Lure props her legs up over the arm rest, at ease. There weren't too many students on this trip, and most of them kept to themselves. Her little bubble of space is void of arms, limbs, other bodies tempting her to manifest in. Through the course of the term, Lure had named that part of her Bait. A touch of irony when internal conflicts got too serious. Never mind that now, the girl is going on a school trip in Japan! The amber in her eyes practically glows with excitement.
Finally spotting Lure, Beatriz carefully sits down next to her, carefully keeping her arms and legs inside her own seat, not wanting to invade Lure's space. Another thing she felt unused to; other people being close enough for her to be in their personal space. "Hi," she tells Lure quietly.
"Hello!" The blonde's eyes crinkle, mouth unintentionally parting to reveal a blinding smile. Her bubbly voice flies across the seat. She rests a blue notebook against her thighs, a bracelet dangling from her left wrist. A matching pendent to the one at her neck hangs from the chain. "Aren't you excited?!"
(I'm dead! "absolutely unholy" XD)
Arriving at the airport, and getting theyre tickets, and going to their gate. Once they get in the jet, it was really big and fancy, a to big for the number of people they had here. the seats were nice, white and comfy.
Sitting down in the chair, by the window. Looking around, she was at the front of the line, so everyone else had to get in after her.
Watching everyone, including Maverick and Ryuu walking down the aisle. Watching them from the back of the jet, everyone slowly sitting down, picking their seats in the wierd sofas. CC looks at MAverick and Ryuu walk in at the same time, looking at both of them. Halfway hoping they would come and sit with her. She wanted them to be friends… it kind of hurts to see them giving each other glares and mean looks.
(For real, what school makes ya get up at 4am??)
Maverick gives Ryuu a side-glance, finally determining that he doesn't care what the Japanese boy thinks. The most amiable gesture he'll do for Ryuu is a subtle nudge in the direction of Beatriz. Not pausing for a beat, Maverick slides into the seat adjacent to CC's. "Hey," he smirks.
Beatriz gently slides into a seat near the back, hoping she wasn't taking a seat anyone else wanted. For some reason, she can feel the panic rising up in her throat. Why now, of all times? She closes her eyes and counts to 10, telling herself that this isn't something to worry about. These are just people, she thinks, feeling her heart rate slow.
Ryuu steps on the jet, looking around, he sees CC and then Beatriz and her friend. He smiles and steps over to them.
"Hey! Um is this spot taken?"
He says politely to the girls, pointing to the white seat in front of the girls. He was really nervous about this trip, one, he's never been on a jet before, two, he's never been to a beach or anything like that before, and three he's never actually been anywhere with friends. What was he supposed to do? What do people do at a place like this? How does he act? And why was he so nervous?
Plugging a pair of earbuds in, Lurestral gives a cheerful thumbs up and smiles. "No, not at all!" Then, she resumes her writing in her notebook, trying to blend herself into the walls of the jet. The girl turns her music on full volume, grinning to herself.
CC smiles at him brightly, her messy hair falling a little bit in her face. Scooting over a little making room for Maverick.
"Sorry, I look like a mess"
She sighs to her herself, pulling a strand of hair behind her ear.
"so um…. is this your first time on a jet?"
She says rather sleepily, yawning, covering her mouth. Her eyes al little watery. She only got about two hours of sleep last night. All of that packing was too much…. she was wondering if all of it was worth it until Maverick sat down beside her.
yeah…. it was definitely worth it….
And with that… the jet takes off.
Beatriz gave Ryuu a small smile before momentarily turning her gaze to the floor and taking a deep breath. "Hey," she told him, her voice barely above a whisper. I sound like a child. Why do I sound like a child? This is stupid. I'm stupid. Everything's stupid. Why am I not throwing myself out the emergency door? She thought, her thoughts blurring in an uncontrollable haze. She shook her head to clear it and gripped one of her armrests tightly.
Ryuu smiles to himself, sitting down across from the girls he looks at Beatriz.
"You excited?"
He leans forward, very excited himself. He was super cute when he got excited. Not the nervous excited though, he would just have a panic attack. This was different, he felt at ease. The comfy seats helped.
Maverick chuckles, saying, "Yeah, actually. I've been on planes before, but not jets." He adjusts himself so that his body is fully facing CC. Distracting himself from the rumbling mechanism vibrating the floor, he inquires, "Hey, did you sleep enough? I kept you kinda late…"
Beatriz can't help but smile. "Yeah, I guess so," she tells him, shrugging. "You certainly seem to be," she observes.
"haha, I didn't sleep at all.. except for maybe two hours?"
She said to herself smiling to herself. She couldn't believe how dumb she was not to pack earlier. She had to stay up later than ever packing. Although she saved everything for the last minute, yet every time she did she ended up regretting it… oh so much.
"You?"
She said again, super drowsily. Yeah, She was definitely going to fall asleep during this.
Ryuu looks away a little bit then back at her.
"oh um….well yeah, I guess, uh… I mean-i haven't really ever been on a trip like this…be-before"
He looks down to his lap…
"Sorry I'm stuttering all over the place, I'm a little tired…."
why am I even saying all of this…. ugh I'm so stupid…. and tired…
He thinks to himself, facepalming on the inside.
"Two hours?!" He forgets to respond to her question, concern drowning that out. Quickly he pulls off his jacket, draping it over CC's body. "Sleep," Maverick instructs, a mock glare present.
Beatriz smiles. "It's fine, I am, too. I just couldn't sleep at all last night, so I think at this point I'm just running on coffee and anxiety," she laughs, hands fidgeting in her lap.
Ryuu, with a worried look on his face.
"anxiety and coffee? Isnt that like…. not good? Maybe you should sleep on the plane ride here?"
He says with a worried look on his face.
Beatriz laughs, a bell-like sound. "I probably will. I'm fine, though, nothing to worry about. I don't sleep a lot anyway, so I'm only slightly less sleep deprived than usual," she explains with another laugh at herself.
CC laughs a little to herself,
"Yeah, maybe I should."
She wanted to lay down on the floor, she was so desperate to fall asleep. She just couldn't wait to get there though.
Ryuu obviously even more worried now,
"Um… please get some more sleep… you wouldnt want to be tired on our trip would you?"
He says not sounding like a question anymore.
"Oh my gods, Ryuu, calm down, I'm fine. I will try, though," she concedes with an exasperated eye roll.
"ah sorry I didn't mean it like that! I'm just worried…."
And to him, when people are doing something fun, but have a little attitude drives him crazy…
"you should just…. try to sleep so you can enjyo it more. Ya know?"
He didnt think he said it harshly, but maybe he did. He wasnt a rude, or harsh person.
"It's fine, you're fine," Beatriz assures him quietly, tucking her knees to her chest to form a small ball.
Ryuu looks at her tuck herself into the ball, his eyes fluttering shut, then open, then shut again. He needed sleep of his own for once.
And before he knew it.. Ryuu had leaned up against the seat, his hair crazy, he was out. He had also, like none of the other students, got no sleep. He had gotten his glasses fixed last night, which were now falling off of his face.
