quite possibly... My classes start on Monday but I have enough down time i'll be normal just moving into my apartment this week

"Ah Amena" Jack smiled looking over seeing the other girl "Wasn't sure if you were coming, I'm glad to see you" She smiled warmly. Looking back at the group, "So we now have three, as long as you two would be comfortable I mean it's not a cramped ride but I can drive then if you guys don't mind" She offered Louis and Amena. "There is enough room in the bed back here for your things and anything else that doesn't fit in someone else's mode of transportation. And I for some reason didn't think of a grouped shopping trip" she nodded "We might need to do that quickly"

I like how I forget my own hastag... I'll blame it on posting from my iPod... yea sounds legit cx

(("Don't blame the game, blame the player." ))

Amena had first noticed Howl as he gave what appeared to be a smile. The girl polietly nodded in his direction, acknowledging that he had done a friendly gesture. She knew their relationship was a bit awkward since the last time they had seen each other. It was back in Wal-Mart when the girl had to go buy some groceries. Howl had given Amena a hug, but when she hugged him back it was more of a weak one, for she was still feeling the shock from her parent's death.

When Amena had switched her gaze, a movement caught her eye aS Louis had waved after noticing her. As she lifted her hand a bit to wave back, she gave a gentle smile to him. Shrugging her shoulders as she realized Louis was still his day dreamy self. Things never change, She thought to herself, at least, not with him.

When the young adult had looked away, the person who caught her eyes was her old friend Jay. Amena could tell that even though he was trying to keep a smile, the feelings behind it were more sad than happy. The best memory she had of him, that kept her smile warm as she remembered it, even to this day, was the fact that he had came to her rescue. She was sitting on the ground, tears streaming down her face as some cheerleaders were hitting her, and kicking her along with the verbal abuse they were spatting at her. They kept calling her a liar for saying her parents were murdered by the people who broke in. They were accusing her of killing her own beloved parents. Tears were over-flowing, mixed with the copper color of her blood. One of the kicks had broken some skin and caused her to start to bleed a bit. The next thing Amena knew, here comes Jay, a boy she barely knew at the time, screaming at the cheerleaders to get lost and go throw up in a toilet because they weren't skinny enough, or how they should put some clothes on because they would even make their prostitue mother's call them sluts. Then, he started lecturing them about how terrible they were. She noticed Jay's had and shot up, like he was going to hit one, but to her surprize the cheerleaders gave up and ran off. Amena was about to get up, but Jay had ran off before she had a chance to thank him for saving her. The young female was also, to this day, still trying to get up the courage to thank him. As she was about to walk towards him, a familiar voice had reached her ears.

"Ameeeena!" Hearing her name spoken in such fashion made her swing her head in the direction of the voice. Noticing it was Kason, she realized how pathetic it would be to try and stay her usual quiet self. "Darling baby angel face, how are you?" Kasen said as she leaned in to hug Amena. Amena had allowed the embrace and hugged her back, a bit tightly a lot like her old self. "Good." She spoke in a sort ubrupt, but most would know she truely meant it, even if it wasn't very obvious. "Did they bottle your hair color yet? Because I still want it." Hearing Amena's kind friend chuckle, brought a bit of a smile to her face. "No." Amena said, the shrugging of her shoulders in a particular manner would show how she was sorry that it wasn't bottled yet. "You know.. Only I can pull off my hair color." And even though it was spoken mono-tone, her close friend Kasen would know the feeling behind the voice. Amena then watched as she spoke to Howl, though it may be oblivious to Kasen, Amena knew that from how Howl acted, he had feelings towards Kasen. Same old Howl.. She thought to herself.

"Ah Amena." Turning her head quickly, Jack had came into sight and was speaking to her. "Wasn't sure if you were coming, I'm glad to ese you." Jack said, smiling warmly at Amena. Not really knowing what to say, she only nodded slightly happily at Jack. "Yes. Good." She said, hoping Jack would understand that Amena was saying it was good to see her too, but knowing Jack, Amena was positive the other female knew what she was talking about. Listening to Jack talk about room being in her car, Amena assumed she had just come in time because everyone was about ready to leave. "Only Backpack." She said, meaning she only had a backpack. "No minding." She said, meaning she didn't mind the fact that Jack would drive. Amena then walking back to her car, grabbing the camping backpack she had. It Contained her Sleeping back, a change of clothes, and her toiletries plus her flint and a knife. Not much, but the neccesities for camping to help survive. Amena spoke again before becoming silent, speaking loud enough for Louis to hear her. "Shotgun." She then stood next to the passenger seat of Jack's big rig, one of her foundest memories was sitting in the Truck with Jack, taking off for lunch during lunch hour, and showing up late beacuse they were ditching barely. Oh, good memories. She thought, gently tapping the side of the truck, not in a hurry up manner, but more like a gentle touch, as one would give to something that held value. (( I hope that small memory wasn't a bad thing. If it is, I can edit it out. I hope you don't mind I added a bit more detail into it. Also, I hope this post isn't too long.. I like detailing things.... ))

no problem at all the only thing is it's it's a small truck and it's not her's it's her brothers c= Jack would have had a Jeep for the memory

(( Let's pretend that it says Jeep not truck. ))

[ [ )): ] ]

Kason nodded. "Kay beans." She listened to Amena talk to the others and sighed. She'd never emotionally been there for her, seeing as she didn't really have feelings herself. She very much had the attitude of a guy. Don't show your feelings. Push 'em down until you beat the shit out of someone. She had tried to keep her mind off things by talking with her, and trying to take her out places, but she was never sure it worked.. Crawling into the back of her van and started throwing things around, moving on her hands and knees, hoping that her brother left a handle some where under her collection of shit. "I'll, uh, I think the groceries are in the front seat, so I'll get those in a minute.."

(( Sorry, I've been so busy lately. But, I'm also kinda waiting on Boo. >.>' ))

[Yeah me too. Boo, where the hell are you?? Lol]

Annabelle threw a glance at Ginger, who returned the glance in-kind. They had both forgotten that Amena would be joining them. The twins had seen very little of the girl in truth, not since they discovered her parent's had been murdered, and then it was only in passing. Annabelle, the one who usually knew everything about about everybody as soon as it happened, was at a loss while her sister only just had the advantage. Jay had told Ginger, rather emotionally, about the exchange with some cheerleaders, which only proved that something much worse than a poor choice of clothing or the style of Amena's hair was the cause of her torment.

((I'm sorry to keep you guys waiting. Please forgive me! :( First week back in class and I've been devoting a great deal of my time to my Japanese (which is coming along nicely).))

While the others were struggling to deal with amena's presence, I had been situating my truck. Everything was in place, and there was roon to put food so we could reach it if we wanted to munch while on the trip. From the way Jack talked, it was going to be a long trip. I also had made sure all of my camping stuff was there. Knife, tent, three zippos, blanket, blow-up matress, and hookkah. It was all there. I checked to make sure my sheesha wasn't squashed in the bag, which it wasn't, and with a final sigh of relief that everything was in order, I pushed the seat back into place and shut the door. "Well, jack," I announced, "every one is situated here. Are we ready to go?" Jack and I went way back. We played together at recess in kindergarten. We were inseperable, the best of friends. She had been the first to support my music and take it seriously. She was there for me whenever a girl broke up with me, or I them. She was there when I saw Kason with some boy during junior year. I owed jack a lot for being my friend through the years, a debt I usually paid by teasing and flirting and playing pranks. Still this trip was a surprize, even to me. The bigger surprise was that every one came, but I was ready to get going. I was getting anxious and antzy like I always did when I wanted things to move along.

[you said go for it lol. I hope that boy thing is cool. Play it how you want shrug]

Jay gave a quiet sigh and stretched a bit, standing up from leaning against Annabelle's truck. This caused the white shirt underneath the unbuttoned red flannel to come untucked slightly. He struggled, rather awkwardly, to shove the shirt back into his pants. After he was situated he took as small a step as he could get away with, as not to be noticed, towards Ginger. "I'm ready to go, if the rest of us are, Jack." He spoke up after Howl. "Who will Amena ride with?" He questioned, a little more quietly then he had hopped for.

"Yea, let's get going" Jack nodded a little "Louis, Amena yinz can toss your bags in the back, someone has to sit in the middle there's enough room though no worries about being squished" She said pulling the keys from her back pocket. "Just follow me" She said to the rest as she walked around the opposite side of the truck to get in the drivers seat. Something started to bother her, she rested her hands on the steering wheel sort of quietly staring at it waiting on the others to finish getting their things together. Each window was rolled down, she could still hear everything that was going on outside around her.

It works c= I'd follow anywhere you'd roll... I'd follow any one really no need to fully ask my permission

Kason squealed slightly as she dug under one of the seats. "aha!" She laughed. Making a path so she could crawl put, she held up the handle of vodka. "You guys drink?" She asked them, shaking the bottle as she clambered out. She looked at everyone as they started moving again. "We leaving now?" She pushed loose strands of her hair back from her face , still barefoot as she stood on the pavement.

[ [ . We should wait for .. We're getting pretty ahead of him.. ] ]

(( I agree. nod ))

[agreed. i actually kinda forgot about him lol >.<]

((Sorry for late-ness guys. I've been pretty busy but I'm done with that now so I'll be able to post more frequently. ^^'))

Louis pretty much stayed put in the back of his mother's car, day-dreaming or checking his phone every now and again before his name was called. He slowly slipped his phone back into his pocket before slinging his backpack over his shoulder and grabbing his duffel bag. He knocked the the door shut with his hip and, using his free hand, he grabbed the keys from his pocket and locked the door. He glared at the pink monstrosity before placing the keys back into his pocket and pulling out his phone to tell his mother that he'd be leaving Betty in the car park whilst he was away. After he was done, he made his way over to Jack. The walk to her truck wasn't far but, still, a few stray strands of hair managed to flop over and onto his forehead but nothing he couldn't fix. Stupid hair. "So, where do I throw these again?"

Ginger nodded in agreement. "Alright, then lets load up." She gently brushed the back of her hand across Jay' arm to indicate she wanted him to follow and then walked around the truck to the front passenger's seat. She reached inside the open window and popped the locks, which gave a soft but forceful 'click' as they unlocked. "Luca! Come girl, come! Let's go!" Annabelle called as she jogged around the back of the truck and pulled open the back door across from Jay. Luca ran through the group and barked happily as she sprang into the backseat and almost burst through the open window where Jay was standing. "Luca! Sit! Sit girl!" Annabelle snapped. "Give Jay some room to get in you silly girl." Luca tossed her head whined as she scrambled across the backseat and nuzzled Annabelle's arm. "Yes, good girl. Now stay put, at least until Jay gets situated. Yes?" She smiled as Luca plopped down on the seat and wagged her tail, looking between Jay and herself intently. "That's my girl." Annabelle shut the door, careful to avoid closing it on her tail and then walked over to the driver's side. "Go ahead Jay, hop in. Just shoulder Luca over if she get's too friendly." She gave a small laugh as she pulled herself into the driver's seat and fished her keys out of the cup-holder. Ginger pulled the seat-belt over her lap and waved out of the window to let Jack know they were ready, then reached back to pet Luca. Only the dog had already made herself quite at home on Jay's lap. "Oh, sorry Jay." Ginger laughed as she pulled her hand away from his knee and ruffled Luca's ears.

(( , I'll post later today, if that's okay with everyone. D: ))

((No problem . :)))

"Kason, you read my mind." I told her, "when we get there, we'll tear into that!" I said as I climbed into the driver seat of my truck. I guestured for her to get in, "bring your groceries." I said. For once I could watch her, and not be suspicious, but I didn't. I was afraid. I turned the key, and the bronco roared to life. Placing my java monster in my cup holder that was wedged in between the seats, I hoped kason didn't mind hardcore music. I plugged my phone into the stereo and put on my playlist including We Came As Romans and The Word Alive. The first song was "Hounds of Anubis" i t was normal for me, but I suspected the twins were frowning at this point, although I also realized they might actually be used to it by now. I gave Louis a wink as he appeared from his mom's... vehicle. It was all I could do not to make fun.

As she heard Jack tell her to get in, Amena grabbed her bag, throwing it into the bed of the truck and jumped into the middle seat. "Sorry. I'm smallest." She said, that being the longest sentence she has said in a few days. She buckled up and waited for Louis to join in next to her. She enjoyed being in the middle seat. Looking over she gesture for Louis to join her and jack. Looking over at Jack, Amena gave a warm smile. "This...fun." She said, meaning this is will be really fun. ((So short. D: But I'm sick and have been sowing all day. Forgive me all! D: ))
