Unwanted Encounter [Open RP]

[emotionless-empath-blog]

Aya literally snarled at the girl beneath her. Her lips curled back like some sort of threatened wild animal, and for a moment she almost looked inhuman. However, she could not keep up her intimidating expression for long, and her mean look fell.

Her bottom lip quivered slightly and she looked away from the other student in an attempt to hide her quickly reddening face. She was pissed, sure, but she was much more flustered than anything. It wasn’t like her to be this clumsy, no matter how much of a rush she was in. She’d rather be skewered by a thousand spears then be in this situation right now.

'So much for avoiding social interaction.' She thought bitterly to herself. 

Aya only grunted at the girl when she asked her to get off. Begrudgingly, the blonde rose to her feet (definitely not because she was told to, of course). Aya offered no assistance to the other girl, instead crossing her arms and glaring down at her with a mix of a pout and a scowl on her face. She got a chance to look the girl over, and her frown deepened slightly. She looked ditsy, to say the least, but she was probably a nice girl. Besides, she had apologized even though Aya was the one totally at fault for the whole accident, so Aya relied on her quick assessment of the girl and decided to do the unthinkable.

She held out a helping hand the the brunette.

Aya couldn’t even bring herself to look at the girl when she did so, and she felt her cheeks heat up again. Whatever, this would be her one good deed of the week (more like  month) and after she helped up the girl she’d be on her merry way and hopefully never see her again. That was the plan at least.

Upon the snarling, Aoi moved her head as far away from the girl as possible, a mixture of confusion and terror on her face. She went from human to animal in two seconds, the swimmer thought, That's pretty scary. But cool nonetheless. She waited for her next move, and was relieved when the girl dropped her gaze.

Aoi watched the girl's internal struggle with a frown. She could tell that she really wanted to beat her up, but Aoi hoped that no fight would break out. All she had wanted to do was go back to her dorm in peace, no trouble. This was almost as bad as the time she had dropped all her donuts on the cafeteria floor!

A relieved smile broke out across Aoi's face when she felt the weight lifted from her stomach. She was both surprised and happy that she had just gotten up, no brawl. The swimmer wasn't in the mood to fight, anyway.

Aoi was even more surprised when the girl who previously snarled actually held her hand for her to take. The relieved smile turned to a friendly one as she grabbed the other's hand. When she was on her feet, Aoi beamed at her. "Thanks!" She exclaimed, "Sorry about that."

Rocking on her heels, Aoi thought for a moment. Should she just be on her way? Of course not! She argued in her head. That girl looked like she needed a friend. Well, She thought, gazing at her, I can be that friend.

"So," She started, "Where were you heading?"

He set his book down again, pointing to them each in turn as he said their names. “Cham-P, Sun-D, Mega-G, and Jun-P…It’s not too hard to train them, it just takes a while and can get frustrating at points…It isn’t the most challenging task I’ve taken on, and I’ve done it quite a few times. I have a stubborn dog back at home, but I think he’s past the peak age…-“ 

[bubblyswimmeraoi]

He stopped himself, distracted he was getting distracted. Plus this girl probably didn’t want to hear him ramble. He loved talking about his animals and his breeding projects but most people didn’t like hearing about it, and he assumed this girl was no different. 

"…Apologies, I seemed to have gotten carried away…" 

Aoi beamed when the boy put down his book, again seeing his furry hamsters. Her gaze turned to a curious one as he listed off their names. They were pretty unique names for hamsters. Aoi wondered what the names meant, but decided to shrug the thought away and continue listening. 

"That sounds pretty cool!" Aoi exclaimed when the boy paused. "I have a dog back home, and I wasn't good at training him at all!" She smiled sheepishly. She had looked up training methods online and had succeeded at none of them. In the end, she had called up a professional trainer.

The swimmer waved away the boys words. "No, no, you're totally fine". Aoi actually thought it was neat. "Is there a specific reason you trained them? Is it your job or..?" She wondered what drove him to train pets such as hamsters.

Unwanted Encounter [Open RP]

After class was usually a time of socializing for most students, but all Aya wanted was to make it back to her dorm room without any social interaction. These other students weren’t worth her time, as “talented” as they might be. Really, what kind of talents were luck, or gamer, or hall monitor anyway? How were those specialties supposed to help you in the real world? It all seemed so silly to her, really. Maybe it was this kind of attitude that made people so wary of trying to befriend her. Maybe that was why she was so lonely.

Aya briskly strode through the halls of Hope’s Peak, heels clicking on the hard floor and hips swaying with confidence. A vexed scowl on her otherwise pretty face warded off any who would dare approach the girl otherwise. School was so boring, all she wanted was to relax in her dorm room alone. She’d been lucky enough not to have been assigned a roommate, and she intended to enjoy that luxury while it lasted.

As fate would have it, Aya would not be able to make it to her room without socialization. As she sharply turned a corner, another student had been walking in the opposite direction, and the two collided. Aya, because of her speed, hit the other with such force that it knocked over the student, and brought Aya crashing down after them. To her discontent, she landed squarely on top of the other, straddling them.

"Hey, are you stupid?!" she accused in anger, her tone sharp and bitter. "Don’t you watch where you’re going?!"

[bubblyswimmeraoi]

Aoi let out a sound of pure glee at the sound of the bell. Finally, the end of the day! It had been an especially long day for her; two pop quizzes in one day! She swore the teachers were plotting against her. She had done fairly well on the first quiz, but as for the second... she'd rather not talk about it. Aoi hoped that the upcoming essay would help balance out her grade.

Aoi stood up from her seat, smiling brightly. It was better not to dwell in the past anyway. Gathering her textbooks in her arms, the swimmer walked cheerfully out the door and into the already crowded hallway. She pouted; with this crowd, she'd never get to her dorm! The crowd was mostly annoying people who stopped in the middle of the hallway to talk to their friends. Unbelievable! With a bit of crouching, light pushing, and determination, Aoi managed to break free of the crowd and continue walking in the direction of her dorm without trouble.

Or maybe with trouble after all.

As soon as she rounded the corner, Aoi felt the impact of another student. The student was going so fast that she was knocked off her feet and onto her back. "Hey!" She yelped, and let out an oof as the other student toppled onto her.

"Me?!" Aoi demanded, looking up at the girl in outrage. "You're the one who was going too fast! You're lucky the hall monitor didn't catch you." She sighed, pouting. "Although I should've been watching where I was going, too, I guess." She muttered out and apology, and gestured to the girl.

"Anyways, could you please get off of me?"

He jumped a bit at her sudden appearance, he tried to hide the fact she had startled him the best he could. He shoved his scarf into his face more, there really was no reason behind this though.

"I appreciate your concern, but they’re trained…" He mumbled, though, the comment still made him a little bit paranoid and he instinctively picked them up and set them on his shoulders, letting them have free roam of his clothes.

He propped his textbook up again, assuming that she would’ve left on that note.  

[bubblyswimmeraoi]

Aoi giggled at the boy's surprised expression. She could have been a little more subtle with her sudden appearance, but it was too late now! "Sorry for startling you", She apologized, smiling up at him. She was expecting to see a face looking back down on her, and was confused to only see a scarf. How can he breath like that? She wondered.

The swimmer shook the thoughts from her head as the boy scooped up the pets. Her eyes lit up in awe. "Ooh, they're trained?" She asked, smiling excitedly. "I've never heard of someone training hamsters- they are hamsters, right?- before!"  She watched as the furry animals scurried up and down the boy's shoulders. She soon pouted when a textbook was propped up, blocking her view of the hamsters. She stood up taller in the water. "What are their names?"

He snorted when she referred to his project as a “thing”. “Tha’s a clock, s’ not tha’ hard t’ figure out.” Well, of course to someone who knew nothing about clockwork, it would look like nonsense. It took years of training to be able to read them as easily as he could. 

But, whatever. “Mmhm, yeah, new t’ thi’ school at least. I’ve lived ‘ere fer abou’…two yea’s now? Mmhm, sounds righ…” He nodded, folding his arms. “Wha’s it t’ y’?”

[bubblyswimmeraoi]

Aoi pouted at the boy's words. "I'm a swimmer, not an engineer!" She exclaimed. Aoi was better at sports than she was at things like that. She never really viewed it as a bad thing, though. Both took hard work and effort to achieve! She smiled, glad that she had helped him out. 

Aoi smiled victoriously. I knew it! She thought to herself. "You have?" She asked, "That's cool! If you don't think it's creepy to ask, where did you live before you moved here? I thought I heard a bit of an accent, but I didn't want to ask right away."

"Oh, nothing, I just like getting to know people! Since you're new to the school, I figured you wouldn't know a lot of people." Beaming, Aoi extended her hand for the boy to shake. "I'm Aoi Asahina! Nice t'meet you!" She giggled. "Well, at least now you know me!"

Math Attack (open)

Math. Ugh. Why did Aoi even need math anyway? She was going to be a swimmer, not some mathematician! There was no way she was ever going to need to know the slope of something in her career, right? That was why Aoi was slouching in her 2nd period math class.It’s too early for this! She thought, tapping her pencil against her desk and leaning her head on her free hand. Boring, boring, boring.

Aoi put down her pencil to bring her hand her mouth, yawning as quietly as she could. She could hear the droning voice of her math teacher, yet she knew that she couldn’t pay attention even if she tried. He was just too boring! Everything was just too boring! Why couldn’t they have a swim class? She would get full marks in that for sure. 

Maybe I’ll work on my homework while I wait for the class to end. She glanced down at the paper, as if magically she’d know how to do it without paying attention. She picked up her pencil once more, and concentrated on the first problem. What the heck?! How did they expect her to know this? Maybe she could ask someone. Now, who looks smart? Her eyes locked on the person who sat in front of her. Perfect! They were always raising their hand and answering questions, they must be smart! “Psst!” She tapped on their shoulder. “Psssssst!”

Homework, of course everyone had to deal with it but it really bugged him when he forced himself to do it. He wanted to do anything else but homework, tend to his Dark Gods, sleep, read, whatever. But he didn’t want to get kicked out of the school either, so he had to at least try and keep his grades up.

He got distracted too much in his room, a lot of distractions…for the aforementioned reasons. Didn’t this place have a pool…? For some reason sitting by water usually calmed him down. He could focus better with it. He never really knew why, maybe the humidity or something…?

He didn’t question it though, anything right now would be good. So with that, he grabbed his bag, stuffing the book in it and scooping his Dark Gods of Destruction up into his scarf.

He made his way up to the pool, checking to make sure the room was at least slightly empty. There was a girl making laps, and a couple of other people sitting on the benches talking, it looked like they were getting ready to leave. That was about it. 

So overall, no one there to bother him. Good. He made his way over to the bleachers at the edge, sitting down with his legs folded in front of them. He let his hamsters out of his scarf, setting them by his side and pulled his book out of his bag, opening it in his lap. Good, he could focus now…

[bubblyswimmeraoi]

It was a calm Saturday at Hope's Peak, and Aoi was determined to take advantage of it. That meant going to the pool. She had already been to the pool countless times already, but hey, you can never swim enough! She went to the pool when she was upset, restless, excited, when she was needing something to do, she went whenever she could.

Aoi cast a dark look at the pile of homework on her desk. Man, couldn't her teachers give her a break? It was the weekend! I'll just do it tomorrow, Aoi thought, hoisting a bag over her shoulder. In the bag was her swimsuit, goggles, a first aid kit, and of course, a box of donuts for when she was done swimming. Swimming works up an appetite!

The girl closed her dorm door, locked it, and started walking in the pool's direction. As she walked, she hummed a perky tune, a song from that popular idol's CD. Aoi smiled brightly at a few girls before heading into the locker room to change. After a minute, Aoi hurried out of there, dressed in her favorite swimsuit. She slowed down by the pool's edge; there was a strict no running rule.

Then, with a loud 'Yippee', she jumped into the lap lane, and continued to swim back and forth to calm her down. Once satisfied, her head popped out of the water and surveyed her surroundings. Her eyes caught a moving figure. For some reason, he was fully dressed! And what an outfit, at that. Wait, what was he putting down? Animals?!

Aoi, with a determined look on her face, dove back under the water, kicking furiously. Her head popped up suddenly right by the mysterious boy, who was sitting by the bleachers near the pool. "Hey!" She exclaimed, admiring the hamsters he had in front of him. "They're super cute, trust me, but I don't think they should be playing this close to the pool's edge!" She looked up at the man. "They could fall in, ya know!"

Swimming Buddies (badluck-komaeda)

[badluck-komaeda]

Unlike Aoi, Komaeda took his time getting to the pool. It wasn’t that he wasn’t excited, he was, it was just he was no where near as excited as the bubbly swimmer was. Still, not wanting to leave her waiting, he made a little more effort to walk faster in the hallways, but that only managed to wind him slightly and ultimately slow him down.

He finally made it to the changing room, and after spending too much time trying to find a swimsuit his size (they were all abnormally large) and fretting about his embarrassingly skinny, sickly looking body (he opted to wear a t-shirt to hide it), he entered the pool room.

"Asahina-san, sorry I’m a little late!" He called out with a small wave and a smile on his face. She wasn’t in the water yet, so he assumed she’d waited for him. "Ah, let’s get swimming then." The boy peered at the pool, which looked nice and refreshing but also a little daunting. He was a weak swimmer, maybe he should get a floatie for protection…

[bubblyswimmeraoi]

Aoi swished her feet in the water, smiling happily. This is where I belong, the swimmer thought, reaching down to feel the pool. She could look at the water for hours! It was really mesmerizing, the crystal blue water, sparkling and shining under the lights. 

It was so mesmerizing that she hadn't even heard the boy come in.

Aoi looked up at him, startled. "Oh, it's alright!" She smiled reassuringly. "I haven't been waiting long at all." She laughed silently in her mind, looking at the boy. The swimsuit looked very big on him; the school must not have restocked the sizes yet! She stood up, kicking water off of her feet. 

Aoi noticed that Komaeda was looking very anxious. Was he not having fun? "Hey, Komaeda-san, you really don't swim if you don't want to. I enjoy your company as it is, you can just relax!" The swimmer gestured to the storage room in the back. "Also, the school has a ton of floaties for beginners!" Laughing, the girl pointed to herself. "And keep in mind that you've got a super high-school level swimmer with you at all times! I'm also a certified lifeguard!"

Touko’s pen, that had been scrawling intently as she bent down over the lined paper she was writing on, came to a stop as her eyes widened, her entire body shaking slightly as she remained in the same position, her head down as she stared at the ink on the page. Had she really just heard that? Was the girl really sitting next to her? Was she so intent in playing whatever stupid ridiculous trick she had in mind to torment her? 

Looking up from her writing, she scowled. No matter what, she wasn’t going to fall for this. Her fingers clutching her pen tightly, almost defensively, she replied with an angry mutter. “W-why should I tell you? You’d probably just laugh at me… laugh at the stupid ugly girl, right? That w-what you came here to d-do anyway, isn’t it?”

[bubblyswimmeraoi]

Aoi awaited a response, smiling in anticipation. Her smile faded, however, when the girl started... vibrating? Had she pulled a nerve? Had she said something she shouldn't of? All Aoi knew was the girl seemed extremely surprised. The confused swimmer scooted her chair back a few inches, a nervous expression on her face. 

She was She was slightly relieved when the girl stopped shaking, but the scowl made her even more confused than before. "Huh?" Aoi asked, surprised. "When did I say that?" She crossed her arms, a concerned look on her face. "I don't even know you, how could I think that you're stupid?" Aoi scanned the girl's face for clues. She wasn't even ugly! She had nice long hair, and her eyes were a nice lavender color.
