Alanna eyed the girl up and down letting out an annoyed sigh, “Well–” She let her words trail off, “I’m not one for sharing either but for some reason I’m feeling a little generous today.” She mused with a brow raise extending a paint filled balloon towards the girl, “Just don’t use it on me or there will be a price to pay.”

Taking the balloon cautiously, wondering if there was a catch -- Autumn smiled brightly. "Thanks!" She exclaimed, holding the the balloon lightly. "Should we find a victim?"

"I’ll be here." Noelle tutted, "Why would I need to hide? ..It’s just paint and I don’t plan to get any on me."

Scrunching her face up in irritating -- deciding in that moment she really did not like Noelle -- "Fin, don't hide, I'll be right back," Autumn sighed, heading off to locate a colorful weapon.

"It’ll go faster if you get blasted," Mini joked as she smiled and nodded at the girl. "Yeah, sure, though if we got lost I am blaming you." She said as she stood up and watied for the other girl to lead, interested in which way she would chose.

Trying to remember the basic layout of the building, Autumn chose the way opposite from the cafeteria, towards the outdoor courtyards. She walked slow so Mini wouldn't have to lag behind.

She laughed at her daughter’s action of putting her hand on her hip and shook her head, “I’m not here to play games with my students, Autumn.”

"But...." Autumn trailed off, trying to find an excuse. "But please?"

Josh eyed the girl as she stood up. “Well, you’re stuck with me then because I don’t see anyone else around.” He commented. “Where do we find more paint?”

Smiling then, Autumn shrugged. She'd long since ran out of paint, and hadn't really wanted to brave the outdoors again without a partner in crime. "Outside, if you're brave," She teased.

A brow still raised Josh stared down at the girl, he could see her trying to look meek for what reason he didn’t know. “Right,” He answered halfheartedly with a nod. “Is that like your way of asking for company, or asking for more paint?”

Deciding that he was too smart for her innocence, Autumn dropped the act and laughed modestly, standing up. "Well, both, actually," Autumn admitted with a little shrug.

Mini nodded, finally smiling at the girl, she was too nice and Mini honestly wondered how she kept it up. “Yeah, maybe, I’ve only got a year left anyways before I am going to be out of school and into ‘the real world.’” Mini spoke with air quotations. “But thanks, I’m ready to see what this place has in store.”

"Lucky you, I still have 3 years," Autumn sighed -- even though she truly loved highschool. It was easier to pretend to be miserable, everyone could relate to that. "Want to go exploring together?"

Alanna cocked her head as she saw the brunette wave her off smacking at her hand, “You do not just wave me away, sweetie. But, I’m sorry I don’t do friendly conversation.” She mocked her tone grabbing a few paint balloons from her bad, “But from the look of things you look like you’re in need of some of these huh?”

Looking suspiciously at the paint balloons Autumn nodded slowly -- half expecting to be pelted with them at her nodding. "I ran out and no one will share," She admitted carefully.

"So is your pity party," She said, wiping paint from her hand onto the girl’s shirt, once she was upright and not looking so impotent as before.

Narrowing her eyes, Autumn nodded slowly. "Alright, alright..." She mused out-loud, deciding something in that moment. "Its on. Give me 5 minutes to find some paint, feel free to hide."

"I wouldn’t want to get fired, actually." The blonde sighed, but took the apron anyway. "But alright." She put the apron on and tied it around her back,

"Uh. What? How could you get fired?" Autumn asked, eyebrow raised and hand on her hip with a sassy tone, her own apron still in her hand as she looked at her mother.

She spotted the girl sitting down on the ground and gradually made her way over, carrying a particularly large paint balloon. Once Noelle reached the seated girl, she wasted no time and raised the latex object directly above the unarmed girls head, puncturing it with her nails. The paint broke free and Noelle threw the balloon remains away, stepping back, “On your feet, darling.”

To caught up on her own show of loneliness. Autumn hadn't noticed the blonde until it was too late. A shrill screech left the brunette's lips, and she jumped up, hands on her face. "That was - that was uneeded," Autumn muttered, spitting some paint from her mouth and blinking.

Alanna walked pass assuming another student a pout clearly shown on the girls face. She rolled her eyes stopping in front of her, “Oh honey you do know pouting doesn’t get you anything. But, what is it that the poor girl wants?”

"It got your attention, just like I wanted it to," Autumn answered, clearly annoyed at the condescending tone that the brunette had put on. Shaking her head and looking away past the girl, Autumn waved a hand. "I was wanting friendly conversation, so carry on."

Rose watched her daughter as she grabbed two aprons from the cabinet then turned back to her. The blonde knew the look on Autumn’s face all too well, and she sighed. “I’m not sure that’s a good idea, Autumn..” Rose wasn’t denying that she would do it.

"Oh, come on! Why not?" Autumn complained, holding out an apron towards her mother.

Josh walked by nearly missing the girl sitting there with paint on her from head to toe. He stopped in his tracks as he saw a pout, raising a brow at her he grave a single shrug. “Okay, I’ll bite. What are you pouting for?”

A bit surprised that he had both called her out on her show, yet still stopped out of curiosity, Autumn shook her head at first -- looking for words. "Uh, I'm out of paint and sitting alone," She offered up, trying to look pathetic.

"Lucky you," Mini mumbled as she ran her hand through her hair. "No, they saw their perfect princess make one mistake and shipped her off to fix herself. Once I get back they will pretend it never happened that’s why I need out of here, so I can just pretend this was all a bad dream."

"Oh, wow," Autumn mumbled softly, a little frown crossing her face. Mini's situation was completely different from hers -- and that made her a little sad. Her own parents were nothing but loving and kind to her. "Well, maybe you can actually enjoy being here. You know, like, have fun and make friends."

Autumn sat in the foyer area, half covered in paint as she watched the others -- having ran out of her own supply. As someone walked by, she put on a little pout -- hoping they'd stop and take notice of her empty hands.

"She panicked right?" Mini spoke after her, finishing the blanks. "Once she figured out she didn’t know what the hell she was doing she panicked and sent you here so they could fix you and send you back brand new again, or am I wrong?" Mini asked, knowing she was right at least for her situation.

"No, no..." Autumn laughed, shaking her head. "That part was more my dad. No, my mom was really great and understanding. I take it that it wasn't that way for you, huh?"
