Soft Words

[ghiste]

"Yeah, so once we get there, you can get your classes and stuff, and we can go and find your locker. No problems, I'm sure it wo-"

Pausing noticing that she wasn't following, Ghiste spun around on both of his feet seeing her pretty much frozen. He raised a brow, and tilted his head to the side, the smile on his face vanishing as he began to feel a bit awkward about this. Was this because she was in public with him, or was this how she always acted? Letting out a sigh, Ghiste walked over to her, and let that smile appear back on his face deciding it would only be kind to help her with whatever problem she was having.

"Hey, no need to be so... stiff, what's wrong?"

[Aurora]

She heard Ghiste's voice, and her hazel eyes darted to him. Instantly her throat loosened. She remembered...she wasn't alone in here. Ghiste was here with her.

Her knees unfroze and she let a weak smile creep back onto her face. She had forgotten... With all these people, she had forgotten about it.

"Sorry, I just... with a lot of people, I get nervous." She gulped, eyes looking down on the ground. Aurora was embarassed now, upset with herself for feeling that way. "Sorry Ghiste. Please forgive me."

[ghiste]

"Hey, no worries, everyone has their downs, but you might want to try and get over that little fear you have in the future."

Staying close to Aurora, but not close enough to where it would violate personal space, Ghiste decided he would go when she was ready since this obviously looked to be a little bit harder for her then it would ever be fore Ghiste. That confident smile remained on his face as he looked over down the hallway, the office was close by, so it would only take about a minute of walking, unfortunatley... Then they would need to find her locker, and her classes, and everything else. We only say unfortunately because of her being frightened about being in big groups.

"The office is just up ahead, I'll go when you're ready Aurora."

[Zade]

"Well, hello there."

Zade whispered silently as he looked at the building that seemed to be his school. It had only been two days since he reached the city, and it had taken him a while to find the place, but now remembering the route, he knew now that at least he wouldn't be late anymore. The brown-head had his left hand in his vest pocket, and his right hand holding his backpack over his shoulder. He sighed, then took a step forward, his black Converse shoes making soft sound against concrete. He walked through the courtyard, his eyes darting to every student he could see. Well, at least this place seemed better than his middle school. No gangster wanna-bes, no gothic emos and the likes.

He entered the school building, surprised at the large traffic in front of him. He sighed, then entered, pushing around as he too was being pushed. It seemed that class hasn't started yet. Looks like he was earlier than he thought. Suddenly, a large group of students pushed him aside, and from there, he was practically being dragged around. Zade grunted as someone hit his stomach, and then got his shoulder scraped along a locker. Goddamn it.

Zade then finally managed to get out of a crowd, his hands resting on his knees as he tried to regain his breathing. Man, was it tight in there. Grabbing his bag, he stood up straight, brushing the dust off his vest. And then, he looked up. His eyes widened as he saw a familiar face. He didn't expect her to go to the same school as he did. "Aurora?" He asked as he took a step forward, noticing that she was with another guy. He couldn't help but feel a stong of jealousy in him. Though, why did he? Not like he had that kind of feelings for her... Did he?

[Aurora]

Ghiste really was nice... he was waiting for her despite her silly reactions to large groups of people. The pale girl took a deep breath and tried to steady herself. It was a matter of the mind right? Riight... a matter of just being afraid of it all. Aurora felt as if she couldn't go on just yet. And then she heard something, and her eyes opened.

"Aurora?"

It was Zade! Her roomie! The nice guy! Ghiste was nice too, so now there were two! A smile broke out on Aurora's face as she saw Zade. She felt comfortable around him, and knowing he went to school with her helped. Maybe they even had classes together! Maybe with Ghiste as well!

"Hi Zade!"

She gave a wave, moving to meet him with that smile. She looked over her shoulder at Ghiste still smiling. It was great there were two nice people there! She felt tons better now.

"Ghiste this is Zade, Zade's my roomie. Zade, this is Ghiste, he was showing me around!"

Yes...much better.

[ghiste]

Turning around to see someone else there, that smile that came on Ghiste's face instantly reverted to a frown as he looked at him raising a brow. Looking over at Aurora after she explained herself, Ghiste was silent for a few seconds, just wondering exactly how to take this, something didn't seem right. Still, assuming it was his imagination, Ghiste let out a smile then extended his hand out for him to shake it if that was okay with him.

"Hey Zade, nice to meet you."

There wasn't much more to it, Ghiste wasn't really the jealous type because he didn't really feel strongly toward that many people. He was just naturally kind, or so, that was the way it looked. Anyways, Ghiste wasn't just going to be sexist and single this guy out just because he knew a girl Ghiste had just met and barely knew at all, that was just over egotistical!

[Zade]

Zade looked at Ghiste, giving him as friendly a smile as he could give. Wasn't exactly friendly, but meh, it was good enough. He grabbed Ghiste's hand and shook it gently. No, there was no extra pressure in his squeeze. It was simply a friendly handshake. "Nice to meet you too, Ghiste." He returned the smile, and then let go of his hand. Now, to Aurora. He turned to face her and gave her another one if smile. "Hey, Aurora. I didn't expect to see you here. Why didn't you tell me you studied here too?"

Well, maybe cause he never asked? Yeah. That was it. He never asked which school she was in, so she didn't say. Ok. That was a pretty dumb question to ask, eh? But hell, Zade didn't know any other way to start a conversation. Zade's eyes then wandered to the clock overhead, and he couldn't help but look at Ghiste and ask. At first, he wanted to ask when his class started, but he remembered. He didn't even know what his classes were and when they were going to be held! "You guys got your schedules yet?"

[Aurora]

"Yeah, I didn't think you'd be going here as well for some reason. Pretty silly, right Zade?"

A chuckle escaped her lips, soft as her voice normaly was. She looked at Zade, then at Ghiste. Yes, perfectly comfortable despite the crowd now.

"You guys got your schedules yet?"

Oh! Right! Class schedule! She still needed that!

"Ghiste was showing me where the office was, and was going to help me find my locker and such. He's really nice. Thanks again Ghiste!" Hopefuly the quest for said things would continue. With Zade as an added party member. Aurora kept smiling, feeling great about all of this. The red head looked around, able to move smoothly now.

"To the office?"

[ghiste]

"Good, she isn't alone... It sucks being by yourself, to have nobody with you, I know how she feels, but... unlike her, I have yet to find someone I can truly be around, and so I hide by being around others to make myself feel better... Yet, in the end, I know all I care about is myself... Pretty sad really, just really sad. To thi-"

He was cut off noticing that Aurora was asking a question, and Ghiste let out a nervous laugh a bit frightened for a second. The office, right the office, come on Ghiste, think! Letting that grin go back onto his face, and then scratching the back of his his head, his fingers going in that smooth long brown hair of his, he quickly turned around beginning to move forward.

"Right! It's just ahead, no worries!"

They would probably make it pretty soon. Oh right, Ghiste was being rude wasn't he!? He forgot completely about Zade, and he couldn't just do that, could he? Turning back around to look at him, his dull green eyes glaring right at him, his eyebrows lifted in a more care free way he began to speak trying to forget all that he was thinking about.

"Hey, feel free to come along Zade. Oh, and are new here as well?"

[Zade]

So, she too didn't have her schedule yet. Well, time to join the quest, eh? He wondered who would join the rest of the party, and since he came late, wouldn't he have lesser experience points than them? Curses. He needed to catch up. Now to find some fiends and kill them for experience points. And he seriously needed to stop playing RPG games. As Ghiste started leading the way, Zade turned and followed. "Yeah. I'm new here. Just moved in two days ago."

Zade gave Ghiste a smile, then to Aurora. She was the same. In fact, she only arrived ten minutes after he did. He turned back to Ghiste, wanting to conitnue the conversation. Well, he looked young enough, so he had to guess he was a freshman too. That meant they would be going to the same classes. Meh. Maybe an unlike friendship would come up too. Who knows? "So, how longer till the office?"

[Aurora]

Aurora followed the two, smile on her face. She moved smoothly, keeping up with the males. Ghiste had said it wasn't far off, and Aurora kept her positive attitude about it all. Just convinced she'd have classes with both of them. Maybe not at the same time, but at least one of them had to be in every class right?

"I hope we have classes together."

Happy go lucky Aurora moment. She kept walking, one foot in front of another. At least, one foot in front of another....until she did what Ghiste had done before. Tripped.

Stumbled forward and grabbing onto Ghiste to stop herself from fully falling onto the ground. Her face was bright red, hazel eyes wide again. How many times would she embarass herself?

"S-sorry!" She let go slowly, standing herself upright. The girl was bright red just like her hair. Aurora would have a shy moment for a bit.

[ghiste]

"W, woah!"

Being pulled back, Ghiste's stomach jumped a bit afraid somebody was planning on killing him or something! Still, he realized it was just Aurora, and apparently all she did was trip. Turning around with a smile, he tilted his head to the side, she really did get embarrassed easily. Putting his right hand onto her left shoulder, hoping it would be too uncomfortable, if so he would instantly slip it off he began to talk to try to comfort her.

"Look, it's alright, we all trip, at least you didn't do a face plant like I did!"

Taking his hand off now, if she didn't force it off earlier, Ghiste would look over at Zade, a more serious look on his face. It was easier to talk to him in a normal tone then having to be reassuring all the time, so he sort of had a different personality switching between the two of them. It was evident, but it was only out of kindness, nothing more.

"It's right around the right corner just up ahead. Not too far."

Looking back over at Aroura with that confident smile, Ghiste gave a reassuring nod of his head then turned around to begin walking again. It would be stupid if he just stopped every time she was embarrassed, and it would draw attention, it wasn't that hard to get to the office. Of course, Ghiste wasn't so blunt, but that was the main reason he kept walking. It would be more embarrassing if people noticed them stopping all the time like this!

[Zade]

Zade's head turned when he heard Aurora yelp and saw her falling forward. He was about to catch her when he saw that Ghiste already did, and Zade wasn't sure whether to be thankful or not. Once more, he felt a pinge of jealousey, but tried not to show it. In fact, he wasn't even sure why he felt it. As Ghiste looked at him, Zade looked back, taking in what he was telling him. Ah, ok. Zade gave him a smile, then walked on, staying behind Ghiste. He gave Aurora a smile, showing that he was relieved she didn't fall face flat.

"So, Ghiste. If you don't mind, tell me more about the school." He asked, wanting to start a conversation the pass the time, or whatever time they had left. As he did, he kept his eyes in front, hoping not to get into another human tsunami, or he was screwed. Very screwed.

[Aurora]

Aurora kept following, trying not to trip again. The girl just had this thing about stumbling into people, and tripping. At least she didn't forget too many things!

She listened and walked. One foot in front of the other once again. Her eyes kept darting back and forth between the two of them.

ooc: not much to post o.o I couln't think of anything, sorry ^^;;

[ghiste]

"The school... It's okay I guess, a lot of violence goes around, and I even have to fight a few times myself. Still, my advice, stay on the good side of the teachers, you don't have to like them, but don't go against them..."

What else was there to say? Ghiste didn't know everything about the school, he just attended it like any other normal student! It wasn't like he secretly tried to find out everything about it, this was enough any normal person would need to know. Ghiste was much more wanting to have a social reputation then a violent reputation, it just made things a lot easier. Of course, even with a social reputation, people still just want to fight you, but instead of for the challenge, it's usually for some sort of student reason that makes no sense.

Still! We aren't here to talk about that because I have good news for everyone! They have reached the office, yep, and so Ghiste would just wait outside of it letting them get their schedules, and if they wanted for some reason, totally ditch him.

"Alright, well... you'll can get your schedules in there, I'll just wait for you, and... yeah."
