[/size] Being a human is great[/i] [/center] She laughed when he said that he didn't mind getting into trouble. But what did he mean with that? She was a human, he a fledgling. And Imogen had absolutely no idea about the fact that he could die any moment any day any second. 'Well, that's good. Because I don't mind either.' immidiately she wanted to slap herself, why did she say that? Not only she hated getting in trouble, maybe he thought that she didn't mind talking with him. Well, actually she didn't mind it, but it was forbidden.
Again she wanted to slap herself when she'd dropped his hand just a second after she'd shook it. What would he think now? That he'd upset her? When he said he liked her name, she wondered just my name? but she reminded herself that it wasn't possible. 'Yeah well... I didn't like it a few years ago. There was a boy that always bullied me because my name would the name of a witch, like I'm a witch!' she didn't even bother to wonder why she told him this, she just told him everything she never told anyone. Not even her parents knew that.
When he told her that he could stay for 'a few more hours' she wanted to say that she could also make some time, but when he asked her when her shift ended she wondered if he wanted to do something with her after her work. She spied at her watch and wondered for how long they had been talking already, her shift was already over for almost half an hour! 'Uhm.. it kinda ended half an hour ago. For how long were we talking?' she wondered if she could do something with him, her parents wouldn't mind her being out for almost the whole night, they were used to that.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] |

Carter couldn't help but chuckle at her words. " You don't mind if I got in trouble?" He found that amusing, he couldn't help but find that funny. " Well, I guess that's it sorted then." And what exactly did he mean by that? They'd see eachother anyway, well he'd actually like that... Allot. Why on earth did he care so much, she wasn't do different was she? There were plenty of fledglings to pick, but Imogen was just so... He didn't want to loose contact. A Witch? Well how far fetched was it really? He was turning into a vampyre for God's sake, how unlikely could it be. Carter couldn't help but smile, holding her gaze for a moment, his small smirk in place again. " Well I like it. Give me the name of the guy and I'll go give him a scare." He smiled, only half joking. She shift was over? She'd actually sat here talking to him out of choice? Carter couldn't help but be surprised, but happy. Did that mean she liked talking? " About 20 minutes maybe, man I didn't think we'd been here for this long."Well, now or never.... " Do you maybe, want to do something since you're off... I mean you don't have to. hey it's a stupid idea, you probably want to go to sleep. I forget that this is when you're meant to sleep." Hell, he was babbling, since when did he babble? |

[/size] Being a human is great[/i] [/center] Damn miscommunication! she growled in her mind. How stupid was she to say something like that? 'Uh, that wasn't what I meant! I meant that if I could get into trouble I wouldn't mind to!' she tried to laugh and make a joke of it, but she failed. When he said that it was sorted she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Carter, what was sorted? She laughed when he said that she had to give him the name of the guy. 'He never told me his name, I always passed him after school. Only if you have any weird affinities so you can know who I'm talking about, you could find him.'
She was proud that she knew about the affinities, hell, she even knew about the weird circle casting! It doesn't hurt to have a Marked friend in the House of Night, after all. 'Me neither. But that happens if you have someone to talk with.' she shrugged.
He seemed to be fighting with his words at first, but Imogen waited for him to finally say something patiently. She never was so patient at now, but hey, he might be asking her for a date! A date with a vampyre fledgling? Weird. 'Nah I'm fine. I think I can get us movie cards for half of the original prize.' it came out of her mouth so smoothly, like she had said it to a dozen guys before Carter. But no, she'd never had a boyfriend, she even never had watched a movie with a guy. And, this one was good looking, what a luck!

Well, her explanation made a little more sense, to him at least. " Well sadly it's not against the rules for you to see me, just for me to see you. Seems a little unfair now you think about it." Mind you who would get her into trouble, apart from maybe her Parents, well definitely her parents. Who would want their daughter hanging out with a fledgling. A human who knew about affinities? That was impressive, he hadn't even told his parents about that, like they needed another reason to think he was a freak. their son who could see the future, just another think to at do the freak list. " I can't read minds or stuff like that if that's what you're asking... But I have been blessed by my Goddess..." He didn't really want to tell her, not just yet at least. She was dealing well with the freakness but that could be a bit far. She still didn't want to run? Carter was being blessed by Nyx all over again, surely she'd put this beauty in his path...Right? Well he'd decided so anyway. " Well them maybe we could, see a film? It should be pretty quite now anyway..."Carter held out his hand, hoping she wouldn't drop it as quickly was last time. |

[/size] Being a human is great[/i] [/center] She lifted an eyebrow by hearing the weird rule, then she smiled. 'Looks like we found ourself a loop hole!' she again wondered what her parents would think about it. Easy solution: she wouldn't tell them anything about it! She was good at lying, so that wasn't her biggest problem. When he told her that he didn't look into minds and such, but he had been blessed by his Goddess, she wondered what his affinity was. She had no idea who their Goddess was, but she wasn't really into any religion so that didn't matter.
'Cool. My friend can't do anything. She told me she thought she was going to die. I have no idea why though. Maybe she's sick or something?' she actually asked him if he knew if she was sick, but maybe he didn't even know her. So what would be the point of it all?
When he asked her if they could see a film, and offered his hand she took his and this time didn't release it. 'Yeah, hey, I have no knowledge about what movies are good, you know one?' she asked him. Really, she might work here but she had no idea what movies were good.
[ooc: just write some random movie, it doesn't even have to be a real one. Hm.. maybe something 'bout vampires? XD][/blockquote][/blockquote] |

At Imogen's words about her friend and death Carter visibly flinched. That was a no go area for conversations at the House of Night. No one liked to talk about death, although it was always in the back of his mind. But she deserved an explanation if they were going to be friends. " I can see why she didn't tell you Imogen. You know what a Fledgling is right? Like the in between stage between Human and Vampyre. Well not all people complete the change. We either spend for years at the school then complete the change or we... Die. I've seen it, it looks quite painful." Carter swallowed hard looking away from her up at the film titles, pretending to be uninterested, although he hated thinking about that. Dying was not high up on his list of priories, he usually tried not to think about it. Carter's gaze scanned the movie titles, trying to think of something Imogen would like. " Maybe Twilight? It's about a human girl who falls for a vampyre." He smirked lightly at the unspoken joke. Human girl and vampyre, why did that sound familur? |

[/size] Being a human is great[/i] [/center] She was silent for a few minutes. What? Fledglings could die at any moment? That also meant that Carter could die at any moment! Trying to figure out why her friend hadn't told her this, she was unaware that her grip tightened in Carter's hand. 'Oh...' she slowly said, but it was the only thing what came out of her mouth.
She had never ever heard anything about the movie title Carter said, Twilight? When he told her that it was about a human who falls in love with a vampyre she smiled. 'Sounds cool. Hey, I can get us some free.. er actually stolen popcorn!' well, stolen? She preferred to say "taken without paying for it" but that was the same as stealing it.[/blockquote][/blockquote] |

"Oh..." That really said it all. That had been Carter's first reaction too, I mean what do you do when you're told that you or a close friend might die (painfully he might add). Carter had watched it after all, there had been that girl on his third day as a third former who had just begun coughing up blood in fencing. It had shaken him up awfully but you couldn't just stop. Her body had been removed, the pupils had been given a few sympathetic looks, and then he'd been expected to move on. And Carter had. There had been a few other people dying but it was that girl who stuck in his head. She'd remembered him of Noel... Carter smiled, pushing the thoughts of death from his mind, " How about I get the tickets and you can go acquire us some popcorn. Meet you back here?" He smiled, letting go of her hand and moving over to the kiosk desk, paying for two students tickets. Once he'd finished he turned, heading back to the spot where he left her.

[/size] Being a human is great[/i] [/center] Talking about death wasn't Imogen's favorite subject, hell, it was on her "you're highly creeping me out" list, but... Carter wasn't someone who liked to talk about death either. She rubbed over the back of his hand with her thumb, and nodded at him. 'Okay. Oh... erhm.. you might want to... visit the bathroom.' her eyes lifted to the place where the smallest bit of his blue Mark was still visible. 'This time don't use too much concealer.' she teased him.
When he released her hand to get the tickets, she went to get the popcorn, it was easy because she had the key. When she returned with a rather small basket filled with salt popcorn, she wondered if he was going to get his Mark covered or if he was just going to leave it like this. 'I hope you like salt popcorn?' she asked him, she hated anything which had a sweet taste. So she hoped he hated it too.[/blockquote][/blockquote] |

Carter's heart jumped, when he felt her rub the back of his hand. Ok, what the Hell? He wasn't falling for this girl, no way. He couldn't risk that. He was being stupid, of course he wasn't... As he left her and approached the desk he realized Imogen was right. Damn it, his mark was still on show. Carter noticed the person on the desk look at him strangely, eyes drawn to above his eyes. Carter placed his trade mark smirk on his face before speaking. " Don't piss of your sister when she's holding a Biro pen, it I got most of it of though." The guy just laughed, seeming to accept Carter's lie about pen on his face. Hey, why would anyone have a reason not to believe him anyway. Before returning to Imogen he mad a detour to the bathroom,smudging the concealer already on his forehead over the blue, hiding it completely. He looked, he didn't shimmer did he? Damn he couldn't tell, well he hoped not. As he left the bathroom he spotted Imogen and couldn't help smiling. " Miss me?" He grinned cheekily, slipping her hand back into his. " Salt is fine for me. I haven't been able to stomach really sweet things since I - left home." |

[/size] Being a human is great[/i] [/center] She had the feeling that Carter got uncomfortable, when she'd rubbed the back of his hand. Well, he had all the reason to, she wasn't even allowed to see him. Wait, he wasn't allowed to see her, while she was allowed to see him. It was difficult to remember "their loop hole" as she'd called it. She sighed and waited for him to come back. Although she knew that he was Marked and was finding an excuse for the exposed piece of blue on his face, she still laughed at the lie. Smart Carter! she thought. She had no idea what she would have said if she had been Marked.
It might've been a lie, but she wondered if he had any family. When he asked her if she'd missed him she grinned. 'Yep, I fell asleep of boredom.' she was just joking, but still hoped that he didn't take it personal. Anyway, take what personal? She hadn't said that she didn't have anyone to annoy her, after all, Carter didn't even annoy her. He did the opposite. When he slid his hand back into hers she decided to try it again, but this time she squeezed very lightly, almost unnoticeable. 'Yeah.. when I eat anything sweet I get the feeling I need to throw up. I like spicy, salt, and hot.' Uhm.. hot wasn't really a taste, she wondered what she meant with it. [/blockquote][/blockquote] |

Carter hadn't exactly been one for rules even before me was Marked. Doing what was right, in his opinion, was far more important that following the rules. Like the time he'd beaten up that guy who'd upset Noel. That had been the right thing to do, even if it had gotten him suspended. This wasn't really much different. Carter felt like the right thing to do was to continue seeing Imogen, so he would. Hey, it was only really breaking the rules if people found out. Sort of. When she said she almost fell asleep Carter chuckled. " Well it is passed the humans bed time." He grinned, squeezing her hand back when she did it to him, a little harder. What was that suposed to mean? Damn why did this have to be difficult? Carter cocked an eyes brow at her words, " Hot isn't a flavor... Man I miss junk food everything at the school is healthy crap to keep us strong." Surely she could work out why they all had to be kept strong. " Anyway...." He changed the subject quickly. " Common let's get to the theater..." He smiled down at the smaller girl, as he began to walk towards the theater doors. |
