Negatives / - Life Is Strange

[Ember1989]

Brianna got up and left class, not wanting to be late for her next class. So far she got the feeling she was annoying that boy. Nathan. And honestly, it wasn’t hard to tell he disliked her. Great. First class and I made an enemy of a boy who obviously doesn’t pay attention in class. she thought.

Kate quickly left the room, not wanting to spend anymore time around Nathan or Victoria for that matter. She just wanted to get through the day without getting picked on.

Juliet

Juliet cringes inwardly at Jefferson's behavior towards Nathan. She may be learning way more about this celebrity teacher than she anticipated. It was very obvious that he did no favors for the guys who stumbled into his classroom, but he was defi- her stomach rumbles loudly and painfully in a reminder that there are more pressing matters than her fan theories. She blushes deeply and gathers her things, texting her best friend Dana to see if she wants to meet for lunch while she waits for that ever so lovely toll of the bell. As soon as it strikes she swiftly escapes the tense atmosphere of the classroom, sparing an apologetic glance for Nathan while she books it out to the parking lot.

Chloe

Chloe stomps the butt of her cig into the pavement and swings onto the bus in front of her. She nods to the bus driver and leans back into her regular seat with a large hole in the back. She gives a quick glance around to make sure anyone nearby isn't watching and digs into the hole, finding her hidden stash. She smirks lightly to herself and quickly tucks the baggie into her back pocket. She whips out her phone and sees, big surprise, no notifications. Her lips fall into a deep frown, looks like Mad Max only wanted to make a one time appearance. Not like Chloe expected Max to stay, no one ever does. She sent a quick message to Frank asking if he needed an errand girl and slipped her hands behind her head, trying to keep herself together while tears fell soundlessly down her cheeks.

Nathan

As soon as everyone is out of the room, I flop myself down on the desk before sighing. "If you could get that gun of yours out right now and sh--"

"Alright." He walks over to my and lays a gentle hand on my shoulder. "You know I love you. I love all of my students. But Nathan," he sits down on the desk. "You have potential. You do... I don't understand why you don't see that." He repositions. "I'm only hard on you-"

" 'Because I have potential', I know. We've been over this before." I look up from the table.

"Nathan.... I can't make you do anything, but..."

"I know... do better." I nod and get up. "Can I leave now?" He nods.

"Nathan." He blinks. "Chin up."

Dana

I lean against my car, sighing before I check my phone. Ah, Juliet. "Of course," I type back. "Come on, gurl." I can't wait to gossip with her! Is it just me, or... she seems to have a bit of a crush on our resident bad boy. How cute. I look over at Trevor, him tightening his arm around me. He then kisses my cheek before telling me about his next class. I watch him leave, going about to apply lipstick and the sorts before I spot her. "Ah, ma cherie!" I wave her over, engulfing her in a big hug. "How was class?"

Juliet

Juliet allows herself to be swallowed into Dana's hug and squeezes her, before pushing her away playfully and sprinting over to the car. "I will not allow this cantankerous stomach to cause me any further humiliation! We must make haste to the nearest fast food establishment!... Please?" she states in a silly, but also slightly urgent manner. Once she's situated in the passenger seat, she takes her hair down, pulling out a small emergency hairbrush from her bag and attempting to tame the wild beast she's left on her head all morning. "I have no idea how I'm going to manage this Photography class, the only pictures I've ever taken are on my phone, and I'm pretty sure if I turn in a phone picture for that hero contest Jefferson will laugh me out of the classroom, even if he looks adorable and well meaning while he does it," Juliet rambles away about her most recent stressors as she attempts to finesse a rather large knot out of her hair. "Man, it was a mistake to try for a bun, I'm covered in knots. I almost missed my first class because I was so intent on my writing. I'm writing an article about college social structure and how it can affect your future," she's almost mumbling at this point as she bites her lip and tears the brush through her mess of hair, using brute force to work the knots out, finally bringing her hair to a more manageable, if not exceptionally frizzy, level. Using a bit of mousse, Juliet works her hair back into a top-knot, leaving no possibility for messy fly-aways, so at least something about her doesn't look like a ragged mess. She grimaces at her sweatshirt and jeans before admiring Dana, she's always so well put together, and is just naturally a good person. Juliet waves the temporary jealousy aside and smiles, "How has your day been so far? Get to spend some time with Trevor?"

Dana

When Juliet practically jumps over my car, I giggle a little and unlock the door for her. "Why, of course, my dear Ariel." I add, getting in. She's rambling about school and photography, but I tell her not to worry. "If you need photography tips, I'm sure Max will be willing to help you out. After all, she did help with... Zach." I adjust my rear view mirror before backing out of the space. "Victoria can be such a--ugh. Don't let you bother you." I let me hand slide down Juliet's arm for a few moments before passing her a smile. When she mentions Trevor, I nod. "Hm-m. He's being a dork. Like always." I roll my eyes, though smile. Alright, girl, spill it. Two can play at this detective game. "Speaking of love lives!" I know it's been... dicey for her ever since her and Zach broke up, but... Zach had it coming. You don't cheat on a girl and... ugh, he's just lucky I didn't get my hands on him! I'd have-- My lips curl upward into a mischievous smile. "Did you see Nathan today? Let me guess. He was being his broody self." I laugh, though it's short lived. The two of them seemed to be getting along quite well in The Tempest, at least that's what Samantha said. Sweet girl. But that was three years ago... "How was our bad boy? Did he at least try to pay attention?"

Kate hurried to her dorm room to check on Alice. Kate loved her so much. She smiled at her bunny. “Hello, Alice. Would you like a snack?” She asked, smiling as she gave Alice a carrot.

I wonder when our next class will start. If that Nathan kid is there, I’m sure he will just sleep through class. Brianna sighed. Couldn’t she make one friend today? She sat on the steps outside the school reading a book while listening to music.

Juliet

Juliet blushes lightly and bites her lip, "Luckily resident bad boy was too busy brooding to pay attention to my stomach making awful noises. Though seriously Mr. Jefferson gets on his case hard, it's like night and day between Nathan and the new girl," she rambled a bit before her eyes shot open, "What do you mean speaking of love lives? I'm just worried about him, I think he needs someone who really understands him..." She grips her wrist and stares uneasily out of the window, looking troubled. "I stand by that article I wrote, but at the same time I feel like I missed a lot from their side and I'd like to remedy that, no one should have to feel ostracized by their peers," Juliet's voice wavers lightly, she had let her emotions create a bias and she was going to prove she could move past that with this article. A loud angry gurgling sound comes from Juliet's stomach and she gives Dana a sheepish look, "Enough drama, let's find some food before my stomach decides my brain isn't the best man for the job of leading this body."

((Sorry, I'm on my phone. ))

NATHAN

Oh. Great. It's that girl. I look down the steps at her before smiling to myself some. I walk down the steps with ease. "Hey," I whisper. "New girl." I sit down next to her, sitting my books on the steps. "Sup?" Why am I talking to her? She seemed to know a lot about class. I look over at her and offer her a little smile.

DANA

"Righty." I add quietly. "Sorry. I didn't mean to, you know," I fall silent and park when we're at the diner. "Coming?" I laugh, swinging out of the car. I seemed to have crossed a line asking her about Nate. I look an arm around her shoulders and playfully bump her hips. "Growling stomach, huh? What are you in the mood for?"

[Ember1989]

“Oh. Hey. My name is Brianna. Does Mr.Jefferson always pick on you like that?” Brianna said making an attempt at a joke. “Sup? Not much. Just hanging around.” She added.

Kate debated going to hang with Dana and Juliet. At least they weren’t friends of Victoria. They seemed kind of nice actually.

[LadyGalleth]

NATHAN

"Um.... Nate. Nathan." I add softly, looking down. I clasp my hands dismissively, spreading my legs some and figiting. What's the point? She'll figure out who I am eventually. "You'll hear my name a lot around here." I look up at her briefly before sighing. Jefferson? Great. "Not really. Sorta. He's... He says I have potential. But apparently, I'm a trouble child." I blow out exasperated, running a hand through my already falling hair. Where's Victoria?
