774 School Meeting ( OPEN TO ALL )

[Ms. Vellequette]

Why had she been stuck with this job? Was it some kind of game that Thierry was playing? Or was it just a random luck of the draw type thing? Honestly she did not know. But seeing as how she had no real choice in the matter, here she was.

It was time for the school to come together to have a little talk. Why they had to have this talk was not something that was beyond her, but was very unclear as to why Thierry would want to. He of all people did not strike her as the type to want to educate on this matter.

However, as she thought about it more, she began to realize that it was indeed lucky that he was not the one up here on the stage of the schools massive auditorium. He was far too eccentric to take such a matter seriously. Him with the revolving door of secretaries.

Letting out a soft sigh, she would move to take a seat on the far right of the stage. Eyes scanning over the flyer in her hand. It was one of many which had been strung out about the school informing the students of their requested attendance to this function.

She hoped that they would show, though if it had been her back in highschool, and their had been an option of not showing, she probably would not have.

Just then the doors to the auditorium swung open and the first group of students began to make their way in. Always in little groups, with the occasional loner showing up and sticking close to the back of the room.

Undoubtedly the more jockish kids would hang at the back, joking and being annoying little pains...The kids who really wanted to learn would end up at the front and the slackers would end up in the optimal spot to cause trouble.

Hopefully other teachers would be attending, because honestly she did not want to have to deal with a room full of 774 students by herself.

Sure she would have the pillars there, but that was not the point. Authority was always welcome...At least in these situations.

Letting out a soft groan of annoyance she would run her fingers through her blond locks, her other hand smoothing out the white summer dress she wore upon her delicate and beautiful frame.

[Jayr Byrne]

Am I in the right place?

All in all Jayr had been uninformed, yes she'd been told and pointed in the direction of the school auditorium for whatever reason she obediently followed without the thought of asking what this was about. All they were given was the silly little miming gestures telling them that this was about something important. So Without much to do Jayr would stride with an even pace towards the auditorium, once inside she'd look about at the very few people that were already there. She looked about with a concerned gesture eying up the place with a baffled appearance. Yeah she was clueless as to what was going on but found a spot near the dead center of the room. Far enough back to not be with the nerds and close enough forward to avoid the dim wits.

"Am I in the right place?"

She'd ask in a very ditsy and low voice as to not draw too much attention to herself but not go ignored completely. She was a bit nosy and wanted answers.

[Ceraphine Davis]

Kevala was of course the first of the Pillars to arrive, the lateness of the other's starting to irk her beyond all reason. Though she said nothing. She would just put on that sweet smile and do what she came here to do. Which right now was to stay near the stage and to make sure kids didnt get TOO out of control. Gods knew that putting them all in one room like this was not the brightest idea, but then the headmaster was nuts sooooooo yeah.

Pushing open the doors to the auditorium she would make her way inside, dressed in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt she has her hair pulled back and had left her bag in her locker.

The way she saw it was that if she had to do this alone, they were all so dead. There would be no questioning that one this time. She was sick of this shit.

Eyes falling over what students had already arrived she would simply make note before heading up toward the stage, eyes finding Ms. V. seated there looking as pretty as she always did. A sweet innocent smile given before she would nod and then take up a seat near the stage, yet of to the side and out of the way.

Her legs crossing as her arms folded over her chest. It was not really clear what this was about, but she was sure it was going to prove to be very interesting. If not down right dangerous.

[Dylan Cross]

Just as Jayr had been.... Dylan was dressed in the uniform... which seemed to be her only outfit that wasn't trailer trash... yet she still managed to step it down with a feather braided in her hair behind her ear. She also had a bandanna, with an American flag on it, wrapped around her ankle around her combat boots......

Then there was a meeting. Dylan walked along side Jayr as they entered the room and took seats in the center of the audience.

"Am I in the right place?"

Dylan wasn't sure if she was getting asked the question or not, but she answered with a simple shrug. She had no clue what this was nor if she were even in the right place.

"If this is about the vandalism outside....it wasn't me..."

[Astrid Sudeki]

Astrid was not looking her self as of late, having been staying away from practically everyone for about a week now. Though to be fair it was not entirely her choice. Yet the flyer that she had been handed suggested a chance to actually be around people again. Maybe Guy would be there, seeing as it had been just as long since she had seen him.

Sighing softly, dressed in a pair of jeans and a basic black t-shirt she would shrug her bag onto her shoulder, keeping her blue eyes down to the ground, the bruise on the side of her face starting to fade and easily hidden by her hair, so long as she did not forget and push it back as she so often did....having done it three times just today.

As she slipped through the closing door of the auditorium, her eyes finally lifted upward, looking around the room to see some of the students had already gotten there.

Biting her lower lips softly she finally spotted Jayr and Dylan. Two people she should not have been a little happy to see, though she was.

At least they were familiar, and with the turn her life had taken, it was nice to have something familiar, no matter how annoying.

Making her way down the aisle she would stop at the end of the row of seats, offering up a little wave to the two.

"Hey guys."

She sounded somewhat normal, though clearly a bit off compared to her usual self. Taking a step forward as if to possibly sit by them before she felt a hand shoot out to grab her by the arm tightly. Making her wince just a bit as she turned her eyes up to the face of the person she had already learned to despise deep inside.....

Lucus......

He was her new "boyfriend" though the relationship was not by choice, but more so through obligation to the family. Both of them knew it, yet Astrid was the one that was so hell bound to do as her family wished that she would not dump his ass.

Standing at 6'3" he was every bit as big and bulky as most of the fighters at the school. A football player and jock all around, not to mention a complete ass. Sure, she guessed he was handsome...but that did nothing to ease the disgust she felt for him.

"Where the fuck you think you are going?"

He then turned, flashing that charming smile toward the two cheerleaders, giving them a little nod.

"Ladies..."

Always with the charming tone when he spoke to anyone BUT her. Instantly her eyes lowered, once more applying that bite to her lower lip, only this time a bit more nervously.

As he turned to head back a few rows and take a seat, he jerked her along with him. Offering up an apologetic look she would shrug and shake her head as she looked back to Jayr and Dylan, mouthing the word "Sorry" before being pulled into the row of seats and shoved down into a chair beside his own.

[Brian Andeste]

"School meeting!"

Brian released the shirt-sleeve of the student he had stopped and questioned, the boy taking his leave and making for the auditorium. Brian looked back the other way, watching as students filtered out of their classrooms and spoke in hushed tones, the dull drone of footsteps seeming clustered and fulfilled. He shut his locker, his bag and books stuffed neatly inside, before throwing on the black leather jacket and pulling out his sight-enhancers. His deep blue jeans mixed well with his white T-shirt, giving him a sort of nerdy-biker look. The smooth feeling of his fingers combing back through his wet hair brought a sigh to his lips, his other hand bringing his glasses up to his eyes and setting me gently on the bridge of his nose, the world becoming all the clearer because of it.

He made he way with the crowd, a flowing river awash with bodies. He smiled and reached out, taking the hand of a girl at her locker and looking her right in the eye as he said hello, holding her soft fingers with both of his hands. The group swept him away from the blushing freshman, Brian turning around and walking backward, biting his lip a little to signify his apparent interest. She blushed deeper, turning back to her locker with a bright smile on her face. The girl didn't have many friends, mostly because she let her hair fall into her face, and dressed in clothes that covered all the..."best" parts of her body. She also wore glasses, like him- but he had seen them removed. The hair pulled back, the smile given fully. None saw it because none looked for it, but she was stunning, in every way.

And she was a good kisser too.

He entered the gym with a sigh, licking his lips and glancing around for a moment. He reached up, using the inside of his index finger, middle knuckle, to brush down the bridge of his nose as a grin swept across his face. A familiar head took a seat near the stage, and seeing that the Aisles were packed, Brian stepped up on the back of the chair in front of him. A few heads turned his way as he jumped from chair to chair, row to row, all the way down to the front where the Captain sat. A soft landing to the front left of her feet would signal his arrival. He took the one next to her, unaware that they were probably reserved for Pillars, instead flashing a smooth, calm smile without much ado.

"Well, Kevela Katashi. How did you know i would pick this seat? You stalking me again?" He gave a crooked smile, full of humor as he took her hand. "It really is good to see you again though." His eyes went up to the woman on the stage, the smile fading to one of a more serious note.

"Any idea what this is about?"

[Guy Nottingham]

So like just about every other day Guy had been skipping class, it was only providence that he arrived in the hallway at the right specific time to have anything to do with this whole silly meeting thing. Of course being a pillar it was somewhat expected of him to be there. So luck of course was on his side. The excitable boy jostled his way past the crowds slowly forming at the door their wavering eyes strictly crossing the room for a spot nearest to their friends or at best their own associative group.

Guy bounced about for awhile spotting Jayr and Dylan and waving towards them to a degree that was normally embarrassing towards normal people as he mouthed their names though his voice not loud enough to drown out the dull roar of the other students voices before his vision turned over towards Astrid to which he grinned and bolted in her direction quickly pushing rudely through the crowds and leaped over her lap hitting on his way there Mr. Tall and mysterious who he'd yet to meet.

"Hey you!"

He'd chuckle smoothly enjoying seeing her after such a long time of going without her and her doleful application of worrisome measures.

[Kazuya Hikari]

At this point in time, Kazuya had learned well to just shut up and not say anything, especially when dealing with a girl who happen to be the School Captain and could kick his ass five ways to Sunday. He came here for one reason, and one reason only, and that was to make sure no idiots would stir up any trouble. Pushing the door open with one hand, he calmly walked inside, today he wore just his black leather jacket with his jeans and chaps, his hawk eyes glaring from behind his red sunglasses. Walking down the aisle, he passed by Jayr without a single glance, as he headed towards the stage, making brief eye contact with Kevala, a guy already sitting beside her, before shifting his gaze over to the stage, as he saw Ms. Vellequette was already seated up on the stage, looking pretty as always. Giving her a respectful nod of acknowledgment, he then took up a position near Kevala, as he leaned against the wall, his arms casually folded across his chest.

Freeing one hand, he lifted it up under the impression he was adjusting his sunglasses, as he pushed a button on the side of the arm, powering his scanner up. His eyes scanning over the crowd, a few note worthy power levels and statistics appeared on the lenses, including the girl with dark hair whose lap Guy was sitting on, the guy sitting beside Kevala, and the girl sitting beside Jayr. His gaze settling on Jayr, his gaze was locked onto her, for reasons he could not fathom currently. He was sure a few of the guys that were already here were doing nothing but staring at Ms. Vellequette, completely mesmerized by her beauty, or if not her, then the two members of the cheer squad. "... Tch..." He wasn't exactly sure what this assembly was for, or if it was even wise to gather all the students in a single area, either the headmaster was completely confident nothing would happen... or completely nuts.

[Keeland Mackay]

A school assembly. Well that of all things should prove to be interesting. He was not sure if it was wise, from what he had seen, to have all the students in one closed off room. But who was he to question.

He was going with the specific intent of running into that female teacher he had seen in the staff lounge earlier in the week. Vanessa was her name, quite the ravishing beauty if he did say so himself and all the more sporting given the total disregard she had shown him that day.

Dressed in a white dress shirt with the top three buttons undone and a pair of blue jeans, he once more looked the part of the lazy, laid back teacher that he was. Yet still there was something about him that carried an air of confidence and pride. Of course that could just be because he was an ass most of the time and figured he was good enough for any woman he set his eyes on.

As he entered the auditorium, his eyes could not help but notice the throng of students already here, shaking his head as he imagined the many things that could go wrong here. Yet before he could dwell too much on the matter, he spotted that lovely blond upon the stage.

Making his way in that direction, he would pass a set of jocks, nerds and of course cheerleaders, the prime meat of this school. Moving to the side of the stage he passed by another group of students before he would by pass the stairs and hop onto the stage, that cocky grin on his handsome features.

"My my Vanessa, you are looking stunning today."

A light nod given to her before he would grab a chair and pull it up beside her to take his seat. Let the games begin.

[Ms. Vellequette]

As the students began to file in, she felt that sinking feeling in the bottom of her stomach, she felt as though this was going to get bad and fast. Yet she held her composure, never once letting on that anything was off inside her mind.

As her eyes fell upon Kevala, the young, small School Captain, she had to grin. It did her good to see such a tiny thing with so much power. Females were so often looked down upon in places like this.

Then soon enough a boy was joining her, big surprise there, and then another pillar arrived, then a third.....

Good. At least they had shown up. Well most of them anyways.

As she shifted in her seat, another familiar face caught her eye. Keeland, the new english teacher, and boy was he looking as handsome as any man she had ever seen....With a single obvious exception.

Shaking her head, she would turn her attention elsewhere, not about to let the man know she thought him hot....He was an asshole, that was clear, and she had better things to do than deal with the likes of him.

However as he approached, making a comment upon her appearance, she would turn back to him with a more than irritated look on her face.

"Thank you Keeland. Now sit down and hush. We are about to start."

With that she would rise to stand, her hands smoothing out her dress as she made her way to the mic, already sure that Keeland's eyes were so not where they should have been but instead focused on her backside.

Rolling her eyes at the thought she motioned for the sound guy to turn on the mic, hearing the dull whine of the blasted thing as it settled into its on position. A soft clearing of her throat as she tried to get the students attention.

"Alright everyone. Sit down and settle down. We are about to begin."

With that she would step away, letting everyone get settled before she would continue.

[Astrid Sudeki]

Astrid sat there, her head lowered and her mind trying not to focus on the fact that if people did not know by now what was going on, they sure as hell would by the time this was over.

But she supposed things could have been worse...At least nothing too horrible had happened.

Then, almost as if on cue, a weight was felt in her lap as Guy plopped down, that happy little smile that was always there, now greeting her eyes as they turned upward.

Instantly she panicked, her hand coming up to try and push him off while she tried to hide the fading bruise on her face....

Yet she did not get the chance to lay a finger on him, for almost as soon as he sat down on her, Lucas was there, grabbing Guy about the collar and throwing him off of her and onto the ground.

Shaking her head Astrid jumped up, grabbing Lucas' arm and jerking him toward her and away from Guy.

"STOP IT! Leave him alone!"

Jerking his arm away, he turned to look at her over his shoulder, that glare making her shrink down inside herself slightly as she whimpered out, at the same time his hand slamming back into her face and in turn sending her back onto her ass between the rows of chairs.....

Tears flooded her eyes from the pain, her lip bleeding now as she raised her hand to brush across the now very tender area....

Crying out as she struggled to get back to her feet, though his hit had made that all the more difficult.

"Lucas stop it!! Please!!!"

Finally shifting to her hands and knees as she tried to push up and then find away past him to where Guy was......

______________________________________

Lucas was all good at first, he had his girl, he had his friends, and he was on top of the world. That is until some little guy thought he could go touching what was his.

Growling deep in his throat he reached out, grabbing the little fucker about the collar and jerking him from Astrid's lap.

A surprise coming in the way of her defense of the kid.....Of course he could not allow that, a good solid back hand delivered to her face would send her back and out of the way. Hopefully teaching her a lesson before he turned back to look at the kid who had just been sitting in her lap.

"Who the fuck are you? And why the fuck were you sitting in MY girlfriends lap?"

His figure showing he was ready to destroy the little fucker. He could deal with her embarrassing him like that later, when they were alone.

[Jayr Byrne]

Just the Start

"If this is about the vandalism outside....it wasn't me..."

Jayr giggled lightly turning over towards Dylan who'd been behind her this whole time, "Yes well if it was the vandalism I'm sure they'd not bother with an assembly, perhaps sick their hounds on you." Jayr would nod towards the row of pillars sitting up from with a lack luster show of good feelings towards them.

Soon following that Astrid would walk in with something of a discouraged look on her face with a bit of man candy at her side. Jayr smiled and waved lightly giving a tugging motion with both her eyes and hands suggesting she move this away only to notice the commanding tug of Mr. Man Candy and her lips saying she was sorry. Jayr would pout in defiance though she supposed she should be happy seeing as Astrid was now a girl.....

Then of course with her head angled towards the door the appearance of Guy and his ridiculous waving would send her head the opposite way all too quickly to be natural hoping he'd get the hint that they weren't interested. Yeah the boy came off too.....perverted.

"Alright everyone. Sit down and settle down. We are about to begin."

So evidently she was already ahead of the game Jayr would sit patiently, all too much so until she heard Astrid's voice over the crowd turning quickly to see both Guy getting pummeled, which she thought he'd probably deserved for pulling another dumbass move, and then Astrid getting struck. Oh hell no, angry black woman mode activate.

Picking up from her seat Jayr would grab Dylan's chair if she was still in it or not was not of Jayr's concern because she'd yank hard and toss it at man candies head.

"Hey big dumb and ugly didn't your parents teach you not to hit a girl?" A scowl appearing from her pursed lips making her a tad bit scarier than bitchy.

[Dylan Cross]

Dylan smiled over at Astrid, and of course noticed those bruises... They were a bit older but then she saw the boy... that boy she was arguing with when Dylan had dropped off the costume.

Dylan glared at the boy... then they went and sat else where.

When they left she was going to make a comment about the boy, but of course they were interrupted by the teacher...and the sudden outburst of Mr.Testosterone. Dylan was kind of forced out of her chair as Jayr would smack the tool with her chair...... hmm she couldn't have used her own chair? Ah well it was for a good 'cause... but watch.. now they will get in trouble.

(OOC: FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL)

[Guy Nottingham]

The sharp yank by the collar was something Guy hadn't been suspecting but of course he would manage to deal with it as he was jerked aside and to the ground with a rough thud. He wasn't one for dishing out pain but Guy was essentially a sponge for damage, the slight burn of his shoulder as it contacted the floor harshly. He'd stare up sharply taking to rubbing his shoulder that'd suffered tile burn even in its minor form still effectively damaging him.

"STOP IT! Leave him alone!"

The rough slap that Guy saw as this Lucas character beat Astrid into submission with a single arc was enough to send the happy go lucky kid over the edge.

"Who the fuck are you? And why the fuck were you sitting in MY girlfriends lap?"

Guy's leg would jut out sharply kicking at the inside of Lucas' kneecap with enough force to shift the boy's momentum forward. Yes the goal was to make him expose his weaker points something Guy had an eye for though he suspected his strength was not enough to cripple the large oaf he'd undoubtedly shudder the large man forward spreading his legs to throw off balance.

From his stationary ground position Guy would sweep the feet to either topple the giant or come up short, all his breaths timed and focused as he'd lunge up using his hands to push-up much like in track practice. The force would send him quickly to his feet and right up in Lucas' face where he'd use his size disadvantage as and advantage. Avoiding a possible grapple Guy would drop up within his reach extending a karate chop to the Adam's apple like he'd seen in movies at Astrid's and shoving his left foot down to toe crush Lucas, upward he'd ascend bringing his cranium into Lucas' exposed jawbone causing more damage to Lucas than Guy's thick skull assuming all had went as planned.

[Ceraphine Davis]

Kevala sat there, her eyes falling over the little scene with that boy pulling Astrid away from the other girls. Though she just shrugged and rolled her eyes. Not her fault that the guy was an asshole.

Yet the sound of feet landing next to her drew her attention, noting Brian as he took up a spot beside her. It was enough to get a little smile out of her as she shook her head, offering up a light roll of her eyes.

Stalking him? She would have to argue that it was indeed the other way around.

Letting him take her hand, she would use that as a reason to turn about and face him, her attention now away from the students for a brief moment......With her free hand she let her index finger curl up and brush slowly along the underside of his chin.

"Well, what do you expect a girl to do? You get her all fired up like that and then just walk away? Not very fair I would say."

With that she blew him a little kiss and then pulled her hand back, a soft laugh before she would look down at her hand he still had a hold of.

"Though it would seem you are now the one who is hesitant to let go. Did I make that big of an impression on you? And no I have no clue what this is about. "

Another soft laugh before she was forced to turn her attention elsewhere, noting the presence of Alex there, by the sounds of a fight breaking out..........Already? Seriously?

Assuming Brian had let go of her hand, or even if not, she would pull back her hand even as she watched the big brute that was with Astrid slap the girl with a solid backhand.

Of course her initial thought was that Astrid would jump up and do something about it, but instead she heard another pleading scream........

Growling to herself she turned back to Brian with a polite little smile, her index finger held up in a "hold that thought" gesture.

"Just...one sec."

Turning away then she would head up the aisle toward where all this was going on, just about to put an end to it before she spotted Guy taking matters into his own hands.

That right there stopped her in her tracks and had her crossing her arms over her chest lightly. An amused grin on her face. She knew the little fucker had it in him....apparently he just needed some reason to bring it out.......Interesting.......

A glance cast back to Astrid as Kevala stood there, making it clear she was there, but allowing Guy to have his fight....Not wanting to take away from his ability by stepping in unless it was absolutely needed.....
