Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chailee slipped her bag over her shoulder as she glanced around at the other students who were making their way down the hallway to the exit. The school day had finally come to an end and normally she'd be hurrying off to the stables to do some riding, but she had some things to take care of.

First, she needed to find one of her classmates. She'd fallen asleep in her last class and missed all of the notes. She didn't make it a habit to doze in class but it happened from time to time. Another reason she was just average in her classes.

Through the milling people, Chay caught sight of a certain red head. Holding her bag against her body, she worked her way through people, trying to catch up to her. It wasn't until they were outside that Chailee was finally able to break away from the crowd. "Hey!" She hurried over. "Millicent!" She barely knew the girl, but being classmates at least afforded her the other girls name.

"I am sorry to stop you." She said as she drew up to the girls side. "But I, um...I was wondering if I could copy your notes from our last class?" She blushed slightly. "I sort of missed copying them down." Needless to say, Chay probably didn't need to specify -why- she had missed writing down the notes. "I swear I'll be quick. I just uh, I wasn't paying attention and I really need to do well in the class and...Sorry. I am rambling." She laughed lightly.

"Thanks!" Chailee beamed at the girl when she agreed to let her copy notes. Without them, Chay would have been in quite the predicament should the teacher decide to spring a pop quiz or something on them. So, she happily followed the girl over to the table.

Pulling out her own notebook Chay looked a bit sheepishly at Millie. "I...uh...I sort of fell asleep." She laughed as she sat down on the bench with her notebook and a pen in front of her. "History just...it bores me. I've never much liked the class but I get through it."

She deftly flipped to the next available page as Millie pulled out her own notebook. Chailee noted the Star Wars design and smiled. "You like Star Wars I take it? I've seen them once before but I am not a big fan of sci fi kind of things." With care, Chailee took the notebook offered and flipped it open to a page dated for that day. Thankfully it didn't seem like there had been a terrible amount of notes that day. Only the front of the page.

Chailee also noted the doodles that Millie had said would be there. They ran up and down the margin and included everything from people and animals to random shapes and designs. It made the notebook more interesting to look at!

"Do you like to draw?" She questioned as she began to scribble down the notes as quickly as possible so as not to keep the girl waiting for too long.

Chay looked at Millie with wide, surprised eyes. "No he didn't! Oh god, that would have been so embarrassing if he had done that to me." She groaned. "I am going to have to make sure not to fall asleep in that class anymore. It's so hard though with how he drones on and on." Not to mention I am not always getting much sleep.

"I didn't see the new movie." Chailee admitted. "I mean, I think the series is ok, but I am not a big fan? Really though I am not a big TV watcher. I prefer to bury my nose in books." She laughed and shrugged. "And those I tend towards fantasy than scifi."

Chay continued to jot down the notes as fast as she could while talking. Every once in awhile she'd glance at some of the art that was doodled on the side as she went. Especially if said art intersected with any notes or seemed to pertain to them. "I can't really draw." She laughed. "I do like to horseback ride and play my flute though. They're the extent of my hobbies if you include reading."

"You take some really clear notes. I am almost done!" She grinned as sh continued to scribble away. It was obvious her penmanship was far from neat and tidy in her haste but it was legible enough.

Chailee chuckled. "I don't know how much I'll like reading a sci-fi novel but I am willing to give it a shot if you will give a fantasy one a go. I'll look through what I have and bring something in for you!" As much as Chailee didn't stray far from her fantasy novel settings maybe having someone else offer her a book to read that they believed was good may help her expand her horizons? After all, there was no better way in finding a book than when it's suggested by a friend. "I have quite a collection so I am sure I can find something you might like!"

By this point, Chailee's notes were getting more and more scribbly as her hand began to grow tired from the furious writing. She didn't want to keep her schoolmate any longer than she had to so the speed writing resulted in rather sloppy notes on her part. It didn't matter though as long as she was able to read it. Looking at the mess she had furiously written she eyed it dubiously. Well I'll be able to read most of it I think and figure out the rest form there. "That's perfect!" She said with a grin, taking a moment to look up from her work. "He really does sound like that guy!" With a giggle she returned to the notes. "I guess History could be more interesting. I don't know. I just have a hard time with all the dates and names thrown at us. It all starts to just merge into a big mess for me." She shrugged as she continued to write.

With a flourish she wrote out the last two lines of notes that Millie had jotted down before sighing and dropping her pen on her notebook with a sigh. "There! All done." She flipped Millie's notebook closer and handed it back to her. "Just in time for you to go take a nap, too!"

After stretching her poor hand out, Chailee grabbed her pen, closed her notebook, and stuffed both of them back into her bag. "I'll take a look at books for you tonight. I have a few in mind. Have you ever read Harry Potter cause if not, I know what I'll be bringing you."

Chailee giggled. "Believe it or not, there are people out there who haven't read it. I am a proud Hufflepuff, nice to meet ya!" With a grin Chailee stood up from the bench she had perched herself on. "I love expansive worlds cause then you can just imagine yourself in them too and it's just great! It really opens up creativity. At least for me."

The bluenette stared at Millie for a moment before laughing at the blush and confession. "Liking book sis definitely not an issue. I'll make sure to find something you like, especially now that I know you like Harry Potter."

Slipping out from behind the bench, Chailee grabbed her book bag which she had deposited on the ground and slipped her own notebook inside of it. Slipping the messenger bag over her shoulder's she blushed a bit at Millie's comment. "I'll try not to, promise." She offered the girl a grin. "And yea, I'll see you tomorrow!"

She finally parted ways with the girl, making her way to the bus stop. I think maybe I've got a new friend. That pleased Chailee beyond imagination. The entire way home she thought about what book might be best to bring Millie.
