"Why did I even bother to come today." A glowing green gelert muttered to himself as he stood infront of his thin locker. He wore a black muscle shirt with a yellow radioactive symbol on it. He also wore one of his many pairs of baggy dark blue jeans with a black belt loosly done around his waist. On his feet he wore a pair of black converses.
I alreay know everything they're teaching this lesson so why did I even bother to wake up this morning...oh right...it's Ria's fault. He sighed and turned the dial on the lock to the 3 numbers that would allow him access to his locker. click. Raffi pulled open his locker and boredly glanced inside at the books piled on the shelf. "Lets see. English, honors Chem, geometry......" He stood there grabbing his books and mumbling out his classes of the day. He shoved the books into his black paperboy backpack that had a small radioactive sign on the bottom right corner of the cover flap. After he grabbed all his books he ran his fingers through his golden hair. Now where is that girl... He thought glancing around hallway for his companion who seemed to never leave his side. Ria was a green ixi that lived with Raffi and was the whole reason he was in school today. He spotted her laughing and bounding down the hallway.
Her lime eyes sparkled when she saw her best friend, Raffi. "Raffi!" She yelled out in a cheery voice. Ria was 17, two years youger than Raffi. She wore her usual outfit today though she'd probably get in trouble again for wearing her yellow fishnet top over a black strapless bra. A plade purple skirt hung over her dark blue baggy pants that she had seem to probably steal from on of Raffi's drawers this morning. On her arms were he usual icy blue arm warmers. Her black shoes with the hot pink star on the sides thudded against the ground as she jogged through the hall. The only thing different she wore today was a black choaker that had a red jewel in the middle. She stopped right next to Raffi with a huge grin on her face.
"Hey Ria." He said with a half smile and patted her on the head. Even though Ria was the one who woke him and dragged him to school today he couldn't be mad at his friend.
Ria laughed and poked Raffi in the stomach. "So Mr. Smarts did you do your homework?" She asked.
Raffi rolled his eyes. "...Yes." He said and patted his bookbag.
It was still about 20 minutes till the school bell rang, saying it was time for school and you had about 8 minutes to start heading to class.

Cas walked aimlessly down the hallways, unsure of where she was going until she accidentally walked into someone. Looking up, she opened her mouth, an apology already poised on her tongue. "Sorry, I didn't watch where I was going," she replied in a dull, automatic voice. She leaned against her own locker, surveying the crowd through eyes shaded with sunglasses. Her gaze flickered to a glowing green gelert and a green Ixi.
Her interest was piqued; who was this guy? She made it a mission to know everything about everyone in the school: who liked who, who was cheating on who, etc. Never considered popular by any stretch of the imagination, her endless fascination with the "elite" at the high school was a source of amusement to her entire family. Yet this guy, he was.. different. She didn't know him.
Her eyes scanned the figure before her; a black shirt with some yellow symbol on it and jeans. A belt was slung around his waist. He was, she noted, wearing black converses. She looked down at her own feet; white, custom converses lacing up to her knees, covered in black-inked designs. Well, she though, at least he's got good tastes in shoes.
She played with the strap of her black canvas messenger bag, noting with a slight smirk that he had yet to notice that someone was just standing there, watching him.
Her gaze traveled to the Ixi; already she could tell that if she knew her, they'd be friends. Cas admired her style. Her eyes flicked enviously over the purple plaid skirt; she'd seen one just like in Moxie the other day, yet she'd be just short of enough money.

Raffi turned back to his opened locker and kicked it closed with his foot before he twisted the dial till it was locked. He spun around on his heels and slumped against his locker. His mouth opened, letting out a yawn. "I wished you hadn't woken me up this morning." He mumbled while scanning the hallway with his eyes. Apparently not a lot of others have shown up just yet. Well duh that isn't unusual.
Ria was hopping from one foot to the other with her hands cupped together behind her back. Her mouth was pulled up into a grin and she giggled. "Well sorry but you have to come to school at some time. I don't want you to get held back again for staying out just because you don't feel like coming to school." She said and poked him quite roughly in the shoulder.
Raffi sighed and rubbed his shoulder. He had been out of school for practically a week, he wasn't enjoying his time back yet. His eyes drooped halfway down as he stared at the fluorescent lights on the ceiling. These lights seriously destroy people's health. he thought stifling another yawn. He hadn't gotten much sleep the night before because of Ria and her music.
Ria just laughed at her tired friend and looked around. She spotted a white gelert across the hallway. Ooh who's that?! she thought, her lime eyes twinkled at the sight of someone she didn't know. I wonder what she's like? Hmmm what's her name too? She said now staring at the ceiling tapping her chin with one of her black fingers. She shrugged at all the questions running through her head and looked back at Cas. She grinned friendly with her eyes closed and waved to her.

Cas waved back, a little hesitant, before offering a smile of her own. She took this as an invitation to walk over, and so she strode across the hallway in two strides, over to the ixi and the gelert. She noticed with a keen eye that the glowing gelert was looking at the lights with something like disgust.
"Hi," she said, her voice softly betraying her nerves, "I'm Cas."
Her gaze found its way to the boy once more; who was he? She began fiddling with the hem of her knit cap, drawn over dirty blonde hair and creamy white ears.
Her nervous fingers found their way to her gloves; chalk white and cut off after the first knuckle, they were ages past beaten in, and yet still looked perfect on her long, slender fingers.
Her eyes were resting on the boy in a way she hoped wasn't obvious; not that she was attracted to him (yet the thought set a funny feeling in her), but it was always pretty awkward to find someone staring at you. Especially, she reasoned, someone you don't know.

Ria's grin grew even bigger when Cas returned her wave and walked over. Finally I can meet this person! She thought to herself. Cas, mmm nice name. It seems to fit her. "Nice to meet you Cas! My name's Ria." She glanced over at Raffi who apparently was still consentrating on the lights above. She elbowed him in the side hard and glared at him.
Raffi glanced down at Ria and noticed the new person who had joined them apparently. When'd this lady get here? He thought to himself. He hadn't noticed her staring before she came over. He wanted to greet her but he didn't catch her name, the light had distracted him.
Ria sighed and shook her head when she realized that Raffi hadn't heard a thing. "This," she motioned to Cas. "Is Cas." She said and turned to face the newcomer. Her eyes skimmed over Cas' outfit. Hmm nice style. She thought with a half smile.
Raffi nodded and looked at Cas. "Hey." He said with smile. "The name's Raffi." He stood up straighter against the lockers.
ooc: yeah it's a little short XD

ooc; s'okay. i was sitting there thinking "how do i make her respond without making it supershort?"
bic;
She smiled. "Hey Ria, Raffi." Looking at Ria's skirt, she couldn't help but ask, "Where'd you get that skirt?"
Her eyes were discreetly looking over Raffi; this close up, she could see the highlights in his golden blonde hair, brought out by the bright lights above them. His eyes sparkled bright yellow and gold.
The smallest bit embarrassed that she caught herself staring, she began fiddling with her gloves again.

Ria looked down at her skirt. "This old thing?" She said and looked back up at Cas. "I've had it for a few years....forgot where I got it though." She said automatically trying to remember. She smiled and motioned to Cas's clothes. "I really like your outfit!" She said with a small giggle.
Raffi smirked as the two young women infront of him were talking about clothes. I always wonder why women have such a fasination with clothes and style... He skimmed over Cas's outfit. Isn't bad though. "So Cas, I haven't really seen you around much. You in any of the clubs?" He asked.
Ria had caught Cas's wandering eyes to her glowing friend next to her. Hmmm.. She didn't bother to bring it up to her or anything while Raffi was around.
ooc: lawl it's okay ^-^

"Thanks," she replied quickly to Ria, before looking back over at Raffi. She'd heard his question and fought back a small blush.
"Oh, not really. Never really found anything, although the track team doesn't look all that bad." She was internally panicking; did she sound stupid? Nervous?
"You in any clubs? Come to think of it, I've never seen you around before." She felt comfortable (or as comfortable as she could in the circumstances) looking at him, now that they were talking; her eyes took in his hands with unnerving accuracy. Roiben always teased her about how she took in everything about someone, down to the insignificant details.

Ria nodded. "Your welcome!" Before she talked any more she turned to the locker that was behind her and started opening it. She had spent so much time talking with Cas and Raffi that she almost forgot to grab her books for today. Her hands were shuffling through the books that just seemed to be tossed into the locker.
"Track eh? Mmm it seems nice, though I'm not really the running type." He said with a smile. "I'd much prefer dancing to running." He always did like to go to clubs and raves outside of school. "I don't really show up for school much, never feel like coming all the time but yeah I'm in the gamer's club." Ah yes the gamer's club. Created just for video gamers like himself.
Ria glanced at Raffi while she dug through her locker. "I didn't know you were in that club!" She usually knew everything Raffi was up to. When'd he join? She thought to herself.
Raffi nodded. "Yeah I have been since the begining of the school year..." He mumbled. I swear I told her about it one day...forgetful.

Cas immediately perked up. "Gamer's club?" One of her many secret talents was video games. She often stayed up all night, much to the amusement of Roiben, who laughed whenever she came downstairs at six in the morning, bleary eyed yet proud of herself.
Another thing he'd said caught her attention. "You dance?" Then added, "Yeah, I get what you mean about school. My brother threatened that he'd call our parents to complain if I didn't go." Her eyes darkened at the mention of her "mother and father."

Raffi nodded. "Yep there's a gamers club. We meet on thursdays in the cafeteria after school. Play video games for about 2 hours, then head on home." He said, roughly discribing what the club did and met. "And then sometimes play more video games when you get back home." He added with a small chuckle. "Yeah I dance, but not like classical dances...I rave dance." He said with a smirk. Oh how he loved to go to raves. Glowsticks/glownecklaces/glowbracelets everwhere, the loud base of the music, the many different people who gathered there.
"I most of the time tag along with him to the raves." She said and had finally located all her material she needed for the day. She only pulled out one textbook for the first class of the day. "Mmmm well I make him come to school everyonce in a while to make sure he doesn't have to repeat the grade like he had to in middle school."
"Well I'm sorry that school is so boring and I already know how to do everything they're teaching right now." He muttered, it seemed to him that he said this quite a lot when Ria brought up the subject. Raffi turned back to Cas saw her face change when she mentioned her parents. "Don't like your parents much?" He asked.

"Ah, not really," she admitted. "Nor does my brother, although we both don't really know them well. Only in pictures, the occasional phone call, maybe a letter."
She had the tendency to reply to the last thing asked, and work backward. "You're into raves?" Then, soon after, "Thursdays in the cafeteria? And just out of curiosity, how many girls, would you say?"
She completely forgot about her shyness as she conversed.

Ria sighed. "Raffi and I arn't on good terms with our parent's either. Raffi's parents kept freaking out about his chemical obsession and how he did a ton of experiments and that he went out to raves. He got arrested once when the police broke up a rave. Thankfully they let him go." She said with a shrug. "Me and my parents...we just didn't get along too well. They didn't really like how I acted and crap like that. but it's all fine." She said leaning against her locker, and she held her book with both hands against her thighs.
Raffi nodded. "Yeah." He said agreeing with Ria. "Anyways yeah we go to raves quite a lot actually." He said. "Not like we do any of the drugs there though." He glanced at the clock. How much time till class starts? He thought to himself. Ehh still about 15 more minutes, that's good "I haven't seen many girls in the gamer's club. Only maybe 2 or 3. Not many girls show up." He said with a shrug.
Ria chuckled. "Yeah because most don't want to be around a ton of teenage video game freaks for two hours." She said with a half smile.

"'Teenage video game freaks?' Should I be offended?" Cas laughed. "Yeah, I know what you mean about your parents. And I think I'll join this club. Sounds like fun."
She eyes flickered briefly to the watch on her wrist, the head on the inside of her wrist (ooc;y'know, the part that shows the time? can't remember the name.). She still had nearly fifteen minutes to kill.
ooc; i just realized she sounds like.. like she's got multiple personalities or something. -laughs- she's talking three different conversations at once.

Ria chuckled. "Nope you shouldn't be offended! Considering I'm one of them!" She said grinning. " Too bad I haven't been able to beat Raffi yet..." She mumbled pursing her lips.
Raffi shrugged. "I have too much time on my hands when I don't go to school." He said matter of factly. "Plus you just button mash half the time." He said. The corner of his mouth pulled up into a half smile. He turned back to Cas. "It'd be great to have you in the club!" He said and his half smile pulled up into a large grin. It was always nice to recruit new members.
"Pfft. You'd still beat her anyways. You slaughter everyone in there." She mumbled. Her voice had a hint of annoyance. Ria always hated to losing, especially to Raffi.
