Strong Hooves 289 May 29, 2012 Share May 29, 2012 Jake looked at the two, "come on you two, no need for bad relations. I'm sure Echo didn't mean it" he said as he sat to where he was between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineGunLola 408 May 29, 2012 Author Share May 29, 2012 Echo usually didn't get angry, but this girl was pushing her buttons. "Look, I said I was sorry, okay? I don't always think before I say things, because I don't go out much. I'm not used to interacting with humans. Besides, being rich is not so great. Not when your parents don't care about you. All they do is hand me money and tell me to go away." She was breathing hard, and she glared right back at Thalia. BANG! BANG! BANG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephala 2,634 May 29, 2012 Share May 29, 2012 Thalia felt her face soften for a moment, then it hardened again. "At least you have parents," she said quietly. "At least you have somewhere to LIVE." Thalia felt her emotions boiling-this wasn't a good sign, "Excuse me," she said angrily, and she stood up and stormed into the bathroom, glancing in the mirror and cursing loudly. Her grey eye was slowly turning red. "Notgoodnotgoodnotgood," she muttered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineGunLola 408 May 29, 2012 Author Share May 29, 2012 Echo dug her nails into her arms, causing blood to slide down them. She hated when people thought her life was great just because she had money. In fact, she'd give up all her money to have a life of happiness. And parents that cared. To her, her parents may as well have been dead. BANG! BANG! BANG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephala 2,634 May 29, 2012 Share May 29, 2012 Thalia walked back into the car, hiding her eyes from view. "Sorry, I get kind of like that sometimes," she muttered, feeling ill at ease. Already the only person who would interact with her hated her. She tried to bring up a different subject. "So uh...we get uniforms, right? Cuz this is all I have..." She pointed to her clothes and flinched, hoping Echo didn't take it as another jab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Hooves 289 May 29, 2012 Share May 29, 2012 Jake listened to the two girls talking, uncomfortabl that he was between them the whole time. Finally it seemed things died down a bit. He coughed a little and said "Um well, I think the letter said they would provide uniforms for those who need help purchasing them". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephala 2,634 May 29, 2012 Share May 29, 2012 (edited) "Oh, all right, cool," said Thalia, making sure her hair hid her now red eye. "I don't know how they found me, to be honest, considering I don't really live in one place. And full scholarship too...it's crazy."

MachineGunLola 408 May 30, 2012 Author Share May 30, 2012 "I didn't apply for it, so it's questionable as to how they found me, as well.. But I'm not complaining. At least I can have a chance to make friends now." Echo smiled. She never stayed angry for long. "And uniforms, I've already bought mine, but they're up at the school. I know that they said they would provide uniforms to any who needed help with that.. I just hope that they aren't uncomfortable. Or made from wool. I'm allergic." Echo took a deep breath. "Sorry, I know I'm talking too much." She smiled shyly. BANG! BANG! BANG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Hooves 289 May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 Jake smiled and decided to make a joke to lighten the mood. "Well you talk too much and I don't talk enough. I guess it evens out then" he said chuckling, putting his hands behind his head as he leaned back and stretched, his long body taking the length of his seat to where his feet dangled over.

MachineGunLola 408 May 30, 2012 Author Share May 30, 2012 Echo looked up from behind her bangs, and blushed. He was cute. She wasn't used to being around boys. So she had no clue what to say, and instead, she pulled a chocolate bar from her purse and chewed on that. BANG! BANG! BANG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachineGunLola 408 May 30, 2012 Author Share May 30, 2012 "Brintonberg." She smiled. "I think it's very beautiful there, but hopefully this school will be prettier." She blushed and picked at the train seat. "W-Where are you from?" BANG! BANG! BANG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Hooves 289 May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 "Small town of LaRue." replied Jake with a smile, "Bit quiet, more of a farming town. Used to work summers with my grandpa on his farm. I'm not sure you've heard of it. Were not even on the map" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineGunLola 408 May 30, 2012 Author Share May 30, 2012 "I have heard of it. My grandpa owns a farm out there. It's lovely.. I always loved going there as a child. But as I got older, mother wouldn't let me go anymore. Said it was unladylike of me.." Echo smiled weakly. "I loved seeing all the animals, and helping Grandpa plant.." She sighed. BANG! BANG! BANG!

Strong Hooves 289 May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 Jake smiled a little and tilted his head slightly to the side as she spoke about her grandfathers farm. "Unladylike?

Mephala 2,634 May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 Thalia watched them talk in silence, deciding not to interrupt them. As per usual she'd just mess things up. She sunk back into her chair and stared out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mephala 2,634 May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 (edited) ''I've lived on the streets since I was seven. Before that, I don't remember,'' she said bluntly. ''Here and there, whever the garbage bins were plentiful.'' She snorted. ''That's why it's so weird that they found me. I'm never in one place too long. Life on the streets is hard, especially since I'm blind in one eye.'' She moved her bangs to point to it-blindness seemed like the best excuse for a white eye-and then remembered her other eye was red and inwardly cursed herself.

Strong Hooves 289 May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 Jake gave a slow nod. "I'm... I'm sorry to hear that Thalia. I hope things get better for you" he said solemnly. He noticed her red eye but didn't say anything about it, thinking it might insult her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephala 2,634 May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 ''Doubtful,'' she said loftily. ''But I appreciate it.'' She felt relieved, glad that he hadn't mentioned her eye. ''So what have you heard about this place?'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Hooves 289 May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 Jake shrugged, "Only that it's a 'special' school for 'special' people. I'm not sure to take that as a compliment or an insult" he said with a chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephala 2,634 May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 Thalia's heart quickened. She was more "special" than people realized-if her emotions got out of check then she was in BIG trouble. "So...what are you good at?" she choked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Hooves 289 May 30, 2012 Share May 30, 2012 "Meh... basketball, track, mainly sports. That's why I'm so stumped as to why I was sent here. The letter said I was capable of things beyond imagination, but I just don't know what." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
