Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Then don't say it again," Keith taunted. "I won't listen anyways," his smirk grew wider, if that was even possible. He glanced over at poor Lia, who'd just collapsed from embarrassment from the fanboys closing in on her. He sighed. "You know, if you really want to help your princess, you should get going prince charming. Lia looks like she's about to faint any moment now. Unless...you're afraid she'll slap you again." His smirk turned into a bit of a sadistic grin. However, that grin quickly faded as he saw Lia's red face with tears threatening to spill out from her eyes as she tried to keep a straight face. He briskly walked over, whispering a few ancient words so that the ground trembled a bit. Not too much, but just enough so that the fanboys blocking his way would trip and clear his path. He knelt down to Lia's level and embraced her, shushing her a bit to calm down and placing his head on top of hers.

Ailuchia stiffly replied, "I'm fine, really, thanks" She turned around and saw Keith with Liamei, and she tried hard to hold back a giggle and looked at Adam, who was being held back by twins, one chocking him around the neck behind him, the other one just holding onto his arm. She wonder what he'd do now

As Alex was pulled away from Lia and she got smaller and smaller, he sighed. "It's like I didn't save her at all," he mumbled. Her cheeks were getting so heated up both Alex and Adam couldn't stand watching, although it was more of Adam. Adam was ready to dive into the crowd, but he was still losing confidence. Alex shot a determined look towards Adam but by that time, Keith was already on the move. Alex palmed his face, knowing what this would do to Adam. "Wow, he's cool," he murmured sarcastically. Adam's fists were trembling. He broke away from the girls' hold. "Sorry, girls," he said apologetically. In a flash, he was through the crowd and his fist was drawn back. But Alex was faster. He was just as alert and grabbed Adam's wrist. "Stop. You know what will happen if we start a fight on school grounds," Alex warned.

Keith felt the girl in his arms stiffen, and he lifted his head from hers to see Lia's face, porcelain white, hands trembling. He followed her petrified stare to Adam, who's fist was drawn back and shaking in fury, but Alex had a firm grip on his wrist, preventing him from causing any damage. He sighed. Adam, blind with jealousy, must've come to hit him, and Lia thought that he was trying to hit her. He shook his head, his serious side showing a bit. Why was the world full of idiots that misunderstood situations too much? He looked down at Lia again, trembling terribly.

'Then again, Liamei had always been easily scared,' he thought to himself. Gently, he nudged her, and lifted her up slowly, using his body as a support for her. He looked at everyone and sighed. "You know, if we don't get to the orientation soon, Headmaster Ruland is gonna have all our asses in detention," he said out loud to everyone, though his comment was directed toward Ai, Alex, Adam, Lia, and Michelle. Gently, he guided Lia through the crowded hallways, unaware of the muderous looks practically burning a hole through his back.

Adam caught a glimpse of the expression on Lia's face. 'Damn it,' he thought. He had given her the wrong impression... again. Adam watched Keith's back while he walked away, holding Lia in his arms. He drew his arms back to his side adjusted his schoolbag. "Let's go," he said, to no one in particular.

Yet another sigh escaped Alex's lips when Priscilla took the opportunity to grasp onto his arm while he was making his escape towards the cafeteria. "There's nothing going on between me and Lia," he explained calmly. He had considered many times that if he said there was something going on between them, Priscilla would give up, but then again, she wasn't that type of girl. Alex didn't have the courage to glance down at the terror of Priscilla's horribly splattered face. "Uh..." He shot a glare at Adam.

Meanwhile, Adam was sulking, but he saw the message in Alex's eyes. Adam walked by Alex and wrapped his arm around his shoulder, pulling him away from Priscilla. "Hey man, let's walk together to orientation." Alex mentally sighed in relief. "Oh, alright. See you!" he shouted to Priscilla without looking back. "Thanks Adam," he said in a lower tone. Adam shrugged.

Michika heard the commotion outside and rolled her eyes. She stepped out onto the stage, where Headmaster Ruland was already there. He nodded at her as she stepped up onto the podium, where a microphone stood. She spoke up in front of everyone, or rather, those who had gathered, "Hello fellow students, teachers, and Headmaster Ruland. I am Michika Himeka, your student council historian and announcer for this year." After the applause died down, she continued, "I'm pleased to present, the rest of the student council members," The applause came again and she didn't bother to die it down to buy time from the rest of the members.

Ailuchia and Liamei both walked up in sync to the mic as Ailuchia announced "Hello all, I'm Aliluchia, your vice president!" She was about to turn the mic over to Lia when she noted that she had not completely recovered yet, so she spoke up for her, "Your secretary for this year is Liamei!"
