"I guess I could haul two," I said, "I just didn't want you to drive alone." I had assumed she was going to drive, seeing as how she knew the specifics of where we were going. I wasn't sure at all. Then again, "if I can squeeze my guitar into the back, I can haul you, louis, and Kason." I said, "we'll have to put everyone's luggage in the twins' vehicle." I supposed that Jack could give me directions. It wouldn't be as private as I had hoped, but I could deal with it. I was sure that in whatever we were doing, I could find time to try to win Kason over. "Unless you want to drive, kason, but from the way you talk, your van might not even make the trip!" I joked and flirted at te same time. It wasn't great, and I secretly cursed at myself. I took out a pack of gum and selected a piece, them handed it to Jack.

[ [ ] ]

Kason shrugged at the car plan flying everywhere. She smiled at Howl, when he smiled, not exactly sure what he said, she had been a little preoccupied with the thought of having to do her hair. But it looked like he'd made a joke, so she chuckled. She blinked slightly trying to keep up. "We can take the van." She said. "I can just take who ever's not going in the truck.." Shrugging slightly, she watched `Ginger and Jay walk off. They just needed to get together. Was she the only one who thought it was super obvious they were up shit creek with out a paddle for each other? Hopefully one of them would stop being so shy and do something about it. She didn't want to have to be that guy, get shit for it, and then roll her eyes when they thanked her for it. "You guys can just throw my shit around. I don't have A/C though,, so you'll have to roll the windows down."

[ [ And I start school today,, so sorry if my posts become short and not very frequent. I'll try hard to get on ] ]

(( )) Louis just stayed with his back against the car, watching all the commotion with somewhat of an amused smirk. He honestly didn't mind if he travelled with somebody else or on his own. He did have another seat spare in the front considering all of the gear was in the back seats and the trunk, but he honestly doubted that anybody would want to be seen in Betty or with him in general. He knew how Howl wanted to be alone with Kason, anyway, and he really didn't want to be a bother to anybody else, even if it would save on gas. Louis tended to be one to stay out of large discussions and just go with what he was told to do. Careful to not attract any attention, he raised a hand to his mouth to cover his mouth to, hopefully, hide the soft chuckle and bubbled up in his throat. He couldn't help it if he found the disorganisation funny. He took somewhat of a deep breath before turning around and opening up one of the back doors of his mother's car and sat in the back with his legs hanging out, his back pressed against his luggage.

"Oh misunderstood what you said" Jack nodded taking the pack of gum taking a piece for herself holding it back out for him to take or for him to offer to the others. Sticking it in her mouth, "Whatever I can drive someone can come with me" She said jumping down, everyone else clearly towering over her small frame. "Might be easier anyway, that way I don't have to tell anyone where to go, cause if I'm not in the drivers seat most of you know I tend to check out and not pay attention" Jack looked around crossing her arms, "So, now who's going where?" She looked back up to Howl for a moment, and his slightly bad form of flirting, before scanning the rest of them.

((Boo, Yes, that's correct. :3 Pepper is one of Jay's family's dogs; I'm gonna say they have three including Pepper. Also, I'm gonna wait for and to reply before I post something. :) ))

I shrugged, as long as I was with Kason, I didn't care. "Okay," I said, "kason, do you want to drive? It doesn't matter to me either way." I couldn't ignore her total immersion in how her hair was going to look. I didn't really understand why she tried so hard to straighten her waves out. The way they fell gracefully to her shoulders was possibly the most beautiful thing I could think of. Her straightened hair was still beautiful, but so many times I had wanted to just tell her just how beautiful she really was. The way she wore her brothers's dress shirt was adorable too. I wondered how she would look in one of my flanels. I pictured her waking up next to me in sophies and my flanel, with the sun glowing on her hair and lighting her up to the point where angels were jealous. I took back my pack of gum since no one spoke up about wanting a piece. Secretly I hoped she would let me drive. We could fit her things in the other back seat, and mine seemed to be one of the few cars to actually start that morning.

ooc/ Thanks for the ping but I think I'll pass My favorite kind of music is probably pep band music (I don't really know how else to put it)

Kason shrugged again. "I don't care." She said, dragging out the 'I'. "I think my Ricky's GPS is in the hooptie. But who knows." She shrugged again. "That place is a friggen' black hole." As she felt her phone vibrate, she laid back and pushed her hips up to fish her phone out of her pocket. Ugh. She was going to get stupid calls and texts this whole time. Having four brothers and a teen-ager for a dad was annoying sometimes. "Uhm," She blinked at her phone. What were they talking about? Oh, right. "Uhm, yeah. So, what ever you dudes wanna do." Pushing her phone in her bra, she threw herself forward so she could sit up.

(( I am so confused right now. ._. My postness somehow got pushed back. O.o ))

Jay happily followed Ginger over to his truck; joyfully listening to her lovely voice. He grabbed the only other bag he had and flung it over his shoulder. He grabbed a couple other things, mostly tools, and threw them into the cab of the truck before making sure it was all locked up. He gave a half-happy and half-day-dreamy smile at Ginger when she smiled. "Why thank you. You know we wouldn't have let your family buy a dog when they can just have one. I mean, our families are too close for that." He paused a moment before striking up a thought in his head. "Though, I can understand that when it comes to between our dad's that's all business. Can't quite give things away for free, there." He looked at her, another idea coming to mind. He smiled in a half cocked odd smirking manor before bowing slightly in an awkward way and offering her his arm. "Shall I have this walk back to the others?" He asked, almost teasingly, but flirting mostly.

(( I was wondering if I can join you guys? That is, if it isn't too late. ))

I think you caught is at the right time... Right before we left so if you can get caught up quick you can join c= I don't have a problem with it

(( Great! It says I'm a newbie but my last account got deactivated because I wasn't on for a while, but I'll be on more I promise. I'll get catch up and post as quick as can be. Thanks so much Oh, would you mind messaging me so we can talk? Oh god that sounds creeper like.... I just need help with some coding for my signature and text font and color. ))

((I imagine it's not. You'll have to wait for Jack though.

She laughed as she recalled her dad huffing and puffing over whether or not to take Luca in the first place. "You've got that right. As I recall the only reason he even considered her was because she could foster good strong working dogs." She scoffed playfully. "Though she was the runt of the litter. I guess we have our moms to thank for that one. Without them the poor girl wouldn't have had a chance." Ginger winked as she took Jay's arm. "You always know exactly how to make a girl feel special. Oh geez, now I'm beginning to sound like my sister. Come on, let's go." She hugged his arm as they walked over and rejoined the group. "Well it looks like we just about have it squared away in terms of seats. I think all we need to do is shuffle some gear and we'll be off!" There was a note of excitement in Annabelle's voice as she said this. She had not been out on a camping trip in a very long time and nothing was about to fowl up their plans, not even a little rain. "We still have a little room in the back. Who's bags can I help move?" She glanced at Louis and his little pink car, confident that he would just assume stay home if it meant taking the car with them. "Louis? How about you?"

((: Welcome to the roleplay! We're just getting ready to leave. So if you want to make a character and scurry on over to the school parking lot, we can be off soon.))

((: Oh good, I'm glad. Aren't dogs fun?))

((: I started classes today and so I will not be on nearly as much as over the summer. I will however be on briefly in the morning and again in the evening so I can ensure I don't fall behind.))

Name: Amena Tenshi Gender: Female Age: 18 Physical Description: Amena is 5'5" in height, a long slender body that has an athletic tone to it. Her complexion is very fair. She was most known for her outstandingly Pale silver hair that boarder-lined on a powder blue. Her hair reached to just barely above her bottom. The female had beautiful green hazel eyes. She wore a Black tank-top that showed 1/3rd of her belly and a blank pair of jeans. She had a black pair of boots that had about 2/4ths of an inch heel. Amena also wore a blue over coat to keep her body warm from the slight coldness in the air. She had a small tear-drop belly button piercing. Another thing Amena always wears a moonstone pendant and fingerless black gloves. History: Amena's parents were murdered when she had turned 18 because of a break in gone wrong. Amena wasn't home when it had happened, her parents had sent her to go fetch some milk because they had ran out after dinner. Amena's parents had owned the place and no one even thought to take it from her. She had gotten a job on the internet to be able to pay for the bills, like electricity and things of that nature. It all happened over spring break so for those who know Amena, they would know how she used to be a very nice talkative person til after her parents died, leaving her all alone in the world. Amena has never been the same ever since that night, her eyes even lost the spark of light they once held so fiercely. Music: I like a lot of J-pop and Pewdiepie Dubstep....

Amena had woken up and looked at the clock, 2 hours before she had to show up to where everyone was. Getting up she had taken a shower and gotten dressed in her normal attire. Packing all she could into her little Silver Pontiac, bringing the necessities that they would probably need. She packed in a back-pack filled with blankets and water, a flint for starting fires and things of that nature. She brought a change of clothes, but it was the same thing she wore everyday. She grabbed a pillow and a sleeping bag and returned to the car. She locked her house up tight before she left and placed the keys in the ignition. Amena knowingly started the car and back out of the drive-way of her 2 story, pale blue house. The female was driving in the direction of the school, but found herself ending up in front of the graves where her parents will forever rest. Kneeling down, the girl and placed a hand on her mother's grave and a small tear and fallen from her eyes. The girl had not known the tear had fallen from her face if not for the fact that it landed on her hand. In a confused manner the female lifted her hand and touched her cheek, feeling the new wetness of a tear. "Crying..." Was the only word she spoke before standing up and bowing her head slightly at the graves, turning on her right heel she left the grave and sat in her car. Hesitantly she started the car and drove to the school. Looking at the time she realized she was late. When she pulled up she could see Jack and all the others in the Parking lot. She parked her car right next to Jack's and got out, wondering what they were all doing. As she shared glances from the cars, she could see it appeared they were getting ready to leave. The girl then cleared her throat, hoping it was loud enough for everyone to hear. She didn't quite know if anyone had noticed her car pull up or anything, but she still wanted to make her presence known to those around her. ((I am sorry if it's long. D: ))

I was helping Kason ge her luggage into the other back seat of the bronco when Amena showed up. I had only seen her once since her parents funeral. She was in Wal Mart, and I had come up and hugged her, but her embracfe didn't hold the same fire it always had. I felt so bad and had exchanged awkward farewells, then left. Seeing her again, I have to say she didn't look any better, but I decided to try a posotive approach. I gave her a smile when she made her presence known. I didn't know really how to handle the situation, so I made myself seem busy. I turned to kason, "what else do you need outta here?"I asked. [Sorry its short guys, I'm out of my groove right now >.<

(( ))

Needless to say, Louis stopped paying attention, his mind wandering off somewhere else but not too far, thankfully. He glanced around the group and gave a short wave to Amena before turning his attention to Annabelle, blue eyes meeting the bright orange of her's for a moment before he averted his gaze to somewhere over his shoulder. "Hm? Sorry, could you repeat the question? I didn't quite catch it." He gave a soft chuckle, feeling more awkward than anything at the moment. Slowly, he stood up from his place in the back of that pink Ka and leaned against the open door. He really just stopped caring about the car after a while. Yes, it was pink and he was embarrassed to be seen in it but it ran fine. Even if he did end up travelling with somebody else, to him it'd be like travelling alone as he always ended up just daydreaming about this and that and pretty much whatever game to mind. So, he wasn't really good company unless he was kept in a discussion with no chance of dropping out half way through. Basically, he didn't mind at all if Betty came with them or not. He just refused to let something as trivial as a pink car ruin his fun.

Jay nodded, listening intently to Ginger. He glanced over to see Amena. He tried to keep a smile, but seeing her just made him so sad.

He hadn't known her all too well, but having been thinking about her situation once in the school library, he had thought about what he'd have done if the same thing had happened to him and not her. Shortly after this thought he had realized how late he was to his next class and that Ginger, or even Annabelle, might be starting to get worried. He had jogged into the hall way to find the poor girl being assaulted by a couple dumb cheerleaders who hadn't believed the story was even true. He had ended up practically yelling at one cheerleader, and almost raised his hand against the other. Luckily for him they ran off before he had realized what he had been doing. And with just one glance to Amena, he too ran off, embarrassed and a little angry about what he had almost done. He turned back to reality and gave his full attention to Ginger and transferring his bags over to Annabelle's truck. He half wondered if the silver-haired girl had remembered his subconscious act of modern day heroism. He carefully set the bag he had been carrying into the bed of the twin's truck before taking the one that Ginger had grabbed and doing the same. He leaned up against the truck before he had remembered that he had told Ginger about that day, and then wondered if she even remembered. It was after school he had told her, and he had ended up shedding a few tears. He remembered Ginger had punched his shoulder and had said something, but he didn't quite remember. All he knew was that it had made him feel better about the whole thing. That had been the only time he's cried in front of the girl he likes, and he wasn't about to let it happen again!

((Sorry if it's long, and , I hope my 'flash back' thing was okay. I've had experience with that kind of stuff while in high school. Which brings me to my next statement.. Am I the only one, not starting any kind of school soon?))

"Ameeeena!" Kason smiled as she looked over. "Darling baby angel face, how are you?" She went to hug her, admiring how her hair always stayed straight despite the weather.. "Did they bottle your hair color yet? Because I still want it." Chuckling, she looked back at Howl. "Ah, I don't know. I have to look in the hooptie. I'm hoping my brothers left something interesting in there that we could take with us. And I did a little grocery shopping. Do we need more food, 'cause I have chips and cups and cereal and salsa and stuff." She took Amena's hand and pulled her to stand with the rest of the group.

I chuckled at Kason's little ramble about food, and secretly swooned inside when she greeted Amena. It was the most adorable thing ever, just like almost everything she did. "Um sure, just get as much as you can fit in the Bronco." I told her, gesturing to the van. [Again, sorry for the shortness >.< ill do better when this picks up a bit.]
