Erol groaned as the door to his room burst open and an exuberant Akila came fluttering in. "Time for school...get up!" she shouted kicking the mattress for emphasis.
Erol rolled over on his side turning his back on her as he snuggled deeper into his sleep. "Later." He said as if that should be enough.
Akila pulled the covers from him and promptly tossed him out of the bed where he fell to the floor. "Take a shower and be down in fifteen minutes or you won't get any food." she said simply and walked off taking the covers with her.
Snorting the boy sat up leaning his head on the bed as he looked up at the ceiling. "I should destroy the school." he thought aloud, but jumped as Akila swiftly came into the room with a glare of impending doom.
"If you so much as sneeze the wrong way at that school and I hear about it you'll have a lot more to worry about then training. Now get going." She said and was once more gone.
Erol frowned but did as told wondering where her superhuman ears had come from. He smirked as he quickly went about his morning rituals. Showers, brush teeth, attempt to brush hair, dress and gather all his books plus other odds an ends then scurried down to get a quick hot meal. Within moments he was on the bus and headed for school. He took the empty seat in the back wanting to be left alone so he could listen to his iPod on full blast and drown out the world behind him. Leaning back he kicked up his feet and did just that, the rowdy noises of the kids on the bus drowned out by his music.

"Hurry up and get in the damn car Raleigh!"
"I'm coming damnit!"
They were late again of course, meaning Ruriska was sitting in her shiny red car, beeping the hell out of the horn and annoying everyone else in the vicinity while Raleigh ran around the house attempting to shove everything into his backpack.
They'd both overslept again after a scary movie marathon. When Ruri had woken up that morning both of them had been curled up on the couch together and she would have been inclined to find it cute had she not had Raleigh drooling on her leg or the immense Yasuo staring soullessly into her eyes.
Damn creepy, that's what it was!
"Hurry up!"
"I'm here, I'm here!"
Finally making it to the car, Raleigh barely had a chance to shut the door before Ruriska screeched off. They wove through traffic at a wonderfully fast pace, and no doubt Ruri would get herself another speeding ticket and possibly her licence revoked which Charles would kindly get back to her again. Ah, life was good.
They pulled up in front of the school and Raleigh hurried inside, passing a disapproving teacher. There was that problem child again, she was probably thinking, as Raleigh sauntered along the hallway looking for his locker.

Erol was lounging casually near the bathroom and water fountains. Class was due to start within the next five minutes, he however was not of the mind to care. He had a few of his friends around chatting him up about some such event that had happened over the weekend."Thanks for the new tunes, Manny. I'm feeling the vibes in this one." Erol spoke up with a chuckle.
The boys were in an uproar over something and began arguing playfully amongst themselves, Erol was only half listening when he noticed Raleigh coming up fast to his locker. With a smirk he waved off his friends and sauntered over. Leaning against the locker next to Raleigh he stood their casually. "You do know there's this invention called an alarm clock. It works wonders for the waking impared."
Erol was the kind of boy that liked to tease others. Regardless if he liked them or not, in this case Raleigh and Erol were known for their constant bickering and fighting. So much so the whole school seemed to be weary of the two boys when they were together. Erol's friends stopped arguing as they noted the two boys together now. It was almost time for class so the group of boys hurried off to their classes, Erol completely forgot the time so engrossed was he in messing with Raleigh.

Raleigh first day at school had been rather turbulent as it had involved a very interesting speech to the class that the kids nor the teachers had appreciated, getting into a fist fight with another kid and making a name for himself a trouble. Even though he'd been there for about a year now, he had only managed to make one friend, and if he was not with her he seemed quite happy being alone with his thoughts. At times he could be so hostile most kids didn't even bother try getting to know him.
As soon as he saw Erol, his nose crinkled up in distaste, a frown was evident on his face. When the two were together sparks tended to fly and it was generally best they keep out of each other's presence unless they were looking for a problem. Yep, there was definitely a lot of rivalry between the two, but Raleigh would be the first to admit (though only to Ruriska) that he sometimes found their fighting rather amusing. Most people were quite surprised the two had yet to get into a fist fight, though it couldn't be too far off. If Raleigh were in a seriously off mood there was no doubt his fist would be meeting Erol's nose if the boy ever pushed him too far.
Luckily he was in a rather calm mood today, though he would rather Erol just shove off. "It's called not giving a ******** about school. Now buzz off.' Raleigh replied casually, eyeing the blonde carefully before he turned to his locker, for all appearances ignoring Erol completely. Stuffing his backpack in he gathered a book and a pencil and then slammed the locker shut.

Erol snorted dismissively as well turning with a slight wave of his hand. "Yeah whatever man...you must have a serious stick up your butt this morning. Do yourself a favor and use your powers to remove it and make better use of it, yes?" he replaced his earphones back on and turned his iPod on full blast to drown out anything the boy would have said. The bell had rung and it was time to get a move on least he be late...
And wouldn't you know it... the door to class was locked. "The ********!?" he screamed at the teacher from the other side. The teacher favored the boy with a warning glare before turning to instruct the class.
Kicking the door roughly Erol stood idly by shovinig his hands in his pockets. The hall sweeper would be on their way soon and he couldn't afford being late today...not when there was a test he had actually studied for. Beside he had promised Akila he would pass it and she'd take him to get his guitar modded. "********' brainy a** teachers..." He stood by pulling some gum from his pocket he shoved it angrily into his mouth trying to figure out what he would do next.
[couldn't think..come up with something..neh?]

Raleigh only reply was a noncommittal grunt. Jo doubt today would be filled wiht pointless, casual arguing. Besides the occasional off remark to each other just for the sake of it, neither would really note the other's existence. Raleigh certainly didn't. He listened in a detached sort of way as Erol screamed at the door and the teacher and generally just made a fuss. Almost a bad a mouth as Ruri on that one. That thought nearly made him smile, but he held it back with admirable restraint.
Raleigh stalked over to where Erol was swearing and making a scene. Oh right, the test. He hadn't studied at all, but it was a math test and by some twist of divine fate Raleigh was actually really good at maths, thus his natural talent would surely pull him through with a passable mark. After peering through the door window and giving the teacher an angry glare, he leant against the doorway. The teacher couldn't leave them there forever.
Said teacher was probably asking 'why me?'. After all, she had both Raleigh and Erol in her grade and that was never a good thing. But she'd have to let them in, or else... well no, Raleigh couldn't turn the wooden door into one of his creations, much to his annoyance. A number of people would have his guts for that. The boy stared through the window again, trying to get the woman's attention. It wasn't like he ever made a big fuss in class(except for that first day), unlike some rowdier people.
"Damn it."

After waiting for what seemed like forever, Erol smirked to himself. He was still listening to his iPod on full blast as usual but with the teacher paying the two of them no mind he figured a little fun was in order. Eyeing Raleigh a moment he pushed off the wall and walked casually down the hall before.
Disappearing around a corner there was the sound of a slight gush of air with a wave of invisible energy that raced down the hall then Erol running down the hall right after. "Alright..." he whooped and suddenly the fire alarms went off everywhere in the school. Rushing to stand near the door he smirked to himself awaiting the students to gather and exit the rooms. Sure enough everyone was in line and heading out of their classes.
The teacher eyed both the boys wondering if either had anything to do with it but considering they were still standing at the door and had little to no time to do as such, he slapped them both upside the head to usher them out of the building. Erol just hummed to himself while protecting his precious iPod and other equipment in his satchel.

Listening to his music again. Didn't he ever do anything else? Yes, be an annoying prat. Raleigh stared at the roof, clearly bored and wishing the damn teacher would get a move on. Open the door damnit! He'd give him five more minutes before he started pounding on the door, or broke the bloody window. After whistling a bit to keep himself amused Raleigh turned to watch Erol to see what the other boy was doing. That smirk... Oh dear. As Erol darted off, Raleigh grinned and waited with half puzzlement and half amusement to see what the young super come up with.
The fire alarm suddenly started up with its piercing sound and Erol came running back around the corner looking very pleased with himself. Raleigh snorted and rolled his eyes. "Show off." The door behind them opened, the teacher stalking out with his class filed along behind him. Both boys were given a very suspicious glare, at which Raleigh just shrugged at and smiled.
Raleigh followed the rest of the class out onto the school grounds. Everyone milled around, confused and disorientated. The teacher's were having a heck of a time trying to organize their classes and figure out if there was a fire or not. It was all rather funny really. As soon as people got into the open space of the oval lines simply fell apart and kids wandered around all over the place to gossip with friends. After casting a quick glance around for Mara, Raleigh proceeded to move to a less populated area and sat down.

Erol came up to Ra casually his hands behind his head as his music was on but not up too high where he couldn't hear. "So...are you up for a little fun?" He asked. Despite his dislike of the boy, he saw a wild side within Ra that would prove interesting if they ever decided to be friends...he rolled his eyes at this. Okay friends was pushing it, perhaps associates.
At any rate, Erol leaned against a particular tree having skittered away from the crowd of children milling about. His iPod was on full blast as was usual for him. He gave Ra a look as he waited for the boy to come nearer and out of ear shot of the teachers and other authority figures before he would turn his iPod down.
"Look. I know we don't get along that's fine with me. But I know a guy when he's into a little mischief...or at least I like to think so. Lets ditch school and hit the town. And don't start with me on that crap about us being too young. Its annoying and I hear it enough from Akila daily." He said with a snort. "Well you up for it?" He asked eyeing the crowd. Now was the perfect distraction to sneek away. If they dallied to long it would be useless to go. He proded the boy by walking off with his earphones on full blast. If Ra wanted to come he would...it was simple as that. Erol would simply make him choose through actions. Dipping past a few firemen who made it on the scene due to the fire alarm he found himself safely hidden behind the fire trucks. Now to the bus stop...he had money enough for the both of them but wouldn't offer if the boy had his own money.

There was one blessed moment of peace before Erol sauntered over, oozing the cool self-confidence that always made Raleigh was to hit him. The moment they had met Raleigh had always considered the boy as a rival. Erol was one of the strongest of the super children; the only one that Raleigh thought could challenge his own powers. Thus came the instant dislike. Brow creased down in a frown, his arms folded over his chest. Was he up for some fun?
Not wanting to bow too much to Erol's wishes, but still rather intrigued, Raleigh settled for shuffling a little closer. Erol could talk or he could go away, either way Raleigh didn't care.
Raleigh listened, his frown deepening a little. His gaze swept the milling crowd around them. They wouldn't be missed. So when Erol began to stroll away, he got up and followed, hands in his pockets. This could actually be interesting. Keeping a few steps behind, he walked with his eyes on Erol's back. That guy was so terribly self-assured, and it annoyed him.

With his music up full blast he hadn't noticed Ra behind him but only by a glimpse behind him did he see the other taking the intiative. Good boy... he thought smirking lightly as he continued on past the crowd. Once in the clearing he smiled proudly of himself whistling to the music that played in his ears. "Ah home free..." the bus stop wasn't much further down the road, and taking a moment to look at his watch, it would be here and gone before anyone could miss them.
As they came up to the stop the bus was on its way. "Right on time." he said and turned off his music long enough to collect his money. "If you don't think you can handle your own way..." he said pulling out a wad of cash. "I can spot you until you pay me back of course." Yeah he wasn't going to let the boy off easy. After all they weren't friends or anything.
Once on the bus, Erol took the back seat near the window glaring out as the road past them by. "So..." he began unsure of a topic to engage themselves in. "Uh yeah... I'm not sure what you are into but you better speak up now. I was hoping we could hit the mall for a bit maybe go to some of your favorite spots assuming they aren't boring or anything." Oh look at that he was trying to be corjole.

Raleigh didn't bother wondering if he'd made the right choice or not; in fact he probably would have hightailed it out of there without Erol's urging. The young super strolled after Erol, looking unconcerned, his mind occasionally wandering to places he'd like to be. Back home Yasuo would be doing what he always did, laying down in the middle of the lounge room and staring blankly at a wall, waiting for Raleigh's return. Maybe if it was a good day the creature would be staring unblinkingly at Ruriska, making her squirm and shut the door to her room with a loud slam and a curse.
The teen snapped out of his little reverie as they approached the bus. Stepping up onto the bus behind Erol, he produced his own money (of course he had his own money, Ruri gave him anything he wanted, the spoilt little rat), giving his so-called 'companion' a hard stare. "I can pay for myself." He would be damned if he was going to owe his rival anything, even for such a small amount as a bus ticket.
He followed Erol to the back of the bus and sat not too close, but close enough to talk. The look on his face didn't exactly encourage conversation, but he answered Erol all the same. "The mall sounds fine." He rarely went to the mall, and in fact, he didn't 'hang out' at all. His friend ratio being depressingly close to zero. Though since he counted his creation as his friends maybe it was that bad.

"The mall it is.." and with that Erol was returned back to his own word as his music was turned up full blast. The ride however, was uneventful, neither youths paid much mind to the other, either thinking of their own things or starying blankly out the bus window.
By the time the bus did reach the mall, Erol was all but bored with the music on his iPod. "Gonna have to upload new music." He muttered and turned the thing off for the time being. Stepping off the bus after it came to a stop he didn't wait up for Ra heading straight into the massive building and more importantly one of his usual spots. The electronic store, he wanted to invest in an iPod with more memory this one simply would not do.
After a quick search and the purchase of a new iPod, Erol finally addressed Ra with a mild smirk. "Anything you want to look at. There's plenty to do here unless you're not much of a shopper then I can't help you." Erol said, stuffing his hands casually in his pocket. He noted a few students from their school who he had ditched with on plenty of occassions. Of them was Tiffany a rather cute girl but not his taste; he gave her a wink and hi-fived the other boys that came over to converse for a moment. Eventually they all skuttled along on their way leaving Erol and Ra to their own devices. "Hungry?" Erol asked not sure what would get the boy to talk or even show some interest in life...after all he dealt with dead matter so much he might as well be dead.

Raleigh's problem was that he had never had much interaction with other kids, and was definitely the solitary type. This whole thing made him nervous. With Ruri and his companions he could be talkative and loud, but right now, he just didn't know what to say. So he remained in silence even as they got off the bus and headed into the mall. He followed Erol with his hands in his pockets, his gaze alert as he looked around. This wasn't a mall he frequented; there was another closer to his house that got the most of his service.
He walked behind Erol in the electronics store, amazing himself with his desire to grab and run. No, not run, sidle out with practised ease. His time on the street had made such an ability a requirement, not that he needed to do it anymore and of course stealing something from a electronics store was just stupid. They had too many safe guards to it. Raleigh wandered over to the DVD sections and looked for something not in his collection. There was quite of a few of course, but nothing he'd like to watch.
He wandered back over to Erol and waited as he bought his new Ipod. "No, not much of a shopper. But I wouldn't mind just looking around." When the group of teens from the school approached Raleigh stepped back and simply waited for them to leave. He did not converse with their type and he didn't want to. When they finally did continue on their way, he was a lot happier and showed it with a small smile. "I wouldn't mind something to eat." He gave Erol a sidelong glace. "Lead the way."
