McIntyre Secondary School

[tanglenose]

Bryan Hollins sat in his Science class, pretending to pay attention. He was hiding at the back of the room, trying to make it look like he was taking notes on his laptop, while he was really playing online games. He sighed and looked out the window as a robin flew by. Looking at the sky, he noted that clouds were forming. Good. He liked rain. Bryan turned back to the front of the class, where the teacher was talking about ionic compounds. Who cared. He opened a new game of Minesweeper and started to play, bored out of his mind.

Cloud looked up at the kid next to him. He was playing minesweeper. Cloud was smiling, as always. It didn't mean he was having fun, it was because he thought he'd already had cried too much in his life. One day he'd stop smiling, but this wasn't the time now. He looked out the window. Hooray! Clouds! Maybe after the storm there'd be a rainbow. He blink his multicolored eyes and fingured a strand of pink hair.

<his hair isn't ALL pink, it's multicolored with streaks. his normal hair color (that still shows) is brown XD >

[tanglenose]

Bryan flagged a min when he felt eyes watching him. He looked around and saw the kid next to him had technicolored eyes. 'Whoa... I wonder if they're contacts...' Bryan thought. He coninued to look at the kid until he realized he was staring and the student would notice. Bryan turned away and was about to continue his game when "Mr. Hollins!" came from the front of the classroom. He looked up and saw his science teacher, Mr. Thomas, looking at him. "Can you tell is what the answer is?" Mr. Thomas asked. Bryan quickly scanned the board and knew none of it. Oh well, time to improvise. "Yes sir. Pi equals MC squared, which is relative to the speed of light in the Twilight zone." Bryan said quickly, trying to confuse the teacher. Mr. Thomas opened his mouth to speak, looked at the clock, then decided it wasn't worth it. It was 5 minutes to the end of the school day, and he wasn't going to spend it in detention. Bryan flipped to a document and changed a mini scoreboard that said 'Smart-ass responses:3 Smart responces:0'. Bryan smiled and started to pack up his things.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

Cloud saw the kid staring at him and quickly looked away. 'Class is almost over, hooray!' he thought and his smile grew slightly bigger. There was something about that kid, though. Slightly familiar. He heard Bryan's response and almost laughed. He himself had known the real answer and had been about to tell the kid. He grabbed a couple books from his desk, then stuffed them in his backpack. He then notice the scoreboard, and couldn't stop a small giggle from coming out. "Nice" he said, putting up a hand for a high-five.

<isn't your chara son of iris? then they're half brothers!!! XD yay!>

[tanglenose]

Bryan heard a 'Nice' come from beside him and turned to look. The multicolored student was looking at him smiling and had his hand out for a high five. Bryan smiled back, realizing that his scoreboard had been reveled, and returned the high five. All the other children started to pack their backpacks now, ready for the bell. A quick glance at Mr. Thomas proved that he stopped caring about his job and sat down behind his desk and began to read. Bryan turned back to the kid he high fived. "Hey. I'm Bryan." He said.

{ Really? Thats awesome XD }

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

"My name's Cloud. Don't ask why I'm always smiling though, that's not something I like talking about" said Cloud with his signature-Ima-keep-smilin'-now smile.

< XD >

[tanglenose]

Clouds response made Bryan a little nervous, but put it behind him. "I'm Bryan." He said. He quickly ducked as a paper ball flew over his head. Bryan plucked it out of the air and threw it back in the direction it came. An 'OW!' fro
the other side of the room confirmed that Bryans target had been hit. He smiled and turned back to Cloud. "Um... Sorry for asking, but are those contancts or are they..." Bryan trailed off, distracted by a pencil falling into the floor. His attention snapped back to Cloud. "Sorry, or are they real?" he asked.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

"Yep, they're naturally occuring. Nice throw" said Cloud. "And no, I'm not smiling because I'm up to something devious. I hate school. There's nothing fun that we get to do. What's your favorite subject? Mine's going home."

[Cindey]

Danielle gave a huge sigh as she slipped out of her desk seat. She had been fidgiting in her seat for who knows how long, dreading for the boring, endless class to end. Her shoulder length wavy black hair fell across her face, and only her dark chocolate brown eyes showed. Glancing around, she caught sight of two boys, apparently talking about one of the boy's hair. Danielle couldn't help but stare, as she swung her neon green backpack over one of her shoulders.

[tanglenose]

Bryan thought about his favorite subject. "Probably PE. Only because we get to go to the pool somedays. I love to sw..." Bryan trailed of as a neon flash caught his eye. He looked toward the neon green and saw a girl looking at him. He smiled and waved her over.

[Cindey]

Danielle glanced around herself, trying to see if the boy was waving to someone else. When she saw no one, she slightly blushed and glanced back at Bryan. She mouthed 'me?' and pointed to her chest. 'Since there is nobody else here, clearly he's waving ME over.' Danielle thought. She was still trying to get over the fact that someone wanted to talk to her. Cautiously swinging her neon green backpack over one shoulder, she walked over to them, smiling. She tucked a strand of her shoulder length black hair behind her left ear, the beautiful rosebud tucked behind on her right ear gleaming slightly in the sunlight.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

Cloud smiled. "That's cool" he said to Bryan. Then noticed him waving a girl over. She is HOT he thought. He hid it amazingly well, and no one would notice his grin getting just the TINIEST bit bigger.

[tanglenose]

Bryan smiled nicely as she approched. 'Wow! She's beautiful' he thought. He looked over to Cloud, who was still smiling, then turned back to the black-haired teenager. "Hey, I'm Bryan!" He introduced himself.

[Cindey]

"Danielle. Nice to meet you." She smiled her bright smile at both of them, and extended her left hand slowly to them in greetings. Her dark chocolate brown eyes even seemed to smile as well. Using her right hand, she reached to the flower behind her right ear, that was slightly wilting now. When her finger touched the flower, it just suddenly became all healthy again, like it had been just freshly picked from outside. Danielle, of course, didn't notice this, as her right hand went back to the side of her body. She had just been making sure that it was still there.

(( OOC: Just so you know, her mother is Demeter, Goddess of the earth and the Harvest. She doesn't know that yet, oh, and her power is too turn withered/dead nature to ripen/rejuvenate. Something like that, anyway! ))

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

"I'm Cloud" he said taking her hand and shaking. He took back his hand. He shifted his multicolored backpack. He was wearing blue jeans and a (of course) multicolored tie-dyed shirt.

< that's cool =) >

[Cindey]

Danielle nodded,"You look like a walking rainbow!" She let out a slight giggle, putting her hands to her mouth to keep herself from giggling anymore than she already had,"No offense, because I like rainbows. They're so...natural." Her voice was now all dreamy as she continued to describe about rainbows,"So colorful, and beautiful..." She continued to ramble on, lost in thought.

[tanglenose]

Bryan smiled. He thought Danielles giggle was cute. He was about to comment on it when the final bell rang. "Oops..." Bryan muttered, sliding his last books into his backpack. "Hey, you guys wanna go hangout?" he asked, standing up.

[Cindey]

Danielle nodded, slightly getting a bit hyper, but calmed down after a few seconds,"Sure! Sounds fun! Where should we go?" She glanced at both Brian and Cloud, tilting her head slightly.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

Cloud smile grew larger at the compliment. At the question, he responded, "Sure!" He was still holding a book. Consequently, it was anciant greek. He quickly attempted to stuff it in his bookbag but it fell and strangely opened to the section describing the gods and goddesses. Amazingly it opened to his mother's page. Iris.

<he's determined already>

[Cindey]

"Hey! What's that?" Danielle tilted her head at the book,"Is that...Ancient Greek?" Cautiously, she knelt down in front of the book, and began to read like she had never been diagnosed with dyslexia. It was so much easier for her to read Ancient Greek. "Iris...Goddess of the Rainbow." murmured Danielle quietly.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

"Ummm... yeah." said Cloud glancing at a picture of his mother. He quickly closed the book. "How could you read that?" he asked, wondering if perhaps she was a halfblood.

[tanglenose]

Bryan bent down and picked up the textbook. "Iris." Bryan commented, smiling. "I always liked her. I thought it was sad that Hermes 'stole' her job." Bryan closed the book and handed it back to Cloud. "Theres a good resteraunt down a couple blocks. Shall we go there?" He asked

{Should we move threads?}

[Cindey]

Danielle stood up, and shrugged,"I don't know. I just read it, and understood." It was confusing to her as well. It just seemed...a natural thing for her, to read Ancient Greek. "I could use some food right now." She nodded at the mention of a restaurant.

(( OOC: I guess we should. ))

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

"Hmmm... It's hard for me to read things in English, but ancient Greek is easier to read." he said shrugging. "I have dylexia." He continued to try to see if she had the two signs of a half-blood. "It's also hard because I have AD and can't pay attention long enough. And a restaurant sounds nice, I'm getting a bit hungry," he said finally responding to Bryan.

<yep!!! XD>

[Cindey]

"I'm actually the same, as well. It's hard, because I have to keep up my grade-" She tilted her head, as she stared at a small rock, perched on the window sill, inside the classroom/ After about a minute, she snapped back to reality, and blushed slightly,"As I was saying...." She trailed off, trying to remember what she had been saying, before she got easily distracted by a simple rock.

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

"I get you" said Cloud who's gaze flung out the window the second he heard a big clash of thunder. Then it started pouring. "Good thing I brought my umbrella." he said.

<I make the new thread?>

[Cindey]

(( OOC: Sure, unless Tangle wants too. ))

IC: Danielle stared at what she was wearing. A tank top, with shorts, and a neon green backpack, with a cute flower tucked behind her ear,"I should check the weather more often. I can't go out without an umbrella!"

[⋆ The Mage of Frost]

"Mine should be big enough for all three of us. The thing is HUGE!" he said happily while going out of the room and returning for a HUGE umbrella. "Now come on! We're burnin' daylight!" he said smiling at the movie quote. It was from his favorite movie, The Cowboys.

<It'll be a Chinese restaurant, okay?> XD

[tanglenose]

Bryan had a stunned look on his face. He had been distracted by he rain most of that conversation, but got the just of it. "You too?" He asked. "I thought it was only me!" He ran out of the room with his backpack and eturned without it. "Ok, let's go! Oh, and you two can share the umbrella, I don't need it. I love the rain!" He exclaimed.

{ Gee, you miss a lot during dinner Can you make he thread?}

[Cindey]

Danielle shrugged,"Alright, then! Let's go!" She smiled brightly, and started to slightly skip out of the school.
