Nightly Study Session (Open)

[tea]

Isley walked into the elevator after the doors slid open and after Faye walked in first, of course. He looked down and watched her in thought. Isley was beginning to become certain that Faye hadn't much experience in this area compared to him. Hopefully, she had no experience like his. Cherish was adorable, he loved Cherish, and he didn't consider her an accident, (anymore, like he had when Bonnie told him), but he wasn't going to tell Faye, or any other girl he dated here at T'zenshin about her because he was sure that they would run away from him. As long as Faye never finds out, then everything would go along smoothly. Besides, they just met so it was silly of him to be thinking about serious topics so soon. They were just high school students.

Isley blinked when he realized he had been staring at Faye too long and then looked away to watch the numbers above the elevators doors light up as they rose from floor to floor. "I'm surprised, Faye, I would think that plenty of other men would have tried to walk you up to your room. You're very cute, you know." He said, offering her a pleasant smile. If there was any expression that Isley used the most, it was that one. He realized that thinking about Faye, Bonnie and Cherish together had somehow dampened his mood.

[Faye]

Faye had stepped into the elevator after Isley, she stood beside him, but not close enough so air couldn't pass between their arms, so they weren't touching. She wasn't sure how she would go about this since Isley would have to be the real first attempt she had with guys since middle school, even then she hadn't exactly counted that as anything, nothing even happened.

She didn't notice him staring at her, she kept her eyes in front of her, watching the numbers go up and up as they grew closer to her floor. As the numbers got higher, she felt herself feeling a little sad, Isley would have to go soon...

"Hm?" She said, blinking a bit as she averted her fixed gaze from the numbers to Isley's gorgeous face. A blush rose to her cheeks as she processed what he had said, "A-ah! Um... well, I don't really look for people like that... all the time.. I usually just talk to everyone normally," As if they were all her friends, she was good like that.

[tea]

Isley blinked, a little surprised by what Faye had just said, or by what sounded like she was saying. "You weren't talking to me normally?" He asked, even though he was sure she didn't mean it that way. Amused, he went on, "Nonetheless, I'm sure there's plenty looking at you in that way, no matter how you talked to them."

This time, he waited for Faye to exit first when the elevator doors slid open because he didn't want to be any less of gentleman, and then followed her to her room. Even though he doubted that Nicolette, the Student Council President, would jump out and waggle her finger at him disapprovingly, (that pose sort of reminded him of his grandmother), Isley glanced about the hallway to see if any female students were up and lurking the hall. Not like he could go back now anyway, and from this experience, Isley secretly admitted that he enjoyed disregarding the rules every now and again especially in front of Faye, since it made him look cool. Maybe he'd do it again sometime.

[Faye]

"I was talking to you normally, I still am," She exited the elevator as they came to her floor. Her dormitory was just passed the middle of the hall, she wondered for a brief moment if Haruka would be home or not. She couldn't help but blush a little more as Isley said people would still look at her in a romantic or even sexual way, she hadn't been complimented so much by a guy directly before. She was always bouncing to other people to talk to them before anyone could really get a chance to give them, she guessed.

They came to her dormitory, room 507. She stood beside it and turned around to look at Isley. "I guess.. this is good bye for now?" She said, a saddened glint entering the look in her eye, "Unless you'd like to come... in for a bit..?" The idea was weird, plus she had no idea how Haruka would act, or if she was out somewhere. She hoped Haruka was off with that Rai guy she was talking about a while back.

[tea]

Isley opened his mouth to bid Faye a good night and then shut it when she suggested she come into her room. He wasn't sure how to reply for a minute. Enter a girl's dorm, a dorm of a girl that he had just started dating so late at night? The only time he'd ever been in a girl's living quarters at this time of night was when certain activities were involved, and he didn't want to associate those feelings with Faye, not just yet anyway. He was certain that Faye wasn't that type of girl, she hadn't the same things on her mind as he did, obviously.

Isley averted his eyes from Faye's face and blushed ever so lightly. "Maybe that isn't a good idea.. It's very late after all and.." He said and held up the bag of books Faye checked out from the library. "And you still have to study for your quiz tomorrow.. I wouldn't want to keep you from that." He couldn't believe he was thinking such things, he knew that Faye had nothing of the sort in mind. She just didn't seem like the type.

[Faye]

"A-ah, hmm..."

She thought about what he said very carefully, she glanced down at the carpeted floor, trying to think up some sort of excuse for him to come inside for a little while, she felt compelled to staying longer around him since she knew she wouldn't randomly see him at school, maybe she should just wait until he called her after school tomorrow. Yeah, that sounded like a good idea... maybe she should just do that.

"Yeah, I suppose it isn't such a good idea for now, I'll talk to you when you call?" She said, covering up any kind of desperation for some kind of contact with him effectively. She reached out and took the bag of books from Isley's hold, placing them down on the floor on the inside of her dormitory after she opened the door a little bit, they leaned up against the inside of the wall she was standing beside.

[tea]

Isley was relieved that Faye was agreeing with him, but also slightly disappointed that she wasn't seducing him at the moment. Oh well, he'd live. He had already assumed Faye wasn't the type anyway. He nodded in response to her question. "Yes, tomorrow, right after I come in from class. Perhaps around three or four PM?"

[Faye]

Faye smiled lightly, "I look forward to it," She said as she gently closed her eyes and broadened her smile. She then began to think for a moment as her eyes reopened, falling straight upon Isley's gorgeous face. Since her books her placed down on the floor, she took a step gingerly forward, "..um," She opened her arms, loosely wrapping them around his middle for a brief embrace.

[tea]

"As do I," Isley said and smiled. His heart skipped a beat in his chest as he watched the smile widen on Faye's face. He almost wished he didn't have to leave just yet, and would have accepted her invitation into her dorm. He stood still, caught by surprised when Faye stepped forward and embraced him. After a moment, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and gently returned her embrace.

[Faye]

As Isley wrapped his arms around her shoulders, she felt her heart skip a beat and begin to speed up. As they embraced, her head was rested against his chest, she could hear the beat of his heart going flat out. A smile crept onto her lips, pleased to see he was feeling the same as she was.

She blinked as she realised she had been like that for quite some time now and took a step back as she slowly took her arms away from his middle. "I'll.. see you round?" She said, not liking that she had to say it like that. But she really had no idea when they would see each other again. They were in two different grades, hardly any classes except for P.E were tied in with Twelfth and Tenth grade. They'd probably end up having to organise their meetings. She took another step back, now standing inside her dormitory, ready to step further in once Isley said good bye and left.

[tea]

As Isley held Faye, he thought of nothing else, which was a little strange for him because his head was usually constantly buzzing with thoughts no matter what. He enjoyed the sweet scent of her shampoo, (was it pineapple?), and for an instance thought that she felt and fit nice against him. Despite his head being cleared, his heart was still pounding though.

When Faye started to pull away from him, he realized it was time to let go, so he did so and fought the urge to hold on longer. Honestly, he was just fine leaving Faye with a simple good night a few minutes ago because he knew he'd see her again soon, and he could just call her up when he wanted to see her, but he didn't want to leave. If Faye was constantly going to be like this, then he foresaw a very difficult path of inner battle ahead in his future. He nodded, and hesitantly stepped away from her door. "Yes, see you again soon." Isley smiled shortly, and turned to walk to the elevator down the hall. He completely forgot that the elevator was in the opposite direction.

[Faye]

Faye didn't want to let go either, she wished she could just invite him back in where she could hug him some more. She was unsure, but she knew she definitely liked to hug him. She would do that tomorrow. At lunch. OH! She had forgotten about lunch. She would text him and tell him to meet her somewhere in the cafeteria or something, that was always a good place...

Just as she was about to close the door she realised that there was no elevator where Isley was going. She was sure of that. She had tried multiple times. "Uh... Isley?" She called out, stepping into the hall way again. A puzzled look played out on her face. "I'm pretty sure the elevator is.. that way." She said as she pointed in the opposite direction. The way that they came.

[tea]

Isley stopped when he heard Faye call out to him again and turned back. He blinked, and realized that the elevator was indeed in the opposite direction. He blushed brightly, and ran his hand through his hair. He made mistakes like this daily, but he didn't want to make them in front of Faye. "I knew that, I was just.." He looked back in the direction he was going and then back to Faye. "I just decided to take the stairwell down. Exercise is good, you know." He nodded and bid her another good night, before quickly heading off towards the stairwell entrance and exiting the hallway.

[Faye]

Buying his little lie about where he was going, Faye giggled lightly, realising that there was a stairwell that way but she never made it that far usually as it was a door like the rest of the doors in there hall way so she always assumed it was another dormitory... without a room number. Ah, she felt stupid now.

"Good night," She called out after he bid her another good night. She wanted another hug, too, but she would have to wait until they met up again. She walked inside her dormitory, closing the door gently behind her where she picked up her bag that weight a tonne and made her way to her room to begin studying for her chemistry quiz but her mind often wandered over to the thought Isley.
