and i'm so unique
(an overachieving theatre geek)

(and everywhere)
so don't blink
(you might miss me)

Emi Fumiko
"She's very pretty. We met in the hall, I remember! She gave me chocolate, and that's how it started. I wanna be friends. Heehee. She doesn't think I'm a freshman! But I can't look old! Nooo!"
i should tell you | fair-weather
"So Emi Fumiko is a freshman? Could've fooled me. Sure, she's small, but she looks older than that. I would've thought she was at least a junior. Anyway, Emi's an interesting person. We met in the hallway--I had some chocolate, I offered some, we got to talking. She really does panic at everything--while were were talking, someone slammed a door, and Emi sort of freaked out. But she's a pretty cool person. She sort of reminds me of a doll. But, still--a freshman? Are you kidding?"

Fallon Ramsey
"You could say it was a classic meeting. You don't become friends with someone because you say them ram into a door everyday. And just because of that, I don't know what I would do with out Scout around sometimes (someties just to bug her about that faitful day...ha!). She's a preety cool gal so, mess with her and I'll deal with you at three o'clock.... got that? GOOD! It's only been about two years since I met her but that's all the time I need to know her to handle punks who mess with her. And being in the same clique helps us in the friend department."
happy new year | good
another day | protector [both ways]
"I met Fallon under some odd circumstances--I damn near broke my nose running into a door that I hadn't noticed was open, because I was looking into things at home. This was Fallon's freshman year, and anyway, she was right there when it happened. She still likes to bug me about that, but it was a good enough moment if I met one of my good friends out of it. She likes to threaten people who would mess with me and I like to be less quiet about the fact that I'll tear into anyone who comes near her. So anyway, we're pretty good friends."

Delilah Summers
"Scout isn't my favorite of accquaintences. She's not half-bad though. I don't spend a lot of time around the girl, seeing as she doesn't compare to some of the other people I surround myself with. Instead, if she's there, then she's just there. It's not anything to get celabratory over. Scout is an attractive, wealthy actress. My parents would be proud of me if they knew she was in my accquaintence. My mother, especially, would approve of our associating. However, Scout doesn't really belong to my 'group'. She's odd and quite irritating; not to mention, she has no sense of style. No, Scout isn't really a friend of mine. She's just someone I know, who I might talk to if I lack any other company. So, you wouldn't exactly call us close or anything."
we're okay | acquaintance
don't waste my time | annoyance
"Strange, but I get the feeling that Delilah only gives me any mind because I'm wealthy. And why not--she's a Royal, so that's probably the only thing she sees in me of any worth. She finds me annoying and odd, and I find her cold, snobby and a right... well, I won't say anything more. Let's just say that people like Delilah annoy me, so the feeling is mutual."


Philippa Roxburghe
"Sebi? Didn't recognize her! Right. Well I knew her when I was younger and since we used to know each other that gave us stuff to laugh over, talk about... you know. But we really don't have all that much in common anymore, especially as we come from different cliques, ya know? So, I guess we're pretty good friends I mean we get along, she doesn't annoy me and she's nice. Yah, um that's pretty much it."
happy new year | good
c'est la vie | childhood friends
light my candle | crush [on Pippa]
" 'Pippa Roxburghe? Is that you?' Was the first thing I said when I saw her at Aura. We'd known each other a long time ago, when we were both just small children, five or six. We hadn't seen each other in so long, though, that I hadn't seen how she'd grown up. Let me just say: WOW. We got to be friends again, reminiscing over our time together as kids. And don't tell Pippa--I'd die if you did, no one knows this--but I've had crush on her since the beginning of our junior year."


Phoebe Stavros
"I'll tell you exactly what I think of scout but only because I'm breaking the fourth. First off, what kind of name is Scout? Rymes with trout...which is fitting because she sure is fishy. I dislike Scout to put it simply. No, she did nothing to me physically and no she isn't a backstabbing friend. It just started with her being annoying. I really don't care if she is bisexual or if she is a unique, those are differences that I can handle. What annoys me is that she is so odd and that she is a perfectionist. So what set me off? Near the end of our Freshman year we were paired for this activity in out abilities class. The teacher thought that it would be good because we had the same magic, were in the same grade, and had the same class. We quickly had a disagreement though. She was so unbearable as a partner, such a perfectionist and soon her voice got annoying. Some of the things she did was so off that I'd swear that there wasn't more of a wierdo. We got a C on the project because she messed it up trying to perfect what wasn't broken. I just try to avoid her but now it seems to be getting worse."

"That little... ugh. I don't think I know anyone else that annoys me more than Phoebe Stavros. Apparently I'm odd and a perfectionist. Here's how it goes: we were doing a project together. Little Miss Stavros goes and screws it up. I try to fix it, but I'll admit - it made things a little bit worse - and we end up getting a C. It's really no skin off my back; I brought my grade up with extra credit. Apparently Phoebe didn't, because she still harbors a grudge. I'd like to tell her exactly where she can take all of her ilk, but I've got better things to do than associate with someone like her."

Zephyriah Beccaria
"Scout's awesome. She reminds me a lot like my little brother, which I suppose would be a very good thing, if he didn't annoy me all the time. Either way, she's in theatre with me as an actress, and she's also got the same (or roughly the same) power as I do, so I often end up giving her advice on certain things. But besides that kind of relationship, we're fairly close, I suppose. Neither of us hang out with the same people, but I have a good record with people like her, as I'm a bit of an art nerd myself."

another day | protector [Zephyriah on Scout]
"Ah... Adelphie. Well, we're alright friends; I suppose you could call us close, even. She's given me some advice, in the past, on my power, which I sometimes needed and sometimes didn't. We like to party together, and even though we're in different cliques and different grades, we still manage to get along."
