Friday the 13th (Open)

((For my sanity, and yours. Please post.))

It's gonna be a rough day today. Kai rolled over in his bed, looking at the time his phone displayed. Whatever. I guess I'll go. If I have bad luck today, I'd rather have it outside than in my dorm. Lazily, he got out of bed and threw on a pair of jeans, a T-shirt, and a pair of socks with holes in them. Slipping his frayed shoes on, he took one last look at his MacBook.

Good. All my activities are cloaked. But to be safe, I'll shut down all the programs. His finger was halfway to the [ESC] button when he stopped and mentally slapped himself. Who am I kidding? To be so superstitious. Satisfied with this thought, he closed the computer, picked up his keys, and left the dorm. A few seconds later, the turn of a lock sounded, and footsteps faded down the hall, and eventually, down the stairs.

A few minutes later:[/i]

So far so good.

Kai strolled on the grass, towards the main entrance. As usual, the gang of potheads were stuck by the side of the school, too many brain cells destroyed to move. He walked briskly past them, and up the steps. As he entered, the bell for first period sounded.

Crap.

He entered his classroom (Math) as quietly as he could, but the teacher caught him. "Mr. Morei. Nice try. Now give me twenty five push ups." The teacher hadn't even turned around. With a small sigh, Kai dropped his books onto his desk and got onto the ground. He had reached fifteen by the time the teacher realized.

"What are you doing?! It was a joke!" the teacher exclaimed, chuckling as the class howled with laughter. Red faced and embarrassed, Kai took his seat in his usual manner, and waited for the period to end.

Sigh.

[Kit Lee]

Kit was bored of the class. Math was Kit's best subject as it was a series of formulas and just required the analytical mind to process each formula in the mind, determining which one would be useful in the problem posed. Sometimes, the problem required multiple equations and formulas to solve but it was still not something that had troubled Kit as he was using to analyzing and solving problems as the characters of books he had read often did. The teacher's lesson was soon interrupted by a late student who tried to sneak in, avoiding the notice of the teacher. "Mr. Morei. Nice try. Now give me twenty five push ups." the teacher had said. The boy complied and the teacher soon exclaimed that it was a joke, and the entire class except for Kit burst into laughter.

"Pst, pst," Kit said to the boy who had just entered Math class late. Kit had seen this boy somewhere before though, aside from the mirror and class. The boy had similiar facial features to Kit though he dressed nowhere similiar to him, nor did he style his hair with gel the way Kit did.

"My name Kit. I uhh see you somewhere before?" Kit asked, making sure the teacher would not hear him talk to the boy. Before Kit was able to hear the response, the fire alarm had rang. Either some idiot was playing with the alarm, it was a real fire (which was also a highly probable event), or it was just a drill. Awaiting the announcement from the P.A. system, Kit looked at the boy, waiting for the answer.

((Hey, another BBoy?!))

Kai turned around slowly. Talk about a dead ringer. Kai smiled inwardly, amused to see someone so similar to himself. Although beyond the face, and probably the nationality, nothing else was the same. This boy dressed more.... clean, whilst Kai probably looked like a shabby version if they were compared side by side. "No. I don't believe we've met before...." he said slowly, looking at the boy with his usual wide-eyed stare.

BEEP BEEP![/i]

The loud noise snapped Kai back into reality so quick that Kai lost his balancing. Which usually doesn't happen when Kai is perched on a seat. Must be a really bad day for that to happen..... he thought sullenly as he trudged out the door with the rest of the class. He looked behind at Kit for a second, and spoke.

"I'm Kenji, but you should know that. Since the teacher calls attendance everyday....."

((Kenji is Kai's alias, in case you were wondering.))

[Kit Lee]

OOC: Yeah I'm a bboy except noob at it, only started several months ago. I can't do the moves Kit does hahaha

IC: Nodding, he followed Kenji as they walked out of the classroom. The moment Kit walked out however, he realized that the fire was real. From far away, the flames could be seen brightly shining the end of the hallway. Kit wondered what the cause of the fire was or how it was being fueled. Kit was not in much of a position to think or move toward the cause though as the teacher hurried the students down the hall towards the exit. It was unnecessary as the students were already stampeding down the hall, away from the fire. A sprinkler system was hooked up in the school hallways and it had finally kicked in on the fire. The sprinklers came on one by one down the hall and Kit pulled out the umbrella he had always carried with him so that he would not get wet. The fire didn't seem to be calmed by the weak downpour of the sprinkler system. He turned to Kai and wondered how he would act, and wondered if anyone else was going to step in. Kit had faced a fire back when he was in Hong Kong. However, due to the traffic from people population and the mass amount of cars, the firefighters got there quite late and someone had lost a child in the fire before they even arrived.

What the hell? The fire is real?

Kai stood by the side as kids stampeded down the hall, away from the fire. A few seconds later, the sprinklers finally reacted and rained down on them. As Kai stood there beginning to soak, a soft thwump of an umbrella being opened made him turn around. Ridiculously, like that musi video with Lil' Jon in the Japanese club, he stood there with an umbrella.

Wow. He's either a pansy, a bully who whacks people with umbrellas, or simply had one in the right place at the right time. Kai grinned slightly and shook his head at Kit. Kai could have stopped the fire if he'd like, but he didn't want to get himself dirty and black before the day had even started. SO he simply waited for the sprinklers to do their job, standing in the emptying hallway with this kid named Kit.

Noting that Kenji was not reacting to the fire, the hallway was clearing out and the staff was yelling at the two, telling them to evacuate immediately. Kit glanced at his teacher and bowed saying, "Sorry, must check to see if anyone need help, cannot leave like this." With a push of the button, the umbrella closed and Kit pulled the compact umbrella back into its smallest form and tucked it into his bookbag. Though Kit did not want to get wet, it would be best to do so if he was going to face a fire as it would act as a weak buffer, preventing him from becoming immediately roasted should he come in contact with the fire. Kit was no hero, but he would assist if a problem was shown to him in plain sight as his conscious would not allow him to simply ignore it. "Uh you want help me, help if anyone is over there Kenji?" Kit asked as he started dashing towards the source of the fire. "Sorry!" Kit said again as the teacher shouted at him to come back. He did not know what reprocussions there were for disobeying the teacher and rushing towards a fire when he was not a firefighter, but he knew he had to go and make sure nobody needed help.

Kai watched as Kit took off. Heroic, but kind of dumb. Unless he's going to save some people fool enough to be stuck behind the fire, there's nothing he can do. He looked up at the sprinklers, and stuck his tongue out. Tastes like tap water, he thought, a completely irrelevant thought passing through his mind. He sighed, and began walking after Kit, taking long strides.

He walked slowly around the fire. He was about halfway there, when he realized that this was the last place he wanted to be. If they found him inside here, walking so calmly, they'd automatically assume that he was the perpetrator. So turning around without a thought for his acquaintance, he turned around and walked towards the exit.

Sorry Kit.

((I'm evil.))

Kit noticed from the corner of his eye that Kenji was walking off. He expected such a response, as he doubted that people in this school really cared for their fellow student. Everyone seemed to be divided into their cliches with the biggest cliche of all being the Varron transfers and the Hircine students. Kit belonged to neither and he did not feel the need to side with one or the other as both sides had some pretty psychotic people. Though this would single him out from the population of the school, Kit did not care, and would continue following his conscience that determined what was right and what was wrong. And his conscience said that he did not care whether it was an enemy or a Varron transfer or a Hircine student, but he would offer his aid should somebody be in a direct life threatening situation. As he arrived to the source of the fire, the sprinklers had still failed to put out the fire. Looking around, Kit realized that the source of the fire was a pile of books and several bottles of gasoline as he saw the empty bottles lying near the books.

Wondering who was responsible for the school terrorism, he walked around the perimeter of the fire and made sure nobody was caught in the fire, quickly dashing out through a side exit before he would be spotted by the staff and disciplined accordingly. Pulling off his shirt, he twisted it and the water poured out, stopping with a few drips as Kit pulled it back over his head. He saw Kenji at the exit and waved. "Uh good choice not help, nobody there," Kit said.

[lazy]

((Wow, I don't know what else to say. So I guess I'll end the thread here?!))

Kai narrowed his eyes slightly. He speaks broken English. I just realized that.

Kai nodded. "Well, that's not the real reason I left....." he said, trailing off. "But I'll stick with that one." He gave Kit a small pat on the arm and turned around, walking away. The loudspeaker suddenly sounded, and the vice principal's voice came up.

"In the aftermath of today's fire, all students are hereby dismissed. If you have any information regarding the fire, please come forward. Thank you."

Kai stood there, frozen for a second. The ringing of his phone snapped him into reality, and he resumed walking.

((Sorry. If you can drag this out, be my guest.)) :S
