Approaching the End

[Aira Eresse]

"Jesus fucking christ!" A tall, black haired girl stood at her locker, throwing several books and binders into it. "It's June! The sun is shining! I'm graduating in a couple of weeks! And they're still giving me goddamn pointless homework!" She shut her locker door, hard, and slung her black messenger bag over her shoulder. Her coal black hair was swept up into a messy pony tail, loose tresses falling down around her face. She was naturally pale, though she had tanned slightly the past weekend from being outside more than usual. She was dressed casually, a pair of baggy jeans held up with a green belt. Her tee-shirt was snug, a faded burgundy over a grey lace trimmed tank top. As for jewelry, she wore a hemp choker with a pentacle charm around her neck, several pairs of miss-matched earrings, and a ring on everyfinger. The name inscribed on her class ring, a deep red stone, was Rhianna. Or as the rest of the school knew her, Rhi. She walked down the hall towards the art rooms, her birkenstocks flapping as she walked. It really was time to get a new pair, these ones were falling apart. She headed for the art room, figuring she would chill there for a while and hope one of her friends would swing by and offer her a ride home. Of course, hers had to be in the shop today.

||ooc: yeah. it's short. shoot me. I don't even know if anyone is up for a highschool rp, but i figured i'd throw this one out there.||

Ebony's eyes were cast down when she found her way to her locker by the patterns of the carpet on the floor instead of having to look up. She couldn't stand seeing a single set of eyes today. Too risky. She flicked the combination over the swift clicks, and when she swung it open, she realized that she didn't need anything. She didn't bring squat to class anymore. But her notebooks to write in. And she never wrote about school-related topics. She slammed her locker shut and leaned against it, but forgot to tilt her gaze back down and accidently met the gaze of a certain guy that happened to be walking by...

and she slid down to the floor slowly and felt her head drop to her hands, trying not to hear the throbbing sound of tension building in her every muscle. She suddenly realized that she wasn't breathing. She took a deep breath and steadied her heart beat.

It was gross that some guy had reduced her to this.

She took anothe deep breath and pulled herself upright again. She instinctively pulled bits of carpet lint off her black pants, which were several sizes too big, and held up with a silver studded belt. On top she wore a tight black tee-shirt and alot of silver jewelry all over.

"Pull off that bandana, miss Black, I'm not going to warn you again!" A chubby teacher screeched as she bustled by Ebony, who put her hand up to her head as if to pull off her black bandana, but as soon as the teacher turned into a room Ebony relaxed and scanned the hallway cautiously for any sign of friends. To her immense releif, she spotted Rhi walking towards the art wing, and hurried to catch up with her.

((short = good with my attention span tonight. and I'm here for ya. We can write alone if no one cares to join. ))

Victoria let out another growl as she walked around yet another couple making out in the iddle of the hallway. She couldn't wait until she could get out of this place! All of a sudden everyone except for her friends started to annoy her, and all she wanted to do was leave this cursed high school behind.

The classes were slowing down so there wasnt really anything interesting on, although she still had yet to finish her governament project with one of the 8th grade english teachers. She was excited for high school to end and college to begin....summer was going to to be great too. 'Anything to get away from these people!' she thought angrily as she pushed a person out of the way so she could get back to her locker. She forgot her studio project.

After she opened the said locker, she had to brush away a tendrel of newly dyed red hair out of her eyes yet again so she could see clearly into the dark cubby. She scanned the length of the door along with the actual shelves and realized that she had forgotten to take down certain pictures that held no importance to her any longer, but made her remember her mistake of dateing someone across the country from herself. 'Oh well,' she thought 'he was yucky anyway'. She then shut her locker door shut taking her tri-colored sparkly bag and sketchbook with her, and out towards the front doors.

'Hmm, i wonder if anyone would be willing to hang out today.' She wondered, walking around all the other busy students.

//YAAAY for RPing!.... ;D//

"Ebony! Baby! Love of my life!" Rhi threw an arm around her good friend. "Ready for an afternoon of art? I had two art classes and a study hall today, which were ALL spent in the art room and I am indeed ready for more artisitc...ness...yeah..." She flashed one of her signature grins. "Basically, my car's in the shop, I didn't want to ride the bus, and I desperately need to do some touching up on that painting I've been working on. I can't seem to get the glow just the way I want it." It was then that she saw Victoria not far away. "Victory my darling! Come, join us!" Victoria pushed a few freshmen out of the way as she crossed to the other side of the hall. "Bit angry today Vic?" Rhi said with a grin. "Too many couples crowding the hallway?" It was well known that one of Victoria's pet peeves were the many couples you flaunted their realtionships to the rest of the school. "Care to join us?"

[Anninemity]

Ebony laughed. She felt better to know that she wasn't the only one that couldn't bear lame highschool lovey-dovey time.

"Of course, Rhi. Only for you. What's going on with your car though? I mean...you can't be much worse off than I am...but then again, mine RUNS, right?!" She laughed, glad to be smiling again. "I guess I'll go chill in the art wing with you guys...but I don't know, Mr. Jones might eat my soul. He's on bad terms with me again. I must have yawned during one of his yoga sessions, or something. But I do have to work on some things for the senior art gallery... yeah I'm a procrastinator."

[Aira Eresse]

"Don't worry babe, so am I. And yeah, he probably will eat your soul. He does that. I'm thinkin I'm on his good side though, at least for now. Then again the only paintings I do IN class are ones he would approve of. I'm sure he'll have a fun time when I bring out all my others at the art show, huh?" Rhi laughed. She liked to talk. A lot. and Ebony was one of the few who listened, or pretended to, but Rhi thought she was fabulous either way. "You saw that kinda abstractish one I was doing, right? The glow around the circles? Maybe you can help me, they don't quite pop out the way I wish they did. And you ARE the art expert. And anyway, I think Mr. Jones had a sub this afternoon, so he won't be in the art room anyway...I don't think..."

[Beling]

"You have noooo idea. Why cant anybody get it through there heads that no body wants to see that! I'm sure its fun but honestly, why would you want to do it when everyones around to watch you?" She blew the same strand from earlier out of her field of vision. "Anyway...watcha guys wanna work on? I need to finish my jean jacket drawing, and i havent even started the shading yet..." she gave anervouse laugh "oops, my bad"

[Anninemity]

They turned into one of the art rooms and were releived to find it empty except for a few kids messing around with their ceramics projects. Ebony went over to the counter to find her biggest project- a three foot tall arm that appeared to reach out of the table...but was shocked to find it missing. A nervous heat spread down her neck. "Ummm...guys..."

She squeezed her eyes tight and slowly turned her head toward the front of the room, dreading what she might see there. When she opened her eyes, she saw a pie of clay shards sticking out at odd angles. And a note.

"Sorry, whoever the artist is, this got knocked over when we were working on something else." - the ninth grade studio class

And before she knew, Ebony found herself on the floor again, concentrating on the pounding in her ears, hoping that her head wouldn't explode.

Taun looked up as a trio burst into the room, swearing as her pot ripped in half on the wheel. "Hey guys." She turned back to the wheel, stopped it and took the pot off, slapping the mes sof wet clay onto the wheel next to her. She immediately slapped a large piece of clay onto the wheel and started another pot. "How you doing?"

She saw Ebony look at the shattered pot and watched silently as screams were suppressed.

She brushed her purple curly hair out of her face, disregarding the clay on her hands, then stopped the wheel suddenly and walked over, kneeling on the floor next to Ebony. "Ebony, honey, I'm sorry." She reached back and grabbed a towel, wiped her hands off and rested one on the other girl's shoulder.

[Anninemity]

"well... I can't imagine things getting much better than this..." Ebony muttered as she picked up a shard in despair.

"Highschool is such a wonderful thing. Sorry guys, I'm not really feeling that inspired anymore."

[bloodrose616]

Taun nodded, her face still. "I'm sorry hon." She glanced back at the wheel, then sighed and looked up at Ebony. "You're not the only one who can't wait to get out. You guys won't believe what I found out this morning." The 5-foot tall girl jumped up onto a counter so she could reach the buckets of tools and began rummaging through one. She jumped down, landing on her feet, a wooden tool and a knife in hand, which she dropped by her wheel.
