Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kiyoko also felt the lightbulb click as she heard this truth; If Conall did stay with them, Ray would be furious (along with a few others). "Hmm....I would think he'd be with a teacher; I'd doubt they would want to let him off the hook that easily." she said. "As for Ray.......well, not a whole lot you can do. Perhaps when you do go to look for Conall, take Ray with you. On an assumption that Conall might not be trying to get himself into more trouble when you find him, perhaps Ray will perk up a bit." she suggested.

She then let the other part sink in, and also laughed. "You've got a point there! Poor Renji. Wait........" she stopped and looked towards a bright shiny poster, one with sliver and purple giltter. She then began to laugh harder, making it harder to form words. "This..........this the fifth time we've pasted this poster since we've started talking. We've been going in circles!"

Finally stopping the laughter, Kiyoko thought over this suggestion carefully. While it seemed to be a good idea (it really did), there was only one setback: what if he didn't listen? On the contrary, what if he took this the wrong way, thinking Kiyoko was using him to help Celia? Everything would end in a heartbeat. But perhaps it'd stop the two cousins arguing........she'd rather take a chance at losing feelings that were just barely starting to develop as opposed to losing both a new friend and having both cousins hate each other's guts.

"I think it's worth a shot, your idea." she said finally. "And that gives me quite an amusing picture." she said, trying not to burst out laughing again. She remembered when one of her old friends broke up with a guy; she'd gone to her house to find her surrounded by bags of chips, candy, cookies, and snack foods. Ironically, she usually didn't eat alot, but boy, did she have alot of empty wrappers! Putting something like that with Ray's face was a bit on the priceless side.

"Wow, if Renji was following us, he'd think we're both pathetic at hide-and-seek, AND think we're insane." she said.

Kiyoko laughed. "Hehe, where are you Renjiiiiiiii?" she also called out playfully, as if for a moment reliving some random scene in her childhood days, searching for the others out on the playground during the same game as this real scenario was realting to.

"Perhaps we're not thinking on the same page as he is." she said, as she playfully put a finger to her lip, pretending to be in deep thought. "Now, if I was a Renji, what would I find relaxing and not show up when called for? Hmm....."but she realized she didn't know a whole lot about him so it'd be a pointless thought.

((No worries smile ))

Al chuckled at Ray and then reached over to pat his back. "Sounds pretty serious, eh?" He shrugged. "Cut back on the lines and you might actually get somewhere."

((EDIT! Forgot Ms. E.))

Ms. Espinosa smiled at his joke and went inside the office once more. "So, Mr. Kiyoshi, what shall we do with Conall?" She glanced at the boy, giving him a quick warning glare so he wouldn't ... say anything about... that, and fiddled with her shirt. "There's been a lot of fighting going around the school also. We should start punishing the trouble makers."

Turning so that Conall could only see one side of her face, she starting winking at Mr. Kiyoshi. "And it seems that the football captain has decided to practice on a few kids in the hall. I saw many students with bruises. Maybe his girlfriend also has something to with the provocation of such fights."

[Oh wow, you've posted a lot O.o]

Celia smiled and waved to Kiyoko. "Thanks, see you later." she said and headed towards the steps. She didn't know where to go though. She went down the stairs to the first floor and just sat there in the stairwell were they had sat together before. She sighed and closed her eyes. She thought for a minute. She could check the detention room, but there wasn't much she could do if he was in there. But she didn't know where else he'd be if he was let free. She groaned in annoyance.


Ray looked at him. "I know, but I can't help it..." he sighed. Then he heard someone down the hall. He stopped talking and looked towards the door. A small smile formed on his lips when he saw Kiyoko come in. "Hungry yet?" he asked. He hadn't taken more than two bites of his food. "What not find Renji?" he asked, then followed with another question. "Where is Celia?"

Celia got up after a minute and left the stairwell. She wandered around the hallways. First the hallways were very crowded and loud, but as she went on they grew quieter and quieter. She sighed, almost giving up hope. Then she saw Lucy pass in a huff, not even seeing her. She was glad she was too mad to see her too. She grew curious at what she was so angry at. She was always upset over something, but she wanted to know, so she turned down the hall Lucy came from.
