yay food x3

It was about 12:37 and student's pooled into the cafeteria, grabbing trays and headed to get different food. Most went to the stand serving french fries and other delicious fattening things. Others went to the taco stand, getting a hard shell filled with dat mouth watering greasy beef. Nah, Aislinn wasn't about all that grease and fat and cholesterol. Instead, the girl was stabbing her fork into a fruit salad... Alone. Well, I guess cause she didn't have many friends, Aj at alone most days. Sometimes the occasional dude or whoever would come over, sit down, try and start a conversation, usually the words "So I heard you have force field powers, that's hot." Or whatever. Usually she ignored them, sometimes giving them a push to the other side of the bench with a little shield of purple-y energy. And most the time they took the hint. But ever since that truth or dare topic, they just wouldn't gtfo of her bench.
I mean, srsly, the girl wants to eat alone!
Hopefully today was not one of those days. Taking a dainty bite out a strawberry, Aislinn flipped through her chemistry book. Studying was a fetish of hers. She was just reading about chemical bonds, when she felt a thump on the outermost side of her right thigh. Someone'd sat down beside her. Licking her lips of any excess fruit juice or whatevs, Aislinn looked down, covering her face with her hair, golden eyes rolling underneath her bangs. "Can I help you?" She asked, generously. Most the time, she didn't say a single word.

Oh, yes. Some kids were busy stuffing many assortments of food in their mouths. This young man, however, was not one of them. He was honestly not all that hungry and wasn't fond of the idea of having to wait long in line for a simple tray of food, most of which he didn't even like. He had no purpose in the cafeteria and was about to head out before someone familiar caught his eye. The gifted pondered for a moment whether or not it was worth it to walk over. Should he even go and try to greet her? The last time they had met up, things hadn't ended all that gracefully. In fact, every time they were together, everything was jumbled and and the two of them were always lost in each other's misunderstandings.
Honestly, things between them had been so confusing and crazy, he had just about given up. If there was something between the two of them, it would have happened, right? It would be nice to have a friend, though. It just felt he should stop confusing the poor girl and make things much easier for him.

Stephen took a seat down next to the red-head, noticing how she buried herself in her book. He made himself comfortable, crossing his arms and setting them on the table in front of them, "If you're not too busy." The comment was quiet, as usual from him, but still light-hearted. His ice, blue eyes gazed down at her, wondering if she'd even bother to go on answering after this point. Or would she just send him away? Walk away herself? He had seen her do similar things before to the men who approached her. Why should he be any different?

Jumping a bit, when she realized just who had sat down beside her, Linn was quick to slap her book close. Oh God, Stephen~ Tucking the hair behind her ear, decorated with an earring shaped like a dragon (how cute cx), the girl turned her head towards him, letting the bangs fall into her eyes. Yeah, that's right, she thought she looked hot.
"Oh Stephen... Hey." She said, blinking lightly, a small smile spread on her face. Her stomach knotted, over and over again, threatening to blow all the fruit she'd just eaten back up. Oh my God She said, nervously looking towards her fruit salad. Gently, she plucked a strawberry from the bowl, looked back up at Stephen, and took a small bite from it, leaving a small pink stain on her lips. "Oh course I'm not busy." It's been like, what, a handful of days since the urm... Incident in her dorm. She still couldn't looked at her ruffled sheets without getting upset.

Stephen almost smiled, feeling her jump ever-so-slightly when realization had struck her, the chemistry book slamming shut. He stared forward, away from Aislinn as she quickly assembled her composure together, glancing out of the corner of her gaze. Oh yus, she was on fire, baby. ;D Or, at least to him, she was. Others might find it a little awkward. x3 But, that was besides the point. If they were to be friends, he couldn't sit around and think about how cute she looked. Ahem.
He turned to look at her through white bangs of his own, "Aislinn." He nodded back gently in greeting as she made herself occupied with that strawberry. "I thought you were studying... erm... it looks like you do it a lot." Really? That's the best thing you could have come up too say? Damn, no wonder their conversations were awkward. Well, he supposed it was better than some dumbass pick up line she probably usually received.
He frowned, his mind flickering back to the time in her room, maybe she wasn't to talk to him yet. "Maybe I should go..."

Blinking, Aislinn licked her lips, and took another bite of the strawberry, throwing the leaves to the side of her bowl. What was she supposed to do know? She had nothing to busy her hands, and she didn't want to awkwardly keep them in her lap. She went to run them through her hair, but noticed the stick strawberry juice on them, then licked it off. Wow, graceful Aislinn. Oh my God! Why did I just do that ;n; The thought, rubbing her hand on the side of her kinda short plaid skirt, hoping Stephen wouldn't notice.
He gazed at her through his white bangs. He's so hooooooot~ Aislinn though, blushing. Gosh, why'd she think that? It was totes off limits. She would never admit to liking Stephen. NEVA. He commented something on her, studying habits, and she blushed even more. That's so embarrassing! Okay, so AJ would have to admit, there was some awkwardness in their conversation. Was Stephen... nervous? Never. He'd never get nervous, much less over her. They were just friends... right? Upon his proposal to go, Linn acted a little rash, grabbing his arm, and henceforth, breaking the touch barrier. Those girly magazines always said that was the first step into flirting.
So, this is just fucking great.
"No, no! It's okay. I could use some company. I kinda eat alone just about everyday..." She admitted, blushing even moar. Fft, as if it was possible. Quickly, she uncurled her hand from around his forearm and put it awkwardly in her lap.

Oh, well, this dude over here could think of a few things she could do to keep her hands busy. ;D /shotdownplz.
Joking aside, he couldn't help but actually smile this time around as she fumbled around with both the strawberry juice and her red hair, though not commenting on it as to not embarrass her further. The same with her blushing, with each new shade of red she turned, he found it increasingly difficult to hide his amusement. In turn, his icey gaze flickered between her and the rest of the dining room. The entire time, he tried to reassure himself. Alright, friends... That's all they were. It was for the best. [strike]Fuck it. You wanna stop all the bullshit and go make out in the lounge?[/color] The young man frowned. Really, why was this so damn difficult?
Stephen sighed and had started to get up and walk away, pausing when she had grabbed his arm, much like before. Alright, he had sure as hell never ready any girly magazine, but this common sense was starting to kick in. Quietly, he nodded and sat back down next to her. "How could that be?" he asked her, wondering aloud. A girl like her eating alone? He blinked, "I'd have started keeping you company sooner if I'd known." Because that's what friends were for, yo. Ahem.

sorry for theaifhgsoergs post. ;w; i r tired.

it's quiet alright. :3


Well, this was some deep shit she was in. A just couldn't help but notice as Stephen glanced around the cafe. Prolly checking out that new girl's ass. So totes isn't talking about lil Kido. Like forreal doe ;n; This was a baaaad idea. What were they going to talk about? Aislinn's aloneness at lunch? That was just about the second to most embarrassing topic. Aside from the dream she'd had where Stephen'd- /shot.
Back on topic, she kinda forced her blush to go away and smiled at Stephen, and crossed her legs, smoothing the skirt over top of them. "I'm not a fan of most people... Except for you of course, love. AJ thought, kicking herself for that one. She was going to have to stop this if she wanted to maintain their friendship. I mean, if they did take their... relations to the next level, wouldn't Stephen just use her and lose her? He seemed like the type. Ever since she'd laid eyes on him at the game of Truth or Dare in the forest, she'd thought that.
"But, it doesn't mean that you have to sit with me everyday. I know you probably have more important things to do around school. Pretty girls to flirt with" Aislinn mumbled under her breath, hoping he wouldn't catch it. Daringly, she kept his gaze.

Mmmm - 'dat arse, I mean, what? Stephen coughed. He saw nothing. "I'm sorry. You striked me as more of an... outgoing kinda girl." The young man commented, not even bothering to go into the reasons behind this thought. If anything, her attitude when they first met gave him the impression she found no trouble in finding a... companion when she pleased. In the sense that she was simply more carefree, of course. Ahem.
Now, if she hadn't been staring him down, there would have possibly been a good chance that he would have noticed that last part. But she did, and so he did also. Passively, Stephen hid his small chuckle with the back of his hand. "Well, maybe I enjoy your company?" He suggested, not flinching away from her gaze. "I think I can afford to spend some time with a friend." And yeah, he supposed there were other girls he could be trying to win over, but he'd much rather spend time sitting next to Aislinn; enjoying this more sensitive side of her.
Stephen shrugged, "If you're not doing anything right now, would you want to go out and do something? No catches or stupid games." He finally showed a little emotion, giving her a small smile back.

Oh great... He'd heard her little 'comment'. With a glance as if to say 'I regret nothing', she smiled back. "I'd have you know that I am outgoing. I just don't enjoy unwanted meatheads trying to get in my pants." Aislinn laughed, her cheeks flushed in a ... Happy sorta way. It sort of died down... "Yep, friends." She said in this... Tone. God help the poor girl, she couldn't help but splay her emotions all over her face. Okay okay. Just stop. She couldn't act, think, or show anything about her and Stephen being more than friends. Because she didn't want to get her heart broken. Damned heart. Standing, she picked up her tray. "Yeah, that sounds like a good time." Pausing... She added "Only if you come with me to throw away my tray." AJ smiled sheepishly.

Stephen smirked and looked down, "And you've fit me into that category more than once, I'm sure?" He remembered the look on her face when she had realized that his ring had gone missing, yet she still put up with him. His face straightened out again as he caught onto her disappointment, looking at her curiously. Strange, he expected to be some out of place tension between the two of them, but he had thought she'd appreciate his little effort to push the friend-zone. Yeah, that's right. The guy is the one throwing the friend-zone around. He tried not to let it show that he had noticed her strange tone, smiling a bit in agreement to her deal.
He quietly nodded and stood up along side her, grabbing her science book while he was at it; hardly noticing the looks of a few guys looking their way and staying in toe with the red-head. "You know how to swim, right?" He asked her passively.

Dear God please help this child. "And you've put me into a different category?" A asked, realizing a second after she'd said it that he'd been the one that kissed her, not her kissing him. Thoughts were a little hazy on whom'd kissed whom, because in the spurr of the moment, they'd both kissed back. Woah ho ho. Hold the phone now. Yea, shut up, Aislinn'd kissed back, but that didn't mean that she was going to not assert the friend-zone shit. Okay, yeah, everyone knew they both just wanted to go sit in the lounge and make-out but life had to be so much more fucking complicated than that >:U
So Aislinn threw her disposable tray into the garbage, reaching for her science book. "Yeah, yeah. I'm basically a fish out of water." She said. That was a complete lie. AJ was more like.... lead. She just sank when she hit the water. But she wasn't about to admit any weakness that Stephen could pick at. She'd just have to make the best of it... Making some excuse to sit on the bank and tan or something, and let him look at her glorious body in the sun as it turned a nice golden color and /shot

Stephen looked thoughtful for a few moments as he walked alongside her. "I did." He told her, putting emphasis on the 'did'. "But now, I'm not so sure." Alrighr. Yeah, unlike her, he admitted it. The man had had a thing for Aislinn; but now he wasn't sure what exactly he thought of her as. At the moment, though, he was settling with being whatever he thought she wanted to be. Back in the friend-zone, that was alright with him. He still got to stare at her half naked when they reached their destination. /shot.
He smiled softly at her, "Great. So we'll head off to the lake then?" It sounded less like a suggestion and more like he had already made up his mind. "Do you need to grab anything before we go?" Stephen questioned her, the dorms weren't too large of a sidestep out of the way on the walk to the forest. She might wanna drop off that text book as well.

Yea yea yea. Okay, things didn't seem as bad as they were. Or as bad as Aislinn thought they were. Slowly she nodded, kind of insinuating that she indeed would like to go to her room and like, change into a swimsuit. She had one, just for the occasion. "It'd be nice to change into a swim suit...." She said like, in a duhh tone, a kidding smile creeping onto her face. Lightly, she walked out of the Cafe and towards her dorm.
Oh gawddddd, am I really doing this? I think I'm really doing this~ She squeaked, in her mind of course. Yea, who knew what the fuck would go down today?

Stephen simply nodded understandingly. And while going with her to the dorm probably struck him as the slightest to be the polite thing to do, the majority of his feels simply said it was not a good idea. You know, because she'd be changing... Probably into something smexy. Even if he just waited outside her door and in the hallways it'd still might label him as a bit strange, and then the entire walk to the forest would be pretty awkward.
He just knew it. So, he started to turn away, giving her a small smile instead. "I'll meet you down at the lake." Stephen called after her lowly, heading out and twords the forest.

Once Stephen was far out of sight, Aislinn scooped her books up instead of holding them all cute and whatnot, then sprinted to her dorm. Shet, this was gonna take time. She grabbed some makeup remover and took the eye liner on her face off, then quickly slapped on some waterproof masquara, making sure her eyelashes look attractive and shiz. Then she stripped down, and pulled out her swimsuit. Oh yea, smexy time go. She grabbed a pair of denim shorts and a tanktop, threw them on, then slipped on some flip flops. Oh yea, don't forget a beach towel. She grab it, then was out the door on the way to the lake.

Time skip~

Moving out from the trees, Aislinn searched around the little Lake clearing for Stephen, all the while setting her towel down, and kicking off her flip flops... getting ready to undress...

It would have taken her a bit some time maybe for him to find her, having grown impatient of sitting in the hot weather and waiting for her, he had already changed into a simple pair of trunks. After that, it didn't take long at all to throw himself into the water, getting adjusted to the abnormal freezing tempature of the lake. Having still more time yet, he climbed out and sat on a large slate of granite, letting the sun warm him up and dry all the water away. "Aislinn!" He called for her name, trying to catch her attention. His hair was messy from the short swim and he only messed it up more trying to absent-mindedly flatten it out. And oh yus, in case you were wondering, he did have a very finely-built body that he had no issues in showing off. xP

Stephen had realized she was undressing, he jumped down unto the level ground with her, a warm smile on his face. Well, now didn't she look - ahem. nice.
