[open] I'm like a fire cracker

[marcela enyo carrick]

Marcela walked quietly down the hall, not wanting to disturb anyone. Her normal methods of forcing herself to sleep really weren’t working and she desperately needed something to do. Somehow her mind had come up with swimming so she had slipped on her black bikini, jeans and a t-shirt. Now she stepped lightly as she went down the stairs and turned to the door which would lead her to the pool. She knew that it was entirely irrational to go for a midnight swim in this place particularly for a lone human but she was too hyped up to not do anything.

Marcela pushed open the door, shivering at the blast of cold air rushing in. Yet another reason she shouldn’t go swimming but… she was focused on that now. Marcela knew she wouldn’t get any rest whatsoever if she turned back now. Her large, thin t-shirt whipped around her slender frame causing Marci to frown, wrapping her arms around herself. Still, she padded across the grounds, smiling when she caught sight of the pool.

Marci walked around to the deep end of the pool, slowly peeling off her t-shirt and jeans along the way. The chilly air made goose bumps appear on her skin making her slightly giddy, for some reason Marci had always relished cold weather. Summer, while fun, was sweltering, oppressively claustrophobic almost. Her feet arched onto her toes and she raised her arms above her head. For a moment she remained there poised. For once her face was clear of the usual harried excitement, her eyes empty of the numbness that was always there but that she tried so desperately to hide. The scars on her stomach and arms seemed to glimmer in the silver light of the moon. Then, the moment was over and she sprang lightly upward, her body arching surprisingly gracefully into the inky water. Surfacing Marci realized it didn’t feel quite as cold in the water as it did outside. Smiling she swam a lap before returning to the deep end. She sighed happily looking out onto the grounds.

“Hmm, this is nice.”

Juliet's Outfit

Night had been Juliet's favorite time of the day. Probably because she did almost everything at night. She snuck out at night, she partied at night, she ate a day's worth of food every night, and of course, she got high at night. But all this happened because she had insomnia. She grew up with it and hated living with it because it always made her tired during the day during classes, therefore she fell asleep often. Surprisingly she was an outstanding student. But she has had a lot of visits by the ruler of doom everytime she was caught snoring on her desk. But luckily enough, Juliet skipped classes at least two days every month. You could say Juliet had a strange sleep pattern.

The hallways seemed so quiet, Juliet did not like that. But she couldn't help it, her iPod died and needed to charge while she was out. So she walked aimlessly around the school until she heard the pitter patter of feet.
"What the hell was that?" She asked herself. Then she saw a shadow pass her, "Oh, shit." She cried. But Juliet was pretty confident that whatever it or who it was she could take it on if it tried to cause harm to her. But she wanted to investigate before conjuring up any spells. She followed the shadow and the pitter patters until it went outside. "It's way too cold. Oh, well." She whispered to herself.

She found a human swimming in the pool, "Crazy human. They're so stupid." She said softly as she watched Marci make a lap. After watching her rest at the deep end, Juliet wanted to say hi. But she wanted to say hi with a little oomf. So Juliet did a invisibilty spell. As she walked around the pool, her feet made NO sound what so ever. She was like a ninja! Finally making it behind Marci. "BOO!" She yelled with laughter.

Marcela treaded the inky water, her fingers swirling patters absently. The cold water kept her from drifting back into a fog but she was already getting bored. The numbness had already started creeping back on her, just like it always did. She could never escape this cat and mouse game she played. Adrenaline pushing away the numbness briefly, only to be pulled back into it’s gripping embrace.

She considered returning to her dorm but stayed in the water. She didn’t really want to return to her room, she just wanted something to spice up the night. A loud BOO echoed behind her and Marci spun around to face the person who had made the sound only to find no one there. I suppose the Fates wanted me to have a more interesting night too. She thought amusedly, gazing outward into the darkness.

“Hello...” She called out into the night. She had no idea if someone was hiding or using some sort of supernatural talent to make themselves invisible but it didn’t hurt to try. She was bored and this new person could provide the exact distraction necessary.
