skipping classes

[JACaiomhe]

tag, taky-poo! XD

What Amerie loved about this school so much is that nothing seemed impossible. Anything could happen. But then again, maybe she just thought of it that way because she was exposed to such wondrous magic everyday here. There's always something going on at the school. A different life she used to have back home, where everything was so normal and simple. Not that Amerie has anything to complain about, she loved being back home. It was only about a few days ago that she came back from her break. She was happy that she get to see her family again, especially her little sister, Kala, and everyone. Being away from her family for the first time pretty much made the girl very homesick. So much that when she came back, she was nothing but ecstatic and emotional. A change from her usual calm and laid-back attitude.

Thinking about her family made Amerie smile. 'See, just four days away from them and I'm already homesick.' The seventeen year old girl thought to herself, shaking her head, finding it a little pathetic. She was one year away from being considered an adult and yet she still can't manage to be away from her home in a week. 'It's not like everything that happened back home was pleasant, anyway,' Amerie was reminded of that again. The same reason why she's here, at the school's backyard, watching a different class conjure up auroras in the sky (even if it was daytime, they manage to make this place look like night time, see nothing's impossible here!) and not in her Dreams Recalling class.

Call Amerie naive if you want, but being raised in such an idealistic household, she never really was the one who anticipate evil things to happen. Especially to her. (Even if she was going to a school in a place called Diabolic Domain, it doesn't seem to scare her though.) She just never really entertained herself with those kinds of thoughts. But ever since she came back home, she started having nightmares. Some horrible enough to have her wake up in the middle of the night, screaming; then some were bad enough that she won't even remember them the moment she'd wake up, and instead she'll have a sense of panic and terror. Something akin to the feeling of being traumatized. There are some nights she didn't have them though, and then some that don't. Can you really blame her if she doesn't want to revisit them again in her class?

So here she was, lurking at the back of the assembled class as they all tried to mimic their teacher's example. They were all standing up so Amerie managed to be overlooked while she sat in the back. She's not too interested in learning the spell, but rather she was here because... she really can't think of anywhere else to go. Besides, the auroras were actually enticing and amusing. Even in her down and out moment, she's able to find the colors that painted the sky beautiful. [/color]

[Takato]

(taky-poo?)

Takato was tired of being in class, so he just didn't even bother with trying to learn something he wasn't into. Takato was that type of person. get bored and just leave. Just as he turned the corner he noticed a girl was sitting down, but it wasn't just ANY girl. No it was Amerie! his long lost sweet heart! Takato then hid behind the corner once again before she noticed. Quickly looking around, he desperately looked for some kind of flower or something. He couldn't just walk up to her and NOT give her something. Still looking, the only thing he found was.... a daisy? A daisy, YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Having no other choice. Takato sighed, having no choice but to pick the daisy, He then snuck towards her, then kneeling He held the flower in front of her. "Why hello Amerie, And where have you been all this time" He whispered into her ear.

[Amerie]

notes, OF COURSE! my takity-tak-tak-poooo! ^_^

She's got him nailed to the ground.

It was no biggie, really. Amerie just did a few twists and turns, applying some new-found skills she learned back home to the event. His body made an audible thud! when he dropped to the ground. Thankfully, some student made a mistake and instead of making an aurora, like the others, he made fireworks. So Amerie's little 'power yell!' (you know, the ones with the karate HA! or kung fu fighting HA! things? XD) and the thud and his grunt weren't heard by anyone else. So they weren't caught. Releasing a mental shudder, Amerie didn't really even want to think of what the administrators would do to them if they were caught skipping classes.

See, her parents were a little... crazy when she came back.

Their daughter just coming home from a place that was much more hectic and wilder than theirs. They were pretty much relieved she had even managed to come home in one piece. "Still the same Alejandra Maria Scarlett Xanders we know and love!" Her mother said to her the moment she came back in one breath, after doing a full body search (for any bruises or injuries) then enveloping her daughter in a tight hug. After the warm welcome, Amerie faced an interrogation where they asked her if she has ever been mugged, drugged, raped. She answered no, but then they had entertained a new thought in their minds: "If you don't get victimized, then you must be... PART OF A GANG!" This idea was preposterous, really, she doesn't even have enough friends to make her own non-malicious gang. So of course, Amerie answered "HELL NO!"[/i] which shocked her parents even more. "Where did you learn to speak like that, young lady?!"[/i]

It was a hopeless case from then on. But Amerie was glad to be back, despite her parents' constant nagging. Her father then eventually took it upon himself to teach his daughter some self-defense moves. Unknown to them that she might really need them soon, but against a darker force than just gangs and street thugs.

So that's why she was here, straddling the blonde guy, her hand on his shoulder, the neglected flower now crushed in her midsection... along with his hand... which she did not actually take into account because all her attention was pretty much on his face. His boyish face with a shocked look mirrored by her own.

"Takato?!" Amerie yelled over the fireworks. Her face scrunched up in wonder. 'Is that really him?' Due to the 'faux'-night time atmosphere at the school's backyard (made to fit the class, really) she couldn't really see him that well. She squinted her blue-violet eyes and looked closer, observing every bit of his face. When it came apparent that it was him, she released a tiny squeal which was, again, muffled by the sounds of fireworks. Then leaned down and gave him a hug. It was probably a little awkward since they're both on the ground, but to hell with it, she missed him a lot.

When she heard the yelling of the teacher scolding the student, she then realized that they were.. pretty much lurking and seating-by in another class. They have to be pretty much indiscreet. Amerie turned to whisper back, "I missed you. How are you?" a smile could definitely be heard in her voice. [/font][/color]

[Takato]

"Looks like somebody's happy to see me" Said Takato smirking at her as he was somewhat pinned to the ground. Though, having someone who missed you so much, kinda felt nice. A little dissapointed with the daisy being smashed he didn't care at the moment. So he ended up tossing it aside. "Perfectly fine now that you're here" Said Takato Smirking at the fact that she has him pinned to the ground. Takato then took his arms and wrapped them around her. For the first time in a long time, he felt loved. Giving her a bear hug. As he hugged her, he could smell her scent. It was warm and inviting. He'd been so lonely without her. The constant, waking up to no one by your side or no one to see. I mean she just up and disappeared one day!

"And what about you? How have you been?" He asked her giving her a peck on the checks.

[Amerie]

tag, tictacs = always minty fresh. =>

"Happy to see you?" Amerie said, in a questioning tone. Separating herself from him, now looking down at him with a smirk and a brow raised. "No. Where can you possibly get that idea?" She denied, but unable to keep a straight-face on, and ended up laughing. She has to admit it even to herself that yeah, she was happy to see him. Takato was one of her closest friends here in this strange place. To go on a week without seeing or talking to him (rather, dealing with his antics) was new to her and she didn't like it that much.

She swung her leg over and completely detached herself from him, now sitting beside him. Her hand was still on him, tugging on his arm to say that he should sit up, too. Though when he started saying one of his lines again, she used the same hand to hit his arm. "You and your flattering," she shook her head. At first, she found them odd and rather annoying, but she just can't imagine him without them. She missed it, even. His cheesiness made him... well, Takato, her Taky-poo, her tictac. That, and she can't imagine him saying more eloquent things. That would be nice, but it would've been weird and uncharacteristic of him. "It really won't get you anywhere," she continued, poking on his cheek. Amerie's own cheeks felt like it was burning after he placed a tiny kiss on it. (In a good way! XD)

When he asked about how she Hhad been, Amerie released a small sigh, proceeding to let her legs fold and her knees come close to her chest, her arms hugging them with her back supported by the wall. "Well, I've had better days," she started, her gaze turning to the ground, a little glum now that she was reminded of what happened to her in her supposed vacation yet again. "I'm sorry I left without warning," looking up, a grin took up most of her face, now she remembered how she got called home in the first place.

"It was some sort of family emergency."

And what a family emergency it was. A message got here that her little sister was sick and that she must come home soon for it was her dying sister's last wish. So of course, she would rush out to see her baby sister. Only to get there to see a perfectly healthy child. Her family played her. "Oh, Amerie, you're here! What brings you around these places?"[/i] her father cheerfully greeted her, acting as if he doesn't know what's happening.

"Where's Kala?"[/i] Amerie frantically asked her father.
"She's just outside, getting some air."[/I] It puzzled her how cheerful and seemingly unaffected.

"SURPRISE!"[/i] From behind her, came out her little sister. Perfectly healthy. "Aren't I a great actwess?"[/i] she started to speak in a cutesy way which only made Amerie feel slightly irritated.

"Yeah, you could say that they missed me so much that they didn't want me to leave. For a long while." Amerie smiled at that thought. They were a simple and idealistic family, despite their dysfunctional and crazy moments. But that's what they were: a family. "How about you?" she turned to face him, a coy smile on her face. "Did you miss me?" she asked with a hopeful gleam on her eyes. What's this? A certain change in her cool and laid-back demeanor? Probably, but she's most likely acting out on her quirks right now. For some reason, she was very happy to meet him again. It's certainly a highlight to her coming back here.[/font][/color]

[Takato]

Takato Sat up beside her. Only to pull her on to his lap. Did he miss her? of course he did! How could he not! Takato Smirked at her as he gave her another peck. "Of course I did, Who would wanna let you go anyways!" Said Takato as he then gave her a peck on the check. Honestly he was just glad to have her back. Everyone just looked at Takato as if he were some... creep. Not Amerie, no she pinned him to the ground. Life just gets so lonely these days.

[Amerie]

tag, takato likes potatos! >,<

Amerie let herself be pulled on his lap. Normally, she would turn down his advancements, her small-town type of modesty winning her over. But those seemed pretty much gone out of the window now. Well, maybe not entirely, but coming back it just seemed like she was more... okay with the environment now. She knows what to expect and it kind of starts to feel homey.

Amerie even found herself feeling like she belong in his arms. She fell back on him, her head lying on his shoulder. She liked him well enough, this thought only solidified when she was away from him. In her days back home, she often looked for people who had the same quirks that he does. She took it as a sign that she was feeling something for him, but unable to really pinpoint what it was. But it seemed like it might just be too early for those type of thoughts. After all, she had left him for quite some time.

Then that made her think, 'what if he's been with some other girls lately?' "Say, I heard you're pretty popular with the ladies now a days," Amerie teased, although there was just a slight hint of seriousness in her voice. "Who have you been hanging out lately?" she asked him as if she were a mother asking a child (who was already deemed guilty in her mind) if he stole the last cookie in the cookie jar.

'Ack! What are you saying?' she began to panic, moments after just saying that. She won't throw herself at him (even if she just technically did), not like other girls. She wasn't like that, she doesn't want to be like that. Separating her head from his shoulder, and looking up at the sky (some students still attempting to make some aurora -- in vain), Amerie gulped and started to think of how to save face. Nothing came into mind.[/color]

[Takato]

Takato cleared his throat. It seemed as if he's been caught red handed with flirting with other girls. "They are just some girls" He stated. though, He didn't what Amerie to just think that she is just some girl. No no Amerie was... special but he couldn't say that for then she would think that he was calling her retarted. Women! so difficult these days.

"But they dont seem to really like me" he said."Though, they are nice, but I seem to be distracted these days"

[Amerie]

tag, tako-bell! -^_^-

At his admittance, Amerie had to turn her head to face him. Do the double-take, if you know what I mean. "Rea-lly?"[/i] she asked, incredulous. Although she shouldn't be the one so skeptical herself, it worked on her, didn't it? But that was only because she was... well, as she rationalized, she's weak. Having grown up in a household with only her father as the male companion, this pretty much made her vulnerable in male company. Heck, she shouldn't be so doubtful. He has good looks and a charming personality, even if everything he says might have come from a 'Picking Up Girls 101' guide -- who wouldn't like him? What kind of girl would resist him?

When he spoke up again, Amerie couldn't help but go "Oh really?" again, in total disbelief."I don't believe you." She spoke, plain and clearly, shaking her head. "Distracted by what?" she chuckled, asking out of curiosity. Finding the idea laughable. A guy? A girl not in his mind? Seems impossible.

Amerie seems to be resenting him for some reason, for admitting that he has been getting along with someone else -- well, not just someone else, but many others! -- but maybe it's just... jealousy.[/font][/color]

[Takato]

"Distracted by what you ask? Well it COULD happen to be a girl who is sitting on my lap" He smirked at her pulling her in closer, intently staring at her. Takato pulled her face close to his face. he loved the fact that he could feel her body against his. Wrapping his arms around her tightly. Takato then whispered "For some reason, i just can't get you out of my head"

[Amerie]

notes, everybody loves cheese! yum yum! ;]

It's happening to her, that thing that only happens in movies. You know how your gaze is just locked intently with that one person, and before you know it things were happening?

Well... that's not how it happened with Amerie. Not much anyway. (Keeping this safe, it's school hours. XD)

Amerie kept still, for some reason she just froze. Maybe because it was of their proximity; she could feel his hard body pressed so closely to her back, his arms keeping her in his hold. It was like he didn't want to let go. His face just a few inches to hers.

You can't really tell the right moment to be intimate with someone. It just happens, despite what others say are signs. One such as silence that stretches out for more than 5 seconds. Like, right now.

Making a bold move, Amerie closed her eyes and planted a kiss on his lips, closing the space between them.[/color]

[Takato]

Takato couldn't help but kiss her back. As his hands traveled up her back. Deepening the kiss, filling it with more passion, then ever before. With each kiss it seemed as if he craved for her more. Letting out a grunt. Amerie tasted sweet, If he could he would pull her closer, but there were no space in between him, His lips against hers, just felt so right, maybe it was her smell, or her soft lips, hell it could even be the be the fact that she was a very good kisser. And takato, liked the position he was in now.

[Amerie]

notes, lol, trying to keep it safe. XD

Takato's insatiable.

This Amerie just realized when he kept kissing her, and she kissed him back, too. Maybe she wasn't really the one to speak. Every time their lips made contact, something else took over her entirely.

She hold him close, if that was any more possible, really. Her hand creeping from the nape of his neck, now entwined in his blonde hair, using it as a leverage to kiss him deeper while her other arm is holding on to his shirt.

Normally, she wouldn't participate in these kinds of... activities. She just wasn't the type of girl for that. Especially at a place like this, it was so out in the open. And there were people around. (A class, nonetheless.) The possibility of them being caught was only exciting her, though deep down inside of her she knows she might regret this later on. (That is, if she was caught -- they were caught and they have to talk to higher up's.)

Amerie was losing herself to him.
[/color]

[Takato]

Takato was craving for her more and more each second. It was starting to drive him nuts. His hands sliding down her back. So tempted to grab her ass. Thats when he heard the Teacher yelling at the student, snapping back into reality. Still kissing her passionately, Takato started feeling... guilty. He wanted her so bad. but there's a time and place for everything, and this wasn't it. He hated to admit it, but it was true. For one They were supose to be in class. 2. they are on school grounds out in the open. Takato couldn't do that to Amerie. No not yet. she deserved a bed. Takato knew if he had stopped what was going on, she'd probably fall for him more, or just think he's an idiot for stopping what they had going. Takato was TORN!! TORN I TELL YOU! if there was on evil thing you could do to Takato was tease him get him in the mood and tell him he cant touch!!!! Takato then slightly pulled her away. Inches away from her lips, he had to resist.

"There's a time and place for everything, but I dont think now is the time" He whispered huskily into her ear.

[Amerie]

notes,

Amerie was left hanging when Takato pulled away from her. Never the less, she left a trail of kisses from his lips to his ear. What can she say? She's pretty much addicted to him. "What's the matter?" In her daze (having such an intense moment like that, who wouldn't be hazy after?), she didn't get to hear the teacher shout at her students. But she really didn't press too much questions on him, knowing that he was right.

Detaching herself from him and seating herself next to him, Amerie just laughed out loud. "Wow, what do you say after that?" she wondered somewhat audibly. While going over what just happened in her head, she caught a glimpse of the clock. It was only five minutes 'till dismissal time and she had to be somewhere for her next period; plus, she doesn't want to be caught skipping.

So she turned to Takato, a regretful look on her eyes but she was smiling. "Hey, uhm," she stumbled with her speech. "I have to go now. That... was..." she searched for the right term. "Fun -- lots of fun. So I'll, see you around, then?" Not even really waiting for a response, and if there were any, she had silenced him by pressing her lips once again on his and stood up to leave.

While walking to the doorway of her supposed classroom, she couldn't help but think: 'What have I just done?'[/color]
