Tempest fell silent at that sudden burst of sibling dispute and tried to chew quietly on his nachos. They crunched loudly despite his efforts. He didn't wanna upset the young man any further, for he felt if he did then it would trigger as a reminder of Tempest's most rencent break up three weeks ago…not something he wanted to think about while trying to make friends.
Jake saw his teeth . " WOAH your teeth are so sharp….i wish mine were that sharp.." Jake wimpered as he started to munch on the apple he had in his bag.
"Oh umm…thanks Jake." a light blush started to creep across the blond boy in mention's pale face. He never had had his teeth complimented before and didn't know quite how to respond to that
Cora raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing the blush that had started to creep on the new kid's cheeks, before glancing away sadly.
Karma didn't even need to ask Cora what was wrong, he knew. He simply turned to the new boy with a bored expression. "You'd do well to watch your back around here, just to let you know." With a short, temporary narrowing of his eyes, he glanced at Jake and held the gaze before turning to Evan. His voice dropped to a whisper. "You okay? What was that about?"
"My sister. She's gonna go to some random fuck boys house tonight or some bullcrap and yet again is counting on me to be her cover story, and lie to our moms about it. Now. I could tell them the truth. But. She covers my back about as much as I cover hers, I just don't want her becoming a teen pregnancy." He sighed, and groaned, his head landing on Karma's shoulder as he took a few breaths,burying his face into his neck, grumbling under his breath.
Tempest nodded to show he understood "Of course" Tempest responded, the blush soon replaced by a questioning glance Just what was he getting at? I don't think I have any enemies here yet a part of him thought
the other part of him reminded him that was still only a 'yet'
"What a funny predicament you find yourself in." Karma frowned a little, rubbing his chin in thought. The muscles in his arms tensed unconsciously from the chill that washed over them every now and again. He wasn't used to having his arms exposed, as it revealed his tattoos, however something about having the sleeves of his shirt rolled perfectly neat was oddly satisfying. "I understand your concern, well, more like I know where you're coming form. Whenever I go out, I get a lecture from Cora about keeping safe and making sure no girls get knocked up. Even though I've never even kissed a girl?" he rolled his eyes while grinning. He placed a hand on Evan's thigh, patting it gently. "The best thing you can do is just support her, and do what you think is best for her. If she ends up pregnant, there are ways of dealing with the situation. But unless it happens, I wouldn't worry about it."
He sighed. "Thanks Karma. Ya know, you're a really cool guy. I just want my sister to be safe and not stupid. Which. Never happens. She's been in more near death situations than the average super hero and we're only 16." He nuzzled in a bit. "Mind if I just chill on your shoulder until I get the effort to sit up and eat and re-do my makeup?" He asked shyly, his hand softly landing on top of Karma's. If there was ONE thing his sister was good for, she had taught him how to flirt. And be himself while doing it.
Tempest's mood considerably dropped as even as he tried to ignore and not eavesdrop on the personal conversation next to him he heard the general gist of it and was reminded a lot of Chloe…his ex…he set aside his half eaten plate of nachos. "I'm gonna head to music theory to study…see ya guys later." and with that he slipped out the cafeteria and into the mostly empty hallway
"Be my guest." Karma replied emotionlessly, half-smiling warmly. He didn't mind the affection, for the time being, as he was in an unnaturally neutral mood. It was when he was angry that he didn't want people even breathing in a 20cm radius of him. "I really don't think you need to wear makeup, you know? You're one of the lucky few who have been birthed with a natural beauty."
He blushed and looked up at Karma, then took a breath. "I'm impressed that a person like you is saying that. You're a piece of art. A sculpture built of the greek gods. But thank you. See I like makeup-" And at this he sat up, but his hand never left being on top of Karma's hand. "Not to look good, but it's a version of self expression for me. And I look good." He smoothed down his skirt a bit. "I just enjoy doing it I guess. I enjoy doing other things as well." (OKAY 2 BAD FLIRTS! Are you a piece of art cause I wanna push you up against a wall AND I like doing other things, like you. I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF!)
Benneth ran into the lunchroom at full speed. He then began an assortment of acrobatics up until he reached the table where Karma and the others were. He stopped harshly with a large smile on his face. Despite how much the stop hurt, his smile didn't even twitch. He instead sat down at the table and looked around. He really had nothing to talk about, so he just listened to other peoples' conversations. He placed his chin in his hand and tilted his head slightly. His hair shifting to the side with the turn.
Though Tempest didn't study but sat against a wall in the hall, looking at the last texts from the woman that hadn't just broken but pulverized his heart. It was a good thing he was a great actor or he wouldn't be able but burst into tears every time someone complimented him. "What did I do wrong?" he muttered to himself "What did Ethan have that I didn't?…" Yes while his outside was sunshine and rainbows his inside felt like broken glass was swirling in his stomach and chest.
(I might have to drop out of this lol)
(Okay)
(Yeah I'm really sorry Ev! I just can't seem to keep up with the pace of this rp.)
(awww man. Everyone's just chilling at lunch! But alright)
(Yeah I know… See you around I guess)
(pace is…honestly on the slower side to be honest it's really chill to me)
"I am far from a godly sculpture, far far from it." Karma tilted his head a little, scrunching his nose up as he smiled, his eyes closing. When he opened them again, he found himself gently rubbing his other thumb over Evan's knuckles. "Well I think it's a great thing that you like expressing yourself that way. World would be a pretty boring place if there weren't people like you." Then he paused for a moment, mentally kicking himself. God, this is not like you at all, Klaus. Why are you being so nice?!
"And you like doing other things? What kinds of things?"
He was blushing way to hard, but smiled softly as he pushed back his hair, embarrassed as he gave his hand a slight squeeze. "I like writing, acting,and pretty boys." He said this pointedly, looking directly into Karma's eyes. "I also really love my cats. And playing the piano. Do you have any talents? Besides making me look like a cherry." He tapped his cheek with a finger.
"I mean other than painting and drawing… Not really." Karma kept his eyes on Evan's. He would not show weakness by looking away or becoming embarrassed, that just wasn't Karma. "I don't think being good at Math can really be classed as a talent if I'm honest." he shrugged a little before leaning in to Evan's ear, whispering. "I'm so much more than a pretty boy when there's no one else around."
Benneth's looked back and forth between the two love birds in front of him. His eyes screamed what could be definable as jealousy, but his face held a lopsided smile.
His hand slipped from under his chin and within seconds, he found himself face-first into a table. He just sat there in silence. His mind was running ramped at this point, but all emotions were unclear in his mind.
"Being good at math and good at art! My,quite the double entendra." He chuckled a bit,not even phased by the whisper. He then decided to take a risk. He raised Karma's hand and kissed it softly, and then a small kiss on each knuckle, and then let go and dug into his lunch sack before he died of embarrassment. Evelyn gave him a thumbs up from across the room.
Tempest pushed the painful topic of his ex out of his head foe now and went into the music theory room and warmed up on one of the many piano keyboards
