Let's Play a Game Shall We? {semi-lit+ ~ romance}

[eden .]

Nathan raised an eyebrow as Matthew approached before snorting. "Doesn't count if it's not a lady," Nathan responded genially, a sleepy and bored sort of grin on his face. He shrugged easily as Matthew suggested a real smack-down, saying, "Sorry, I don't really do fights. Physical ones, that is."

He was probably coming across as a coward and not overly manly, but Nathan liked to play smart. He was a total wuss compared to these guys, although it wasn't like he was without muscle. It was just that in a purely physical fight he'd fail. It was just how it was. Besides, Nathan enjoyed more intellectual fights than ones where you roll around in the dirt for a while. It was rather degrading, actually, to do such a thing. And if he was going to lose...well, there went his legitimacy. Between turning down a fight and losing one, Nathan would take turning it down.

With some amusement Nathan watched Jace stalk off to whatever crevice he was from and Matthew stepping away, as did Lidia and Rose. Well that was fun. Smiling and humming an aimless tune, Nathan slunk after the other stragglers to join the school in the gymnasium for the announcements. Seeing that most of the seats were filled and all of the available ones were next to the people he hated, Nathan settled for leaning against the door frame, watching the crowd and podium patiently.

ι'd lικe тo тнιnκ ι'м shy, yes. I am quiet, and on some levels weird to people. So what I don’t talk to them. I’m
normally hard-headed and stubborn according to my older brother. I can be loud and fun but only when I have friends around me. I’m fairly shy at first because I have huge trust issues.

.:Headmaster:.

"Welcome back students!" came the loud voice, once everyone was seated, amplified by the speakers. The headmaster stood upon the stage, looking over the crowd that filled the bleachers and the chairs in between the bleachers that seated the staff and helpers. He waited for everyone became quiet and settled in before he continued speaking. "We are welcoming our seventh grade class this year, and, as of every year, please remember to be respectful to your younger peers. How did you feel when you arrived here? Scared, lost, and how many times did you stumble upon the wrong classroom? So please, don't hesitate to ask if you are new this year, the students do not bite, and for the first week, there will be teachers standing outside the doors to help direct you to your correct rooms."
There was a grumblded response from the students, and the headmaster paused before going on. "Now, we are also welcoming two new students, tenth graders, please stand," he said, and the two students who had been forced to sit at the edge of the bleachers stood slowly, faces red in embarrassment. A clapping filled the small gymnasium, before dying down quickly.
The headmaster continued to talk for about a half an hour, giving a speech and then going over the rules they heard every year- excpet one. Right as the students were about to give a collective sigh of releif, he added one more thing. "Now, I've had many complaints of this, so we have been forced to make it a new school rule. There will be absolutely no PDA displayed on school grounds, or at school activities. Hugs and hand holding are allowed, and nothing beyond that. Also, any fights that are reported to the office will be dealt with swiftly and effectivly. There were far too many last year, and even if there are fights off grounds that are reproted, they will receive the same treatment. We have a very stirct ero tolerance bullying policy, and I expect everyone to respect that. Now, we will rise for our national anthem, and you are dissmissed to first hour classes. Thank you!"

Rose grinned, smiling brightly. "Thank you!" she said with a relieved sigh. She had doubts that he would agree... "Would you possibly be able to come tonight or tomorrow? I am holding a party on Friday since my mom is out, and I want it mowed... The horse pastures need a mowing too, but you don't need to do those if you don't want to... I suppose I can do those." The yard itself was an acre of land, taking quite a while to mow even on the riding lawn mower they had. She walked through the gymnasium doors with Mathew, sitting next to him so they could get it sorted out. The horse pastures were large too, and they hda three- a small one for begining riders and lessons, and two large ones for their herd of horses to graze. Her mother ran the barn, boarding horses and giving lessons. Rose enjoyed helping...
She listened attentively to the headmaster as she always did during assemblies, and she supposed Mathew knew she would answer his reply after he finished. She stood respectfully during the national anthem, lipping the words since she was embarrassed to sing in fornt of people- even in a group. She stood as everyone esle did, waiting patiently until she owuld be able to get out.

Jace sat with his sunglsses down in the seat farthest away from the stage, and stuck headphones in one ear to drown out the sound of the headmaster talking on and on. Her heard this speech year after year, and he sat in this spot every year, shrouded in shadows- the lightbulb above this spot had been burnt out for years, and it was a favorite make out spot for basketball game attendees. He had used it many times before, but the rules had been looser before, now it would become even more watched and even more coveted. Usually, he could scare away most people sitting here though. He tuned into his music as the hedamaster spoke, giving someone the middle finger to one of the preppy girls who turned and asked him to turn it down since 'he wasn't here to be listening to music, he was here to participate'. She rolled her eyes but lef thim alone, which suited him fine. He rose to place his hand over his heart as the national anthem came over the speakers, crackly and bad definition, and gazed blankly at the flag instrad of singing like many others. He was first to jump over the railing halfway down the bleachers and swing onto the floor, dusking out the door in front of the crowd, setting off down the hall to the senior lockers quickly.

{ After this post, I want everyone to post at least once before anyone doubl posts, so I can see that everyone is caught up ^^ I will do this periodically to see who is still here and if anyone has left, and to give everyone a chance to catch up. I will edit in Rose's post in a moment ^^
@ Pie, please remember to try and keep your posts a paragraph per character [ six to eight lines ] ^^ }
