I should blame it on the w e a t h e r [KATE]

[Joseph William Rydell]

"I never really looked that far into it. Maybe because I wasn't smart enough to?" he sighed, looking down, "I think the reason I'd enjoy it is because I'm maybe more old-fashioned and stuff. And a tad more monogymous than some guys?" he thought, staring down at the floor, then pulling his knees to his chest.
"Plus, seeing as I'm more of being on the romantic side it'd be easier for me to find who I'm supposed to be with. I've been handed from girl to girl." he rolled his eyes, "It's annoying after a while. I was home-schooled my whole life and the only social life I had was at the mall back home." he smirked.
"So, honestly, this is my first time in a school environment. Which means I get to see new characters because I'm not used to living in this state." he bit down on his lip.
"But not everything that works for one person works for another. It's the differences that make me this way. The differences between people--it gets me thinking 'what makes this person different from the other'?" he smiled, giving a look like he was questioning himself.

"Ugh. That piece of hair is annoying me." he laughed, leaning forward so he was now on his hands and knees, and moving the hair from her face, then moving back to where he was sitting, "There! That's much better for me! Better for you?" he asked with a wide grin, pulling his knees to his chest and wrapping his arms around his knees.
"You know, you look so beautiful in night, I bet the sun seriously becomes jealous of you--hell! The stars probably become jealous of you." he smiled warmly at her, then chuckled, cocking his head to the side.

"Oh I have the easy way out answers to those questions." Kate said. Her arms lifted, palms flat to the sky, her upper arms still pressed against her sides, her head tilted to complete this pose, and lips pursed out to the side.
"What can I say I know the answer to everything." she dropped the pose and went on to the good part. The answers.
"Well. One person is different from the next because scientific law, everyone has a different DNA build up. Kate proven fact, it would suck if everyone was the same. You'd be best friends with yourself, dating yourself; you'd be your own family. It would get not only lonely but very very strange." Once finished she laughed at her own way of seeing things.
She allowed him to fix her hair, and stood still as he talked, but her feet wanted to move. To get up and run. Not because she disliked him-- it was just like she felt she must always be moving, always doing something.
Leaning forward she pinched his cheek. And grinned, dancing away from him. Her arms extended to embrace the world, her head fell back as she leaned to the sky. She spun, and lost her balance, only to fall in a giggling heap against a wall.
I must look like I'm drunk
The thought amused her.
She smiled at him again. "Boo you're to cute. I'm going to cry when some lucky girl snags you for a boyfriend." Sighing she hung her head and pretended to cry. "It will be a loss of good testosterone to the world."
She nodded and laughed.

"Wow. When you put it that way it is strange. I wouldn't be able to put up with myself for more than five minutes. I can't compete with myself. I mean, come on!" he laughed, "I'd outdo myself which is honestly--pretty creepy." he shook his head, then looked up to her.

Grinning in response to when she pinched his cheeks, he laughed, "Well. Good testosterone? Didn't think that would be used in the same sentence as something that relates to me." he laughed, "I'm pretty sure I'm far from good testosterone. There's always better out there. I'm just more in touch with my... Feminine side, I guess." he frowned at the thought. He was more feminine than masculine in a way. Just looking at him, some women would confuse him for that of the feminine gender, "I doubt I'll be 'snagged' anytime soon, though. As easy as it is for me to fall in love, it's harder for me to actually date. Or speak to a woman."

It plain sucked.
"You're quite a hyper one, it seems." he stated with a wide grin before pointing to his smile, "You always like this?" he questioned curiously before lieing on his back and staring up at the sky.

"Like what? She said pointing to herself ,"Happy? No the world has nothing happy in it and I find no way to be happy, so I choose to see my days out in the drab bleak way that all depressed children do."
He bent her head down and stuck out her bottom lip, giving him that Shirley Temple look. She held this look for a few seconds before letting her head roll back against the wall.
"The truth is I love living. So I see it as, life’s to short to be anything but happy, so why fool yourself into being something else?"
She pulled her head up to give him a glance over, then shrugged. Her eyes closed with a sigh as she allowed her head to roll back.
But she did not forget herself. She was still dressed in that same all to short skirt, and she could not relax legs wide open. How whoreish was that?
Her legs were crossed infront of her. She tugged at her shirt as if it had become twisted out of place, which it had not. She began to hum to herself, left foot taping into the air before.
Oh what song was it this time?
If I had to guess I would say something new. But in reality she was hearing an oldies song-- when more then a handful of people made music because they loved it. When lyrics were allowed to send a personal message-- and when it took more then a few songs to make someone famous.

He watched her still, then quickly propped himself up on his elbows, smiling.
"It's just hard... To find people like you anymore. It's quite exciting, really. I never ever found people that were all happy. They were all 'woe is me' deal." he smiled wide, "I guess if there were more people like you about, there'd be more happiness. Because emotions are contagious." he nodded, laughing.
"Kind of like yawns can be contagious." he nodded once more, then looked down at his pants and very scrawny legs.
"Yep. But people don't think like that. They can't. Because the feelings of despair and lost hope are passed down from person to person and soon enough everyone believes life's nothing but a lie meant to hurt." he sighed, "If only there were more people that actually seen reality in a more positive view."
"They say one person can make a difference. Honestly, they can. But I'm pretty sure to make a huge difference to a large population--you'd need a majority." he smirked, looking at her, then tapping his left foot as if questioning himself, "Because something's not believed until it's like.. Heard by one person from several other people." he nodded.
"But someone as gullible as me--I'd only have to hear it once." he laughed.

Kate listened to his words. And became lost in them.
"Hunny you're so deep. But you're lossing me, Seph baby" she smiled, eyes still closed and head still rolled back against the the cold wall.
"You're trying to say that one person can make a change if they repeat it enough. Like if some girl told a ton of people she as going out with this guy, but she wasn't, it might become true? The way I see it, it might work. I mean-- like... If this girl told a lot of people and a ton of people told other people and more people knew, and the people told more people and him. At first he'd be mad, but then flattered, then the more he thought about it he might not deny it. He might want it?" She laughed and shook her head.
"What am I saying? I dunno what I'm talking about." smirk she pulled her head up and glared at Seph.
"You drugged me didn't you"

[Joseph William Rydell]

He laughed quietly, "Well. If you think about it. As funny as it sounds. Sometimes when a girl likes a dude. And stuff. For some reason, just sometimes, he gets a thing for her. I don't know.. I've noticed it sometimes. Guess it depends on how smart the dude is?" he smirked, "And if he's full of himself." he laughed.
He then sighed deeply, biting down on his lip and turning so he was laying on his stomach.
"I know I'm deep. I confuse even myself. And it comes back to me later on--then I'm confused... Again.." he frowned.
"I wonder why this isssss." he chuckled.
"So. What exactly do you do on nights like this, Tiger?" he smirked, "Besides wander around as a vampire--as you put it." he laughed under his breath, then smiled up at her, "Unless finding your next victim to bite is what you do." he nodded his head once, "Which I'm cool with that, you know?" he smiled wide still--something he seemed to always do.

[Koneko VonDee/Lainey VonDee]

Koneko watched them flirt.She couldn't take it.She suddenly burst into tears and covered her face with her hands,showing all her scars and fresh cut wounds on her arms and wrists.
Koneko now had two boys that could care less about her.She had to tell him.
"Ry...I love you."She let flow from her lips.
She watched him as she suddenly cried again.

[Bob The Unnamed]

Kate jumped from her lazy position.
It was Koneko. She moved quickly to her feet, eyes confused as she looked at this picture.
"I love you..."
Oh gawd, those were some powerful words that slipped so eaily from Koneko. She gasped as her friend broke into tears. She reached to try and help Koneko's hurt heart. But all this did was make her go througha guilt trip.
She had no idea that Koneko liked Seph.
Why the hell am I flirting with him? Shit this sucks
Shit had become a word she used very often now, if you've noticed.

[/size]

[Koneko VonDee/Lainey VonDee]

Koneko looked warmly to Kate.
"You are so much prettier than I am.I hope if you really like him...he chooses you."Koneko said as she stopped crying.
She felt her hand clasping a razorblade in her pocket,tightly.It was slowly cutting into her right hand,deeply.

[Joseph William Rydell]

"What the hell!? I don't want to be with anyone. No one. I flirt. Yes, I flirt. But I have to really, really, really know someone before I really fall." he paused, "In love." he shook his head.
"I may crush on someone. But it doesn't mean I'll date them. And the whole-- Just. It's not good to fall for someone like me. I don't even have a job. I can't support a girlfriend or anything, I'm a romantic, yeah. And I have a lot of money. Sure. As everyone puts it, buuuuut. I only spend it on myself. Because I buy expensive things!" he grunted.

"Mmm. This is too much for me to think about, right now." he muttered under his breath, sitting down and shaking his head, holding his head in his hands and sighing deeply, not bothering to look up.

"Dammit." he muttered under his breath.

[Bob The Unnamed]

Kate looked towards the ground, rocking on her heels.
Well this is akward... were the only thoughts she could pull up.
She simply would not take part in this-- odd fightish thing between these two. They needed to work it out... NOW
Who knows what would happen if they didn't?
Sure Koneko could run away, but that wouldn't solve anything. Maybe if they just talked it out? Maybe?
Sighing she backed up, first she felt herself come to a wall, looking to the left she found a bench and sat.
Just talk about it. her thoughts hissed.

[/size]

[Koneko VonDee/Lainey VonDee]

Koneko looked at Ry.She bit her lip.Suddenly she started to cry....loudly.Her thoughts couldn't slow down.She wanted to run....wanted to just take the blade to her wrists and get it over with.She looked at Ry again,her tears mixing with blood comming from somewhere on her body.Her palms.She had dug her nails into her palms to try and focus away from her crying.Yes...crying...that was all she could do anymore.

Koneko looked at Kate.She rubbed her hands on the short hair she had from the doctor's visit and the surgery.
"I...I am sorry...I was just diagnosed with cancer...it is attacking my lungs..I may not have long to live...EXCUSE ME FOR CARING ABOUT SOMEONE FOR ONCE YOU SELFISH LITTLE RAT!!!"She screamed at him.
Her feet moved quickly as she ran to the balcony edge and lept onto it.She put her arms out,and postioned herself to jump.
"No one gives a rat's tail about me...so why should I care if I live or die?"Koneko sobbed.
She didn't want to jump,her feet shifted and the balcony railing broke.She was suddenly falling,faster and faster.She hit the ground with a large force and just layed there.

[Joseph William Rydell]

He sighed, watching, then biting down on his lip.
"I should have known this would happen." he muttered, looking down slowly, then shaking his head.
"Dammit. For once." he sighed, shaking his head.
"Would there be.. No trouble for me!? Dammit. Kateeee. I don't know what to do." he whispered quietly before staring at the floor.
"I'm not a screwup. But this isn't right to me or her. Nor is it fair. Gossssh." he shook his head, "What do I do!?" he swallowed hard.

[/size]

[Koneko VonDee/Lainey VonDee]

Koneko stood up.With some regret she looked up at how far she had fallen.Her head was woozy and she felt very sick.She looked at Ry,her eyes full of tears.She clutched her sides.
"I think I broke my ribs."Koneko said as she spit up blood.

Koneko walked up the steps and walked out onto the balcony.She suddenly collapsed,unable to move.
"Ry...why...why?"She cried as blood poured from her mouth.
