Kale Ivy Institute discussion

~RP

After leaving the courtyard Matthew was force to play cat and mouse with Mrs. Strange. That teacher was one determine women to make sure every student in her class were sitting in there proper desk. She even told the whole class that she will chase you down and drag you kicking and screaming back to class then glue your butt in the desk. That women was either mad or passion about her students education,but he personally think its because she quite mad.

Now Matthew has found himself all the way out to the Apple orchard. The Apple Orchard for pete sake! Running from Mrs. Strange and her deadly subject on the government. The one subject that will make you want to rip your eyes out with a spoon. Matthew threw a caution look over his shoulder hoping that crazy women gave up or gotten lost when he cut through the Arts Center. Slowing his pace down he pause in his stride and wonder how long does he have to stay here before he can back track and go somewhere more closer to the school.

Adrianna swung her hips from the branch she was sitting on and looked up. As much as she liked the school, she did wish she would have people to hang out with and talk too. However a lot of the people here seemed to have there own group of friends and didn't seem interested in talking to her. With a soft sigh she looked up, and found a bunch of good apples staring back at her. Smiling, she slowly started to climb a bit higher until she was on the next branch. Reaching her hands out she realized she couldn't reach the apple.

Frowning, she climbed some more until she was high up, and her hand could finally graze the apple. She had always been short so it was no surprise to her that she had to climb pretty high. Well at least she had nothing else to do. Biting her lip she decided to jump a little to see if she could grab the apple or not. Jumping a little she almost got the apple. Getting a little more confidence she gave a bigger jump but missed. Jumping higher now, she smiled as she managed to get the apple down. But, she lost her balance and ended up falling off the branch. With a shriek, she started falling to the ground.

Chewing in the inside of his cheek he decided to go back to campus in 20 minutes, 30 tops if he felt like something was off. Never know, Mrs. Strange could still be on the prowl, still hunting him down and trying to glue his nice butt on his desk. Matthew was deep in thought when the next thing he knew his attention was snap out from his own mind to reality. Hearing a shriek pierce through the air his head swing to his right and he saw a girl falling.

"Oh shit!" Matthew curse out loud, without thinking about it his body move to go catch Adrianna. He knew he wouldn`t reach the girl in time before she hit the ground hard enough to break something. So he dive to the ground, arm out, and ready to for her to either land on him or by some miracle catch her. Really doubt it but his backpack would at least soften the landing for her. Just hope that she didn`t break him in half by the speed she was falling so high from the apple tree.

Adrianna's eyes were shut tightly as she fell, holding the apple close to her chest as she fell. Preparing to break something, she was surprised when the impact never came She only felt a slight bump, opening her eyes nervously she was surprised to herself on top of a boy. "OH my god! Are you okay?" She through the still perfectly good apple down as she scrambled off of him. "Are you okay?!" She offered her hand to him, completely forgetting that she couldn't weigh more than a hundred and ten pounds.

"I'm so sorry!" She chewed on her lip nervously as she helped him up. Quickly she looked him up and down, checking for some injuries on him. It seemed his backpack took most of his blow for the both of them. "Oh god," Why did she have to jump when the only thing holding her was a branch? "I'm so sorry, I'm new and I don't know what I was thinking. I thought I wouldn't fall,"She told him nervously as she shied away from him. Oh no, she was in big trouble now.

(outfit- http://weheartit.com/entry/52011700/i...)

Adrianna may have felt a slight bump when she landed on Matthew, but he felt like someone has drop a bowling ball on him and it landed with a THUMP! It literally knock the breath out of him and he was gasping for air. How much did this girl weight! Oh god! Hundred and ten pounds wasn`t much weight for a girl her age but it still was a hundred and ten pounds!
Nodding to the poor panicking girl he roll over on his back and cough.

When he was up he slip off his flatten backpack and let it hit the ground. Lucky for both Matthew and Adrianna there was nothing of value in his bag that he will just simply break out in anger for her breaking. Only his gold fish thought, she has made his middle day snack nothing more then crumbs. "Slow down luv! Before you give your pretty heart a heart attack!" He strain to her as he still trying to catch his breath. Matthew eyed this apparently new student with a straight face for a few seconds before he finally flash her a friendly grin. "Don`t worry about it beautiful, I always up to being knock off my feet by any pretty girl like yourself." He wink at her before he straighten up and try to regain what left of his pride from acting so weak in from of her.

Adriana was about to hide completely when he started talking. Almost immediately a blush covered her cheeks as he flattered her and called her beautiful. "Oh, thank you,"Her blush deepened as she spoke to him softly. Hesitantly she approached him again,"I'm Adriana. I'm new, I just transferred here from London,"Her accent was thick in her words and it would be obvious to anyone that she was British. "I just- Thank your for catching me." Her eyes went to the apple she put down to help him up. "I just really wanted the apple. I didn't think I would fall,"She murmured softly, looking down at her shoes.

"But now that I think about it, I suppose I would have to wash the apple before I ate it,"Her stomach gave a small growl and she blushed hard. She wasn't so hungry for an actual meal but a snack would do just fine. However she had no one to show her around so she was kind of lost and couldn't find the cafeteria. Besides she didn't really want to go there for just a snack. She preferred quite areas outside like the orchard. It was beautiful out here but she felt so embarrassed at what just happened. "Thank you for catching me."

Matthew try his best from to chuckle out loud in from of Adriana. You could just tell by the softly spoke to him, avoided his gaze, and the blush that over taken her face in a mere second that she was a shy one. No girl and I mean NO girl here at KII will come off all timid like. "All the in the days work Madam!" Matthew told her with a salute before he told her free hand and lay a gentle kiss on her knuckles. "Such a beautiful name you have Adriana,I`m Matthew and I think I can help you with your hunger problem."

Releasing her hand he pick up his backpack off the ground and pull out a crush water bottle. Matthew would have offer up his baggy full of gold fish but he doubt that she wanted to eat orange crumbs. "You can use my water to wash that apple of yours. You deserve to eat it since you almost sacrifice your life for it." Matthew held out the water bottle. "No problem, I would have hated myself if I didn`t catch you at all."

Adrianna practically blushed all the way to the roots of her hair as he kissed her hand. "Thank you,"She told him softly. "I'm named after my grandmother,"She looked down again, completely embarrassed and flattered all at the same time. "I like your name too, it's very.... American." She flashed a small and shy smile. Being home schooled practically made her a bit anti- social because of how shy she is from not having that many friends and always spending time with only herself.

"Oh no I couldn't,"She hoped her accent didn't bother him. "I've troubled you enough with falling on you,"She told him as she shook her head when he offered her some water to was she apple. "If anything I should be offering you something but I'm afraid I don't have anything on me unless you want the apple,"She held it out to him in case he wanted. Completely disregarding the fact that she just about broke something when she fell off the tree just to get the damn open earlier. He saved her so if he wanted it, she'll give it to him.

Matthew thought Adrianna accent was very charming. Made her even more cuter then she was standing a little way. He literally towering over her at his full height of six feet. Matthew had to bow his head to meet her eyes. "Thank you, that what my mum wanted to do. She refuse to allow my father call me William, apparently its very come in England. My father is British." He pointed out.

Matthew shook his head as he still held out his water bottle to her. "No, no your the one with the stomach talking. I insist you the it." Then a thought hit Matthew that made him smile very mischievous like he cane up with a very brilliant idea. Adrianna did say she should be the one offering him something since she almost kill him, not really, and kill his poor gold fish. "You know we can make a trade of makes you happy. My bottle of water for a single kiss from a very beautiful girl." Matthew told her before lean down to her level and tilt his head to the side. "What do you say?"

"William is a very common name in England,"Adrianna agreed with him softly. "I have two cousins with that name so we call one Will,"She murmured, looking up to meet his eyes. He towered over her, she wasn't that tall to begin with but he was really tall. "Your dads British?" She asked softly. "That's nice,"She gave a small tentative smile. "But your lucky your mom named you Matthew it's very nice,"She complimented. "And thank you for the compliments,"She told him as she blushed softly.

She gasped softly when he got near her. Biting her lip she shied away from him. "Um,"She looked down at her flats. She did say that she would give him something if he wanted if. "O-okay,"Her face was entirely red again. Walking up to his nervously she got on her tippy toes. Even with him ducking down onto her height she still didn't exactly reach him yet. Closing her eyes she leaned in but didn't kiss his lips but his cheek. Never had she kissed anyone and she wasn't about to give it away for a bottle of water. But his skin was soft and warm under her lips. "Are you still sure you want to give me the bottle of water!"

Matthew was grin foolish when Arianna actually kiss him. He didn't thought she would have the courage to kiss a guy she barely met just ten minutes ago. What a amusing thing she just did and with that blush just made everything even sweeter. "Awww! Such a sweet kiss! I think you heal my ache back with that kiss you lay on me." Matthew boast and lean back away from her personal space. "Yes I still do since you gave me that kiss. You know you could could have kiss your Di magnet tips and press it against my cheeks." He inform her with another toothy smile.


He uncap the water bottle for her and place in her hand before she started to retreat from him in huge embarrassment. It just like Matthew to put a girl in the spot and push then into doing this they never thought they will do. "Now try not to hide from me Adrianna I can tell the you wanted retreat back to your protective shell of yours, I'm starting to like you." Matthew told her gently tone-ing down his high energy self. He didn't want to scare this girl away just yet.

Adrianna blushed to her roots as he talked about the kiss. Oh god, should she have done that?! Well he did save her from most likely breaking a bone. "You said you wanted a kiss but you never said how you wanted it,"Chewing on her lip she just wished that he would stop talking about it. It wasn't like her to do something like that and she only did it because of that favor. Otherwise she would have never even thought about it. Hell she was shy for just talking to people and making friends. Never mind kissing someone even if its just there cheek.

She was a few seconds away from running off when he stopped her in her tracks by calling her out. As hard as she tried she tried to stop fidgeting. "You like me?" Her mouth opened a little in surprise. "But you barley know me,"She told him softly. "How do you like me?" She smiled softly and shyly.

Man! This girl just get cuter and cuter by the seconds! She's unlike any girl he met here in KII. Of course not all were mean and will bite people head off when they do the wrong thing, but most don't should the nice side of them. Adrianna has taken a whole new level in how nice she was. Blushing shamelessly without trying to hide it behind a snappy comment and don't get him started with the fact that she yet thrown an insult in his direction.

"Well because your such a refreshing sight to see! Most girls here at Kale are not quite nice to people. They tend to hide it behind a thick wall of sarcasm and bitchiness. You, luv, show it in plain sight and haven't try to bite my head off." Matthew told her with a chuckle. "Your a rare thing to find here and I would like it if you allow me to be in your company for a little while. Unless you have somewhere better to go?" Then he raise an pierce eyebrow up in a questionable look.

Adrianna blushed when he told her it was abnormal to be nice. Her cheeks had been like that since the moment they met and she hoped they didn't stay that way. "Well I just can't help it. I don't- I can't ever think of a reason I would have to be mean. Maybe the girls here are just scared of who they are,"She murmured to him softly, starting to talk a little more around him now. Even with his flirting he is one of the few who's talked to her, and tried to make her hang out with them.

She shook her head at his question,"No I don't have anywhere else to go,"Finally her shy smile turned into a happy grin. "Come on we should move to the shade, she went under some trees Taking his water she washed her apple and delicately bit into it, chewing and eating lady like. She didn't speak again until she finished swallowing. "Thank you for being so nice to me. No one else has even talked to me and if they do it's usually to be rude."

"Maybe." Matthew said, not wanting to say out loud maybe because there just big ass holes and they are born with an animal that some how found themselves in there butts. Adrianna didn`t seem, to him, the kind of girl who would like someone to cuss excessively in front of her. For her he will try his best not to curse. Matthew follow Adrianna under the nice shade of a nearby tree. Settling down next to her he stretch out his long legs in front of him and hands resting behind his head.

"You think to nicely about some of the students, Adrianna. True there are reason behind them being so mean , but most are just angry by nature. I apology for any rudeness that have been shown to you." Matthew sincerely said, throwing a glance over to Adrianna. He notice that she finally starting to relax around him and her blushing has settle down. "Your welcome, I don`t see why not. Your a pretty nice girl to be around."

Adrianna shrugged,"But some kids are just good at hiding things so it becomes hard for them to be themselves,"She told him as she got louder until her voice was at a normal voice instead of her usual soft. "I mean some people just need to meet the right people,"She kicked off her flats and walked around. "The grass is so soft,"She giggled but the water was wet so she accidentally fell but thankfully landed on his lap. Blushing she smiled up at him,"Your easy to talk too. We are friends right?" She asked softly, shyly as she blushed heavily again.

Averting her eyes she sat up, forgetting that she was sitting in his lap and smoothed down her skirt. She did anything to not look at him. What if he didn't want to be friends with her?! What if he thought she was needy?! Or annoying?! Or boring?! Or - or- or- Okay she needs to stop thinking or she'll scare herself and he'll think she was some kind of weirdo freak.

"And the shy girl speak!" Matthew couldn`t help but burst that out and throw his arms up in the air the moment he actually can hear her without straining his ears. Adrianna had a point but still some people are just to rude in KII. A collection of misfits with a bunch of money in the bank. Matthew was caught off guard when Adrianna fell back on top of him and he fidget a little. His body still haven`t forgotten the first fall.

Matthew chuckles lightly at Adrianna question. Were there friends? No, no there not and that why he`s wasting his time sitting here talking to her. Roll eyes. "If wish us to be of course we are, Adrianna. Why would I turn down another beautiful girl wanting to be my friend?" Matthew shrugs carelessly like he was use to-to girls asking to be his friend.

Adrianna stared at him before smiling widely,"Oh thank you! Your my first friend here!" She through her arms around him happily for a few seconds before blushing and pulling away. "Sorry,"She laughed and finished her apple. Getting up she smiled at him,"I have to go now,"She told him as she saw the time. "I'll see you later?"She asked hopefully.

"Um your welcome sweetheart!" Matthew said as she hug him. Amazing what a shy girl can do in a few minutes when she finally relax and gets comfortable. He wave away her words really didn`t mind the hug nor the kiss she came him today. "Awwwwww ok then love and of course! I would be very happy if you grace me with your lovely present Adrianna. Want to have my number so we make sure we keep in touch in this gigantic school?" Matthew offer her whipping out a pen from his backpack.

Adrianna blushed and nodded, excited she finally had someone to hang out with. Alright,"she shyly held out her hand. In the back of her mind she wondered if this is what normal girls do. Did they get numbers written in there hands? Maybe she was one step closer to fitting in or at least having people to talk to and not be such a loner. In fact she was almost glad that she felt off the tree today or she wouldn't have met Matthew and would have continued on being the loner she is. At least now she had a friend!

Matthew shook a finger at Adrianna and rather writing on her flawless skin wrote on a piece a paper. So if she, by accident, wash her hand and lose his number she probably have a spaz attack. This school was one mighty big one and you never seen the same person twice in one week. Matthew folded the piece of paper and place it in her open hand. "Just in case you end up washing away my number luv. Put this somewhere safe, I be expecting a text soon enough." With a wink and a flash of a very charming smile he got up from the ground. "Now I better not see you climbing up anymore tree for now on. Next time you won`t be so lucky." He told her before planting a kiss on her red cheek. "That`s for the sweet kiss you gave me earlier. See you later Adrianna." Then Matthew turn on his heel left Adrianna company.

After waving a sweet goodbye to her new friend Ace, Clarice had decided she need a but of time away from the hectic institute. After all she had free time between her last class and next one. So here she was, roaming into the lovely little orchard. Gosh this place was so beautiful -especially the outdoors. Some of the people had ugly personas but the little blonde was more than confident that she would somehow be able to meet and greet those that don't, and out up kindly with those that do. One can hope right? Hair pulled back into a cute little pony some strands fell back upon looking up at tree after tree, liking the feel of the collaborating colors if the leaves and the shiny apples. Clarice was more in awe than anything, taking in the light breeze and the fresh smell around her, letting herself breath and get rid of all the yucky thoughts she may or may not have let herself think since this morning.

Now that Matthew was in a better and lighter mood he figure he should return back to campus and "go" to class. Some will say that he was starting the year in a bad note, but he really didn`t care. His parents on the other hand will and probably yell at him for being such a lazy butt. Not his fault thought, school bored him to tears. Shouldering his backpack he let his eyes scan his surrounding just in case another beautiful girl decide to fall right out a tree just like Adrianna. Matthew didn`t see any falling but he did spot a cutie in the distance. She looks like she needs a friend, Matthew thought to himself. Turning himself around he made a bee-line over to her. "Um hello!" Matthew greeted.

Clarice blinked at the intruding sound of a voice sandwiching itself into her thoughts. Slowing her pace - nearly stopping - she turned to see a boy. Well he looked nice enough, perhaps she was correct in her thinking. "Oh hello." She said in return, lifting a hand in a little wave and then dropping it back down, sliding both into her jeans. It was sort of nice finding people that could and would just come talk to you out of thin air. Considering she could be quite the shy one, usually if you wanted to talk to her you had to be the one that made the first move. Clarice smiled over at the boy sweetly, having stopped in her tracks to let him catch up with her - which he did rather quickly so it wasn't much of a problem.

That was a first. For someone to right away think that Matthew was nice. One usually cone to that conclude after speaking to him fir a while but when they look at him from a distance they would assume he was a baddie. With his spike up style hair, his piercing, and the tattoos on his arms that he didn't try to hide they think he's bad news. Like Matthew will cause trouble from the start. Flashing a friendly smile over at the girl. "Would you mind me asking what a beautiful girl like yourself doing here all alone?"

"Uh," Clarice's cheeks flushed. So she wasn't judgmental, big deal. So she didn't much care about the tattoos, big deal. Lets say everything as a package was nice and her she had no idea how to respond to the compliment that he surely used on a trillion different girls out there. Shaking her head she gave a quiet laugh, shyly looking away and running a hand through her hair. "I just, um, thought some fresh air would do me good is all." She informed. Clearing her throat she gave a little smile - it was honest though, not abruptly forced of anything. "I'm Clarice by the way." the raver added, sticking out her small hand in greeting.

Yes, Matthew is guilty when it comes to using that line on every girl he stumble upon. He says it to break the ice, see what kind of girl they are, and it doesn't hurt to compliment a girl on there looks. Some girls, he knew this by experience, didn't think themselves as beautiful and no matter how many time there friends say so. But they do believe they are if a random stranger and if that stranger was a guy does. Anyways, Matthew sincerely said it to Clarice because she was beautiful.

Matthew took her hand gently and lay a kiss on it. "Nice to meet you, Clarice. I'm Matthew." He introduce himself and release her hand. "Do you mind if I keep you company? I have no desire to be alone, unless you rather be alone?"

Clarice shook her head a little bit, hoping that she had acquired the skill of willing blush away - she hadn't. She tucked her hands together in front of her with a slight puff of laughter, shaking her head a little. "I don't mind, I like company." She admitted sheepishly. Though telling herself that she really shouldn't think much of his comment, so tried to shake it off and simply consider him a friend. After all being me here she did need to make some more of those. Thus far she's actually found herself quite lucky with Ace's locker being so close to hers and Tyson not giving her the cold shoulder he seemed of suggest towards others. And of course Marcus the sweetheart - only to be led to someone as friendly as Matthew. "What about you then, what are you doing out here?" She questioned, tipping her head a bit, blush finally cutting itself short.

Matthew couldn`t resist the urge to want to reach out to her pinch her blushing red cheeks. It was simply and utterly adorable when cute girls blush shamelessly in front of him. It brings a smile on his face and even more so when they`re shy. "Great!" Matthew said happily and then sighs a little. "Well, I accidentally came out here after running away from my government teacher Mrs. Strange. She chase after me all over campus until I lost her awhile back." He gesture in the direction of the school and shrugs a little. "I was skipping class if you haven`t guess that."

Clarice peeked over her shoulder in the direction he motioned even though she already knew the school was there. No mystery there. She looked back with a soft look on her face in her eyes, "First week back and you're already, probably not the best for your grade." The blonde pointed out. Of course as said before she wasn't much of one to judge. If he wanted to ditch than so be it. It seemed awfully weird though that everyone here was so privileged and had this opportunity for education and more than a few three it away. She had a thought though. Unknowing of how many people were new and whether or not this was his first week or he actually was on a week back she piped up again quickly, "Speaking of ... Are you new too, or have you come here before?" She wondered lightly, biting the inside of her lip.

((Sorry that wasn't my best >.<))

Matthew knew that Clarice will bring up the grade this. It`s expected when you tell someone you were skipping class. He wasn`t planning to skip all his class thought, so he was not going to fail anything else beside government. He hates government. UGH! Someone hand him a pen so he can gauge out his eyes. "Only in government, Clarice." Matthew wave away her words. "This will be my second year here at the amazing KII!" He said as he throw out his arms in the arm in a grand gesture, pretending to be in love with the school. He wasn`t but you can`t exactly trash talk about the school in front of others. Some students won`t hesitant to cut his throat for it. "What about you? New or a repeater?"

((Its not that bad!))

Clarice rose her eyebrows in the slightest bit, thumb running circles over the inside of her opposite wrist. If she didn't know any better that sounded a lot like there was underlying sarcasm if not all of it was. But she couldn't exactly say she was in love with the place; to early to tell kind of thing. "Oh I'm new." She answered him, averting her eyes to the ground. "This place is kind of intimidating, even some of the teachers." she admitted? Peeking back up at him through her lashes, a slow and small smile painting itself over her features. "If it makes you feel better - well I guess you probably don't need to feel better pets say, just ..." She trailed off, shutting her tripping trap and clearing her throat. "What I mean to say is I'm not a big fan of government class either no matter how important it is in the future."

Matthew couldn`t help himself but raise a pierce eyebrow when she reveal to him that she was new. Not only have he meant one newbie he got the chance to meet another. This made he instantly examine Clarice and how she was dressing. It was easy to tell if one was new by what they dress. If you were a bad dresser then you won`t survive very long at school. Its a known fact that a stranger will judge someone exactly the first 5 seconds of meeting base on what they see and those 5 seconds were crucial in KII. If your present yourself properly to people they will give, depending who it was, a chance to impress them if not then your going down like the Titanic. "Almost nobody like government and if they do then. . .kudos for them. I know the school is intimidating but don`t allow anyone to see that, Clarice. They like to target the weak and eat them right up." Matthew bluntly put it. "And someone as sweet as you shouldn`t be targeted."

A cutesy smile came across her face and Clarice couldn't help a small giggle in return. "Someone as sweet as me?" She quoted, wondering if she came off so sugary sweet as he seemed to be putting it. Another thing about this school, you had people here that showed you things you've never seen about yourself before. She had always known she liked to be nice to people no matter who they are or what they're like - meaning whether or not they decide to be kind to her in return - but it had never occurred to her that people actually understood her efforts. "Well I've been doing well so far." She observed after a moment of thought, happy to find that no one has been what you say - ravenous or simply rude towards her. "...Thank you by the way, it's really nice of you to say that." It makes me feel good, Clarice smiled at him. (view spoiler)[In his observation he would have come to find that she was wearing a white blouse and a pair of light and faded jeans paired with some random sanders she'd grabbed this morning. (hide spoiler)]

From Matthew assessment Clarice wasn't dress bad. . .not exactly but its to plain. He didn't get a vibe from her that she would likely defend herself well from the harsh girls here. Like he said, she was just sweet. A nice girl who probably never though such bad things of people. Smiling back at her Matthew shrugs a little. "No need to thank me,Clarice. I say what comes to mind and sweet was apparently it." Then Matthew made a gesture that said let keep walking. He rather walk then stand there in the middle of the apple orchard. "I'm glad you have be doing well here. Normally the newbies tend to be scared off the first week of school. Who have you meant so far?"

Clarice obliged and began walking again, cocking her head, "Well I met this boy named Marcus at the dance, and Tyson McAlister too. And then girl named Ace. Tyson can be a downer I guess but as I said, I'm doing just fine so far." In all honesty she actually liked hanging around Tyson, whether he liked it or not was his opinion. Though she did hope if he wanted her gone then he would go ahead and tell her ... Something told her that he would. His personality seemed clear enough but she was someone that refused to believe that someone was incapable of lightening up even in the slightest. She peered up at Matthew, "And then you of course." She finished, fiddling his fingers together, weaving the small digits in and out as they went along, feet padding along the soft grass and dirt. "Anyone I should steer clear of specifically?"

"Hm you met pretty ok people beside Tyson." Matthew muse. Of course he haven't personally held a conversation from the guy but he see him around and heard things about him. He was a strange kid who mostly kept to himself and was tagged as an Hater in school. Everyone who came to school were tag with some kind of category no matter what team you were in. Rubbing his hairy chin he though about who Clarice should stay clear of. Some students will literally tear this sweet girl apart when given the chance. "It depends on what team you are in and if you care about the rivalry between the teams. So, do you care id your seen speaking to another team member?"

Clarice shrugged off the comment, strange smange he was perfectly okay to talk to. "I don't care, I don't see why I should care." She admitted, averting her eyes away. She'd had this conversation before with Ace, but this was different for one reason or another. For a second she was quiet, then, "I'm a rave." She answered after those few moments of silence. It wasn't exactly an awkward silence, not to her at least. It was more for her benefit to know if there was someone she shouldn't get involved with though she doubted that there was much she would be able to do even knowing that was the case. But still.

An amusing smile crawl on Matthew face when Clarice inform him that she didn't care much about the teams. She really should care if she didn't want to step on anyone toes. "You really should care, some people take it very serious on our team. Purple raves, huh? Nice to finally meet a member of my team." Matthew personally didn't care much for the team rivals it seem very pointless to him. This wasn't Hogwarts! Anyways because of Matthew lack of hatred toward the other teams he tend to also lack the knowledge of who is in which team. "Well, since there so many people on the list of don't-mess-with and avoid-completely-because-they-rip-your-throat out I'm going to point out some." Clearly his throat Matthew lifted his hand to number off the people she should be afraid of. "I will advice you to be careful around the Black Glaves because some are strong believer of the rivalry. For example Sadie she the big B of the school. She will tear your pretty butt up and her sidekick Ariana will to."

Clarice couldn't quite help the smile that was beginning to form across her lips as he ticked off one person after another. Honestly she was taking it in but at the same time was simply intrigued to find that they were on the same team. She actually hadn't met many people specifically that were fellow ravers. She wasn't sure how exactly the teams were determined but it was sort of funny to know that people could be so different. Giving one curt nod she tucked to fingers together and shortly saluted, "Yes, sir." She agreed though there was a soft amusement in her tone though she didn't mean to offend. It was almost teasing, only because she had mentioned that the team were silly. Like to know that there was a certain team you might want to back off on was ridiculous. She listened to him nonetheless, taking in the names while flickering her eyes around the orchard, letting the soft glow of the sun wash over her skin.

"Then there's the rainers. . . you definitely need to avoid Ripley Warden." Matthew smile faded as he remember how last night how he went on a angry rampage in the dance. He wasn't there but rumors fly faster then anything in school. The guy made a toxic cry and dump punch all over a girl head. "If you ever meet him you better watch what you say. That guy has a short temper and he will explode on you." Matthew warn her with a concern look on his face. Clarice wouldn't survive the guy insults and the thought of her crying because the guy made him sick. Matthew was starting to like the girl. Lets add another friend on the list to watch out for. "Anyways that's all I have for you, Clarice. If you get in any sticky situation you depend on ne to try to fit for you."

"That's sweet." She said quietly, a little blush puckering her cheeks briefly, swinging her hands a little as she looked away decisively. "I mean that you would help me if I was ever stuck." she added as if it weren't obvious there her comment was spun off to. Clarice peered over her shoulder at the school. She should probably be getting back soon. Though she could easily remember the names she had no idea what all these people looked like. Honestly she figured she'd find out sooner or later. Besides this place was big in general, it's one of those places were it seems impossible to run into someone twice - though she was sure she would be seeing people again. Looking back to him she slowed her pace and came to a stop, pressing her lips together gently. "I think I should probably get to class..." she said softly, biting her bottom lip because she wasn't the best when it came to ending conversations. "I'll be sure to try and take your advice though."

"Of course, I do anything for a friend. If you like to be friends that is." Matthew wouldn't mind to friends with Clarice. It would be nice to know another person from his own team. Which remind him, he should really find Fiona. He haven't seen her since, what? Since summer. Matthew notice Clarice came to a stop and he stop himself. Turning his heel to face her and nods. "That would be a smart thing to do. . . which remind me I have to go to my second period class." Matthew sighs heavily at the though. Placing a smile on his face he hold out his hand to Clarice. "It would be the best to try to follow my advice. I hope to see you around sometimes." He can see that she needed to depart with him and didn't know how to do it properly so he will do for her.

Clarice gave a little smile in return, reaching out to take his hand in a sort of deaparting goodbye. "Well good luck in second hour, Matthew." she said with a short nod of her head. Slipping her hand away she took a few steps backwards and waved once. "Very nice meeting you." she turned to leave, but before getting to far turned back with a few short last words. "And yes, I would like to be your friend." the little blonde smiled at him again and was off for good.

Matthew shook her hand and smile when she offer her best of luck in his second class. He rather needs that luck if he didn`t want that teacher to dislike him also. "Back at you! And thanks not leaving me hanging on that question." Then he wave after her.

[ I am so sorry if this turns out awful. ;-;
I don't remember the last time I roleplayed a girl... ]

Maybe it was the sensation that came rushing through her naris, or perchance the beauty of the light rebelling itself against the thin leaves and poking through in order to attain the soft grass. Whatever it was, Maybelle basked in the feeling it brought to her heart. Everything was simply...beautiful. It just so happened that the slim blonde found herself at the right place at the right time, equipped with the ideal object. Without the slightest of uneasiness, lean fingers took hold of the camera that dangled from a strap that secured itself around the back of her neck. The eloquence of her actions would make it seem as if the device were to be an extra limb she had been born with. Breaking nature's silence was the man-made sound of an electronic device turning itself on. “All right,” Maybelle found herself sighing through her teeth, letting the strap do the work of holding her camera as her arms came forth to grasp a seemingly firm branch. With the little physical muscular tissue she had developed, she was able to haul herself up...and up.

It took a few minutes and Belle had earned herself a few battle wounds (merely branch scratches), but she wound up in her desired spot. Right over top of her head, swung a reddish fruit. As time would allow it, a single ray of luminance shone on the directly on the left side of it, an unknown source of precipitation having formed a small dew drop that was taking its time to slip down the smooth slope, giving Maybelle nothing but very few moments to capture it. Capturing was exactly what she had done. Within a few seconds of span, with the camera held up to her face, the drop racing to fall to its unfortunate doom, a small click followed by a few more had done the deed. The condensed pearl fell without a second to waste and some sort of...victorious smile accentuated the girl's countenance. Maybelle now held a unique piece of nature, one no one on the entire planet would be able to have. She had acquired something special, something she would never see again in its exact form.

That was the beauty of photography.

Speaking of seemingly unique things in all their glory, where was Jason? At the thought, curiosity made her crane her neck in search of a male figure making its way toward the orchard. Had he forgotten? Not that it would come as a surprise or anything, though the small wave of disappointment pooling in her stomach told her otherwise. Slowly, carefully, Maybelle began making her way back down, attempting to not gain other lethal injuries (like branch scratches). Lucky she was to have gotten herself down safely, her pride quite satisfied to not have had suffered a fall even if no one would have been around to witness it. Eagerly, Maybelle picked her camera up once more and sat back against the tree's trunk and began flipping through the ten flashes she had managed to capture thanks to the advanced technology developed of multi-shots.

(It's okay!
I suck at playing the guys but your good at the girl!)


Jason sighed as he quietly made his way to the orchard. He ran a hand through his hair, wondering if Vivian had caught onto his nervousness when she asked about the dance. Probably did, he may have covered up quickly but she was no idiot. This was just so complicated! Why did May have to be the- He stopped himself, not wanting to think about her. The entire thing was just so complex! Why couldn't he be one of those normal guys who had love lives?! But just thinking about Maybelle brought a smile to her face. He was grateful that she was always there, helping him out. There was no way he could admit to anyone what had gone it, it was just too embarrassing. After all, what would he say? Everything was fucked up and all because too many people and factors had gotten involved into a situation that was firmly between him and her. Sighing once more, he rubbed his temples. This was exactly why he didn't think about this, it was just so confusing and he still had no way to make it all better. Not that he was even sure if he wanted to make everything better, in fact if he could he would just leave everything as it was even if it was awkward.

Forgetting those thoughts, he focused on Maybelle instead. Last night had been exhilarating, if anything. From where he lived, Kale Ivy was only a couple of days away by car. He looked it up, so a few days back, he packed up some stuff and through it into his car. He completely blew up the airline tickets his parents had brought him that would have only have took a couple of hours to get to school. No, had better plans. In the middle of the night he picked up Maybelle and they basically had a road trip to school. It was fun, just them two on the road. He remembered they way she laughed and smiled at his jokes. She was such a good friend. His favorite part, however, had to be when they took pictures together. Maybelle was like his best friend, he could tell her anything, even if he should hate her. But it became evident more than ever that he couldn't, she was his safety net, always watching out for him. He just wished it didn't have to be so private, maybe if their parents could learn to get along, all of this sneaking would be stopped. But he got a rush from it all as much as he hated to admit it. But he knew his parents and his would not make up, not after all that drama that happen between the teens.

Frustrating and confusing all at the same time, what a piece of work.

Sighing he ran a hand through his hair as the sun hit his bare chest. His run had taken longer than usual because of his encounter with Vivian and he hadn't had time to change or shower. He soon caught sight of May, she just brought a smile to his lips. Making a circle, he quietly snuck up behind her and grabbed her by her waist. Twirling her around in the air he smirked,"Hey little girl,"He teased her. She was just so short compared to him that it was hilarious. One of the things he loves teasing her most about was their height difference and how short she was. And if it irritated her, that meant his teasing was working. "So how's your day been?" His eyes had a glint of mischief. He just couldn't help it, he's always been one to get into trouble because of his mischievous ideas and plans. Maybelle on the other hand was either roped along with him or the one bailing him out of trouble.
