Drivers ED? (Class)

[Zack Asiv]

Yep, thats right, doesn't matter what age you are or class your gonna learn how to drive and get your student drivers license punks.

Or so said the paper on the student bulletin board. It gave the place in the school parking lot, where numerous cars where waiting, because he was positive at least half of them would be crashed today. Thats right Mr. Asiv, the Supervisor himself was going to be teaching Drivers ED. He stood there with a clip board and a sheet, where he would place names, pass, or fail. He had numerous other markers, but they where not as boldly lettered on the clip board as those two.

He had a cig in his mouth the orangish red glow and smoke obviouse as the students would make their way to the drivers ed field of work. Or more death trap, the first person to run this obsticle course was in for many surprises. Everyone else will have a choice, to either ride int he car, or wait and watch from the start/finish point. It was really simple to sing up for Drivers Ed. All you got to do is walk up, tell Asiv your name, and then get int he car with him and drive the obsticle course.

[chihiro]

Hmm, driver's ed. It was probably a large waste of time, she didn't even have a car...yet. Maybe after this she could get a job. A job meant money, money meant a car, and a car meant the ultimate in teenage freedom.

So, for this reason and this reason only did the junior find herself approaching the obstacle course dressed in a pair of vintage jeans, a black long sleeved shirt and a pink poufy vest zipped 2/3rds of the way up. She also had a pink ribbon in her hair, secured around the crown of her head to keep the long raven strands from falling into her eyes. He chocolate eyes are wide, with an underlying feeling of a deer in the headlights, a new expression since her meeting with the brown haired transfer. Her mouth was curved into a small frown as she approached the supervisor.

"Chihiro Amuri."

She offered, her tone slightly flat, unexpressive, her hands in the pockets of her vest.

[Aureus]

Unlike other classes, Aureus didn't really have a choice whether or not to take this one. Asiv had made a point, in person, that he wanted all of his Pillars to set a good example for the whole school. Therefore, the schizo would be learning how to drive. He wasn't really thrilled about this, as walking, running, or skateboarding everywhere had always worked for him in the past. He supposed it would be a valuable skill to possess, even if he wasn't going to drive though. You never knew when you'd have to get somewhere fast, with a car being the only option. Like if you had to get someone to the hospital.

Slowly approaching the parking lot, Aureus' hands were stuffed deep into his pockets. The dark denim pant legs scraped rhythmically against each other with every step the boy took. He was staring down at the blacktop, not really paying attention to anything. Eventually he arrived in front of the small group of students. He had planned on talking to the supervisor, but was surprised when he saw Chihiro there. Forgetting about Asiv for the time being, Aureus walked up behind his girlfriend and wrapped his arms lightly around her waist. It seemed she would be the first to drive the obstacle course. "Good luck, beautiful." He whispered in her ear. It'd be wise not to let anyone know you two are involved with each other; much less give them a little display. Levi chided, but his alternate personality ignored him.

[Mitsuki Park]

Drivers Education - the place where you legally learn how to drive and legally get your license - if not, permit. Of course, Mitsuki being Mitsuki, she already knew how to drive, and already had a fake drivers license, but because of Mr. Asiv wanting the pillars to set a good example, she had to follow suit. Pretty much a waste of time, but Mitsuki didn't think she'd have too much of a problem passing this class. Then again, Mr. Asiv is the driving instructer for this class, and he pretty much is full of surprises, which only made her wonder. Was there going to be cardboard deer popping out of no where? Or perhaps he had bullies get a hold of a couple of students, and they'd push the student out into the open to make us - the drivers - surprised, and hope that we're smart enough to make a sharp turn and avoid it? Although there was a high chance that these wouldn't happen, anywhere, for that matter, you still would never know with Mr. Asiv there. Remembering how Mitsuki delivered pizza's to the office, he seemed pretty much like any other normal sixteen year old partying.

On this particular day, she wore black, long Adida's sweats and a plain black and red zip-up sweater with a hood, a white sleeveless shirt underneath, but over a blue one, giving it that light blue effect. She had three layers of shirts on - the two sleeveless shirts, and the sweater to provide her warmth on this cool Autumn day. A light gray beanie was placed on her head, over her ears, keeping them warm, her red hair pulled into two tight French braids, her side bangs and shorter layers of hair loose, along with the usual black and red mask that was pulled over the bottom half of her face. Her eyes were an unusual color today, like fire - a mix - a blend - between bright red, orange and yellow, making her eyes stand out the most between everything she was wearing today. Wearing her studded gloves, they were placed inside the pockets of her sweater, while headphones were placed in her ears, the MP3 player hidden in her pocket, the black wires blending in quite well with her clothing, making it seem as if there was no MP3 player at all.

Stepping out onto the cool blacktop of the school, she made her way silently towards the Drivers Education area where a car would be waiting, along with the teacher. Mitsuki made sure she was a little late so she wouldn't have to drive first, since she wanted to see what kind of tricks Mr. Asiv had up his sleeves. And if he didn't, then he didn't; simple as that. Once she was in view, the first thing she saw was Aureus - a pillar, and some other girl. Barely paying attention to that, she shifted her eyes to see Mr. Asiv standing there, with a cigerette in his mouth, the tip glowing a red and orange hue. She turned her eyes away, and went towards the bike racks, where she leaned against it. Well - they were outside, were they not? The bike racks were actually quite close to where Mr. Asiv and the others were standing. Probably only 12-15 feet away?

And she just stood there in silence, distancing herself from the others. That's who she was - anti-social, you could say. But it was for their own good, was it not? She didn't want people kidnapping others just to lure Mitsuki in; the only person she would consider being close to would be her brother, and he knew how to fend for himself. There was Aris, but considering the fact that she hadn't seen him for a while, eh.

Maybe she needed a dog of some sort.

[chihiro]

It would be an understatement to say that the Aureus' approached had startled her. As the arms fell around her waist, and she felt the breath on her ear as he whispered, she jumped where she stood on the sidewalk with a gasp, her eyes widening even further as her mind was flooded with memories and feelings. The classroom, the cold, the blinking red light of the camers...followed almost instantaneously by the mixture of fear, guilt, disgust, embarrassment, and heartache.

These feelings grew as she glanced back to the belonger of these arms. It was the boy who really held her affections, who had broken through her cold heart and found the real her...and who also had no idea how terrible of a person she really was. You knew it, you knew you were going to hurt him sometime...just not so soon. She glanced back in front of her, unable to look into his eyes, because she was afraid if she did, he would see everything in hers. She gave his arms a squeeze where they rested around her in a hug, regaining her composure.

"Thanks.."

She whispered back, doing what she could to manage a smile for his sake. At least one of them could still be happy for now. He's going to find out, and when he does, you'll be all alone again. From the corner of her eye she noticed another girl approach the group, she recognized her as the school captain. She seemed to be a bit aloof, but this didn't really register in her thoughts much as her mind was still reeling from the near scare, and trying not to let it show through her expression.

[Aureus]

What the hell? Aureus wondered after Chi freaked out. Sure, he could see that maybe she wasn't used to being hugged all the time, but her reaction seemed a bit...drastic. Then there was the way she avoided his eyes, and the empty, almost fearful tone in her voice. Something was wrong, very wrong, and the smile slid off of the Pillar's face as fast as it had appeared.

Letting her go, Aureus took a step back and studied her. Full defense mode. That's what her body language is screaming. "Chi? What's wrong?" He asked, almost sure she would lie about it. She wouldn't want him to worry, it was basic human nature. He was going to find out what was wrong though. If he she wasn't honest, he couldn't help her, and helping her, supporting her was one of his main concerns.

[chihiro]

The girl's breath was fast and shallow, he knew something was up. He knew, and now he was going to hate her and in front of everyone, she could feel their eyes burning into her. Jeebus, so now she was paranoid too? Great. With a few larger breaths, closing her eyes briefly, she calmed herself enough to manage to speak.

"N-nothing, I'm fine."

Ouch, a tug on her heartstrings as she consciously pushed him away instead of pulling him closer like she wanted to. She would talk to him later, later when no one else was around to see the great Chihiro Amuri fall from grace in the eyes of the boy she loved.

She took a small step forward, raising her gaze to the school supervisor and his clip board.

"When are we going to begin?"

[Zack Asiv]

The Asiv inside of Zack's head was horrofied by how many showed up within' the first few minutes, it had sprung backwards thrown up a cross and started chanting in Latin. "The power of christ compelles you." As well as a hiss, throwing up his right leg while turning to the side to block himself out from everyone. The physical Asiv didn't change much except Write down Chihiro Amuri on hsi little clip board while taking a nice puff, oh the sweet sweet feeling of his lungs turning to ash. anyways he looked around and seemed to make eye contact with multiple unseen people, but only few would notice this, because by the time Chi and Aureus where done with their greeting each other, Asiv was looking at them with a half smile.

Not that he was going to use this info against his own pillar, Gasp. He would never, oh how low do you think he is?! . . . . . Ok so maybe he would, but lets not go too far into this detail. Her question was enough for now and he would signal for her to get in the drivers seat of the car he had his back to. (Where did that come from?) He would get in the passanger seat and buckle up real tight. He would look to Chi with a raised eye brow and a half smile.

"Begin."

And once driving a group of school kid card board boxes would pop up on the make shift side walk, then blow up in a blaze of hell fire and a rocking shockwave. Flame throwing would shoot out in the street each taking up a part on either side, just 10 feet from each other. A speed limit sign half way burnt off by now would say 25 mph. Loud speakers would blare through the explosions and fire to the sound of machine gun fire in the distance, it was almost a literal battle field.

[Aureus]

Liar... Levi said after the girl had spoken, but it wasn't spoken with contempt, more concern than anything else. What scared him more than everything else was the overall...presence of terror she gave off. Like her whole world was crashing down around her. It was killing him, seeing her like this. This was the first time he had been truly concerned for someone other than himself, and not out of anger, but true love. He couldn't let her keep walking around like that.

Stepping forward, close but not too close to her, he tried to reassure her. "Everything's gonna be fine." He said before she stepped into the car. The thing that never occured to him, however, was the fact that Asiv was insane. The Pillar was anything but ready when a bunch of card board box children blew up, and large flames shot out of nowhere. "What the fuck?!" He half-shouted before jumping and falling down. Yes, a Pillar of 250 had fallen down like a scared rabbit. But who the fuck could blame him?!

[chihiro]

She had taken a step in the direction of the vehicle as Asiv made to get in the car when Aureus spoke again. "Everything's gonna be fine.." I wish...she thought miserably before bowing her head a bit in response as she made her way around to the driver's side of the car without a word.

Getting in, she pulled the seatbelt across herself and buckled it in, adjusting her seat and mirrors so she could see. When Asiv told her to, she turned the key in the ignition, placing her right foot on the brake, her left hand on the wheel as she put the car into gear with her right. Letting off the brake, she began to accelerate to the target speed of 25 as indicated by the speed limit sign...that was now engulfed in flames. And then it was the small cardboard children, and then the entire course seemed to be set aflame with gunshot and everything.

The junior screamed, slamming on the brake, the car jolting the occupants as it came to a sudden stop, swerving slightly. She put her arms up instinctly, closing her eyes tight and bowing her head into her arms in the basic defensive move, shaking uncontrollably. And to think she had been traumatized before...

[Zack Asiv]

As he heard the scream and the brakes lock up, he put out a hand instinctively catching himself on the dash board. He looked to Chi before failing her, because he was sure no one would of been prepared for that. He would reach over and place a hand on her shoulder. His Charisma working into this as his words spoke out to calm Chi down.

"Ms. Amuri, please, pay attention to the road, if you notice, these are basically the ultimate in distractions. if you can pass this drivers test, no one can tell you that you can't drive. Now swerve around the fire obsticles and lets keep going. Just watch the road, dont think of it as fire, think of it as a rock, or turn in the street."

He would then lean back in his seat taking his hand from her shoulder and look forward waiting for her to sum up whatever it took to keep going or bailing out right now.

[chihiro]

She jumped away from him as he touched her shoulder, curling agains the door of the car, she had already been jumpy before entering the car but now she was bordering hysteric. Still shaking like mad, she sobbed into her hands briefly before the shock began wore off. The girl wiped her eyes, still shaking like mad, though she was less hysteric thanks to Asiv's charisma. "Just watch the road, dont think of it as fire, think of it as a rock, or turn in the street."

Her knuckled were white as she placed them back on the wheel, gripping tightly. Her breathing was still unsteady and fast, and her eyes were wide as saucer plates, but after a minute she let off the brake, hesitating before accelerating again, much slower as she weaved in and out of the burning objects. She could feel the heat through the car, drying her eyes more effectively than blinking, the sounds of the machine guns still making her jump slightly with each blast. If you can pass this drivers test, no one can tell you that you can't drive...well, there'll be at least one thing she wouldn't fail miserably at...

[Zack Asiv]

"There we go. . . Now just finish up with a perallel par and your good."

Two cars would be spaced out with a lot of room for Chi to park, but as she entered within safety risk the two cars exploded and flew off the ground a couple of feet into the air. He would hold onto her shoulder before it happened to warn her. He didn't feel like suffering more whiplash. Which was so far her only down mark. All she had to do was park, thats it and it would be over. Asiv looked at her with a look of calming and, he would take his hand away once more with confidence in his student driver as he looked forward. He decided some reverse psychology?

"Just think, once you park you will never have to get in this car again with me, and you can go about peaceful quiet drives by yourself, or with Aureus over there. All you gotta do is park. If you park you pass."

[chihiro]

Parallel park...that's all you have to do, parallel park and you're done.. She thought inwardly, her teeth still chattering in her head. He had mentioned driving with Aureus, yeah...she doubted she'd ever get that honor when he finds out...Aye, dios mio... she sighed just as another explosion rocked the parking lot. BOOM. The girl jerked involuntarily again, from both the explosion and the hand on her shoulder. Her nerves were ragged, there was nothing more that could scare her, unless somehow that mocking face were to show up, that would send her over the edge.

Deep breath, deep breath...slowly the girl pulled up to the front burning pile that was once a car, stopping, putting the car in reverse and turing the wheel all the way to the right. Letting off the brake, she backed up a bit, the car turning at an angle as it began to reach the curb. She paused, turning the wheel a bit to the left and then all the way to the left as she continued backing up into the spot. As the rear of the car came close to the second smoldering automobile remains she stopped again, turning the wheel to the right to make it straight, putting the car in drive and pulling up a tad to make the car even in the spot.

She then threw the car into park with a quick movement and turned to the supervisor, shaking, her pupils dialated, her breathing shallow.

"M-may I get out now?"

She asked weakly, blinking in a frightened rabbit sort of way.

[Zack Asiv]

Asiv raised a brow at her, hmm, oddly shaking pressence and sorta, well sorta alot scared. She asked if she could leave now and he ripped the bottom to the sheet he wrote down her scores on and handed it to Chi.

"You may leave take this with you, and give it to the people inside, they will take a picture of you and you have passed Drivers Ed. Easy, huh?"

Well not really, but you see, asiv's way of teaching it was so extream that the kids that went through the class even once became excellent drivers, he never heard of any of them crashing unless another idiot hit them. And even that was rare. so you only had to attend one class, and with his many 'connections', the explosives and the right to give them a picture drivers liscens was easy to come by.

"Oh and chin up Ms. Amuri~!"

Asiv would hop into the front seat and spin the tires so he could turn around almost on a literal dime, and head for the students namely one of them Aureus, who was going to have his turn. Things stopped flaming and no more gun fire could be heard, it was oddly silent for all the action going on, some may even call it boring after such a display.

The supervisor would hop into the passenger seat and speak out. This aimed to Aureus.

"Well come boy, its your turn."
