  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

((Sorry I have not been on in! My computer in Florida was barely working at all. I' back in NC now, so everything should return to normal))

Kevin returned Riley's morning cheer with a simple "Sure."

"So, how have your classes been? I'm sorry I have not been too responsive... I do not even know if I am in any of your classes. I have a tendency to be a bit... serious."

((at least we know you're alive. :D))

The two of them entered the caffeteri and sat down at a table. "Yea I can see that." Riley replied, she was having trouble staying awake. "Well, its always hard re-adjusting to a new school, but I'm managing. The Dean is actually going to see me later today." Riley took a sip of her orange juice. "How have you been doing?"

................................................................................

Adam finished his shower, and started headind down stairs for breakfast. He had considered going back to his room to check on Xavier, but he was still angry. Adam often found himself loosing his temper, but that was just him. Adam entered the busy caffeteria and found an empty table in the corner, he sat down by himself.

Kevin entered after Riley into the cafeteria. He easily remained clam, and carefully selected his words, trying to avoid having the commonly present edge of precision or seriousness. He wanted to appear friendly. Yet... he would not sacrifice a single value to do so...

"The Dean? Wow, that is strange... I'm supposed to have a meeting with him after dinner tonight. I've been doing ok. My roomate is still asleep, and I've had no problems with him. His name was Warren, if I am not mistaken."

Kevin mimicked her unintentionally, taking a swig from his coke.

"You ok? You look a little tired."

Kevin was fully alert, as always. He knew how he would appear. Everything on him was perfectly straight. Unwaivering attention, wrinkle-free clothing, simplistic hair style... He was not ashamed of these things. That made success readily attainable. However, he knew how deterrent his personality could be. He was the killer of small talk, and honest to a fault to boot. He was not skilled at all in flattery, and his words often left others feeling challenged or belittled.

He wanted to appear friendly. Yet... he would not sacrifice a single value to do so... Casual conversation with this intent was a mine field that he reluctantly crossed. He detested habitual lyers, yet did not enjoy the scoured looks of those that learned he simply was not interested in their petty affairs... that is to say he was very obdurate, yet not necessarily cruel. He knew the value of friends.

Elya stood at the end of the lunch line and looked for a place to sit. A lot of the tables were filling up quickly and she wanted to sit with... She spotted Riley and that one guy they had talked to on the first day sitting at a table and moved towards them.

"Hey."

Elya nearly jumped at the sound of Warren's voice. He seemed to appear out of nowhere. She had lived with him her whole life and she still wasn't used to the way he could sneak up on people. "Hey Warren. You wanna go sit with Riley and... umm.."

"My roommate."

"He's your roommate? I didn't know that." Elya glanced at Warren. As usual his expression told her nothing. Or more like his lack of expression. "So... do you guys get along?"

Warren shrugged. "We don't hate each other."

Elya rolled her eyes and punched Warren in the arm. Quite a feat while holding a tray and walking at the same time. Warren gave her a teasing grin and slowed down so he was walking behind her. Elya shook her head and set her tray down next to Riley.

"Anybody sitting here?"

"You ok? You look a little tired."

"I am so tired. I'm not exactly what you would call a morning person." Riley laid her head down on the table. She didn't even notice Elya and Warren coming.

"Anybody sitting here?" Elya asked.

"The seats are available, if I'm not mistaken. Riley?"

"What? Riley sat up. Oh, yea, have a seat. Nice to see you two again." Riley said to te twins.

((o.k. no one is really doing anything interesting, so lets move on passed breakfast, to later in the day.))

Riley sat on a smooth wooden bench as she waited to be called into the office. As she waited she began to stare at some of the paintings on te wall. they were all pretty dull. Soon enough the headmaster came out and invited her into his office.
"You can have a seat right over here." He said gesturing toward a chair. Riley sat down across from the man.
"so, why did you want to see me." Riley asked politely.
"Well, i jst wanted to see how you were djusting to life here at the academy." He went on to ask her questions about if her schedual was working out, and if she enjoyed being here. At first Riley answered his questions almost immediately, but then she became less and less interested, and faded off..........

"Riley dear, are you paying attention?"

Riley opened her eyes and everything was blurry for a second then went back to normal. "Oh, I'm sorry. I must have dozed off; i woke up a little early and i'm still kind of tired."

"Well, maybe you should go to sleep a littl earlier. We don't want you sleeping through your classes. Well, if you have any question you like to ask, no would be the time, otherwise were done here."

"No, i dont hav any question. Thank you for meetig with me."

"Thank you for coming." The headmaster showed riley to the door, and she quickly left and headed down the hall. It was so unusual that she dozed off like that. Riley looked down at her rist watch. 5:17 "this thing must be busted, theres no way i was in there for 45 minutes. " Riley cninued down the hall.

........................................................................................................

Adam was bored; there wasn't too mch to do here that amused his sort attention span. He had alot of homeworkto do, but decided he wasn't going to do it today. He always messed it up anyway, so why even bother. So he headed down to the game room; there was a couple of fooseball tables, a ping pong table,a table for card playing and a few other things for entertainment purposes. Adam plopped down on the couch, hooked up the x box, and spent a few hours playing random video games. He looked at the clock, 5: 10. he was pretty bored, so he turned off the x bow and flipped on the television and started channel surfing.

Xavier went up to his room once classes were done. He had spotted Adam heading into the game room and really didn't feel like having another confrontation quite yet. His head was stillthrobbing from that morning.

When he got up to his room, he aw a message from the office on his computer. The headmaster wanted to meet with him tomorrow afternoon. Whatever.

He wondered if anyone else was just hanging around with nothing better to do, so he logged into the school's chat room.

Hey... any1 else as bored as me?? I got nothing 2 do rite now...




>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...

Dani layed on her bed looking at the ceiling when her computer started beeping. She walked over and clicked on the new message icon. There was a message from the office telling her that the headmaster wanted to meet with her again the day after tomorrow to go over some of her classes. She sent back a quick reply telling them that that was fine, then noticed that some guy was asking people to chat. She laughed. Like she'd really want to spend her day chatting with a guy she couldn't even see or hear. Yeah, sounded like fun. She turned off her computer and changed into her swimsuit. The pool had looked pretty cool and she felt like going for a swim.

Kevin sat in the game room, doing nothing but watching. He had little interest in interaction, but amused himself with watching the range of emotion relating to defeat and victory. Upon getting bored, he moved to a couch in front of a simple television, noticing that a guy he didn't know held the remote.

He did not bother with conversation, this guy did not seem the friendly type. Better for Kevin, since he was not a talking type. This quasi-relationship would work just fine right now.

Looking down at his watch, he took note of the time. 5:13... He'd be meeting with the headmaster before long. After the school dined, his appointment he did not ask for would begin.

Elya finished up her e-mail to an old friend and clicked send. She leaned back in her chair trying to decide what to do next. She'd e-mailed her friends, classes were over, she didn't really feel like going to the game room.... Her computer beeped and interrupted her thoughts. Someone was as bored as she was and decided to chat. Why hadn't she thought of that?

I dunno if ur as bored as me, but thnk God for cbs :p

Warren did a flip turn and started another lap of the pool. He had really come to appreciate the facilities at this school. Happily, there never seemed to be many people in the pool. Maybe they didn't think it was the right season? Whatever reason, Warren didn't really care as long as they didn't bug him too much.

((Ok... no progress in almost two weeks, I'll proceed to after dinner))

Kevin walked towards the headmaster's office. He had not met him prior to this moment, but all he wanted to do was get it over with. He gripped the cold doorknob and let himself him.

"Ahh yes, Kevin. How are you liking your stay here? Please, have a seat."

Although he preferred to stand, Kevin obeyed, thinking it may end the meeting sooner.As he sat down, the principals's questions became more and more obscure in his mind until he found himself closing his eyes. Opening them, he was greeted with the same droll smile on the man's face.

"Am I putting you to sleep? You should get some more sleep at night. Tiredness is the recipe for failure in any form of business, including school. Now, you can go. Let me know if you have any difficulty adjusting toyour new scenery."

Kevin hopped to his feet, drudging to the door. He felt unusually heavy. He wondered if he really had fallen asleep... He returned to his room, collapsing on his bed. It had been an unusually long day.
