<div class="floatleft">(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/Erion2451/Tiffany_Toth.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Krystle Bobbi Drake<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Kitchen<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Jared, Lily, Doc, Alex, Jacque<br/><hr/><br/>Chomping down on the rope of string cheese, Krystle gave her two friends a delighted smile.  It was nice to see Lily actually interacting with someone, and Jared was likely the perfect person to test the waters with.<br/><br/>Her blue eyes rolled upward when she heard Professor Moon warn them about burning and she couldn't help but quip,<strong>"no need to worry, you've got your resident fire extinguisher on the job."</strong>The guy needed to get laid, or possibly just drunk.  Not that she was volunteering to help with either of those activities.  Though, on second thought, seeing the stuffy professor plastered might be quite amusing.<br/><br/>She continued the short walk back to her peers before sliding in next to Lily and examining the telepath's handiwork.<strong>"Crab rangoon, huh?  Sounds delish.  Find the recipe online?"</strong><br/><br/>Krystle gave Lily silent permission to invade her surface thoughts with a curious look from the corner of her eye.  Lily was likely accustomed to the jumble of chaos that was Krystle's mind.  It wasn't so much disorganized as it was unfocused.  Images of turning the nice, warm day outside into a winter wonderland played alongside memories of the latest pool party with a heavy heaping of well muscled classmates in their swimsuits.  Every now and then, usually coinciding with a fresh bite, was the taste, smell, and texture of stringed mozzarella cheese.  Aside from that, the stray thought of a missed question on her earlier test floated into her mind and was quickly swept out by whatever shiny object Krystle saw next.<br/><br/>A tiny smile touched her lips as Lily suggested she ask Jared out and she replied through the telepathic link Lily had opened,<strong><em>Meg?  Meg, who?  Oh, Ms. Adagio?</em></strong>Even in her mind the sound of the instructor's name was exaggerated and sarcastic.<strong><em>She's around here somewhere, I guess.  I don't have her for any classes, so you would think she'd stop the whole, I'm a teacher and you're a student thing, but no...</em></strong>She sighed inwardly, which sounded like a full sigh in her head.<strong><em>As far as Sexy,</em></strong>[/i] that's what Cecyaneh meant, and since Krystle was fluent in Russian yet thought in English, sexy was what Lily heard.<strong><em>He can ask if he wants to.  He's a big boy.  Besides, he might be into you.  You never know.</em></strong>Krystle fought to keep the sudden and unexpected tinge of jealousy at Lily taking Jared from her down, and used the training they'd received to guard their thoughts from telepaths to the best of her ability which promptly disconnected the psychic link.  The thought was fleeting, and followed by remorse, which had likely seeped through the link just before it had been prematurely closed.<br/><br/>Sincere blue eyes gave the other girl an apologetic look as her pink, glossed lips mouthed "sorry".  She considered Lily a friend, even a sister from another mister, but her feelings for Jared were confusing.<br/><br/>She waited until the two instructors were out of ear shot before she leaned forward, looked past Lily, and stuck her tongue out at Jared.<strong>"You're such a kiss up, Cecyaneh."</strong><br/><br/>Just then she heard the whistle and spun around to hear the resident Cajun's compliment.<strong>"Ye best close that jaw less you're aiming to catch some flies."</strong>It was something Krystle remembered Jacque's mother say to his father during one of their visits.  It had made an unforgettable impression upon the young girl and it seemed quite appropriate to use at the moment.  The faux southern accent was quickly abandoned as she waggled her well manicured eyebrows at the Cajun leaning against the entrance.<strong>"Thanks, Jacque.  Glad you approve.  So, what's the ragin Cajun been up to today?  You here to add a bit of spice to Lily's rangoon?  Have to warn you, these two are likely to put up quite the fight before you can get your mitts on Lily's cooking,"</strong>she teased all three.
