                                                    The clock ticked by as the young male laid in his bed fast asleep. Morning wasn't his specialty. And, he did it pretty crappily if I do say so myself. As the hours ticked by, so did his dreams. The young male usually did have pretty vivid dreams. They were often unique and crazy. Just like this one was proving to be. A very loud and quite obnoxious noise sounded from his phone somewhere throughout the room announcing that he should wake up. He cursed under his breath before rolling over, right into the wall. A small moan escaped the boys lips as his eyes fluttered open. Looking around his rather small and very cluttered bedroom, he swung his legs over his small bed and walked out of his room and into the living area.

                                                    Scott lived in a very small, and very crammed two bedroom apartment with his mother. The kitchen was child sized, the living room couldn't fit a couch, and the bedrooms were so piled high with all of their belongings that they couldn't really do much. Scott saw his mother on the old rocking chair that was pushed into the corner. "Oh, good morning sweetie. I made breakfast. What time do you have to leave today?" the young mother asked. Scott was too tired to decide. But, he did the best he could do at thinking before looking over at his mom. "Uhh, well. I was thinking probably eight or so." Scott said with a smile. He ate his breakfast with very few words before jumping in the shower.

                                                    Once Scott was squeeky clean, he quickly blow dried his hair and slipped on a beenie. He got into some clothes that he thought looked pretty nice and made his way into the living room by seven thirty. All of his belongings were packed. A large suit case with clothes and a large suit case filled with books was all the young male seemed to need. After putting the two suit cases in his car, he went back inside to say goodbye to his mom and grab his medium sized, black duffel bag filled with necessities. "So, I guess this is goodbye for now" he said aloud to his mom. "Oh baby. Take care of yourself. Do good in school. And give me a call sometime. I love you so much." She offered him a sad smile before giving her loving son a hug. Scott hugged his mother back tightly before heading out the door and making his way towards his new home, at least the one he would be living at for the next nine or so months. With the windows down and the music blasting, Scott felt free. He felt alive and well. Like he could do anything.

                                                    Pulling into the campus, Scott turned the music down a bit and pulled into a parking space. The young male grabbed his three bags and headed off towards his new home. Scott didn't really mind staying in dorms. After rolling up the windows on his jeep and grabbing his keys, he locked up the vehicle before heading off to the dorms. His room was on the third floor. Leaving one of the suit cases on the first floor, the young male began to drag his belongings up the stairs rather quickly. He unlocked his dorm room and shuffled inside. It was a medium sized bedroom. Rather large compared to his bedroom at home. The young male smiled as he picked the bed on the right. Placing his things on the bed, Scotty then went back down the two flights of stairs to grab his last suit case.

                                                    Once everything of his was brought up to his room, he began to unpack. There was two beds, two dressers, two dests, and one closet placed throughout the room. He tossed all of his clothes in the dresser by his bed and slid the empty suit case under his bed. The closet went unused. The other suit case, filled with books, was kept on his bed. He really would like to get a book case, but that may be too much. Book after book then began piling up on his desk. He looked around, the room was bare. He didn't have much to put on the walls. He pulled out his bedding and made his bed semi quickly. his pillows were placed at the top of the bed. He looked down at the wrinkled black bedding.

                                                    Scott gave a weak sigh before plopping down on the bed and picking up one of his books. Scott began thinking about how this year is going to go. Who his roommate would be and if they would get along. Grabbing his phone and some ear buds, the young man began listening to music. He wondered when his roommate would show up. He smiled down at the book before cracking it open and beginning to escape from his own reality. That was one of his favorite things about reading. Escaping reality. Joining the made up reality through endless pages of creativity. His mind began drifting away as he turned another page.

                              Robbin Anderson
                              The Dancer



                                                        The music radiated off of the violin in the young girls hands as she stood in her big bedroom on the light hard wood floor. Socks made it easier to glide across the hardwood floor. A big smile was on her face as she began to dance around the room, playing her precious violin. A knock on the floor distracted her, making her bring down her violin and look over at the opening door before her. "Oh hi daddy" the young girl smiled. "Hey there princess. So, I could hear you from the hallway. It sounds beautiful" her father said as he took a seat on the bed. She smiled and looked over to her violin. "Yeah. I've been freestyling with my dance lately" she smiled up to her father. "You're pretty talented. Just like your mother was." her father said with a sad smile. Robbins smile drifted away as she looked at the picture of her mother from before she was in the car accident.

                                                        Her father stood up, snapping her attention away. "Well, goodnight sweetheart" he smiled and gave her a kiss on the forhead. "Night daddy. Love you" she said with a smile before watching her father disappear. Turning on the radio, the young girl began dancing around the room as she did simple little things like tidying up. She pulled out her outfit for the first day of school which began tomorrow. Her clothes were set out and she let out a sigh. She didn't care for school too much. But, it was her last year. She didn't mind too much. She got into some pajamas. A t-shirt and some shorts. It was time to tell the twins goodnight as well. Her nightly routine. She left her bedroom and walked down the hall. Before stepping in, she knocked lightly on the door. "Hey guys. You in bed?" she asked as she opened the door wide. Which, they were not. After putting them to bed, and fighting with Richie, she finally got to say her goodnights. "Okay, guys. Tomorrow is a new day! You guys are starting the second grade, you're gonna see all your friends. It's gonna be great." she said sweetly before giving each a kiss on the forhead. "Goodnight Robby. I love you" Richie's small voice called out. Rachael, however, was already fast asleep by the time Robbin left. She crawled into bed, turned on some music and shut off the light as she laid there for what seemed like hours. She thought about things. Her mom, life, silly little things that would probably never happen. She quickly began nodding off to sleep.

                                                        Tick Tock Tick Tock....


                                                        "Get up Sweetheart" her father called from the doorway. She streched in her bed and rolled over. She gave a small moan and sighed before sitting up. The pitter patter of little feet ran down the hallway. "Robby! Wake up!" the young girls sister called out to her. "Okay, okay. I'm awake." she sighed and yawned once before getting out of bed. The smell of pancakes radiated from the kitchen as the young girl lazily sat on the kitchen. The fourth member of their party. Having two younger siblings and only father was sometimes difficult. The young girl was given a plate with a few pancakes. She ate a little of her food before getting up and putting her plate in the sink. "Thank you daddy for the breakfast. I gotta go get ready for school" she said with a small smile before running upstairs to get ready.

                                                        The young girl turned on some music before showering. It didn't really take her all that long to get ready. Maybe just dry her hair and slap on some makeup. But, she was usually very quick to get ready. Jumping in the shower woke her up a little bit. She got out and quickly dressed into her uniform. She didn't really care for the uniform, but she had to wear it. So, what could she say? After finishing up her hair, she began on her makeup. After sending the text, Robbin finished on her makeup and grabbed her things. She also picked up her violin before heading downstairs.

                                                        The twins were playing in the living room and her father was no where to be found. "Dad? I'm leaving now! the young brunette called out to her father. The twins were as hyper as ever. "Robby!" her little sister called out before running over and slamming into her. "Rachael. Be carful!" she laughed before giving the little sister hug. It was hard to believe the twins were only eight years old. Nine years younger than her. She practically was a mother to them. With a sigh, her father came rushing down the stairs. "I'm gonna get going now. My things are all packed in the car" Robbin smiled over to her father. "Oh I'm going to miss you Punken. Text me when you get there." her father said before kissing her forhead. Robbin grabbed her keys before heading out the door. Her car sat in the driveway. A silver 2007 mitsubishi lancer. It was a great car. And very reliable.

                                                        She arrived at the school a little while later. She pulled in and took a spot in the parking lot before turning off the car. She pulled out her phone and sighed before getting out of the car and grabbing all her things. She headed for the dorms. She thankfully had the first floor. After piling all of her things into her room, she pulled out her phone and sent her father a text.

                                                        __________________________________

                                                        sending....______________message sent

                                                        Once the text was sent, she began unpacking all of her things slowly and waited for her roommate to show up. She was rather nervous.

            Blaire Marie Goldberg

            The It Girl

            Location;; Her Dormxxxx Company;; None xxxxx Clothes;; Link


                                                              Being popular was a lot more work than people realized. Blaire fixed up her hair, slipping the comb right into it. She picked out her clothes the night before and woke up early to work with her hair. It was a normal thing for her. She had to look good today, if not any other day of the year. After all, today was arrival day. She had to show the freshmen where they stood in the hierarchy. An obnoxious group of freshmen is the last thing she wanted to deal with this year. Blaire would also be meeting her roommate and from there, figuring out the closet situation. She had many skirts, shirts, shoes, and dresses, and could only hope her roommate wasn't going to need all of the space. She had packed some of her things; she could always make trips to her house in case she was able to bring more. The wonders of driving, eh? The Goldberg Manor seemed less lively ever since her brother, Jason, had to return to college from his break. It was just Blaire, her 8th grade sister, Olivia, and their parents. And now she was leaving Olivia to herself again. Blaire gave her family a hug and went on her way. Not like she couldn't stop by, especially since she had her own car. The brunette drove off to Storybrooke.

                                                              Blaire took her time getting to Storybrooke. It was a Saturday after all. The only reason that arrival day was so early was to get the freshmen oriented and somewhat able to get around on their own, or so the popular girl assumed. For her, it was hanging out with friends and perhaps one last party before everyone was back to learning and boredom. Why did summer have to end so soon? Time seemed to fly by faster and faster as she got older. Before long, she'd be off to college studying what intrigues her. Before long, she'd be leaving her friends behind. Blaire sighed as she eased herself into the parking lot. Brushing those thoughts aside, she smiled at the distant sight of some old friends. Already, she was getting attention. People smiled and waved to her as she turned her car off, some complimenting her outfit, others asking for opinions on their own. Some of these people, Blaire hadn't an idea of their name. Others, she had sat around with a lunch or had some classes with before. Nevertheless, she greeted them with smiles as she walked into the school, bags in hand. She wanted to greet her good friends, but after she settled herself into her dorm.

                                                              Apparently she was on the 3rd floor. Blaire looked to her bags with a sigh. Carrying all these up to her room herself wasn't too ideal. She walked outside, finding a guy outside. He looked a bit short, maybe one of those freshman she had mentally complained about earlier? Either way, he was more than happy to carry the bags up for her. Dolling up a bit and being in the in-crowd had quite a few perks, didn't it? Blaire didn't have to lift a finger, simply walking herself upstairs and thanking him for helping out. Apparently he was a freshman. At least now he knew where the dorm building was; it constituted as a fair trade then, now didn't it? Blaire walked into her new room for the year, finding it void of a roommate for the time being. She plugged in her laptop and played some of her favorite songs. to brighten up the mood of the otherwise dull room. From there, she opened the window, then began filling the closet with her clothes and shoes. The dorm rooms were smaller than her own room at home, but she had to live in them, despite being but a short drive away from campus. She had dealt with the smaller and shared closet space, but it didn't mean she liked it. Her only hope was her roommate not needing all the room, which was the case sometimes. Laying out on her bed, Blaire shot a text to her friend. Maybe she was on the same floor. Or, if lucky, maybe she was her roommate.

                                                              To: Sera
                                                              MSG: Hey boo, where's your dorm? 3rd floor, by any chance? (:

                                          ɗ erdrick ɱ ilan ɗ ilicci

                                                    β adass

                                                                  Moving in sucked. He had a large dufflel bag stuffed full of clothes strewn over his shoulder even though his mother told him to fold them. He had been putting the entire packing thing off for weeks, instead just hanging out with his friends and being miscreants. He had a few smaller bags by his feet full of other random things that were necessities. Basic toothbrush and toothpaste, some deodorant, an assortment of other things. A suitcase full of sheets and pillows and those sorts of things as well. Derdrick wasn't one to bring accessories; no posters, or paintings. There weren't even DVD's or CD's. No need for that when he wasn't going to be spending time in his room.

                                                                  Der didn't want to be here; school was stupid. He never got it into and and frankly, the teachers didn't like him. He was shoved into a box early on for being a trouble maker which turned into a badass. Since it wasn't like he could go through a wash and come out squeaky clean, he stayed in the role of badass; only exuding it more. It was his final year though and he was just going to trudge through it. If it made the teachers feel any better, Derdrick probably won't be in class most of the time.

                                                                  The senior refused help from his parents when it came to moving in. He would just carry everything up the flights of stairs to his assigned room alone. There was no reason to inconvenience his parents when he did that on a daily basis as a younger teen. Now all he had to do was carry all his luggage. He had no idea how he was going to do it. Holding all the bags wouldn't be that hard but going up stairs would be the challenge. A fellow student had approached Der, asking if he needed help. That was a bad idea because the male just glared at the would be helper. Instead of answering with words though, the senior just dropped his large bag onto the ground with a thud. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled a cigarette out of his pack and lit it, letting the stick dangle on his lips.

                                                                  It wasn't but a second after the light smoke blew out of his nostrils like a dragon, eyes burning with fire did the fellow student back away and scamper off like a scared bunny in the forest. Raising his foot, he snuffed the half finished cigarette into the bottom of his shoe before tossing into the grass. He knew it wouldn't be long before more joined it's place. Thinking wasn't really his strong suit and as he lifted the largest bag back up, he began to grab a few more. Der should have forced the other guy to carry his bags, used his scary side. That would mean socializing with someone he frankly didn't want to which meant an automatic 'not gonna happen' on Derdrick's end.

                                                                  He had no idea who he was bunking with but seeing as how there were only about five people he liked, it had to be someone he despised. Der hoped, yes actually hoped, that whoever it was was someone quiet, and didn't stand up to Der at all. If they were a deaf mute who spent all the time in class that would be perfect. First though, Derdrick needed to reach his room and claim what space was his and a little extra. Arriving first, he chose the bed that better suited him. There was a dresser, a closet, and a desk which he wouldn't use.

                                                                  Unzipping the bag with all his sheets and a pillow, Der went to making his bed. They were just basic grey sheets and he had a duvet stuffed in another bag which he just tossed onto the bed without pressing out the creases. Opening up his nightstand, Derdrick emptied his pockets into the top drawer before opening the window and lighting another cigarette. Even if his roommate was appalled by the smoking, it wouldn't make him light up any less. Next came his clothes; which he literally just chucked into the drawers, cramming them as much as possible. His mother had somehow snuck hangers into a bag and he used them to hang up his coats and jackets in his tiny closet on his side of the room. Once most of it was unpacked, which really didn't take that long, he just pushed his bags under the bed before sitting at the windowsill and throwing a leg out the window to blow his smoke.

XXXXXXxFor every dark night,
XXXXxxxxxxxThere's a brighter day.X

                                            xxxThe sun shined brightly in the room where the young male laid upon a couch. His head was tucked away beneath the blanket, not wanting to get up for his shift at the local coffee place. But Ash soon gave in to the sun’s rays, his head peeking out of the blanket, squinting out the window. Moans and groans came from the male as he began to sit up. “What time is it? It’s definitely not the morning.” He soon stood up and looked at the clock, now shocked by the time. He didn’t even have time to comment to himself, for in fact he was late for work. He went into his small dorm room, where he grabbed any clothes in plain sight. Within 5 minutes he was dressed, giving him only 2 minutes to brush his hair and teeth, and forcing him to leave immediately to work (maybe even having to speed).
                                            xxxAfter he quickly dressed himself and did the necessary hygiene activities (brushing teeth, deodorant, ect), he quickly made his way to his car which was parked in the parking lot outside. By speed walking, he made it to his car giving him enough time to get to work which was about 5 minutes (at the most). Ash now was seated in his car, where he turned the key and began reversing, pulling out of the parking lot quickly.

                                            5 minute time skipxx

                                            xxxAsh made it to work right on time. He got out of his car, making his way into the rock and roll theme coffee shop, where his boss waited for him. “You made it just in time,” the boss began, “I need you to start getting prepped for any food orders, and cleaning the coffee machines. You get the drill.” Ash nodded, not even questioning this boss about his coworker (who was practically doing nothing). He went straight to work, cleaning the table tops and counter taps, not counting the coffee machine. He made sure the small, hidden kitchen was perfectly clean and ready for service. After all this, an instant crash of fatigue hit the male. He sat himself at a table where weird, mixed feelings came on. Boredom and sleepiness. Now he sat and relaxed as his coworker took orders. The humming of music filled the empty Coffee place as well as Ash’s thoughts. These thoughts being spilled upon his sketching paper; his fingertips covered with charcoal from shading the artwork. A sigh released from his lips as he looked up at the empty tables. “There should be a lunch crowd,” Ash said towards his coworker. His eyes soon looking back at his sketch, smirked slightly, and then closed his sketch book placing it in his bag. The male soon found himself standing back up and retying his apron around his hips. He made his way back behind the counter, looking for work that might need to be done.
                                            xxxThe walls were decorated with odd paintings, some by Ash and others from other locals. The environment gave you the rock and roll feel, especially with the electric guitars displayed on the walls. Many of the guitars were painted by local starving artists, which were displayed recently at last night’s gallery. A crowd began coming in, forcing Ash to put on his “happy” face. “Welcome ladies,” “What am I making for you guys today?” Not soon after, they began ordering, leading to Ash typing on the cash register. Once the price was accessed, he began making all five orders by his lonesome. The order mainly consisted of frappuccinos, which really wasn’t a surprise. No one seems to respect the darker coffees much anymore. In about 10 minutes, all the orders were done and were sent to their table. A fake smile once again formed, and soon after leaving faded away. The only thing he liked about this job was the open mic nights and the art galleries (which would not be around without him in the first place).
                                            xxxAfter the large order, Ash tapped his fellow coworker on the shoulder. “Mind if you hold up fort, while I smoke a cigarette outback?” His coworker nodded, responding with a ‘you owe me one’. With this, Ash made his way out back, the breeze automatically hitting his face. He pulled out his cigarette box from his flannel’s front pocket, pulling out a cigarette. With this, he also pulled out his lighter, hugging the cigarette between his lips as he lit it. He inhaled, admiring the beautiful Autumn day, soon exhaling.

She got up early to find a place on campus where she had some silence and relaxation. Since then, she’s been enjoying her new book The Light Between Oceans, which she got from the school’s library. It was recommended to Halina by the school’s librarian saying ‘it was an incredible moving novel about what happens when good people make bad decisions’. Ever since then, Halina has not been able to put the book down. Glancing up from the book, the female admired the scenery. The tree above her swayed from the wind, but it almost appears like its colored leaves were dancing (or maybe just saying hello to the female). Halina smiled slightly at the tree above, and then once again looked forward as a shrieking sound rung in her ears. It appeared to be someone pulling out of the parking lot in a hurry, almost completely ruining the relaxation and captivating environment. But the campus’s environment was too enchanting to be ruined by that noise, as well as Halina’s book.
                                            xxxHalina marked her current place in her book, enclosing the book and placing it back in her bag. The female than took out her lip butter, applying it with the help of small mirror. Then once again, that also was placed safely back into the bag. Crossing her legs, Halina sat back and watched the clouds float by. Happiness soon faded as Halina’s thoughts began to set. Will I ever find someone? All this female wanted as simplistic romance, nothing special. She didn’t want a sparkly vampire or a shirtless werewolf. She just wants company; company that talk to her about things other than education. Yes, she’s a smart, educated woman, but it doesn’t mean she wants to talk about AP classes and books all the time.
                                            xxxA sigh soon was released, Halina’s true loneliness kicking in. Again the thought sinking in, will I ever find someone? This was truly Halina’s fear, never finding a partner in life. The humorous thing though is she’s only seventeen; a seventeen year old who’s thinking about dieing alone. It would be slightly amusing, if anyone knew. Another sigh, “Why can’t I just be happy?” The female then placed her attention back on the tree, it still waving and dancing from the wind. It was similar to the young female’s hair, which was slightly restricted in a sloppy bun. Halina rested her eyes for a moment, the breeze brushing against her face. She wanted the relaxation back.

                                            10 minute time skipxx

                                            xxxHalina grabbed her purse, making her way to the library. Her stomach growled from the lack of food, because the last time she ate was last night (around dinner time). Maybe she would find one of her fellow “nerd” friends at the library, someone who’d like to go out for lunch. But then again, maybe not. Halina might just explore the land of books; maybe study a literature book for an hour or so.
                                            xxxOnce the female made it to the library, she began walking down (almost every row), looking at all sorts of books. She’d take one out, look at the cover (and maybe the front page), then put it back. Taking her time with each one, maybe making a ‘hmm’ sound at one book, then the next might be an ‘ahh’. One book after another, making her way slowly down each walkway of books, as she waited (and hoped) for someone familiar to walk into the library.
                                            xxxThe librarian recognized the young female, now making a conversation. The librarian talked about her recent vacation to Canada; the female nodding, looking up at the librarian now and again as she looked through the books. “I’m glad you had fun,” Halina said with a smile, “How’s your weekend going?” Another book after another, nothing seeming to trigger the young female’s interest, while the librarian talked about her weekend. The librarian complaining about how her husband never doing anything, always watching TV, ‘yada yada yada’…

tashington r o s e austerexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
the invisible o u t f i txxx

there's no such thing as g o o d enough,
for a r c t i c eyes and hard earned rust.



                                            Tashington perched on the corner of her bed, staring vacantly out the open window. In the darkness of her room, she could hear the shouting and screaming from downstairs. Mom and Dad were at it again. Hugging her legs into her chest, Tash rested her chin atop her knees as the cool air rushed in and left cool kisses upon her rosy cheeks. Crash! There goes another one of their nice dishes. Mom always liked to break the nice ones. Tash didn't care to find out what they were fighting about this time. Last time she went downstairs in an attempt to stop the fight, she received a black eye. In this broken household, lessons are learned quickly; bruises don't cause wincing, tears quickly stop falling, blood no longer causes fainting. It's an everyday thing; it's what she grew up with, so it's what she knows best. Thunk! Crash! Is that not.. normal?

                                            Instead of stepping into the middle of a battlefield, she grabbed her school bag and suitcase and began shoving the essentials in: a few outfits, toiletries, makeup, etc. Today was the day that Tash had been both looking forward to and dreading at the same time, for a myriad of reasons. Getting away from her parents is going to be grea- no, amazing. But it is going to be extremely difficult for her to live with a random stranger in an unfamiliar place. Just thinking about it made Tashington almost sick to her stomach. Didn't quite know how she was going to be able to stand it without running back home to Mom and Dad. Thud, thud, thud! Tash winced. The footsteps and shouting were getting closer, coming up the stairs toward her room in fact. "Tashington Rose!" The girl trembled as she continued to pack her things. The door flung open and slammed into the wall as her father flung the light switch up. Tash jumped at the noise, and her father chuckled deeply at her reaction. "Tashington, did you hear me?" What kind of question was that? Gulp. She tried not to whimper as she answered, "Y-yes, father?" His voice lowered volume slightly as he sneered, "Have you finished packing? I'm ready to get your ungrateful a** out of our house." His fat fingers shoved the closet door open, revealing a half-full closet. He grunted in disgust and he glanced over toward her overstuffed backpack.

                                            "I'm almost f-f-finished packing what can fit in my bag. I promise I'll- I'll be back by the end of the week.. to take the rest with me, Father." The girl's father stood there and watched as she finished packing up what she could fit between the school bag and small suitcase. She didn't have much as far as trinkets to take with her. She simply had a small closet of clothes, a few pairs of shoes, some jewelry, her laptop, and a few books. Mom and Dad didn't like to spoil their failure of a daughter, unlike her older sister. The only thing they ever got for Tash was piano lessons, and that was because her sister, Xena, insisted that Tash deserved them more than she did. Xena was a very successful young woman and was spoiled rotten as a child; however, even though she no longer lived with the family, she made sure to take care of Tash the best she could from a distance. Almost everything Tash owned was from Xena, and Xena still sent her younger sister a monthly check because she knew how difficult it was for her to get a job.

                                            The thin girl flung the heavy sack over her shoulder and heaved a sigh, then turned to her father. "Finished." The thick man turned and stomped off down the hallway. "Good." She scampered off after him, following him down the stairs and into the kitchen. Mother was making pancakes and coffee. She refused to make eye contact with her daughter, and stepped over shards of broken plate as she maneuvered around the kitchen. "Well..... I will, uh, be back in a few d-days, to get my other stuff.." She didn't receive anymore than a grumble in reply. She stared at her feet, feeling her stomach grumble as the smell of pancakes and fresh black coffee filled her senses. "Would it be okay.. if I took some f-for the road?" she asked as she grabbed at a paper coffee cup. She didn't receive a reply again, so she timidly began pouring herself coffee, eyeing her silent parents carefully. As she was placing the lid atop her cup, her father reached out and shoved her hard, causing the scalding hot coffee to pour all over her fragile hand as she slammed her back into the kitchen island. No wincing, no crying out in pain, no tears. This wasn't the first time this scene has happened. "Just get the ******** out of my house, you ungrateful rat." Tash gathered her things and shuffled out of the house, then sprinted off down the street. The girl was never given a car, so it was a ten mile walk to the dorms. She winced as the pain finally set in; her shirt was ripped above the elbow and her arm was bleeding slightly. A large bruise was bound to form on her lower back, and her hand was already starting to blister from the coffee.

                                            Tash's eyes followed the cracks in the sidewalk as she slowed to a walk. At about the halfway mark, she came across a rock 'n roll themed coffee house and scampered behind the building. Dropping her things, she scoured through the contents of her pack for - aha! Her cigarettes! Shoving one between her lips, she hastily lit up the cigarette and inhaled deeply. This was bound to calm her down, as long as she was alone with her beloved vice. Then, she heard a door open and close behind her. She froze in her place. Maybe they wouldn't see her if she didn't move... that usually worked pretty well...



                                            l o c a t i o n //: parent's house, behind a coffeehouse
                                            c o m p a n y //: Father, alone..?

            The Genius

            Location;; His Dormxxxx Company;; Der xxxxx Thoughts;; Who is he?


                                                              When summer break had started, it didn't mean that learning had ended for Jerry. For him, learning new things and expanding upon what he already knew was a passion of his, something that went farther beyond a letter grade to him. It didn't mean that he enjoyed school, however. With homework and tutoring people, there was less time for independent studies. School was just the reiteration of things he knew previously. The summer gave him opportunity to learn about things he was interested in. Thankfully this year, he was able to get permission to do some independent study. Just for language though, which greatly interested the junior. He had been working on Japanese recently through books and through the internet, talking to others and getting advice in continuing forward. This year, Jerry hoped to find out what he wanted to do in life. It was odd that he had no idea what he wanted to do with himself after high school. He pushed the thought aside, for the time being. He knew that as much as he wanted to put it off for now, he couldn't keep doing that forever. For now, he had to be back at school.

                                                              Jerry couldn't yet drive. Despite being in the 11th grade, he was only 16 due to having skipped a grade previously. It was yet another point for which others teased him, but he had gotten used to it all by now. He instead got a ride from his older sister, Penny, who went to college nearby. She parked at the front of the school, letting Jerry go to take his things inside on his own. His cello had to be put into the music room before he could unpack his things. Carefully holding onto his bags, he managed to get the cello there without much of an issue. Jerry wasn't all to popular. Nobody waved to him. Nobody said hi or asked about the summer. He was a nerd. Unknown and unpopular, which was how he preferred it. It allowed for him to get more done, he felt. Plus, popularity in high school wasn't something that would matter in college or in trying to find a job. If you could be happy by yourself, then you could be happy anywhere in the world. It shouldn't rely on how many people call you their friend.

                                                              He made his way across campus and dragged his bag up to the fourth floor of the residential building. Jerry could only imagine who his roommate would be. He hoped for one of his friends, someone he could get along with. He walked up to the fourth floor, a tad winded from carrying a heavy bag up all that way. Unlocking the door, Jerry walked into his room and found what would apparently be his roommate for the year. He didn't recognize the guy smoking by the window, but he looked tough. "Uh, hi." Jerry sat his bag down on the empty bed, moving towards the window. The smell of smoke was creeping around the room; he couldn't help but hope his things wouldn't smell of it. He knew his lungs wouldn't be able to handle it very well after a while, assuming this was a daily thing. He kept a bit of distance between him and his roommate; they were strangers after all. "I'm Jerry. I'll be your roommate." He smiled a bit. This guy probably wasn't all too bad. Judging appearances could only lead to misconceptions. Taking in the surroundings, this guy didn't seem to have unpacked all too much. Either that, or he didn't have much to unpack. Aside from the bed sheets, anyone could've assumed that he had yet to arrive. It was odd, as he assumed most people enjoyed making the space their own. Jerry didn't think on it too much. It was all so trivial. His attention went back to his mysterious roommate.

                                          ɗ erdrick ɱ ilan ɗ ilicci

                                                    β adass

                                                                  Sitting at the window allowed Der to do multiple things. One, get a nice breeze while smoking that tasty cigarette, two Derdrick could try and pinpoint who he was rooming with. There were the the fatties who Der hoped were his roommates. Reason why, they couldn't make it up the stairs and Derdrick would live alone. Some students had large art supplies which the guy would set ablaze if they were placed in his room. Instruments would be thrown out the window if they even made a sound. Derdrick would make his roommates life a living hell if they made a peep.

                                                                  He would have never guessed his roommate was a lanky, brunette who, frankly, Der wanted to break the moment he saw him. The male even had the audacity to speak; it was an introduction but still. The badass just rolled his eyes as he blew smoke out the window, finishing off the last of the cigarette with a long drag knowing he would need another within minutes because of Jerry. As far as Der was concerned, Jerry wouldn't be his roommate for long. "Derdrick." Pressing the cigarette against the side of the building before letting it drop to the ground before. It kind of set the mood for everything else because if Jerry pissed him off, he would get learn how fast he could be thrown out of the window.

                                                                  Crawling back into the the dorm, he let the window stay open though only because the August air was nice. Since he knew who his roommate was now, there had to be some ground rules set and Der had the plan to just drop them like a block of concrete. "s**t goes in the garbage. My hobbies include throwing s**t away, especially out of fourth story windows. And setting s**t on fire." It was a cold response but Der thought it would get his point across. If Jerry, that name was seriously starting to bug him, liked his crap he better keep it out of Derdrick's line of sight. If the senior finally cracked, maybe Jerry would be the one set on fire.

                                                                  Pulling out a cigarette, he set it behind his ear for future use. It was also a subtle signal to Jerry that smoking was going to be a reoccurring thing. Smoking wasn't optional, it was the only option. If Jerry hated it that much he could go bunk with one of his friends and sleep on the floor. Collapsing onto his bed, he wasn't going to leave and wander the grounds of the school like all the freshman would. If what's-his-face wanted to leave, that would only make this entire moving in thing better.

                                                                  DJ Double B

                                        For the third time that morning, Danny's alarm went off. It was official. Time to stop hitting the snooze. A fist came down on top of the little black box and the noise ceased. The girl sat up, her teal hair a tangled mess. If briefly occurred to her that this would be the last time for a while that she woke up in her bedroom at home. Danielle stared at the empty room around her, still surprised she had managed to shove everything she owned into her bags. Every year it was accomplished and every year she was shocked. Her walls were usually plastered with posters and photos but this morning her room was bare. Every poster she owned was shoved in her bags to take to school. Hopefully her new roommate would be a Rush fan. Danny knew nothing of the girl she would be living with for the next school year. It was exciting to meet someone new but random roommates could be dangerous. What if she got some crazy psychopath who only talked about celebrities? There was no switching rooms so she would be out of luck. Danny wanted Robbin to be her roommate but that was a long shot. The chances of her rooming with her best friend were pretty slim. Maybe they would at least be on the same floor.

                                        After taming her hair and throwing on her clothes, Danny proceeded down stairs. Her eleven year-old brother sat at the kitchen table eating cereal. Walking past him, she lightly shoved his head and grabbed her own bowl. "You're getting rid of me again Stevie." Her brother let out a sarcastic sigh of relief. "It's about time." Danny's response was another shove. She would never admit it but she was going to miss him. He was starting Middle School next week. Soon enough he would be in her shoes. When did they get so old? Steven lifted his bowl and loudly slurped his milk as their parents walked in "Ready for today Danielle?" Danny grimaced at her given name. Her brother smirked, "Yeah, ready Danielle?" He drew out her name in a mocking tone. Danny raised a warning eyebrow at him before answering her mother. "Just gotta grab my stuff." Her family helped her load her belongings into her green truck and watched her drive away. Danny rolled the windows down and blared Radio Head the whole way to school.

                                        --Time Skip--

                                        Soon enough Danny's truck was pulling into the school parking lot. Thank God it was Saturday. School was lurking around the corner but she was excited to be back. She was going to get to hang out with her friends again. A new school year also meant a new show schedule. Danny was dying to know what the shows would be this year. Their titles would be revealed on Monday with auditions Friday. Over the summer she had been involved in her communities production of A Mid Summer Night's Dream. It was a wonderful experience but she was tired of Shakespeare. Besides, that had been almost a month ago. Every year, the gap between the summer show and the beginning of the school year was the longest she would go without being in a production. She craved stage time. The minute she found out what the shows were going to be she would research everything she could. Cold reads could not be practiced but her monologue had to be perfect. She was a Junior this year, an upperclassman. She would finally be able to score the lead role in a school production. It would be a dream come true.

                                        Danielle slung her bags over her shoulder and hobbled to the elevator. She was on the third floor this year. Not as bad as the fifth floor last year. She passed each room slowly before finally finding her destination. With too many bags in her arms, Danny lightly kicked the half shut door open. To her surprise, her roommate was already there, music turned up and shoving shoes in their closet. Danny dropped her bags on the empty bed and smiled. Her roommate seemed pretty normal thus far. The music was not her favorite but at least it wasn't country. "What's up?" she asked her apparent roommate, pulling out her phone. "I guess we're roommates. I'm Danny." She typed as she talked, sending a message to Robin.

                                                  tab Caressing a cross that hung from the neck of a very anxious girl, she sighed as she thought about the day. Her alarm ringing in the background for the past ten minutes, she ignored it as she was too busy thinking in bed. That was until a member of her family knocked on her door and told her she needed to eat breakfast. "I'll be right out father!" She yelled out from across her room. With one more sigh, the blonde Asian shot her legs up and down to force herself out of bed. Landing on her feet, she walked to the closest mirror and fluffed her hair and changed out of her pajamas, then fluffed her hair once more before heading out of her room into the kitchen.

                                                  tab "Going to dress like a man again this year I see, dear." Her mom spoke as she saw her daughter from the corner of her eye. With a giggle and a nod of her blonde head, she answered with a yes before sitting down and ate her breakfast. "I have all my stuff ready to go and in the car, whenever you are ready to take me father I am good to go." She stated, then was notified she was going to be taken after breakfast.

                                                  tab Now sitting in the car, she awaited for her father. Looking out the window, watching a squirrel run up a nearby tree, she sighed once more. "It's hot." She said to herself right before her father opened the driver's car door and hopped in. "What was that?" He asked as he didn't hear her. "It was nothing important father." She gave a smile and motioned for him to start the car.

                                                  tab With the slam of car doors and a stretch of relief, Bo was standing in the parking lot of her school beside her dads red truck. "New day, new room mate, new year." She spoke before walking to the back of the truck and grabbing her stuff. Hugging her father, he kissed her on the forehead before taking off. Looking in front of her, she already had some acquaintances notice her arrival as they waved in her direction. 'Hey Bo! What's up man! You going to join soccer again this year?' 'Yo Bo! How about joining the swim team this year?' Different high school jocks yelled out to her.

                                                  tab Finally making her way to her dorm room, she set her stuff down by her bed and took a look around. "A girl huh?" She asked herself as she saw her room mates stuff around the room. "Neh, it's not like it matters." She shrugged before heading out the dorm as well to check out new peeps and meet old ones and maybe run a bit.

With this, he put out his cigarette, setting it in the ash tray. She was leaning over things she had dropped, staring up at the male. This made him quirk his eyebrow putting himself in a squatting position, immediately picking up her items and placing them in her palms. He now was standing up, normal, relaxed position. “I’m Ash,” the male smiled, almost welcoming, “I see you smoke?” He did a head jester to the cigarette box that was one of the items he had helped pick up for the female. “I bet you were coming back here to have a smoke. Go ahead, I won’t stop ya.” Ash now turned back to the fence that separated a fellow building from the coffee place. The male reached over at the ash tray, where he took his slightly smoked cigarette, hugging the cigarette with his lips and lit it once again. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” “The trees changing color, the breeze against your face. I’d like this to be every day.” The male fingers now were hugging the cigarette as he released the smoke. “You go to the local high school, right?” “I do as well. Despise the hell hole. Besides obviously, my friends. But the people, all judgmental.” His fingers went back to her face, placed it between his lips, him sipping the smoke once again. He could feel himself ranting, to someone who probably didn’t give a sh*t. The male sighed out of his nose the smoke spilling out. Ash turned his body to female, making eye contact. “Sorry, I’m ranting.” The young male now looked at his shoes, now slightly laughing at himself, but soon looked back up at the fence repositioning his body.
                                            xxxI hate this school. I hope that doesn’t offend you.” The male said, hoping that was the end of the conversation. Ash knew that the female probably didn’t care, and just wanted to leave (mainly because he’s not really much of a ladies’ man). The young male continued smoking his cigarette, trying not to make eye contact, but wishing he would. “I hate crowds you know. The whole idea freaks me out.” “All these kids (forced with people you hate and people who hate you) forced in hallways and classrooms.” The male shook slightly at the thought, soon finding his cigarette was finished. “Mind if I have another one?” The male took out another cigarette, after he disposed of the other in the ash tray. He didn’t really wait for approval as he began to light another one, immediately smoking it. “Bad habit, I guess. But I just enjoy it too much. Can’t picture myself without a cigarette between my fingers.
                                            xxxSo enough about me. Who are you?” A sigh from his lips, as smoke spilled. “So, you smoke.” “You smoke. Behind a coffee place to be exact, which I’ve never seen you go into.” The male took another slip, held it in, and then once again began talking as smoke spilled out. “What’s your name?” He now turned to the female, looking intently into her eyes, intrigued by this new person he’s never seen before. Friends were very rare for the male around these parts; he had like 3, maybe. Maybe, he could add another name to the list, right next to Robbin. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. “Hold on a second.” The male pulled out his phone seeing a text message from his mother, ‘I miss you already’. He closed it automatically, taking another sip from his cigarette. “Sorry. I hope that wasn’t too rude.” “Please continue.

( the loser )




Breya blinks awake and turns her head to stare at her clock-radio that blinks 5:02 AM in red LEDs. She never really knows when she'll wake up because she doesn't really believe in waking up or falling asleep 'too early' or 'too late', she thinks when people say 'wow you wake up way too early I could never do that' that they are full of bullshit. Though she wouldn't not be friends with them... not that she has a choice in her she is friends with the populars make it very clear that Bray is a loser and no one should even make eye contact with her. She sighs and blinks a couple of times, trying to get the sleep out of her eyes, she stares at the ceiling. Finally she sits up in her window seat bed for the last time in the school year or maybe her life, it's not like her parents would notice. Breya shrugs and the reaches to pull open her window and picks up her clear glass bong that sits behind her clock-radio. She packs a bowl and picks up her lighter. She puts her mouth to the bong and lights the bowl, breathing in a little bit and then sucking it all up in her mouth, inhaling the sweet smoke. She holds in for a while and then blows it out the window. She smoked a couple more bowls and the put it down and decided to fix up the last bit of her luggage before heading out to the bus to go to her school.

She lived outside of Washington on an apple orchard but not that far from Storybrooke. She lived with her Mother in small, rickety house, but her room was in the attic which was perfect for her since she had no reason to contact her mother and neither did her mother have any reasons. Once Bray got dressed in some ripped 'boyfriend' jeans, an oversized slouchy black v-neck, white converse and a gray hoodie. She did her make up, she wasn't really into make up but she did enjoy a little bit. Her usual look being winged eyeliner, filled in eyebrows and mascara. Really the only make up she had besides some foundation and a eyeshadow palette. After she was finished getting ready and packed up the rest of her stuff she sat on her bed and picked up the book she'd been reading; Jane Eyre. She was on page 432 and only now started to get interested in it but she always vows to finish her books even if she finds they aren't living up to their potential.

☆═━ TIME SKIP ━═☆

When she decided she had enough of the book for now she decided it was time to meet the bus with her luggage, she took the bus because her parents could care less to drive her all the way to school 'too much of a hassle' or something pathetic like that. She extended the handle on her suitcase and flicked her jean backpack on to her back. She rolled it out on to the ledge before having to carry all her stuff down four flights of stairs. She hugged her suitcase lifting it up and ambled down the stairs, if someone was watching her they most definitely would be laughing. When she got to the bottom she laid her suitcase down and yelled in to the what could be empty house, she had no idea, "I'm leaving now, if anyone was wondering. See you never again, bye." sometimes she just shouted gibberish knowing if her mother could hear she probably was still not listening. She heard a soft grunt from one of the rooms maybe the kitchen and decided that was good enough for a good-bye. Breya walked to the bus station and saw she was right on time. She took out her ticket and got in the line-up to go on the bus into the city. She handed her ticket to the driver as she climbed the stairs, he checked it and handed it back. She found a spot in the back and looked out the window watching some of the workers pile the suitcases into the bottom of the bus. On the bus ride she thought of everyone at school. Breya liked meeting new people but Blair would make it hard as ever for her to do that. She hoped Blair hadn't gotten to her roommate yet... If her roommate was Blair... Bray decided to dismiss the thought and thought about the mischief her and Der were going to get up to, excited to see his face. She picked up her book again and put in her headphones listening to her favorite roadtrip songs; Going To California by Led Zeppelin and Elvis Presley and The Beatles.

☆═━ TIME SKIP ━═☆

Finally Bray had arrived to Storybrooke, she pulled her suitcase on to campus and started to head towards the dorm room building. She saw a couple people she knew wandering campus and smiled. Storybrooke was home sometimes more than her mother made home look like home, she laughed. She got to the building and entered going up four flights of stair because her room was on the fourth floor. When she arrived she knocked on the door quietly before unlocking it and entering, she found no one yet. She felt early all of the sudden but she shrugged and chose the left side of the room that had a window by the bed, of course. She opened it and finally got a chance to light a cigarette, she wasn't one to smoke all the time like Der but she did smoke. She pulled out a smoke from her loose jean pocket and light it with a white Bic lighter. She started unpacking putting her clothes and belongings in different drawers. She laid her two bongs on top of her dresser, from years in the past she knew the faculty wouldn't know a bong if it was thrown in their face. She pulled out her clock-radio and hooked her iPod classic up to it playing Misery by The Beatles. She smiled and danced a bit putting her two rows of books she couldn't part with onto the shared bookshelf they got. She put her study and writing stuff on to her desk and the jumped onto her bed. Happy now that she got to the rooom first, she stuck her head out the window in to the hot air and watched some people playing ultimate Frisbee in the field while she took the last couple of drags from her cigarette and mushed it in to the outside brick wall of the dorm building. She wondered who were the roommates next door. She left her room and tipped toed into the next room. Seeing a boy standing next to the window and talking to someone, she lightly knocked on the door and moved further in to the room. She saw Der and was happy to see his face. Atleast one person she knew, she kinda giggled a little when she finally took in who Der's roommate was. Wondering how happy he was about the match up. "Hey Der. Sorry to interrupt." she said cautiously wondering what they were talking about. Her hands wrapped themselves into the edge of her sleeves and she smiled. "What are you doing ya filthy ********?" she laughed. "Stop bullying kids." she teased, seeing his expression towards the rommate of his. She didn't know why she was in this happy mood still, having smoked hours ago. Maybe she was just happy to see someone she knew.

tashington r o s e austerexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
the invisible o u t f i txxx

there's no such thing as g o o d enough,
for a r c t i c eyes and hard earned rust.



                                            'Oh no.' The girl's hazel eyes grew deer-in-the-headlights-wide, even more so than they already were, as the stranger placed the few items she'd dropped back into her delicate hands. Playing invisible usually does the trick with her; nobody ever talks to her... ever... Aside from the occasional cashier that tried to make small talk and her parents, this was the first person to actually talk to Tashington since last semester ended. She stuffed a couple things back in her school bag and slung it over her shoulders as the man started to talk to her, and she nervously tightened her fist around the pack of cigarettes in her palm. The filter of her lit cigarette was almost flattened between her teeth. After shoving her crumpled pack of Djarum blacks into her back pocket, she removed the cigarette from her teeth and exhaled the smoke from her lungs. At this point, her gaze had returned to the ground in front of her.

                                            Ash, as he'd introduced himself, asked Tash if she smoked, and she nodded at the sidewalk. Cigarette lifted back to her lips, she inhaled deeply and let the smoke fill her lungs. It relaxed her to an extent, although she was still extremely on edge. People made her immensely nervous, and her social skills were very sub-par. Mom and Dad never let her leave the house much anymore, and any friends that she'd had were long, long gone. Social skills were no longer on her list of top priorities. Besides, how do you talk to people without babbling like an idiot? Is that normal?

                                            As she let the smoke billow from between her pale lips, Tashington felt her stomach leap into her throat as Ash asked if she went to Storybrooke High. She nodded in reply again, accidentally flicking the cherry off of her cigarette. A pout appeared on her lips as she sighed and carefully placed it in the ashtray. Glancing up toward Ash, she locked eyes with him for a moment -- 'Who knew brown eyes could be so beautiful?' -- and her face turned bright red. Tash dropped her gaze immediately back to the ground. 'You look like an idiot,' she thought, fumbling for her pack again. 'At least say something to the guy so he doesn't think you're some kind of mute freak.' Her mind was getting away from her as she argued with herself inwardly, finally making her first audible reply once Ash asked, "Mind if I have another one?" to which she replied, "N-n-no, of course not," before jamming another cigarette between her own teeth with a blistered hand. Her nerves were starting to loosen; as long as he continued to talk and didn't ask more questions, she would be okay for now. She could just keep nodding and staring at the ground and all would be well!

                                            Or not. "So enough about me. Who are you?" Her throat tightened as she shifted her stance, and cringed slightly as she moved her bruising back the wrong way. Tash cleared her throat and peered up at the man again. She didn't realize how tall he was earlier. Tash stood just taller than five feet... Ash had to have been at least a foot taller than she. He loomed over her, and her stomach tied itself in to a quadruple knot. "I, uhm, I'm.." she took a long, deep drag off her cigarette. "Tashington- er, Tash. Hi. Nice to, uh, m-meet you." The girl's words stumbled ungracefully off her lips. Her hazel orbs darted around the man's face before finally meeting his gaze for a moment. "I'm a, uh, junior.. at the, uh, high school.. F-first year living on the, uh.. the campus, I guess."

                                            While Ash checked his phone, Tash hastily finished up her second cigarette, tossed it in the ashtray, then turned and bent over to gather her suitcase. As she did so, her shirt rode up her slender back to reveal the bruising from the encounter with her father this morning. Her left arm had stopped bleeding a while ago, but her ripped shirt clung to the drying blood. She groaned in pain as she straightened and turned back toward Ash, and forced a half-smile. "I, uh, better get to the d-dorms.." She raised her suitcase slighty. "Still gotta m-move in. I will, uh, see you later.. I-I guess." Another smile, then a brisk turn on her heel and she was off shuffling down the sidewalk toward the dorms. After getting about fifteen feet away, she slowed and turned back towards the boy. He was so nice to her, and she felt terrible for up and leaving like that. "Nice to me-meet you!" Although she was strung tighter than a fiddle, something inside of her hoped she'd encounter him again. Still though, is this what the entire semester is going to be like? Tashington already felt like she was going to implode; that was enough socialization to last a few days.. and she had yet to meet her roommate. Ugh. At least she'd have another five mile walk to blow off some nervous steam.

                                            ~ ☾ ~


                                            Tashington had managed to avoid all contact with the other students as she made a beeline across campus toward her dorm. She dragged her suitcase up the flight of stairs and down the hall, head down as she passed a blonde-haired Asian boy in the hall. Stepping into her room, she found that her roommate had already dropped off their stuff and left. She heaved a sigh, and set her things at the foot of her bed. Unbuttoning her shirt, she peeled it from her skin and winced as the cut on her arm split again. She tossed it onto the bed, now just in jeans and a thin tank top, and plopped down right next to it as she exhaled another sigh. Analyzing the bags that were already in the room, she slowly came to a nerve-wracking conclusion.... 'Is my roommate.. a boy? Oh no..' The knot in her stomach tightened again as she rubbed her face. This was going to be a long school year.
