Dexter looked back at Claire, "Really?" he asked, a bit surprised.
~*~ Gwen clasped her hands behind her back, "Sure.." She said, crossing her fingers. |
|
|
Claire looked back up at him. "Uhm... yeah... approximately anyways..." She shuffled a bit uncomfortably, and glanced back at the island. As an added note- she still refused to stand. No one would eat her that way, at least.
~ Sable groaned as the boat churned again. How much longer till he was off this blasted boat and away from this psychopath*? "Sable..." He muttered. *Had Claire had been there, her answers would have been: 1. Approximately 46 min. 2. Probably never. |
 |
|
|
Gwen nodded, "Thats a different name, I've ever met anyone with that name before... I might'of read a book, but, I don't remember..." She leaned against the railing, clearly not leaving right away.
~*~ Dexter nodded, he looked back to the water. "So......... ah, the weather is nice here..." he said, trying to start conversation. |
|
|
Sable shruged. "Could have." Ironically, though Sable was not aware of this, his mother had infact named him from a book she once read, which was rare for her... Not to say his mother was stupid, but simply that she didn't often read. Luckily, she had, otherwise Sable's birthname probably would have been something like "Itsuki" or "Calvin".. both of which he would have resented his parents for.
~ Claire smiled and tocked a stray lock of brown hair behind her ear. "Yeah.. it's really pretty..." she said dreamily. "I never get to see water like this back home..." She looked up at Dexter. "Where are you from?" The island was slowly getting closer. |
|
|
|
Dexter smiled, "Chicago..." he said, looking back at Claire, "What about you?"
~*~ Gwen stared back at the ocean, suddenly, she leaned over, only a few centemiters away from Sable now, she had her arm outstreached across the front of him, pointing. Of course, she wouldn't have been this close to Sable, but.. he was in her way of pointing to the island that was rapidly approaching. "Land!" She said. |
|
|
"Adel, GA.. well.. the suburbs area anyways" Claire said, a bit shocked. Chicago was much different from her home town.. or so she'd heard. She had never been there herself.
~ "Oh yeah.. how bout that.." Sable said, still not speaking over a dramatic mutter... I'm not entirely sure how you mutter dramaticaly.. but Sable was apparently doing it. |
|
|
|
Gwen sighed, "Well, you could show a bit more enthusiasm..." She said, She took a step away from him, and crossed her arms, leaning them against the railing.
~*~ "I heard that Atlanta is a really big place.. and that there is always traffic..." Dexter said. |
|
|
"Now's not the time for enthusiasm... and anyways, I though you said you were LEAVING," Sable remembered. He had been looking foreward to that.
~ Claire smiled awkwardly. "Well, don't get me wrong.. even in the suburban areas, it's crowded.. much worse in the city.. I hear Chicago is bumper to bumper constantly," she pointed out. |
|
|
|
Gwen crossed her fingers, holding up her hand where Sable could see. "Had my fingers crossed..." She said, giving a small giggle, "You should have said no crosses count..." Gwen let her hand fall, and she looked at Sable, "Your making a weird face again.." She said.
~*~ Dexter nodded, "Yeah.." He said, "It is pretty crowded up in Chicago.. pretty windy too..." He smiled at Claire. |
|
|
Sable flet like hitting his face into the rail. Why wouldn't she just leave him alone. Finally, he regained his composure and said, "Well, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave you now and retreat to my quarters." If she wasn't going to leave him, he was going to leave her.
~ Claire giggled a bit. "So I hear," she said. She glanced back at the island. Wouldn't be long until they would land there.... She could also see the school looming over it's shores... a "monster" of a building, you could say. You could say.. but someone would probably look at you an say that it wasn't a very good pun. Without looking at Dexter, Claire said, "Oh.. we'll be arriving soon... I guess I should go make sure I have all my bags..." She looked to him and smiled. "Nice meeting you." |
|
|
|
Dexter nodded, "Nice meeting you too.." He said. He looked back at the water, not wanting to leave the boat just yet. He liked it on the ocean.
~*~ "Oh.. i should probably go get all my stuff together too, Since we will be there soon..." Gwen said, without really saying goodbye, Gwen turned and went down to where her room was at on the boat. |
|
|
Claire's smile fell a bit when Dexter just sort of turned away. Had she made THAT little of an impression? "Well.. bye.. I guess.." Claire turned around and made a slow-but-steady progression back to her cabin.
~ Sable sighed with relief. Finally time to go back to his cabin.. After all, there was only so much rocking back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and- Sable felt nauscious. He ran to the bathroom... followed by some very uneasy noises. |
|
|
|
Dexter waved bye to Claire, "See you at the school.." He said to her as she walked away.
After a little while longer of looking at the ocean, Dexter headed back to his room to clean up and put everything away. ~*~ Claire pushed all her cloths back into her bags as the small fleet began getting closer to the island. |
|
|
Claire jolted slightly as the boat docked at the shore. Luckily, the inside of her suitcase cought her fall. After checking a few (dozen) times that she had gotten everything she owned in her bag, she stood and got ready to leave...
Or so she'd thought. She couldn't explain why, but it felt like the bag was 100 lbs heavier then when she first loaded it. I believe they call it the jet lag syndrome. Attempting to drag it, she made her way slowly into the hall, nearly being trampled by the quicker moving, oncoming students. ~ "Ullllgh..." Sable moaned after flushing the toilet. He wiped his face with a rag he found inside the bathroom and rinsed his mouth out with mouthwash only a few (dozen) times... He could still taste the breakfast... which only made things worse. Slowly, he went to his cabin to pack his belongings... his ship would be docking in only a minute or two. |

|
|
Dexter walked out of his room, pulling his suitcase behind him. "Hey Claire.." He said, spotting his new friend as he walked down the halls to get off the ship. "Ah.. you need some help there?" He asked, looking at her.
~*~ Gwen checked her room for any items she might have over looked. She then grabed her suitcase, and put the other bag over her sholder. She headed out, really excited. |
