CFYS- Realistic

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"Not if we hurry," Matt said, but he was interrupted by the bell.

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

Sawyer frowned and handed him the last of his things before running down the hall.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

Matt walked as fast as he could to his next class- there was a rule about running in the halls- and opened the door quietly, hoping his teacher wouldn't notice he was late. His teacher noticed.

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

She slid into her class and, head down, slid into a desk. No one said a word.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

Matt was having a mental freakout. What would his mom say when she found out he got a tardy? What if this was just a long string of tardies to come? What if he got expelled? What if he was arrested? This was not good.

((hehe, I just thought of a scene for my NaNo from this.))

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

((really?))

((hahahah. Matt makes me chuckle. Thinking about being arrested, all because of one tardy. Goes to show what happens when you think too much on one thing. :P))

Sawyer obediently copied her notes and then skipped most of the class, wandering the halls aimlessly.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

((Matt is a hardcore goody-two-shoes.))

((The scene is that he is late to a class because of Henri and then he starts freaking out and jumping to the worst case scenario.))

Matt chewed on his pencil.

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

((I know. It makes him so cute. :D))

She eventually found her locker and spun the lock a few times, stopping on various numbers until it clicked open. She pulled it out and opened the door, shoving her bag in and leaving herself with only her worn black --now almost grey with use-- fabric bound notebook and a black calligraphy pen. She slipped outside.

((what season is it?))

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

((Late summer, beginning of school, I think.))

Matt tried to calm down. "It's just a tardy," he said quietly to himself. "Just one tardy."
"Excuse me, Mr. Lawrence?" the teacher said. "Do you need to announce something to the class?"
"Um, no," Matt said, digging into his pencil with his nails.
"Then please keep your mouth shut," she said, as she wrote his name on the board.

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

((oh wow I'm dumb. *facepalm* I forgot it was the beginning of school. Thanks))

((oh poor Matt!))

Sawyer sneaked over to a pretty robust tree and sank to a sitting position with her back pressed against the bark of it. She opened her notebook and began to write with abandon, tears stinging her eyes but not falling.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"But I wasn't talking to anyone!" Matt said. "I was just talking to myself!"
Snickers could be heard across the room, and Matt's face flushed red.
"Are you talking back to me?" the teacher said, glaring at Matt.
"No, ma'am!" he squeaked out.
She put a check next to his name.

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

((Matt! You're digging your own grave!))

She let her head fall back against the tree, watching the way the sunlight filtered through the leaves like light through stained glass or the tissue paper projects of a kindergarten class. She didn't smile at the memories it brought, as all they did was stab her heart.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

((Hehehehehe. I can't wait until I actually get to write this scene. It's going to be great. Poor, poor, Matthew...))

"A check mark?" Matt said. "I can't get a check mark! I didn't do anything!"
"Don't take on that sarcastic, snotty tone with me," the teacher said.
"I wasn't being..." Matt shut his mouth when he saw her face.
"To the principal's office," she said crisply.

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

((I feel bad for him already. :D))
((AGH!))

Sawyer closed her eyes and wished silently for the quiet peace of home.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

Matt bit his lip and stood up.

"Have fun with your mommy," one of the boys said, snarkily.

Matt didn't wait to see the surprise in the new teacher's eyes as he left the classroom and headed towards the office.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

Matt was about to walk into his mom's office when she stepped out the door, a phone in her hand. She smiled at Matt and held up a finger.

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

((Oh. My. Gosh. The principal's his mom!?))

She stood up and clutched her book and pen to her chest, calculating exactly how long it would take her to walk home. As if her mother would care if she skipped almost a whole day of school.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

((Yes ma'am! :))

He waited patiently as she carried out a lengthy conversation. He wondered if she could tell he was sweating through his shirt.

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

((ack, poor, poor, poor Matt!))


Sawyer didn't bother with going all the way back to her locker and retrieving her bag: she just started off in the direction of home and took her sweet time.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"So, bud, what's up?" Mrs. Lawrence, Matt's mom, said once she had pocketed her phone. "How's your first day going?"

"Okay," Matt said nervously. "But I..."

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

((*chuckles*))

She was not even surprised that no one had tried to make her stay. In a weird and oddly detached way, she had actually hoped someone would.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"Missed you," Matt said and gave his mom a quick hug before dashing to the boy's bathroom.

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

She kept her head down as she walked, eyes narrowed, steps quiet. The path she walked along was dirty and well-trodden. It was logical to assume it was a well-used path that saw a lot of visitors. And, well, if she wrong? What would it really matter anyway.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"Matt?" he heard his mom's voice from the other side of the door. He groaned and stepped out. That was a stupid plan.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

((gtg, going to try to actually write. Noel's been on my case.))

[tesni]

Esmeralda went to her locker, consulting her timetable and taking out the books and such she needed. She had music all afternoon, but for the whole morning she had enough books and files to carry around to break her back.

((I'll be playing in a consort tonight from 6:30 until 9, so I should be able to RP by 9:30 BST or so.))

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"Can we talk after school?" she said, barely looking at him. "I have a lot to get done."

"But I..." Matt started to say, but she had already walked back to her office and shut the door.

He stood in the hallway, not sure what to do.

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

Sawyer, when she got to her house, veered to the left of it and dashed towards her old tree house. She climbed up and slung her legs over the edge, looking down at the ground, remembering old times. Back when this was just a vacation house and not my home.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"You lost?" Matt said, noticing a confused looking girl, even through his own mental confusion.

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

Sawyer laid back and watched the leaves move in the trees.

[tesni]

Esmeralda went outside,consulting her schedule for the day. She had music most of the afternoon, so went back to wonder the corridors looking for the music rooms.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"Just walk down the hall and then turn left. The front doors are right there," Matt said. "But school isn't over yet, and you can't just leave campus randomly."

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

Matt nodded, "Right. I forgot about that since I don't have one."

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"Probably," Matt said. "But it depends on what you want to get out of or add. You could talk to my mom, er, the principal, if you want."

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

((Awesome! You are very welcome. Roleplaying with characters from my stories always gives me so many ideas. It's great.))

"Really? Who's your dad?" Matt said, wondering how he didn't know about one of his teacher's daughters. He'd been to pretty much every single teachers house and they'd all been to his with their families at least once.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"Africa?" Matt said, a little bit distracted from his current situation. "Have you ever been there?"

[tesni]

Esmeralda couldn't help but wonder if she would ever be rid of the awkward new-girl feeling she got every time she switched schools.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"That's really interesting!" Matt said. He had done a report on Africa in 7th grade, and he wanted to go there as a missionary for a year during college.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"Really?" Matt said, his eyes lighting up. "I want to go there as a missionary sometime! It'd be so cool. Ah! You're so lucky! What's it like in Africa?"

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"I'll bet," Matt replied, jumping as the bell rang.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

"I'm headed to Algebra," Matt said, making a face. "I'm Matt Lawrence."

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

Matt started walking to the room, resigned to the fact that he was going to get another tardy.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

Matt took his second tardy of the day, and started twiddling his thumbs.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

His mind drifted to Sawyer and his mom.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

Matt saw Catie pull out a journal out of the corner of his eye. He almost asked her what she was writing, but what had happened in last period stopped him.

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

Sawyer opened her notebook to a new page and began scrawling her newest poem.

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

((Sawyer's at home right? Or somewhere outside?))

He fidgeted through the next class and then headed to lunch. He'd sat down at an empty table in the cafeteria, when he realized had had forgotten a lunch. He could borrow money from his mom... but that would involve talking to her.

[Ky, Hay gurl hay~]

((somewhere outside. I changed the location.))

[Elliott, I LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB.]

He headed to her office, but the lump in his throat would've prevented him from talking to her anyways. He looked around to make sure nobody saw him, and slipped outside, to get some fresh air before his next class, which he vowed not to be late to.
