Jackson came back to reality when his arm was touched, not hearing anything Rose had said before. He gave her a blank, clueless look before walking past the gates that glittered in the sunlight, getting in his face momentarily. "No need for formalities, were about the same age I'm assuming." Jack smiled a bit, now fully out of his thoughts. "But you're welcome Madame Rose," he responded calmly as he walked through the door. The hallways seemed a bit empty, only a few people walking around as he looked around and nudged Rose. "What class do you have?" He seemed genuinely puzzled in the maze-like hallway, wanting to check everything out now. After all, the building was huge, and even had stairs and he felt a bit warmer in the building. The stairs were starting to look very tempting to run up and down on and he had almost forgotten about Rose again. Jackson sighed, doing his best to ignore the urge of the stairs and looked down one of the hallways. If he listened close enough, he could hear the music playing from the earbuds ever so slightly due to how quiet it was at the moment.

Ace had woken up on his own, getting suspicious at how much sleep he was getting. He lazily picked up his phone and tlooked at the time before falling back asleep. In a sudden burst of panic, he threw the blanket off his body and trapped his backpack and throwing a black hoodie on, swiftly grabbing his phone and putting it in his pocket before rushing to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He brushed his teeth in a rush, probably not brushing them fully and his mouth hurt a lot afterwards. Ace ignored the idea of making breakfast and put his shoes on, only thing then into a single knot rather than a double knot. Once that was done, he rushed out the door, glad there was a bus at the bus stop. He really hated buses, but he was really late for school and he'd be more late if he walked rather than take a bus. He rushed throught the door, nearly giving the bus driver a heart attack and apologized over and over again until the bus driver seemed annoyed. Ace apologies one more time before taking a seat in the very back, putting his wireless earbuds in. He looked out of the window to make sure he wouldn't miss his stop, and was surprised it didn't take very long to get there. In a panic, he stood up, almost tripping over and left the bus, completely embarrassed by how annoyed the bus driver seemed to be with him. Ace rushed into the building, passing two kids his age with their arms entwined, not really caring. He ran down a hallway and pulled out his schedule, relieved he was next to his first class. Before entering the room, he desperately tried to fix his hair and catch his breath.

Pax stared at the boy unintentionally as he was lost in his thoughts. He didn't notice anyone moving or even the boy looking dumbstruck. He was lost in his nightmare thoughts of the camp. He couldn't hear anything or see anything,he was like he was in a bubble of his own and no one could reach him. He didn't even think about what he had first.His eyes stared almost dead at the boy..

Naomi slowly trudged to Maths. She looked at her smashed watch on her left wrist. She still calmly trudged slowly to Maths even if she was 4 minutes late. She came in and groaned...There was a seating plan and she was sat by the boy she had seen at the locker. She at down and slumped in her chair Her Ice blue eyes which were just above her desk gave a frightening deaths are at the teacher. Naomi smirked as The teacher whimpered and shivered before continuing the lesson.

Rose looked at him and saw his blank stare and realized he didn't hear anything she had said and thus she sighed. She wanted to repeat what she had said before she heard what he had said. "Sorry, Jackson. I was raised to be formal. If.. I ever talked." She mumbled and then gently, slowly, increased the volume of the music since she saw him nudge her. She opened up her little bag and got out her schedule and looked at it. She looked at him and then said, "before I tell you mine, what's yours?" She rubbed her eyes with a hand and yawned. She realized she should have gotten more sleep but she wasn't that tired last night and her room, as well as her bed, wasn't comfortable for her and she didn't like it. It made her feel cornered and she couldn't get comfortable there. She looked at Jackson again and waited for him to talk. She knew that he was hardly knowing she was there but it was at least somewhat nice since she didn't have to worry about getting weird looks. She knew that there was people walking in the halls but she focused on Jackson and the music. She liked the music she was listening to and smiled because of it. She hummed along to the music quietly and closed her eyes again. She hoped that she didn't fall asleep from her sleepiness and the music would also make her sleepy since it was a soothing song to her ears. She didn't think of music as a way to calm her down but she didn't think of it before from the fact that she never had the opportunity to do so. She opened her eyes again and tapped his arm to remind him she was there again. Just in case.

Jackson's expression changed to a bit of a sadder one. He went back to smiling and snickered, "at least you were raised." The tone he had seemed to be a humorous one, making a joke out of what he said. To change the subject, Jack quickly changed the sun by answering her question. "I have math." He seemed more distracted by the fact that there were no remaining people in the hallway, missing the noise. Jackson noticed that Rose turned the volume up on the MP3 player, and narrowed his eyes. He shook his head and took a peak at her schedule, not being able to read what it said since he didn't see much of it for very long.

Ace took a while to catch his breath, not being very athletic. He just didn't do the whole 'excercise' thing very often. He took a few more breaths until his breathing was normal before opening the door. Immediately, he felt nervous from he various pairs of eyes on him. The teacher didn't look pleased, and just told him to sit down. Ace eyed a seat in the back, thankful it was open and walked over to it after apologizing to an almost annoying extent. Honestly, Ace was surprised he survived the traumatic events that only recently happened over the summer. He was only helpful when he could be, but otherwise, kept a low profile and avoided everyone at all costs. If you're always alone all your life, and the only people you know aren't the greatest, the only thing you can do is avoid everyone. He slightly turned the volume up on his phone for the music, taking notes on occasion. His notes were neat, easy to read and well organized. Ace only knew how to do that from the various different "rich kid" schools he went to with education that was "best" for him. Thankfully, everyone seemed to be going back to what they were doing, not paying attention to him anymore.

Rose looked at him and saw his sad face and instantly felt bad. "H-hey.. You okay?" She asked him as she placed her other hand on his and felt her own face curl into a sad, concerned face. "I'm sorry.. That must be difficult to remember." She looked down and regretted everything she said and whimpered. She wanted to cry again as she realized that she said something bad. She wanted to be friends with Jackson and she didn't him to be angry at her for something stupid that said. She felt bad and felt her fears kick in as she fell to the ground in fear. Her knees felt weak, as did her hands, as she started shaking. She covered her head as she waited for her to get yelled at for her words. She couldn't remember why her body did this, but it felt right to her and thus her entire body started shaking in preparation to anything else. She didn't hear what else he had said as she couldn't even hear the music anymore. Her entire body felt completely gone, but she could still feel her shaking-ness from the fact of how shaky her breaths were. Her breaths were shaky and uneven. She closed her eyes as her vision started going blurry. Everything around her blurred into one as she tried looking around. She felt her throat close up as she tried speaking. Another thing her body did on instinct. She let out a cough instead of words as she slowly moved her shaky hands from her head. She looked at the blurry version of Jackson and felt tears curl up into her eyes as she curled up into a ball. "I'm sorry." She barely choked into the air. Her body continued shaking even though she slowly started hearing everything around her. The music, mostly.

Pax blinked and finally he came out of the world that was his mind and he realized the time and slightly panicked. His little eyes widened and he half skidded half walked to Class. He mumbled "Can I sit here ?" To many people who had empty spaces by them but they all made up excuses why he couldn't sit in the space next to them.."Oh sorry someone is sitting here" or others were common excuses. At last he approached a n boy's table and timidly asked "Can I sit here?" He asked. Pax did his puppy eyes again and hope it worked. It worked for the Red cliff survivors when they were I. The Forest.So unless the boy felt no emotions he should fall for his puppy eyes. He did his innocent looking eyes and innocent looking face and added "If I can't sit here I can always sit on floor..." Inside he hoped that the boy would not make up an excuse and turn him away but he also knew that the boy might do the same like everyone else. When he looked up when he could see the boy thinking, he noticed the lesson was History and slightly under his breath groaned. The. pax's head looked back at the back still thinking. The boy turned him away so he sat at the back on his own.

Naomi sharpened her knife Instead of sharping her pencil. She looked at the equations in the sheet snd scribbled drawing on it just to decorate it. She loathed maths...all Naomi thought you did in maths was be hired,listen to the teacher drone on and doing endless equations that don't make sense. Naomi put her hand on the sheet so she could see the question more quickly. When She sweeped her hair off her face, she accidentally got lost in Trevir's blue -green eyes. Although before Trevor noticed she was staring at his eyes she scribbled in the sheet once again...

Naomi Scribbled on her doodle on the sheet. She noticed the boy had been shocked about the knife.She then looked at the window,looked at the teacher who had his back turned and then looked at the classmates scribbling away I. Their books. She pointed the knife at Trevor "Dont tell Anyone you saw this knife Capeesh?" With that she sheathed the knife and stared at Trevor awaiting his answer. While she waited for an answer she unsheathed the knife and began cleaning it.
