Another Day...

[Cloudnine]

Miya hadn't been to the beach before in her life. Ever since her little incident when she was four years old, she had never walked around a large body of water...especially something that seemed to roll endlessly into the golden horizon. "All right then, I'll follow along." She wondered when she'd die in a column of bubbles that day. Or when she'd be dragged onto shore and have CPR performed on her. Her parents would worry- not for her- but for all the schoolwork and training hours she'd missed. so much for supportive parents... she thought, as she sighed again and adjusted the cat ears on her head.

[Guest Yazera]

Lestat was still just sitting there and yawning to himself, daydreaming. He heard laughs but simply ignored them, what right did they have to have fun while he was all miserable. Oh well he had learned to live with it for several years now so it wouldn't be much different the next couple of days, or so he thought. He noticed a girl put on her walkman and grabbed into his innerpocket of the jacket and pulled out his MP3 player. An MP3 player that had about 2.3 gb memory space and where all of Lestats favourite techno and adrenaling rushing music was on. He leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes, letting the bass run through his ears filling his head with thoughts of dancing and action....

[Guest Draiko]

Once again, she felt bordom tossing her around by her ankles. She couldn't take to much bordom at once, she hated being bored. "I hope we leave soon...The last thing I need to do is bash my head through the window from being so bored...," she said, not caring if anyone heard her or not, she just had to say it! Zephyer took out her walkmen again and listen to it. She could hear the echoing of the music, bouncing of the walls inside her head. Closing her eyes, she just sat there, looking lifeless except for the part where she was nodding her head up and down very slowly. She placed her left arm over her school bag, which looked like a sports bag. Zephyer could almost fall asleep at the momment.

Ai turned her head in Naota's direction, narrowing her sky blue eyes and raising a brow. "Oh my my Naota-san, don't tell me you still pervertly gaze under girl's skirts? No wonder you don't have a girlfriend.." Ai laughed and smile," but in all seriousness.." The girl turned to the side, lifting one leg on the seat as her skirt shifted up alittle revealing her slender thighs to the boy. "You would really like to know wouldn't you?" She tilited her head,"or you could always ask Sensei when he arrives." She laughed again and suddenly felt a buzz. She turned away from Naota and Ken to answer her phone and started chatting away about what do next week.

[Cho Hakkai]

Danny was really nervous that Ai was tilting up her skirt but was relived when she turned around to talk on her cell. Phew. I almost let that get to me. Danny stared at Ai's perfect legs without his sunglasses. He didn't relize he was staring, but his eyes were half open so he thought no one would be able to see the fact he was a closet pervet.

[Ironwolf]

Seeing the depressed look on the face of his attractive neighbor, Hebiki scooted over to the isle and placed a hand on hers and asked, "What is wrong, Miya-san? Is it something that I can help with?"

[Cloudnine]

Miya looked up. "O-Oh, its nothing. i've never been to the beach in a while." She dangled a leg over the seat, letting the large heels kick the side of the bus. She looked away slightly. "I...don't like water very much."

Her grip around the bag tightened and the bell around her neck rang slightly. "But I think a lot of people know already." She paused and looked around. "Did you?" She asked, her green eyes questioning.

[Ironwolf]

Meeting her emrald eyes, "All I knew was that I have never seen you around the pool, so I was not awear you did not like the water." Giving her hand a little squeeze before continuing, "If you do not want to do anything in the water when we get there, I will not force you too, but at least let me try and show you a good time at the beach," flashing her a warm smile.

[Guest Itako]

"Yo all!" Lin greeted in her loud voice as she appeared on the bus. She grinned widely and surveyed the school bus. Yay! The beach!

The first thing that caught Lin's eye was Naoto's hat. She always noticed Naoto's hat. She actually liked it a lot. She didn't know Naoto well, besides the fact that he was class "Clown Prince." She herself was the "Clown Princess," but they rarely interacted enough for her to know anything of depth about him. Too bad he was friends with Tanaka Ai. Don't get Lin wrong, she had nothing wrong with the girl... except that she was her.

But who she liked (as of that moment) was...

Her eyes landed on Lestat Valentine, leaning back with his eyes closed and head phones on and grinned. Now HE was hot. And Lin didn't care that girls tripped all over themselves for that redhead. And seeing him alone listening to music made her realize that... holy flying cows, she wasn't prepared to go to the beach!

All she had was her swimsuit under her skirt, jeans, and button up shirt, not even a towel. Lin mentally smacked herself. No towel. Great. What was she going to dry herself with, her SHIRT? And if so, what would she wear on the way home?!

Sighing deeply, Lin brightened as she looked for someone to terrify for the bus ride too, particularly any one of her friends she hung out with. Miya was talking to some kid who obviously liked her. And Zypher was already asleep! Talk about a sleeper. Lin was a sleeper herself, but not on a damn fieldtrip!

Ken was talking some other kid about video games. Lin considered this option. She could always pop up and spout something random (and loud) about Final Fantasy, but though that could never get old, she was getting sick of having to talk to Ken if she wanted to talk about Final Fantasy. She was only in it for Nobuo anyway.

Then it hit her like a ton of feathers. Lin's impish grin widened. A few seconds later she was yelling a wakeup call in Zypher's ear.

((ooc: Hah hah, I made a bad typo. >< "Butt flying cows"? I have no clue what that was. A result of 12 am tiredness stuffers, I guess...))

((edit: I'm rewriting Lin's personality a little bit, so I had to change something in here.))

Lestat opened his eyes for a short moment, and a short moment only and noticed this girl look his way....his lips forming into a faint smile and then back to his usual non caring expression...sure he had always been somewhat popular with the girls, but actually never had one approach him for anything. Except asking for a pencil or something, but all the time the girls had been staring at him, giggeling or whatever. But he had never cared like all the other guys who went all childish and almost horny little animals as soon as a girl looked at them. Lestat was in hiw own way well aware of his looks but never had te thought of trying to pick up a girl or even talk to one. What was the use??? Love was an illusion, it was an emotion that only existed for so long until the two people grew tired of eachother or had some other kind of trouble. And thus he wasn't that much for love, sure he was intrested in sex like all the others, but he had never had sex so he didn't know what he was missing nor did he care.

Getting tired of sitting around Lestat rose from his seat, his black pants scraping against the seat cover and his netshirt sitting tight against his torso. He walked thowards the front of the buss and looked around, everyone seemed to be having fun and where all so excited to go on this trip, well at least it was something different then sitting in those stuffed up classrooms all day but still what where they so excited about really. Getting of the buss he took out a pack of ciggarettes and lit one on fire, much to young to smoke but still smoking thanks to his damn mom...oh well at least he wasn't smoking to be cool like most of the other guys he knew that smoked at his age. He smoked because it made him relax, leaning against the buss and just waiting for something to happen he continued to listen to his music....the song "La Bomba" with Eddy Wata currently playing.....

[Kenji-San]

"Sure, I'll take some!" Ken said as he continued his ramble with Anrui, "Haha!! My cousin has a white PSP! Of course...he just painted it white..." Quickly pulling out his bag from his side, he took out the magazine that had all of the PSP previews that were coming out. As the two of them stared at the screenshots with awe, the people around them grumbled at their nerdery. Of course, Ken and Anrui didn't care what the other people thought. Video games were an important part of their life, and nobody could change that.

"Hey, Anrui...that's quite a coincidence. My mom had a strange change of heart as well. She said that when I came back, she would get me anything I want. I wonder why...."

[Cloudnine]

She quietly gave a sigh of relief. He was not one of those faces in the crowd when she fell in the pool some time ago. Smiling, she said, "thank you very much." At least she knew this trip may turn out pretty well.

Miya glanced at Ai's direction. Rar! That Ai! I have better curves than her! At least I can act normal around guys! Her thoughts seemed to bounce around in her head. Finally, she spoke. "Ah...Ai," she paused. "Wouldn't it be better to change into your swimwear first...?" Miyazuhime smiled politeley.

[Guest Draiko]

The wakeup call got her. Her bright green eyes shot open as her headphone fell off. "What the!?!?!" she yelled, jumping up some as she looked around. Soon, Zephyer looked over at Lin, and she raised an eyebrow. "What the heck was that for?" she said, almost yelling. She didn't notice, but she was standing up, her arms flying everywhere, and her eyes a blaze like green fire. Zephyer stopped and leaned against the seat, "Y'know what...Forget it....You wanna sit by me?" she asked Lin.

[Guest Itako]

Lin pouted playfully as her friend yelled at her. "I feel hurt," Lin mocked, putting her hands on her heart. "Do you not love me anymore?" She grinned again and jumped onto the seat as loudly as possible, bouncing up and down for good measure. She didn't see it, but knew that Zephyer had just rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, you know I'm adorable," she teased. "You can't get mad at me. But you know who's really adorable?" Well, Lin, in all actuality, didn't know the answer to that. Lestat was no where near adorable just utterly sexy. And, uh, she didn't remember any of the adorable guys. Danny was the youngest, so that made him adorable in a way, but she loved Naoto's gotee, and whats-it that was talking to Miya had an adorable blush on his face, though of course it didn't belong to her.

At this thought, Lin sighed. She didn't have a boyfriend yet, which was quite sad, for her at least. Whenever she complained about her predicament (ie never snagigng the guy) everyone assured her that someone liked her, but she could never understand who they were hinting at! Or maybe they were just saying that to make her feel better? Goddammit, people! They all suck (in Lin's mind, anyway.)

"Ah, never mind that," Lin muttered, "Adorable isn't word enough in my dictionary.

"So anyway, Zeph, ya gonna be swimming?"

[Guest Draiko]

Zephyer grinned, "Well yeah, of course! Why wouldn't I? Is swimming not a sport?". She layed back in the seat, her hands behind her head. Sports were her thing, that and drawing. Her sports record was wild! She had practicaly played on every sports team in the school, from basketball to soccer. Zeph enjoyed sports, though she wasn't sure if was going to be an athlete for a living. But in the mean time, she would enjoy the many sports that were available at school.

"So...What do you wanna do when we get there...Besides swiming?" she asked Lin, her grin now a smile. Lin had been a close friend of her's through out the years. She may be some what of a love-a-holic or whatever. but she was a good friend.

[Guest Yazera]

Smiling slightly Yazera grinned to himself as an old song played through his earphones, Wierd Al Yankowich with Bad Santa, and old song he had to delete once he came home.

Home, well at least he called it home, he never actually had told any of his classmates where he lived or why he lived the way he did, oh well he thought and threw away the ciggarette he had been smoking blowing out small rings as there was no wind outside. He sighed, when the hell was this thing going to get on the road. He was begining to get pretty bored with this.

He lit up another ciggarette and saw that he had only 3 ciggarettes left, damnit he thought. That ment he had only 2 more packages in his bag. How would he get by with that, oh well he thought as he enjoyed the sweet tobacco. He was still leaning against the buss, not really expecting anyone to come out to join him, but neither did he care, he was and had always been a kind of loner.

But ofcourse if anyone actually would talk to him he wouldn't just be quiet, he would talk. But the question was how fast he got bored of the person.

Oh well he had to deal with it once that happened, but he started to wonder where the hell they were going. Normally they would have needed his parents signatur but no one had even asked for it, nor had they told him what to bring along. But to his luck he had at least an extra pair of pants, a shirt and some sneakers wich he was going to use for his training.

Oh damn his training, great he would miss his training. Sighing slightly he picked up his phone from his pocket and dialed the number to his trainer. DUUUUT.....DUUUUUT......DUU, " Yeah hello? Is that you Lestat?" Lestat smirked, always in the middle of the third ringing tone, typical...." Yeah it's me, whats up? A short perios of silence and Lestat was just about to ask again as he heared his trainer again. " Oh nothing just warming up youre spar partner here, and by the way where are you, you should have been here by now, youre always half an hour early, you know you got a ma.... Lestat cut him off there" Ehm yeah about that, I don't think I can come today, and I won't be able to... The irritated voice of his trainer screaming filled his ears..." WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T COME TODAY.....YOU KNOW YOU GOT THAT MATCH TOMORROW..GET YOURE ASS OVER HERE...AND I MEAN IT DAMMIT LESTAT....

*CLICK*....Lestat sighed and put his phone back in his pocket, the trainer had hung up apperantly really pissed. But Lestat didn't really care that much, he was the best fighter he had so he wouldn't just throw Lestat out of the club. So it didn't really matter, Lestat would have to explain it to him once he got back.....

"What am I going to do at the beach, eh? Well, everything I normally do," Lin replied Zepyher, shrugging. "Chat incessantly about the art and music of the Final Fantasy series, annoy the hell out of whoever I feel like it, check out guys, eat, sleep if it's nice out enough, check out guys, oh, and did I mention that Naoto is hot?" Lin hadn't meant to say that, she could swear it. "I mean, he is hot yeah, but I was going to say Lestat was hot, not Naoto, because, uh, well," Lin started rambling. Without realizing it, she shifted her sight to the back of the bus where Naoto sat. "And, um, yeah. I don't have a towel," she said quickly. "And All I'm wearing is my normal clothes, yeah, and a swimsuit, and I think my jeans have a hole in the back." She shifted around uncomfortably until a small ripping sound was heard. "Well, if there wasn't before, they definitely do now." Lin gazed sadly down at her old old jeans and short (sluttly length almost) skirt. At least the tear was situated wear the skirt would cover it, which wasn't much space anyway. She realized that she'd have to eventually ditch wearing jeans and walk around in a three inch (exaggeration) skirt and bikini later.

"This skirt is short," she pointed out, frowning. "I shouldn't have worn such a short skirt."

Lestat was getting sick of standing outside of the buss and snapped away his ciggarette into the air, the ciggarette twirling and spinning before hitting the ground on a spot of soft grass. Sighing he returned in to the buss and looked at all his classmates, all so childish and just happy beyond what he had seen them be before. Oh well apperantly they were excited to go on that field trip. And apperantly more excited then Lestat was. He saw this one girl, and from her a ripping sound was heared, apperantly something ripping or at least that was logical. Hearing her say something about if it wasn't there before it was definatley there now he just smiled. Walking thowards her slowly he stopped just next to her seat, leaning on the seat infront of her and just looking at her with a small smirk on his face. He said nothing and just kept looking at her, quiet cute and somewhat slutty dressed, but that was just fine, she looked good in that outfit. And Lestat couldn't help noticing her beautifull face.....

[Guest Draiko]

Zephyer let out a snicker, as she heared a rip. "Yeah, good thing you got that so called 'skirt'!" she said, trying so hard not to laugh out loud. "I just happen to have brought a few extra pairs of pants just incase for some strange reason. But I will want them back eventually! So when we get to the beach, you can switch into them...," sighed Zephyer, rummaging through her sport like school bag and taking out a pair of long baggy shorts, though they should fit Lin.

Edward had sat quietly on the back of the bus not saying a word. He had dozed off for a little while and snapped back up and he realized it. Looking around he looked for anyone he knew, well, which was everyone. More specifically he looked for someone he could stand being around, and it was futile from the beginning. He did not want to be around anyone, all of these kids don't understand.

'Why did I even come today? I hate the beach. I hate swimming, I hate hot places. This is ridiculous.' Edward thought to himself.

But all of that was a lie, he was trying to make excuses for why he felt so horrible. He actually quite enjoyed the beach, he had been taken many times when he was younger.Looking around again this time his eye caught Miyazuhime. He stared at her for awhile while she talked to some other kids and he just let out a sigh and turned to look out the window. Some fleeting thoughts of whooing Miyazuhime at the beach crossed his mind but then again, he knew she couldn't swim and wondered why she would come on the trip. Shaking his head he reached into his pocket and felt around. Pulling out a small MP3 player, much cheaper looking and generic than any other, it only had about 128 MB of space. Lifting the small headphones and placing each in an ear he turned on his classical music and leaned against the side of the bus again, staring out the window and allowing his mind to wander outward.

[Cloudnine]

((why's everyone at the back of the bus? XDDDDD))

Miya sighed and dug out an MP3 Player from her overstuffed bag, bright orange and incredibly shiny. Rolling back onto her back again and using the bag as a pillow, she closed her eyes, listening to the music. As one hand was cranking up the volume, the other hand moved the headphones so that they rested around her neck.

Straight as an arrow

Defect defect

Not straight, not so straight

Reject reject

Towards anti-social

Solo solo

Standing on the stairs

Cold, cold morning

Ghostly image of fear

Mayday mayday

Gonna leave this region

They'll take me with them

She began to mouth out the words, the music probably audible to people within a 9 feet radius around her.

[Ironwolf]

Hebiki almost grimiced at the volume of her music, but that gave way as he realized that he was still holding her soft hand, he began to hum along with the song that her headphones were blairing. With his other hand, the teenager reached into his own bag and pulled out the pillow that he had packed for this trip, quietly crossing the isle, he gently placed the pillow beneath Miya's head before returning to his seat.

[Cloudnine]

Miya opened her eyes. "Thank you, Hebiki," she smiled.

((Yeah, short...but i'm brainded...*muttermutter* stupid project...))

[cntrstrk14]

Edward saw the other boy place the pillow under her and twitched with jeolousy. A fire raged up in him but he turned and let it settle. Letting out a breathe he looked to the side and hummed a little as he watched out the window. The music was soothing his spirit.

((ooc: short, but thought I should react to that ))

[Guest Itako]

"Che, these are my favorite jeans too!" Lin ranted on as she took the pants from Zepyher's grip, all the while not noticing the boy that stood so close to her. "I've been wearing them since grade school, and yes that's possible because they were five times to big for me then, gradeschool!" Then, continuing to huff about unreliable jean-materials, she took the caro pants and glanced back and to the sides to check if there would be anyone looking if she just changed her pants now (wearing jeans with a butt-hole is not very comfortable) and then looked up in front of her.

Lin's heart stopped.

Lestat Valentine was looking at her. Right at her! And sitting right in front of her to look at her, and he was smiling. SMILING!

No one ever saw Lestat smile. Never. At least till now.

Lin was speechless. As far back as she could remember, no one, no guys even, appoached her. She was the one who befriended Kenji first with talk of Final Fantasy, and was then accepted into the group after a while. Mostly in class, she was noticed for rivalling Naoto Nguyen for position as "Class Clown," being uncontrollably loud and hyper, except while the teachers lectured. (For some reason, this set their fellow students up for a stereo type that Vietnamese kids raised in America were class-clowny.) No one ever got in her face like how Lestat just did, and that threw Lin completely off guard.

"Oh, um, h-hi, Le-stat," she stammered. Oh god, were her cheeks turning pink? Argh! Why did he have to scare her like that?!

No wait, he wasn't smiling. He was smirking. There's a little bit of a difference there.
