* Charlotte watches Ivy's reaction. "... Guess that answers that question." * Ivy stops eating and leans her knees up against her chest, her arms hugging them. What did she do? She didn't hurt you, did she? * Ivy doesn't move for a moment and then she glances down the direction of where Jeremy went. * Charlotte sips on her drink as she changes the subject. "So... You did Aikido, huh? What is that, anyhow? Some kind of Japanese sport?" * Ivy lifts an arm up so she can gesture with her hand in the 'sort of' way. * Charlotte nods. She takes a bite out of her sandwich. "I'm not very good at sports, myself." * Ivy eats one more chicken nugget and then dumps the rest into the small pocket of her bookbag. After eating a couple more fries, the fries go in there too. * Charlotte pulls out a pear and starts in. Mmmm... fruit. She casually asks, "Would you let Jeremy tell me about you?" * Ivy zips the pocket up and brings out her drawing notebook and a pencil. She then glances over to Charlotte, studying her. * Charlotte smiles at Ivy. "I want to know, but I won't ask if you don't want me to." * Ivy looks a moment longer and then finally gives a small nod. She then turns to her paper and moves to the next fresh page. A drawing of a ghost might have been visible there for a second before she flipped it. She begins idly doodling. * Charlotte smiles. "Thanks." She watches Ivy draw. * Ivy draws... a cupcake! Oooh, sprinkles. * Charlotte grins at that. "I could go for one of those." * Ivy gives Charlotte that similar small smile and then stands up. She moves her drawing pad to under her arm and gestures for Charlotte to walk with her. * Charlotte gets up. She grabs her bag, a curious look on her face. * Ivy walks... and walks. She then stops at a locker and twirls the lock around until the combo is liked and bam! open locker. There's a Tupperware circle on top of some of her books, and on top of that, is a plastic bag with four, gasp!, cupcakes! * Ivy takes the bag out, takes out a cupcake, and hands it to Charlotte. It has green frosting and blue sprinkles! Yummy! * Charlotte blinks. "Wow!" She takes one and tries it. * Charlotte grins. "It's good! Did you make these?" * Ivy eyes Charlotte as she tries it. She then gives a little wider smile at the compliment. She nods, pauses, and then brings her drawing pad over so she can write, 'Jeremy helped.' * Charlotte grins. Er... continues to grin? "Give him my thanks then." * Charlotte eats the whole thing. * Ivy nods once more, smile still present, and then puts the remaining cupcakes back on top of the container. (Now give me a con doubled against poison roll! *Cackles*) So you cook, too? That's neat. * Ivy moves her thumb and pointer finger together to show the idea of 'a little bit.' She closes her locker. * Charlotte nods. "That's neat," she repeats. * Ivy glances at the clock. She just might have a concept of time! How exciting! What else do you like to do? * Ivy pauses a moment and then shrugs. [Right about now, a teacher is coming down the hall. Oh no! She's in her late twenties or so, with frizzy brown hair in a ponytail, green eyes behind glasses, a book in her arm, and a scowl on her face. She's wearing slacks and a short- sleeved blouse, and she's spotted you, changing her course to walk up.] (Do either of the teens recognize the teacher?) ( Her name is Vampi Vampira. She's Romanian ) (Ooooh.) (If you heard horror stories about the Latin teacher from anyone, you'd know she's Gail Balen, and she's a tough grader. If you've played hooky or ran around during lunch period frequently, she's probably caught you from time to time, too.) (GAIL! *Dances*) (Love her! She hates you.) * Ivy glances at the teacher walking over to them, not looking at all guilty. Likely because she's not feeling it. * Charlotte glances at Ivy, "Uh oh..." ["Let me guess," Ms. Balen says, her accent distinctly British, "The two of you have lunch this period, too."] * Ivy nods. * Charlotte nods. "Yeah. Ivy forgot something from her locker, so we came to get it. We'll head back now." [She holds her hand out. "IDs, please." It's certainly not a question.] * Ivy takes her ID out from her back jeans pocket. Handy, that. She offers it over. [Ms. Balen takes it, looks it over, and hands it back without a word. She looks to Charlotte.] * Charlotte takes her ID out and hands it to Gail with the face of a prisoner facing an execution. [She does the same for Charlotte, also checking the back of this one, and returns it. "You shouldn't be in the hall at this point. The passing period is long over."] * Ivy puts it back in her pocket. She eyes Charlotte, noting her expression, and then opens her locker once more. She grabs out those cupcakes, brings one out, and offers it to Gail. Aww, look at her bribing the teacher. [Gail snorts. Literally. She doesn't bother acknowledging the cupcake beyond that, instead saying, "I'll let you off with a warning this time. I suggest you both get back to the cafeteria as quickly as possible." There's a very brief pause, and then she adds, "Without running."] * Charlotte nods. "Yes ma'am." * Ivy puts the other cupcakes back once again, closes the locker, and then proceeds to eat the cupcake herself. Take that, Ms. Balen! ["And no eating in the halls, Ms. Thorne."] ( Jealous! ) * Ivy pauses after licking a bit of frosting off the top. She nods slowly and then turns away from the teacher and heads back toward the cafeteria. (She is!) (Jealous lady who can give you detention.) * Charlotte follows quickly! But she doesn't run. [Ms. Balen watches the pair of you go. You can feel her eyes on you. FEEL THEM.] * Ivy continues walking to the cafeteria! She walks in, and then takes a bite from her cupcake. Safe zone! * Charlotte can feel them and shudders. She waits until they're out of earshot and comments. "Thank God I didn't take Latin. I'd hate to have to be stuck with her for a teacher."
