• Nothing like Highschool
    RPG - 50 - English - ©Tamatoa

    Roles      ☠      Talking      ☠      Drama





    High Schools - and teenagers in general - are known for their clichés, stereotypes and drama. Friends are made and lost, enemies lurk around every corner and teachers are the worst. Here at Borealis, it isn't any different. Or is it?

    ☠            ☠

    Eventhough the Hunter Community is really close, it's still a community. And some people tend to not fit in. Orphans, trouble makers and other unwanted children only have one place to go: Borealis. A school - a fucking community - in the middle of icecold nothing. These kids might be special, they might have abilities, they might have a perfect shot, but they're still kids. So prepare, for all the clichés, stereotypes and drama. Because Borealis is not that different at all ...


    Home. Hell. Same difference.

    It's my intention to only play the 'students', but if you want something else, just ask and I'll see what we can do.


    Fill in
    Your role can be really simple. It is allowed to keep it short and you do not have to use a layout. Ofcourse, if you want to; go knock yourself out.
    ❖ Name (any)
    ❖ Age (10 -20) You can play a kid, but do realise that it affects your character's relationships and interaction. Do realise that anyone older than 18 has to have a partner who's at least a year younger. It's possible, but also rare at this school.
    ❖ Nationality (any)
    (❖ Specialties) (not obligated)
    ❖ Looks A picture is enough, but you can always describe more.
    ❖ Personality Traits alone are enough for me, but I recommend a little bit of explanation so it's clear for the others.
    ❖ History It's enough to say why your character is staying at Borealis and for how long. So if you just say orphan, 3 years, that's enough. You can put more if you want to.
    ❖ Relationships (any)




    Start
    Yo. I've got some stuff to say, before I start this thing.

    It's some day in April and the students all get a short break, for about 5 days (including the weekend). It's the last day before that break and to celebrate it, the older students organize a party in an old bunker in the north. Students between the ages of 16 and 20 are allowed. It's a big party, because it's held once a year. It's nothing like a prom, it's more of a huge party with lots of booze and other stuff. Ofcourse, the school itself doesn't apporve it, but they have never been able to stop it and quite frankly, they stopped trying. For a lot of students, this is the first time they are able to go and since it's something they've been looking out to since they were little, it'll be an exciting night. Everyone is going.
    It's lunchtime now and they still have an afternoon of training ahead. The party starts at 9PM.

    If it's necessary, I'll type out the schedule of the day, so let me know if you need that.



    Borealis

    Location & Map
    Location

    ❖ Russian Siberia (East)
    ❖ Average temp: -10°C
    ❖ Isolated, but large city, around 25km south.
    The winter is very long (half september till the end of april) and very cold. Snow only falls in september and october , but stays the entire winter. Summer is short and hot during the day, cool/cold during the night.
    ❖ Because of the isolation, there are a lot of lone vampires and werewolves. If you don't get the logic - which is probably, bc this sounds weird - just ask me, bc I don't wanna explain right now.


    Location & Map
    The school owns a large area of woods, a lake, sportareas and the buildings. There's also a lot underground. It looks old on the outside, but it's actually quite modern. There's a small airport in the north.

    1) This is where all the paperwork occurs.
    2) This is where new students and travelers sign up. It's also where you have to go when you're 'sent to the principal'.
    3) This is where the students sleep and live when they're not doing anything else. Every student has a room and a small bathroom on their own. There are four floors. The first and second floor are for the children between the ages of 6 and 12. The third and fourth floor are for the students between the ages of 13 and 20. The girls sleep on the 1st and 3rd floor, while the boys sleep on the 2nd and 4th floor. Showers are mutual and there's 10 of them on every floor. In the livingspace you have a few large rooms with TV's, pooltables, whatever you can think of.
    4) This is where the teachers and other staffmembers live and sleep. It's similar to that of the students, except there are only two floors. The women sleep on the second floor, while the men sleep on the first. There's only one, large living room.
    5) This is where everybody eats. There's room for about 400 people, so it's never full and everybody can sit where they want. There's always bread and breakfast available. If you want to eat something warm, you'll have to be there between 11 AM and 9 PM (21).
    6) These are the bedrooms of the guests. There aren't many of them, but it suffices. They have seperate rooms with their own bathrooms. There's a small, mutual livingroom.

    7) This is where the smaller children have their 'normal' classes. It's comparable to elementary school.
    8) This is where the teenagers have their 'normal' classes. It's something in between middle and highschool.
    9) This building has two rooms: A music room (with all the instruments you can think off) and a large aula, suitable for around 600 people.
    10) This is the library. Students can study and read here. Besides the normal world books, there are also a lot of books about the Hunter world. Most of them are copies of the originals.
    11) This is where the students get their theoretical classes. Half of the building resembles more of a museum, though.
    12) This is where the sick and injured are treated. They are prepared for a lot, but when someone is hurt really bad, there's always a small airplane or helicopter available.
    13) This is where students can shop. From clothes and toothpaste to weapons, alcohol and sigarettes, you can find almost anything here. And if you can't, you're allowed to order it here as well.

    1) This is where the school keeps all the original books and all the records of every person who has walked through the gates.
    2) This is the research labaratory of the school. It's full of weird stuff and it's very modern, but it lacks WiFi.
    3) This is the weapon development labaratory of the school. It's full of weird stuff and it's very modern, but it lacks WiFi.
    4) This is a large shooting range. It's always kept in top condition.
    5) It resembles a gym, but it has a simulationprogram and all kinds of weaponry.
    6) This resembles a dojo. It's where the close combat classes take place. There are matts and mirrors.
    7) This is the place where you can train with all the non-shooting weapons.
    8) This is just a regular gym. You can play all kinds of sports here.

    Students
    ❖ This isn't a school for every regular hunter. In fact, only three kinds of children end up here:
    - The ones who don't have a Hunter family that is big enough to give them the proper training. They are usually sent by their parents or other family members.
    - Orphans. They are the ones who are discovered and usually don't know anything about Hunters until they arrive at the school.
    - The troublemakers and unwanted. These children are usually so awful their family sent them away to gain some discipline. Most children belong in this group.

    ❖ The school houses children between the age of 6 and 20. That means every child has had the test with the photograph and everyone stays - unless something really serious happened - until their graduation.
    ❖ These children do not excist for the normal world. They don't have valid papers, or those won't be used.
    ❖ At the moment, there are 186 students housed. There are 53 teachers and 16 other staffmembers.


    Vacation
    Although this is a hard environment and there isn't much space for mental issues and care, they are not entirely unreasonable. The children can leave the school.
    ❖ They spend the coldest period of the year (half december - half februari) in a different country. Usually somewhere in Europe or North-America. The school will be divided in groups of maximum 50 and be stationed at a Quarter. This is not a break and the lessons (usually exams) will continue.
    ❖ The schoolyear ends on the 16th of June. It starts again on the 23rd of July.
    ❖ They get to go on a vacation in juli. It's three weeks long and they can choose their own destination (one that's on the list (15)). After these three weeks, school starts again.
    ❖ They often get a few days of during the year.
    ❖ Last winter, they went to Dubhaile, Scotland.
    ❖ Although it's not allowed, there are often parties for the students aged 15 or older. They take place in some of the old, not used buildings further north on the terrain.


    Training
    ❖ 6 years old: The children are shown a picture of a vampire. If they cannot see them, they are hunters. This is the age they are allowed at the school.
    Start of theoretic lessons.
    ❖ 8 - 10 years old: The children get their partner - with a maximum age difference of two years, although they try to keep the difference as small as possible - and a small brand of a moon on their right wrist. They start as soon as the youngest of the two turns 8.
    Start of practical lessons.

    ❖ 11 - 13 years old: They get to go on their first hunt, but are not allowed to kill anything - unless it cannot be avoided. They are guided by at least one more experienced hunter couple, who do most of the job.
    Choice of specialisations.*
    Theoretic lessons stop.
    ❖ 14 - 16 years old: They get to go on their first, unguided hunt. This is - after graduation - the highlight of their study. This is the moment their first kill happens. After this day, they go on a hunt every two weeks. They get a larger, but simple tattoo. Whenever they reach a certain amount of kills, the tattoo gets more detailed. (1ste kill, 10de kill, 25ste kill, 50ste kill, 80ste kill 100ste kill, 145ste kill, 200ste kill. After this one, a new tatto will be started.)
    ❖ 18 - 20 years old: They graduate. There's a ceremony each year, but I'm too lazy to think off that. They get another brand of a sun on their left wrist. Afterwards, they get a week to pack their stuff and leave. They are not allowed to come back for at least 2 years. However, they are allowed to keep their contacts and see their friends, just not at school.
    ❖ Ofcourse, not every student arrives at the school at the age of 6. The ones who are older get an adapted cousre. It's usually more intense and a lot more difficult as they get the same amount of time. Students who arrive really late, usually never become true Hunters and will become Teachers or researchers.


    Lessons
    Normal

    They get a normal education, although it's a bit easier than usual. It's a lot of selfstudy and it's only the basic classes. The older you get, the more you have to do on your own.
    ❖ Math
    ❖ English
    ❖ Russian
    ❖ Science (Chemistry, Physics & Biology)
    ❖ (Human) History
    ❖ Geography


    *Specialisations

    Every student gets basic training lessons. These are the things the students want to train extra. Another basic lesson is survivaling.
    Theoretics
    ❖ History & Research of monsters (H&RM): You'll learn everything there is to know about monsters, which isn't that much. This is a course that is looked down upon and not many students take it. The History part is quite extensive, but there isn't much budget and interest for the research.
    ❖ Firearms; History (FH): This is a course that cannot be taken alone. Students who follow weapondevelopment have to take it, while it's an option for the students who follow the course Firearms; Practice.
    ❖ Handarms; History (HH): This is a course that cannot be taken alone. Students who follow weapondevelopment have to take it, while it's an option for the students who follow the course Handarms; Practice.
    ❖ History & Research of Hunters (H&RH): You'll learn everything there is to know about Hunters, which isn't that much. This is a course that is looked down upon and not many students take it. The History part is quite extensive, but there isn't much budget and interest for the research.
    Practice
    ❖ Kill & Conquer; Vampires (KCV): This is the course where you'll learn every detail about killing vampires.
    ❖ Kill & Conquer; Werewolves (KCW): This is the course where you'll learn every detail about killing werewolves.
    ❖ Firearms; Practice (FP): You'll learn about guns and everything that shoots. You also learn how to use most of them, and choose a few to specialise in.
    ❖ Handarms; Practice (HP): You'll learn about knives, swords and every weapon that doesn't require munition. You also learn how to use most of them, and choose a few to specialise in.
    ❖ Close Combat (CC): Here you'll learn how to fight when you don't have a weapon.
    Both
    ❖ Weapon Development (WD): Here you'll learn how to change, improve or invent weapons of all kinds and other aids for hunting. Students who take this course also have to follow the History of both kinds of weapons.
    ❖ Medicine: This is where you'll learn advanced first aid and everything else you need to know about healing and stuff. The students can choose how many years they'll take this course and when to start, as it's based at level and not at age.
    ❖ Foreign Cooperation (FC): This is already very specific. The students who take this course will be Travelers, which are some kind of ambassadors/negotiators. This course includes at least 2 more languages (choosing from Arabic, Portuguese, Chinese, Spanish & French), communication and culture & customs. They also take two more short trips to other countries, in octobre and march.


    Exams

    ❖ They have regular tests
    ❖ There are midterm exams in january and final exams in the last and first two weeks of june.


    Money
    ❖ To keep it easy, we'll just use the euro. I don't have a clue what the normal prices are in Russia (1 euro = almost 60 ruble, but idk how much a bottle of water costs, ya know.)
    ❖ Every student gets some pocket money. When they're younger than 12, they get 20 the month. When they're older, they get 40.
    ❖ Kids who still have a family, often get more money sent to them.
    ❖ The students can earn some money when they do chores.


    Sports
    ❖ There are only teams when the interest is big enough. They play a lot of sports during training, but outside of that it depends. I'll go further on with this if people are interested.

                                                                                                                                       

    Relationshit.





    Hunters

    ❖ At least one of the parents has to be a Hunter as well. That's the only requirement.
    ❖ Hunters cannot turn into a monster.
    ❖ Hunters can recognize monsters, they're more fit physically and they are more resistant to pain and illness.
    ❖ At the proper age, they have to take a test. The results of this test determine the partner. Hunters almost never hunt without their partner and they learn to train together. They can, however, take different courses. Every combination (male x male, male x female, female x female, ...) is possible and there are no restrictions on the relationship between them.
    ❖ There are a few rules every hunter has to keep:
          - Humans have to be kept out at all costs. This means physically, but also by knowledge.
          - Werewolves may not be harmed when they are in human form, unless it's self-defence.
          - One bullet is better than two.
          - Never make a vampire go into a Tantrum on purpose
          - Never hurt a non-feeding member of the Colonies.


    Monsters

    If you've got the time and motivation; you can read everything about vampires and werewolves here. If you don't; just keep this shit in mind:
    Vampires
    ❖ Hunters recognize them because they do not have a reflection or show on images and film. This is uniquely for Hunters.
    ❖ They can die when you cut of their head, damage their heart enough or put them on fire.
    ❖ Their biggest weakness is sunlight for young vampires, and elektricity for them all. And fire, but that's kind of everybody's weakness.
    Werewolves
    ❖ Hunters recognize them because their irises are completely black (not their entire eyes, just the colourpart). Only Hunters can see this.
    ❖ They can die whenever you hurt them enough.
    ❖ Only changed werewolves are a target. It's forbidden to kill a werewolf in humanform, unless it's self-defense.
    ❖ Their biggest weakness is silver.


    Rules

    Huisregels
    ❖ Only Tamatoa is allowed to open new topics, unles I ask differently
    Whenever there is an issue, send me and/or the person involved a pb or gb. Don't put it in the topic. This is not to silence anything, but I've seen (and have been on both sides, I'll admit that) it happen when someone points something out, a lot of people react to it. There is nothing wrong with that, but it can feel like an attack and I want to avoid that. Long story short; I'm sick of the drama, whether watching it, or being part of it. This does not apply to questions. (Don't spam me)
    ❖ Maximum three characters, with at least two different sexes
    ❖ OOC clearly indicated or do it in the Talktopic
    ❖ Mentioned in your post: Who, where and with whom. A special lay-out is not obligated.
    ❖ Your post only has to be at least 50 words. That's almost nothing, so I hope there will be more posts, as they are less time consuming.
    ❖ Posts and roles have to be in English. Everything else doesn't really matter. You can choose
    ❖ If you need more information about RPG'ing, go check this out

    Rose dropped the apple on her plate and stood up to get rid of it entirely. She wasn't hungry anyways.
          While she walked across the cafetaria, towards one of the many trashcans, she noticed people staring at her. Again. She knew every face, many of them she couldn't stand, but at least he wasn't there. Yet. Her eyes fell on Lyra and Leif, and although she didn't necessarily dislike the first one, she still couldn't help herself.
          She raised a finger and gave a confident - way more confident than she had felt for a long time - yet extremely sarcastic smile and walked back to her table. There she sat down again and continued doing absolutely nothing, trying not to think about anything.

    There was a lot going on around them in the cafeteria. Lyra saw Elin and Leif sitting together somewhere else and arched her brow questioningly when she saw that Elin formed a heart with her hands, looking at Abel and Lyra when she did so.
          She restrained a grimace and just shook her head slightly. It wasn’t as if Abel wasn’t attractive, because he was. It was just that their friendship came so naturally to her that she didn’t want to ruin that.
          Seconds later she caught Leif looking at Abel and she wondered what that was about. Maybe she should ask Abel?
          Lyra turned her attention back on Abel who asked if they shouldn’t invite Rose to sit with them. Her initial reaction was to ask if he was crazy. Fortunately she was able to remain composed and just shrugged in response. Her eyes drifted again to the girl and this time Rose noticed it.
          She couldn’t say that she was surprised when the girl raised a particular finger in Lyra’s direction. Instead of calling her out on it, Lyra decided that she wasn’t worth her time. Her only response was a sickly sweet smile and then she looked at Abel again.
          ”I wouldn’t necessarily call that gesture nice, but whatever floats your boat.” She knew Abel could be quite a softy in certain situations. And honestly, she liked that because she couldn’t imagine that someone else would put up with her like that.
          “So.. I caught Leif staring at you earlier, is there something wrong?” It wasn’t as if she could ask Leif himself. Or well.. she probably could but whenever they started conversation they had ended most of the time in an empty classroom. Another pro for being friends with Abel; she was able to keep her sanity around him.. mostly.

    Elin smiled brightly when Leif pushed his plate towards her. She loved it when people gave her food. Even more so when they gave it to her willingly. Although, sometimes it was more fun when they didn't.
          'Oh, stop it. It is almost vacation, No time to sprawl dictionary words around.' She teasingly slapped his arm. 'Your giving me a headache, and it is way too early to feel like having a hangover before the party even started.' Elin smirked at Leif and put a few more fries in her mouth, but only after she swiped the ketchup of them. 'You are mentally disabled for liking fries with ketchup on them.' When she saw that Lyra caught her making a heart shaped frame, she stuck out her tongue to her.
          'It's a feasibility if Abe's involved, I don't think I would be very surprised.'
          'Abe's that easy, huh? Maybe I should try. He is hot. And Ballerina? He's probably dreaming about all the iceskating he can do in the holidays.'

    ABEL NATHANIEL RUTHERFORD
    17 ❖ Australian ❖ Cafetaria ❖ Lyra & Rose


    Abel didn't really notice what was going on between Lyra and Elin and later between Lyra and Rose. That was mostly because he didn't care enough to look up or anything. ”I wouldn’t necessarily call that gesture nice, but whatever floats your boat.” Lyra responded. Abel sighed. He didn't know if he was doing the right thing by asking Rose to sit with them, but for some reason he felt guilty towards her eventhough he didn't do anything wrong. He always pretended to be a heartless bastard, but he really wasn't especially not towards lost souls like Rose. Abel was going to turn around to Rose before Lyra spoke again. “So.. I caught Leif staring at you earlier, is there something wrong?”
          He turned back to her with a big frown on his face. 'No, no, there's nothing wrong,' He said immediately. 'He's just distracted all the time and it annoys me, because he's my partner, you know?' Abel looked at Leif for a second, but he didn't really want to get in to it too much, so he turned to Rose.
          'Hey,' He smiled a little. 'Who you, maybe.......like to uhm...sit with us?' He felt like an idiot for sounding so stupid.

    16 ➵ Thinking & Eating ➵ Cafetaria ➵ Lyra & Abel




    She was trying to decide whether she'd go train a bit or just go to bed, since she was tired as fuck. She hated herself for being so weakminded. After all, it had been a year and she had to get over it one day. Then again, it was the first time in weeks she thought about it again.
          'Hey,' she suddenly heard. It was Abel. She looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Would you, maybe.......like to uhm...sit with us?' She blinked. At first she wanted to laugh. She didn't and realised she wanted to say yes. Well, she did want to sit next to Abel, but his sidebitch was there as well. So instead, she said:
    "Is this some kind of joke?"

    When Abel replied that there was nothing wrong Lyra conceited. Or at least, for now, because what Abel did next was quite.. interesting. The fact that he had been oblivious to what had happened before made her contemplate on how naive the handsome boy was. Wondering if she should step in, the drama had already unfolded.
          As expected Rose didn't seem to take Abel's question very well and Lyra had to admit that she agreed with Rose. It seemed like a joke, but obviously Rose didn't know Abel very well or she would have known that he was too nice to make a joke about it.
          A sly smile had crept upon Lyra's lips while she looked at the girl who has just given her the opportunity to give a reaction.
          "Oh love, you should have known that you're the only joke around here."
          She then turned her attention to Abel, ignoring the girls’ existence again.
          "I know you want best for everyone but some people are just not worth the time." She smiled warmly as she put her hand on his arm and her blue eyes met his. "I sometimes wonder what you would do without me."

    ABEL NATHANIEL RUTHERFORD
    17 ❖ Australian ❖ Cafetaria ❖ Lyra & Rose


    Abel had no bad intentions whatsoever, but for some reason it always seemed like he did. That may have been his own fault, but he definitely hated that. He changed a lot through out the years and sometimes he came across as a heartless jerk, but in fact he had quite a big heart and he never really meant to hurt anybody. That was why he didn't understand the reaction of Rose. She acted like Abel was making fun of her, which wasn't true. He wanted her to join them and that's why asked her, nothing fake about it.
          Abel tried to come up with a good answer for her question, but thank god Lyra could find the words before him - atleast that was what he thought before she starting speaking. The moment Lyra opened her mouth, was the moment he remembered that Rose and Lyra weren't really friends and that's probably why Rose thought Abel was making fun of her because he was hanging out with Lyra. "Oh love, you should have known that you're the only joke around here." Lyra had said to Rose. Abel sighed deeply and turned away from Rose, because he felt bad for her.
          "I know you want best for everyone but some people are just not worth the time." Lyra laughed a little."I sometimes wonder what you would do without me."
          Abel looked at Lyra and sighed again. He felt really stupid for doing that, he was afraid that Rose might hate him eventhough his intentions were good and pure. 'Well, not te be rude, Lyra. But without me, it would be really cold in here," His face looked serious, but after his last words a smile formed on his face because he was joking and Lyra would know that. He loved Lyra, she was a great friend and eventhough they were totally different - they complimented each other. Abel sometimes wondered why Leif was his partner instead of Lyra.

    "Oh love, you should have known that you're the only joke around here." Rose didn't flinch. She might have been feeling weak and stupid, that didn't mean she was going to show it. She only cried twice last year and this was definitely not enough to make it a third time. Nevertheless, she didn't enjoy it either.
          "Then you must've missed the mirror this morning, doll," she replied. She saw how Abel turned away from her, as if she didn't exist anymore. As if talking to her was a huge mistake.* To be honest, that hurt a lot more than any comment Lyra could've made. She didn't wait for any response and stood up, walking towards the kitchen. She wasn't hungry, but moving seats to sit alone some place else, was too pathetic. She still had some pride left. She got in line.

    *This is how Rose sees it, I know Abel didn't mean it that way. (:

    17 — Cafeteria — Elin


    "As if vacation has ever stemmed me before," Leif said smiling and leaned back in his chair. He was now balancing on the two rear legs of the chair, but his balance was very good due to the extensive training so it was no issue for him. Until someone passed by, kicking his chair as hard as he could which resulted into Leif slamming back in his chair, against the edge of the table. He spun around, rather angry but the unnecessary aggressiveness of the unknown person. Leif didn't find out who it was, since the person had disappeared and Leif was just looking around the crowded cafeteria like a crazy person.
          "Mentally disabled?" Leif repeated Elins words with a raised eyebrow, leaning back in his chair again. He'd already forgotten what'd just happened. "Hardly. I think you are feeble-minded for liking fries sans ketchup. I postulate that ketchup is the omission fries need. Without it, they're nothing." He spoke the words on a conniving, narrowing his eyes a little to sound more convincing.
          "I wouldn't call Abe easy, but rather malleable... pliable if you will." He glanced over at his partner, now mixed in a conversation with Roseleigh and Lyra. Or he was anyway, because Leif saw Rose getting up the table she was sitting at and walking in the direction of the kitchen. His attention wandered quite easily away from the drama Lyra had no doubt created back to his conversation partner. "Your point is valid though... han er ganske kjekk." Leif wasn't ashamed of calling his partner hot at all. It was a fact, no point around it. He did feel uncomfortable about discussing it with Elin, though, but he hoped it didn't show.
          Leif laughed at the mention of Elins nickname for her partner. Ballerina, sure. Leif thought he'd called Reed 'Yuri on Ice' once, though he can't really recall it properly. Maybe he just dreamed it. He thought it was funny anyway.
          Quickly checking the time on his watch, he decided it was time for a smoke. "I'm going to go for a smoke outside. D'you want to join?" he asked Elin. He didn't think she would, though he could always ask.

    Han er ganske kjekk — He is pretty handsome

    MASON JONATHAN SAUNDERS
    19 • American • Cafetaria • Alone




    As soon as Mason entered the cafetaria, his body filled with some form of joy. He always enjoyed the breaks, especially when he got to spend them with his friends. He started looking for Timur or Reed but he saw neither one of them in the cafetaria. He sighed deeply and at that moment his eyes fell on Leif en Elin. Well, that was definitely not an option since he kind of hated Leif - okay he didn't hate him, he just didn't like him. Mason started to walk towards an empty table to wait for someone to join him.
          Right in front of him, Rose walked by. He wouldn't call her a good friend or anything, but they used to have good connection. He tried to make some eyecontact with her, but she didn't seem interested. Mason decided to let her be. He sat down at the table.

    REED KEENAN JONES

    Canadian ▼ 18 ▼ Cafeteria ▼ Rose

    With his mind full of thoughts and his eyebrows deeply frowned, he walked into the cafeteria where not even the smell of food could catch his attention. Reed was currently constructing a new weapon against vampires in which he wanted to implement some of the new techniques he had learned during the classes. His head had been occupied for hours with all kinds of ideas, feasible or not, and it made his eyes feel as if he had been staring at a candlelight for ages.
          Once Reed joined the queue for the food, he realised how hungry he actually was and it made him look up from the ground. His green eyes scanned his environment in less than five seconds and rested on one specific blonde girl in the crowd – Poppy.
          The frown, which had left his face a couple of seconds ago, returned after Reed recognized that the sweater, covering Elin’s upper body, was his. He tried to remember her taking it, but he simply could not. Reed remembered how she fell asleep in his arms after watching a movie together the other night, but he was almost certain of the fact that she was not wearing his sweater at that moment – not that he cared that much, it was just Elin anyway and she had done it before.
          It took some time for his frown to fade away and his genuine smile to appear; however, their eye contact did not last long. Reeds mind was no longer fed by knowledge or his environment – it was fed by the thought of food.
          When focussing back on the couple of metres around him, he recognized the black haired girl in front of him. A grin appeared on his face while he gently laid his hand on Rose’s shoulder. Even though he had the feeling that she was trying to push him away somehow, he was not willing to give up and get the old Rose back.
          ’Afternoon, curly head. What’s on your menu tonight?’ Reed could not resist devoting her a smirk after giving her shoulder a soft squeeze.

    'I don't want to leave her just because she makes me a better person.'

    ELIN NYSTRÖM

    17 - cafeteria - Leif

    Elin pulled a face when Leif preached about fries with ketchup and pretended as if she had to throw up. ‘There are more than enough reasons not to each ketchup. It looks like blood.’ Okay, not at all but whatever. ‘A tablespoon of ketchup contains more sugar than a chocolate chip cookie. Every sane person would rather eat a chocolate cookie than a tablespoon of ketchup.’ Not that she watched her sugar intake, but oh well. ‘So that also makes it way too sweet. Fries are supposed to be salty. Also, ketchup is gloppy and it smells gross. And people always assume people want ketchup with their fries, just no. Ketchup is way too overrated. Especially on hamburgers. I mean, there are already tomatoes on hamburgers. You don’t need ketchup. Not for burgers, not for fries, not for anything.’ Yes, she had definitely given speeches about her distaste for ketchup before.
          ’He is,’ Elin agreed when they talked about Abel, her eyes following the blonde guy. She always had the feeling he didn’t like her much though. Talking about partners, her eyes locked with Reed’s. When she saw that he noticed her wearing his sweater, she stuck out her tongue. He wouldn’t complain about it anyway. And if he did, she’d still steal his sweaters. They smelled kinda nice.
          ’I'm going to go for a smoke outside. D'you want to join?’ She shrugged.
          ’Sure, I can use some “fresh” air.’ She made air-quotation marks with her fingers. ‘You know what?’ Elin smirked at Leif. ‘If you stop using fancy words until the party starts, I will go there with you.’

    LYRA MOREAU
    ««« Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn »»»

    Even though Rose was not someone she liked, she was a bit disappointed by her reaction. Lyra liked having a go at Rose because she was the only one who at least tried to bite back. However she was unimpressed with the mirror remark that the girl had made and sighed when Rose walked away before she could give her another piece of her mind.
          Thankfully Abel managed to entertain her. He had a moment of cheekiness when he told her that it would be cold without him. She laughed freely at this, knowing fully well that he was absolutely right. Lyra had the tendency to be a bit cold towards others and Abel had the ability to soften her up, even if it was just a little bit.
          "I wonder what happened to her." Lyra began as she thought back at Rose.
          She wouldn't admit it aloud but secretly she admired the girl. It was just that their personalities clashed and after one particular event it became very clear that there was no way that they would ever be friendly again.
          “Oh well, enough about her. How has your day been so far?” She looked around before she chuckled.
          “I heard one of the teachers showed up with a hangover this morning.” She wanted to add that the curious thing was that one of his female students had been feeling the same way, but she decided that she would keep that information to herself for a bit. Who know, it might come in handy.

    When Rose stood up and walked away, Abel followed her with his eyes. He didn't really know what he did wrong, but he felt bad. For a second he wanted to follow her, but he didn't get up from his seat. He didn't want to cause any more trouble, eventhough that was not his intention in the first place.
          "I wonder what happened to her." Lyra's voice got Abel back to reality. He looked at his friend and shrugged. 'No idea,' He responded quietly. 'I think something bad, since she changed a lot. Right?'
          “Oh well, enough about her. How has your day been so far?” Lyra changed the subject completely with that question and Abel didn't mind. He laughed a little. 'Kind of boring, to be honest,' He said. 'Boring classes and nothing to amuse me,'
          Abel looked up with a weird face when Lyra said there was a teacher with a hangover that morning. He thought of all the teachers he had and he couldn't really see any of them drinking enough to be hungover. 'That's just weird,' Abel run his hand through his hair, while laughing at the thought. 'I mean what teacher would be drunk? Imagine that teacher dancing all over the place, no thank you,'
