New Day, Same Garbage (OPEN, New Character)

[Marita]

Marita shut her locker with mild frustration. She hadn't done enough studying for her bio exams because she was too busy practicing with the swim team. What a nuisance.

Dressed in a white tanktop, short dark red skirt, and knee-high boots with 3 inch heels, no name brand, but a decent enough fit, Marita was short and trim. She slung her bookbag over her shoulder, shifting her chin-length brown hair slightly. She really had to pass this exam, but if she skipped any more of her practices, she was going to have the tougher girls give her a thorough beating so she could get her 'priorities' in order. After all, resting on her laurels as a talented swimmer meant nothing if you didn't practice.

She sighed. Today she had a feeling wasn't going to be easy.

[Jin Takanawa]

It was early in the morning and Jin was really feeling the effects of taking the kids karate class 7 nights in a row for his father.
They had him completely drained they just never listened to what he said instead he had kids crying fighting and overall giving him a hard time.... NEVER AGAIN.

He came into school yawing and sometimes half sleeping in black trousers, a white long sleeve shirt that was untucked and black trainers. Jins usual spiky hair were a tad messy due to him really just not being bothered today.

On top of having to manage the kids class he had also done virtually no revision for his German test today which made him feel even worse.

He got to his locker and took about five minutes fiddling with the key until he finally got it in his lockers padlock and got his books out for the day.

Across the hall he noticed a girl that looked pretty miserable herself.

"Well... at least I'm not the only having a bad
day."

He thought to himself.

[Marita]

She had noticed a guy checking her out. It was always when she wore the boots that guys noticed her, except when she was in her school swimsuit naturally. Maybe he was just trying to peek under her skirt, but his eyes seemed to be a little high for that. So that meant he wasn't just some ogler.

"Can I help you?" Marita asks rather casually, looking at him, trying to place the face. She remembered him as being in her class, but she never had spoken to him, nor he to her, so she had no idea who he was.

[Jin Takanawa]

Jin was becoming half asleep with his eyes open but his mind else where he only woke from his day dream state when the girl he looked at spoke to him.

Jin thought to himself,

"Nice one pal in sleepy stupor that girl probably thought you were tryin to perv at her nice one numnuts".

Jin replied,

"Huh oh nothing you just look like your having a bad day cant say any different about myself mind".

"Oh nice recovery idiot". He thought to himself.

"You know I've seen you somewhere, your in a few of my classes aren't you"?

[Marita]

"I think so." Marita answered neutrally. "I'm Marita." She sized him up and at a glance. He looked like he hadn't slept. Bags under the eyes were such a huge turnoff. It meant they either were taken or were some sort of emo, usually.

It was best not to lead him on, but not to shove anyone off. After all, he might be in a gang.

[Jin Takanawa]

"I'm Jin" he replied to Marita.

"Sorry if I look like a bit of mess but things have been a little bit hectic for me recently".

Jin laughed hoping she didn't think he looked like this all the time.

[Marita]

"It happens." Marita shrugged. "But I need to review for my organisms and populations exam. Will that be all, or is there some sort of desperate reason that you need to talk to me?"

Ooh...I don't think that came out right.

[Jin Takanawa]

"Will that be all, she makes it sound like I'm in some sort of restaurant I'm sure she meant nothing by it".
Jin thought.

"Uh nothing much else to say I guess... unless you want any help or something".

Jin probably shouldn't have been asking to help her as he had revision to do himself but he thought it would help wake him up a bit more so why not.

[Marita]

"You?" Marita asked incredulously. "I haven't seen you in my biology class. Have you taken the course already?"

[Jin Takanawa]

"Actually my ability in biology would be pretty limited compared to yours so I suppose I'd best not help you... unless of course you want guarantied failure."
Jin laughed

[Marita]

"No." She states simply. "I really don't. Why would you even bother offering?" Marita was interested in seeing what his excuse was going to be.

[Jin Takanawa]

"Just being polite I suppose."
Jin smiled.

"Talk about curious she almost bordering on paranoid unless of course she thinks she has good reason to be, am I really that bad a lookin a person today.", he thought to himself.

[Marita]

"Great. When being polite lets us pass exams, be sure to let me know so I'll remember Miss Manners." Marita stated rather sarcastically.

[Leon Loire]

Guys, just so you know (and Jin, you should know this by now), posting one liners is against the board's conduct; it's expected that EACH post is at least one full paragraph or two, based on what is necessary for you to post. That reply should cover the character receiving the comment or action by other RPers, your character's thoughts on the comment or action, and then a reply in however much detail is needed.

For certain, there's a regulation 552 is using that I like - every post you make HAS to have a MINIMUM of 300 characters used, but even then, that's the bare minimum, and here at Hircine, we expect more out of you.

I want to see more effort from each of you, for the sake of your character development, or I may have to lock this thread. So please, pick it up. I don't want to just see the spoken word and not some commentary or narration missing. Give it everything you can, and if you need help, ask me.

[Jin Takanawa]

OK at first I assumed she was just having a bad day but shes beginning to sound rude, dunno if it was something I said but theres really no need, Jin thought to himself.

Jin replied sarcastically back at Marita,
"Thats alright I'll make sure I let you know if that ever happens then."

Jin then walked back to his locker and started looking through it for the books he needed for the day.
