HIGH SCHOOL > CLASSROOM E-10 |
w: winston!
Caroline was maybe a little excited today!
She kept purposefully paying little attention to her Biology class as she stared at the ticking clock's monotonous and slow progress. Carol is confident as hell in this class anyway! You just gotta remember that some animals do things for specific reasons that help other animals and then those animals help and then it all goes well for the environment and that is good for us humans so we can't just keep destroying it nonsensically!
...If anything, Carol can PROBABLY catch up later by herself, maybe she'll regret it... A LOT, but, you know, what is life without a little mistake!
Either way, Carol managed to get in a club! She was planning on joining one soon, her only issue was actually getting in, and this group was pretty easy to do so! It's not as STRENUOUS as ballet and it's not as... Um, it's not as unfitting as something more sporty, and it's also something new and unique!
It's pretty funny how Carol managed to get it, actually, she just thought 'Hey, it would be kinda funny if the first flyer I found was my choice!', and it just so happened to fly right into her hands as soon as she finished thinking.
It was pretty lucky!
Carol remembers being a little uncertain once she started reading about the supernatural, it's not like she's ever experienced something like it or that she believes in it... but then, she remembered that two very popular kids happened to roam around that very same classroom, which could get her a good social credit... And, you know, well, it could be a good mind exercise! Going around solving mysteries!... She does kinda need it, to be perfectly honest, Carol does feel a little behind everything sometimes...
Today should be her first PROPER meeting other than the introductory one, and maybe she wants to make amends for some of the things she has done with that group chat with certain specific people... But it's also exciting and new!
Her first meeting with these people!
Some of them she hasn't quite met, per say... Well, mostly all of them, but you know!
It's a high school club! It's not exactly the paradigm of organization!
...Hee hee, Carol learned that in English class!
OH, THE ALARM JUST RANG!
She barely just stopped herself from running full speed out and started simply walking... Composed and elegant...
But maybe a little fast too!
...Maybe Carol is just seeing this in a movie frame, and maybe she looks a little dumb though...
The classroom is here!
Ok.
Compose yourself and be bright!
Let's do this!
"GOOD AFTERNOON EVE...ryone..." She announced loudly as Carol suddenly opened the door with a big smile that could only fade a little once she saw that she was early.
Though not alone! Winston's here!
"Wow, I'm early!" An awkward laughter as she quickly scampered to find her seat, fixing her hair as she did so, her tone changing to a more girly and meek one.
It was a little embarrassing how she reacted with only one person there, but it was still nice!
It was a nice day, meeting with what could be a good partnership.

Rosie opened her phone as she walked down the hallway; she had a massive headache for one, mostly because her chem teacher. Lady wouldn't stop talking. Indulging in her Instagram feed, not paying any attention to her surroundings, specifically to the male voice calling her name in the background, "Rocks, Rocks? You going home?" The male tapped the blonde girl on the shoulder, which caused Rosie to turn around, her eyes lighting up. It was one of the members of the football team, Caleb. Caleb was a great friend to Rosie and helped her out a lot, and she intended to make him help her out this time too. Shutting her phone, she stuffed it in her backpack, looking at Caleb,
"Hey C, can you do me a favor?"
The football player leaned against the wall, briefly waving to a girl who passed by them then turning his gaze back to Rosie,
"Sure, what you want? Tequila on the rocks?" He laughed at his joke. Rosie had forgotten he had no sense of humor, ignoring his ugly joke; she tried to focus on his handsome face.
"No, I want coffee. Drive me to get some?"
"What, your car is still at the mechanic?"
"No-" Rosie held her tongue, remembering the lie she told, coughing. She clutched her throat, "No, I changed to another mechanic. The other guy was taking too long." When in reality, she doesn't even have a car. Caleb nodded his head,
"Give me a call next time. I'll handle it." Roxie rolled her eyes. This guy couldn't even handle himself, let alone her car. She tapped his arm,
"Handle my coffee, and then we'll upgrade you to car maintenance." Caleb pretended to be hurt, gaping his mouth open although you could tell he was enjoying this,
"Wow! So I'm just a secretary?!"
"No, you're a busboy."
"The fuck is that?"
"Walk, Caleb, walk."
--
Coffee in hand, she waved goodbye to Caleb, who was probably driving off anywhere other than his house. Heading down the hall to room E-10; opening the door, she almost ran into the girl in front of her stopping for a moment to check on her coffee before pushing past her, she realized it was Caroline, "Hey newbie, why are you standing in front of the door?" not bothering to look at her as she spoke.
She noticed that Winnie had already arrived, which wasn't surprising, or it is, considering this guy stays up all night and manages to get just enough sleep to beat us here. Guess some people are just born with that energy. Giving Winnie a two 2 second smile, "Hi Winnie, the pooh." She paused, "cute shirt." She threw her backpack on a random chair, taking a sip of her coffee before placing it on a table.

“Oh shit-!” Luís startled as the dismissal bell ricocheted off the walls of the library, surprise making him drop the books gathered in his arms.
“Language, Bernal.”
“..Sorry, Ms. Sanchez..”
Luís sighed, picking up the books while the learning support teacher watched him with a bemused expression.
Ms. Sanchez was a rather tall woman in her 40s, with a gravelly sort of voice and voluminous, curly auburn hair only restrained by a floral bandanna. As an overworked woman in an incredibly understaffed school, she was pushed and pulled around by office, fulfilling whatever role needed at any time. As you’d imagine, she held herself with about as much pep as a zombie.
Most days, as Ms. Sanchez wasn’t given her own office, she would instead be found in the library doubling as a helping hand for students with IEPS and handling library transactions. On these days Luís would usually hang around the library and help her with whatever she needed, feigning a fourth period spare. Ms. Sanchez was pleasant enough to be around, and the work was a good time waster while he waited to head down to E-10 for the mystery club.
Speaking of…
Luís looked on at the messy pile of books he made on one of the tables. They were in the middle of filtering through older, dustier books in the fantasy/YA section, books that had long reached the end of their lifespan. Many of them lacked hard covers, more of them were coated in so much dust, grime, yellowed oil spots, and other unknown substances that Luís was honestly not sure they should be handling them without oxygen masks. Cleaning out the library’s bookshelves was a job that couldn’t wait, especially since they’d already begun…
But if he kept at it, he was for sure going to be late to the mystery club meeting.
Normally, Luís wouldn’t sweat a 20 minute tardy, but today was only Caroline and ummm.. that other girl’s second day as members. As such, Winston and Theo would not be as lenient to Luís’ usual antics.
Luís cleared his throat, “I really thought we’d be done this section before dismissal..” he said with a bit of a nervous laugh.
Ms. Sanchez looked at him knowingly, “You’re free to leave, kiddo. I can wrap up what’s here.” She gestured to the books.
“No, it’s fine. I can do the rest on Monday,” Luís retorted, “I started the pile anyway.”
The teacher shook her head at his back talk, with a hint of a smile, “You don’t owe me a second more of your time, Bernal. It’s my work. You already spend all your spares helping me.”
“Not all of them..” Luís said weakly, but he got the message. She honestly was a kind lady…
Luís tidied up the mess of books on the table for the teacher, He then grabbed his backpack - a saggy thing that was completely empty inside.
Ms. Sanchez, seeing him by the door, waved him off with a “have a nice weekend”. Luís returned the gesture before slipping into the hallway.
Luís bid a bit of his time talking to the LST, and so the hallways were pretty devoid of students - desperate as always to get out of this bear trap of a school. Luís himself, preferred days where he could head to E-10 horribly late, or.. even before dismissal. Like, on those days he’d have to awkwardly hang around the locked classroom until Winston came along with the key, but even then, Luís never had to wait long. And it was better than the alternative; that was, heading to the club room straight after dismissal.
The hallways crowded with students always felt overstimulating, and there was no one in the school he really felt comfortable being around for too long.
No, seven weirdos talking about ghosts in a utility closet version of a classroom was enough social exposure for him, thank you very much.
Luís power walked through the halls as casually as he could, slipping by the rare student that walked past and keeping an eye out for the janitor he was pretty sure hated him. Soon enough, he reached his safe haven.
Room E-10, right up ahead. Cue the angel choir.
Releasing the grip he didn’t know he had on his backpack straps, Luís sauntered inside, smiling like he owned the place.
“Hey guys,” he said, proud of being completely on time for once. His eyes drifted between everything could see in the room. Rosie.. newbie #1.. Win who had excitement plastered on his face… a case file on the desk that probably had nothing to do with his excitement… Theo… cookies.. WAIT. COOKIES.
“Oh my god, Dorie you shouldn’t have!” Luís said, the second half of his sentence muffled by the cookie he shoved into his mouth. He didn’t even need to guess Theodore brought in the cookies... Theo was just like that.
“Mmm mmm.. I owe you one,” Luís smiled at Theo after finishing his cookie. He wasn’t serious about repaying any debt, but it was still fun to pretend he had any intention to.
Luís moved to settle down at a chair near the desk Winston was at, subtly peeking at the case file cover.
He then looked around the room, focusing in on the incredibly opposite energies of Rosie, looking like she was nursing a slight headache with Caroline looking like she had so much energy she was just barely containing.
“Hm, so everyone looks super excited today huh?” Luís hummed. He dropped his sad, saggy backpack beside him and leaned back, waiting for the rest of the rest of the members to shuffle in.

"OH! My bad..."
So that was a little bit MORE embarrassing!
Caroline does, in fact, completely shut off her environmental senses when she's too focused on something else, which does leads to dislikeable situations like these were Carol feels bad and wants to apologize, but it's just passable enough to be nothing but it's also probably going to affect their vision of her nonetheless! And it's thE POPULAR GIRL TOO, Caroline could only internally scream as she realized who it was far too late as she passed.
And all Carol could do was wallow in her small social issue... though she was still pretty excited, she was a little awkward being thrust into this so suddenly and with some little inner throttles, as insignificant as they might be to many here, it does feel of note to Caroline. So she started to try and compose herself, calmly shuffling her backpack as she was seated, making it almost as an extra pillow to her seat, trying to feel casual to the grou-
COOKIES!
Man, is Carol weak for many things.
She's back in excitement already!
The only thing stopping her from blatantly asking for one are the previous experiences, after all, Caroline doesn't want to be annoying, and she gets it, she can be a lot to take in and a little too clingy... but she wants to try her best for this group.
"O-OH, UH-" It took a while for Carol to register the person behind the so called gifts, being caught off guard once he called her name... Once Theo called her name! Yes!
...
WHAT IS THIS DAY?!
First, she embarrasses herself in front of a popular one.
Then, another one of the populars welcomes her brightly AND brings cookies?!
"...T-Thanks! I'm happy to be here!" Caroline took a while to utter it with a more timid nod, she's feeling a little out of place in this already established group of friends, she's more used to approaching more smaller groups, but there's a first for everything!
Caroline is back with her excitement, though she's still acting a bit more composed, it's easy to tell she's looking forward to it.
Another of the members came... Caroline forgot his name completely, hardly ever seen him around the school too, but she assumes she'll know his name soon enough, so she just calmly waved over to him, hiding a little bit of EVEN MORE embarrassment.
But boy, was Carol glad that he took the first cookie so she could quickly follow him and snatch her own, just barely stopping herself from gobbling it all and eating more daintly, acting composed!
"Well, um, you know! Second day, but first proper meeting!" Carol responded with a smile, nodding meekly as she took another bite of her cookie as soon as she was done speaking. Her head aiming at their newest arrival as she spoke, but quickly retreating to gaze at the entrance, bracing for the other members.
