Curiosity Kills || Aurelia & Lillian

Aurelia didn’t often wait around without a goal. That wasn’t part of her deal. She got in, she got out, and she found something to keep her attention for the period of time between classes and sleeping. Even when she had classes, she sometimes found other things to do. Not in this case, though. She actually went above and beyond for cooking club. She wanted to learn how to cook, so she would be here, and she even stayed a few minutes after class to see how everyone else’s product turned out.

It was when she noticed a girl remaining even after those few minutes that she became curious. She didn’t pay much attention to the people in the club-- the only exception being the professor who instructed them (and even then, she sometimes couldn’t keep her attention)-- which meant she couldn’t remember the girl’s name. Another few minutes passed, and then again, the clock ticked. Eventually, she was certain at least fifteen minutes had passed, and she walked over to the near stranger, her curiosity piqued.

“What are you making?” She peered over the girl’s shoulder, noting the height difference and almost savoring it. Giving a relatively gentle tug on the girl’s pulled back hair, she added, “Club activities ended fifteen minutes ago.”

Maybe she should have started with that, though. Meh. It didn’t really matter.

Bold Encounters || Aurelia & Angela

[experimental-temperamental-blog]

“…” Aurelia wasn’t sure what response she wanted, but she was a bit disappointed by the one she got. Then again, she would have been genuinely surprised had the brunette oozed some sort of flirtatious comeback. Well, if there wasn’t that immediate sexual tension that the dramas tend to create with a shout from the director, then what was there? She had to get something out of this newly formed acquaintance, or else it wouldn’t be worth it to befriend her. “Jeez, even though I’m usually pretty easy to find. That’s surprising.”

Aurelia’s cat-like stare followed Angela carefully, still trying to discern her. Was this going to be a problem? Aurelia didn’t particularly enjoy dealing with difficult people. Well, what was the worst thing that could happen? She might end up regretting everything and wasting her time. They might get into a fist-fight or something. Alternatively, they might become close friends. Still didn’t seem like it was worth the effort, but it wasn’t like Aurelia had anything better to do, and the girl had caught her interest either way. “Although I can’t say I’m in class that often, so even if we did have one together, I might have never noticed you– Sorry, I guess, if it matters.”

[sneakers-and-sarcasm-deactivate]

“There’s a first for everything.” Angela offers, almost casually. Except she’s grinning. The good thing about her is that she won’t jump to a fight right away, unless there’s a very obvious reason to. 

Someone sitting in her seat, for example.

At the comment of her being unnoticeable, Angela actually bursts out into laughter. “Ya don’t say?” She manages between laughs. “Well shit, I knew I was plain looking but that just takes the cake.” Self deprecating humor at it’s best. “Nah man, it doesn’t matter. You skip class a lot though? Brilliant. Rebel. I’m into it.”

[experimental-temperamental-blog]

“You don’t get to hit the gene pool lottery unless you dye your hair pink, you know.”  Thank god she had given away her true nature. That meant Aurelia could continue the conversation in peace. It had been a toss up, but the pleasantries had broken through the moment of awkwardness.

“I’ve caught your attention, then?” Aurelia stepped closer, leaning an elbow on the girl’s shoulder in a casual manner. She was interested after the rebel realization, which meant she had some reason to be... and Aurelia wanted to know. “Well, I know you’re a bombshell, even if you’ve got the plain Jane, brown hair, brown eyes combo, but you’ll have to do better than that. You’ll need to thoroughly entertain me-- and if you aren’t about to start a fight, maybe you’ve got a bit of fun information or something.”

“Or maybe you’re just an interesting person.” She doubted that. It took a lot to keep Aurelia’s interest, after all.

(Un)expected Encounters || Aurelia & Claire

[experimental-temperamental-blog]

“Hmm? I like being around you. You make funny faces when you’re angry.” Aurelia’s lips curled into something of a smirk, although it had a strange sense to it, as though it matched a bit too well with her sharp gaze. “I waste my time in many different ways. This just happens to be one of them.”

“Sheesh, leave you alone? I couldn’t spend enough time with you before, and now all you want is for me to go away? Claire-bear, you’re too flippant. If you keep that up, you’ll only ever end up with girlfriends like me.” Aurelia wasn’t about to say she was a good girlfriend, because she knew she wasn’t. She knew she didn’t treat the label with any extra tenderness. Wasn’t it just tacking sex on to a friendship? The romantic bullshit never made that much sense to her– at the very least, she tried at the beginning, but after enough time, it becomes exhausting. Despite having romantic plans for the future, she could never grasp the feeling when it came to people. She was starting to think a right person didn’t exist… but that was fine. If that did end up being the case, she could always get a dog or something. With a small sigh, she added, “If you have something that’s not nice to say, I’d rather you say it. It’s no good to bottle things up.”

[wolfskinpackleader]

With a sigh, Claire sat down on top of her desk, rather than in the seat, and gave Aurelia a pointed look. “I do not make funny faces when I’m angry. I make pissed off faces because that’s what you make me.” God, she sounded like a kid. Arguing with Aurelia always made her sound that way, because they both just acted like children around one another. 

“That was different! I considered you my girlfriend then. Now you’re nothing but a bother to me! Honestly, get your head out of your ass and pay attention to how other people feel. Maybe then you won’t fuck up like you did with me.” With a huff, Claire crossed her arms over he chest. Perhaps that was a bit harsh, but Claire didn’t relent. “If you really want to hear what I have to say, then keep on being annoying. Go ahead. See what I’ve got to say.”

[experimental-temperamental-blog]

“Is that what that is? It’s still funny, though.” Aurelia stared absently at the girl in front of her, listening to the small rant about how fucked up she had been, and still was. Well, she wasn’t very good at keeping interests. That wasn’t her fault. It was the way the goddess had made her. She considered saying all of this to the blonde in front of her, but wondered for a moment if she might actually get punched for that. “Sheesh, don’t worry. I recall our breakup quite clearly. And I’m paying attention to your feelings right now, aren’t I?”

“After all, I can clearly see those wrinkles forming on your face and the way you don’t mind when your hair falls a little bit differently because you’re too caught up in the moment to care about trivialities.” Aurelia let her lips curl into a small, almost possessive smile, before falling to a neutral gaze. There. Had that been enough? It had better have been worth it. She hadn’t yet decided if the conversation would be a win for her entertainment scale if Claire didn’t admit her feelings of hatred. Even worse, if they were typical petty thoughts that the average person had about their ex. She had much higher expectations from Claire. “Well? What have you got to say?”

Break Time || Aurelia & Sebastian

[experimental-temperamental-blog]

“Huh? I try to keep to the English building, but the teachers won’t stop flocking there. It’s like they’re stressed or something. Can’t imagine why that could be.” Aurelia smirked and laughed, perching herself on the window sill. As she flicked the ashes out the window, she watched Sebastian curiously. “The music building is pretty much abandoned, so it’s a nice spot… although I try not to smoke when there are instruments out.”

Luckily for her, all of the instruments were locked away around this time. There were some instruments, such as the few wooden ones, that would easily pick up the smell of smoke, and she wouldn’t wish that upon any musician. Her mind and eyes focused on Sebastian again, not regretting it for a moment considered he was rather good looking. He had this sort of uncaring, bad boy look to him. They never talked that much in their dorm (Aurelia was never there that much, anyway), but she was certain from the fact that he didn’t have a lighter out that he wasn’t here to smoke. “What are you doing here, anyway?”

[sebtherecluse-deactivated201609]

Sebastian nodded along to her explanation.  At least she was responsible about her smoking.  There were so many assholes on campus that just didn’t care where they smoked or who they were affecting.  He never used any of the toilets other than the one in his dorm, mostly because people tended to use the seats as ash trays, the ass hats. Ironically, it was kind of like a breath of fresh air to see someone not doing something stupid. 

“I came to pick up my keyboard.  I figured I could use some practice with it since it’s just been sitting in here, untouched, for a good month.”  Hopefully he would actually use it once he took it back to the dorm and didn’t just sit around like had happened the last time he took it from the music room.  It wasn’t that he didn’t like playing; there were just so many other things he could be doing besides practicing. 

[experimental-temperamental-blog]

“Whoa, I didn’t know you played. I thought that thing collecting dust was ornamental or something.” Well, to be fair, Aurelia only saw it occasionally, when she bothered to drop back by her dorm room to sleep. Otherwise, either it couldn’t be found, or it was collecting dust. Aurelia took a long drag, exhaling  slowly and intently, as though she were grasping at the moment of silence that had been very obviously constructed between sentences.

“So you’ve been slacking until now.” Aurelia smirked, her eyes alight as though she had just stumbled upon the most curious of mysteries. Not moving from where she had made herself a comfortable home, she looked over the keyboard curiously. “Why don’t you play here? If I go back to the dorm and I hear you practicing, I might well bludgeon you with the support of the bunk beds... but if I don’t, someone else will. You won’t bother anyone here, anyway.”

Smokin’ Hot | Open

Karen dug through her bag as she stepped behind the English building, making a small sound of triumph as she found what she was looking for. She retrieved the pack of cigarettes and pulled one out quickly, holding it between her lips as she returned to searching. Her expression tugged into a frown as she looked through the various pockets of her bag, even patting down the pockets of her shorts just in case.

She lost her lighter. Again.

“Shit,” she muttered, doing one more futile look through her bag before simply accepting her fate and slumping back against the wall. This was just typical. And she really didn’t want to go all the way back to her dorm and then back just for that.

Maybe she could bum a light from somebody. She looked up again, twirling the unlit smoke between his fingers as she scanned the ‘smoking area’. There had to be somebody she could ask.

[experimental-temperamental-blog]

Hmm? Well, this was kind of entertaining, watching the stranger nearby fumble about. Aurelia had been kneeling down a bit of a ways away from the door, mostly because she didn’t want strangers bumming smokes off of her, but she almost regretted not being close enough to intervene. Well, really, she was close enough, but the amount of effort required to walk those ten steps was too much just to play the card of generosity. Not when she could mind her own business with her own smoke and solitude.

Darn, the thought was almost verbalized as Aurelia realized the stranger was looking around for assistance. Well, at this point, it was already obvious Aurelia wasn’t moving to act. Still, she could play this to her advantage, although it wouldn’t have been quite as good a play as if she had actually gotten her lazy bum up and gone over to help out.

“Even that cute mug of yours won’t light a thing.” Well, she was pretty hot. Still, considering Aurelia’s last encounter with an attractive stranger, she wasn’t holding out any hopes. Besides, if she didn’t have energy to stand up, why would she bother worrying about social expectations? Exhaling slowly, she held out her own lighter, dangling it in the air in a ‘come and get it’ gesture. Here’s hoping this person was good conversation, at least.

(Un)expected Encounters || Aurelia & Claire

[experimental-temperamental-blog]

“Sheesh, no need to keep up the pleasantries.” Aurelia commented sarcastically as Claire mentioned her extreme dislike. Well, Aurelia didn’t entirely get it. She understood it to a certain degree, but thought Claire was exaggerating just a bit in the emotions department. Then again, the pink-haired problem child wasn’t much for understanding emotions. Her emotions, specifically, ranged from disinterest to rage with very little middle ground. She had a bit of fun out of messing with people and doing as she pleased, but her interest and enthusiasm never stayed long. Similarly, her interest in this conversation would most likely teeter out after a few quips… but for now, she was having a hell of a time. “Oh? And here, I came just to see you.”

The girl laughed, as though it might ward off the tension that had grow immensely in just those few moments. “Of course I’m in this club. I attend when I can find the time.”

She usually couldn’t find the time, because she spent it hanging out in the music room or wandering the school looking for a fight. Which was one of the reasons this had been the first club activity she attended in quite a while. It wasn’t like the club amounted to much. They make bracelets and things to fund-raise for their cause. She didn’t much enjoy the meetings or organizing and planning, but she didn’t mind the monotonous work, like gluing together pins or organizing t-shirts. Those were things she could do while her mind wandered, so it wasn’t nearly as much trouble. “… And when there are fun people here, I find the time.”

[wolfskinpackleader]

Claire rolled her eyes and moved past Aurelia, tossing her backpack into one of the desk’s chairs. Aurelia of course followed Claire as she walked, continuing to talk as though the blonde actually wanted to hear a word out of her mouth. 

“No wonder I never saw you. You never have the time.” Just like the never had the time to spend with Claire but sure as hell had the time to be hanging around some other girl. Whatever. “Why don’t you go annoy someone else? Surely you don’t need to be wasting your time talking to me.” She didn’t mean for that to sound so… self-deprecating. “What I mean is, leave me the fuck alone, Aurelia. I have nothing to say to you that’d be nice.”

[experimental-temperamental-blog]

“Hmm? I like being around you. You make funny faces when you’re angry.” Aurelia’s lips curled into something of a smirk, although it had a strange sense to it, as though it matched a bit too well with her sharp gaze. “I waste my time in many different ways. This just happens to be one of them.”

Bold Encounters || Aurelia & Angela

@sneakers-and-sarcasm

Aurelia’s lips pursed in a funny way. They weren’t extremely thin, but neither were they the luscious thickness that society loved. It wasn’t anything about the way they looked when she did this. Rather, it was funny in the way they didn’t hesitate– not even for a moment– as a high-pitched whistle resonated between them. They were trained through music, so being capable wouldn’t have been the problem. Any theoretical hesitation should have been found in the reason she was whistling.

“Nice bikini.” The girl purred towards the victim in front of her. If the catcalling whistle wasn’t enough, the way she looked over the other student’s body had certainly been too much. Well-toned legs screamed sports team… probably track. Short haircut seemed to whisper low-key tomboy… or maybe high-key..? Either way, she knew her own body well, and chose her swimsuit perfectly. Aurelia couldn’t decide if she was interested in the girl of the swimsuit. In the end, though, she decided both was good. “Haven’t seen you around before.”

Despite the interest in her voice, her face didn’t express the same enthusiasm. It was more casual curiosity than anything else. All the same, Aurelia stood up from where she had found a solid spot to lounge and wandered over to meet the girl, giving a quick and casual introduction, “Aurelia.”

[sneakers-and-sarcasm-deactivate]

Once Kai had gotten her number, he went off to go flirt with other girls or something, leaving Angela on her own. Not that she minded, it gave her a chance to look around for Jill.

While she wandered about, there was the unmistakable sound of a wolf whistle. Directed at… her? Slowly, Angela turned around to see a girl with tousled pink hair, decked out in a galaxy swimsuit giving her the once-over. It was… weird.

“Nice bikini.”

That was even weirder. Flattering, but weird. Mostly because it was unexpected. With one hand on her hip Angela looked at the girl who introduced herself as Aurelia skeptically. “Angela.” She replied. “And I haven’t seen you around before either, so I guess that makes us even.” It wasn’t unusual though. There were hundreds of kids in each grade, knowing and seeing every single one of them was a challenge. Though, the pink hair should have made it easier.

[experimental-temperamental-blog]

“...” Aurelia wasn’t sure what response she wanted, but she was a bit disappointed by the one she got. Then again, she would have been genuinely surprised had the brunette oozed some sort of flirtatious comeback. Well, if there wasn’t that immediate sexual tension that the dramas tend to create with a shout from the director, then what was there? She had to get something out of this newly formed acquaintance, or else it wouldn’t be worth it to befriend her. “Jeez, even though I’m usually pretty easy to find. That’s surprising.”

Aurelia’s cat-like stare followed Angela carefully, still trying to discern her. Was this going to be a problem? Aurelia didn’t particularly enjoy dealing with difficult people. Well, what was the worst thing that could happen? She might end up regretting everything and wasting her time. They might get into a fist-fight or something. Alternatively, they might become close friends. Still didn’t seem like it was worth the effort, but it wasn’t like Aurelia had anything better to do, and the girl had caught her interest either way. “Although I can’t say I’m in class that often, so even if we did have one together, I might have never noticed you-- Sorry, I guess, if it matters.”

Break Time || Aurelia & Sebastian

@sebtherecluse

Aurelia had made a pretty good time out of finding places around the school that she could stop to take a smoke. Outside the emergency exit was usually her default, but around this time she happened upon a few teachers out there, so that was out. She thought she could sneak into the girl’s locker room, but a class had just ended and it was full. At some point, the irritation built up and the girl ended up slamming the door to the music room open. It wasn’t like anyone used the room anyway. She hadn’t even bothered to lock the door, she was so caught up in her wild run about the school.

Lighting her cigarette and fiddling with her almost-empty Zippo lighter gave just enough time for someone to walk in unannounced. If it had been a teacher, the girl would have been screwed, but luckily it was only her roommate. That didn’t stop her from jumping, however, as the guy walked like a fucking ninja. “Christ! You scared me half to death. I’ll have to put a bell on you or something.”

“Maybe a collar with your name on it… Huh, Sebby?” Aurelia grinned, speaking with a mixture of flirtation and humor in her voice. She wondered if, perhaps, he was also out of luck finding anywhere else to smoke. As far as she was aware, he didn’t often drop by the music room. Walking across the room, the girl opened the window, if only to make sure no alarms were triggered.

[sebtherecluse-deactivated201609]

With Sebastian getting out of his last class of the day early, he found himself with an abundance of free time.  Perfect.  Now he had all the time to go back to his dorm room and just chill for a while.  Maybe he’d start on his computer science class homework or read a few of the comics he bought and have been left untouched since he brought them home.  The possibilities were endless.  After some thorough thought, he decided that he should practice the keyboard a bit.  It had been a while since he had even touched it, and he was sure he was rusty.

The only problem with his plan was that this involved him actually going to the music room and picking up his keyboard.  It was a hassle in itself to go all the way across campus to pick it up.  He stored it there most of the time, the music teacher being nice enough to let him do so.  It was just so bulky, he didn’t want to leave it in his room.  With three roommates, there was hardly enough room to set up his computer, let alone take up more space to keep and store a keyboard.  The only problem was with it all the way across campus, it took some serious motivation to go and actually practice.

But, out of some weird burst of motivation, Sebastian found himself at the door of the music room. He wasn’t expecting anybody to be in there when he arrived, so he didn’t make a big deal of making himself known.  He opened the door to pretty upexpectantly find his younger roommate trying to light a cig.  Sebastian never considered himself all that stealthy, but he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t light on his feet.  It didn’t come as a surprise to him at all that Aurelia didn’t noticed him right away.  

Sebastian just rolled his eyes and shook his head at her words, though not in an annoyed way, a slight smile on his lips.  He knew his roommate could be rather flirtatious, and he was still kind of getting used to that.  He was sure that once he got to know her better, it wouldn’t be so bad and maybe he would even play along.  But until then, he’d just “man up” and pretend it didn’t make him feel uncomfortable.

And here she was, smoking in the music room like a delinquent.  A girl after his own heart.  He nodded towards the cigarette in her hand, “Do you usually smoke in here, or is this a first?”  Really, Sebastian never thought to smoke in the music room, though then again, he was hardly ever here.  It wasn’t a bad idea.  He made a note that he might have to steal her idea.

(Un)expected Encounters || Aurelia & Claire

@paperavalanche

“Ah–” Aurelia hadn’t really expected her to show up. All the time spent not attending the club had really paid off, though, because sure enough a certain blonde appeared before her, the perfect amount of surprise coloring her face. “G’afternoon, sweetie.”

There was that smile on Aurelia’s face– a very familiar smile to both of them– that was a mixture of mischief, curiosity, and an attempt not to break down laughing. Whether she was laughing with her or at her didn’t matter in the slightest. She was certain just her appearance would be unwanted. Which meant the following words came as an even bigger victory for her, “Didn’t expect to see you here.”

[wolfskinpackleader]

Claire hated going to club meetings for several reasons, the main one being that she could be doing something far more entertaining or worth her time. She had student council work to do and tests to study for, so going to a club meeting was on the bottom of her list. However, the scholarship she applied for wanted an active club member, so she had to attend a meeting. She just didn’t expect to see her cheating, back-stabbing ex-girlfriend there.

“Oh- It’s you.” The petname made Claire’s skin crawl. “What the fuck are you doing here? I didn’t know you were in this club, otherwise I wouldn’t have joined.” She was sure Aurelia was just there to bug her, something the pinkette did rather well.

[experimental-temperamental-blog]

“Sheesh, no need to keep up the pleasantries.” Aurelia commented sarcastically as Claire mentioned her extreme dislike. Well, Aurelia didn’t entirely get it.
