Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mae was grinning the whole time, hands on her hips as she looked back to the ocean. The students murmured along the crash of the waves. The breeze was slight, blowing through Mae’s hair gently. Catching the ball easily, she tucked it under her arm and grabbed Adrian’s wrist, dragging him to the water. Mae seemed to enjoy herself. On first appearances, she looked like any other high school girl; with a large smile and playful attitude. She threw the ball into the air, falling backwards as she did. She landed on her bottom, splashing water but proceeded to give a laugh and get back up.

Mae yawned, tired from being out in the sun all day. She wiped the towel into her hair, drying it because of having taken a shower. She bent down to unzip her bag, looking for another shirt before something fell out. She bent to pick it up, blushing as she did.
“Oh, you brang that, did you? I didn’t know you to be so promiscuous. So, who’s the lucky man?” Luce asked, bending over Mae’s shoulder to see what she had in her hand.
Mae turned red and flung in the trash, disgusted about the little package. It was probably her mother. She could envision her then, helping Mae pack while she slipped it into her bag. ‘Oh, my daughter’s first overnighter! I should slip this in here just in case! Teenagers these days!’ Actually, Mae thought that was exactly what her mother thought as she put it in her luggage. She stood, pulling her shirt over her head and giving Luce a scornful look. Luce didn’t mind it and waved her away, retreating back into the bathroom. Mae brushed her hair.

“Look, I won’t be back tonight so don’t wait for me,” she whispered, Luce’s eyes sparkling as she spoke. Mae watched her as she went for the door, closing it behind her. It was after curfew so Luce was careful going down the hall to the boys’ rooms. Mae sighed and shook her head. Luce was definitely a confident one.
Speaking of which, Luce knocked very quietly on her boyfriend’s door, a nerdy kid by the name of Jeffery. He was a nerd and all but he sure was a sweet heart. She had an excited look about her face, yet anxious as to not get caught, hoping that he’d open the door quickly.

Mae was half asleep, listening halfheartedly to the soft music that was playing. She twitched, hearing the door. Was it Luce? Back already? She assumed she’d take a little longer than that. Her boyfriend’s roommate probably had to bunk with some other guys. She felt sorry for the guy, having to be kicked out of the room while his roomie gets all sexy time with his girlfriend. She shivered, not wanting to think about Luce and whatever she was doing at the moment. Maybe it was a teacher. She yawned, turning off her Ipod and tossed it on top of her bag before sauntering to the door in pajamas.

Adrian’s face. Mae almost screamed, having been caught by surprise before covering her mouth, looking at Adrian with disdain. After peeking down the hall, she pulled him inside and closed her door with a soft click.
“What the hell are you doing here, you pervert? Go back to your room.”
It didn’t occur to her that he couldn’t. She was flustered, her cheeks slightly pink with a blush as she pointed to the door. Of course, it also didn’t occur to her that maybe Luce’s boyfriend’s roommate was Adrian or that those two had already locked the door so Adrian could no longer return.

Mae was a bit frazzled. She had pulled him in; scared that the two might’ve been caught by their teachers and now he was stuck in here. For fear of getting in trouble, Mae decided he could stay. She brushed passed his shoulder, rather in a grumpy manner and sat on the bed.

“What a coincidence,” she muttered, folding her legs. Pulled her hair behind her ear and hugged her knees. “So, what do you want to do?” She asked in a muffled voice. Her first thought was to sleep. She was tired and the pillows beckoned her head to lay on them. Her eyes glanced at the head of the bed before at Adrian, looking at him sharply. She faltered then, seeing him yawn made her yawn as well.
“Ah, well, I’m tired. You can do whatever, I’ll go to sleep.” Mae crawled up into bed, pulling the covers up to her nose before turning off the lamp on her side. She was shy, giving a look of insecurity before rolling onto her right so that she faced the wall, showing her back to Adrian. She looked upon the space Luce was supposed to sleep, on the left side of the bed. It was empty, barren. Mae wasn’t used to sleeping in such a large bed.

Mae stared at him with a solemn look, secretly eying him as he read in his own, small world that was his head. She knew that he wouldn't catch her watching him being that he was so engrossed. Mae spied at his features.
With skin so creamy, it'd make an angel jealous. He had such blue eyes, so much more colorful than Mae's own dark eyes. His hair fell in golden locks, so soft they looked. He looked beautiful, unlike how she thought of herself to be. She buried her face into the pillow, embarrassed for staring so long. The familiar meowing of her phone had her lift her head. She jumped off the bed to her bag, rifling through it to get to her cell phone. She flipped it open and held it to her ear, dissapearing into the bathroom and shutting it behind her.

Several minutes passed by until Mae came up, a mixed look of her usual scornful look and of embarrassment. The only person who would be able to make her look that way would be her mother. How could she ask such questions like they were so carefree? Was she a woman yet? Bah! Mae shook her head. Her mother was always like that, also one to try to liven up the atmosphere. Mae placed her phone on the table and went back to bed, glancing at Adrian before falling asleep. Not once did she stir in her slumber, never showing Adrian her back as she slept.

Luce pinched Adrian's cheeks, grinning wildly as she whistled rather loudly. Jeremy stood near the door. "What? You two didn't do anything the whole night? And we let you two have plenty hours to do some fun stuff too~" Luce put a hand on her hip, her smile overly sunny than that morning.

Mae gave a muffled groan, rolling over. She gave a big breath before sitting up, fixing her bed hair and looking at Luce, then her boyfriend. Then to Adrian who must've fallen asleep on the couch. She got up and hurried to the bathroom.

Luce's voice chimed. "Come on and hurry up. We're having breakfast and then and quick hike before going back to the buses this afternoon. If they find out Adrian's been sleeping in here, all four of us would get in trouble."

Mae came out and grabbed her bag, an irritated look upon her face before retreating to the bathroom, gettting ready. She was NOT a morning person.
