The Academy discussion

"It's so nice up here,"she breathed, smiling a little. She wondered how many people had found this place before. And then wondered why they would want to leave.

Rayne nodded, lying on the ground next to him. As she looked at the sky she remembered how when she was younger she would sneak out and sit on a rock and pick out figures in the clouds. She pointed. "A short man with a stick beating a bunny,"she mumbled.

She turned her head to see his face and narrowed her eyes. She hoped she wasn't blushing. "I see a very pretty mermaid beating the man with the stick now,"she replied teasing back, grinning wickedly.

"Touch'e." Rayne looked back at the sky. "Huh, I wonder..." She thought.

"I wonder why you're such a meanie." She poked his face, hoping he didn't notice her hesitation.

"Do you think classes will be hard here?"Rayne said thoughtfully, sighing. "Like if someone fails something will they be kicked out?"She frowned, hoping that wouldn't happen.

Rayne nodded slowly. "Okay. That's good." She paused. "I was just worried that bad grades and a headmaster and headmistress who look like they hate your guts was a bad combo."

"Haha. Very funny. " she rolled yer eyes. And elbowed him. "Were they also warned about how you tease people endlessly? Cuz that could be a problem." She grinned.

"Still." Rayne shrugged. She looked at the sky again. "A monkey on rollerskates holding hands with a dragon,"she said as she spotted it, mostly to herself.

"Already?"She stared at him in disbelief. "Didn't we just eat though?"

"How can I forget when you make it so easy to remember?" Rayne bit back a grin.

Rayne quickly turned her head the other direction from him so he didn't notice her now bright red face as she remembered how his abs felt. "Mhm,"she mumbled.

She didn't answer him and looked at the sky. Her cheeks still felt a little warm. She hoped that would go away really soon. "Alot of bunnies,"she said.

((Wow, goodreads was down for a few.mins that was weird O.o lol))

((Ikr))

"For the record I hardly blush,"she retorted, narrowing her eyes at him.

She frowned. "Hey at least i don't blush at the word bra,"she said.

"Okay, fine. Whatever." Rayne pretended to pout and crossed her arms. "Be all perfect then." She was a little irritated though that she couldn't find any faults with him.

Rayne hadn't expected this response. She expected him to tease her or something. She swallowed. "More or less." She averted her eyes.

"I...thought you didn't want to talk about..."She stares at him. She had been curious about this since he mentioned it but didn't ask. "Why is he mad at you?"

Her chest suddenly felt really tight at the mention of him sleeping around and the arranged marriage. All she could say at the moment was "Oh..." in a quiet voice, almost a whisper. "I'm...sorry."

"Yeah."Rayne sat up and crossed her legs Indian-style, hoping it would make the sudden painful cramping in her legs lessen. She leaned her arm on her leg and rested her head on the palm of her hand. "Now..." she thought, Now i wished I'd stayed. She stared at the blade of grass she was plucking from the ground.

"I'm glad you let me know,"she said. "And it doesn't matter to me, you know , about..." she coughed, awkwardly. "But... you really think I'd stop liking you for one bad thing? I've done plenty of bad things but you never judged me for it (although you teased me...). What I'm saying is..."She turned to look at him. "I won't let this get in the way of our relationship if you don't."

((That was cute lol ))

She grinned. "Well I'm not most people so it's okay." She felt warm and fuzzy inside for some reason wheb he called her amazing.

((:DD))

"Hmm..." she thought. "On the way here I visited my sister, but left after her boyfriend was... well he was just creepy. Then I came straight here and went to the room, met Dani..."she laughed. "She must've thought i was psycho." She paused. "Then we went shopping because Dani still looked all princess-y, and got coffee... oh yeah and I went swimming. But you already knew that."She shrugged.

"Wow, and you've only called me wild five times in the past thirty minutes, too." She laughed slightly then said, "Callie's good, I think. You know, I think she may be the reason i'm "wild," as you say. Cuz remember she used to take me to dance clubs." She leaned back and stretched her legs out, yawning.

"She's settled down some, but she still tells me I should stay as much human-like as I can, like her."She sighed. "She said she was thinking about marriage alot, um and she wants creepo-boyfriend to propose which I think is a bad idea but whatever."She shrugged, then frowned. "You know she moved in with him? I went to her apartment and she wasn't there. The only reason i knew where to look was because creepo told me it... creep. Probably for emergencies though. Anyway, that's how i knew."She shrugged again.

Rayne frowned. If creepo was going to be her stepbrother she didn't want to think that, not that she ever did. She looked at the sky. "She talks about our mom constantly... she never listens when i tell her i dont want to hear about how supposedly great she is." Her voice cracked when she said the last sentence, and she blinked away tears before he noticed.

"No, she basically tossed me in the ocean as soon as i was born,"Rayne sighed. "My sister was there... She told me she was glad I didn't hear what mom said..." She laughed a little ruefully. "Yeah, but I did. She said: 'I wish you would drown.'" She looked at Zach. "Did you know your human parent?"

She shrugged, as if it was no big deal. "Yeah, I think she was pissed that I wasn't 'normal' like Callie. But I guess it doesn't matter cuz she left us both anyway," she said, then said to his latter comment, "Oh." She wanted to change the subject. "So..."

It was starting to get darker outside, and Rayne looked at the sky. "Look, the sun's setting," she said, pointing.

She nodded, standing. They started walking back to the dorms when she asked, "Did you get assigned a room?"

She nodded. "Okay," she said. "Is soon as in tonight or tomorrow?" She wanted to know so she knew whether it was safe not to wear a bra at night. She was relieved he didn't notice before.

((Lol she's still embarrassed at that XD))

((Lol :D))

"Okay. Want me to go with you?" She asked.

She frowned then smiled. "I feel kinda bad too, but it was fun." She shrugged. She wasn't sure why he thought that but didnt argue. ((Go to the dorms?))

Juliette looked around and the delight that filled her face was almost indescribable. She was absolutely beaming when she looked at him, "it's beautiful up here!!" she exclaimed.

Juliette grinned widely, looking like a child on Christmas morning. She followed him up the hill. "Gosh, it's beautiful," she breathe as she looked over the land. It felt like home.

Juliette sat down next to him, maybe closer than necessary. "I love it," she said with a smile, "I will, thank you. But I'll have to bring you," she said matter of factually, "because you showed me where it was," she said and grinned at him.

((G'night! :) ))

She looked at him side ways, "a date, huh?" she giggled. She nodded, "mm, yes. That would be be perfect!" she said excitedly at the thought.

She grinned widely at him, "yes, I am. Whenever's fine for me. We could do it to night if you want or tomorrow or next week or..." she trailed off and grinned at him. This wasn't unusual for Juliette, to have a date with a guy she just met. She almost always had boys wrapped around her finger. Was Gaelan different than the other boys, though?

Juliette glance him a dimply smile, "tomorrow's perfect for me!" she said brightly. She looke sideways at him and gave him a gentle smile.

Juliette looke at him, then layed down next to him in the sweet grass. She giggled, "not going to lie, but I'm excited. Most anything, I lve watermelon!" she said excitedly.

She held his hand, smiling slight. She almost thought she had feelings for this boy. She wasn't sure since she just met him. She beamed at the sky, "thank you. No, but I don't like meat. But don't let me be a pain."

She smile when he squeezed her hand. She turned her head to look at him and inhaled the sweet smell of the grass. "Ooh, well I think it's sweet of you to ask."

Juliette looked at him softly for a second. She wanted a sweet guy, she had been with jerks almost as long as she could remember."Well, I think it's a good quality," it was almost hard to tell if she was flirting or not, but she was brig honest.

She looked at him, almost feelin like they weren't working out. "Well, that's good. No problem," she said with a smile as she looke back at the blue sky.

Juliette looked up at the sky, "Welp, I don't know my real parents. I have two older siblings and, like, seven younger ones. My favorite color is purple, I love animals. I like to sing, just not in front of people. I love volleyball. I-" she licks her lips thoughtfully, "I didn't know I was a fairie till I was twelve. What about yourself?" she asked curiously.

She twirled a piece of grass through her fingers, looking at the pretty blue sky. Her eyes were the same color as the sky. She nodded, "yeah, it is. I think...two? Maybe just one I the kids were theirs, the rest were adopted," she thought for a second. For a while she didn't really care about her younger siblings, "me and Hillary, my older sister, get along really well. Tw younger ones, I do now more than I used to," when her thirteen year old sister started drinking and doing God knows what with boys, Juliette decided to draw the line and take on a motherly role for the kids. "Only child, huh? How bout cousins? My parents gave less than a d@mn about me after age eight. I like green too," she said, looking at him. "Soccer? I always wants to try soccer!"

She nodded, "yeah, I talk to Hillary every day. Or try to, at least. She's engaged now," Juliette said, positively beaming. The couple's daughter was going to be the flower girl and Juliette was supposed to be the maid of honor. "Oh, I'm sorry about that," she said softy. "Well that's good," she said, grinning at him. Her way of meetin people wasn't the best. Partying and alcohol normally wasn't. "Were you any good?" she asked.

She smiled exitedly, "yeah I am! I'm the maid of honor actually. It's in January, she always wanted a winter themed wedding," she giggled, it was quite clear that Juliette adored Hillary. She looked at him and her smile fell a little. "I bet you were good if you had colleges recruiting you! But that really stinks, I'm sorry."
