Psychology : July

[Jacelyn Winters]

Jacelyn sat at her desk, her fingers tapping along the wood grain top as she nibbled upon her lower lip softly. She had been pretty busy as of late, what with students being sent to her office every hour on the hour. She knew that they were problem students, but honestly she didn't think that her talking to them was going to do much good.

But, whatever...today was yet another class, and as she looked over the roster, she took note that there were a few familiar names on there. Mostly the shy girl who had been a little bit of a bitch to her toward the end of class last time and her supposed cousin whom she had made such a point of defending. Not like it had really phased Jace, though she had to wonder why the girl thought it was needed to defend Cael of all people. He didn't strike Jace as the type that needed it, however, she supposed it made his ego that much bigger to know that the girl would.

But that was beside the point. Hopefully this class would go a bit more smoothly than the last and things would be easier between her and her students.

Her attire today, no different than what she wore on any other day. A pair of jeans, a bright pink tank top with black stripes and a pair of lace up boots on her feet. Oh, and of course a pair of pink black kitty ears atop her head. Not her own, mind you, but one of the many kitty ear headbands that she wore. She did so love her kitty ears.

Glancing at the clock, she would sit up a bit more, noting that it was about time for class to start. Which was good, she was getting rather bored and ready to get this show on the road.

[kazue]

Kazue got up bright and early. It was technically her first day of school and the young girl had hardly slept due to nerves. She had psychology class today, which made her mother very happy. Her mother for some reason thought that being in this class would give her daughter a better chance at seeing the people she needed to be wary of. Silk put too much stalk in school for her daughter, despite hardly attending it herself. The half Spanish half Japanese girl could smell her mother cooking breakfast and smiled.

She brushed her long black wavy locks and placed them in very neat pigtail braids. She had laid out her clothes for the day and was able to change quickly. A long ankle length tie-dye black and green skirt with a green t-shirt that said "Bazinga!" in comic book style lettering. She slipped her feet into small black ballet flats and grabbed the purse her mother had made for her out of hemp and beads. The design on the bag was of green leaves. She liked to match if it wasn't obvious enough.

Rushing from her room she ran to the kitchen and joined her mother at the breakfast table. Silk was still wearing her pajamas and had a serious case of bed head but neither girl cared. They ate breakfast and discussed Kazue's day at school and how she was to call if there was any trouble. Silk worried about sending Kazue to a public high school. She didn't want the young girl getting hurt and public high schools could be hellish places. Silk would know. It wasn't long before the two women set out. Silk would drop Kazue off outside the school. Kazue wasn't like most kids and telling her mother to park a mile from the school. No, Kazue was proud to be dropped off in her mother's monster truck.

"Bye Kazue, have a great day. Remember, any t-"
"I know mom! I'll call. Love you!"

And just like that, Kazue jumped out of the monster truck, landed with grace and bolted for the school doors. Silk drove off to tend to the rest of her day, despite still being in her pajamas. Kazue ran all the way to her first class terrified of being late. She reached the door and wrenched it open rather quick. Looking a little flushed she entered and smiled happily.

"Hi. I'm Kazue. Sorry if I'm late!"

The young girl breathed though taking a look around the class... it looked like if anything she may have been on time. A blush appeared on her cheeks and she quickly took a seat so as to not look any more foolish.

[Ryu Hikari]

Ryu walked down the hallway, his book bag held over his right shoulder, his other hand holding onto a book on Japanese weapons. Once he reached the classroom, he walked in and finally looked up from his book. He then turned and headed towards the two rows of desk/seat combination located in the middle, in front of the teacher's desk, and was the second one to arrive.

"Good morning Ms. Winters."

Ryu said, making his way to his seat and sat down in the second seat in the right row, beside Kazue. He then pulled out his binder and pencil bag that he had used in his old junior high school, and placed his book bag down on the ground before leaning back in his chair and smirking slightly at her. So, class in the summer... fun times.

[Kazumi O'Connor]

She honestly didn't know why she was taking this class again. Last time had not gone well, at least not toward the end of it. Sure, she had started out being a bit shy, sitting in the back of the class and minding her own business with Patrick, but then the dumb ass teacher had to go and insult Cael. Not that he wasn't perfectly capable of defending himself, but Kazumi was rather defensive over her family, even him and his giant freaking ego. To this day, she wasn't sure if he still liked her, but she still remembered being younger and him treating her better than her own brother had at first. Even had that silly nickname for her....Granted, he was the only one that she ever really allowed to call her that, but yeah...nickname just the same.

Sighing softly, she would make her way toward the class. She was definitely starting to show now, no longer able to hide the fact that she was pregnant. Dressed in simple pink dress, she ran her hand over her rather pronounced baby bump, her dark locks spilling around her shoulders in soft waves. Deep blue eyes would glance down at the floor as she nudged the toe of her boot against the tiled floor.

Yeah, she was literally dragging her feet, not sure how this class was going to go, but certain if her dear cousin was in it, things would not be good. Not to mention Patrick had been gone for a few days now, at least and she was not liking that one bit. The dark circles under her eyes that she tried to hide with makeup evidence that her sleep pattern had been seriously disrupted.

Eventually, she would get to the class though, walking through the door and casting a glance toward the teacher, eyes narrowing slightly. Though she didn't say anything, instead just turned and headed toward her usual seat in the back, a little smile and nod given to Ryu in the process. Not really saying anything, but then that was just how Kazumi was for the most part.

As she took a seat, she would pull her spiral and pen out of her bag, tossing them up onto her desk. She hated summer school.....with a passion. But, after being out so often with all her personal issues.....she really didn't have a choice. A little frustrated sigh given as she would slouch down into her seat as much as her belly would allow, both hands falling to rest upon such...Now just waiting for class to start.

[Cael Seran]

So yeah... Cael wasn't planning on showing up to class at any time soon. Instead he simply chose to strutt about the school campus with his hands situated in his pockets marching about the halls. Unfortunately the amount of attractive honies had gone down a bit so his endeavors had a much higher requirement cap that he was still working out. It was all the more of a challenge was it not?

Lamenting the last class where he'd been picked on by Mrs. Winters he scoffed silently into the air thinking of how much she must be missing him only to draw forth a small wavering grin of endearment. Their little game heating up a bit and the slight regret not going to class on time but knowing how well his game would fare if he fell nefariously into her spider web. As for Kazumi, he had to put the girl in her place for making him out to be a weakling. Cael could stand up for himself and would make that point very clear.

A smirking gesture before slamming his locker shut only to hear the loud echo receed down the halls and his feet carry slowly through them to the second floor.

[Aryanna Katashi]

Summer school? Really? That was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard of, and yet, here she was. A growl erupting from her a she climbed the stairs toward the psychology lass hallway. Dressed in a pair of converse sneakers, a pair of torn up denim jeans (designed to look old but actually brand freaking new) and a white tank top. Other than her usual makeup and her hair being pulled back, she was not putting any effort into how she looked today.

Why should she? The only guy in this school that she even thought was worth her time now treated her like she was yesterday's garbage, or well, he tried to. The little mental mind game that they had going on more than likely suggesting that he was doing it to gain the upper hand, yet again. Well, two could play at that game and so, she was done messing around with Mr. Cael Seran. Nope, she was just going to ignore him just as much as he did her...and she was taking Margaret with her in this little "divorce" of sorts.

Sure, she still kind of liked him. But that was beside the point. Point was, she wasn't going to let him or any other guy play the ownership card on her ass. The thought making her stomach turn a bit, though she ignored it and would step through the door to the class room. A glance around at the student's there, none of them really standing out to her other than the Varsity Captain and that other pillar....whichever one he was. Neither of them people she would really care to associate with. So instead she would slide her bag from her shoulder and move to take a seat on the far right of the class, directly beside the windows. Her bag dropped at her feet she would sigh, already bored and wanting to go home. Her fingers lightly tapping upon the desk as she waited for this show to get on the road. Or however that went.

[Azura]

Hm, Psychology. They really taught this stuff in high school? Sure, she had a decent education during her time in the lab, but that had only been because of the fact that the doctor wanted to test her intelligence level. All the other kids had pretty much gone without. Kids like Raven. Though, that is not to say that Azura had not attempted to teach him as much as she possibly could, though every time they gave him another shot, it seemed to wipe out a little more of his intellect.

No matter, she still loved him, hence why she was here in the first place. Wearing a pretty little yellow and black flowered dress, she would make her way down the hallway, seemingly unnoticed by the other students that bustled about in attempts to get to class on time.

Azura had no such concerns. One, she didn't get out of one prison to live by the rules of another, and two, it wasn't like these classes really mattered to her in the end. This place would be a pile or rubble by the time she was done, and the teacher she was about to see would be lucky to be alive. Though now was not the time for such thoughts. No, she needed to focus on being a good student and doing what she had to do in order to get her job done.

And for now, that was pretending to fit in.

So, with her messenger bag tugged up onto her shoulder, she merrily weaved in and out of oncoming "traffic" as she neared the classroom which supposedly was her next course, eyes glancing up at the number above the door to confirm as she made a mental note of how many students were here during what was supposed to be summer break. Her mind always double tasking it seemed, never quite able to sit still.

As she stepped into the class, she would look around, taking note of who was in here. As of right now, she had no names on anyone, but that was going to change quick enough. Still, it would help to have the faces committed to memory for later when she was able to break into the file system. Something she had not been able to do until she found the correct office, which she had managed earlier today.

A bright smile curled upon her lips, she would give a little, cheerful wave to the teacher and then move to take a seat at the front of the class against the far right wall, currently the only one in her section, which was just fine and dandy with her.

Sliding her bag off, she would pull out a pen and notebook, figuring those were the typical supplies needed for this class. Anything else she would have to borrow, which was good, it would give her a legitimate reason to talk to others without standing out too badly. For now however she would lean back in her seat and idly begin to twist a lock of red hair about her finger, waiting for class to start as her legs crossed beneath her desk and one foot began to idly tap out a rhythm in the air where it dangled.

[Michael Cypren]

Michael was running late, still fishing out his books from beneath the bathroom stalls leaking with a wet sort of toilet-y feel to them he'd scamper his way into the room damp with his own sort of perspiration. Gray tee-shirt soaking at all the right places; neck, pits, front of chest. His pants sweaty to match as well. So slick were his features that his glasses slipped to the very tip of his nose hankering to fall off.

"Sorry I'm lat..."

Jaw dropping to hit the floor with his wet dream standing right in front of him. Hot teacher pornos played in his mind as she moved making those playful little words all the pornos said.

"Teach me good..."

Panting ensued and a heavy breath wavered as he shuffled to his seat picking the back row this time. He never picked back row seats, he was always up in front but today Michael had to "keep from being the fool."

"chuuuuu-huuuuu-guuuuuhhh-huuuuuhh"

His breath would play in a steady tune.

[Jacelyn Winters]

Jace would glance at the clock and then at the door, noting which students came through and which didn't....Not that surprised that Cael wasn't here. She had been rather rude to him last class period, but to be honest, he had deserved it. Yet she could not help but feel that she was failing as a therapist due to the fact that she had made absolutely no lead way with him what so ever.

Though, just as the thought crossed her mind, a couple new students would come through the door. A little nod given to each one, especially those that could be bothered to greet her. However as the last one came running through the door, looking like he had just run a marathon of sorts, she raised her brow. His words cut short, he seemed to lose his train of thought and her first thought, was that he had simply been thrown off by her awesome kitty ears.

None the less, he would move to take a seat and she would turn to address the class, figuring that Cael would get here when he got here. "Okay class, today's topic is psychopathy. I am going to go ahead and cut right to the point today, so maybe we can get through class today without so many distractions."

Moving back, she would hop up onto her desk, taking a seat with her legs dangling over the edge and her hands clasping the edge....Eyes scanning over the students in their seats. "Who can give me the definition of the word as well as tell me some of the symptoms?" Might as well get straight into the subject right? Eyes glancing toward the little asian boy, seeing as how it had become clear he always had an answer for everything last class. She just figured he would be the first to answer this time as well.

[kazue]

Kazue blinked seeing Ryu come in and he greeted the teacher. When he sat down near her she would blush and look away. What a silly fool she was being. He was her brother after all. Her attention would shift as she watched person after person come in. Well, really only a sweaty looking boy and two girls came in but who was keeping count? Kazue... Kazue was. The teacher would begin the class and Kazue would open her notebook. It took her a moment before she realized her teacher was wearing cat ears. Once this dawned on her she had to look at the teacher again. For a moment... Kazue just stared with confusion and then she seemed to move past it. Admittedly, her mother has worn weirder things.

The woman asked about Psychopathy and Kazue's slender arm shot up so quick her pigtails flew behind her instead of laying neatly in front of her.

"Psychopathy is a personality disorder often characterized by shallow emotions. The emotions range from things as little as fear to anti-social behaviors. It is also derived from the Greek word 'Psyche' which means soul and pathos which means suffering, disease, and condition."

It was here that Kazue blinked and lowered her arm. A blush crept to her cheeks. Not because she sat beside Ryu but because she realized she had just introduced her self as the nerd or geek of the classroom. How lovely for your first class. Everyone wants to be considered a know it all. She would smile sheepishly at the teacher and return to jotting the notes of what she had just said into her book. She didn't want to miss anything, including her own words. A little neurotic isn't she? Yes... Yes she is.

[Ryu Hikari]

A bit of a blank look on Ryu's face as Kazue blushed and looked away from him, what did he do? She was his adoptive half-sister, so naturally he'd sit beside family, right? Of course, it would've been easier if said adoptive half-sister didn't also happen to be his crush. But, he was trying to get over his crush. Emphasis on trying. Seeing Kazumi come in after him, followed by a girl that resembled his Aunt Kevala through however means (or black magic), then another girl he never seen or met before, and lastly, the Lead Editor himself, poor, sweaty, Michael, class would begin.

Kazue's hand immediately shooting straight up beside him, nearly knocking Ryu in the head, he'd immediately jerk a bit away from her, that was close, he had felt the wind from how fast her arm had shot up. Raising his own hand after Kazue had answered, he'd answer once he was called on.

"Psychopathy, or psychopathic personality, is also marked by dishonesty, manipulativeness, self-centeredness, and risk-taking. Typically, psychopaths are not psychotic, they are rational, and they know full well that their irresponsible actions are morally wrong; they just don't care."

Glancing briefly over at Kazue, hopefully with his answer, she wouldn't feel as embarrassed to sound like a nerd or geek or a know-it-all, since Ryu himself had given a pretty detailed answer.

[Cael Seran]

Gesturing slowly through the halls Cael didn't linger on the idea of class knowing well enough that he wasn't going to make it before the timing bell... *Riiiiiinnngg* and there it was. A smooth grin before making it towards the class lingering out the door and wavering at the handle thinking whether or not he should take in.

The boy would linger at the door a number of minutes before slinking in. Boredom it would seem was much more prevolent when you were trying to wait it out. "Aye sexy." A casual wave and wink to Mrs. Winters keeping his compliments casual as though he had no regard for the rules of adult-student relations.

Marching on Cael would take a seat behind Aryanna playing idly with a strand of her hair through his hand. Thats right he was playing her on a little bit too. Everyone round here was so sexy, glad he had his pick and choose of them all.

[Aryanna Katashi]

Aryanna really didn't bother to answer, she was not in the mood to. She didn't want to be here so why the hell would she bother to participate? She couldn't think of one. A little sigh passing her lips as she propped her chin up on her hand and let her eyes look around the room with a hint of boredom dancing across her expression.

Then, as Cael made his way into the class, she would roll her eyes at his comment toward the teacher. She knew all too well how he was with women and she had fallen victim to it way too easily. Though to be honest, she couldn't really blame him, the boy was gorgeous and he knew it. However even she thought that it wouldn't kill him to learn a little humility.

Yet, without even missing a beat, he would take up a seat behind her, his hand idly toying with a lock of her hair and causing her to shiver softly despite herself. "Nice to see you too Cael." Speaking lowly in that French accent as she would continue to keep her eyes forward, though leaning back in her seat, if for no other reason than to grant him easier access to toy with her hair if he so desired.

[Azura]

Azura kept her eyes upon those around her whenever she found herself able to do so without looking too suspicious. A little note taken in about each as they began to answer the teacher, simply taking into account how each of them answered and how each of them interacted with all the other students.

Then, through the door would come yet another and she would grin at the way in which he spoke to the teacher. Those hazel eyes following him as he took a seat behind the dark haired girl and began to toy with her hair. Ah, lady's man it seemed. Well, that just meant that he had something to back it up, or else he was really just fooling himself, which meant he was in denial. Either way, it was interesting. As for the other two...well it seemed that they had a bit of a nervous air about them, as though they were having to control themselves...perhaps? She couldn't quite place it, but the tension created by them could be cut with a knife.

Another mental note taken before she would glance toward the teacher, not bothering to offer up an answer given that the other two had pretty much covered everything and she was not here to try and stand out but instead blend in, not exactly direct attention to herself unless it was absolutely needed.

[Jacelyn Winters]

She would nod at the answers which she received, not really have been expecting much different from those two. As for the rest of the class, well she supposed they didn't have anything left to say at this point. Though before she would be able to ask another question, Cael would finally make his appearance, his words to her getting a little sigh as she would simply nod her head toward him and then try and get her focus back on the class.

Though the fact that he sat behind Aryanna and began to play with her hair would not go unnoticed. A little glance given to the gesture before she would shake her head and clear her throat, jerking herself away from the thought and back to what she was doing....Teaching.

"Yes, that is correct. Now, who can tell me some of the early warning signs that most psychologists look for?" It was a very wide arrange of things, but there were some that seemed to hold true to most of them, dating back to early childhood. She was just curious to see if the class would be able to get them right.....Though to be honest, her eyes would drift back toward Cael and Aryanna every now and again, especially once the girl leaned back...However she at least tried to make it seem as though she was just watching the class like any teacher would.
