xxxxxadmittedly, the boy had always assumed that people like jake had dated a lot of people; whether the relationships were healthy or not he didn't care. or, he hadn't at the time that he'd seen them take place. to be honest, reuben had never really noticed the sixteen year old around until he thought about it. they had at least most of their classes together, if not all of them, and he still couldn't recall a time where his 'not-very-acquaintance' had sat alone; this didn't particularly mean he was dating someone who was near him, but he did recollect, in the past month of school, seeing him with at least two people who seemed like they could've been...possibly more than friends.
xxxxxraising an eyebrow in mock interest, he sheepishly offered a grin. it wasn't like him to warm up to people easily. actually, it wasn't like him to warm up to most people easily. his earliest friend was easy, obviously, because they were in preschool. and one friend who he'd met in third grade -- that was easy, since they had been so approachable. making friends was trivial to reuben, even though he'd like some. letting his gaze trail back over jake's physical characteristics, it'd eventually fall on his face. "i already knew that," he murmured, somewhat smugly. "i think you know my name, too. based on that awful nickname."
xxxxxwatching the fellow sophomore's expression, he bit his lip softly. "well i mean, that was a sort of stupid question, but..." he trailed off, a jokingly playful tone lining his voice. at first, he was serious with the whole 'i don't want to be friends with anyone, especially not you' attitude, but now it was kind of failing. "i guess it's cool. i wanna go back to norway one day, though. how about you?" letting his cheek rest on his hand, he'd brush his hair back with the opposite hand but continue to stare in attempt to convey the point that he was interested in the conversation.

athena - the socialite
the dirty blonde chuckled, running a hand through her hair to flip it slightly. "hah, you must be forgetting about thirteen year old athena. i didn't even know how to talk to guys." she responded with a light smirk. thena didn't pay attention to the girl behind her, keeping her gaze locked on dakota. when he winked, she winked right back. two could play that game.

His lack of having not noticed the younger individual sooner was something that he was currently regretting, even if they did happen to start off rather poorly. He was definitely more intrigued by Reuben, especially since he appeared to be less hostile and a little more comfortable toward the whole interaction. Deciding it wouldn't be too helpful of him to begin pushing buttons again, Jake would choose to train his full attention on his classmate, uninterested in being too haughty to the point where the opposing would respond in a tense manner. The jock wasn't much informed on his love life at all; he wasn't even sure on what his preference was for gender, if there was one at all. He'd never taken much notice to him, let alone who he might've had a relationship with.

Having not really thought on whether he was aware of his name or not, the dark-haired male would simply nod, offering him a slight smirk of sincerity. "I try not to assume everyone knows my name, even though they definitely should." He'd hum playfully, fidgeting about in his chair briefly to get more comfortable. "Of course I do.. we have most of the same classes together, and.. the whole 'icebreaker' thing is actually, believe it or not, helpful. Sometimes, that is." Jake would chuckle quietly, turning himself in his seat in order to face Reuben a little better, gaze admirably scanning his features. He couldn't resist wanting to get closer to him, especially since he was easing up more. "I think the nickname is good. You don't?" He'd question in mock uncertainty, flashing him a brisk wink shortly after.

Scoffing when his presumption would be confirmed, he would roll his eyes only slightly, propping an elbow on his chair. Listening to the response, he would take a moment to observe Reuben's posture and expression, seeking to meet his almost matching glance briskly. "I don't blame you.. it's a good place, but.. America is pretty okay, too." He'd offer his input on the whole subject, rubbing idly at the side of his neck with his free hand. "I want to visit Norway again as well. For like.. nostalgia effect, and all of that." Lowering his gaze for only a small duration, he'd smile to himself, eventually looking back to the other sophomore, a faint snicker escaping his lips.

Dakota giggled, his deep brown eyes set on hers. " Lets just put it out there that 13 year old Mrs. Athena Diana St. Clair was a wonderful friend and truly made my middle school years better " he said softly. In middle school, Dakota' and Athena had been good friends and often had hung out at each others houses, everyone made fun of them but Athena didnt take it. She put them in their places. Once Dakota started to date a girl named Ruth, they stopped hanging out. Dakota secretly missed being Athenas best-friend. But he was glad it ever happend. " Plus she was pretty cute" he said, showing off her best smile for the girl.

athena - the socialite
she grinned softly. "wow, dakota. was cute? i'm so offended." she said dramatically, putting her head in her hands as if she was crying. she chuckled and looked back up. "let's not forget the one time we were watching finding nemo in my theatre and you started crying when marlon and nemo reunited." she teased, crossing her arms.

the princess || animal shelter || fifteen years old || tagged; elijah

bianca roamed the halls after first period. she thanked the heavens that she had a free hour then. she looked at her phone and decided that with the time she had for second hour she should go over to the small animal shelter near the school. she loved animals. and puppies were not an exception. she made the walk over to the small building and entered. the halls were clean and you could hear the dogs barking. immediately she headed to the dog section. whenever she came here she just wanted to adopt every little fella and love them.

she made her way through the cages petting a couple dogs between the bars here and there until she noticed a boy. he looked familiar. maybe he was in her fourth or third hour? she couldn't quite place where she had seen him. she made her way over and noticed that he was looking at an adorable little chocolate lab. he's adorable. she said.

Dakota looked at her and laughed " thanks for the reminder, remember when you came over to my house and watched Toy Story? and you tried to make me food and almost burnt down my house? then we just ended up eating ramen?". He threw his shirt back on and walked over to her. " Or that one time we both tried to skip school but our parents caught us at the park?" He smirked. he felt a pang of sadness wash over him as he thought of the the time they had kissed. her lips had been so soft, he looked at her lips now. they hadent changed. still plump and soft. he thought about his first, and only kiss. it was all so fast, he wished for more. but he wouldnt say it.

xxxxxstaring at the other male for a moment, he'd sigh softly. in reuben's opinion, football players were the scum of the earth. for all he cared, they could disappear and he wouldn't notice. that's simply because he'd gotten used to the fact that none of them were his friends; he probably would've liked them if he could've related. then again, the phrase great minds think alike also ended with but fools rarely differ. so, maybe it was a good thing that someone from a different social group was making conversation with him. well, at least trying to make conversation. although, it somewhat boosted the fifteen year old's confidence that someone would want to approach him in general.
xxxxxtruthfully, it wasn't hard to have known who jake was. after all, his name had probably been heard by everyone in the grade at least once. if not in conversation, then about something he did. he was just an all around extroverted person, reuben supposed. "you actually listen to those?" he questioned, a mockingly surprised expression masking his face. if not for his lack of attention in large social situations, he probably would've known more people in the classes. but instead, during those games, he stared at the clock until it was his turn to speak. then, after, he'd return his attention to the clock, as if it could've ran away while his awareness was low. "no, it's awful." he sincerely answered, teasingly grimacing at the wink before chuckling softly.
xxxxxa sheepish smile lined the corners of his mouth at the sixteen year old's response. although he was petulant at the beginning of the interaction, his acquaintance's playful disposition helped make him...less mad. intrigued by the new, somewhat more serious discussion beginning, he'd fixate his eyes on jake's own, slightly darker pair. "i mean, i don't remember a lot..." he started, exhaling quietly. "i was too young at the time we moved. from what i've heard, though, it's kind of similar to america...like, uh, they try to make everyone equal, i guess?" he murmured, biting his lip.

"Oh hey, yeah. I call him Rocco." he said with a smile. "I've seen you around school, what brings you here?" he said getting up and leaning against the wall actually curious as to why she came. He looked her up and down, not in an offensive way, just to look. The lab yipped for attention and Elijah sat on the floor and pet the pup through the kennel fencing.
