she rolled her eyes. "i'm NOT a chicken." she said, laughing at the memories. as he grabbed her hand and whisked her off, she swore she heard her friend grumbling around. thena remembered the day so well though. she had been on the swing. it was quite high and her legs couldn't even touch the ground. next thing she knew, dakota was in front of her. he had been pushing her and she slowed to a stop, meeting his gaze. he had came in for the kiss and she followed along, running her hand through his soft hair and closing her eyes. "very true, i think susan back there was about to claw my eyes out." she said, chuckling lightly. "those were the days, you know?"

dakota smiled widely, " you know ive missed you like crazy? like my mom still talks about you to this day, and swears we had a thing for each other." he said, " of course we didnt" he added quickly. even if he still did like her, he wasnt about to admit it and have his heart broken because Athena wouldn't go for him anyways. " and yeah, that kiss was a good one, i think. ive never kissed anyone else." he admitted softly.

she smiled softly to herself as the two of them went on a trip down memory lane. "i miss your mom. she was always so nice to me." she said to herself. since thena didn't get to see her mom often, dakota's mother was the closest thing she had to a mother-figure. except of course not because of her feelings for dakota. "i miss you too. oh please, we totally had a thing back in the day. i wouldn't have let you kiss me if i didn't like you." she said with a sideways smile. "really? i've kissed a few guys but i didn't feel the same spark with them. with you it was like fireworks going off in my head."

Elijah chuckled"Who said I wasn't ok with that?" he said. "Wanna play with him?" Elijah asked pointing to Rocco. They had a door past all the kennels that lead to two separate fenced in mini yards for potential adopters to play with the dogs and get to know them. But, since they were the only ones there he could take them back there.

After a long, boring lecture from her teacher, Annabeth managed to escape out of her class. She went back to her locker to get her books for the next period. Annabeth stopped for a moment, as an idea popped into her head. Maybe she wouldn't go to class. She had been quite stressed out recently with homework, planning, and even managing to tutor some of the students she had been assigned to. Never in her life had she felt like this, and it was starting to scare her. To others, Anna was the girl who could do it all. She was the girl who never took a break. And when she started to break that reputation... it made her question herself.

Anna took the hair tie off of her wrist and pulled her ginger hair back into a messy bun. She put away the books she had taken out moments before and instead, swapped them for her homecoming binder and her special pen. She sat down in the little corner between her locker and the water fountain and got to work. It was sure hard at first. She felt guilty skipping a class... but then again, she saw people do it all the time. She twisted the pen around in her finger thinking. They still didn't have a them for the dance. She went across her checklist and checked off music. Next to it she put in parenthesis "Iris". She hoped that Iris meant what she said about being able to hook them up with some music. If not, she could always do it herself... but it felt good to check something off the list.

Inevitably, the slightly older sophomore would begin to find himself examining his acquaintance's features, definitely engrossed by not only who he was, but also for his outer appearance. He'd hate to say that was the reason behind interacting with Reuben, but it certainly was; now, he was feeling more drawn to him because of the decency between their conversing since the initial interaction was done. Typically, the jock would continue to keep up his charismatic and highly teasing ways, especially since whoever he'd be talking to wouldn't necessarily care and would more so be flattered by it. The blond, however, took him off guard for sure since he expected a similar reaction. Studying his profile for a moment longer, he'd quiver a soft grin at the remark, shaking his head.

"Well, yeah.. sometimes. Okay, yeah, I listen to them every time. Only if there's people I don't know, though." Jake would cackle honestly, gaze studying the other individual steadily. Rather enjoying the conversation they were sharing, he'd feel somewhat off because of the change in his demeanor, although he also didn't want to revert it back any time soon. "Oh, c'mon. It's not that awful. At least it rhymes, right? If you won't praise me on that one, I'll just do so myself." He'd hum tauntingly, a smug half smile creeping itself along his expression. Observing Reuben for a slightly longer duration, he'd seek to briefly hold his glance, lifting a brow playfully afterward. Truly, he didn't care at all whether his normal clique thought he was uncanny for conversing with someone of a completely different social status, let alone one that usually remained quiet as opposed to outgoing; the difference between the two personalities definitely clashed, though he wasn't sure if it were in a good or bad way.

Taking lucid note that his classmate appeared to be enjoying the more solemn and less mocking conversation, he would lean forward in his seat, resting both arms on his desk and bending them at the elbows in order for them to cross one another comfortably. Lowering his skull, he'd rest his chin on his stacked limbs, keeping his attention fixated on the shorter male whilst doing so. "I guess I wouldn't blame you for having poor memory on it.. you were only five, after all." Jake would acknowledge, offering him a small smirk. "America and equality? You were right about the 'try' part, because it's really not like that here. Or so I've noticed. I'll give it to the government and all that for trying to make it a better place, though." He'd chuckle softly, lazily blinking his glimpse elsewhere. "I preferred Norway for sure. I guess my parents wanted to come here for better education opportunities. What about you?"

xxxxxevidently, reuben seemed to have strong opinions on most people in the grade...well, those who he knew. he didn't stalk them, because obviously that was weird, but with all the time on his hands he could form a general basis of who they were. a lot of the people weren't necessarily bad, or dare he say awful people. a select few were good, but most were neutral to him. of course, he probably shouldn't have been 'judging a book by its cover' with all of them, but with his lack of acquaintances, what else was he to do? now, jake had never really been a good person to him. in fact, he was probably one of the more...negative labeled individuals. it could've been read as rude for the fifteen year old to 'rank' people based on their outer-showing personality, but he didn't have anyone to stop him.
xxxxxhead tilting to the side, a few hairs fell into his face, which he brushed out of his line of sight. if he was being truthful, part of the reason he did so was so he could see jake better; mostly his face, which reuben thought was an...overall attractive face. having a compelling appearance could go either way with being liked by the sophomore; he'd either assume they're nice, or vice versa. with the sixteen year old it was vice versa. but he presumed the conversation was no longer going downhill...at least not as rapidly as it had been previously. "i thought you were supposed to be cool," a toothy smile crossed his face, feeling an abrupt happiness. "go ahead, but that was worse than the ones my mom comes up with."
xxxxxa hand pressed into the chair, straightening himself back up fully. the smile faded back to a frown, even though he still could sense a tinge of contentedness in the pit of his stomach. the male's eyes would follow the fellow sophomore as he leaned his head onto his arms. "the difference is that norway does things to try. america just sits on it's lazy...you know, and begs people to follow the golden rule or whatever," shrugging pitifully, he'd tap a foot on the floor. "yea...i do remember missing my friends there for a while, though...and we moved because a lot of my mom's family had, but i'm not sure why they even moved."

He watched her play with Rocco, it was cute that she was interested in the little pup."Well our cute friend here almost didn't make it. His mother came to us from another shelter. We didn't know she was pregnant and the other shelter didn't know. We took her into the vet shortly after she came to us. The vet told us she was pregnant with 4 pups but since we didn't know she was pregnant we only have her enough food to provide nutrition for herself. Unfortunately they couldn't get them out fast enough and they didn't make it but Rocco here got out with barely enough time. My sister, another worker, and I nursed him back to health. The mother has already been adopted out now we are just waiting for him too. I guess I've grown attached to him over the time." he said watching Rocco roll around with the ball. He knew it was a sad story but out of it he got to take care of the little runt. If his family had enough money to own a dog they themselves would have adopted Rocco.

Fidgeting in his seat briefly, Jake would furrow his brows faintly, gaze remaining fixed upon Reuben. Observing him idly, he would form a slight smirk, tongue rasping itself steadily over his lower lip. Overall, he was intrigued by the other student more than he had been to start off with; it was merely an attraction to begin with, and perhaps even attempt at manipulation. He was still fully capable of manipulating the younger male now that he seemed to be gaining his trust, although something urged him to do otherwise. He was beginning to actually like him as opposed to just using him as a week-long date sort of thing. This was probably something he had only felt one time before, and even then the relationship he had gotten in likely didn't last too long. Attention fixated entirely on the shorter individual, he would tilt his head a bit, repositioning it comfortably on his arms.

Scoffing at the comment which was followed by the tooth-filled expression afterward, he'd take a moment to study his relaxed and more lighthearted features, lips tugging back into a soft smirk as well. "Really? Now you're questioning my social status? You're in no place to do that, loser.." Jake would grunt in sheer playfulness, glance focused on the sophomore's, snickering lightly when the following remark would be made. "Whatever you say, Ruby. Maybe you're just mad because your mom has used the same nickname before." He'd tauntingly murmur, clenching his jaw idly. Shuffling about, he would lift his skull from it's current location, tapping his fingers gently atop the desk.

"Yeah, I mean.. America does try to follow it's own rules, but it really does a terrible job at it." He'd comment honestly, a meek sigh escaping from his partly ajar mouth. "Norway is just.. it's better to me not only because it's where I'm originally from, but also because of it's community. It's also got a much smaller population.." He would add, listening when the other being's reply would come regarding the reasoning on why he had left the other country in the first place. "I really miss my friends from there, too. I don't even talk to them anymore, which sorta sucks." Nodding in acknowledgement at the aspect responsible for his relocating, he would straighten his posture a little more in his seat, folding his arms over his chest. "Oh, yeah. That's lame. This place is horrible, so I'm not sure why, either." He'd chuckle softly, brushing a hand through his dark hair.
