On Spot

[allison]

7:30 a.m.

"Shoot..." Allison muttered, reaching over to the night-stand at the side of her bed and turning off the alarm clock that was ringing hysterically. Sitting up to rub her eyes, Allison slipped out from under the quilts of her bed and stood up on the carpetted floor of her room. "I hate school." She spoke to herself quietly as she walked right across from the bed to the wooden dresser, taller then it was wide, and cleaned recently. Allison pulled one of the drawers open and took out her usual white dress shirt and her black skirt with a pair of nylon stockings, slipped out of her pink pajamas' which were very similar to a one-piece bathing suit, Allison fit her legs into the stockings, her waist through the skirt and the shirt over her chest. Placing her curly red locks into a ponytail, Allison fit a black baseball cap with a white rose embroided on it's front in lines onto her head and stepped out of the bedroom. She slipped into her flat-heel black shoes as she placed some books into her small leather backpack, went into the kitchen and took a bowl of cold maccoroni and cheese from the fridge, put it in the microwave and ate it quickly and then it was off to school for the redhead before anyone else woke up.

8:30 a.m.

It took her an hour to walk to #259, the school she had enrolled herself in, with mother's consent and Morgan's approval, Elora walked slowly into the school hallways which weren't too packed with students. Not as much as #101 was, back in New York. Holding the backpack over her shoulder, she did the usual school-run, to the head office and picked up her locker pin, number, location, a school map and books for each class she would be attending to regularly. Allison pulled the baseball cap lower to hide the appearence of her face, not wanting to attract any unwanted attention, though it was highschool. Attention was what it was all about, parsly, though Allison wasn't looking forward to meeting someone who was all smooth moves and sweet talking from the beginning. She was interested in getting to class on time, getting to school on time, making friends, trustworthy friends, and nothing more. For now that is. Budging in her locker combination, Allison opened the metal door and stuffed her books in on the top shelf, threw her backpack on the bottom shelf and then closed it. Class period wasn't for a little bit, Allison turned around and looked into the little portions of students mingling in the hallway as she slipped a piece of gum from a foil wrapper and placed it into her mouth.

"Hopefully this'll be a highschool experience worth experiencing."

[ghiste]

OOC: Hey! >_>

"Dude, I'm telling you, today just isn't your day."

Two guys were walking down the hallway, one was the pretty well known Ghiste, who was wearing his awesome black leather jacket, baggy blue jeans, and had his long smooth brown hair in that sexy way which just makes you scream in your mind 'hot'. As for the other, he was a less attractive, more annoying guy named Kenny. Kenny, was also the guy talking, and the voice was like that of the geeks on the cartoons, it was very hard to bare. Still, bare Ghiste must as this guy was bugging him the entire morning since he stepped foot into this hallway.

Damn it hurt trying to be nice.

"Yeah, I know what you mean..."

Ghiste said in that low puberty struck voice of his as he passed his way around a corner where a bunch of other students were talking and such in there own little groups. Ghiste was wondering something, he was wondering if he should grab his pencil from inside his pocket, and then jab it in hard into this guy's neck getting him to shut up. Still, he had to hold back his efforts of violence, he didn't want his reputation to be soiled so soon after all.

"Hey, do you think I can score with that girl over there?"

Kenny pointed way far out to a girl chewing gum and standing near lockers all by herself. She was pretty good looking, but the majority of girls at every high school were like that in his eyes. Nothing Ghiste needed to worry about, he could maintain his testosterone in a little sealed up bottle, even when around the other sex. Letting out a grin Ghiste shook his head finding the thought of him wanting the girl to be hilarious. Kenny, the guy with glasses, yellow crooked teeth, zits all over his face, and curly brown hair, plus that annoying voice nobody could stand! He may be rich in the future, but right now, he was a big LOSER!

"Not a chance."

Looking over at him with almost pleading eyes, Ghiste backed up a few feet a bit confused.

"Go hook me up."

"What!?"

"Go hook me up!"

"N, no way!"

"Please!"

"No!"

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!"

"O, okay... just... you go away, watching us blows your chances, and makes me look like a retard."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Yeah, but don't blame me if it doesn't work..."

"You're the best!"

With that, Kenny walked back a few feet seeing if Ghiste would keep his part of the word, and wasn't just ditching him. With that said, Ghiste moved forward deciding to talk to her. No, not to hook them up, to get away from the weird guy who was following him all morning! Oh how Ghiste regretted trying to be nice to people! After a few seconds of walking, Ghiste found himself talking to the girl leaning on the lockers chewing gum. (This would be you.)

"Hey, got anymore gum I could have?"

Okay, dumb opener, but Ghiste wasn't expecting to have a huge conversation with her unless she wanted to have on with the 'pretty boy'. Eh? It didn't matter to Ghiste to much in the end.

OOC: Right, I don't plan on posting this long as the thread continues unless you really want to, this was just an opener after all. >_>

[allison]

OOC: Hiya Ghiste.

Chewing gum by her locker waiting for period to start, Allison twiddled her thumbs together, opening her mouth every few seconds to help with her chewing the rubber candy. She noticed most the girls in the hallway were wearing jeans and there was a somewhat majority of shorts, she was practically the only girl in the hall wearing a skirt, and that meant bad business for Allison. Bad attention at least, especially with a skirt so short. She chewed on the pink gum constantly, letting the atompshere of the school slap her in the face as she stood by her locker calmly.

"Oh brother..."
Allison spoke to herself under her breath, seeing two guys from behind a couple of other students staring at her, pointing. Both guys. She pulled the tip of her hat down further, hiding her purple eyes under the black cap, wishing that they weren't looking at her. False, she knew they were, Allison couldn't help it if she was attractive, but worth the thought, eh? As she continued to chew her gum, Allison heard footsteps and assumed it was one of the two guys she saw staring at her. "I just hope it's not the ugly one." She thought to herself, since talking to ugly guys really didn't appeal to her because Allison was a nice person, and by being nice to creeps usually made them think she liked them, and Allison hated to be impolite.

"Hey, got anymore gum I could have?"

Allison took a second to look past the tip of her hat and saw it was the nicer looking guy, she wasn't attracted, but comparing him to the other guy he was pretty handsome. Allison thought for a second and then pushed her right hand into the pocket on her skirt placed on her right thigh, searching for another piece of gum. Her fingers touched some foil, Allison pulled it out of her pocket and looked at the un-open gum, handing it over to him.

"Sure. Strawberry flavour." She spoke without moving anything more then her hand to give the gum to him, not even getting a closer look at him.

OOC: It doesn't really matter to me about the post length, write however you want ^^

[ghiste]

"Yeah, thanks."

Taking the gum into his hand, Ghiste unwrapped it, put the trash into the pocket of his jean, and then popped the gum into his mouth letting the strawberry goodness fill his taste buds. Yummy! Alright, back to the point, after all, this wasn't all about Ghiste and chewing his gum, he was now talking to this girl. She definitely was dressed a bit awkward, but there was a few others Ghiste has seen with skirts before, not many, but some. Letting out a friendly smile, well trying to while still chewing the gum at the same time, he looked back over his shoulder, and Kenny was still looking. Giving an annoying wave sign to tell him to go away, he finally did so before Ghiste looked back over at the girl while thinking to himself.

"My god! Talk about embarrassing, I swear, why the hell did I have to ask him for the time this morning? He is so weird!"

Looking back up at the girl after the whole thing, he kept that grin, and then began to speak again, a confident voice filled with love and friendliness!

"So like, what's with the fancy clothes?"

Alright, maybe that's over exaggerating, but it wasn't filled with hatred at least!

[allison]

Allison stood still chewing her pink gum, making bubbles through her lips, nudging her head back and forth onto the locker softly. She noticed the guy with zits standing a few feet away, he had probably sent over this other guy to get her phone number or something. Allison wasn't giving numbers though, and the most she was giving was a name. And if the guy had other intentions she would just wait around 'til period anyway, though she wouldn't mind a conversation right now.

"No problem,"
She tossed him. Purple eyes glittering, Allison made effort to raise her hat enough to take another peek at him. She saw his brown hair and green eyes, and couldn't prevent the smirk come onto her lips as she pulled her hat back down over her face. "He's not too bad looking to tell the truth. But the guys nice on the outside are never too pretty on the inside." Allison guessed, and ignored any other thoughts that clouded in her head. She had noticed something, the guy with the glasses and zits had dissappeared from her view, thankfully, but Allison wondered about something. Why hadn't he come up with this guy? She had seen them standing together, strange.

"So like, what's with the fancy clothes?"

Allison heard him ask, and she looked over herself. Her white shirt was dry-cleaned, orders of her older sister Morgan, and her skirt was well-ironed and lint-free but she wasn't dressed fanicily. "Or maybe he's just comparing me to himself." Allison thought, looking over his baggy clothes. She shrugged, chewing on her gum, couldn't make up her mind whether she should go along thinking the guy was attractive or just try and keep herself bottled until first period. Simple shrug, she bit her lip before replying casually, "Their not fancy. Just a simple skirt and blouse," She said, Allison blinked. Maybe her clothes were a bit fancy, "Just ... expensive.

[ghiste]

"Well, you got to remember most of the people here 'can't even afford to pay attention'. They are pretty poor... Hell, I bet half of them can't afford this jacket of mine. Nothing against it, but... not too often you actually see someone who is willing to wear a skirt and such, y'know?"

Yeah, Ghiste wasn't trying to pick on the less fortunate who don't have the money to buy a simple piece of clothing which wasn't used or a hand me down. Still, you had to make that a fact when you notice someone with more of an expensive attire on. Alright, now that we got that explained Ghiste found himself at a loss of words, it would be weird if he kept talking all the time anyways. Sure, he could say some more things, but not giving her a chance to speak? What kind of self centered guy would do something like that?

So, Ghiste moved his back against the locker, flipping his head back, and getting his hair out of his face then turned it slightly to where he was still giving eye contact toward the girl. Simple as that, no more words said, Ghiste was waiting for her to speak, and all of that other good stuff that went around in a conversation. Not much happens in the span of ten seconds after all!

[allison]

"Well, you got to remember most of the people here 'can't even afford to pay attention'. They are pretty poor... Hell, I bet half of them can't afford this jacket of mine. Nothing against it, but... not too often you actually see someone who is willing to wear a skirt and such, y'know?"

Allison didn't get it when he mentioned her skirt, but she did understand everything else he said. Yes, the other students around did look pretty poor, clothes wrinkled, damp, dirty or smelly. She shrugged, it wasn't her fault that she was probably the best dressed there, and she wasn't just going to go home and slip into something sloppy because everyone else was terribly dressed and probably felt a little ashamed when they spotted her attire. Allison stood there for a bit, waiting for him to keep talking, start another subject, ask her name probably, but he didn't speak at all.

"I guess he wants me to." A long sigh went through Allison's head, since she wasn't exaclty one to bring up topics and so, she wasn't a very talkative person but the guy seemed interesting. He probably thought he was handsome, but his looks weren't very appealing to Allison, since she wasn't exaclty looking for a boyfriend before first period. Chewing on the gum constantly in her mouth, tossing it about with her tongue until the last drop of juicy fruit went down her throat, Allison took the gum out of her mouth, no trash can in arm's length or in her view, she turned around and stuck it on the edge of her locker. Turning back to the brown-haired guy, she took off her baseball cap letting her perfectly smooth complexed face reveal. Holding it by her side in her left hand, Allison managed a smile.

"Maybe my attire is a bit different from everyone else's, and I'm probably making some people angry because I'm richer then them, but - ohmigosh! It's not my problem, and don't get me wrong, I'm not a cold-hearted girl but I'll dress how I dress. I do know there are still some poor kids around, but not like I've an income to just toss everyone a thousand bucks a week, right? I wake up, put on clothes, go to school. Not my fault I have no sloppy clothing," She explained quietly, "You know...I'm not everybody else, I'll do things a different way if it means being myself. Being original. " Allison simply shrugged, her radiant smile not leaving her face for one second though, she thought probably she had been a little harsh with her choice of explaining herself but she didn't mean to give that impression. She usually talked straight-forward like that.

"By the way, the name's Allison."

OOC: I decided not to use colors for my speech >_> anymore

[ghiste]

"I wasn't complaining, I was just making that the fact as to why I considered them fancy over other things, no worries. Right, and the name's Ghiste."

Maybe she has heard of him, maybe she hasn't? Ghiste had gotten pretty popular, people usually talked about him, some were better views, while some were worse. Many things described the guy, pretty boy, good looking, tough, but then you got, cowardly, stupid, and lazy. Rumors really didn't matter to Ghiste, you have to expect them when you go around making yourself known, and everything in such a short period of time. Still, rather she recognized the name or not, it didn't matter to Ghiste in the end, though he was more of hoping she didn't know it. Nothing worse than having to shake a reputation you never intended on making!

"So, how long have you been attending this place?"

Worth asking right? Ghiste kept that friendly smile that just made him so cool to talk to, and also kept his eye contact toward the girl as he spoke. He showed her total respect, just like he was supposed to. Yeah, she was pretty, but that wasn't on Ghiste's mind, he was more of wondering how a girl with her looks was hanging around by herself. It wasn't often those who have better 'features' hung out alone, besides those none talkative, 'I'm going to kill you' types that Ghiste also knew. If she was new, then it would make sense, if not... Well,... let's just find out how she answers!

Oh, and when we say new, we mean rather she transfered here on the day it opened like Ghiste or not.

[allison]

"I wasn't complaining, I was just making that the fact as to why I considered them fancy over other things, no worries. Right, and the name's Ghiste."

Another sigh floated through Allison's head, she wasn't sighing openly, not to give off the wrong impression to the guy that he was getting boring or anything. The sigh this time was one of relief after he mentioned he was only trying to point out his opinion, her dull pink lips, moisture and spread a distance from each other, sucked in some air as quickly as they then let it back out again. Seizing the name, it wasn't the usual name you'd hear like 'Jack' or 'John', but it didn't sound bad either. "Sort of cute." Allison snickered quietly, as she then spoke,

"Ghiste, you say? Nice to meet you." She said, not offering a hand for shaking or even making her eyes completely focus on his, she just repeated his name sourly through the wind. Allison stood there casually with her sholders pressing into the cold metal which supported her balance, silence for a good few seconds and she hoped Ghiste was expecting her to start the talk up again. Allison waited for a bit longer, to see if Ghiste was going to say anything or not, and just as she was going to bring up another topic, one she still wasn't sure what it was going to be of, he had spoken again.

"So, how long have you been attending this place?"
Allison blinked her eyes, turning her head to him and looking straight-arrow into his eyes, her expression pale and surprised as if he had asked her the stupidst thing she'd ever heard in her life! And doah, he had! Allison shook her head a few times vertically but then turned back to her normal position, staring forward, leaning against the locker as her expression turned once again blank. "How long have I been standing here?" She countered the question with one of her own, which would pretty much answer Ghiste's question and probably certify to him how stupid it was in the first place.

OOC: >_> Tell me it's not awkward that this is almost the complete opposite of my first day thread in #552

[ghiste]

"I don't know, you were standing there before I got here."

Oh! What now, Ghiste just countered with his own sentence, and that smile on his face widened to a smirk. He could easily counter, of course, it wasn't that good of a come back, but he wasn't here to hurt her feelings, why would he do something like that? Of course, he wouldn't of known if she was knew or not, he wasn't a psychic, and he has been attending school for quite awhile now. Well, more than a few days at least, that was for sure. Well, that was just a side comment, Ghiste wasn't actually going to add any tension, though his smirk remained on his face, that was usually his way of laughing, that and chuckling anyways. He didn't burst laughing like an idiot, that was no his emotion of happiness, unless he was tickled, but let's not go there!

Now, Ghiste wasn't assuming she would just stay silent after saying something like this, he was sure that she would come with some come back, either that, or she really sucked as these conversations, Ghiste even left the opening purposely. Of course, he wasn't one to be effected by insults, so he does something people think are stupid, that's just in his nature! No denying it, right!?

[allison]

"I don't know, you were standing there before I got here."

"Oh, so he wants to play a smart-ass. Well, I'm game for that." Allison thought to herself, no smile, no smirk, just an adjustable grin as she leaned her shoulders against the cold metal and shrugged. "Yea, I guess I was, but only an idiot would think someone would stand against their locker for more then five minutes before finding something better to do." Allison spoke quietly, not wanting the conversation to be anything more then a conversation, she didn't raise her voice towards Ghiste in-case he thought she might be intentionally insulting him. Because she wasn't, just countering his wise-crack comments with some of her own. Trouble was the last thing on Allison's mind at the moment, and Ghiste seemed like a pretty clever person to talk to, so she didn't want to cut the whole conversation short.

Thinking it'd probably be best to drop the whole smart-ass competition then and there, Allison looked around for something else to start a little chat about, eyes surfing across the hall as her brain looked over itself, checking if she had anything worthy to talk about now. It was about another half an hour or so before first period it seemed, little groups of students walked through the halls giglging, laughing, a few guys sharing some skin way down the hall which was only noticeable to Allison because of the commotion going on at that end, not much of a subject to go on. But then something caught Allison's eye, the empty space a few feet away from her and Ghiste. "Wasn't someone standing there?" She questioned herself, and then looking about, where was the kid with the glasses? The ugly guy. Allison didn't know whether or not Ghiste wanted to keep up the stupid smart-ass conversation, she just blinked twice, registering the empty place and then wished another piece of gum was in her mouth to splash some flavour onto her tongue as she spoke,

"Hey, where'd your friend go? The ugly guy?"

[ghiste]

"Unless the idiot was thinking the girl he was talking to was an idiot as well."

With that said, Ghiste's smirk grew even larger as you could tell he had no hostility toward this at all. This was something commonly seen, people making fun of each other for kicks, as long as you didn't take it to far, nothing was wrong. It was much easier one on one too because nobody was ganging up on you! Still, it seemed that she may not be wanting to continue this because it wasn't long after this comment before she brought up the whole ugly kid thing. Gross, now he had to talk about something that he didn't really care to talk about. Well, that's life, he could easily make up something off the top of his mind like usual.

"Ugly guy? Oh! Kenny? He wanted to go do something, so like... he left."

[allison]

"Unless the idiot was thinking the girl he was talking to was an idiot as well."

...That was a good comeback. Allison wasn't offended in the least either, since she had called him an idiot herself so no harm done, except maybe Ghiste was taking this a bit too far. She hoped he would answer her question, about the ugly guy, to drop the dumb subject. Allison twitched her fingers around by her sides, letting her hands fall a good length by her waist, something was missing today. She didn't feel fully dressed, which was strange, until of course Allison realized what was missing! "Accessories." She thought to herself, and then recalled the leather backpack she had brought along, bringing her little rosey accesories. Litteratley rosey. Allison didn't reply to Ghiste's comment this time and just waited for him to answer her question about the guy she saw him with, fortuneatley he did,

"Ugly guy? Oh! Kenny? He wanted to go do something, so like... he left."

"Oh," Allison replied, nodding. But then she was sort of lost, shifting her head towards Ghiste, she looked at him in confusion. "But um ... how did you know that when you've been standing here talking to me all this time and he was way out there?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at Ghiste. "Or maybe he told Ghiste before he came over here.

[ghiste]

"I wouldn't of come to ask you for the gum if I didn't know he was going to leave, y'know?"

Right! Good come back, Ghiste wasn't too bad at conversing with his peers, there were times he had his ups and downs, but he was pretty good int he art of conversations. That smirk stayed on his lips, the lovely smirk, the white teeth being flashed about proudly, though Ghiste barely cared to take notice of it, just natural. And there he was, standing there with Allison, a good conversation going on between two normal students attending this place.

"Why? Do you like him or something?"

Just a joke, a friendly joke! He hoped she wouldn't take it seriously...

[allison]

"I wouldn't of come to ask you for the gum if I didn't know he was going to leave, y'know?"

"But if he said he was leaving wouldn't he have left from my sight right after Ghiste came over? As far as I recall, 'Kenny' just left a few minutes ago." Allison was confused, biting her lip, she nodded, just making Ghiste believe she believed him which she wasn't fully sure she did yet. Turning around, Allison pulled her locker open and bent down in her tight skirt, unzippering her leather backpack to get her accesories. Not trying to avoid the conversation or Ghiste, but she usually wore them and she felt sort of attached to them now.


"Why? Do you like him or something?"
She heard Ghiste ask while digging through the large pocket of the bag with her fingers, Allison grinned as she pulled out the red rose-pattern earrings, clipping them onto her earlobes, she pulled out one more item as she stood back up and closed her locker, turning to look at Ghiste as she fitted the black collar around her neck. It had a fine fake rose on it with glitter, as she fitted it onto her neck she replied to his question, which she was guessing was a joke. Allison wouldn't think someone would ask her a stupid question like that and actually be serious about it! Who would like such a ugly guy? "Eh? What? ... are you a girl?" Allison figured it would be more interesting to counter the question, though she wasn't trying to start all those wise crack jokes all over again.
