"Nice to make your aquaintance..." Yuzuki said. She was nervous of John, though Edie seemed (Draws a blank on what to say there....:doh:). She inched just a little closer to Edward.

((She's just nervous....After all, everyone has been mistreating her all her life and now suddenly a knight in shining....ummmm....what is Edward wearing? o[]O LOL! and then another person appears and another, so yeah she's gonna be a little nervous. lol.

((BigC, Edie's full name is Kennedie, not Edward.))

Edie laughed as she danced away from Edward's kick and pulled up next to John, "Hey John! Have you met Yuzuki? Yuzuki, this is John. He's the nutcase that comes only second to me!" Edie fell back to walk beside Yuzuki, "As you can tell I'm the spazz of the group."

John laughed before sticking his tongue at Edie. "At least I'm not always a showoff like someone else I know," he said before looking at Yuzuki. "Hey, calm down, no one is going to hurt you anymore while we're around you. Hey, I actually have an idea, we could take turns trying to make Yuzki laugh, it helped me when my dad left and never came back, so it might work for her," he said with a smile.

"Hmm....." Edward thought.

"Yuzuki." he said. He waited for her to turn around. When she did (because she would, of course) he stuck his tounge out. The odd expression did not go well with his unexpresive face, so he looked more scary than funny.

"'Ow's 'his?" he asked for approval.

"Yeah, whatever....." Edward said, his tounge conventiently out of sight, a small blush forming on his face.

Edward had always been considered "wonderfully attractive" by most of the girls at school. He had light bronze hair that he always parted to the left. He said it his some of his unsightly curls, an odd effect that happened when his hair grew too long--now his hair did not look weird. Instead, it looked more natural, aside from the part that held a large tuft of hair to the left, and a smaller tuft to the right.

Edward had "piercing green" eyes that girls said made them feel giddy. The girls absolutely loved Valentine's Day--it was an excuse to tell all their secret desires to marry Edward in plain sight with dozens of chocolates, despite Edward's protests. He was allergic to chocolate, so he normally stayed away from any sweets.

Edward immediately became friends with Edie when she ran into Edward and introduced herself on the first day of school--quite literally, knocking him to the ground. Although her weird antics and "shopping trips" usually caused Edward some sort of pain, he couldn't leave her--Edie considered herself Edward's "funny half that actually knows how to smile", poking fun at Edward's seriousness. He enjoys laughing, but he likes to get everything done before then.

He removed his dark black jacket, and draped it over his arm. He wore a dark blue T-shirt, and jeans as he walked into the musky smelling store behind Edie. He coughed, slightly. There was a man in the corner, huddled over a small bonfire.

"Help yourselves!!" he called to them. Edward sighed. Excellent service.

"Edie, just get your book and leave." he said all to quickly.

Edie skipped ahead straight toward the fiction teen section and grabbed her book. Just to annoy Edward she walked back to the antique books that were way out of her wallet's league. A large leather bound book with the title, "La Libra de Viva" caught her eye. Pulling off the shelf she leafed through the pages as she walked back to Edward, "Well that's lame, this one doesn't even have words! It's like this is meant as a diary or something!" She handed the book to Edward, "Here, you can write your life story in it or something." Edie turned and went to the counter with her book.

"Life story?" Edward asked. He flipped through the pages, and, indeed, all were blank.....Aside from a leafy page close to the back.

"Huh? This one isn't blank.....But, it's in some weird language.....Hmm.....Maybe it's Hebrew.....It doesn't appear to be a modern language." Edward mused. He decided, he was hooked. He wanted to get it, even if it was to be used as a diary.


"Edie, are you ready yet?" he asked.

Edie nodde as she turned back to Edward and Yuzuki and winked. Though she would never have admitted it, she always felt extremely special when Edward would look at her. They had been friends forever and girls envied her relationship with Edward. Almost every month another girl would ask Edie if she would hook them up. And every time Edie would smile and say no. Their parents would always joke Edie was Edward's funny side and Edward was Edie's serious side, two halves of a whole. What was also obvious was Edie's devotion to Edward, what was not obvious was her true feelings for him. Those green eyes, when they met her blue, made her melt.

Bob sat sullenly in the barber chair and the barber went through his routine. Albert had managed to beat him at checkers in the short time it took for the barber to finish the other customer's hair and call Bob. It seemed almost as though Albert was now passing the time by gloating. But Bob wasn't one to hold a grudge - he just didn't like losing.

John pulled out Stranger in a Strange Land, Maximux Ride: The Angel Experiment, The Xenocide Misson, Dragon's Blood, Now You See it...., The Lighting Thief, Fall Of A Kingdom, The Big Empty, Airman, and last but not least Verga's Blessing from the back shelf and put them in a stack, picking them up carefully so no books would fall and began walking back to the front of the store. "Wait up guys," he said with a grunt as he pushed a protruding book back into the stack, "I have a lot of books that I want to buy, and I'll buy it with my own money so you guys don't have to worry."

Deedra sighed. Was it 9 yet? Nope, just 4:30. The line of kids was shorter, which helped, but not much. There was still the challenge of their tempers to deal with, calmly and cheerfully, which added to the task 2-fold. What she wouldn't give for happy patient customers and a raise! Yeah, like that would ever happen. She screamed in her head. She didn't feel ready for so much responsibility and she missed being a kid, when everything was simple. But She had to cope, as she would have to deal with it for the rest of her life, except maybe in a nursing home. She blinked, returning her concentration to her work. "Only 5 1/2 hours left...Good grief, that'll seem like forever!"
