their arguments got louder. Kacey gave Wendy a shove, Wendy staggering backwards.

Alaska

Alaska had debated whether she should go check on her brother or not, deciding that it was better to let them both cool off before seeing him and deciding to finish out the school day. She was sorry that things had happened the way they did, but she wasn’t sorry for kissing Kanen.

As if Alaska hadn’t felt bad enough already, Principal Nona had called a meeting to discuss the incident and reprimand them for the many incidents that had occurred in the mere three weeks they’d been in school.

To make things even worse, Kanen and Ash started to get into it in front of the whole group. If she’d realized kissing Kanen would cause this many problems she might’ve reconsidered kissing him in front of everyone.

“Ash! Leave it alone.” She spoke, getting up from her seat to walk between them in the front. “I get that you’re upset but you have no idea what happened.” Alaska deserved Ash’s anger for lashing out at her own brother, but Ryder had started the fight without any cause. It was a messy situation but Ash had no right to speak about Kanen’s father.

“This is between Ryder and I.” She spoke, frowning as she looked at the girl she considered a friend. ​

Sawyer
​

The last thing Sawyer needed was this stupid assembly. She was already becoming somewhat dejected, angry even, and this only served to make it worse. Sawyer sat slumped over in her seat with her head rested on her hand. Everyone else around her were going through their own reactions, some having more...exciting reactions than others. Of all the things Principal Nona could've made them do she had to pick theatre. She had to pick the one think Sawyer had been enjoying for the most part.


Sawyer could hear Ash arguing with Kanen but she made no move to look. Her gaze locked on the floor and her jaw twitched several times. There was no dejectedness left in her, now she was just plain angry. They'd been dished out a punishment and people were just getting to even more fights rather than just doing their fucking punishment. Sawyer jumped up from her seat, stalked up to the stage, and jumped on top of it.


"Hey!" She shouted, attempting to gain everybody's attention, "Listen up, folks. Everybody's gonna shut up and sit down and we're gonna figure this out." She glared pointedly in Ash and Kanen's direction, "I don't care about anything that you people might be mad at each other about. We're gonna forget all of that in here so you don't ruin the one thing some of us enjoy." She paused for a moment, breathing in deeply, "Now we're gonna figure out what the fuck everyone's doing and we're gonna do it efficiently, you get me?"

"Have I ever denied anything?" Kanen challenged as the girl shoved her finger into his chest. Kanen didn't budge, he didn't even sway. "I threw Mason, and ya know what, yeah it sucks he broke his leg. But that was a fucking accident, I don't regret that it happened, but there is no way I could've known someone would step on his leg." He spoke, standing firm even when Nova came to back up Ash.

"As for Ryder, maybe he shouldn't go around hooking dudes in the jaw if he didn't want his fucking ass kicked. You think if I was five inches smaller and fifty pounds lighter, Ryder would've hit me once and called it quits? He's no better than me. Not even in the slightest."

Kanen shut up when Ash brought up his dad. He was used to that type of things now, but it didn't make it any better. He huffed slightly. "Low blow pulling the dad-card. You pull that from Ryan's playbook?" He spat. He only back up when Sawyer stood up on the stage, shouting and screaming at everyone
