10, 23, 2007-

She practically purred like a kitten whose chin was being scratched. Her friends were all watching quietly, the response from her wasn’t at all what they thought would happen right away but they weren’t surprised when it did. She smiled once she got her small pale hands around what seemed to be a small rectangular pink box; it was a type of candy also known as “Pokey”. She gently rubbed the box against her cheek; eye’s closed as if in ecstasy; her smile was slow, she didn’t seem to notice all her friends snickering quietly.

“Geez Vei, you really need to lay off those things. I swear Pokey is like some kind of drug for you” A boy spoke out, He had long brunette wavy hair, and skin like cream, eyes so green, they would leave you to question on whether or not they were real, he was often the calm and out going one of the group. He sat directly in front of her so he could see whether or not she was paying any attention.

“Nani?” She murmured distantly, her eye’s were still closed and she was gently rubbing the top of the box with the tips of her fingers, grazing it just enough to slice through the plastic with her long nails, which seemed to look more like claws. She slipped a silver bag with pink dots out of the box, the bag that held the real prize, at that moment her friends weren’t even there; her world revolved around that bag of candy.

Vei only stopped for a second, her eye lids sliding open just enough to see her friends but still seemed like they were closed, she stared at them with ice blue eyes when just a second ago, they were gray.

“I’m sorry Sierce, but I can’t help my reaction towards Pokey, I mean how could you live without these things!?” She replied to him, her attention now fully on the bag of treats.

Another boy sitting directly on her left, his features were incredibly soft in appearance and people would assume by just seeing him that he appeared a bit younger then what he really was. Most people would often think him to be the wild one of the group, but he is surprisingly outgoing and would often keep the group together.

His hair was a very dark brown, to the point where it looked black, while the front was straight; the back was tucked into a small spiky pony tail, lifting just above his neck. His eye’s seemed hazel but when looked at directly, specks of green littered around his pupils, his skin was pale but not as pale as Vei's, he seemed more of a milky white then marble.

“Vei allot of people like pokey but you, you act as if you can’t live without it once you get a box, or haven't had one in a day, it's kind of " He paused for a second as if looking for a word that would suit her well "Amusing but at the same time cute" He finished in a voice that would make a girl smile or blush but didn't seem to have any affect on her. He watched her gently pet the bag, as though it was the most precious thing in that class or better yet world.

"Oh hush Yoru, you love Pokey just as much as I do, don't say stuff like that. I'm not the only one who has a fetish for Pokey; I'll remember that later, you'll soon regret speaking that sentence." Yoru's lip twitched at that, he turned to look at another boy sitting in front of him. Yoru was arching one glossy brow in question as if asking for some assistance. The boy's answer was a tilt of his head and a slight shrug of broad shoulders

"Thanks so much Greg, your to into your own dark twisted world to help one of your fellow peeps out" Yoru retorted; he leaned fully into his chair, acting as though he were right at home, when in truth they were in class with four desk pushed up against each other in order for all of them to sit together.

Where Yoru was soft and young; Gregory was quiet and unpredictable. Gregory had long black hair, but anyone could tell it wasn't his natural color. from the root you could see dirty blonde fading into jet black, his eye's were hard to tell if they were blue or not though unlike Vei, his eye's would often stay blue, but people would now and then say it would turn into a light soft mix between blue and green, and his skin was a sandy sort of tan. Most of the time he is really quiet, but with his friends or at least people he holds close to him, it's sort of hard to keep him quiet, he upholds the bad boy image well, but in truth he is quite smart.

Vei turned her attention back to the bag; she had finally gotten it open. While pulling out one of the pink coated cookie sticks out, her eye’s strayed off to a figure that seemed very familiar to her.

A man with skin almost the same tan as Gregory, and hair of liquid fire that flowed off his back like water and stopped just past his hip, and streaks of black that would blend together with each strand of his hair, she pursed her lips in question as she thought to herself – I wonder where he got that color dye for his hair, and how in hell did he make it resemble that of a orange bangle tiger’s coat-

She couldn’t quiet see his face seeing as how his back was to her, she didn’t mind though, she had a clear site of how nice of a behind that was. –Very nice indeed- she thought once more, the Pokey she had in her hand now poked half way out of her mouth.

Although her attention was on the man, she slapped Sierce’s hand when it was slowly sliding across the table and towards the bag of Pokey. “I’ll bite your hand off, anyone’s hand off for that matter if you try to touch my Pokey again.” She finished Sierce’s hand vanished. While Vei seemed to be off in her own world watching the stranger, all the while slipping one of the sticks of cookie’s into her mouth to nibble on, her friends watched in amusement.

“Gosh Vei you really should just pounce already, I mean you watch him like he’s food, and you don’t even know the guy’ Yoru spoke out, his smile was slow as he kept going “ Oh my gosh, our little Vei is actually attracted to someone, though he’s a complete stranger and seems very weird with that color hair” He paused once more and chuckled “We shouldn’t be surprised though, I mean anything Vei’s attracted to is pretty much weird” He finished, ducking just as Vei flung the empty box of Pokey at him, she scrunched her nose at him after he got back up.

“Shut up Yoru” She stopped and tilted her head as she looked at him “Doesn’t that include you, huh mister strange?”

She turned to look at the stranger once more, hearing the chuckles of both Gregory and Sierce, but when she looked, the stranger was gone, as if he vanished, she pursed her lips in question, then turned when the teacher walked into the sighed and class was to start in about she paused and looked at her watch, ten minutes so the others should get to their seats.

Vei turned to tell the others stopping only to see Gregory, Sierce, and Yoru all moving their desk back to the way it was. Vei smiled, while tucking the bag of strawberry treats in her black bag, for some reason the teacher saw fit to harass her and her friends, no matter the reason it could be for the smallest thing, shaking her head in denial, the man must have been a figment of her imagination, she turned to scan the room, after confirming he wasn't there, she turned back to the others, making sure each one moved their Desk back to the waythey should be.

"Come on guys, Sierce, you know you don't have to move, well just a little the desk don't need to be that close, but Yoru and Greg, scram hurry up, use those muscles you have on that body of yours" She grumbled to them.

While doing all that, she didn't seem to notice the pair of hazel/gold eye's silently watching her from across the room, she didn't notice him only becuase the man in question, changed his hole apearence, no one should be able to see through it.
