[center]======================================================================================== [b] ♦ Adira Huston ♦ [/b] ========================================================================================[/center] [i]'Seriously, when did all the male teachers at Caelbury become homos?'[/i] Adira had arrived at the picnic a little late. She had a handful of students she had to scare into submission before she was able to head over, and by time she arrived, teachers and students alike were enjoying the perks of a dunk tank. Say, that actually kind of looked like fun. If she just imagined there were hungry piranha in the water... No, stop that. Anyway, the male teachers were flirting with one another worse then any horny teenager she'd ever seen. They were adults, they had their right to do as they pleased, but if she had seen any students laying it on that heavy she would have ripped them up and down. (Did they think they were discrete? Men.) She laughed as each teacher was dumped. It really was extremely satisfying. The thought crossed her mind that cheery little Acacia would try and convince Adira to get in the tank, but she wasn't real concerned. It would probably be fun, just to act like a moron with the rest of them. She smiled and shook her head, her ponytail bobbing. She had dressed expecting to get wet, and wore a simple outfit of denim shorts and a black tee shirt over her bikini. She was actually pretty excited when she heard about the water gun fight the students were planning. Come on, what better way to show her tactical dominance then pawning a bunch of her students at their own game? She have to team up with some of the kids from the paintball club, and then they could annihilate the competition together. --- [center]======================================================================================== [b] ♦ August Marco ♦ [/b] ========================================================================================[/center] As excited as he had been for the picnic, as more and more people poured in, August realized he just wasn't quite himself. Normally, he loved being around people. He loved to joke and fool around, play stupid jokes with his friends..... But today, he just couldn't get into it. Maybe he was just tired. Yeah, probably. He'd feel better after he ate. Over by the water guns, James approached. “Oh, hey, James. I'm trying to decide if I want to get in trouble or not.” He said with a cheeky grin. “I brought food coloring – hey, don't divulge my secrets – to put in the water guns. But I already kinda used that trick with the pool, so I don't think I'll do that. Plus, some of the girls might come after me if I stain their clothes.” As he spoke, he glanced around. A few people stood off by themselves still, as if they didn't quite fit in. A few of them looked around his age, but he wasn't really in the mood to go and meet them. He noticed one girl in particular – she was kinda cute, a little Japanese girl, who looked slightly annoyed whenever someone passed without greeting her. August had never seen her before, so this s probably her first year. He didn't make any huge effort to welcome her, but when she glanced his way he smiled and waved in a friendly way. “Anyway, I'm gonna go watch them dunk teachers for now.” He said to James, putting the water gun he had been playing with back in the pile. He brushed his messy hair back out of his eyes for like the tenth time as he walked over to the crowd gathered around the dunk tank. He really did need to get it cut again. He said hi to a few people he knew as he migrated close enough to see what was going on. Whoa, had they gotten Mr. Zimmerman in the tank? Man, he looked like a drowned cat! The Principle and VP also both went into the water. When the next person got on, August kind of did a double take. No way. Is that.... [i]Jacob?![/i] August laughed as his new roommate climbed into the tank. There he was, goody-two-shoed, top-of-the-class, stay-out-of-my-freaking-way-Marco, Jacob, sacrificing himself to the mercy of the icy cold water below his seat. And guess who was gonna dunk him? He pushed through a the rest of the gathering students and found Acacia in front of the tank. It would actually be the first time he'd gotten to see her since he was back on campus. “Acacia! Can I dump Jacob?” He said it with that devilish, charming smile of his. He accepted the balls and turned to give Jacob the same look. He met his roommates eyes, stuck out his tongue teasingly, and threw the first ball. Number one missed, a little far to the left. Number two missed again, opposite side this time. But number three was perfect, hitting the target smack in the center. The seat dumped it's victim into the tank of water below, and a few people cheered when they saw the splash. He was into it now!
