Welcome to Gaia! ::

Beck blushed deeper at the complement and put her free hand around Ty's waist hugging him gently. "I had lots of fun, And thanks, you're so nice." She stood up on her tip toes and stretched her neck out to plant a little kiss on his cheek.

"Ami. I would call you those things, but I don't feel like you would like it coming from my mouth." She shrugged and reached over to brush a strand of hair our of the girl's eyes. Her glasses where adorable on her cute face. Beck had always admired Ami's quirky unique style.

Tyler Del Mauro

"Sorry, but I was going to ask her out, she didn't seem like the macho chasing type. I think I would make a better date for her anyway." Beck teased. She grinned and let her arm drop from around the boy's waist quickly she got up and gave a slight wave as Her form ran off after the girl. Beck caught the girl in the hallway and put a hand on her shoulder her touch incredibly gentle. If shay had wanted to she needed only to move slightly to get away from Beck's hand.

"Hey, are you okay?" Back's face was slightly worried. She didn't want the new girl to feel alienated or alone, But loved and welcomed. "Did we scare you off?" She smirked slightly and linked arms with the brunette. Beck started to walk her towards a lesser used hallway so that they could talk.

Beck nodded as the girl talked she listened and kept her eyes on Shay's beautiful blue ones. "I spent most of my life with Ty and the others, but barely any of it with you Shay, I think I'd rather wander at your side and make sure you don't get lost." Beck chuckled and kept pace with the girl easily.

After Shay inquired if she could ask a question Back nodded. they where halfway down a empty hallway so no one was near by to over hear them. "Ask away. You're the boss apple sauce." Beck grinned and used her free hand to comb a few strands of hair out of her hazel eyes.

Beck exploded in laughter and immediately covered her mouth with her free hand so as not to be to loud. Her makeup-less eyes watered and her thin body shook. After a few moments hes calmed down and brushed her hand though her bangs. "I'm so sorry, that was incredibly mean of me." The girl patted Shay's shoulder softly.

"Ty is single, as am I. And Ami is alone as well." She finally explained. "As much as I would love to have a grand romance with Ty... I've known him since he was still in dippers. He's helped me though so much. If I dated him, no matter how great it would be for a while, eventually I would loose or corrupt the love I have for him." Beck sighed and reached down to grasp the other girl's hand in her own. "But from what I can tell... he really likes you. I really like you too." Beck flashed a toothy grin. and looked down at the floor for a moment.

"I have a question of my own to ask if you don't mind... Would you like to go to the Halloween dance with me?" She asked. There was an unmeasurable amount of her heart pushed into the question, it shown her fragile soul in it's most vulnerable light. A blush danced over her cheeks and she looked up at the girl's eyes for a slit second.

Athalia had stopped speaking, her mouth neither turned up or down, it was her poker face. She wouldn't let on to how she was feeling, she thought it was unnecessary to worry her friends. But the truth was, Athalia was hating herself at that moment. The other girls in their close knit group of friends were much more...desirable, than she was. It hadn't always been that way, once, she walked in the sun too. As much as Athalia wanted to deny that tragic birthday had an affect on her, it was true. She'd started covering up more, and restricted conversation mostly to their group. Save for Schuyler. There was something irresistible about her. Athalia waited to see when Beck would come back, but it didn't look like she was. Athalia bit her lip and looked away, and when no one was paying attention, she slipped away. Athalia disappeared behind a row of columns and practically ran to the bathroom. She stepped up to the sink and glared at her reflection. "You're so weak..", She murmured.

Athalia didn't want to become to stereotypical after-school special child. She didn't cut, she didn't do drugs or anything dramatic, she just had problems she wasn't willing to discuss with anyone else. Athalia cupped her hand underneath the faucet after turning on the cold water and splashed her face in an attempt to calm herself down. These sort of breakdowns were a rarity for her, but when they did happen it wasn't easy to recover very quickly. Her perfect make-up smudged and trickled down her cheeks more and more with every splash of water until she was clean, if a bit ruddy from scrubbing with her palms. "This has got to stop", Athalia whispered. She felt like a drama queen, and it sucked. In order to keep up appearances, she'd have to re-apply the make-up, problem was she only had the basics on her. Nude foundation, mascara, and burnt rose colored lip gloss. Athalia groaned and forcefully knocked her bag to the ground, annoyed at her inability to foresee a need to pack extra make-up. She found a small nub of eyeliner left, and hoped it would be enough added to the other stuff to keep the change less noticeable.

After she was done, the only evidence of her small breakdown was the increased intensity of her eye color. The redness had thrown the blue into much sharper relief, but then again, she doubted anyone else would pick up on that. She slowly emerged from the bathroom and contemplated her next move. Athalia wasn't sure if she should seek out Tyler and the others just yet. So she picked a random direction and began to walk.
