collision of the Newbies (Reira,)

[Darien]

OOC((first post to Reira, then open))

Darien sat up in a cold sweat, the re-occurring nightmare he had been having of late still tingling on his skin. He was in his white boxers alone, and it was two in the morning. He pushed the covers off of himself and sat on the edge of the bed, his face in his hands. he wiped his face off and stood, walking over to his suitcase. he didn't know if Matt was asleep or gone, but he didn't really care. It wasn't as though he had anything against his recent opponent, it was really just that he didn't much care to check and see. He went over to the bag, throwing on some faded blue jeans and his belt. he threw a white t-shirt over his shoulder, but didn't put it on since he was already sweating and felt good in his skin.

He left the dorm, heading to the gym. His muscles felt slack, and they needed to be worked. Darien was a powerfully built kid, but even he liked to work out sometimes. He pulled open the double doors, and entered into the large weight lifting area. He planned on doing some bench-pressing, but when he laid his eyes on the new punching bag (some kid broke the last one) he knew, it was time to catch up on his boxing. Tossing down the shirt, he walked over to the bag and pushed it lightly, testing its weight.

Perfect.

He threw a few punches, liking the feeling of his fist against the bag. He began to punch harder, and work combos. He did this for about a half hour straight. then, sweat pouring off his now exhausted body, he stopped, taking deep breathes and closing his eyes. The pain of the dream had subsided, but he could still remember it, and every time he did a chill went up his spine. turning around, he walked back over to his shirt, fulling intending on heading over to the forest for a nice nighttime stroll.

OOC(( finally, a thread for Darien.))

[Reira]

Reira blew up her bangs in frustration when she saw what time her alarm clock read. It was 2 am in the morning and all she had been doing was tossing and turning. She wasn't used to her new bed yet and was really missing her old room back home. Sighing, she got out of bed, knowing there was no way she could get to sleep.

Well...now what. If I stay here, I'll probably wake up Dani. I guess I'll go for a looong walk to tire me out.

Grabbing her black form fitting hoodie, she pulled it over her tank top and kept the hood up. She contemplated on whether or not to change into a skirt, but she decided no one was going to see her, and hence stayed in her Hello Kitty pajama bottoms. Slipping on random flats, she left her dorm room as quietly as possible.

The cool air was refreshing and the sky was bright with a full moon. There wasn't a cloud in sight, and all the stars could be visibly seen. If anything, the atmosphere only made her wake up, instead of tire her out.

Not really wanting to hang around the school building, she looked to the forest and decided that could be a more interesting walk. Turning in the direction of the forest, Reira jsut happened to pass the gym building.

She didn't really think much about it, until she saw that a light was on. Curiosity egging her on, she peeked into the window and was surprised to see a person hitting a punching bag. She was half expecting to see a janitor or something. It looked to her that the boy was just finishing his workout. Not wanting to be a creeper, she backed away from the window and continued on her way to the forest.

[Darien]

OOC(( any mod reading this, please move thread to school grounds. thanks.))

Darien left the building, and as he did, caught the tail end of feet as they headed into the exact direction he was. Wondering who would be up at this time of night besides himself, Darien jogged after the person, fully intending on catching up and seeing what they were doing. The cool breeze felt cool against his body, the sweat on his skin only adding to the feeling. He lifted his head, letting the cool breeze pass thorugh his semi-long hair. His dark blue eyes found the clear night sky, and he stopped, mesmerized by the moon.

He shook his head, clearing it for the task ahead. He sprinted, and caught up with the person he had seen in short time. It was a female. he called out to her. "Excuse me...but, what are you doing up this late?" it was then that it really registered that he was shirtless, and he blushed. He reached up and grabbed the t-shirt off his shoulder, then threw it on while he waited for an answer.

[Reira]

Humming softly to one of her dad's songs, Reira continued walking towards the forest at a leisurly pace. No thoughts of what could be lurking in the forest even came up in her mind. It wasn't till she heard footsteps behind her that her mind blossomed with 'what ifs' and started thinking about things that dwelled in the dark.

She was just about to look over her shoulder when a sudden "Excuse me...but, what are you doing up this late?" startled her. Letting out a small "Eeep", she sighed when she realized it was just the boy from the gym she saw previously. He was still shirtless. Reira avoided looking at him, as he put his shirt on, it seemed like the appropriate thing to do.

"I couldn't sleep, so I thought a walk might tire me out. What about you? Seems a little late to be working out," she said with a slight smile.

Placing a piece of her pink hair behind her ear, she once again looked to the forest, then back to the boy, whom she was yet to get a name from.

Please no ghosts...I really don't want to have to deal with one tonight.

[Darien]

Darien shrugged.

"Well, to be truthful, i had a bad dream." he laughed, placing his hands behind his head and looking up at the sky. "Seems kinda childish, huh?" he looked back down at the girl, then out his hands in his pockets. Back home, he had alot of girls who were his friends, but here they all seemed cold and distant, and he didnt really want anything to do with them. He wasnt a weakling by any means, but he was on the more sensitive side, and some guys decided to take it upon themselves to make fun of him for it by calling him a faggot. He didnt really care what they thought. He was a man, and was attracted to women, so why should he give a damn what other guys thought?

He shrugged, then held out his right hand.

"Care for a walk?" he said with a small smile. "I know this gorgeous place up around the hill there..." he put his hand back in his pocket and kept his eyes on her face, instead of letting them wander elsewhere like most men would do.

[Reira]

"I don't think it's childish at all," Reira answered. "You should see me when I have bad dreams! I lock myself in the closet with a flashlight and sleep the rest of the night huddled in the corner!," she said with a laugh. "Of course, I havn't done that in a while."

Reira was always very down to the point, so she didn't really have a problem telling him that. Not really caring what people thought about her was always a plus to. Overall he seemed nice enough, she was a stranger to this new school and needed at least one decent friend.

"Care for a walk?" He asked her, offering her a hand.

Reira was a little surprised when he held out his hand for her to take. Nonetheless, she placed her small hand in his. "Sure, as long as the place your going to take me to is really as gorgeous as you say it is," she said, waiting for him to lead the way.

This could be interesting!

[Darien]

Darien grinned as she placed her small hand in his, his pearly whites flashing in the moonlight. He turned, and, not walking more than a few feet, pulled aside some bushes to reveal a long winding trail through the forest. there wasnt anything to get your clothes caught on, so it would be perfect for her to walk in. He thought it sweet that she would make him feel better by recounting a situation she had been in, and he hoped he could make her night a little more special.

He plunged into the forest, lightly pulling her along. the forest trail wound its way up to a small cliff, with tree limbs totally covering the view. He released her hand, and pulled aside the limbs, tucking them behind the trunk of nearby trees. He looked back to her and held out his hand toward the cliff, as if revealing a sight to behold. And what a sight it was.

The moon was just at the perfect angle to shine down on the entire instituite, the tower showing off by reaching highest toward the sky. the cliff was only about ten or fifteen feet high. at the base was a large lake, which was fed by a little stream that flowed up and around through the other side of the woods. The lake sat on sort of an edge, which then cut off and dropped quite a ways. The instituite was in front of them but down a little. it wasnt far away, but reflected in the moonlight.

Darien grinned over at Her.

"Its as beautiful as you can get when in a school prison."

He stood by, hands in his pockets, gazing at the moon and stars.

[Matrim]

(OOC: Hope ya'll don't mind. Saw then "and then open" and decided to join the good view)

Matrim hadn't been able to sleep that night. Thoughts of everything that had happened, the death's, the reoccuring number of 5 years, Jordan, meeting the daughter of Samara Marino in a prison school. It couldn't all be coincidence.

Could it.....

Matrim heard his room mate leave their dorm late at night and decided to follow him. Not because he wanted to spy or anything, but mostly because he was bored and restless. He got up wearing his plaid blue boxer pants, throwing on a t-shirt and flip flops. He walked out onto the school grounds but lost track of the kid. So he decided to go for a stroll. After all he had a lot of energy but nothing to do with it.

He walked around, even thinking he saw a few other people up this late. For a second he thought he caught a glimpse of the Doctor being blasted into a wall by his MAC.... interesting story behind that no doubt. But Matt decided to move on until he saw in the distance pink hair.

"Reira.... huh...." He walked and as he got closer he raised his hand up to show it was him, then noticed his room mate was there too. "Weird... guess he ended up finding someone to hang out with."

He had a scuffle with this kid before, but it was all in the purpose of training the body as far as Matt was concerned. After all, if you couldn't train seriously with someone, you couldn't take them seriously as a friend.

"Hey." He said, greeting the two.

[Alex]

OOC: Joining because Alex makes any thread cool ;D Nah, just kidding, hope you all don't mind.

Alex stood standing on the balcony outside his room, the cool breeze blowing his hair back. He couldn't sleep, and normally, when he couldn't sleep, he'd play his guitar softly, but this time, he didn't feel like it. From the balcony and the height he was at, he could make out two figures, one he could tell was a girl, the other, not so much. As he stood there, leaning on the railing, another figure appeared, and this one, he recognized immediately. " Matrim..." he thought, pausing momentarily, trying to think of what to do, before dashing back into his room and closing the balcony door tight. Pulling on a black jacket, he made his way out of his room, and headed down to the ground floor, and walked out of the building, making his way to the spot where he saw Matrim was. His hands in his pockets, Alex drifted in and out of the shadows of the trees his dark pajama pants, shirt, and jacket blending in with the darkness.

As he grew nearer, he could hear voices, one was definitely a girl's, and the other was a guy. Stopping, he then heard Matrim's voice, and after standing in the darkness for a few moments, he walked out, his jacket swishing in the wind. " Hey." he said, mostly directing this at Matrim, the other two he had no idea who they were, but he knew he'd find out sooner or later.

[Reira]

"I'm Reira by the way," she said to the boy that currently held her hand. It was a good thing that he was leading her through the woods, if she was by herself, heaven knows how many things she would bump into.

Before he could tell her his name or even get any futher into the woods , a very familiar voice had intervened. Glancing behind her shoulder she notcied it was Matrim.

"Oh! Hi Matrim, your up late, then again..I guess we all our..is that your friend," she asked Matrim, looking behind him to see yet another boy with dark hair.

She figured the first boy she met didn't want to wait any longer, and she gestured for him to lead the way, all the while signalling for Matrim and his friend to come along to.

When they got to their destination, Reira caught her breath. The view was amazing, and the lake reminded her of silk as it reflected the moons rays in silvery ripples.

"It really is gorgous! How did you find this palce," she asked with a smile on her face.

I hope someone starts the introductions soon...It would be weird not knowing everyones names.

[Matrim]

Speak of the devil and he'll appear. Just thinking about someone you could take seriously after a fight must have brought Alex. Of course, it seemed that Samara didn't know Alex yet. It's a strange person not to know if you think about it. He was the Principal's son.

"Oh! Hi Matrim, your up late, then again..I guess we all our..is that your friend"

In all reality he's the guy that kicked my ass in order to be the leader of the gang I'm starting.

"Something like that. This is Alex Hikari. If you're wondering why his last name sounds familiar, he's the principal's son." Matrim didn't know whether or not this would offend Alex to use his father as a description of who Alex was, but it was a common thing by now so hopefully he got past it. They followed Darien to a point that apparently had a good view.

Eventually Matrim got to see that view. He liked it. It was a good view of the sky at night, there wasn't a lot of pollution in the area so the stars were pretty bright. Matrim was usually in the major cities wherever he went and never really got to see a lot of the stars.

"It really is gorgous! How did you find this palce."

"Yeah, you haven't been here too long, must not be gettin much sleep, eh kid?" Matrim spoke, not out of disdain, not out of a grudge, but partially out of respect. The kid could fight, he definitely earned Matrim's respect if nothing else.

[Alex]

As Alex stood there, his hands in his pockets, he heard the girl talk." Oh! Hi Matrim, your up late, then again..I guess we all are..is that your friend?" Friend? You could say that, or you could call Alex the leader of a gang and the guy who beat Matrim in a fight. Before he could introduce himself properly, Matrim had decided to do it for him. "Something like that. This is Alex Hikari. If you're wondering why his last name sounds familiar, he's the principal's son." Alex didn't mind, if anyone introduced Alex, they'd eventually have to associate him with his father the Principal. It was a common occurrance, one that Alex had gotten used to long ago. The three had been walking through the forest as introductions had been made, Alex following behind. As he looked up, he saw that they had stopped walking, and in front, was a excellent view of...a scenery. A nice scenery, Alex had to admit. "Nice place." he muttered, his hands still in his pockets, as he hung in the back.

Truth was, Alex wasn't big on crowds, and while this could hardly be called a crowd, it was still unfamiliar to him. He then heard the girl speak up in awe. "It really is gorgeous! How did you find this place?" That was a good question, one that Alex would like to know the answer to, but that would have to wait.

OOC: Darien said he wouldn't be rping anymore...so I don't know if I reply to this thread or not..
