I'm Right, You Know.

Early afternoon was the best time of day, in Christina's opinion. Photos came out the best at this time, it was warm, and the light poured into her room through the window. She'd walked in from her photo adventure in the woods to review her photos in the comfort of her own room. As she sat lazily on her bed, she listened to the laughter and conversation through the window beside her. There was no better feeling to her than going through photos she'd taken and deleting them until she got to the one that was deemed good enough to keep. Usually there was only one of those out of forty, but when she got to it, Christina could not be happier. Legs crossed, laying on her back comfortably, the small girl deleted picture after picture. When she finally got to one of a bird with baby birds in the nest, she smiled at how well it came out. Surprised about it, as well, for she'd taken that one for fun and not for the photography aspect of it. Her father had always told her that was how the best pictures came about. Perhaps he was right.

When all the pictures had been looked through and cleared out, the camera was set on the bookshelf behind her. The day was going slowly and the tiny blonde needed something to occupy herself before she died of boredom. It wasn't like her to not have an idea about what to do with her time... Christina jumped up with an idea. After a quick check on her hair in the mirror to make sure she hadn't messed it up after laying on it for so long, she stepped quietly out of the room. Her friend, Avi, could always be counted on to provide amusement of some sort. Though they didn't always get along, the girls were good friends and never turned down company of each other.

Christina walked through the hall of co-ed dorms, where her own room and Avi's room were located. Most parents might have a problem with their children sleeping in a room with the opposite gender away from home, but her dad trusted her and her mom didn't have to know. She wasn't sure why other parents didn't have a problem with it, but she wasn't going to argue. Generally, Christina got along better with guys than girls, so as long as she wasn't in a room full of females, she didn't care what the reason was. Somehow drama was always started when the small blonde got into a group of girls, so it was avoided whenever humanly possible.

At Avi's door, she stopped and bit her lip, hoping her friend was inside and she wouldn't be stuck talking to one of the roommates. That was a quite embarrassing situation to be in that had happened a few times to her before. Christina lifted her hand quickly and knocked briefly. She called out, "Avi? Are you there?" before she started to tap her foot, already impatient. It had always been in her nature to be impatient - ever since she was about three years old. Taking even a few seconds could make the girl sigh in frustration and tap her toes. Bad habit, but she didn't exactly care if people knew that she hated waiting for anything.

Avi was really exhausted. This whole morning since eight she had been on the course of the track with coach pushing her until she literally could not stand. Her legs gave out she ran so much. She wasn’t catching any breaks from him and she highly doubted she would in the future. Ugh. He really was a hard ass, but she also knew that she was going to thank him for this in the long run. It really was to her benefit, but didn’t stop her from complaining every chance she got. Smiling at the thought she groaned as she felt the workout kicking in. All she was planning on doing this afternoon was lying in her bed with the fan on and relaxing. Avi knew she should be doing homework or something but she also knew that she had the whole break since she wasn’t going home.

Walking over to her dorm she was aware of the stares she was getting as she hobbled through the halls, her whole body hurting and aching. Her roommates were out as they had obviously went home to visit their families over the break. She would have the room to herself! Maybe she would take a nap. Anyway, as she got to her dorm she grabbed a change of clothes and headed into the shower. Sometime later she was out of the shower and feeling considerably less grouchy. She did her normal routine and braided her wet hair, letting it fall down to the middle of her back. Her hair was naturally curly but braiding it softened up the curls some. Plus with her power you would never tell when there was going to be a wind or not. She was in the middle of lying down when she head a knock.

Getting up sighing she walked over towards the door. She knew that it was for her, after all, No one else was here and who else would be here except for those who were there to visit her. She honestly hoped it was not Ash. He should be at home with his family, not here bugging her. Don’t get her wrong, he was one of her closest friends but she was not in the mod to deal with him. Honestly she was just tired. With his attitude she honestly just could not handle him. If it was him at the door then she would probably end up snapping at him. She wondered who it could be if it wasn’t. She had a few close friends but none immediately came to mind when sh filled through who was still at Hammel and who was not. There were only a few so she looked at whoever it was coming in a small and light breeze lowing out as she opened the door.

As she looked out of the door Avi was slightly surprised to see Christina standing there. It was a good surprise though, rest assured. She knew the other girl was bored or something since she was here. The two had a tendency to fight about odd things and to always compete at things in general. Even though the two were always competing they were good friends. Even if the girl didn’t know when to give up. Smiling Avi opened the door some and let her. “ I hope I haven’t made you wait to long Christina what’s up?” Avi walked back in and waited or her to follow before closing the door. “Anything ya need?”

After a few seconds of tapping her foot and a small sigh, the door before her opened and Avi's head poked out from behind it. Christina smiled slightly. At least it was her opening the door and not a roommate to make things uncomfortable. "I hope I haven't made you wait too long, Christina. What's up? Anything ya need?" Laughing lightly, the small blonde shook her head, her hair shifting slightly around her shoulders as she did so. She stepped into the room after her friend, walking lightly over to Avi's bed and sitting down, back against the headboard, making sure to leave room. Christina crossed her legs, not bothering to keep her feet off of the bed. Okay, so she didn't have the best manners, but it never really occurred to her that someone could or would mind such a thing.

The room looked much like the rest of the dorms she'd seen at Hammel, with a few personal touches, of course. Upon arriving at the school, Christina's own room had had beds as plain as the walls, a bookshelf with nothing yet on it, and closet with nothing in it but empty clothes hangers. Over time, of course, she'd made it much more personal. Her bed now had her own comforter on it and a colorful pillowcase, the bookshelf had books, her clothes were in the closet, and the walls had photos taped up all over them. Obviously Avi's room, also, wasn't as plain as it would have been when she'd first arrived to the school, though Christina didn't take the time to note everything that had changed about it.

Avi herself seemed to be a bit off her game, come to look at her. She had a bit of a limp to her walk and her hair was damp, as though she'd just taken a shower. Christina pursed her lips and looked her friend up and down. "You okay? You look like you got run over by a football team and sprayed with a hose." Yeah, okay, she also was prone to exaggeration and not very good at showing concern for people with analogies. Eyebrows raised, the small meta-human girl smiled and crossed her arms, hoping she hadn't offended Avi, yet at the same time not really thinking too much about it. Christina, herself, wore a flowy pink and white floral tank top, blue skinny jeans, black high top converse, a pink bow in her hair, and an assortment of colorful bracelets and hair bands around her wrist.

There actually was a reason behind coming to Avi in a time of boredom. It was always a fun time to cause a little discomfort for the girl, and Christina had come up with the perfect way to whilst taking photos. There was one person that someone could bring up to the girl and count on it to be an interesting conversation, no matter how it went. She smirked lightly and a mischevous glitter showed in her eyes. "So how's your boyfriend?" The blonde had to hold back a laugh and work to keep her smirk firm on her face as she looked for the reaction from Avi.

Avi watched as the smaller girl came in and sat on her bed. Avi could care less if her friends feet were on her bed. It really didn’t matter to her. She was just a bit tired and she really did not care. She smiled a bit as she did so. Avi knew that the girl was impatient and she also knew that it was bad to make her wait. Smiling she sat down on the other side of the bed and turned the fan on. As she sat on the opposite side f the bed she tried to think of why her friend was here. When nothing came to mind she just shrugged sleepily and nudged her friend with her foot. “ Comfortable?” she asked with a grin.

Avi’s room gave of a definite “Avi” feel. When she had come to Hammel she realized that she couldn’t paint the walls and that frustrated her to no end. At home her walls were painted all sorts of colors, seeing as her parents gave her free reign there. So she started flipping through magazines looking for ideas, and finally in a Home&Gardens magazine she came across an idea that was really quite brilliant. As soon as she could she had made the trip to the mall, with supervision of course, and bought some curtains. They were really pretty and a mix of blues and greens. Smirking as she set them up, tacking the end with pins onto the walls she knew that she had around away around the rules. This made her a) very happy and b) a bit of an inflated ego. There was nothing in the rules against putting up curtains. Also she had found some really cool light fixtures to offset the curtains. Also in her room was various pictures of her family and her pet rabbit. Smiling she looked over at her friend wondering just why she was here.

Avi winced when Christina very bluntly said she looked as if a football team had run her over. Wincing at her words she looked over at her. “ Just as bad, Coach was in one of his moods. You know, the ones where he makes me run until I can barely stand.” Looking down she sighed. She knew Christina meant well but sometimes she didn’t think before she spoke, though Avi did the same thing so she really couldn’t say anything. She looked over at the other girl smiling a little. “ You on the other hand look perfectly fine.” Avi got out her book that she was supposed too be reading for English. She really had not gotten very far at all. It was kind of annoying to Avi. There was so much else to be doing other then reading this book. Avi sighed. She just didn’t get all these words, from juxtapose to symbolism Avi just could not comprehend how this would help her any in the future.

Avi sighed as she opened the book and casually looked at it while looking at it. Smiling a bit she watched as Christina started to get that look in her eyes. The one that usually meant trouble for Avi. Smirking she wondered what the girl was going to do now. The two had gotten into so much trouble before just from arguments that they both could only be described as “frenemies” though, if you asked Avi she would vehemently deny it, and ignore you for that matter. Avi looked up at her book where she had managed to get to the middle of it when Christina began to speak. Wait what was she saying? Avi had a boyfriend? This was the firs she had heard of it. “What now? Who exactly is this supposed boyfriend of mine? And where was I when this was happening?” Avi looked at Christina with a small smile. “ Who exactly are you referring to?”
