Charlie grabbed his tray of food from the assembly line that was the school's cafeteria food. Richmond High School actually had other choices of food from fast food places and even a kitchen for students to cook their own meals. Charlie never bothered to go to any of these places. They consisted of too many people and if he was able to avoid people he would.
It wasn't that he hated people. He actually enjoyed most of their company, but there were so many people at Richmond that bullied him for being "gay" even though he was completely straight. They always mentioned his father and he was just so done being part of that so he chose a life by himself. He found an empty table and sat there, knowing no one would bother to sit next to him.

Ugh! this crowd, loud place bothered her to no end. why did she have to eat here? the people and the noise they made was almost unbareable but she managed as she took her tray and looked at it with a bit of disgust. School food, yay! she walked around for a moment and looked for a place to sit. her eyes came across some jock guy with a basketball walking toward someone. oh these guys were all the same and the only people in school that bothered her as much as jocks were cheerleaders. she walked at a quick pace and walked around just behind charlie as the jock tossed the basketball. sky reached out and caught the ball in her hand and quickly threw it back at the guy. she reached back and placed her tray on the table beside charlie and she kept her eyes on the boy in front of her. " I'll aim lower next. Now leave him alone. "
[/b][/color] she rolled her eyes as the guy went on and she turned and sat down beside charlie and she pulled her tray close.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]  ( TAG ) [charleston keeni] ( WORDS ) billions ( OUTFIT ) click!

"Thanks..." Charlie mumbled under his breath. He was grateful that Skylar didn't mind standing up to the jocks of the school. After all, who would want to be hit in the head with a basketball, but he couldn't help but feel a bit..embarrassed. The guys would probably pick on him later in the locker room when she wasn't around to protect him. They would tell him how some younger girl had to protect him because he couldn't. How he wished he could just let go of control and smash their heads into the locker and just walk out. But of course, Charlie couldn't. He vowed to not let his Ares blood ever take over. "So, how's your day going so far?"

she sighed a little as she thought about her day. he was going to get picked on for her standing up for him but she would do it again if she saw chance. she lowered her head a little and nearly put her hair in her food as she thought. she then raised her head and she looked over at him with a slight smirk on her face. " You're welcome and it's been all right i guess. it's to hot and i haven't had much happen other than watching the cocks run around and terrorize people. Yes i meant cocks, not jocks. "
[/b][/color] she chuckled a bit and took her spoon in hand and ran it around in her food. she really didn't want to taste a bite of this stuff, it looked so nasty. "Why don't you stand up to these guys.. we both know you can. I mean, i am sure you have your reasons but being a punching bag for the school jocks isn't a way to go. "[/b][/color] she sighed a little as she thought about it. she could be a bully and she really had no clue why she bothered to keep him from being attacked but she did it anyway, it felt like the right thing to do.. Ew! where did that come from?[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] ( TAG ) [charleston keeni] ( WORDS ) billions ( OUTFIT ) click! ( MUSIC ) im alive - soty ( NOTES ) tired..

Charlie shoved spoon fulls of hm, he actually wasn't quite sure what he was eating, but it was food. He had to eat something and he wasn't one to pass up a meal just because it didn't take good. He actually cared little for food and ate it simply because it was a necessary to sustain his life. Charlie chuckled slightly at Skylar's comment. She was always so fueled with energy it was crazy to someone like Charlie who could spend six hours straight sitting on his rear, painting.
I don't see a point. I mean, I'll talk back sometimes but that just makes things worse. Plus, they can't understand half the insults I throw at them because they are not exactly the smartest bunch. Charlie glanced over at the jocks that were talking and throwing food at random prey. He talked lower not wanting them to over hear at all. "Plus, I'm not going to be like my father. He has more Ares blood in him and I've seen him go to jail for it. While my mom and dad haven't really told me, I know he's done worse. I don't want to regret anything, ever and if I did something about it, I don't know if I could control myself."

she put her spoon down and pushed the tray away. she turned and sat sideways and faced him as she leaned over on her palm after putting her elbow down on the table. she took a deep breath and thought to herself for a moment before speaking to him. "I hate who i am most of the time, i hate being the daughter of a man that hides from me in the skies, the daughter of a man that didn't care enough about me to stick around and see my life through. All i ever wanted, all i still desire is a father that will love me and take care of me but instead i get nothing but i at least accept that i am the daughter of ares and i have power. If i have to use that power to stay safe then i will and if i have to use it to keep you from being picked on your entire life than i will do that too."
[/b][/color] she turned and came up out of her sit and sat down on the table itself and put her feet where she was originally sitting. she brought both hands together and tilted her head so she could look at him. "You can't do anything to change who you are, why not just accept it.. maybe you are strong enough to control it."[/b][/color][/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] ( TAG ) [charleston keeni] ( WORDS ) billions ( OUTFIT ) click!

Charlie had stopped eating by this point and was staring at Skylar. He tended to do that. Stare. He never meant to, but he had always found himself observing someone so intensely that he ended up coming off as rude by staring. Oh well, he knew Skylar wouldn't think much of it.
He never knew how lucky he was actually. Charlie had a mother who loved him and a father who loved him just the same even if he did have a temper. He had someone to look up to as a father while Skylar had to live her whole life without one.
"You don't always have to protect me, but thank you..." Charlie paused. He wasn't so great words. He was more of a listener. He liked taking his time to form a thought before speaking which more people in today's society should have done. "I accept that I'm the grandson of Ares. But that doesn't mean that I have to let him control me...I just don't have that much faith in myself I guess. Skylar, you turned out to be an amazing woman despite the lack of Ares being around."

she sighed a little bit as she listened to what he had to say. she just wished that she could believe him when he said that she was amazing. she sat there for a moment in her own silence and then took a deep breath. " Amazing? That's a bit of a strong word there. I'm not amazing. I'm a hard ass, foul mouth teenage girl that throws up this huge tough girl act because her father left her before she was even born. I spend my days hoping for a chance to come face to face with him so i can finally show him what i think of him and i spend my nights sitting at a lake crying under the goddamn moonlight because i miss a man i've never met."
[/b][/color] she seemed to grow a bit angry as she spoke. she ran her hands together and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. " You have more potential than anyone i know for something far beyond greatness but you seem to fear losing control. You are strong.. much stronger than you know. I know that if you just give yourself a chance you can conquer this.."[/b][/color][/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] ( TAG ) [charleston keeni] ( WORDS ) billions ( OUTFIT ) click!

He couldn't help but feel like Skylar was being unfair to herself. Yeah, she had mentioned how she thought he was ready for great potential, but that was a joke. He was the grandson of Ares, not even completely half. He was always in the art room like some sort of freak and it was harder for him to control his temper than most normal people. Maybe that's why he had become such great friends with Skylar, because she understood. That and she was one of the only people in the school that didn't bully him.
"That's what you see about yourself. What I see, is a woman who grew up without a father. He left her nothing but bad blood that makes her angry all the time, but that didn't keep her down. She's able to remain strong when she has all the right to be weak. She stands for what she believes in and even defends those who can't defend themselves." He trailed off giving her credit for helping him. "I don't know, Sky. We're both in a fucked up situation and I'm not sure where our future is but I know deep down that everything is going to be okay. It has to be."

she would stand by someone she cared about no matter what and part of that was the need to have those that would protect her if the day ever came where she truly rebelled. she almost smiled at his words to her but not quite. she held the smile inside and thought to herself quietly for a moment and then moved. she slid closer to him and got down in the seat beside him. she reached up and put both arms around his neck and leaned her head on his shoulder a bit. " I have to defend you.. you are the one person that understands me, you seem to be the most unlike me and at the same time the most like me. You care about and i don't know why. I don't see how you could or how anyone could and you always try to cheer me up even when you don't have reason too. "
[/b][/color] she sighed a little bit and rubbed her head against his shoulder. " We are in a fucked up situation but we will make it through and everything will be ok like you said.. I'll make it all ok.. some day."[/b][/color][/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] ( TAG ) [charleston keeni] ( WORDS ) billions ( OUTFIT ) click! ( MUSIC ) im alive - soty ( NOTES ) tired..

Charlie was taken by surprise at Skylar's sudden presence next to him. She had wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. He was never really used to physical contact from anyone besides his family and even then it wasn't really like this. Occasionally, Noel would rest her head on his shoulder when she needed comfort, but that was Noel and this was Skylar. While Charlie thought of Skylar as a friend, he had to admit, it was comforting to feel her next to him.
"I have my reasons...Besides, you cheer me up too Skylar and you protect me like it's second nature for you and you've saved me from several beating. I don't know how I could ever repay you for all that you've done for me." Charlie wasn't quite sure what to do with himself, but he leaned his head on hers like they were the only two people in the cafeteria, in the school, in all of damn Richmond, and the world. "We'll make it okay. You don't have to do it all by yourself, you know."

she was never one for emotional attachment to any body save her father but that was more of a hatred than anything but for some reason she found herself where she was with her head on his shoulder and it felt quite nice, right even. she took a breath but it wasn't deep and no sigh came out which was rare for her. she felt safe and needed and even though she was the one saving him when the time came, she felt safe for an unknown reason. "Repay me? You don't need to do anything for me because you do everything for me by being the one person that gives a damn about me. You care, you always take the time to talk to me and you show me that things can and will be ok. You make me feel safe.. and loved and above everything else you make me feel like i matter to someone. "
[/b][/color] she almost smiled but again she kept it from happening as she kept her head where it was and thought about him for a moment. "I guess you save me too.. I save you from beatings and you save me from myself.. You keep me from giving in to all of my hatred and turning psychotic. You're my very best friend.. I don't know what i'd do without you.

Charlie found himself smiling like a fool. He was glad that he wasn't the only one in this relationship that really appreciated the other. That was usually the case. He was always in a one sided relationship someone whether it was a crush or a friendship.
"You're my best friend too." He barely whispered the words. Though he had considered Skylar his best friend, he had never said it out loud and it was uncharted waters for him. "Skylar, you're just amazing and I think we would both be lost without each other. As long as I'm alive, I'll be around, no matter what."

it was times like these where all sadness faded from thought and buried itself in the deepest part of her mind. in times like these she didn't miss her father and didn't hate anything. she squeezed him just a little and giggled a bi without offering a smile. "i would be lost without you. I'd lose my way.. have no faith.. i'd fall down and never find a way to get back up. You are the single shining star in my midnight sky. My light in the midst of all this darkness. "
[/b][/color] she paused to take a deep breath. she thought about it for a moment and she knew she needed to ask him something considering everything that had been on her mind but in order for him to do what she needed he would need to embrace the true person within him and she knew he wasn't going to do that. "At times like these i don't miss anyone and i don't regret a thing but um, if me asking a harmless question wouldn't bother you then here: If it came down to like a war between the gods and demigods and stuff.. and i didn't stand with zeus and the others.. which side would you be on?

Charlie didn't reply, he just smiled even though she probably couldn't see. Even if he did know what to say, he didn't want to ruin the moment. Plus, he was never a man of much words and she knew that.
After Skylar's words sunk in, there was a moment of silence. Charlie gently moved Sky off of him so he could look into her eyes. She was dead serious about his. Charlie cleared his throat not quite so sure what to think about it all. The gods had never really done anything wrong to him directly. He had seen Skylar hurt though from their world. If a war did break out, he would want to support her in every way, but what about his family? Would his father side with the gods? What about Noel? It was all something he hadn't really given much thought to simply because it was scary to even think of a war breaking out. "Sky, there won't be a war so there's no use to think about it."
