"art work"

[punkgirl06]

Gabriela looked around as she walked behind the school. She was carrying three cans of spray paint in her book bag; one yellow, one blue, and one red. They are the primary colors, she heard the voice of her brother, Timothy, in her head. He had explained this to her before, when he was tutoring her. You can mix these colors to get any other color you want. For example, yellow and blue make green. Understand?

Gabby shook her head as she neared the back of the building and took out a can of yellow spray paint. She wasn't too afraid of getting caught, she figured she'd been through worse than anything the school could do to her. What she was afraid of was letting her brother down again. The night she got arrested was a horrible night for him, she knew because her mother wrote often to tell her how terrible Gabby was for breaking the law. Gabriela figured that there really wasn't any point in changing now. She wasn't going to be a "good girl" as her brother put it. It just wasn't her.

Gab started spray painting the building, but she noticed that when she mixed spray paint, it didn't quite turn out the color she had planned. Why couldn't she remember everything her brother had taught her? This was so frustrating. She did the best she could with what she had and started painting the words Fish Fries For Friday on the wall. She doubted anyone would get it. It was a secret code that her and her brother had made up for when she needed him to cover for her if she was planning on sneaking out of the house. She would randomly say that in a conversation, or slide a note under his door with those words on it. They figured that they would never get caught with a code.

She was just about ready to put her spray cans away, when Gab noticed someone walking towards her.


(OOC: Not the best intro for my character I guess, but It'll do. Anyone's welcome to join.)

[Jacob B/Kazo S/Emily H]

((i think your intro is better than anyone elses on this site. no offense to anyone but yeah...and mine will be shorter than that...much shorter))

Jacob was the one walking toward her, wondering what she was doing. He saw something in her hands, spray cans it looked like but her couldn't be sure yet. He reached where she was and looked at the wall. "Fish fries for Friday? What is that liek a code or something?" he asked

[punkgirl06]

((Oh, thanks. lol. i was in a hurry with that one))

Gab looked at the spray paint cans in her hands and put them back in her bag. "Yeah," she said. "It's a code." Her voice was one tone, nothing unusual. This sort of thing happened when she was in a new place. She didn't mean to sound rude, being in jail had made her act extremely tough, and it seemed to stay with her. She felt like it was harder to get emotionally hurt this way.

"So, what's your name?" she asked as she put her bag on her back; it had just occured to her that she knew no one in the school yet.

[Jacob B/Kazo S/Emily H]

"Jacob" he said "And yours?" he asked, thinking that he should meet some new people since he'd been here for a week and knew only Kazo, and that was the one person he wanted to forget.

[punkgirl06]

"Gabriela." she said. She looked at the wall, not her best work, but something people would remember she supposed. "So what grade are you in?" she asked. She could at least try to be friendly. Right? It didn't sound friendly though. Gab and friendly didn't go well together. Her brother was trying to break her of that habit.

[Jacob B/Kazo S/Emily H]

"10th, I just moved here. What about you?" he asked.

[punkgirl06]

"10th." Gab said a little ashamed because she knew she should be a senior by now. "I got held back for not being in class at my other school."

[Jacob B/Kazo S/Emily H]

"Oh, that sucks...being held back I mean"

[punkgirl06]

"Yeah, I guess." Gabriela said. "But, I guess it could be worse."

"Do you have any siblings?" Gab asked, trying to lighten the mood a bit.

[Jacob B/Kazo S/Emily H]

"No..do you?"

[punkgirl06]

"I have a brother." Gabriela said. "He's a freshman." Gab was silent for a minute and then she said. "Do you wanna get out of here? I don't know where we'd go, but I don't know what the punishment is for writing on a wall here either."

[Jacob B/Kazo S/Emily H]

Jacob smiled. "Sure, anywhere's fine with me.."

[punkgirl06]

Gabriela started to walk away from the school, not that she knew where she was going. "You know your way around here?" she asked.

[Jacob B/Kazo S/Emily H]

"Uh..not really" he said following her

[punkgirl06]

Gab stopped for a minute and looked around. She heard footsteps coming from one direction, so she decided that the opposite direction would be best right now. She looked behind her. "Are you coming? I really don't know my way around either, but we can wander around for a while if you want."

[Jacob B/Kazo S/Emily H]

"Um, sure.." he said and followed her.
