Salutations de Vacances, mon Amour.

[leeeeeeeah]

Ivy
"I'm gonna go pay for mine," I said, gesturing in the direction of the cashier. "Are you gonna try yours on first or not?"

Aaron
"Sure," I nodded, looking over at where Ivy and Hollie were. They were talking so I decided I'd just text her on the way to the food court. Let her be sociable and all.

[lauren.]

Braxton;
"They'll be fine,"I said chuckling as I headed out the way Izzy was going. For some reason Desmond just rubbed her in a way she didn't like. They were a like, so of course Izzy was irritated with him.

Izzy;
I yawned as I walked, looking around. Some people you just wondered why they would even go out like that.

[grey scale:]

Desmond
"Hols is probably going to pitch up a tent in here anyway, we might as well write her off as a lost cause," I said, rolling my eyes as we left the store.

Hollie
"I'll pay for mine now, too! I shop here often enough that I know what fits and what doesn't," I said, laughing.

[leeeeeeeah]

Ivy
"Right," I nodded, quickly checking I had enough money before going up to the cashier with Hollie.

Aaron
As we left the store, I quickly texted my sister telling her we'd all gone to the food court and that she could come find us when she was done shopping.

[lauren.]

Braxton;
I chuckled,"I'm glad Izzy doesn't like to shop for girly things or I'd be in over my head,"I said shaking my head as I kept an eye on Izzy ahead of us.

Izzy;
I yawned as I stepped out of people's way as they were walking towards me. Stupid people. I found my way to the food court and went to get a piece of pizza and a slushie.

TIME LE SKIP OF LE SKIPPIEST VARIETAY
____________________

Hollie
I bounced into the gym Monday afternoon. It was one of those two-till five days Mrs. Whitesand had told us about, and I was sort of dreading it. I kept up my bouncy, optimistic attitude, though. I'd had a great day, but I was wary of the meeting because I didn't want it to ruin it, you know? I was wearing one of my absolutely favorite floral dresses, and my favorite pale peach flats that went just perfectly with them, and the junk jewelry that was pretty but dainty, and my makeup had gone on in that way that was just right this morning, as well as my hair drying and lightly curling all of its own accord, as it so rarely did. But I knew the group of people I had to work with, and I knew that they all had clashing personalities. I audibly sighed, setting down my notebook, which I had been organising work groups in all day, and trying to envision the gym as I hoped it would look when fully decorated for the dance.

Desmond
I hummed to myself as I made my way to the gym. I wouldn't even be bothering if it weren't for the fact that Hollie was in a good mood today -- and if I skipped, she would be pissed. there was one time that you did not want to piss off Hollie, and it was when she was in a good mood. She was down right, Bigfoot-meets-the-Lochness-Monster-meet-the-Bogeyman, fucking scary when she was pissed off on a good day.

[leeeeeeeah]

Ivy
Aaron and I entered the gym not long after Hollie and that other guy -- I'm sure his name was Desmond or something, I'd never been formally introduced -- and we sat down. Aaron forced me to sit somewhat closer to the other people that I had last time and I didn't really mind. Hollie was nice enough. If I got to know her better I could probably compliment her and actually mean it or even possibly call her my friend.

Aaron
Ivy and I went into the gym and sat down, closer to people this time. I noticed after we sat down that Hollie looked exceptionally pretty; I mean, I had to admit she was pretty anyway, but she looked very pretty today. I would have told her that but it would have been kind of creepy since I didn't really know her.

[lauren.]

Izzy;
I sulked into the gym, I hated this. Especially Desmond, who constantly has to bug me. Well I kind of did like him but I would never admit that. I slung my backpack better on one of my shoulders. I didn't have my hat today cause the stupid bitch of a teacher took it from me. I glared when Braxton took me by the arm to sit down.

Braxton;
Izzy was somewhat off in space at the moment, about to run into the wall, so I grabbed her arm and sat her down next to me on the bleachers. I was kind of looking forward to this, I mean, I've gotten to know Aaron a little bit and that Ivy girl was sure pretty to look at.

[grey scale:]

Hollie
I smiled and waved, greeting them as they came into the gym. "We've got everybody, right?" I asked, not looking up from my notebook as I spoke.

Desmond
"Nah, we're missing little Jimmy. He got caught in well out in those there prarielands, but Lassie's gone to rescue him so we can all breathe easier now," I said sarcastically, sprawling on on the bleachers sleepily beside Braxton.

[leeeeeeeah]

Aaron
"Yeah," I nodded, scuffing my shoes on the edge of the bleachers out of boredom. If this was anything like the last meeting it was going to be kind of boring. But hey, I could always look at Hollie.

Ivy
I was all prepared for the meeting being as boring as the last one; as such, I was already reading a book I'd pulled out from my bag. I always had a book with me no matter what.

[lauren.]

Izzy;
"It's Timmy, moron,"I muttered rolling my eyes. I leaned back so my elbows rested against the next bench behind me. I sighed quietly and ran a hand through my messy hair. Darn teacher for taking my hat.

Braxton;
I couldn't help but chuckle at what Izzy said, kinda surprised she knew that. But hey, she was secretly good at school just didn't show it or want anyone to know.

[grey scale:]

Desmond
Unaffected, I glanced over my shoulder at Izzy. "Pardon my originality, Izzy," I said, smiling as absolutely charmingly as I could at her.

Hollie
I looked at Des, shook my head, and sighed. "Anyway," I said pointedly, hoping he and Izzy didn't decide to have it out or start sucking face in the middle of the group before the meeting was over.

[leeeeeeeah]

Aaron
"What are we working on today then?" I asked, leaning my elbows on my knees and my chin in my hands.

Ivy
I tuned everyone out, reading my book. Nothing much was happening anyway.

[lauren.]

Izzy;
I glared at him,"Orginality my ass,"I said rolling my eyes. Stupid charming jack-ass. I looked away from him, anywhere but him.

Braxton;
I rolled my eyes, thinking about moving if they didn't shut up. I can only take so much of the rude flirting they do.

[grey scale:]

Hollie
I tried to smile at everybody, but their negativity was already bringing me down. Damn. "I was thinking we could split into pairs and make signs, for the dance. You know, to promote it around campus and all that. I tried to organize the groups where the creativity was even distributed, for lack of a better phrase." I looked around, biting my lip. "I'll be right back," I said, sprinting off to the girls' locker room and getting the poster supplies. "Okay! Our groups are Ivy and Izzy, Des and Braxton, and Aaron and me."

Desmond
I shrugged, sitting up and stretching with a massive yawn. Braxton was alright. It was pretty obvious I was the artistic one. At least, I think that's the way hols meant it.
