Trip to the Beach

W-what?! Them dating! Ha... like that would ever happen... what a weird thing for James to say though. Him and her dating? How would that even work...

"Errr... dunno... we are just friends is all. Some girls like to gossip and speculate... even criticize." remarked Nyota as she leered at the gaggle of girls. When she noticed floating his way over to a large rock like a fricking angle of darkness, she swam over and attempted to scale the rock to reach her friend. Yet... each time she attempted the climb, her grip would fail her as she fall backwards into the crushing waves with each failure. By her fifth or sixth try, she gave in that there was no way she would climb this one handed.

"Oh screw me screw me so hard in the-" Nyota sighed and looked up to her friend perched up high on his rocky throne, perhaps amused with her pathetic attempts to reach him.

"Errr... hey... you I don't normally ask this but... can you lend me a hand?" asked Nyota as she reached out to him with her single arm.

"Thanks dork. It was times like this that REALLY missing having two hands..." grumbled Nyota as she sat next to James on their rocky perch. She pulled her legs close to her chest and wrapped her wet around around her knees.

"I guess it kind of depends on the high school... I mean... here at Starlight? Not nearly as much slander and smack as there was middle school back in Nebraska. I am sure high school would be just the worst over there with its stupid little cliques and what not." complained Nyota with gruff

"At least here people don't care as much because almost everyone here is a weirdo so whats the point? But yeah... its best to not get caught up in thinks like who is Stacy dating, did you hear Brad was out to get little Tommy, or that Sadie was screwing the teacher to get her D's into B's. Too much to wrap and sort out in you head to figure out which are the truths, half-truths, and straight up lies. Its just... so much fricking simpler to be frank and leave it at that."

Nyota realized that she may have gone off on a bit of non-tangential rant but reflecting on the stupid gossip games and the traumatizing experience that is American middle school education just got her fired up.

As the older girl approached her friend, either not noticing or just plain ignore her seating just a foot next to James, Nyota gave the scantily-clad woman a disapproving glare. Afterall... that does this hussy want with her friend James? Sure James has his charm but... this woman is awfully bold approaching her friend like this.

Nyota furrowed a brow, she may not have the brightest nor the most observant but damn it even she couldn't be blind to how hard she was coming on to her friend James. And she was the sort of girl that James should have thing to do with for she would suck him him dry like a vampire... she very well could be vampire for all she knew.

"Hey, skank! Back off okey? He isn't interested okey? So do us both a favor and go crawling back from whatever damp hole you crawled yourself out of okey? Before I make you." threatened Nyota as she erected her posture.

She knew that she was being a massive cockblock right now but THIS woman was clearly not good enough for James. Whatever ulterior motives this harlot had for him could bode well for her best friend. Last thing she needed is for James to wake up with vampire zombie aids or something.

((Short post are fine! It was good length actually.))

Nyota eye twitched, she could feel her inner rage seething deep inside. Oh how she WANTED to wipe that condescending smirk right off this harlots's face! She probably would have blasted her off the face of the planet had it not been for her friend James speaking up for her before she was able to do anything rash. So this is what its like to have a friend backing you up.

"Ha, you sure told her off! Thanks for backing me up dork... that is... well... the first anyone stood up for me. Probably a good thing too... I would have blasted her face with a fistful of plasma if she didn't leave." remarked Nyota, smiling stupidly at James still as she gives him a playful shove "Probably for the best too... I am pretty sure she is like one of those Sirens that eat boys like you for breakfast."

Nyota still notices the girl glaring at the two of them so she hold out her arm to make a single rude finger gesture directed to her. When she finally turned away, Nyota just laughed and places her hand back or the rock they are sitting on. Or at least that is what she thought, she accidentally placed her hand on top of Jame's but immediately pulls it back as if his skin were the handle of hot pan. Instead of drawing attention to it, she just acted if nothing happened and places her hand on the piece of rock next to Jame's hand.

"So... admire brains huh? You dig those brainy know-it-all nerds then?" teased Nyota, just poking a little fun at James.

Nyota couldn't help but smile, before coming her thought she was undeserving of friends, that she didn't need them. But times like this... well days like this certainly proved her wrong.

"Heh... thanks dude... your pretty much the only friend I got to be honest so... uhh... thanks for putting up with me."

Thanks... it felt so weird to say that word, part of her felt weak for saying, as if relying on others made her feel lesser. But... maybe she herself was become stronger for it... or maybe she is just being dumb and overthinking thinks.

"Well... if that is what you dig won't fault ya. And yeah, don't be afraid to show those scars. If if they all give you funny looks for them they are still a part of you so show them off. If people talk shit then just let them talk and ignore them... or give them a rightful punch in the face. Some life advice for ya friend." spoke up Nyota as she laid down the next to James, staring off to the sunny sky above. Something about the great glowing ball of gas... there is beauty in it that few can truly appericate without some protective set of eye-ware.
