We'll Float On Alright... (Open)

[Faye]

Upon noticing her reaction to the mention of ice-cream, Isaak knew he was slowly moving into her good books, or neutral books, better not get too hopeful. He was most likely still on the road to making it up to her, even after treating her to ice-cream.

He nodded, "I'll just wait out here for you," He replied, walking over to the bleacher stands to sit beside his backpack. Once she was in the changing rooms, he unzipped one of the pockets, fishing around inside for his wallet. He peered inside it, ah, he did have his card and some left over cash from the previous night.

[Kyerin]

Rhia nodded in response to the boy, and made her exit towards the dressing room, quickly shedding the swimsuit so that she could shower and completely clean up. A quick stop by her locker allowed her to acquire some soap and shampoo, which assisted with her becoming clean and chlorine free. She did take her time in the shower, though it wasn't incredibly long since there was someone waiting for her.

The girl dried off before tugging on fresh clothes, most noticably a black blouse and a matching skirt, before slipping on white socks and tennis shoes. Her red ribbon was left in her locker for now, considering that her hair was still wet (though the towel had help it dry out some). Completely dressed now, and with her swimming gear placed in her gym locker (she'd come back later to get them), she exited the changing room, smiling at Isaak. "All done!" she said cheerily. Maybe it was the few minutes of maturity she had over her "younger" sister, but she didn't mind boys that much; sure, she wasn't really at a stage where she was trying to get them to notice her, but she wasn't avoiding them like they were infected.

[Faye]

Isaak sat quietly on the stand, watching the water slowly become still, only rippling slightly as a light breeze brushed over the top of the surface. His eyes wandered up, seeing the scenery at a different level, his mood was more tranquil and concentrated now that he had cleared things up with the girl so he could see the beauty of what he was trying to look at previously.

He knew what he was going to do for his art project, now.

With a small smile spread across his lips, he awaited Rhia's return.

When she did, he nearly jumped out of his skin again. "A-ah! That's.. that's good," He stood up from his seat, his heart thudding in his ears. He was very skittery for some reason, although the girl was quite abrupt with her entrance. "Shall we go?" He picked up his bag, slinging it over his shoulder. She looked even cuter in this outfit.

[Kyerin]

Rhia couldn't help giggling as the boy seemed to almost jump to his feet as she returned; he had been doing so much better after she was acting nice, and here he was, all jittery again. He was a very amusing individual, and him being an artist wasn't too bad... maybe she could get something made for her. That would be nice, and probably make her sister a bit jealous, which would also be fun.

She nodded, before gesturing towards the door. "Of course. Lead the way." She wished that she had something else to add to her attire, but she had just brought minimal clothing for a swim. If she knew she was going out, she would have added a bracelet or two... maybe some earrings as well... or at least a watch. Oh well, the time wasn't that important.

[Faye]

He forced himself to calm down, taking a deep breath when Rhiannon wasn't looking. He smiled as she said to lead the way and led her out of the gymnasium and out into the school halls. It wasn't like they were going to miss much, lunch was coming up followed by the last few periods of the day, which he had english and... orchestra, he would be back for orchestra, definitely.

On their walk, he contemplated linking arms but they were on acquaintance terms right now, and he had acted like a creepy stalker earlier so he crossed it off the list. "Soo... what grade are you..?" He asked, to break the silence.

[Kyerin]

Rhia made sure to follow the boy quickly and quietly, not drawing too much attention to herself as they went. It was lunch now, and Cerys might be eating in the cafetera... though she may have gone back to the room and found her sister missing. Probably by the end of the day, somehow, her sister would know... and they would have a chat about it later. For being such a people person, she sure didn't like guys.

The girl looked up at Isaak, smiling a bit as they continued to walk towards their destination. "I'm in eighth grade," she said with a hint of pride, before looking curiously at him. "I know I've seen you in one of my classes... but only one of them. Are you a different grade?" She wondered if she should hold his hand... nah, that was more of a friendly dating thing, and they definately weren't dating. The bribery of ice cream, though, was pushing him from being a stalker to a friend... though it may take more than that.

[Faye]

Isaak glanced back at her, seeing her wet blonde hair sticking to her face, seeing her beautiful features properly now that she was scolding him for being a creepy stalker.

His mouth gaped a little as she replied to his question. Eighth grade..? Wow, okay, even for a year younger, 13 and 14 seemed like a bigger jump than any other one year age gap. No matter, he just wanted to get into her good books for now. Was that the only thing he wanted? Did he want more than just to be on her good side? Maybe a friendship..? Or..?

Oh for... He swallowed the want, biting his tongue a little. "Oh yes, we share Algebra I together, don't we? I remember now.. I'm in ninth grade," He said, a small smile curving on his lips.

[Kyerin]

Rhia noticed that the boy was looking at her again, though it didn't seem to be as creepy this time considering that they were talking instead of him watching her while she didn't know he was there. She also noticed that a few strands of hair were sticking against her cheeks, causing her to blow against her bangs before finally pushing them out of the way; hopefully her hair would fully dry soon.

Oh, so he was a year older than her, was he? That made things more interesting... though him having algebra with her meant that he had that class with her sister... hopefully he didn't know that they were twins... though considering how nice he was being, she couldn't really swap with Cerys since she would find it ucky to be with him. Instead, she smiled, nodding lightly towards Isaak. "Okay, so we share math... why is that? You're in ninth grade..." There weren't really set classes for each grade, but besides electives, to have classes with multiple grades was uncommon... was she and her sister a pair of geniuses (well, mathwise)? Or was he... a bit slower in that department?

[Faye]

From memory, Isaak hadn't noticed the two of them being there, he only faintly remembered Rhiannon, or it could have even been Cerys, he wouldn't know since he didn't realise she had a twin sister. "Uh, well.. mainly because I don't really like geometry, I prefer Algebra over it," He replied, smiling nervously. Hopefully she didn't think he was slow in the math department or anything.

That would be bad. "What's your favourite flavour of ice-cream?" He asked, turning the subject from their classes.

[Kyerin]

Rhia nodded lightly, before sticking out her tongue at the thought. "I asked someone about the geometry class, and instead of it being fun with shapes and such, it turned out to be a bunch of writing and proving things, which sounds booooooorrrriiiinnngg. I hope I can avoid it." Math barely beat out science in being her least favorite subject... though with the way things were going, the two may trade places.

However, at the topic change, her expression changed as well, the girl's eyes practically shining as she shifted from walking to lightly skipping. "I... I dunno if I can pick just one," she said, resting one finger on her lips, almost in her own little world again, not paying much attention to Isaak. "I mean, the basics like chocolate and strawberry are good... but how can you say no to cookie dough and mint swirl?" If she had one weakness, it was her sweet tooth.

[Faye]

The boy blinked. Wow, she really talked once she got going. It was nice to hear her speaking without that annoyed, irritated tone in her voice, it sounded genuine. "Exactly my point, at least next year, I can take Algebra II and not have to worry about Geometry," He said with a small smile.

A light chuckle escaped his lips as she went through the flavours she liked, they were good. But he had a soft spot for jelly tip ice-cream, and cookies and cream. Especially cookies and cream flavoured thick-shakes. Mmm~ "You can get both of those, if you'd like."

[Kyerin]

Rhia shook her head lightly, both to get her out of her ice cream daydreams and in response to his comment. "No, I can't... cause if I get two, I'll want four... and if I get four, I'll want eight... and sooner or later, I'll have run you all out of money, and have too much ice cream for one person to eat. It would end up bad for everyone. So, I'll just stick with one flavor... though I'm gonna have a tough time picking one."

The girl smiled, before looking up at Isaak, tilting her head to the side. "So, how are the other ninth year classes? Are they hard?" She really wished she didn't have to take the core classes; when was she going to need to know about when some empire invaded some other one in the real world? She wasn't... well, maybe she would... she wasn't too sure what she was going to do after school. That was a long way away.

[Faye]

Again, Isaak was confused and shocked by the way she spoke, how she explained how things would go if he let her get two flavours inside of just one. He nodded slowly, agreeing, and not pressing the matter any further. Just one flavour then..

"Uh, not really, they're just a step up from Eighth grade classes, and I suppose tests are graded differently and they expect more from you, but it isn't that much harder.." She seemed like a smart girl anyway, she'd be fine.

[Kyerin]

Rhia nodded a bit in reply to his comment. "They all seem to be like that," she replied lightly, before looking at the street, her skipping fading back to walking. Stupid classes... course, she couldn't say much about them, considering that she was skipping them for today. She should probably take them more seriously... probably.

However, the girl was distracted by the appearance of the ice cream shop. Her mouth drooled lightly, and her eyes widened as she ran up to the door, pressing her face into the glass, staring inside at it. "Oooooooooo," she said, as if forgetting that Isaak was going to buy some for her and she could actually go inside.

[Faye]

"Unfortunately, that's just the way it goes," He said, watching her stop skipping and walk up to the ice-cream shop which had appeared in view before he knew it. The walk hadn't taken as long as he thought it would've. He laughed when she pressed herself up against the glass, peering inside.

He opened the door, "C'mon, inside~ so we can get you some," He walked in, his eyes immediately going to the price boards up top instead of the flavours they had.
