High School-The run to popularity. discussion

The library, often filled with the quiet and nerds. Sometimes you'll see a few gossip and popular kids.

Iris walked into the he Library surveying her surroundings, she walked past the librarian and headed towards the shelves. She was looking for a book about succulents because her Haworthia cymbiformis at home was dying

Chelsea was in the library in the research section, looking for a textbook that she would need for her homework for her Ela project. She was just minding her own business, humming a song and searching the shelves for anything interesting. She heard somebody enter the library but she didn't bother to go look who it was. She was tired and really kind of just wanted to get this done and finish school so she could go home.

As she browsed the shelves, Iris found a thick book which was exactly what she was looking for. “Perfect” she said to herself and she walked to the librarians desk

Chelsea saw that the person who had come in was on the other side of the aisle she was in, she could kind of see her through the shelf. She heard her say 'perfect,' and was curious who it was. Whoever it was, she could tell, was probably popular, since they were pretty nice-looking, from what she could see. She watched the girl walk down the aisle of books to the librarian. Chelsea grabbed one of the research books she had been eyeing and slowly followed the girl to the desk, hoping to see who it was. She adjusted her glasses and turned the book in her hands so she could see it better. She examined the back cover as she walked.

As Iris turned around she ran into another girl in the library. “Oh my gosh, I’m sorry” she said trying to collect herself. The girl has big round glasses and long dark hair, I can’t believe I didn’t see her Iris thought to herself

Chelsea gasped when someone ran into her. She was knocked back and she had dropped her book, but she remained standing. Then she realized it was the girl she saw through the shelf before. "It's okay," Chelsea replied quietly, wondering why the girl was even bothering to apologize, "I wasn't looking where I was going anyway," she mumbled, adjusting her glasses again. She turned to pick up the book and start to walk over to the librarian desk again.

She watched as the girl walked towards the desk, “hey I didn’t get your name” she called following her. She seemed kind of shy, and Iris wanted to know what book she was getting

Chelsea turned around and looked back at the other girl, surprised that she cared to ask. "Oh, uh, my name's Chelsea," she said, "What's yours?" She asked, tucking a stray hair behind her ear and getting a closer look at her. She definitely seemed familiar, but Chelsea was never good at remembering names.

“I’m Iris, nice to meet you!” She said with a smile. “What books are you reading?” She asked curiously, Iris didn’t really know much about this girl but she seemed interesting enough

Chelsea looked to the ground, then glanced at the book she was holding, "This is just for a research project.." She said to Iris. Normally Chelsea preferred to read bigger fiction books but this what she needed to study with.

“Oh, I was just in here getting a book about plants because mine died.” Iris explained “Hey do you want to come to the garden with me?” She asked, it would be more fun to go with someone else than to be by herself

"Really?" Chelsea asked. She supposed she said this both to learning that Iris' plant had died and to her offer of going to the garden. People in school normally just ignored Chelsea, and she ignored them. So she had no idea why Iris was suddenly being nice to her.

“Yeah sure, come with me!” With a wave,Iris led her new friend out of the library and to the garden

"Okay," Chelsea replied quietly, following Iris, wondering why she would possibly want a nerd with her in the garden.
((do we go to a new topic now?))

Ansley walked into the library and found an interesting book before sitting down to read

Jake headed in, annoyed. A few girls trailing behind him as he headed in. His library book was overdue, but he knew he hadn't kept it for more than 2 days. He sighed, checking it into the library.
He was met with the harsh stares of the librarian as she took the book and checked it in. "It's late. Don't let this happen again." She said, coldly.

Ansley got up to grab another book that caught her attention, and walked past the counter.

He rolled his eyes annoyed, heading back when he bumped passed a few girls, Ansley included. The other girls didn't seem to mind, but Ansley seemed annoyed. ((Srry, didn't know if you can do that.))

((Sure.))
He just looked at her, annoyed back, as he muttered an apology.

Ansley walked off not hearing the boy before grabbing he book and sitting back down

((ah.))
He seemed confused, was this girl really ignoring him? He tapped her shoulder again.

Ansley looked up at him waiting for him to say something ready to try and read his lips

"Are you dumb?" He asked, annoyed.

Ansley looked at him before signing to him ‘no but what do you want?’ She signed almost annoyedly

He was confused by the hand signals, but he knew since one of his childhood friends used to be deaf. 'Nothing much, just asking.' He signed back, a few people impressed he was able to.

Ansley stared back surprised he knew sign language but smiled back at him none the less. ‘I’m Ansley, what about you?’ She signed back

He smirked at her smile, chuckling a bit. 'Name's Jake. You have a pretty name you know.' He signed back. All the people around him seemed a bit more impressed. Suddenly a loud thud made people look away as he made a run to the corner of the library, grabbing Ansley by the hand he ran to the corner, where not that many people could see as he looked around. 'Sorry, I just needed to find a way out of the crowd. My reputations going to explode if my ex finds out.' He signed back.

'Thanks for the compliment.' she signed back blushing 'And whos your ex?' she asked crouching beside him

He jolted when she sighed 'ex.' As he looked back to see the sign was clear, he stood up. 'No one important.' He said, seeing her face blush. 'So, did you need something or can I go?' He signed.
((srry gtg. I'll be back in 10 minutes.))

‘Your fine to go I guess, and do you know where the office is? I’m new here’ She signed back

((sorry, it took longer than 10 minutes.))

He nodded.

((I don't mind.))
"I'll lead you to it." He spoke.

Ansley read his lips and nodded((also I created her brother james btw)) ((is there an office if so who starts?))

((yeah I'll post it. and Yeah, I saw it.))
He started walking.

((Alright thanks ))

Ansley followed behind leaving the books where she was originally

Jake pulled Ansley to the library. Most of the crowd had passed but a few still headed in and out. He pulled her over to the corner once again.

'what was that about?' she signed

'Nothing. Keep quiet and a low profile for me will you?' He signed.

'ya' she signed back to him looking at him

'What now?' she signed to him looking around

'Nothing. Just keep quiet for awhile.' He signed back. 'i'll be back in 3 minutes, don't move.' He said, pointing his fingers to his lips to be quiet.

'Alright' Ansley signed back hesitantly

He headed in, closer to the library's center, within 3 minutes he was back. 'Alright, everything's taken care of, let's go.' He signed, making sure no one was around once again.

Ansley nodded and got up wondering what had happened but didn't question it

He helped her up.

((oh alright))

Ansley smiled as he did following him to the next destination

He sat at one of the tables in the library, pulling out his phone. "Sit here." He said.

Ansley sat beside him and looked at a book that was on the table

He texted his friends, wondering where everyone had gone.
