Freshmen ﹙ There’s no place I’d rather be ﹚
x﹙ Then on my surfboard out at sea ﹚
xx﹙ Lingering in the ocean blue ﹚
xxx﹙And If I had one wish come true ﹚  "Oh, I see," Leilani mused softly as she placed yet another bite into her mouth and chewed it before swallowing it all whole. At that moment, she saw how Andrew shyed away from her and looked down and away. Did she do something to make him upset? Was it something she said? She had all of her internal questions answered when he spoke up once more, but this time he was speaking about a war. Lifting her glass of orange juice to her lips, she sat there, interest peaked as soon as he mentioned the word 'war'. As he continued with his explanation, however brief and undetailed as it was, she finished off the last of the juice in the glass before she placed it carefully back down on the table, trying hard not to make a sound so she wouldn't be able to miss anything.
They actually sided with Great Britain? The Hawaiian thought to herself as she internally arched an eyebrow at this news. She would have never thought that any sort of native nation would side with the British, especially after all of the disease and destruction that they caused them. She figured the same thing that happened to her people, happened to the natives on the main land as well, since old habits for Arthur, especially during the age of discovery, were hard to break. Even though she saw a shrug, she could still tell that he was hiding some of the pain and hurt from her, but she understood why. He had basically been betrayed by someone whom he thought he could trust, who went against him and joined the 'enemy' side, but she didn't know the whole story so she didn't want to leap to any conclusions on her own.
Lifting her free hand, she reached across the rather small table and rested it upon the back of his palm. "Andrew, I'm sorry," She began as she gave his hand yet another reassuring squeeze as she looked to him, trying to force a small smile as she stared into his eyes. "I don't fully understand why the Cherokee joined with Arthur during that war, but it wasn't fair to you that they did that. If I were in that position, I would never leave your side for that tyrant..." Yes, although Arthur hadn't acted that way towards her for centuries, she still couldn't shake the early perceptions that she had gained from her exposure to him. （HawaiianRollarcoasterRide - . . .）

☀Andrew S. Hickory☀ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Tennessee blushed when he felt Leilani's fingers wrap comfortingly around his hand. Now that she apparently wasn't his baby sister he didn't know how to interpret her exactly. It might take some time for Andrew to re-calibrate himself to get used to his new perspective on the smaller girl. He forced himself to raise his eyes to meet hers and hesitated. Back then he had felt like Cherokee was the absolute traitor although time, age and experience had taught him the natives did have their reasons. Not that he was going to up and forgive everything that had happened, but he at least recognized there was blame to share now. Andrew's blush spread slightly as Leilani said she would stay by his side. He had to duck his head and rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly while struggling for some sort of response. What was a man supposed to say to that? He felt a little embarrassed but oddly happy to know she would always pick him over England. "T-thanks, I... um..." Tennessee hesitated when he received the text message from Christian. He paused for a moment and knew it was slightly rude, but in many ways it felt like a small gift to be distracted. He pulled out his cell phone and hesitated when he saw the message. A beach party? Andrew hated the coast... "Looks like everybody is gettin' together again today," he commented although he wasn't sure if he should go or not. Georgia had gone to great lengths to get away from him so why invite him along? ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Grade 9

xx﹙ Lingering in the ocean blue ﹚
xxx﹙And If I had one wish come true ﹚ Leilani slowly retracted her hand from his own as soon as she saw how uncomfortable Andrew became with her. Well it wasn't so much that he was uncomfortable with her but probably with the entire situation. She hadn't nearly forgotten the entire load of information that she had unloaded onto the eastern state, especially the fact that she wasn't entirely his sister anymore. Although she liked being a sister to him for the amount of time they had spent together, she felt that it was only fair to him and to herself that she should be treated as she was, and that was just as a fellow state. She had returned to her breakfast, eating a few more bites before she heard heard his phone vibrate and him answer it.
By the time he spoke, she was already done with her meal and sighed out of satisfaction. "Boy, that really hit the spot," She mused to herself as she placed her fork and knife down on the empty plate before she leaned back in her chair and patted her stomach with the palms of her hands. But as her attention was them directed back to Tennessee, the island state tilted her head to one side before the corners of her mouth curved upwards into a smile. "Everybody? You mean the states? Well, that might be nice. Where's everyone meeting up at?" She asked all at once as she leaned back more in her chair with her fingers interlaced over her stomach, her knees against the table to support her weight and to help her rock back and forth on the chair slightly. （HawaiianRollarcoasterRide - . . .）

Though Christian had never implemented any underhanded tactics against him that he was aware of, he knew the elder state wasn't an innocent dove and could be ruthless against others when he wanted to be. Andrew wasn't sure where exactly he stood with his neighbor now, but the moving out of the dorm thing hadn't been a positive sign. "I don't know if I'll go. I'm not much for beaches to begin with..." Andrew said with a light shrug. To be honest, when he first saw the ocean he had thought it was some sort of monster trying to gobble him up. ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Grade 9

xxx﹙And If I had one wish come true ﹚ As soon as Andrew mentioned that the party would be at the beach, the Hawaiian's entire demeanor shifted to uncontainable glee as she clasped her hands together before her chest, interlacing her fingers as gasped softly. "There's a beach here? That's amazing~!" She exclaimed before she raised herself from her seat and took a step to the side. As soon as her foot touched the ground, she spun around on the ball of it, her ebony hair whipping around her from its tied position. She hadn't been to a beach in what felt like ages, although it hadn't been more than a week since she was back at home, surfing the curl of her beloved Pacific Ocean.
But as soon as Andrew stated that he wouldn't be going, Leilani quickly haulted herself and stared at him with a quizzical expression. But after a moment of thinking it over, she finally remembered his correct geography. "Ah that's right, you're not a coastal state." She mused softly before she strolled over to him and knelt down so she was on her knees besides him, shaking at his leg gently as she fluttered her long eyelashes at him. "Oh Tennessee, please, you must come. I'm sure it's beautiful and the party's going to be fun~!" She pleaded softly as she continued to shake his leg in an almost childish manner. "There's going to be food and music and dancing and fun in the sun! Please! I could teach you how to surf or we could go snorkeling in the water and try to hunt for fish! Please, you must come~!" （HawaiianRollarcoasterRide - . . .）

☀Andrew S. Hickory☀ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Tennessee was surprised to see Hawaii get down on her knees to beg him with those big, hopeful blue eyes targeted in his direction. He blushed and folded his arms as he looked away from her struggling very hard to ignore the pleas for adventure. The leg shaking was making it very difficult to accomplish and he reluctantly found himself glancing back at her warily. He wasn't so sure about this whole beach nonsense and there was the whole drama with Georgia, but Leilani seemed really excited about this. "... I guess I could at least walk you over to check it out," he relented grudgingly as he gave in to her fluttering eyelashes. "Not gonna guarantee I'll stay, though." ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Grade 9

Freshmen ﹙ There’s no place I’d rather be ﹚

xx﹙ Lingering in the ocean blue ﹚
xxx﹙And If I had one wish come true ﹚ When Andrew agreed to at least take her to the beach, her expression immediately lightened as a wide grin graced her lips once more. But it almost faltered once more when he told her that he wasn't going to guarantee to her that he was going to stay. She pouted a bit at this as she stopped shaking his lay, resting her chin against his knee for a moment as she left a breath out her nose. "Fine Andrew, I guess that's good enough. I'd be more happy with you staying, but y'know, I can't force you to do anything you don't want to do." She mused softly as she smiled reassuringly to him once more before she picked herself up off the ground and glanced at the clock.
"Well, I guess I should get ready. Give me a minute please." She told him as she skipped off to her room to get ready. Once she closed the door, she flung her tank top and her shorts off before opening her closet. Glancing at her various bikinis, she chose a red one and tied it on. The next few moments were her collecting a beach bag full of towels, firewood, liquid ignition, her fishing harpoon, and of course, her surfboard. It wasn't stylish or edgy like alot of Landon's were, but it was the simplest design that her people came up with and the most effective. Although this was just a copy of one of the first longboards she made, since many of them smashed against her reefs and broke over the centuries, she had this one the longest and loved it dearly. Before she left her room, she grabbed a black pair of surf shorts so she could at least look a little more decent in front of Andrew. Even though he did tell her that he didn't mind her exposing her body more, she thought that maybe she should take baby steps and ease him into seeing her in this new light.
"Alright! I'm ready~" She exclaimed as she walked out of her room, bag slung over her shoulder and her longboard under her right arm as her shark bone harpoon dangled from her bag. "Do you need to get anything before we go?" （HawaiianRollarcoasterRide - . . .）

Though he hadn't guaranteed he would stay, he didn't say no, either. It never hurt to be prepared. He only needed to slip on some swimming trunk so he didn't bother announcing his brief departure. Sure enough, by the time Hawaii had gathered all her things he was ready and waiting for her not looking any different except he now had a pair of casual dark khaki trunks which looked more like regular shorts. He had on a pair of old flip-flops although Andrew had a feeling he would need to abandon them once they got on the sand since they'd only make tripping easier. Tennessee's cheeks flushed when he saw the bikini top, but did his best to keep his expression from changing. The shy state cleared his throat a bit before awkwardly turning towards the door to lead the way to the beach. "I'm fine," he said. "We should get goin' now." ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Grade 9

Latvia Raivis Galdent  Raivis stuck a book mark in the pages of the old book. He heard the door to the dorm close and figured Leilani and her friend left. He hoped they didn't mind he didn't make breakfast for them. He would of if the friend wasn't already here.
He got dressed in a black t-shirt and blue jeans before opening his room door and getting an apple from the kitchen. When Leiani came back he was going to ask her on a date, it had been a long time since the two spent time together.
He slipped on his shoes and went out of the dorm.

 The Other World Kingdom ♀ Patricia Novak
Patricia ran into her dorm and collapsed on her bed, after shutting and locking her door. She just wanted to be alone, because Florida had made it clear to her that she couldn't be around people without hurting them, if even she didn't want to, even when she was trying to fix things. She decided she would just stay here, she wasn't coming out again, not ever!
Of course, that statement, especially coming from someone as young as her, meant next to nothing really.

 Gran
~the dwarf cub~ Gran was getting bored and hungry. Again. Honestly, California needed to feed him more than just one paltry can of sardines in the mornings...He would have to remember to bother the forgetful Westerner about it sometime. In the meantime, it was all the bear could do to wander down the dorm hall, looking for Florida or perhaps someone else who had food. Gran had already passed Dorm 24 by the time Florida and Georgia started having their fun; otherwise, he would certainly have intervened in his curiosity. As it was, the first sound he heard was someone sniffling. Gran's ears perked up, for that voice sounded familiar. He padded up to the door and reared up on his hind legs to open it. Inside, he found a sniffling Patricia. Gran padded up to the bed and stared curiously at her. Why was she, of all people, crying? From the cub's inadequate experience with her, she didn't seem like the sniffly type. (Bored and itching to help/bother Pat. And to your nGA OOC, no worries; Romero's style is kept simple so that I can interchange the pics at will. He has about eight thumbs, compared to Landon's three, that I use for various settings and moods.)

The Other World Kingdom ♀ Patricia Novak
Patricia heard a noise in her room, and at first she still didn't look up. But after a moment she realized the sounds she was hearing weren't human. She finally lifted her head up a bit. It was... A bear? Why is there a bear in my dorm? She wondered as she stared at it curiously. She was fairly certain none of her roommates had pets. Actually, now that she thought about it, she was pretty sure this bear belonged to... "Landon." She announced out loud as she came to the conclusion. Unsure if the bear would understand her, she spoke to it. "This isn't California's dorm" She told him, hoping that if he know that the bear would go to it's owner's dorm. If not, though, as much as she didn't want to, she would probably take it back to Cali's dorm. After all, she was sure he didn't want to be here. No one really wanted to be around her.

Gran
~the dwarf cub~ Gran gave a grumpy snuffle. Of course this wasn't California's dorm; he had just left it! As far as the grizzly cub was concerned, the Other World Kingdom was just a curiosity distracting him from his food hunt. Padding up to where she sat on the bed, he dumped his head boldly into her lap and, to add insult to injury, rolled over right there and then, exposing his belly and practically demanding to be rubbed. Gran wasn't afraid of her; rather, he wondered why someone who could have seemed so angry the last time they'd met could be so upset now. (OOC: Next move: Tickle Pat for food!)

The Other World Kingdom ♀ Patricia Novak
Patricia was surprised when the little bear crawled up onto her lap. Well that wasn’t the reaction she had been expecting. But... the bear was awfully cute! She had to admit that. So she started to pet the little bear, thinking that Landon surely won’t mind if the bear stayed in her for a bit. She actually didn’t mind having it around.

Gran
~the dwarf cub~ Gran relaxed as he was petted by the Other World Kingdom, even closing his eyes to take a brief nap, punctuated by contented snoring, in her arms--something that California would never dare do around her. But his nap was short-lived, as the grizzly cub's stomach gave its prolific rumble and the bear opened his eyes and rolled over, looking around for some good food--and not that crappy preserved stuff either. Gran sat on his haunches and began pawing haphazardly at Patricia, poking and pressing her in all sorts on places and accidentally ticking her in his quest for food. (Phone. The last time Gran left was for food also. XD)
