Casper was tempted to disagree with her saying that she understood, but he figured it would be rude, maybe insensitive. He sighed, frustrated with himself. The way he was acting now was weird for him. It was probably the weather. When she smiled, he was relieved.He nodded, a little grateful that she decided to introduce herself, and that he didn't have to ask. Now, half of his thoughts was screaming at himself, telling him to stop and run off and forget this Faeya girl, but the other half was getting excited. It had been a while since he had a conversation with a girl. Or have a girl say her name to him. Or even have a conversation this long with anyone, really. Right now he felt as if he got stuck under the ocean a couple of years ago or so, and then suddenly he was pulled up. And the quiet part of him wanted to go back to the stupid ocean. It was crazy.Casper realized he had spaced out, and she had said some more things while he was stuck thinking. He took a breath and forced the will to compose himself again. "Oh - that's a cool name. Yeah." "They do? Why?"

Faeya smirked slightly. "Because I rejected their oh-so charming requests of sleeping with them... or I just scare them." She glanced at him for a second to see for any reaction, but of course she expected the worst to happen. She always expected the worst. Faeya shook her head as memories of what men did to her in the past and quickly added "it's much better to be feared than to be afraid" unintentionally. Her mind fell even darker, but she kept her facade up, never showing any kind of weakness. Everything was a weakness if it meant someone else was controlling what should be hers. She didn't have control back then, but now. Now she does. She snapped out of her small thought process and looked over at him again. "By the way, what's your name?"

Kaz had been keeping quiet for most of the conversation as he was trying to think of another way out, but with the snow piled so high he drew a blank assuming that every exit would be blocked because of it. He had heard everyone talk about going to the library and decided that was the best idea for now, after all if they were going to be stuck here they might as well be warm while they wait for someone to come get them. "Is they way to the cafeteria blocked, we cannot tell how long we are going to be here." He said as best he could in english.

Casper couldn't help but laugh a bit. "You scare them?" He nodded, leaving a half smile on his face, but didn't make another comment. "It's much better to be feared than to be afraid." With that, he was a little surprised on how she suddenly said that. She was probably blurting out stuff without thinking. He raised an eyebrow curiously. Of course he knew how that felt. He wasn't afraid, but he did prefer being feared so he'd be left alone, and he'd be unattached. It was simple. He stared while she seemed to be off in her thoughts again, until she asked for his name.

"Casper's my name." It was a sentence that he hasn't said in a long time. Again, he felt a little more loose, more out of the water. Still, he wasn't sure whether that was a good thing or a bad thing. And then he added - "Than to be afraid...of what?"

Isabella caught Timothy's glance and slight blush but didn't look too far into it, instead her attention caught the young woman approaching them from down the hallway. "Uh, hello? It's snowing really hard, so might as well take shelter here?," the girl said and Isabella nodded, beckoning her with her hand to come join the large group that was forming, "I think that is what we're planning right now." Isa told the girl, giving her a friendly smile.

Meanwhile Arty's face beat a bright crimson against his pale skin. "Well usually the only other person here is Mr Polanski...the janitor..." he explained, and Isabella giggled, "I didn't think he was your type!" she teased her friend lightly, nudging him with her hand. She could tell he was nervous about the whole situation and she thought her little jokes toward him would put him at ease a little. It was then Arty began speaking, and Isa nodded along agreeing to all that he had to say. He was right that they had to find somewhere to sleep tonight and find warmth. It wouldn't be a bad idea to think about power outage either. Arty then looked at Isa, "And me and you should talk in a minute Isa...I have something I've held off on showing you till I was ready, so why not now." Isa nodded again, "Alright." she smiled, wondering if it was the art project he had been working on all this time after school.

"Sup, all?" Sol's voice came from behind the group and Isabella turned to see him. "No luck huh?" she questioned, her almond shaped brown eyes widening slightly as she pouted. It seemed that even the basketball star couldn't get them out of this one. "Well the library's pretty warm, plus it has those couches. Much rather sleep on one of those than the floor." Solomon suggested, the boy busy on the laptop agreeing quickly to his good idea.

"I'll get some blankets." The boy said, getting up from his laptop and heading towards the art room. "We'll follow you!" Isa called to him, grabbing Arty's hand and beginning to walk a few steps behind the other boy. "Besides, we'll know exactly where everything this is. It's a second home to Arty and I." she dropped Arty's hand softly so they could walk independently of one another. She spoke low to him, "Besides, it gives you a chance to let me in on your juicy secrets of you and the janitor!" Isa laughed loudly, her head throwing back probably startling anyone in the quietness of the school.

They continued to follow the boy Isabella would now deem as Mr. Computers.

"We'll follow you!" Isa called to him. "Besides, we'll know exactly where everything this is. It's a second home to Arty and I."

It then dawned on Timothy that Arty and Isa were pet names- They were boyfriend and girlfriend. His ears got slightly red as he approached the art room. He then heard a very loud laugh from Isabella, which scared the heck out of him. He hunched slightly as he neared the art room. He decided to close the door behind him so that nobody would see his ears being so red. He closed the door quietly, making sure nobody was with him. He then just realized that the others were following him, and the rest of his face was slightly flushed. It wasnt too long before he got the blankets. He stood by the door and took a few breaths, trying to return the correct color to his face. He emerged and began towards the library.

Faeya glanced at Casper and shrugged. "Rape, assault, drugged, becoming the 'slut', so many things come to mind to fear." She looked down at her feet as she felt her heart ripping from her chest when she said the word rape. It was such a disgusting word and she hated it. "But it's kinda hard to be feared when your a small, skinny girl that has absolutely no prior training." She shook her head and smiled at Casper. "Whatever, let's talk about something happier. Like the fact that the teachers are so dumb that they don't even notice they left students in a school by themselves."

As he tried once more he heard a voice come from behind him that sounded like a woman and turned around to see a blonde haired girl that couldn't have been any older than him. Even though he knew he couldn't have been the only one here she still took him by surprise as she introduced herself, put her hand out, and told him her name "Oh Summimasen I did not know anyone was still here" He said as he took her hand "My name is Kazuo but yes people have called me Kaz."

Kaz had been keeping quiet for most of the conversation as he was trying to think of another way out, but with the snow piled so high he drew a blank assuming that every exit would be blocked because of it. He had heard everyone talk about going to the library and decided that was the best idea for now, after all if they were going to be stuck here they might as well be warm while they wait for someone to come get them. "Is they way to the cafeteria blocked, we cannot tell how long we are going to be here." He said as best he could in english.

Emma hated taking over conversations but Kaz didn't seem to want to talk very much. Which is why she was mildly surprised when he asked about the cafeteria. "Well they don't like kids hanging out in there after hours but I have something to help us get in. Its in my locker." She beckoned for Kaz to follow, it wasn't too far from the door. Her locker was a mess but she quickly found what looked like a pencil case, she pulled a teachers badge out. "Nicked it from my math teacher, he thinks he's just lost it. The school issued a new one but this one still works. Pretty nifty huh?" She started walking towards the Cafeteria.

"Wait." She stopped suddenly, "We should have everyone meet in the Cafeteria, we don't want anyone left behind. We can use the PA system!" Emma looked pretty excited, "Come on!" She started practically running to the Principal's office. She quickly turned on the PA system "Hey everyone, My name is Emma and just like you, assuming there are other people here, I'm stuck here. I have a teachers badge so we are going to unlock the Cafeteria if you want to meet me and Kaz there we are going to try and figure things out."

Casper didn't know what he was expecting. Maybe he thought she'd say something like getting her heart broken or something. A typical dramatic teenage girl would have said those. But rape and assault..he was admittedly shocked. Clearly Faeya wasn't the typical type. It bothered him when he wondered what could have made her fear that specifically, that it makes her feel the need to avoid guys. He wasn't able to comment anything yet when she forced them to move on from what she said. Casper decided he would let it slide off for now if she doesn't want to talk about it. But he'll remember it. Then suddenly, a voice echoed throughout the halls. It was the PA system, but the voice was clearly a student. Apparently there were even more of them, and someone decided to gather in the cafeteria. Casper got curious on who else was here, but he didn't bother saying that.

"Yeah, obviously they haven't read The Lord of the Flies, leaving some kids in school without adults? We'll end up savages," he said with a grin. "So you wanna go there? Be savages?"

Faeya glanced up and grinned. "As long as I don't become the first savage, I guess that'll be okay." She stood to her feet and put her hands in her jacket pockets. "I just hope this 'teacher badge' chick isn't all cheery and preppy. It would kill my cheery!" Faeya said sarcastically. She thought about what she said and almost slapped herself. She scared him off again, of course she did. She always brought up bad things and it always made her look like an attention seeker. She didn't mean to go into a darker mindset, she just did. Faeya snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at Casper with a smile.

"So, you going?"Rafaella said, after hearing the announcement, to the boy who was staring hard at the exit door before, seeing as he was the only one left who didn't go anywhere. She figured that the cafeteria would maybe still have some food left, as she was getting hungry. Also, figuring things out with the other people who are also stuck sounds like a good idea.

"We'll be the first savages so we get all the stuff first, and chase everyone out." Casper could barely believe what he was doing. He probably did more socializing in a few minutes than he did for the whole of last year. Suddenly, he felt more worried about getting too close to Faeya. I wouldn't let it happen though, he reassured himself nervously. This is just today. It's the weather. Tomorrow, she probably won't even notice me passing by.

"I just hope this 'teacher badge' chick isn't all cheery and preppy. It would kill my cheery!"

Though her sarcasm was a little amusing, Casper didn't know how he would react to that, so instead, he just focused on his cigarette again. He pretended that it was his little shield. It would save him from getting attached to this girl. Kid stuff. After a few seconds, he watched her when she smiled at him but he forgot to smile back. He killed the cigarette filter on the wall beside him then gave her a nod.

"Let's go then." He glanced over to the direction of the cafeteria, waiting for her to move first.

Solomon was too busy thinking about that accursed door to follow through with his own idea. The fact that he couldn't get it open was really driving him crazy. He probably would've been standing there for awhile if it weren't for the message over the PA system. "Huh, what?" Now that he was saying attention again he noticed the other girl had addressed him while he was distracted.

"Oh yeah I'm going, sorry I totally zoned out for a second there." He said with a casual laugh. Since they had figured out what to do for sleep, going to the cafeteria to settle out the food situation seemed like the next logical step. "I'm Solomon by the way. I don't think we've met before."

Before Isa could reach the art room door, it was closed promptly in her face. "Well, damn!" Isa exclaimed, looking at Arty with a smug look plastered upon her face. "I guess we were not really needed after all." she shrugged, flipping herself around and leaning against the door frame of the art room. Her hand reached up and tucked behind her ear some of the lose strands of hair that had fell out of her bun.

The P.A. system rattled as it turned on, a voice booming through it seconds after: "Hey everyone, My name is Emma and just like you, assuming there are other people here, I'm stuck here. I have a teachers badge so we are going to unlock the Cafeteria if you want to meet me and Kaz there we are going to try and figure things out."

Isa grinned, the girl from earlier- who now Isabella knew was named Emma and the foreign exchange student (Kaz) had figured it out after all. Isabella's tummy grumbled in response the system almost in perfect reply. "Just in time, I'm starving." Just then the boy emerged with the blankets and headed towards the library in what seemed like a rush. "Hey, we'll meet you in the cafeteria then!" Isa called to the boy, hoping she hadn't offended him or anything. If she didn't know any better, it seemed like he was trying to avoid her.

Isabella then turned to Arty and shrugged, "What did you want to show me before we head to the cafeteria?" she asked curiously, with only a slight bit of hesitation in her voice. He had been quiet this whole time, and Isa began to worry that it might be something serious.

"Oh yeah I'm going, sorry I totally zoned out for a second there. I'm Solomon by the way. I don't think we've met before,"Solomon said, breaking out of his trail of thoughts. "I see. Well yes, we haven't. I'm Rafaella, nice meeting you. Well then, we should get going,"Raf replied, gesturing to the way that leads to the cafeteria. "I'm getting hungry,"she blurted, loud enough for him to hear. It was unintentional, as she was just speaking her mind out, but she pretended that he didn't notice anyway, even though she knew he did. So she started walking ahead.

The PA system rang. "Hey everyone, My name is Emma and just like you, assuming there are other people here, I'm stuck here. I have a teachers badge so we are going to unlock the Cafeteria if you want to meet me and Kaz there we are going to try and figure things out."

"Hey, we'll meet you in the cafeteria then!" Isa called to Timothy.

"See ya there, i'll just put these in the library first." Timothy called back.

He then began towards the library again. But what he didnt know is that one of the blankets were loose. He was nearing the library, when he stepped on one and tripped. His head hit the door handle and he fell unconscious. He managed to groan before slipping into blackness.

Kaz had followed the girl who had showed him the teacher's pass as if being dragged along, not that it was a bad thing especially since there was nothing to do but wait to be rescued. The girl he was with took him to the P.A. office and had announced for everyone who was still here to meet them at the cafeteria "perhaps we should go meet them" He said. For someone he just met he could already tell she was very energetic, but for all he knew she was just acting even so it wasn't his place to judge. For now he would just return the kindness she has been showing him.

Arty had been being quiet but it wasn't because the situation was dire, no in fact he was disturbingly nervous. Thats when the door was slammed in Isa's face and before he could react the boy was back out with the blankets, "Thanks man we will meet you I'm the cafeteria," Arty turned back around his eyes filled with what look like nervousness, "Its in the art room Isa..." Arty just walked inside and threw his art supplies down in his area before walking over to his massive easle now covered in a massive white sheet but it was carefully lifted to not touch the easle, "This is it right here..." Arty gripped the edge of the sheet and started to pull it off the painting before looking at Isa, "Just remember it isn't finished yet..."

Emma nodded a Kaz before dashing out of the office "I don't want to keep them waiting!" The school wasn't particularly large so it didn't take very long for her to get there. She unlocked the cafeteria doors and propped them open. "All I need now is a welcome banner and freshments." She joked. Instead she just stood, perhaps a bit awkwardly, depending on how you looked at it. She checked her phone in the mean time, no calls, it appeared her parents hadn't bothered to check in on her. It was likely they hadn't noticed, once she turned 16 and started driving herself places she began to lose importance. Sara hadn't called either, still a source of worry. She sighed and waited, teacher's badge around her neck, ready for whatever these class mates of hers were about to stir up.

Kaz tried his best to keep up with the girl as she tried to be everywhere at once, of all the people locked inside here she seemed to be the most chipper about it. Once he finally caught up to her he let out a big sigh and tried to catch his breath "Hijo ni kosoku (So fast)" he said as he finally reached the cafeteria.

Solomon nearly burst out laughing at Rafella's little outburst. Judging by the fact that she was walking ahead of him, he supposed he wasn't meant to hear that. Still suppressing a laugh he picked up the pace as they neared the cafeteria door. "If it makes you feel any better so am I."

Part of him wondered how the school would feel about them raiding the cafeteria but the louder, cockier part of him was looking forward to throwing the fact that they had left them behind in the school during a storm in the first place.Noticing the doors were already open he supposed their friend from the PA system was already waiting inside, so he entered with a grin when he noticed a girl and guy standing inside."Hi there! You the ones from the PA?"
