<strong>Jiselle Dubois</strong><br/><strong>Homeroom</strong><br/><strong>Vanessa, Open Tag</strong><br/><br/><em>Well...</em>Jiselle thought to herself as her eyes locked with the wood of her desk, trying not to meet the accusatory glances the rest of the class was giving her, she sighed.<em>That... could have gone a lot worse... Granted, it could have gone better as well but-</em>Her train of thought was derailed by a Swellow landing on her desk and tapping her arm with it's beak a few times. "Oh!" She smiled, jumping a little, trying not to scare it. "Hello there... you must be... Kayla, right?" She giggled. "I'm clumsy, but I'm good with names. You belong to Jade, right?" She motioned to pet the Swellow, but stopped. "Oooh... I don't know if she'll like that or not..." She hesitated for a moment before caving. "Oh... just one pat on the head shouldn't hurt." She patted the Swellow gently on the head once before smiling. "Birds are really cute..."<br/><br/>She jumped considerably higher when Vanessa came around to check on her. Her impression of the teacher was one of a scary troll holding a massive tree-stump as a weapon, so when her voice came soft at first, she sighed. "O-Oh! Ms. Schroeder! Ah... uhm... that is...

She tried to wave away her concern. "Please don't worry about me."<br/><br/>----<br/><strong>Alicia Heartwind</strong><br/><strong>Library</strong><br/><strong>Bass, Treble, Open</strong><br/><br/>Alicia gave another heavy sigh. After finishing setting up the library with the help of Bass and Treble, she found herself increasingly bored.<em>God dammit, Vanessa...</em>She whined to herself.<em>Why can't you just accept what you are? What we are? What we have?</em>She gave another sigh as she shook her head, her loins rumbling for another romp in the sheets with that beautiful body of hers... DAMMIT! Why does all her thoughts go back to that Dragon Tamer? What is Alicia to her? Just something to use and then throw away?<br/><br/>"I have feelings too, dammit!" She shouted, no one was in the library, thankfully, to hear her outburst.<em>Would it kill you to say it, Vanessa? Would it kill you for those three, innocent words to leave your mouth? What I wouldn't give to hear 'I love you' leave those pretty lips...</em>Knowing Vanessa, with the start of a new school year, a student would be by to deliver her usual 'I'm the principle, and I say don't go telling anyone you and I are together blah blah bliggity blah' letters she hated reading. Every time she read one, she died a little more inside. Putting her head on the table, she thought back to the last time they were together...
