Naureen *Queen of Randomness* x Kendra
That's sounds nice! Sounds original! So if you wanna play the girl, who will I play?
I was thinking the friend she calls. If you want it to go in a romantic direction, which is what I thought might be fun, the best friend could be a guy who has been crushing on her, which might be fun with the sheer number of romantic songs there are out there, or we could have it focus on her dealing with adjusting to the new curveball, though I think I'd prefer to do the romantic direction so that the entire focus wouldn't be on one character, since that gets really boring, really fast.
I like the romantic direction. I've noticed I enjoy doing mostly romance rps. :) oh but one more thing. I have to go soon so this might be my last post.
How many paragraphs do you do with detailed rps?
How many paragraphs do you do with detailed rps?
Oh and before I go: happy new year!
It really depends on my mood and what the other person gives me, honestly. If it's a few one line replies from the other person, it goes to a short paragraph, but if it's a writing kinda day, I go really long. Mostly, thought, it'd be about a medium paragraph or two.Happy new year to you, too! :D
same here! okay now I'm really leaving, so bye. my next post will hopefully be next year! :)
not any more!

He is awesome. :) Do you want to start by developing their relationship first or by starting with her music thing? Personally, I'd prefer world-building first.
Relationship building is nice, though it does take up a lot of time. But yeah, it be nice if we started off with that.
Well, if we do, like, a day at school, then when she goes home the music thing starts, we could build up how their relationship works, then start with the 'she's going crazy' stuff. XD
kk :D
can you start though?
oh and how far do you go with romance?

(As far as there is to go. XD)Marie walked towards the school in front of her and sighed, running a hand through her hair. She didn't particularly want to be there, since she hadn't exactly slept well the night before. All night, weird images of musical notes had been chasing her down. Finally, using a few lines from a staff, they had trapped her and just before they did anything she had woken up in a cold sweat. She had no idea what it meant, especially since she wasn't even all that good at music.
She walked up to her locker and opened it, throwing her backpack inside and grabbing the textbook she needed for maths, one of her favourite classes. When she closed her locker, she looked around for Brandon, her best friend and the only person she wanted to talk to at the moment. Maybe he had an idea as to what the crazy dream last night had meant.
Brandon parked his old '66 Ford Mustang in the school parking lot and got out. He picked up his back pack and headed inside the school. He smiled to everyone around him, looking for her.
He finally spotted her, standing at her locker, getting her books out. He was almost tempted to run to the restrooms to check if he looked good enough. She was just beautiful and he always wanted to look best in front of her. He walked slowly towards her.

Marie heard the whispers around her start from the other girls and grinned. She knew he was coming now. Whenever he was around, the other girls turned into complete ninnies, whispering and giggling about how they wanted him to look at them the way that he looked at her, but she knew it was just in a 'friend' kind of way. Of course, just like any other girl in the school, she had imagined her with him before and it was beautiful, but she doubted he felt that way about her, so she had dropped the thought ages ago, making the friendship work out better than others she had seen in the past. She turned, her hair whipping around in a spiral, before she looked at him and grinned. "Hey!" She rushed over to him and hugged him, her backpack slamming into her hip with a soft thud. "You're late!" Her tone was chastising, but her grin made it clear that she was only joking with him.
"Hi." Brandon put his arms around her to hug her back. honestly, sometimes he wished he could do more than that. that maybe Marie could act like the other girls and how they went crazy over Brandon. "Sorry for not coming at the appointed time your highness." he released her from the hug and gave her his best smile, the one he only saved up for her.
Marie grinned back at him, then curtsied to him. "I'll allow it this once, sire, but no more." She stared at him sternly for a moment before she was forced to grin, unable to help herself. She laughed and looped her arm with his, leading him down the hall to the jealous stares of the other girls. She rested her head on his shoulder as she watched the people part for him, the guys out of respect and the girls out of awe. She had no idea how this had come about for her friend, but she didn't care. It was good for at least one of them to be popular with other people, and she preferred it to be him anyway. "Why were you late, anyway? You nearly missed the bell."
Brandon held on to Marie. Though this may seem just friendship to Marie, he loved every moment he spent with her. as they walked down the hallways to their math class, girls looked at Marie with jealousy and Brandon just smiled at them all.
He thought back to the dream he had last night. it wasn't a new one; it was the same almost every night. It was about Marie all the time. He was crazy about her, ever since they became friends, he couldn't stop himself. he didn't want to stop himself. if Marie was so stuck on being friends in real life, then at least he could love her more in his dreams.
"uh, just woke up late. too lazy to get out of bed." he replied as they made their way into class.

Marie laughed and looked up at him. "Lazy bones!" She walked into their maths class, taking his hand instead of leaning on him so they could get through the door. Every time she did, she felt a weird trickle of electricity go down her spine that she couldn't explain, but she just tried to ignore it, putting it down to her just being weird each time. Once they were inside, she dropped his hand, smiling back at him, then sat down in their desk towards the back of the class. In this room, it was two students to a rectangular desk for when they had to be paired up, so it worked out perfectly for the pair.
Brandon loved it when she laughed. his heart almost skipped a beat every time she laughed. there was just something about it that made him happy. pretty much everything about her made him happy.
He took his seat next to her and set down his books on the table. "so, how was your night? sleep well?" he asked her as all the other students came into class.

"Not really. I had this really creepy dream about music notes trying to beat the crap out of me." Marie frowned and faced him, sitting sideways in her chair. "Do you have any ideas? You're the one who's good at music." She smiled at him and poked his arm gently, then laughed again, knowing the dream probably meant nothing. She turned back to the front as the bell rang and the teacher started to talk about their assignment for the day, something about the first half of the questions in one of the chapters. After she said go, Marie opened her book and just started to breeze through the questions, since math was her strong suit.
Brandon frowned. "huh. weird dream." then he smiled. "Did you wake up screaming?" he asked jokingly. "Did you cry? oh what I'd give to see you when you have a nightmare!" he chuckled softly as he worked on the questions. Math was an okay subject for him; there were times when he would get stuck and practically want to tear his hair in frustration. but he liked it that way, it gave him another reason to spend more time with Marie, who was a top student in class.
Marie laughed and shoved him with her shoulder. "Hey! That's not nice." She stuck her tongue out at him, but smiled after. When he had trouble, she leaned over and helped him, feeling the odd sensation every time she got close. Though she didn't know where it came from, she still liked it, so she tended to do whatever she could to make it happen.
Brandon loved it whenever Marie helped him out. She would get so close that he was almost tempted to kiss her right there and then. So he would seek every opportunity to try and get close to her, sometimes even pretending not to know things is she would help him out.
"So where do you want to go for lunch today?" They always ate at a new place everyday, trying out new places, and sometimes eating at their old favorites.

Marie smiled at him, looking into his eyes while she was close, then pulled away to look at her work again. She cocked her head at the question, then smiled over at him again. "How about... Tried and true today? Your favorite?" The teacher caught her attention to add another few questions to the list, making her roll her eyes at the redundancy, though most of the class grumbled at having to do more complex problems.
Brandon grumbled with the rest of the class. Math was not a good way to start the day. He looked down at the new set of problems. "We ate there just the day before yesterday. are you sure you wanna go back there?" he asked her.
"Why not? You like it, right?" Marie smiled at him and started on the problems, though after a moment, she got stumped. "Hm... Hey, have you done number 25 yet?" She looked over at him, biting her lip in thought.
"I don't mind going there." He replied back.
He looked down at his paper. "Yeah, but I may not may not be right." He leaned in close to her to explain the problem. Just then, the speaker in the classroom roared and the principle's voice filled the classroom.
((I'm thinking something along the lines that there is a winter dance and Brandon wants to ask Marie to it. Maybe even love songs involved in it?))

(That'd be brilliant! Make them both wonder if her feelings for him are from songs or from her. :D)Marie felt her heartbeat quicken for a moment when he leaned over, but the only result was her jumping at the noise. She made a small squeak, then blushed brightly, smiling sheepishly, and looked up at the speakers to see what their principle was going to say. He muttered some over-enthusiastic blather about the Winter Formal, the school's replacement for a homecoming dance, before signing off and the speaker going dead. Marie looked over at Brandon and smirked. "Sooo? Which lucky girl will you be asking? I hear Sarah is desperate for you to ask her."
Brandon smiled slightly. if there was one girl he desperately wanted to go out with, it was Marie. "I don't know. she's not really my type. and she's just like the other girls who want to go out with me." he looked down and pretended to look busy. "who are you going to go with?"
"No one. Do you know how many guys actually like me? Because I think the number might actually be in the negatives." Marie laughed and started finishing up the problems. "What about Meghan? She doesn't seem to be like all the other girls." She smiled at him as she finished up a problem, then leaned over and pointed out an error in his work. "That should be a three. You forgot to carry the one."
"well, I know one guy who'd love to take you." he quickly fixed his error. "thanks. and I'm not interested in Meghan so no, I'm not asking her." he tried to think of a good way to ask Marie to the dance.
Marie wrinkled her nose. "Who are you taking, then?" She wanted to know, just out of a kind of morbid curiosity, just to know who she would be replacing in her own imagination later. Ever since their first dance, she had replaced herself with whoever Brandon was dancing with, though she would never actually ask him to dance.
Brandon wasn't really sure how to ask Marie to the dance. If he told her right now that it was her, would it ruin their friendship? Guess only one way to find out. He looked up from his work straight into her eyes. He cleared his throat. "You."
Marie blinked at him, not registering the response at first. Then, after a moment, she blushed brightly and looked down. "Oh... I, uh... Well..." She mumbled, unable to stop herself from smiling. After another moment of stuttering, she looked up at him and smiled slightly. "Is that you asking me?"
Marie smiling only made him more nervous about this. What was he supposed to say now? By saying yes, would he sound desperate? This wasn't his first time ever asking a girl out. Then why was he so nervous and where the heck did these questions come from? "Uh, no. I mean yes, but no..." he stuttered and then took a deep breath. "Marie, will you go with me to the Winter Formal?" He quickly asked.
Marie's face fell when he said no, her heart sinking into her stomach. When he started to stutter between yes and no, it crumpled in confusion, absolutely lost. "Brandon, I--" She got cut off by his question, which only made her blush again. She looked down, honestly having to think for a moment. Of course she wanted to say yes, but she didn't know how the other girls in the class would act. If they glared at her now before they were anything but friends, what would they do when they found out he asked her to the Formal. After a second hesitation, she looked up at him and smiled slightly. "Yes."
Brandon was taken aback from the acceptance. He was almost expecting a no. How could she say yes? He thought she always saw them as nothing more than friends. Could it be possible that she had more feelings for him than she showed? Or was she just doing this as another out-of-kindness favor by saying yes.
And what now that she had said yes?
"um, great." He couldn't exactly think of any more to say right then. "guess we're a date now to the dance. uh, I'll pick you up at 8 on Friday?"
And what now that she had said yes?
"um, great." He couldn't exactly think of any more to say right then. "guess we're a date now to the dance. uh, I'll pick you up at 8 on Friday?"
Marie smiled at him and laughed softly. "Alright. I guess you can't come dress shopping with me this year. That sucks. You always knew where the best dresses were." She went back to her maths problems, wanting to get them done so she had no homework, but she wasn't really able to concentrate. After a short while, she looked over at him again, licked her lips nervously, and asked the question neither of them really knew the answer to. "Um... What are we now?"
Brandon didn't know the answer to her question. What were they now? Friends? A date? Both? But wouldn't that make them in a relationship, a girlfriend/boyfriend relationship?
Brandon hoped she couldn't see how nervous he was at the moment. A thought came to him, that he should've just asked Meghan or some other girl to the dance instead of Marie, but he quickly got rid of it. Marie made him happy, and he hoped to return the same feeling to her.
"I don't know." he replied. He looked up at her. "what would you want us to be?"

"I don't know." he replied. He looked up at her. "what would you want us to be?"
"Well... I..." Marie looked down and fiddled with her pencil. She didn't want to ruin their friendship, something that could easily happen. More than once it, she had seen a plethora of her friends end up crying because they had thought it would end well. At the same time, she really did want to date Brandon. Just being around him made her happy. "I... I want to date you, Brandon." She looked up at him and swallowed hard, suddenly absolutely terrified. What if he only wanted to go with me so he didn't have to go with another girl? What if he doesn't want to date me, he just wants to be friends... She started to panic, trying to get control of herself.
Brandon was first shocked at her words. had he imagined them or did she just say the words he'd been dying to hear from her. A rush of happiness filled him and he clasped Marie's hands in his. "I have been waiting for you to say those words ever since I met you." Then he caught himself. would she get upset at the fact that he had had a crush on her? or at the fact that while she'd treated it all as friendship while he always wanted more? "I mean... I... well, I kinda had a crush on you for a long time." he said quickly.
Marie smiled at him slightly, a blight blush colouring her cheeks as she saw how happy he was. "I can't say I didn't think about it..." She brushed her hair behind her ear and bit her lip. "Why didn't you say something sooner, though, silly?"
Brandon shrugged. "I didn't think you'd like me back. I thought you'd hate me for ruining our relationship." g he soon realized how easy it had been for him to say he liked her. he smiled to her. "what about you?"
"There are hundreds of girls falling all over themselves to date you, for even a single glance from you, even ones you've been out with. I didn't want to make things awkward between us when there are all those other girls you could like." Marie blushed lightly and shrugged. "I was just scared, I guess." She smiled at him again, feeling butterflies move around in her stomach when she thought about him being hers now.
One day, a girl is sitting in her room doing her homework. The song on the radio changes from a calming song to a violent, angry one. She suddenly has the overwhelming urge to start to smash things in her room. She breaks things in her room until the song ends, at which point she collapses and starts to panic before she turns off the radio and calls her friend, trying to calm herself down.
Anything else? Or would you rather do a different plot?
