Mr. Johnson walked in and began his lecture which only bored Eve. She hated school; it had too many rules and not enough free time. She took this time to catch up on some much needed sleep, knowing Mr. Johnson had basically given up on trying to get her to listen and pay attention in class.
Veda later showed up to school late, but didn’t seem to mind as the receptionist glared at her. She was new in town, and she wasn’t one for good impressions among the adult authorities. She looked down at her schedule and walked through the halls, searching for her locker.
(I gtg to bed now, see you tomorrow ^^)
(bye!!!)
Eve raised her hand and asked to be excused to use the restroom. She walked out the door and down the hall with no intention of actually using the restroom, she just needed to get out of that class. Not paying attention, Eve ran right into another girl, knocking them both to the ground. "I'm so sorry." Eve apologized to the girl. "The name's Eve, though this isn't the best way for either of us to make a good impression on the other." she joked, laughing at her own clumsiness.
(same, talk to y'all tomorrow :D)
Rai ran into her classroom, seconds before the bell rang. Her English class stared as she crashed into her desk, panting. "I'm here," Rai whispered meekly to them. The lesson began, and Rai lost herself in her daily doodling.
Veda sat up and laughed softly. “It’s alright! I’m Veda, and don’t worry, I’m not the best at first impressions either. It’s great to meet you though, I don’t really know anyone.”
She said it extremely carelessly, and shrugged her shoulders. She got up and helped Eve to her feet.
Kenzie glanced down at her watch and noticed she was late for school.
No! Nonononono! she thought, hurrying to pack up her things. I can't be late! It'll go on my permanent record!
She drove to school as fast as she dared, then raced to her first class, Pre-Calc. Just as the teacher was telling the students to turn to their work for the day, she dashed into the classroom. Eyes filled with worry, she apologized profusely.
The teacher shook her head, then wrote a note and handed it to her.
"See me after class, please."
(This is very near dying. It was almost on the second page! dramatically gasps in feigned horror)
(Yep)
(I wonder if we should time skip to the end of the school day…?)
(I’m back…)
The class ended and Lloyd gathered his books, putting them all back into his bag and hoisting it onto his shoulder. He had barely made it into the hallway when he heard a voice behind them. "Well, if it isn't Mr. Skipped a Grade." He turned around and was face to face with a couple larger, definitely stronger guys. "Well if it isn't the Brawn over Brains crew. What do you want?" Lloyd responded before waiting with a bored look on his face. The guy who seemed to be the leader pushed Lloyd against a locker, grabbing his heavy bag and hitting him in the stomach with it, clearly angry. Lloyd fell against the locker, the wind knocked out of him.
Kenzie walked out of her class after having talked to her teacher. She'd been let off with a warning this time because she hadn't been late yet, so she was incredibly relieved. As she walked down the hall, she noticed a couple of jocks beating up a younger-looking boy.
Racing over, she shouted, "Hey! What're you doing to him?"
The guys were distracted by Kenzie and Lloyd pulled himself to his feet, rubbing his shoulder with one hand. He reached for his bag, but the ringleader kicked it out of his reach, trapping him between the jocks and the lockers.
Veda heard a commotion and motioned for Eve to come on, and she jogged towards where the fight was happening. She snatched up the book bag on the floor, guessing that it belonged to the boy who was being bullied.
“Hey, assholes! Leave the guy alone,” she snapped, seeming confident in her tone.
(How..do I even jump in? Or..can someone give me a summary of what’s happened so far. I’m sorry I haven’t been very active with this roleplay.)
Lloyd looked between the new arrivals nervously. "I-I'm fine, you really don't have t-" He stopped when one of the guys glared at him dangerously, shrinking against the lockers. Usually, these guys were all talk, leaving when Lloyd would make them feel stupid, but they were angry about something now. Perhaps not Lloyd in particular, but they were taking out their anger on the person they knew couldn't fight back to save his life.
“It’s obviously not okay,” Veda stated, still holding the boys bag in her hand. She motioned with her hand to the side, still having a stern tone. “What’d I say? Or are you bloody dim too? Leave the guy alone.”
"Don't make me call the principal!" Kenzie warned. The principal was her uncle, and she was sometimes teased about being the "principal's pet," but it certainly came in handy in situations like these.
The jocks glared angrily at the two girls before leaving, seemingly deciding that Lloyd wasn't worth their time. Lloyd waited until they were out of earshot before thanking the two girls awkwardly, rubbing his shoulder again.
"It was no problem," Kenzie waved it off. "I'm just glad I could help. My name's McKenzie, by the way. You can just call me Kenzie, though."
Veda shook her head slowly, watching the jocks walk away. “What a bunch of douches..” she muttered. She turned towards the boy again, smiling brightly and back to her normal, cheeky self. “I believe this belongs to you,” She said, holding out his backpack.
(Eh. I’m just gonna throw my character in I think I kind of have the right to, seeing that I was the organizer)
Briar was watching the whole situation play out from afar. She walked over to Kenzie and asked
“What’s up with jocks? I mean, it seems like they’re always on some sort of power-high..probably because of all those steroids they inhale, practically.”
