Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aria saw the blush and she had to look away with her own reddened cheeks. 'What in the seven levels of hell is wrong with me?! I'm not gay! I've liked boys all my life... Have I? Is that why I can't hold a boyfriend for the life of me?' She thought hard; so hard that the only thing that broke her out of her thoughts was Chrisma's innocent question about whether or not she should put her guitar away. Looking back at her, she said with a kind smile, "No, you can play something else. You're a really good..." She trailed off when she saw a few of the more drunk kids harassing a young girl about their age. (I was bored so I made an avatar of Kairi.) She sighed as she reached into her pocket to retrieve a cigarette box. "What do those morons think they're doing now? Excuse me for a second." Fishing a cigarette out of the box, she lit it and approached the group, the smoldering stick in her mouth making her look tougher.

Aria just shrugged a bit at this. "If you insist." When they got there, one of the guys approached them with a slightly drunken smirk. "Well, wa d' ya know. Aria 'as decided t' join us, boys. An' she brought a friend." The guy took a hold of both of their chins, only to have Aria jerk away from the touch without moving the rest of her body or taking her eyes off of him "Sod off, ya drunk low-lives." She said around a mouthful of cigarette, smoke being puffed out with each word she spoke. "We want the girl. So either back away slowly or face the hurt."

The guy smirked a bit at her before getting really close to her face, close enough where she could smell the alcohol on his breath. "You think you can take all of us on, little girl?" Before Chrisma even had time to respond to him getting in her face, Aria grabbed the guy's arm, threw him onto the ground, and twisted his arm painfully. Once he was on the ground, she calmly took her cigarette between her index and middle finger, took a long drag, before pulling it out of her mouth and blowing the smoke down into his face. "Maybe she can't. But I sure as hell can." Looking up at the girl, she motioned towards where they went with her head. The girl instantly complied, running past the stunned group to stand behind Chrisma. "Thank you, Chrisma-chan." She muttered gratefully, obviously knowing her name.

The girl blushed a bit at being so close to the other, but said nothing. Meanwhile, the leader had given in a while ago, causing Aria to release his. "And don't let me catch you harassing another girl again, Ya hear me?" Before she could even turn her back, she heard one of the guys mutter 'f**' under his breath. Whirling around again, she socked the person in the jaw, sending him a good five feet away from where he was standing. The group instantly scattered when the girl turned her glare towards them. Smirking in victory, she pulled the cigarette out of her mouth and let it fall onto the boys unconscious body before she walked back to the two other girls.

Aria simply smirked as she flipped some hair behind her ear. "It's what you get for hanging around these parts a good long while." When she released her hip, the girl couldn't help but look slightly hurt at her question. "Chrisma, how could you have forgotten me?" she whined, sticking out her lower lip in a pout. "We go to the same school, for goodness sake. It's me, Kairi."

Kairi couldn't help but giggle a bit at Chrisma as she stuttered and spazzed out. "It's okay. That situation was really stressful on me too. I hardly recognized you myself." She replied, trying her best to not make her feel so bad, sweet Kairi. "But, of course you can make it up." Aria simply watched the scene in silence, having nothing to say. Although she noticed Chrisma checking out the other girl's outfit, which was among one of the many reasons those drunk assholes were attracted to her. "Hmm... Could it be possible that that girl is gay? She thought to herself.
