Welcome to Gaia! ::

((O.o hecksters no. Raver/Kandikids/plur... basicly techno-like parties with lots of flashy lights. A 'sub-class' of ravers are known as kandi-kids, which is what he would be, minus the kandi. They pretty much follow the idea of PLURR, which is an acronym for Peace, Love, Unity, Respect, and Responsibility. They go around, give people hugs, behave, for the most part, nice, kind, lovable, respectful, responsible, and good-natured. They love techno, and LEDs, and glowsticks... and fuzzy clothes, and cute things like kitties.))

((....My dad was a hippy. But ravers are cool. XD We ad a bunch of themin Virginia when I lived there. Never saw Kandi-kids though))

Sora woke early, much to early for her taste. She threw her clock into the wall, radiating a bad mood, clock most likely passing through the wall. She watched it fly into the hot-springs and stepped out of her room, brushing her blonde hair in a bathroom, god knows which one, and placed her hair in pig-tails. Sora's uniform was the easiest thing to do in the morning, seeing as she wore it almost all the time anyways.

Sora pulled some food out of the fridge, and noticed she had woken up an hour early. She had time before school, so why rush? Looking at her timetable, she loved everything she had that term except math. She was surprised she was still passing; Two math credits down, two to go.

The blondie stepped outside, shutting the door quietly, boucning up and down, slidding down the bannaster to the bottom of the stairs. Jumping off and nearly tripping into a near-bye bush, Sora smilled brightly and stepped on the cone hat her math teacher would have made her wore...

...If Sora hadn't 'forgotten' it at the orphanage last during the summer, in which Sora made an 'emotional' and 'heart-wrenching' trip to her old residence.

Not really. She spent the whole summer watching anime and reading as many comics as she could, as well as participating and excelling at many summer sports teams.

Kyo had arrived at school early on the first day of school, as he would every other day, if he could help it. There was nothing that would make him want to stay home, whereas the school offered at least some comfort. Kichiro, his best friend, would be there, as would the Hinate house girls, and Kyo always took some comfort in bugging them, especially Sora.

Just thinking about her name reminded him of the previous day. Ha! I sure got her good, I bet she dropped everything. Hehehe.

The oncoming school year provided no worry for Kyo, he always seemed to be at the top of his class, no matter what it was. Math, Geography, History, Sciences. You name it, Kyo likely held the highest mark in that particular class. In fact, the only class Kyo was never the pinnacle of excellence in was Physical Education. Although he always did exceeding well, one person always managed to eclipse his grade by some margin: Sora. It never really bothered Kyo, school was just something he had to do, and for the most part, he did it well. Besides, she did better that him in only one class, while he bested every other in his school in the others. This year would likely be no exception to Kyo's expectations: high marks, awards, and then a summer vacation he didn't want to have. Summer meant no school, and no school meant he was at home...


Kyo stood patiently at his locker, waiting for the time when the hallway he stood in would be flooded by teenagers. Waiting for Kichiro, the one person he knew was a friend, and the Hinata girl, whom he had always thought of as friends, and who he hoped reciprocated the feeling, despite a minor... disagreements.

((Yeah, that's what I'm calling 'em! Disagreements! Because pranks just sound so anti-climactic.))

As dawn approached, Nina woke from her slumber with a grin on her face. She still felt a bit childish considering she had a few stuffed animals around her when she woke up but she didn't really care. Her hair was an absolute mess and she appeared almost like she had a hang over of some sort. Nina, despite her usually cute and boisterous personality was a bit of a slob when it came to waking up in the morning. She glanced at her clock and then jumped out of bed fast and quickly made her bed; whcih wasn't saying much considering all she did was throw the top blanket over the rest of the bed.

Keeping up the pace, she took her towel and toothbrush and such and skipped merrily down to the nearest bathroom. Unfortunately Madison was in the closest bathroom at that time so she hurried off to another nearby bathroom which was conviently open. She went into the bathroom and began to wash up quickly, brush her teeth and get dressed. She put on her uniform and then began to do her hair. She went to her back pack and began to go through it. "Gee, I wish I went and checked if I had everything yesterday." She said knowing that she would be unprepared. Unfortunately, as she was checking her bag, she was only checking for the nonessential items for school.

She swung her backpack onto her back and then walked towards the kitchen. About the only thing that Nina actually prepares for herself is her lunch. She opened the fridge and then turned towards the small rice dumplings and cold soup that she had in the fridge and took them out and put them into a small pink lunch box that featured Hello Kitty on it. She also took out an apple and a small carton of milk and placed it in there as well. She sighed with relief as she finished and rushed through most of her morning excersises. She sat on the chair wiping the small sweatdrops on her face. She still had some time before she had to leave. She went to the fridge again and took out some milk and then reached for the cereal, spoon and a bowl.

Sora walked into school, birds chirping in her wake and rainbows shining. Even after she had dropped many school supplies in the river, she had enough to get her through her first term. Checking the board outside equipment office, Sora read quickly through the sports teams. Pulling out a digital camera she had earned through simple, one-time jobs around her neighbourhood, she took a picture of the list. Sora had also bought an iPod. A quick and simple way to easily ignore all and every teacher.

She had almost an hour and a half before classes started, so the blode ditz organized her locker, and made sure all of her summer homework had been completed. Sora was glad she had all the text-book questions, nothing to 'read in between the lines' about.

Sora pulled out a 'Kiss in the Dark' manga, cleverly disguised as a history novel, bouncing from foot-to-foot to 'Boom boom boom' blasting out of her ear-phones. The teacher's just stared at her, glancing her over as it looked like she had turned a new leaf. A long and easy chat with her physical education teacher lead to a few quick laughs, which quickly died at the sight of her nemisis.

"Kyo..." She ground out with each letter drowning in annoyance. The song finished, and she closed her book, passing the red-head with her nose in the air and not so much a as a backwards glance. "I'm ready to own you at basketball this year again, I hope this year your not such a wimp."

Sora could only smile. A new challenge and a burn? She was on a role.
