"I'm alright," Kris said as she looked to her roommate. "Just unwinding from practice and a misunderstanding that I don't want to talk about. Thanks for asking."

From across the empty gym came a startling crash.
More specifically, *crash* *boom* *thudthudthud* *clatter* *rattle* *clinkle clinkle* *tink* *tink* *tink* *sigh*
An unmistakable pink mop leaned angrily over a pile of odds and ends. A cracked boombox, a tattered witch hat, a pile of CDs, and a messy heap of what could have been nothing other than cheersquad uniforms.
Franky grimaced as much from the mess as from the noise. Surely every sonic in the school had heard that one. She looked strange, her usual gothic appearance had changed from the heavy black clothes; militant accessories; shiny, metal, magic talismans and high combat boots into...into...a sleek, black, leotard?...with black tights?
She paused, suddenly and looked up, her eyes nearly obscured by wild pink strands and a stray post-it note. The entire image seemed almost like some kind of psychotic tooth fairy with a grim-reaper complex.
"Kris?" She called across the gym. "Is that you?"

Kris started at the crashing sound, and looked to the source. Seeing Fanky in the position she was in, the redhead flew over to her. She reached down, and helped the goth witch up.
"Franky," she asked. "Are you alright?"
"Franky," she asked. "Are you alright?"

The sound that came from Francis sounded something like a cross between a growl and profanity laden mumble.
"Yeah, Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks Kris."
She settled on her feet and brushed the gym floor dust from her black tights before looking up.
Her expression became almost amused despite the growing bruise on her arm. She looked Kris and up and down and then glanced over at the boombox.
"Kris," She could barely contain the smile. "What are you doing?"

"I was practicing," she meekly responded to Franky's question. "I mean. I know I missed tryouts, and all, but I really want to do this. I chickened out, after Stasis and Mis stole the show, and sort of built my courage back up. I was going to ask if I could get a late tryout, since Simon has taken missing."

Kali watches as Kris storms out. Her temper has flared and she knows not to chase after Kris.
After awhile of pacing the room and mumbling to herself of the nerve some people have Kali decides she can stand it no more and grabs a pen and a notebook and begins to write.
Kris,
You know You have this holier then thou thing really going for you dont you? You think youre any better then me? well youre not! dont think noone noticed you leave Pocket D after the dance with your dress wrinkled and makeup smeared cause some of us did. We just chose to say nothing because it simply wasnt anyone elses business but Yours and Arrows.
Maybe you should learn to keep your nose in your own business and OUT of everyone elses !
Kali slams the notebook down now.
She sits for a few moments contemplating what she has written and tears the page from the binder , ripping it into pieces and tossing it into the garbage.
On a clean sheet she begins again...
Kris ,
Im sorry I lost my temper.
Maybe we can still talk sometime about things. Im sure Youll make the team your practice I saw was really good and I mean that.
Kali
She folds the note neatly and walks to Kris's room. She can leave it there for Kris to find when she returns.

Kris blinked a few times, realizing finally just what Franky had said. She wanted Kris to try out. Kris. The geeky girl! She was going to get to try out! Holy crud on a post-it-note!
Turning the redhead walked to the boombox, turned off the quiet music, and switched cd's to the music she had been practicing. Feeling the heavy drum & Bass fill her body, as well as the gym, Kris slowly smiled and bounced slightly on the balls of her feet, before running to center court.
Arriving just as the intro piece stopped, she counted the 5 seconds off in her head, and went to it. Some of her muscles were already protesting from having practised so long already, but she pushed on, and gave it her all. She was very pleased, and hoped Franky would be too, until the final part came into play.
The can't ended with a dance, and Kris was very into the music by then. Turning the backflip at the very end, and cheering "Go Flyers!" Kris landed not quite right, and fell. It was pretty embarassing, the half-thud/half-smacking sound her but and thighs made as she hit the waxed wood floor. Still, she remembered the one cheer coach said to never stay down, to always find a way to bounce back up. using her flight for the ever so slight push she needed, she popped back to her feet.
"Uhmm... Well," she said as her face turned a few shades of scarlet. "It was good, except for my splat, just then. Sorry, Franky."

Francis stood in silence, her face of mask of impassive thought. Kris stood with a hopeful smile, the sweat on her upper lip was hastily wiped away.
"Hmmm...." She sighed, "Well, the one thing I could always say about St. Joe's was that the food is mediochre, the service is lacking, but the floor show is spectacular."
Kris looked slightly confused.
"So." Franky scratched the top of her head, "What size do you wear?"

A mad howl of laughter disrupted the two girls conversation.
"Nice moves Red!!! But uh.... I think we're The Flyers, not the Fallers!!!"
Tolliver was doubled over, clutching his sides, his eyes tearing up from the uncontrolled fit of laughter. "and where in the hell did you get the ridiculous outfit Franny? Seriously babe, stick to the leather."
Catching his breath, the miniture thug continued on his way to the locker. His mocking laugh still echoing throughout the empty gym.

Ahhhhh Nothing like laying on a ledge before class!
Eshva thought happily as she lay on a beam in the Cliening of the gym. Trying out a new place to relax was always fun for her. Eshva hadn't been in the gym asides from phys ed. Now she had a few moments to herself and maybe a new hide spot ^^
::tap tap tap tap ::
The sounds of foot steps.. who was coming? Eshva thought as she peeked her head of the edge. There was Kris coming in with a boom box. What the?? COnfussed Eshva watched as Kris set up her boom box and start playing music. The tune was classical, and very relaxing to Eshva's pointed ears. oooo I could live with this. Eshva streched out and rested her head against the beam. She turned her head to peek at Kris again. There she was dancing.. or what Eshva thought was dancing. She wasn't sure. What ever it was it looked good.
She rathered liked Kris. Eshva didn't know why yet.. Just like the natural liking of most of the students at the school. She didn't really know lots yet But the few she did, like Glacial, Stormy, and Rin.. were wonderful to her. Going back into daydream mode again she relaxed..
::crash boom thudthudthud clatter rattle clinkle clinkle tink* tink* *tink* *sigh*::
Eshva just about feel off the beam! What the heck was that!! Her eyes wanderd to the other side of the gym.. and she just about laughed out loud. There was Francis clumsly falling out of what must have been the storage room, covered in note pad stickies. Eshva found it just a little odd that the Resident "gothic chick" was also the "cheersquad leader" most books she'd read it was some blond valley girl... but SJS isn't your normal school.
Eshva getting back to relaxing didn't really pay attention to the converstation til she heard the words "What size do you wear?" Came out of Francis mouth. Was Kris trying out for the cheer squad? Way a go kris! Smile crossed her face. Thats neat I'll have to congratuate her later It might give me something to talk to her about and make a new friend ^^ Eshva fidgeted with her fingers again. She must have gotten adicted to talking to people... seeing she really hasn't chatted with anyone for a long time.. Very shy about her horns, she mostly kept her from staying long enough for the people she saved to even say thanks if she was alone..
:: HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!:: Rang threw out the gym.
Sweet jebus! That time Eshva did fall off her beam. Catching herself by a hand she quickly climbed back up again. Looking to the door she saw Tolliver laughing. Eshva scolded Thats rude. As he shouted out mocking words to both francis and Kris.. Eshva makes a mental note The gym is not a good relaxing place Taking in a breath for a sigh she decides it best to sneak out of the gym. She climbs along the beams hopeing to make it to the windows before she gets noticed.[/i]

Dearest Heavenly Father;
I know your awfully busy right now,
But all I ask is for one small thing now,
Please Heavenly Father,
Please take care of my friends at this time.

As Tolliver was heading towards the locker room, the Day twins emerged and headed in his direction. "I don't know Tolli, seems she flew right to her feet after her tumble."
"And she certainly seems much nimbler on her feet than you do."
"How about you show us what you can do for cheer squad?" And with that, the twins grabbed each of his arms and dragged him back to Franky and Kris.
"But first, I think you owe these ladies an apology for making them suffer your presence."
The twins are taller than Tolliver, but he's more built. Two against one, the odds look like they'd be in the twin's favor, but only barely so.

Deciding not to let her pride get the better of her , Kali heads back down toward the gym. Maybe she can still catch Kris .
As she approaches the doorway she sees Kris going through Her routine with Franky nearby.
" Looks like Ill be soloing this anyways " she thinks to herself.
Sliding in quietly and taking a seat on a bleacher thats been pulled out from the wall she stays and watches with a smile as Franky asks Kris what size she wears.
Kali Is about to sneak quietly back out when Tollivers laughs and comments grab her attention.
" That kid needs someone to put Him in His place" she thinks to herself shaking her head.
As the rude one leaves , Kali stands and begins to leave when the Day twins come hauling the rude one back through the doors.
"oh this is gonna be good" she thinks as she returns to her seat to watch what happens next.

Tolliver simply shrugged off the the Day twins. "Oh, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb, I am so frightend." he mocked "I don't think you'll be the ones to teach me anything today, besides I think they might have something to say about that."
Tolliver pointed behind the day twins to the entire SJS wrestling team who had emerged from the locker room. The short ruffian, continued past the twins and joined the rest of his team, ignoring the two brothers.
((sorry to pull a trump card here, but this is Kris' thread not the "I try to beat up the bully" thread. Tolliver made his smart ass comment and is leaving for his practice. ))
