Arbor Mist Dining Hall

---

Selena walked lesuirly across the marble floor and took a seat at the head's table reserved for the teachers. Her gaze followed several of the students who walked along, trying to find and locate people they had met before that day. Some had made friends and some were still loners, but at least this was one of the times Selena found that they would all be together during the day. Most had found presentable clothing, others ignoring it entirely. She frowned slightly, but let it as they would be taken out and shopped for more suitable clothing during dinner. It was the one time that they would look presentable, at least in her eye. During school hours, they could dress as they wanted, as long as the majority of skin was covered. She chuckled to herself as she watched a pair of youngesters run after each other to a table across from hers.

Grace laughed as she tugged Alex into the Grand Hall, only pausing for a moment to awe at the hall and its beauty.

Meldoy smiled and took Damion's hand, taking up with her so they were walking with Grace and Alex. Meldoy and Grace both let go of Alex and Damion, and instead held each other's arms, smiling secretly with each other. But they looked to their friends, not leaving them out, but the smile stayed inbetween the two twins.

They spotted a table next to a window, revealing the waterfall outside of the school, and walked over to it with their friends, to take a seat.

Scott sat in one far corner with his sister Lindsay, who was completely into her camera, trying to set it up. He, himself, seemed bored with himself, leaned back in the chair in a comfortable position.

A teacher scowled as they walked by and pushed Scott's chair back onto the floor, sending him a warning look.

Scott growled slightly and just let his head fall with a loud thud on the table.

Lindsay meeped and jumped, nearly dropping her camera.

Scott looked over. "... sorry..."

Alex followed Melody and Grace to the table by the window. She took a seat next to Melody and smiled at her.

Melody and Grace smiled as they spotted Lindsay and Scott. They both stood up waving to Damion and Alex to show they'd be right back. "Hi, I'm Melody-
" "-and I'm Grace", they said as they walked up, "Do you-" "-want to-" "-sit with us?" They finished with identical smiles. The only thing different about them was their dresses. One wore a blood red dress that hugged tight to her curves and barely went to her knees. The other wore a simple baby blue dress that fitted her nicely at the top, but was modest and flowed down to ehr knees, and both wore silver sandals, except one wore high heels (Melody) and the other wore flats (Grace).

Damion sighed and sat down next to Alex. He looked over at Lindsay and Scott. Good. Another guy.

Scott looked up at the two girls. "Sure."

Lindsay nodded. "Sure!" She grinned widely and stood up, as Scott got up lazily. "I'm Lindsay, and this is my brother Scott." she said sweetly.

Grace smiled, the one on the red dress, "I'm Grace and this is my sister Melody, she's pretty quiet though. Come one, you can meet our other friends, Alex and Damion!" Grace lead the way with Meldoy in tow till they reached their table. "Nice veiw, huh guys?" Grace gestured to the waterfall. She glaced at Scott and Lindsay, "This is Alex and Damion. Damion, Alex, this is Scoot and Lindsay."

Meldoy smiled polietly, but fidgited in her seat slightly, not used to the idea of so many people around. She took a seat next to Alex and Damion, sitting there, and playing with her napkin, going in and out of thought about nothing in particular, but rather going over the day's events.

Grace smiled kindly, noticing her sister's movements, but knew the reason behind them as she struck up coversation with Lindsay, Scott, Alex and Damion. "So what did you guys do to be sent here?"

Alex looked at Lindsay and then Damion. She blushed slightly, not really being use to being around many guys, as Damion sat next to her. "Hi," she said with a smile.


"Hey." Damion said back to Alex. "I'm Damion." He told her ignoring Grace's question. He had no desire to share his past and reason on why he was sent to a school meant for misbehaved students.

"It's Scott's fault..." Lindsay said.

Scott sighed. "So, I just got suspended for fighting one too many times... I just don't like to go to school. The only reason Lindsay is here is because I am." he said calmly. They both sat down next to eachother. They looked more like a couple than brother and sister. They had no physical features in common.

"Alex,"She managed to say. Then she stopped to think of why she's here now. Being kinda a shy person, she didn't really want to share it not yet knowing if she can trust everyone or anyone yet.

Melody stood up swiftly, without knocking over her chair. She glanced at everyone, "I'm going for a walk..."

"But dinner isn't ready yet," Grace pouted looking up at her sister.

"I know," Melody sighed, "I'll be back before then."

"But-" grace started, but was stopped by Melody walking off down to the Grand Hall.

Grace sighed, resting her chin in the cradle of her hand perched on the table. "I'm here because of Meldoy. She doesn't think that I know, but I do. She gave up everything to get me here, to give me a second chance. It may not seem like it, but Melody is my older sister, and far more cable of protecting herself than I ever could." She smiled sheepighly, "I don't she doesn't think so, but I know what's she's done for me through everything, and I know that our parents now hate her because of me, and that she's given up so much that, she doesn't think she deserves any of this. But truth is I don't deserve a sibling like her." Grace continued to smile sheepishly at her story as she bore it, and her sister's who had gone for a brief walk outside.

Damion frowned at Grace's story. He knew he had noone unlike Scott and Lindsay and Grace and Melody. He looked at Alex. "Why are you here?" He asked curiously.

Alex looked into Damion's eyes. "Now do you really wanna know, or are you just asking because everyone else is saying whey they're here?" she questioned wanting an honest answer.

Damion shrugged. "Doesn't matter if you tell me or not. I figured it was the topic at hand." He shrugged again and looked at the various people at the table eyeing them curiously.

Scott looked to see if there were any teachers nearby. When he didn't notice any, he went back to leaning back in his chair.

Lindsay looked at him and rolled her eyes, then started playing with her camera again. She decided to take a picture of the waterfall.

It had been several minutes, and Grace looked around, wondering were her sister had gone, and just then Melody walked back in, seeming more relaxed and took a new seat this time next to Scott, right by her sister. She crossed her arms and leaned back into the chair. "I have an answer to your question sister."

Grace laughed, "I already know what you did Melody, it's alright."

Melody shook her head, "I did that, but I did something else, that I didn't tell you..."

"What is it?" Grace began to look every worried. She and her sister shared everything, no matter how horrible or twisted it was, that was just how they were.

Alex closed her eyes and took a deep breath deciding that she'd tell him why she's there. "I have this wild and adventurous side and every once and a while it would get a little out of control. A few fights would break out, and by little I mean a lot..." she explained.

Damion smiled at her. "Same here." He told her. He looked around and stood up. "Excuse me. I have something I must do." He walked away from the table and headed into the dorms walking into his own dorm room.

Alex nodded and watched him walk away. She sat there in silence and sighed to herself. Hope I didn't scare him off... she pondered.

Scott looked over at the twins, not really too concerned with their conversation, then looked over to his sister. "You okay?"

Lindsay nodded. "Yup!" she grinned widely.

"I was in a fight club, and something swent wrong one night," Meldoy sighed, bowing her head, and allowed her bangs to cover her face. She couldn't look at her sister.

Grace latched onto Melody' arms, "What? What went wrong?"

"I-I killed my opponent one night. I went too far, I thought he might get up and I attacked more than I should have and then the poilce came. You know the rules," Melody conintued as Grace nodded and mouthed them with her, "You see nothing, hear nothing, so say nothing. After they came, I didn't say anything and then I served a year in jail and then I came home on serious probation...."

Grace froze, "That's where you went? You told our parents and me that you were off on a intership overseas." Her voice was hoarse from holding in her tears.

"Well, now you know why I'm here, I want you to have a second chance, and they only agreed to it if I came along as well," Meldoy looked up, her eyes void at the moment.

Scott looked over to see the sister's reaction. He couldn't really help it.

"Hey... I'm sorry to but in... but I couldn't help but overhear." Lindsay said, leaning over to see them, since Scott's big head was in the way. "Everyone makes mistakes..."

Alex stared out the window with her mind filled with nothingness. She didn't pay much attention to the convrsation going on around her.

Kenji walked into the Dining Hall and took the empty seat next to Alex. He lightly smacked the back of her head, "Hey." he said

Meldoy looked over at Lindsay, "I never said I regreted it, nor to I love it. It happened and I can't exactly take it back, so I live with the desicion I made that day and that's it. It's not a burden, it was a desicion. That's all...there are times I loath it though," Meldoy chuckled, "But I didn't kill him entirely, he's in the hopspital and after a few more surguries he'll be fine."

Grace let go of her sister after that news, and started to laugh lightly, "So you were ina fight club? ANd you never told me?!"

"Yeah, she was pretty good too, used that cash money of her's to buy you that car, little one," A deep voice came from behind Lindsay, and it gave a deep chuckle. The figure was a tall, lanky, but built male, who was very tall and had poercing green eyes. He had donned black slacks, a white shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows, and the top buttons left open and a tie that hung out untied. He had shaggy brown hair that hung over his eyes with charm, and his hands were stuffed into his pockets, he carried an air of ease and laziness around him, and it worked for him perfectly.

Grace yelped and blushed at the outburst, but grinned from ear to ear like a small child up at their favorite person in the world, "Danny! When did you get here?!"

Danny nodded down to Scott and Lindsay, "About the same time as these two here." He smiled down at Lindsay.

Alex started tuning back into the conversation. She felt someone hit her head,as a reflex she whacked who ever was there and turned her head. "I should of known it was you Kenji....Sneaking about as usual? Or is it something else this time?" she said.

Kenji looked over as Alex and sighed deeply. "I'm always sneaking around, never anything else. You should know that by now Alex" he replied.

Scott looked up and smiled. "Yup. I remember seeing you."

Lindsay smiled. "Hallo."

Danny smiled, and took a seat beside Alex and Lindsay, swinging the seat around so he could straddle it and lean against the back of the seat comfortably. "So when does dinner start?" And as if on cue, the staff walked out with trollys of food, stopping at each table for a student to pick a dish and move ontot eh next table. One pulled up to there's.

"Chicken please, anything is fine," grace chuckled at the look on the waiter's face when she just said chikcen and took her plate, digging in.

Meldoy smiled polietly, "Whatever you think is good," and waiter smiled, handing her a nice plate that looked an awful lot like a Jamaican dish with shrimp.

Danny smirked, "The burger genius," he snatched it, letting the plate fall onto the table with a clatter as he picked it up and started eating.

Lindsay took a fresh garden salad. "Ha, awesome!"

Scott took a nice looking steak. He looked at his sister. "You're still going with the whole vegetarian thing?"

Lindsay looked up and nodded. "Yup." she grinned.

Alex shook her head at Kenji and looked at everyone at the table. "This is Kenji by the way," she said pointing to him.

Kenji chuckled and mumbled, "Apparently, You've all met Alex. I'm just surprised she hasn't scared anyone off yet."

Grace whacked the new guy at their table, with a slight frown, "Hey! Alex is nice! What's it to you, anyhow??"

Melody just laughed lightly behind her sister.

"What was that for?!?!" Kenji said slightly loud. "I'm her older brother, so I'm allowed to tease her."

Alex sighed, "As sad as it is he's my brother..." she groaned.

Lindsay nodded. "Don't worry Alex, I know how it is." she glared at Scott.

Scott looked up at her innocently, grinning. "What? It's an older brother's job to pick on the little sister."

Alex giggled. "Its also the little sister's job to tease back," she added with a smile.

"Tell me about," Danny chuckled, it rumbled through his chest. His gaze peirced on Melody and Grace.

Grace blushed, and tossed a chip in his direction, "Well, you're no wark in the park either, Danny!"

This caused Meldoy to laugh harder than before and she started to fall off her chair.

Grace looked at her sister, and smiled gratefully, finally glad that her sister was opening up more, she knew that Meldoy had problems trusting people outside of herself, Grace and Danny. There were times she doubted Meldoy even trusted her, but this made up for all of that now.

She joined her sister in on the laughter, though Meldoy's was softer, it was the force of the laughter that shook her smallish frame, her only being 5'2".

Danny looked at the two, glad that he had come after all, and chuckled at their antics, and nudged Scott and Lindsay, trying to get them to join in. He smirked at Alex, and his eyes bore into her;s as he chuckled once more.

Lindsay chuckled lightly.

Scott just simply rolled his eyes. He wasn't really one for laughing.

Melody calmed down, and placed her hand on what she thought was her leg, but was in fact Scott's, to steady herself and right herself in her chair. She smiled to the people at the table.

Grace chuckled, "Well, that was nice. Haven't laughed for a while, huh sis?"

Melody shook her head, allowing a small smile to grace her lips, she was slipping back to her shy, gentle self that she true was when she started to remember other people were seated at the table.

Alex noticed that Danny was looking at her, she looked back at him. She bit her bottom lip gently and blushed slightly not use to guys other than her brother looking at her.

Kenji looked at Alex and then at Danny. He rolled his eyes and sighed deeply.

Scott blinked and looked at Melody's hand. "...?"

Lindsay stretched slightly. She thought. "Hmm... too bad Damion isn't here... I would've taken a group picture!"

Meldoy blushed deeply, it crawled across her face and down her neck as she looked down at her own lap after quickly pulling back her hand.

Danny chuckled and winked slyly at her, before switching his sharp gaze to Meldoy and grace, and the rest of the group.

Grace shrugged, "He said he had somehting to do. He'll be back." She turned to Kenji, and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry about whacking you earlier..."

"Its all good," Kenji told Grace with a smile, "Any friend of my sister is a friend of mine. I gotta keep her out of trouble."

Alex blushed even more when Danny winked at her. No one has ever winked at me before.... she thought. She managed to hear what her brother said. "Oh, ya. Your just so great at watching me and keeping me from trouble." She said rolling her eyes.

Scott smiled slightly. "Meh... it's all good."

Lindsay sighed. "Ehh... I wish thing would get moving... I want to get some pictures of the gardens...."

Grace nodded, "They look lovely, but be careful not to wander too close or you'll fall in." She chuckled.

Meldoy nodded, not trusting her voice, but looked up enough to see his smile and gave him a small one in return, forgeting for a moment about everyone else but her and him at the table, but Danny's voice pulled her back.

"Fall in what??" Danny looked up, and took another bite of his burger.

Grace laughed, and pointed out the window at the thunderous waterfall.

Danny let his jaw unhinge for a moment before chuckling, "Yeah, better watch out for that."

Scott tussled Lindsay's hair. "You better be careful."

Lindsay giggled. "Don't worry! I know how to swim."

Danny chuckled, "Well with that current, it won't really matter.."

Grace chuckled, "Danny's a science nerd.."

Danny chuckled, "But I used in ways to help with that hiest a few years back, remember Grace?"

Grace laughed, "Oh yeah, the twin theifs strick again.."

Melody sighed, shaking her head at her sister's antics as she ate her dish, and found it very spicy, reaching for her water, she downed it in a few seconds, trying to rid her mouth of the burn.

Scott had a piece of bread with his steak and gave it to Melody. "Water makes it worse. Eat this, it'll help."

Lindsay shrugged. "Then I might just have someone come with me..."

"Thanks," Meldoy smiled at him, taking the bread and nibbled at it till it was gone along with the burn, "It helped!" She sounded surpised.

Grace laughed, "I'll go with you and I can show you the dorms after!"

Lindsay smiled widely and nodded. "Thanks! That'd be awesome."

Scott nodded. "The spicyness is all oil. Water doesn't get rid of it, but the bread soaks it up." he chuckled. "I love cooking..."

"Ooooo....Cooking," Alex said with a smile looking at Scott. "What do you like to cook?"

Scott looked at her and smiled slightly. "Everything. Cooking is what I plan to go to college for."

Lindsay gave him a look. "IF you can stay in school that long... the way you get into fights..."

Kenji chuckled. "A guy that gets into fight, wants to be a chef. With the knives, I wouldn't want to piss you off Scott." he said.

"I'm a bit late but capsicum is also absorbed by milk,it bonds to it instead of the cells in your tongue." A voiced drifted by as a man in white walks by holding a tray. He sat down at a table off to the side."just a note for the future...." He brushed his hair to the side as it shined bright pink in the light.

Kenji chuckled listening the guy that had just gotten to the table near by.

Alex smiled. She glanced at Danny, there was something about him that she liked. "Hey, I'm Alex," she said to the guy.

A bit late to dinner a young woman with long black hair and a blank look on her face was escorted into the room by a beautiful woman with flowing red hair. As they walked in the brunette walked carelessly to a seat to sit by herself, the redhead however walked with hip swaying grace over to the teacher's table and took an empty seat.

Selena looked up and smiled at the newcomer, "You must be Maleni Nevory, our new drama teacher. I am Selena Black the headmistress." Selena was never one to be impoilite and stood, holding out her hand, waiting to see the girl's reaction.

Grace looked up at the new male and leaned back to have better look at him, "Is that so?" The corners of her lips twitched up in a mock smile, "Well, I'll be sure to use that."

The man with pink hair ate calmly and quietly seemingly ignoring everyone else he had concentrated on his food. music drifting out of the head phones that he wears over his ears.

as everything went on two teens approached the table with the others one with bright green hair who spoke"mind if I take a seat" and the other with long black hair covering his left eye dragged the other one down making him sit anyway.

Danny cast a glance at Alex and leaned over to whisper in her ear while everyone else was occupied, "Would you like to go for a walk in the gardens?" He pulled back smirking, his green eye borin into her's once more.

Grace sighed, having finished her meal, she rested one hand on her stomach, still eaningback in the chair, and hummed softly to herself. She stood up, not realizing sittin down had caused her blood red dress to creep up.

Melody looked over, blushing for her sister, and tugged her wrist, "You're dress sister..."

Grace looked down and laughed, shrugging she replied, "Oh, well, I hate wearing it low anyway."

Kenji spaced out. His mind was somewhere in the clouds or another planet, who knows where.

Alex looked back into Danny's eyes and smiled. "I'd love to," she whispered back st him.

Lindsay took notice and waved a hand in his face to try and get him back down. "Hey... you okay?"

Scott grinned. "Just don't piss me off and you won't have to worry about the knives.

Kenji looked over at Scott and chuckled. "Note to self, Never piss Scott off when around knives and sharp objects." he said with a smirk.

Scott nodded and grinned. "Yup."

The boy with long black hair looked up and smiled very wide "Thats a tad bit violent don't you think?"

The teen next to him with green hair placed his hand over his mouth finding it almost impossible to keep a straight face,this was probably going to end badly.

"Its only violent if you piss him off when he's by them," Kenji said looking at the guy with black hair.

Maleni shook the head mistress's hand gently, smiling. "I am indeed. It's pleasure to be working here, ma'am." She slid a hand back to brush back her hair off her shoulder.

Pandora watched the happy, talking people around her and sat in silence.

Selena chuckled, and sat down, gesturing for new compainion to do the same as the food trolely pulled to their table, "No need for such formalities. Call me Selena, please. May I call you Maleni?" She smiled to the waiter who bowed his head as she took her plate.

Melody just chuckled at Kenji's joke, his 'note to self'. She had thought it was funny, but her sister rolled her eyes.

Danny leaned over again, seeing the brother distracted he smirked and whispered in her ear, his breath tickling her neck, "How about now?"

"Please do." Maleni replied. She sat down and looked out amoung the crowd of students. "It seems we have a very special group, wouldn't you agree?"

Selena nodded, and brought a bite of her steak to her mouth and answered after a moment, "Exactly what I was aiming for..."

Maleni sipped her drink and nodded

Alex smiled and looked over at Kenji. Perfect, He's distracted. she thought and grinned. She looked back at Danny. "Now sounds great," she whispered back with a sweet smile spread across her face.

Pandora lit a cigarette and inhaled deeply

Danny smiled, and took her hand gently before standing and lifted her up into his arms, carrying her to the gardens. IN the hallway, he smiled cutely down at her, "Sorry, thought it might be a bit quicker than walking out of there."

Scott shrugged. "Don't worry, I can control myself."

Lindsay couldn't help but laugh at that.

Meldoy raised an eyebrow at that statement, and smiled teasingly, turning herself toward Scott, "Oh really?"

Pandora blew smoke into the air and watched it

"Would you be here if you could control it?" Kenji questioned with emphasis on the could.

Scott sighed. "So I lost it one time... or two... Ugh. Okay, so I can control it most of the time."

Lindsay nodded. "Much better."

Maleni looked around. "Such social butterflies...at least for the most part, would you not agree, Selena?" She looked at the headmistress

Selena looked up from her finished meal and glanced around at the students, and smiled, "Yes, most are, a few loners, but to each his own."

Kenji felt something missing. Something's not right.... He looked around, Alex.... "Where did Alex go?" he asked.

Lindsay smiled. "She went out into the gardens with that Danny kid." she said.

Scott finished up his food and stood up. "See you later Lindsay... I'm gonna go wander." he said.

What am I going to do with that damn sister of mine....oh well, I'm not going to keep her from trouble. I dont want to blow my second chance.She's my sister, but I can always watch over her... Kenji thought in his head. "She better not get into any trouble...." he said.

Pandora sighed and rested her head on the table, everyone seemed to know someone

Scott looked down at Pandora and Melody. "Hey, you two wanna join me?" he asked.

Lindsay sighed and shook her head.

Pandora looked at Scott. She pointed to her chest as if to ask "me?"

Scott nodded and grinned, waiting for Melody's answer as well.

PAndora got up and walked over to him. She waved slightly at him

Melody shrugged and msiled at her sister, telling her not to worry as a frown crossed Grace's face. Meldoy waved to Pandora, and nodded to Scott, "Why not??"

Scott grinned at Pandora, then looked at Melody. "Lets go then!"

Melody nodded, "Alright," she looked at the other girl, wondering her name.

Pandora waved slightly at Melody.

Scott started walking off to the gardens.

Pandora followed him, silent as ever

Melody tapped the other girl on the shoulder, and spoke, "Sorry, but would you tell Scott," she pointed to the boy in front of them, "that I'm just a bit tired and am going up to the dorms? Thank you." With that, she turned slowly, and walked out to the Grand Hall and up to the dorms, deciding she would check on Damion and doubled back for a small plate of steak to vring up.

Pandora wrote this down on a peice of paper. She jogged up to Scott and tapped him on the shoulder, giving him the paper.

Scott looked down at the paper and smiled. "Alright. Looks like its just you and me." he said.

Pandora wrote her name on a peice of paper and handed it to him

Scott looked and smiled. "Well Pandora, its nice to meet you. I'm Scott." he chuckled.

Kenji looked at Pandora and then Scott. "I'm Kenji," he thought he'd add.

Pandora showed Kenji the peice of paper with her name on it, she held out her hands to them

"Nice to meet you Pandora," Kenji sais shaking her hand that she hld up in front of him.

Scott smiled and shook her other hand.

Pandora nodded her head to the boys in front of her

---

Grace looked at the others at her table. She smiled to Kenji, Lindsay, and over at teh two boys next to their table. The night had certainly been interesting and she wondered what else would occur.

Lindsay decided to take a picture of everyone at the table.

---

Selena looked at her dinner companions around the table flashing a smile to each of them before looking back to Maleni, "So, I remember your resume, and as intriguing as it was, I couldn't help but wonder why you would want to work at a school like mine..."

"I want to help a younger crowd open up from their shells with acting..." Maleni smiled beautifully at her

---

Scott remembered something. "Shit!! Sorry Pandora, I gotta still unpack all my stuff. You and Kenji can maybe chill." he smiled "Maybe we can catch up later and hang out." he said. With a small wave, he ran up to his room.

Lindsay watched her brother go and sighed. She walked over to Pandora. "Hey, don't mind him. He has OCD, and now has to go fold his clothes and everything." she smiled.

Pandora simply nodded. She watched him run away like so many had before, though for different reasons. She looked at Lindsay and held out a hand to her.

Lindsay shook her hand and smiled. "Wanna be friends?" she asked bluntly.

Pandora shook Lindsay's hand, then looked off to one side as if thinking, then looked back to Lindsay. She shrugged as if to say. Sure. Why not? Then nodded a bit. She pulled a bracelet from her pocket and showed it to Lindsay, it was inscribed with "Pandora" on it.

Lindsay nodded. "Awesome!" she looked at the bracelet. "Pandora? That's an awesome name!! I'm Lindsay." she smiled sweetly.

Pandora scratched her head seeming a bit confused.

Lindsay blinked. "Wait.... is that you're name, right?"

She nodded and patted herself down for her cigarettes.

Lindsay cocked her head slightly in confusion.

Pandora pulled out a smoke and lit it up.

Lindsay meeped. "N-not in school!!"

Pandora bshrugged. No one had stopped her before

Lindsay seemed all nerve-wrecked. "L-lets go out to the courtyard!"

Pandora nodded and shrugged

Lindsay led her out to Arbor Mist Gardens
