Library. Open.

Eden sat in the back corner table of the library. It was the one spot in which she could observe all around her, yet no one who she couldn't see could see her. The girl let out a small sigh, pursing her lips together as her eyes darted from the page to wander just over the top edge of the book. There didn't seem to be too many people in there today. The library was never really crowded, but it was usually a bit busier than this.

Eden sat the book she'd been reading gently down on the table and pushed her chair out in favor of wandering down one of the aisles. She ran her fingers along the spines of the books as she walked, not really paying much attention to what they were. Hearing a nearby noise, Eden stopped walking abruptly, crouching slightly to peer between the books on the shelves. Someone was in the next aisle. She could see the movements of their figure, but it was too difficult to conclude who they actually were.

Not So Casual || Open Para

Alexander walked along the slowly emptying hallway towards the cafeteria. He hadn't eaten all day and his stomach was making incredibly disturbing noises that sounded like a villain from some classic supernatural horror flick dying. His pace was slow and his hands were tucked into his front pockets, his eyes on the people in front of him. Alexander knew that in this school you either keep a smug look on your face or get shot down by the ones around you. The trick was to be the bigger bitch. Look unapproachable and people know not to fuck with you, look on the border and people fall for it like it's a sirens call and come dashing to be broken, either way he knew what he was doing. The smug look was complete with a cocky smile, always painted on his face, and slightly narrowed eyes. This made him look unapproachable, which was the look he was going for. Alexander kept in mind that though he may look unapproachable, there were still some ballsy people in the school. So, if someone walked up to him he instantly knew that they weren't all that terrified of a little bitch fest. 

Alexander had on a black pair of dress pants and a white v-neck t-shirt, as always he was following the dress code. He thought it looked good together and the way that he was walking showed just how hot he felt. With his shoulders raised only slightly, his strides slow but confident, he was unaware that anyone would even bother to walk up to him by now. The cafeteria was still all the way across the school and he stopped for a moment to lean against a wall, one foot pressed against the wall and his knee bent while the other foot was flat on the ground. Alexander leaned his head back and stared up at the ceiling only to have his thoughts interrupted by a familiar voice.

Same Old Haunts

The courtyard was still Cami's favorite place, even now after her death. Part of her raved about how morbid it was, sick even that she so enjoyed the place she had been attacked. The place she had died. The majority of her didn't mind that she often found herself drifting back to the courtyard. Maybe it was morbid and fucked up but Cami was dead and if a ghost didn't get to be fucked up and morbid than who did?

And so, Cami found herself wandering the courtyard this morning.Slipping past the guards was easier than it had ever been before, if anything being even quieter was a pro of being dead. Needless to say it made sneaking around easier.

The morning sun was surprisingly warm on her face, she relaxed a bit. Odd, that anywhere in this place could make her feel relaxed. Her thoughts were stopped when she heard footsteps behind her. She didn't bother turning around to address whoever it was.

"Following me? Do I have a stalker?" Cami sounded more curious than bothered. And she certainly didn't sound scared. Being dead gave you a different kind of bravery.

Follow Me || Open Para

Alexander hummed to himself as he walked from the gym, sick of the loud mouthed kids. It was already too much to handle, watching security guards stand there with some superiority complex, like they owned the place. As a person with no interest whatsoever in the likes of authority, he wasn't surprised by this bitterness, but more so surprised that he felt bad for them. He had seen multiple guards looking so worn out and exhausted, he could only imagine how bad it was. While they could lay down on the floor or on a cot to gain rest, the security guards were stuck standing and watching. For reasons unknown, he sympathized. 

As he walked he looked along the halls, admiring how empty it looked because of the situation. He was surprised to see that security was so low. They were exhausting all of their resources to room checks and guarding the gym and doors to the outside that they didn't stop to see if anyone would be walking in the halls, hiding away. It was this that made Alexander chose the library to spend his time. After all, who would think to look in there? A few more hallways and a couple of turns and he made his way into the large library, sitting himself down in his favorite isle of books, horror and romance. He had never stopped to wonder if someone was following him.
