[IC] A School Divided

[CherriesJubilee]

She huffed and puffed as she rode her bike to school.. I just can't be late on my first day of high school! It was hard enough to move all the way out here to New Jersey... Her legs ached as she pumped her legs harder, nearing just shy of 2 blocks away from the school. There was a boy in the middle of the sidewalk ahead of her. He was a boy of dark chocolate-colored hair with seemingly tawny highlights.... or just the sun reflecting off of his hair. "Hey kid!!! Move to one side! I'm about to speed past ya!!!" she called out to him, hoping he would hear her over the boisterous traffic.

he carries on walking with his earphones in, not being able to hear a thing until you get too close, hearing the last bit of the scream he turned around to see you, blinded by your cuteness he blushes and doesn't move

[CherriesJubilee]

She abruptly stops, a handle bar hitting your shoulder as she runs into a lamppost. "HEY!!! Watch where you're going next time!!! Are you completely blind and DEAF?! I was coming straight for you and you just stood there and gawked like a deer in headlights!!!! Now thanks to you I'm going to be late on my first day of high school in this god damn new city!!! What the freaking hell is wrong with you, you bastard?!" she yelled at him, wiping off her skinned knees. When she finally stood up, she grabbed his collar and scowled "If I see you get in my way again, you better PRAY that I won't beat you up..."

[bjftaylor]

he turns away and walks off, putting his earphones back in and his hood up he walks over to the bust stop

[CherriesJubilee]

She angrily gets back on her bike and bikes the rest of the 2 blocks away from school and locks her bike in. As she passes last year's student body president, she gets her schedule:

1. Gym (as required by state law/laws)
2. Shipping Class
3. Mathematics
4. History of Music
5.a. Choir
Lunch
5.b. Choir
6. Art
7. Study Hall

"Thanks..." she muttered quietly as she snatched her schedule out of their hands.

[bjftaylor]

he was in her gym class at the start, he changes into tracksuit bottoms and goes into the gym

[CherriesJubilee]

She changed into her gym shorts and tank top and walked out with an air of confidence and calmness.... until she saw that boy she ran into that morning. At this point, she glared at him and then looked back in a huff. He honestly looked awfully adorable when she wasn't mad at him. ugh, what's HE doing here...?

[bjftaylor]

he notices her and looks back at her grinning, he begins to walk over to her, looking down with his hood still up

[CherriesJubilee]

She saw him sauntering over and makes subtle movements to try to dodge him. She flipped her hair back over her shoulder and puts her hands in her pockets, sidestepping away from where he was walking. In hopes he would perhaps leave her alone, she started humming "Alphabet Boy" and looked over at one of many posters about health.

[bjftaylor]

he walk up next to her and looks at the health posters with her, slowly reaching down for her hand

[CherriesJubilee]

She noticed he was next to her and quickly ducked into the girls' locker room away from the people. What is with this BOY?! We don't even know each others names and here he goes trying to walk with me?! UGH!!! she thought, cringing at the thought of seeing him in homeroom a whole semester.

[bjftaylor]

i stop outside the changing rooms and wait for you

[CherriesJubilee]

She leaves through the other exit in the sports locker room, now on the opposite end of the gym from him. yes! I'm a good, comfortable distance away from that creep!!! she thought, giving herself a mental fistbump.

[bjftaylor]

he walks over again and starts to mumble something under his breath to you

[CherriesJubilee]

She barely heard something and sees him... AH!!! how is he already caught up with me?! What witchcraft is he on?! she thought, her eyes widening. She coughed and said "Pardon? What did you say?", hoping it was nothing or at least an explanation why he was being a creep.

[bjftaylor]

"h-hey, sorry about earlier" i look down and scratch my arm

[CherriesJubilee]

She huffed and looked the other way for a spell, balling her hands into a fist. She looked back at him with a cold stare, "It's fine, just don't do it ever again..." She was obviously still steamed about that morning, but she wasn't going to pick a fight with a guy who appeared to be half a foot taller than herself, having a tiny frame and barely any muscle on her bones. She was smart enough to see that some of the guy's weak points are, obviously, the groin, neck, back of the head, and the bridge of his nose, but the rest were still unclear.

[AmericanCommie]

I had just come in the gym, i was late. after getting out of the changing room, i saw two people outside, conversing, 'Hey, Ben? Is that you bud?'

[CherriesJubilee]

She eyed at him suspiciously. hmm, late and talking to this guy like he's an old, OLD friend... probably trouble... she thought, trying to seem busy herself. She shyly stuck her hands back into her pockets and looked around.

[AmericanCommie]

'Hello there' he smiled and stuck his hand out to greet her
