Are You, Are You Coming? [Open]

It was the sad truth. Many people had only one parents- even no parents. People didn't live long in the districts. Here, maybe a bit longer but she rarely ever saw an old man or woman- never hand in hand or together.

She smiled softly, glad for someone to have found a love. What had she found? A creeper named Jace. Not really.... she chided herself. He wasn't a Creeper. He just wanted a friend. But if I hadn't run, I wouldn't have had bonding time with Ria.

She heard a thump. Then another. Shouts came from another floor... above most likely. Stomping of feet- cheering of kids. It could only point to one thing- a fight.

She scrambled up and looked down at Ria, "There's a fight going on upstairs. We should do something about it.[/i] [/center][/color]

[/b] Willow nealt down beside him and helped him pick up his books. Their hands brushed as he took them from her and she blushed deeply, shyly smiling. He grinned at her, arching his eyebrows and then she went off with a giggled good bye. Lark trailed behind her slightly- her pace not as quick as the long legged unicorn girl.

Bold knew that Willow would die for him or Lark- both even. She was... Different. He died for nobody and expected nobody to die for him. That was just the way he was. But he did enjoy the free servitude he was given by having a girl under his spell. He gave a jaunty smirk and strutted down the hallway to his next class, ignoring the fight going on above him.

Willow swayed down the hall in the gait she picked up from her sister- almost as though she floated and drifted through the halls like a Spector. She smiled as she caught a quick glance at Bold who walked in front of her. That peacock, she chuckled to herself as he winked at a passing girl.

Then he tripped over his pants- again. She sighed before she bent over to help him pick all his books up. With a murmured word, she gathered them up and handed them all back to him in a messy stack. as she handed them back, their hands brushed ever so slightly and Willow's cheeks immediately blossomed with a crimson blush. She giggled as he arched his eyebrows, then went off: building castles in the sky.

She remembered the first time she saw him. He was still taller than her then, with eyes More beautiful than the grasses of the fields just beyond the fences- well, when they weren't dead from drought, that is. His eyes had been so filled with pain lately. She assumed it was from the Hunger Games, but she a nagging feeling that Bold Jacoby was holding some great secret behind those eyes and he was wearing thin. Thinner and thinner.

(OMFG. I had this long, super elaborate post and I tried to post it but my internet gave out for, like, two seconds and it didn't post it. So now I have to retype it. Damn. x( It probably won't be as good as the first one just to let you know because I don't feel like retyping all that. Sorry.)

Ria was sitting and waiting for the fight to be over. Creed said that she thought it was probably safe to come out and she looked out. She popped her head back in and she white, like really, really white even for Creed. She looked shocked and confused and then she fainted in front of the door. Ria gasped and yelled, "Creed!" She rushed over to her and grabbed her wrist. She felt for a heartbeat and felt a gentle thump against her hand every few seconds. She sighed in relief and ran to the sinks.

She grabbed a paper towel and got it wet with cold water. She rushed over to Creed and wet her face and forehead and hands. She heard Kinetis's voice yell, "Let me in! Is she okay?"

Ria lifted up Creed away from the door and set her down on the floor. "She's fine. Just fainted." Ria called back to Kiinetis.

Kinetis entered and Ria gasped, her eyes wide. He was covered in blood and badly bruised. "Kinetis!" She yelled. She took the same wet cloth and wiped the blood of his face and hands. She dropped it on the floor, grabbed his face, and kissed him on the lips. The kiss lasted for about five seconds. "Are you alright?" She asked.

Right then she just saw he was hurt and was scared. But then she thought for a second and she realized it; HE was the one who was fighting. Now, Ria hated fights. But she saw Keenan walk by and realized the fight was between Kinetis and Keenan. She HATED Keenan and so that calmed her a bit. And this was Kinetis, the boy she loved. She could never be furious with him. But she was angry. On the brink of very angry in fact.

She didn't even wait for him to answer her. She glared at him angrily, cutting off whatever he was saying. He would have to suck up his pain without her help because she was NOT helping him get out of this mess with Keenan. That would be part of his punishment. Keenan was going to embarrass him badly and she was not going to help or try to stop it. The second part was that she was going to give him the cold shoulder until she felt like he had payed for his fighting misdeed.

She crossed her arms and kept glaring then she icily said, "You better get to class. Better hurry though. Wouldn't want you to get side tracked with another fun display of making people bleed." She looked at him angrily with just a tiny hint of disgustedness. she wasn't disgusted at him, she just wanted to make him feel bad for what he did.

She spun on her heels so that her back was facing him and her hair flipped quickly, nearly touching his nose. She walked over to Creed and said to him without looking back at him, "Leave. Now." He started to make some excuse and she stood up, ran towards him, and shoved him towards the door with all her strength. He stumbled back a few feet. "LEAVE!" She yelled, anger and sadness blazing in her red eyes. She was to seconds away from slapping him and she didn't want to do that but she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself. He was a smart boy. He knew he shouldn't beat people up. He just chose not to control himself.

"I'm trying to help another person you hurt." She said icily, gesturing to Creed. He deserved to feel highly bad for what he did. Even though she didn't like hurting him, he'd deserve whatever he got from her. "I'll see you in detention." She spat out. She turned her back to him and she added, "Unless you decide to ditch, bad-boy. She said sarcastically. Bad-boys were not cool, or hot, or brave in her mind. They were idiots who thought that they were all rock and roll. Like Keenan. It hurt her to think that Kinetis could ever be like Keenan, but he had been by beating up Keenan himself. And now he would be treated almost exactly like she would treat Keenan. But the difference between Keenan and Kinetis was that she loved Kinetis, and it was going to hurt as much as it hurt him to treat him that way. So now he had forced her to hurt herself because he had made her mad and she had to hurt him. And now she was mad again. Ria leaned against the sink and put her head in her hands, trying not to cry in front of Kinetis, who still hadn't left.

OK, this is an odd post. You can choose from two posts of Ria's. Whichever ones you want. Choose and then we'll just keep going and I'll erase the post you didn't choose from this post.


(This is the first.) Ria sighed. She was confused and she didn't know what to do. She loved Kinetis. This she knew. This thought fighting was an idiotic thing to do. It was wrong and it was harmful. But fighting for something...or someone you love...she decided that this was different. She brought her face out of her hands and slowly walked over to Keenan. She took both of his hands in her hands and smiled up at him. "Just...just promise me you'll never fight again unless you really feel that you need to. Unless...unless you're fighting for something you love." She said quietly.

If Kinetis promised her this than she decided that he would still be worthy of her love. And she would be worthy of his love. She enjoyed Kinetis's company and she was sure that she loved him. And she knew that everyone made mistakes sometimes she would probably make a mistake Kinetis thought was wrong and she could only hope that when she did he had the heart to forgive her. "If you promise me, I can forgive. I can also help get you out of this Keenan mess, if you like."


(This is the second.) Ria just didn't know. Kinetis hadn't HAD to fight for her. She would have said no to Keenan if he asked anyway. How could Kinetis have not known that? She loved Kinetis! She would NEVER love Keenan. The fact that he hadn't known this in the first place astonished her.

But Ria loved Kinetis. Ria would always love Kinetis. And Kinetis was worth forgiving. So she smiled, walked up to him, and hugged him. "I forgive you." She said. "But it was still wrong of you to beat up Keenan. So, instead of me not forgiving you, I will not help you with Keenan. You're gonna have to get out of that mess yourself. WITHOUT fist fights. And trust me, it will be a mess." A few moments later a devilish grin crossed her face and she said, "Although, Keenan could use a lesson as well...maybe ONE more fist fight, as I do hate his guts."

She smiled up at him happily and said, "Good luck. You'll need it." She grinned. Oh, Kinetis was still getting punished. Just not with her being mad at him anymore. He was dead with Keenan. And he was getting no help from her. She would just sit back and relax. And MAYBE, even though she loved Kinetis, she might just giggle a little if something Keenan did to him was really hilarious. Also, just for a little more punishment, there would be no more lip kisses for Kinetis until she felt he really needed one. She kissed Kinetis's cheek and said, "Help me with Creed." Her face became serious as she rushed over to Creed and tried to wake her.
