Another 15 minutes passed, and Kayla was about to pop an aneurysm. Her leg idly bouncing picked up in tempo and became restless as she scanned her area of vision looking for her brother. She was about to succomb to despair when suddenly he appeared like a phantom outside of her right peripherals. &q...

There was one penguin in the enclosure that followed a specific routine every few minutes. He would preen himself, waddle over to the water pool, dive-bomb and swim around in the water, slide back out, and gossiped with the other inmates before cleaning himself once more. Rinse and repeat. Kayla was...

Desiree stopped in her path as Ace tried to flag her down. She sighed, paused for a moment, and decided to respond with her one word answer, "Desiree." Like he'd ever talk to her again after today. That's what Desiree hoped for, anyway. And yet, Desiree felt bad for him in a way; if he was...

((Desiree Beck to be continued ...or so she thought)) She had the perfect plan; distract Ace with the bizarre vinyl and slip away quietly without him noticing: the tried and true Irish goodbye. But Ace was too social, too well adjusted. He did the one thing Desiree feared: eye contact . Every time s...

"Thanks," Desiree said in her usual monotone, not missing a beat after Ace congratulated her humor. She was a little even more annoyed that Ace didn't know who she was. Or at least that was what he implied. It was even more annoying that he said it like he was consoling some snot-nose brat...

Desiree's body tensed up as Ace continued to try and wear her armor down. Without turning back around, she idly fingered through the various W's, X's, Y's, and Z's of vinyls in front of her in a facade of browsing. This was really starting to get annoying--Desiree never understood how some people se...

Oh. Oh no. Desiree shouldn't have turned around when Ace shouted "hey girl" at her, but his megaphonic cry drew her attention like a siren. She could've just pretended to be deaf again, but no; her head and eyes betrayed her. She blankly looked at Ace as he exhibited his finds to the world...

((Desiree Beck continued from Walk Without Rhythm )) Today was supposed to be a good, easy day. School passed by without any major mishaps, and today was the day Desiree made her weekly trip to Off the Record to scavenge for new finds. It bothered her a little bit that the store owners recognized he...

((Abel Zelenovic continued from It's Raining Somewhere Else )) "Something something unemployment" was all Abel heard as he mindlessly gazed at Mr. McClellan writing on the board. Sure, Abel was physically here. But spiritually? Anywhere but. His mind drifted as he thought about the upcomin...

((OOC: TwelveFourtyFive has given me the rights for adopting Desiree, so from this post onward I will be her handler)) What did they say? Something about a feather? Desiree ignored the temptation to look up and tapped away at her phone screen, trying her best to focus on damage control. It wasn't re...

Huh?

Were they talking about her?

Desiree looked at the people talking to each other.

Doesn't seem like it.

She continues to focus on her messenger.

The frustrated Desiree switched her language on her phone keyboard and typed something in chinese until her brain heard the voice of Nate. Science? What science thing was Nathan talking about? Desiree had to recollect her mind as she had come to the library for different reasons. Oh right. The scien...

At the corridor behind Nathaniel an asian girl was walking back and forth with her cellphone on her ears. "Mom, stop." Desiree frowned. "No, no. Do not ever call me in class again." Her head was getting red "N-no. No. Mom. Just-Just shut up." A big moment of silence. Re...
