||~WICKED SCHEMES~|| (1x1 HTF RP w/ Toasty)

[Miku Hatsune 636]

Flippy watched as Splendid left, a slight tinge of pink in his cheeks. He waved to him half-heartedly as Splendid glanced back at him, going into homeroom as the bell rang. He was met with the normal kids sitting in homeroom, along with some people he was familiar with. He eyed Flaky, noticing that her face was wet with tears and her eyes on him for a second. Just across the way was Shifty and Lifty sitting stubbornly in their seats, holding hands under the desks, but looking frustradedly at the ground. He gave a 'hm,' happy that he had scared them into stopping. Intimidating Lifty and Shifty, or anyone for that matter, was definitely something he could get used to.

((Time-Skip to 1st Period))

 

Splendid dawlded about nervously in the boy's locker room, twisting the sleeve of his shirt while spinning a basketball that he had found in the Equipment Room on one of his fingers. It eased his nerves being he was skipping and it was something he didn't always do. That's the thing, no matter what is causing Splendid's anxiety, no matter how severe it may be, give him a basketball and he was all set to take on the world.

 

At the moment for Splendid he was waiting for Flippy to come around. If he wasn't there in the next five minutes he was leaving the Auditorium and heading to French. He needed to learn that language anyway being he couldn't even pronounce the word "bonjour" properly let alone speak the language fluently. Splendid sighed--he hated waiting.

 

~

 

Flaky panted, sweat beading down her forehead. Her cheeks were flushed with exhaustion and her legs felt as though they were made if Jell-O, ready to collapse beneath her. Gasping she leaned against the fence of the track field, clinging to it desperately. It had too have been at least 35 minutes, when would this class end? And what Physical Education teacher did track the first day back at school? It was ludicrous. Russell slowed down next to her as he came by, quirking an eyebrow. For someone who lived for inside activities he was fairly athletic.

 

"I-I can't do it, go on without me." Flaky gasped, waving her hand for him to keep going. Russell sighed, rolling his eyes.

 

"Flaky, babe, it's been 5 minutes." Okay so maybe Flaky wasn't the most fit person in the world even though she had a slim figure. The red head whimpered, slumping slightly. She hated running. Hell she hated 1st Period Gym altogether.

[Miku Hatsune 636]

Flippy entered the audotorium soundlessly, coming up behind Splendid and covering his blue eyes playfully, resting his chin on the top of his head. "Miss me?" He asked, smiling from where he was even though Splendid couldn't see him from where he was. Flippy liked teasing him like that, especially when he wasn't expecting that. Flippy wasn't missing out on much anyways. His first period class was math, and he hated math. He didn't mind skipping out on it at all; he loved being around Splendid. The only creepy part about skipping class in the audotorium was that the audotorium was always so echo-y and windowless and just... so quiet. He felt like whatever they said could be heard from outside, but, to add onto the creepiness of the audotorium, it was also specially designed to be soundproof. He's heard that if anyone were to have sex at a school dance, the audotorium was the best place. But Flippy wasn't that kind of guy.

[zexion/ienzo 52]

Splendid jumped slightly as a pair of hands covered his navy blue eyes, darkening his sight even more from the dim lightening in the otherwise empty Auditorium. But he didn't react as badly as he would have when he heard a familiar, smooth voice sound from next to his ear and then a chin placed on top of his head. He smiled slightly, leaning back to look up at the teen, not minding the close proximity they were at. In fact, he was more than okay with it. Splendid, took a hold of Flippy's wrists carefully and moved his hands away from his navy blue orbs.

 

"Nah, I was just thinking I'd be lucky if you didn't show up actually." The bluenette teased, before nodding. "Just kidding, but maybe I did miss you a liiiiiittle bit." Splendid said, grinning like an idiot all over again.

 

~

 

Russell sighed, continuing to watch her wobble to stand on her own and placed one of her arms over his shoulder, pulling her into a light jog, making sure she wasn't falling behind.

 

"Honestly, you should be prepared for something like this." He muttered while Flaky stuttered a slight apology for making him help her (even though she really hadn't actually asked anything of him).

 

"S-Sorry. I just...I'm not much of a runner..." Flaky admitted bashfully as they came up next to Sniffles who was sitting on the bleachers on the side of the track field. He purposely hadn't gotten dressed do he could study more for his Robotics Elective Class, nose stuck in a book. Flaky wished she could have pulled a similar stunt. Russell paused, looking around to make sure the teacher wasn't watching them.

 

"Hey--Sniffs'--learn anything you don't yet?" The teal haired teen questioned, smiling at him to show he was just kidding with him.

[Miku Hatsune 636]

Flippy looked (jokingly) hurt, faking a pout. "Just a little bit?" He asked, sitting next to him, looking at him from the corner of his eye as he took out a cigarette and lighted it. Another good thing about the audotorium? There were no smoke detectors -- the architect had forgotten to put them in this particular room. The smoke from his cigarette went right into a vent above them, which was transported directly outside. Flippy was glad he could get away with smoking. "The look on your face seems like you missed me a lot." He teased, smirking slightly at Splendid as he blew smoke in the other direction. (He knew he hated it when he blew smoke in his face.) Saying that made Flippy's heartbeat jump to his throat for some reason, noticing that he blushed at that.

 

~

 

Sniffles breifly looked up from his book. "Hardly," He joked, rolling his aqua eyes at the two. Flaky seemed to be exhausted, winded, and about to pass out. "Is she alright?"

[zexion/ienzo 52]

Splendid scoffed playfully turning away to avoid Flippy's knowing gaze but in the end also missing the no doubt cute blush staining his pale cheeks. Of course he missed him a lot. He was his best friend...Appreciative of how Flippy blew the smoke in a different direction, Splendid began to toss the basketball back and between his feather light finger tips, slightly bored. He wouldn't say that, since he really liked spending time with the slightly younger teen but sometimes the quiet between the two wasn't a pleasant thing. Unable to think of anything to say Splendid began to hum lightly under his breath. His singing voice was horrendous but for some reason, his humming and whisper singing wasn't half bad.

 

"...And I had the best day, with you, today~" He whispered lightly, closing his eyes contently as he smiled, leaning his head back once again.

 

~

 

Flaky wheezed out a few responses but they ended in being incoherent words to anybody's ears but her own. So Russell took that as the initiative to answer for her, leaning against the fence in boredom, shutting his eyes.

 

"She's just...tired." Flaky slipped her arm away from Russell and fell to her knees, hanging her head in defeat as her throat began to ache from her desperate breaths. She couldn't stand being so winded and whatnot. It was aggravating. The red head pulled her untamed hair up as she tied it loosely with a hair-tie, just to get it out of the way.

 

"I-I'm fine..." She finally stated, wiping her forehead.

[Miku Hatsune 636]

Flippy looked at him with another gentle smile. "You wanted to finish what you were telling me earlier?" Flippy asked, taking his cigarette out of his mouth and letting the ashes fall on the armrest. He liked the silence between him and Splendid sometimes, though. It's like all he needed was for him to be there to feel safe. (If 'safe' was the right word for it.) After that, he looked back at the door across the audotorium, seeing through the small window in the door. He could see Lumpy skipping class with someone too -- just a random girl he picked up, he presumed. Lumpy, a mix between popular and average, was a definite player. He would get a new girlfriend every week, and each time he did, he'd pull the same cruel trick on them. He'd tell them he loves them, firetruck them afterwards, and then get caught cheating with someone else. It's like the guy never got enough ass even though he got plenty of it. Flippy felt his eyes narrow. He had no respect for greedy guys like that... Or people who played women like that. Women's hearts weren't something to be played around with like that, and he hated watching him do things in such a provocative, disgusting way. Word on the street is he'd be trying out for basketball this year too. Looks like Splendid had some competition coming his way.

 

~

 

Sniffles nodded, turning back to his book. "If you say so," He said, pushing his thick-rimmed specs up the bridge of his nose. Almost immediately after he said that, Lammy came into view. She was late, which definitely wasn't like her at all.

 

"Hi guys," She said quietly, fiddling with the hem of her gym shirt anxiously.

"Where have you been?" Sniffles asked, genuinely concerned about the lavender-haired schitzo.

"Oh, well," She sighed. "It's nothing, really. I just had something...to do."

[zexion/ienzo 52]

((Argh! I can't find a good tutorial!))

 

Splendid nodded before taking a deep breath and beginning again. He was raging on about how in Homeroom try outs were going to be tomorrow and how he wasn't prepared and all of that jazz. Really he loved his sport with a passion but he preferred getting a decent amount of practice time before the try outs--even if he was practically guaranteed a spot on the team. He had been the first Freshman ever to get on the Navy Team (the better of two teams at the school) just from a try out. It was obvious he was passionate and wanted to be the best he could manage.

 

"....And then Mrs. Lacy ((random teacher)) starts saying howthe try outs will be held during my Free Period! I'd rather be practicing or playing a round of HORSE to warm me up than try outs!" Splendid stressed, slumping in his seat while tossing the orange object into the air and proceeding to catch it.

 

~

 

Flaky smiled up at Lammy, pleased to see her. Why she was late though boggled her mind slightly. The lavender haired female usually made it a point to always be on time, whether it was an odd habit or a rule she usually stayed true to it. It was even rumored that she arrived at her bus 10 minutes early just because she didn't want to be a moment later than the time assigned in her bus pass last year. Not that it mattered, everyone had their odd quirks didn't they?

 

Standing up with much effort, Flaky pinned a piece of hair behind her ear, concern shining through her amber eyes. Lammy was kind of like a friend to her now. She had reason to be worried. Tilting her head and keeping her voice low so only Lammy could hear her she quietly asked:

 

"Are you sure everything is okay?"

[Miku Hatsune 636]

Flippy still listened as he extinguished his cigarette in a handheld ashtray he kept with him in case he needed a smoke. Poor Splendid seemed so stressed, he pitied him. He was an exceptional player and Flippy highly doubted he wouldn't make it. He's been playing the sport his whole life it was hard to believe he'd get so worried about this one tryout when he's been through so many. It's not like Flippy would know anything about it though, so he had no right to judge his stress level. After all, the only sport Flippy had ever played was baseball back in Elementary School, and even he was only doing it so he had an excuse to ride the same bus as Splendid after school. (Splendid did basketball back then too. He was really dedicated.) Flippy gave him a winning smile that'd surely make any female melt.

 

"You'll do fine. You're such a good player, I'm certain they'll take you." He gave his words of support, unable to stand seeing him so stressed.

 

~

 

Lammy seemed a bit spaced out and distant, like something terrible had happened. But she just denied that anything had happened at all. "I'm sure, really. It's nothing to be worried about, I give you my word."

[zexion/ienzo 52]

((I get the feeling Lammy's lying o_o))

 

Splendid looked up at Flippy, his heart catching in his throat at that smile he was flashed and he relaxed just slightly. Perhaps Flippy was right, maybe he was over-stressing and blowing it way out of proportion. It's not as though the try-outs would be held in front of the whole Universe or anything. He could play no problem in front of the crowd belonging to his school but with more than that watching he had a hunch he'd crack under the pressure. He supposed though that if he wanted to play professionally he'd have to get over that fear. After all, he had enough talent to make it, it'd be a shame if he couldn't get on a team because of a small case of stage fright.

 

"I...thanks Flippy." Splendid said, relief evident in the tone of his voice. "But can I ask a favor of you anyway?"

 

~

 

Flaky felt her intuition tugging at her heart, saying something was simply not right here, but was forced to brush it off as the teacher finally was aware of their lagging in the class, snapping at then to make an effort. Russell kicked off the gate (surprisingly quickly for a teenager with prosthetic legs) and waved at Flaky and Lammy as he ran ahead. He wasn't one to be yelled at by a Gym teacher of all things.

 

Sighing, the red-head, took an even breath and fell into a slightly pained light jog with Lammy. She was afraid that something happened to her or that she had witnessed a horrible act of some sort but the female could'nt be quite sure as to what it could have been. They were at school for goodness sake!

 

"I-If you say so Lammy. You j-just look like you've seen a g-ghost or something."

 

((The song has now sent me into a fit of tears.))

[Miku Hatsune 636]

((Told you it was a good song.))

 

Flippy shrugged, pocketing his package of cigarettes and lighter quickly. If Splendid had a favor for him, it couldn't have been that bad. Flippy didn't normally perform favors for just anyone, so Splendid was a lucky guy. "Sure," He agreed, glad he was able to relieve Splendid's stress, even if only a little bit.

 

~

 

Lammy kept on jogging with Flaky, her glazed-over violet eyes focusing on everything but eye contact right now. She just stared straight ahead, looking traumatized. She hadn't even blinked. She laughed lightly at Flaky's comment, though still creepily and taken back. Like she really had seen a ghost. "I'm fine, really." A few feet later... She was down. Lammy had fallen, but didn't get back up. She just laid there, on her face, on the track field. Immediately, Sniffles was the first to notice.

 

"LAMMY!"

[zexion/ienzo 52]

((It is! I want to learn it so badly for you now! And poor Lammy!))

 

Splendid grinned. Of course Flippy would let him ask. He always did, no matter how crazy the favor may have been to him or anyone else. Although, for Splendid, "crazy" usually meant doing something completely normal for any teen like sneaking out to a wild house party or something along those lines. He stood up, holding his basketball (technically the school's) tightly against his chest, looking more like an excited middle schooler than a Jumior in high school.

 

"Will you come to my try outs tomorrow?" Splendid asked shakily, eyes bright with anticipation. Try outs weren't usually to bad. It was usually each potential player taking a few shots in the basket before they were split up to play a mock basketball game. It helped the Coaches determine the weaker links of the group from the more enthusiastic, stronger players.

 

~

 

Flaky stopped dead in her tracks simultaneously with Russell who had also heard Sniffles slight screech of terror as Lammy laid face down on the track field. Feeling her breath speed up, Flaky kneeled down to her side, her sensative ears picking up Russell's heavy footsteps behind her and the clatter of Sniffles rushing to get off the bleachers. From across the track towards the school's back entrance, she could hear the teacher and other students bustling with confusion as they slowly approached. Flaky was beginning to panic, wishing they'd faster because Lammy wasn't moving. At all.

 

"L-Lammy...Lammy please do something." She pleaded desperately as Russel came beside her and reached to carefully turn the motionless girl over on her front. This couldn't happen to Lammy, not the one who had just started becoming her friend...

 

Please...Oh God please don't take Lammy away. Let her be okay!

[Miku Hatsune 636]

Flippy blinked, then smiled, pleased with the question. "Of course I will," He followed up his bashful agreement with a laugh. "That wasn't much of a favor though, since I was planning on going anyways." Flippy said, nudging his arm as he usually did. He stood up, still smiling at Splendid as he brushed himself off. "I have to go to the bathroom," He pointed with his thumb over to the exit of the audotorium. The bathrooms were just one door down and it wasn't a long trip to get there. "are you coming with me, or are you going to leave when the bell rings?" He asked, noticing that there was only a few more minutes, give or take, until the bell would ring.

 

~

 

As Lammy was flipped over, teachers and the school nurse frantically looked her over. She was still breathing, thank God, but they had to find out why she just suddenly dropped. Who would just pass out on the first day of school? The nurse checked everywhere; behind her hair, her ankles, her joints. One of the students however, came forward and rolled up Lammy's right sleeve, making the others stare in disbelief. Large vertical and horizontal scratches had adorned her arm, all of them drenched in blood and some of them with pus. Sweet little Lammy had been cutting herself. The nurse carried her back into the school to check her out more thoroughly.

[zexion/ienzo 52]

((Thanks for the next fit of tears that have ensued.))

 

Splendid, now bursting with joy from his response, nodded, following after his green haired friend as they stopped to the boy's bathroom just across te hallway outside the Auditorium. He had barely remembered until now that they had in fact skipped class. His French teacher wouldn't be pleased with him tomorrow. He'd have to make up some excuse for his absence, like he was in the Guidance Office or something. As he paused to get a drink of water from the fountain next to the bathroom he looked to the side, a bustle of franticness catching his attention. He stood up, pulling on Flippy's sleeve and pointing. A sinking feeling entered his heart.

 

From here he could make out the still form of Lammy--the girl Flaky had attempted to stand up for on the bus this morning and even from the quick glimpse he got of her being carried into the Nurse's Office he spotted gashes on her arms that her sleeves would have hidden perfectly had they not been rolled up.

 

"That's horrible," He whispered, frowning with a saddened look, rubbing his arm. "Just...awful." Seeing something like that...it always made him upset to think that the cause for someone trying to end their pain through cutting themselves might be because of teasing from his crowd of Cool kids or even the Average bullies. He didn't have a doubt in his mind part of the cause might have been because of Lifty and Shifty. The teens probably never realized that they were having such a traumatizing affect on Lammy. "That poor girl."

 

~

 

Flaky felt tears spill from her eyes as Lammy was carried away by careful nurses, her hands circled over her mouth which was open in horror. Why...why would Lammy ever resort to such negative acts. Surely she had someone to talk t--Flaky sobbed. Of course she didn't have someone to console her, they were lower crust. No one helped the Losers aside from other Losers.

 

"It's cruel," She finally stated, shaking with both fear for Lammy and anger towards this who had teased her to such brutality. "No one...N-No one should have to do that." Russell gave a sad nod, giving her shoulder a comforting squeeze as he led her and Sniffles inside as the Gym teacher was directing. There was only a few minutes left of the period anyway.

 

"You're right, no one should. Especially not her. Not when she tried so hard to be..." He trailed off as they went inside and were forced to go into separate locker rooms. Yet Flaky didn't need him to finish that sentence she realized she changed into her normal school outfit. She already knew what he was going to say. Not when Lammy tried so hard to be normal, to be accepted. Flaky shed some more tears. It wasn't fair she decided as the bell rang and she headed to her next class--her first Elective of the day.

 

((I cried typing that whole thing on Splendid and Flaky's end ))

[Miku Hatsune 636]

Flaky watched as Lammy was delivered into the nurse's office, her sleeve rolled up to see her cuts. He didn't care much about Lammy, but he definitely felt bad for her now. It was probably most of Lifty and Shifty's fault since they were her main bullies. That was hell to go through -- Lifty and Shifty were harsh as hell when it came to insults. "Yeah..." He paused, unable to watch. He grabbed Splendid's hand, continuing on to the bathroom. "Let's just go. I can't look at her when she's like that."

 

~

 

"What exactly compelled you to do this to yourself?" The nurse asked her, holding a clipboard in her hands. It was third period now, and Lammy woke up. She was fine, her wounds tended to by the nurse and her assistants. Gauze was wrapped around her arm, soaking up the blood and pus. Lammy looked down at her arm, frowning.

 

"I saw...these maggots," She said, remembering it all vividly in her mind. "When I brought the razor to myself, all these maggots started crawling out," Her voice and body shook as she explained what she 'saw'. "I wanted them to go away, so I scratched at them over and over again... But they wouldn't leave! They'd crawl back into the open wound and feed off of my blood! I wanted them gone, so I thought that if I kept cutting, more of them would come out, and they'd all go away. I kept on scratching them..." The nurse jotted down one word: Schitzophrenia.

[zexion/ienzo 52]

((I assume they're in 3rd period then?))

 

Splendid had gone his separate way from Flippy--deciding to stay with him through 2nd Period as well after seeing the nauseating scene of Lammy. His stomach churned from such sights. Put simply, Splendid wasn't good with seeing massive amounts of blood like that. If it was in movies, fine. He knew that it was fake blood anyway. But if he could see or smell it vividly in front of him like it had been with Lammy it could send him to the stall puking. But he wasn't anywhere near Lammy now. He was in History with his somewhat interesting class. The thing was, he couldn't focus. Not because the class was boring--but because one of the twins (Shifty) was sitting just two seats away castling texting Lifty who was in another class. Splendid could only assume he was so calm because he hadn't known about Lammy yet. He prayed that was why he still held that god awful wicked grin on his face.

 

~

 

Flaky was sitting stressed in her Math class, one hand tangled in her hair, the other scratching down notes. But it was hard to do so when there was an empty seat next to her that would have normally belonged to Lammy. And just a seat away was a texting Lifty. Her tears still hadn't dried, occasionally slipping down her cheeks tenderly. Not that her teacher cared--Happy Tree High wasn't really all that happy anyway unless you were Cool or Average.

 

Biting her lip, Flaky found that when she first came into 3rd period from her Private Elective (she said private because she was one of the few taking the class), Art, she actually had to contain the newfound fury that budded in her big heart at the sight of Lifty. He had no idea of what he and his brother had done to such an innocent child, her closest thing to a friend next to Russell and Sniffles. But she had managed to keep her trap shut, taking a seat and gripping her mechanical pencil so hard she was sure it'd snap.

[Miku Hatsune 636]

Flippy was in gym now, with Cuddles and Petunia. They mainly gossipped about what had happened to Lammy, Petunia making fun of Lammy's disease all the while. Cuddles, a lot nicer than Petunia, had argued that she can't help it if Lammy is ill, and that he couldn't blame her for cutting herself like that. Flippy barely said anything the entire time, running the track obediently and thinking ahead to what English next period would be like. And, of course, wondering how Splendid was faring right about now.

 

~

 

Lifty and Shifty texted about numerous things. Some were provocative, some were evil, and some were about what they'd steal in the locker rooms later. Not one text was about Lammy. Every now and again, Lifty would look over at Flaky and glare, then type responses back to his brother frantically. The younger twin seemed quite indulged in his texting, and he was best not to be disturbed.

[zexion/ienzo 52]

Splendid was actually faring quite horribly as the clock ticked by, now becoming more and more frazzled by the minute even though most of this females in his class found it positively adorable. He had gotten in trouble for not paying attention as the teacher coalled on him because he had been to busy staring at Shifty and wondering what he was texting about with his brother. Ironic isn't it? So he was forced to stutter and BS his way through a question that he was lucky he knew some information on.

 

Thankfully it was enough to please the teacher though he was sure she'd be keeping a sharp eye on him now. Great, god forbid he really decided not to pay attention one day he'd be snapped at immediately. He ran a hand through his hair, slumping to lay on his desk top boredly, unable to bear reading the tiny size 8 text in his History book. He just wanted to get to Gym next period. Maybe then he'd get something of a workout into his day before try outs. The thought of try outs made him smile stupidly to himself. Not just because he'd be playing for his passion, but because his personal good luck charm (the one he didn't have to wear) was going to be present. Combining that with the red mask Flippy had given him when they were younger and he'd be all set to play!

 

~

 

Flaky flinched under the glare she received but didn't look away, attempting to instead shoot back the angriest look she could muster. He was all the way across the room (which was really only half-way across the room to be honest)--the worst he could do to her was flip her off and Flaky could tolerate that. It was the verbal insults that really brought her down and lowered her self-esteem. Speaking of self-esteem, Flaky could not say that she was looking forward to her next class because of it.

 

Her mother and father had encouraged her to take her other Elective as Drama. They thought it'd be a good way for her to embrace her inner self and release any acting skill she may or may not have to open up her mind to new people. Yeah, okay. They obviously didn't realize her inner self embracement time was when she was alone; when no one could see her soar in her own way. But they'd manage to force the terrifying elective into her schedule and Happy Tree High had strict regulations on assigning students to other electives once the first choice was already confirmed. Flaky didn't like that rule.

[Miku Hatsune 636]

Flippy wondered where Lumpy was this period -- he was supposed to have this gym period, but he wasn't there. He mentally sighed in irritation. He was probably off having sex with some chick right now. He rolled his eyes as the bell rang once more, signaling for them to come inside. In the locker room, Flippy didn't waste any time with stripping down. He lifted his shirt over his head, fixing his hair while he was at it. "I can see why so many girls like you now," A lazy, deep voice said from behind him. Flippy turned, only to be faced with Lumpy. Not really who he wanted to see right now. "the body on you is amazing." He ignored him, going back to getting his clothes on.

 

"Where were you?" He asked quietly, but Lumpy avoided the question, continuing to be a pervert.

"You're pretty toned, do you work out?"

"Answer my question." Flippy was going to turn back to him, but a hand trapped him, pinning him to the lockers.

"Y'know I've never done it with a guy before," Flippy, leading him on, pretended to lean in, making Lumpy smirk, before regaining his scowl and punching him square in the face, sending him into the wall with a bloody lip.

"Don't even think about putting your hands on me you sick piece of garbage," He cracked his knuckles. "Unless you want the living shit beat out of you." Lumpy, intimidated, put his hands up in defense.

"A'ight, a'ight," He said shakily, giving forth a nervous laugh. "W-We cool."

 

Flippy seriously hated this guy. How could he just suddenly verbally rape him and then assume that they were 'cool'? Flippy grabbed Lumpy by the collar of his shirt, muttering something to him to emphasize his hate.

 

"No, we're not 'cool,' Lumpy. Don't try that crap on me again, do I make myself clear?"

"Y-Yeah, man... Just p-put me down!"

[zexion/ienzo 52]

((Ooooh Flippy is mad~ Where are the other guys in the locker room at this time ))

 

Splendid practically leaped out of his seat as the bell rang, signalling class was nearly over, with nearly half of the class. Even though it was just the warning bell the teacher gave an irritated sigh, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose. She had been teaching this bunch long enough to k ow that the warning bell pretty much signaled free time until the actual bell so she sat behind her desk, sipping some of her coffee.

 

The bluenette gathered his books and was the first to the door to wait for the class to let out. As he glanced around, ready to gallop out of the room, down the hall, into Gym he noted Shifty sitting oddly still for someone who was just busy texting. His thumbs twitched gently from under the desks but made no move to reply to whatever he had just been sent. He felt as though it hadn't been from Lifty being nothing to the twin said could silence the other. It only fueled them in to continue speaking.

 

~

 

Flaky jumped, dropping her pencil from freight as the warning bell rang, making the rest of the class alert enough to pack up their things and get ready to switch classrooms. As the students in her class scuffled about to get their thongs and her male teacher talked over them to tell them their Homework assignment, Flaky realized the only one not making any sudden movements was Lifty. Which was odd to say the least. She figured he'd be the firt one up and at 'em to go. Bit he was only staring transfixed at his cellphone screen. Flaky thought the better of asking. She had had enough experience with odd and queer today as it was. And upsetting for that matter...

 

From next to her on her left side, Russell handed her back her ballpoint pen she had let him borrow for the lesson. He was always unprepared with a writing utensil--usually tk concerned about bringing his comics to read during break than something to answer questions with. Flaky gladly accepted it, when noting that his phone was glowing in his pocket, like he had recently used it, a smug smirk on his face. Flaky looked back at Lifty. Could Russell have something to do with his odd behavior? The red wad shook her head. No way, what would Russell be saying to Lifty? He usually minded his business about most things anyway...

 

((Feeling sleepy, I'll reply in the morning that way you can reply later if you have time. I need rest so I can learn that new song for you ^^))

[Miku Hatsune 636]

((Watching, bewildered. Lol.))

 

Flippy smirked on triumph down at Lumpy, who looked genuinely startled right now. But then again, when all eyes in the locker room were on him, getting beaten up by the school heartthrob, not much could be done. Flippy stood, fixing his hat atop his head and pulling it down with a nod, glaring in Lumpy's direction as he exited the Locker room, heading to English.

 

Cuddles followed him out the door, bouncing with each step he took. Cuddles had seen Flippy take control before, but seeing him do it without any girls to swoon around him was a big deal. "That was pretty cool," Cuddles said, grinning at Flippy. "who knew that Lumpy would be interested in guys?"

 

"It doesn't surprise me," Flippy shrugged, checking his bag for his English notebook so he could doodle instead of taking notes in class. "Lumpy will firetruck anything that breathes." He said with a roll of his emerald eyes, making Cuddles laugh that laugh Giggles loved. Flippy almost never laughed at his own jokes, especially not when other people laugh about it. But to help with that flaw of his, when others laughed, he always imagined Splendid's signature laugh in place of theirs, and he couldn't help but smile.

((Aw! That's so cute of Flippy to do!))

 

Splendid was the first to exit the classroom and into the bustling halls of the school, followed by the other not-so-eager kids. As he left te class he vaguely heard the teacher question whether Shifty was alright. Apparently he still hadn't moved--to shocked with what he had been texted. He didn't seem to give her a reply but he heard scuffling which he figured meant Shifty was getting up to go.

 

As Splendid made his way to Gym, he caught a glimpse of a familiar hat a top of a certain someone's head f green hair. Smiling he ran to catch up to him but froze when he saw who was with Flippy. He was with Cuddles and they were both...laughing. Splendid's slight jealousy bubbled in the pit of his stomach and he fell back slightly. He thought Flippy only smiled like that with him. Feeling slightly sour and hurt, Splendid instead re-directed himself to the Boy's Locker Room to get changed for whatever this Gym Period had to offer.

Flaky was the last to leave Math and head to her next class, clinging on to her books like they were a lifeline. She kept her head as she traveled down the familiar halls of her school, not willing to meet the eye of any surrounding students. She wasn't very socialable, nor was she on good terms with many people. Another reason she wasn't anticipating Drama this period. She wasn't going to know anyone in her class--she was sure of it. How could she? It was going to be all Averge kids and maybe one or two Cool kids at best.

 

Flaky was the first in the classroom, sitting in the back of the oddly made room. There was no desks or chairs but instead plush cushions and couches all around the room. Her nose picked up the faint scent of insence and combined with the bright colors, rugs, and photos, the classroom looked like it could be a child's bedroom or a cheap fortune teller stall. Either one seemed to work but Flaky decided to go with the latter when she saw the teacher. She had a colorful maroon, gold, and green robe on with some sort of Celtic design, maroon slacks with a matching shirt and her hair was pulled into a loose bun, thick, glasses that magnified her eyes resting on the bridge of her nose that Flaky noticed she was constantly pushing up. Surprisingly, she wasn't old for a teacher's standards like Flaky had expected. She was young and prett despite her odd choice of clothing, definitely no older than 25.

 

"Hello sweetie, are you here for the Drama course?" She asked kindly. The red head gave a shaky nod, sinking more so into the blushing red cushion she sat on.

Flippy had left Cuddles before they came to the main hallway since the blonde had to catch up to Giggles. Flippy had never understood that. Giggles was such a controlling bitch, but Cuddles was actually a really nice guy. But, unfortunately, he had the feeling that he was only dating her for her looks. (Could be vice versa with Giggles too.) He passed the main hallway with ease, the bustling crowd parting to let him through like he was the second coming of Jesus or some shit like that.

 

But, he didn't even get to English. Instead, he was stopped by the guidance counselor by the arm, who made a 'come hither' motion with her finger to the office. He internally groaned. He hoped he wasn't in for detention on his first day.

 

"So," she began once they arrived at her desk. Flippy sat lazily in his seat, propping up his cheek with his fist while the guidance counselor rested her folded hands over the mahogany desk. "I heard from a student that you got into a bit of a scuffle with another student?" Oh Jesus, not this crap. She probably didn't hear that from Lumpy. Lumpy knew that if anyone told on him, Flippy would personally kick their ass.

Flaky watched as her response sent the Drama teacher into a flutter of delight as she hummed merrily under her breath, clapping her hands as she went. Her ratings jingled as she bobbed her head back and forth, trailing her fingers over the many spines of the thick and thin assortment of books on her crooked shelves--looking as if the whole structure was ready to collapse. Flaky was sure to make a mental note to avoid the shelves just I'm case.

 

"Good, good m'dear. Do you perhaps enjoy Shakespeare and his touching stories of depression and forbidden romance?" The teacher was practically gushing with her words as she pulled out a thick, rose colored play book. Flaky gave a small nod. She ha read a few of the plays and seen them on TV, the only ones she was somewhat familiar with being Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet. Other than that she was really completely clueless when it came to the Arts.

 

"I-I suppose so." Another squeal and giggle of delight resounded throughout the room and a few kids who Flaky was thankful to say she didn't recognize entered the room with the most bewildered glances to each other an then questioningly at Flaky. They must of been Freshmen if they were stupid enough to pay her any mind. Ducking her head she only gave a short shrug in response.

 

"Then you'll love today's opening assignment~!"

 

((Fail reply on my end is a fail.))

Flippy didn't roll his eyes, instead he decided to cooperate, uncaring of who had ratted on him. "Yeah," He breathed, a bit impatiently. She nodded, typing something on her computer quickly.

 

"Ah. I heard that it was someone by the name of... Lumpy?"

"Yeah. 'Punched him."

"Did you have a valid reason to?"

"He was sexually harassing me." She shook her head, a dull smile on her lips. What? Don't believe me? Flippy asked mentally, watching as she brought up his file.

"Says here that Lumpy has never done something of the sort."

"Well, he did." The guidance counselor leaned in carefully.

"I'd watch yourself. One more stunt like that and it'll land you in detention, young man."

"I'll work on it."
