It was just past 6am and Ebony stood in front of her now-empty locker, thinking. At her feet were stacked up all her books, paper, stationary and gymnastics gear, all piled up neatly into categories. She began placing them in her locker - her textbooks and exercise books alphabetically by subject, her paper by size all into one folder and her gym clothes which she planned to resort into colours and size. She wondered mentally why so much of her clothing was too big and regretted not buying an extra tracksuit the last time she was back at her aunt and uncle's house. She could do with one that actually fitted...
Still, she was vaguely satisfied about ten minutes later when her locker contents were all back in place, clean and presentable to the onlooker as well as organised so that everything was easy to find. Under her breath the snatches of a song would have been heard to anyone walking along the corridor at the time - it was almost silent apart from the noise made by her movements. Finished with her tidying she wondered what she could do to pass the time between now, when breakfast was served, and classes which didn't start for another few hours.
Pale arms folded across her thick black jumper, her eyes roved the bright blue locker doors that covered the corridor walls and she sighed, shivering slightly even though under her sweater were another three long-sleeved tops, under her jeans were a pair of thick stockings and a warm scarf was wrapped snugly about her throat.

[hehe sorry Naruto, but I'm grabbing this one.]
Aria raced through the trees, dodging wherever she could. She had winded around most of them, and jumped over a few down logs. Stopping abruptly, she cursed silently. Jumping forward, her big paws caught the ground and hurried her along, her long whiskers keeping her aware of when she should turn, and when to go straight. Reaching campus, she quickly lurched forward, and began running on her normal humanistic two legs.
She skidded inside the school, glancing up at the clock. 6:15 am. She had just made it. Another few minutes and the jaitors would be up. And the only one that let her outside was coming back from a vacation tomorrow. She had to be extra careful now.
Jogging down the hallway, she glanced behind her, but nothing was there. Speeding up a bit, she sniffed. Dang cold... she thought. And going outside only makes it worse. But how else am I supposed to get exercise? They won't let me shift inside. Huffing, she snapped back hearing a foot move around. She turned around, and ended colliding with something in front of her. Looking quickly, she was relieved when she realized it was only a student. "Sorry.... I don't see much of where I'm going..." she apologized, starting to pick herself up. Her dark hair, which matched her dark eyes fell in front of her face as she stood.

Unsure of the bext possible passtime until class started, Ebony shoved her hands into her pockets after closing her locker door. Heading down towards the end of the corridor, where it lead to outside, she was soon surprised to find someone running into her, winding her. She staggered and manage to remain upright only because of the hard stone wall behind her, trying to breathe without a lot of success.
Lately she had been getting very knocked around by even the simplest of things. Even walking up stairs was becoming a chore now and she hated feeling so weak all the time. 'Sorry.... I don't see much of where I'm going...' The voice came from the person who had pelted helter-skelter into her from out of nowhere. A tiny shadow of a smile crossed her features as she replied. 'It's OK, Aria. I'm hoping you didn't intentionally half-kill me.' Crap, she though. I just named her. Ebony's strange voices in her head evidently included the girl standing before her, brushing her hair out of her eyes.
'I'm Ebony. Ebony Towns of eighth grade. Pleasure to meet you,' she added, always overly polite upon meeting strangers as her green eyes took in every detail of Aria's appearance. It would most likely stay firmly imprinted in her memory forever, if it was still as photographic as it always had been.

Aria smiled. Either she's ran into Adriane, or she's physchic, Aria concluded. "Nice to meet you Ebony." she replied, her lips pulling up in a rare smile. It wasn't that she was angry, she just wasn't happy most of the time. Brushing the black hair from her face, she finished standing. Her eyes, which were dark and practically black, were outlined in black eyeliner.
Brushing herself off, she realized she probably looked pretty... weird at the moment. She usually didn't mind looking weird, but when she was almost alone, it got to her. Like right now. She was clad in a pair of ripped skinny jeans, which had not been designed with rips. Oh no, she had done that on accident. Her shoulders were covered with a purple tank top, which had it's own ordeals of rips.
"And no, I wasn't trying to kill you.I just didn't realize anyone was here until it was too late and- BAM! I ran into you..." She smiled sheepishly.

'Well, it's quite early don't you think? Only a minute or so after quarter past six and yet we're both up and about - have you been out running or something? You're better than me if you have!'
Ebony wondered why she always spoke about herself as if she never exercised. Quite the opposite from lazy, she did an average 30 hours per week of training when she was in top form, she always put it across to any friends or accquaintances that she barely got off her butt at all.
Although I'm sure they know I'm lying, she thought. After all, the doctors and crap she always had to deal with told her she was 'severely underweight blahblahblah'. Mentally she rolled her eyes but kept a polite smile on her face.
She compared her attire with Aria's - only a tank top on the other girl's otherwise bare shoulders - while she herself had enough layers to sink a small boat.
'Aren't you cold? I'm absolutely freezing and I've much more on than you!'

"Yeah, just... running. Like to get a head start!" she said, covering it up. Reaching up, she pulled her glossy hair into a ponytail, with a black band that blended right in. The hallway slightly echoed their voices, because they were so empty. Shrugging, she shook her head out a little, the ponytail bobbing up and down.
"Not really... I always seem to be nice and warm..." she replied. Yeah, because I can turn into a nice furry tiger... she commented in her head.
"So.. what are you doing up so early? Just... curiosity..."

Ebony hoped Aria wasn't the overly-observational type, as her narrow chest sought air; she was still breathing hard after being run into. Still, at least she didn't feel dizzy...well not too dizzy. Casually she pushed her hands deeper into her oversized pockets as the girl before her described why she wasn't cold.
'...because I can turn into a nice furry tiger...'
Ebony only heard the vague thought quietly but it was there nonetheless. Smiling, amused, she nodded her head to Aria's excuse, describing the fact she'd been 'running'. She blinked in slight surprise to Aria's next question - nobody had every really asked her, nor had she ever said the real truth out aloud, save to herself. So she made something up, as usual.
'Me? I'm always up early. Just a body-clock thing - I can't sleep past 5.30. It can get annoying actually - even if I'm in bed at midnight I still wake up early!' She shivered again as a gust of wind roused the corridor in an early morning greeting.

"Ahh, I can see how that could get annoying..." Aria trailed off, leaving it at that. Her eyes were still resting on the girl, but the corners seemed to dodge around, picking up every detail she could see without moving. Since she was still, and thinking, her animal instincts told her what was behind her, and to her sides.
"So... when did you come here Ebony?" Aria's voice wasn't quite loud, but it was audible to human ears. It was all of her friends that had the loud, silly voices. She was the more serious one, quieter than the rest.
Blowing some of her bangs, which were to short to stay in the hold of the ponytail, out of her face, she sighed.

Ebony's lips twitched up in a small smile at Aria's question. 'I've been here since fifth grade - how about you?'
Shivering once again in the cold wind she felt through the corridor she crossed her arms tighter across her body. Subconsciously she began singing under her breath the song that had been on her lips only a few moments earlier, her lilting light voice carrying in the relatively silent corridor.
[[sorry it's really short - I am out of creative juices!]]

I woke up and did a scan, I found that Ebony and Aria were the only people awake so I changed and teleported to where they were talking, I rub my eyes, "Hey guys, what did I miss?"

Aria jumped slightly. She knew she would never get used to that. "Jeez. Could you like, walk here next time please?" she asked Sander, rubbing her arm to warm it. Blowing her hair from her face, she realized a few more strands of hair had fallen out of place, but the ponytail still held most of it.
Looking from Ebony to Sander, she realized they had met before. Wincing, she also realized she was yet to answer Ebony's question. "Oh, I came here a year or so ago. Not very long, but i got that hang of things pretty quickly." [dead.]

(dead?) "Actually, I can't, it's much funner this way." I see Aria rubbing her arms, "Are you cold? You want me to make a fire?"

[like, braindead. can't think anymore. writer's block. it happens often with me =] ]
"Huh?" she asked, coming back. She often zoned out, or wasn't paying attention. Sadly, this meant she usually didn't do so well in class, but she doubted she would grow up and need to know something like what she was taught for a job. Actually, she dobted anyone would ever giver her a job in the normal world.
She could always just shift back into an animal and live like that, it hadn't been so bad. In fact, she might have been treated better as an animal than human. Yes, that's what she would do. Turn tiger and go live in Africa, or maybe try a horse, that had been nice. Even if people sat on you all day. Of course, a tabby cat would be cool...
Coming back once again she replied, "Oh no, it's fine. I'm good and warm. Just an old habit to rub my arm, that's all."
