Kale Ivy Institute discussion

~RP

Cai stood in the center of the courtyard with his professional camera strapped around his neck. He was currently ready to take pictures. This courtyard was one of his favorite places to take pictures, especially when there were people moving about.

Klementina walked into the courtyard. She didn't see cai but sat down and sighed. At least there was a place she could think, where she could be without being judged. She closed her eyes and breathed the fresh air. "Maybe this year will be different...maybe... Nope it's going to be the same," she thought," It will always be the same."

Matthew was currently wandering around the school pretending he was 'lost' so he didn`t need to go to class so quickly. Shouldering his bag he scanned the courtyard for any body to bother. Tend to happen when he`s bored and seeing there`s no girl (I see klementina but not rping with her :3) he decided to do the one thing he never thought he ever do. Speak to a guy. Matthew was best at smooth talking to girls, but guys? No. Even his best friend was a girl for pete sake! So to make things easier for Matthew cover his eyes and pointed in a random direction. Who ever it lands on he will approach. The lucky winner was! Drum roll please!

Cai, or currently to Matthew, the guy with the camera. Approaching the young man carefully he made sure the guy was not snapping off pictures of the courtyard. "I always wonder why photographers snap shots of crowds. Can you help me understand this?" He ask Cai standing right next to him.

((I had this great post and then my phone froze. )
Cai replied with a smile " I don't know about other people, but I do it because I can tell things about people by looking at them in my pictures. Including you."

Cai had seen Matthew in some of Cai's pictures, even if the focus wasn't even on Matthew. Cai actually thoguht this guy that was stranger to him was interesting. He was always in pictures with girls and seemed to catch his eye, even if he was in the background. Why was that? Cai intended to find out.

"Oh? What can you tell about me on a 2D photo?" Matthew ask curiously at the guy. What he said sounded kind of creepy, made him wonder if Cai took pictures of him without him knowing. Could be a possibility. He never actually pay any attention to his surrounding unless something catches his attention and force him to look. Matthew would never know if anyone taken his picture without his permission. "I`m Matthew by the way and you are?" He introduce himself to the photographer and held out his hand to shake Cai hand.

Klementina left.

Cai shook Matthew's hand. "I'm Cai is nice to meet you." Cai took a couple second before answering." I'm not a stalker or anything, but you just happen to be in some of my pictures." Cai said with a smile.

Matthew shook Cai hand right back before dropping it to his side. "Ditto, good I rather have a female stalker mind you, a lot more interesting." Matthew chuckles, only partly joking. "So why are you standing here today? Beside taking picture but chose to take pictures of the crowd today?"

Cai loved question like this. He did not enjoy personal questions about his past. He worked very hard to independently to cope with the tragedies of his life and didn't want to go and open old wounds that were deeper than expected. " I love the courtyard" Cai answer undoubtedly. He continued. "Sometimes I actually just sit here with a chair and read or create."

That was a strange answer, personally for Matthew, there was nothing to do here in courtyard but to sit around. Unless your with friends or flirting its just any other location in this large school. Second year at this place and he was already bored with the place. Ready just to end this year, the next year and leave. Don`t even get him started with reading! Yawn. You clearly see Matthew wasn`t fond of doing stuff in general. "Sound kind of boring but that`s just me, unless something is happening here I don`t usually pass here. Currently I`m 'looking' for my class." He made a bunny ear gesture in the air.

Cai look at Matthew with a look of curiousity. He knew that people skipped class, in fact seeing Kale students not skipping would be a very rare occurrence. Infact, Cai was sipping whatever class he was supposed to be taking to be in this courtyard. "What class are you 'looking ' for?" Cai teased the air quotes with a wink afterwards.

Matthew chuckles at Cai before looking around like any minute his teacher will appear like the devil and drag him to Hell, aka class. Leaning closer he lifted his hand to create a wall and whisper. "Don`t tell but I`m suppose to be looking for the Government class. Shh." Then his eyes widen suddenly like he saw the most frightful sight. "I swear I saw Mrs. Strange very high ponytail!" He said in a panic voice as he lean away from Cai. "I dislike anything that has to do with the government. Have to hear it all the time at home with my Mother ranting about it."

Cai pulled up his camera and set it to it function that allowed it to take pictures in quantity, quality, and quickness. Cai took the pictures ina 360. While taking them, he saw Mrs. Strange as wll " If we get caught we'll see the polirics of the Kale Ivy Institute. Before we part, What team are you on?"

Matthew duck his head, a instinct movement, and slowly turn himself around so his back face the women. She shouldn`t be able to figure out his identity from behind. . . but then again he usually was dead asleep in her class. Oh dang. Matthew eyes flicker back at Cai face and shrugs. He really didn`t give a rat ass about the division between the teams or the invisible rules that came with it. "I personally don`t care if I am, let them catch me. But you seem like a nice guy and I don`t want to drag you down with my social suicide ship. I`m on the Purple Raves." Matthew told him now turning slightly to his left.

Cai internally smiled. That was exactly what he had hoped for, otherwise he would be unable to talk to Matthew in general. He was all in for the Team spirit, but only partially into the war on the other teams.

Cai responded quickly and sincerely."Well then we might be seeing more of each other. Nice to meet you and good luck to you. " Cai began to run away, not wanting to risk getting in trouble for his passion "Go Raves!" Cai yelled to Matthew and others around when he ducked into a random building.

(view spoiler)[Cai makes me laugh,Howard. I like him btw. (hide spoiler)]

You can clearly see Matthew lack the knowledge of most students team position since Cai was on his own team. He tends not to notice it until someone give him a nasty look or spit out angry words. Matthew has little Team spirit and a non-existing competition with the other teams, yet.

Matthew nodded Cai final words before he ran off. "Anytime and ditto." Then the guy ran off shouting out "Go Raves!", that guy got some guts to do that. Some students shouted the same things and others were pretty angry. Ha! He would have shouted back but Mrs Strange head jerk over at his direction and he quickly spin on his heel and will himself to disappear from her sight as he walk out of the courtyard.

((Thanx. I likes yours too. I efinitely want them to interact again soon. *feels awkaward becaue it felt like the words to say at the end of a first date no matter how good or bad it was*))

Cai had ducked into a building, but had stayed near the door for a second. He was able to see Matthew for a second and took a picture through the small windows on the door. He then looked at the picture. This picture truly revealed something Cai didn't know from the background pictures. Cai notcied now that matthew was more pure-hearted than he acted. Cai continued on, being careful to not get caught. Senior year was already getting interesting.

Clarice - having just come from the orchard - hiked her way back over to the institute. Seeing as she figured she had a bit of time her eyes flickered about at the less than populated courtyard and the front steps leading into the building. If we were being honest there was a part of her that wanted to sit there on the steps and just not go to class. First week was never a blast but Kale was ... well Kale Ivy was a bit different than any other school she had ever gone to. Of course she hadn't had a problem speaking to people and found it easier than expected but it was only a matter of time. Slipping her hands into her back pockets and informed herself that thinking so desolately was going to get her nowhere, especially here. And so she regained here pace again - not having realized she'd even slowed - and started across the courtyard, eyes flickering around briefly only to take things in for what would most definitely not be the last time.

After the incident in the music room and her first class, Nyla walked onto the courtyard, deciding to take a seat on one of the benches. It was a nice day out so why not enjoy it during her free period? Smiling a little to herself, which in itself was rare as she hardly ever smiled, Nyla took in the scene around her, the people that were already there as well, though she made no move to speak to them. If any were to come to speak to her, well that in itself would be a first. No one approached Nyla, possibly because she has this air around her that told people to stay away. Far away. Turning her eyes down to her lap, she flipped open a book and began to read as a small cool breeze washed over her.

(>.< that was terrible. sorry)
