Homework. While most kids loathed doing it, Melina actually didn't mind. She had always loved everything about school. She loved teachers, homework, group assignments, tests. Okay well maybe not tests, but everything else she had always enjoyed about school. Well, she no longer loved teachers. She didn't even like doing group assignments anymore because she really preferred to be alone more than anything else. The homework though...the homework was still something that she didn't mind doing. Anything that helped her stop thinking about her current situation was actually alright with her. Especially now.

Right about now, all the kids back at her old school would be getting ready for the annual Back-To-School Dance. She had gone last year and had a blast. She was both glad and upset that she wouldn't be attending it this year though. On the one side, she envied all of her old friends. Their only cares at the moment were who they were taking, what they would wear, the hairstyle they would sport. She wanted that again. She wanted to feel like a normal teenager. On the on the other hand, she knew that even if she was at home at this very moment, she still wouldn't be worrying about the same things that her old group was worrying about. She would be in her room crying because she knew there was no way she could step foot in the school dance. Everyone at school hated her and the night would no doubt be just another night of living hell.

So instead, Melina tried to take comfort in the fact that she wouldn't have to deal with the drama and hell that was her old school. And at the moment she also tried to wrap her head around her geometry homework as she sat outside at one of the picnic tables. She had always hated Math. She hummed softly to the music that was coming through her iPOD earphones. She was listening to Corinne Bailey Rae's Paper Doll. "Many words that have been spoken. Cut me out like paper dolls. Made me into something different. Something I could not dissolve. So far over don't their words slow ya," she sang with the music, completely unaware of anything that was going on around her.

Anthony sighed. He knew he had homework to do. He hadn't really been in school for a while. While he was good at it, he had lost interest in it. He had lost interest in most things since his parents died. It was a slow process, but one that had completed itself before someone decided to 'do' something about it. No one cared until he decided to step up for a girl and help her. Then everything he had done to help himself was taken from him. People threatened to put him in jail. But instead he ended up at a school for 'broken' kids. He didn't view himself as broken.

Anthony looked around as he walked from his cabin. He knew he couldn't just stay in there forever. He came across and area with picnic tables. His eyes scanned the people at them. They then fell on a girl sitting alone. He guessed that table would be ok. He didn't think he fit in with most people around here so he didn't really wanna sit with a group of people. He moved to the table. The girl seemed to have her head phones in. He put his hand down in front of her and sort of waved to get her attention. It usually was no use talking, no one could hear you with those things in. He waited to see if she'd look up to see him.

Melina was so wrapped up in her geometry homework that she didn't even notice anyone come up to her. She was steadily thinking that it might just be a good idea to go and ask her math teacher for help. Yeah maybe that was the best thing or her to do at the moment. Then again she was almost positive that the teacher was in another class at the moment. Damn. That was out of the question then. Guess she was on her own for the moment. She was just about to hit the skip button when she saw a hand wave in front of her face. She jumped, scared out of her mind, and looked up.

In front of her was a guy that she hadn't really seen before. Was he new? She guessed he could be. Or could be one of the veterans. It wasn't as if she knew a lot of people here. Either way, it was obvious that he wanted her attention. She just wasn't quite sure why. She slipped her earphones out of her ears and looked up at him shyly. "Sorry. You kind of scared me." She pushed her bangs out of her face and bit her lip nervously.

Anthony watched as she jumped a little. He didn't mean to scare her. He just thought he'd be polite and ask if it was ok to sit down at her table. He didn't want to crowd her space. He wasn't sure why she was here and he didn't really want to upset her or deal with a over reaction. It wasn't something he felt he could handle today. He wasn't really feeling up to par and if he could be sleeping right now he'd probably be laying down. His drug with drawls were painful and he ached for the high he once had.

"Sorry. You kind of scared me."

Anthony saw her take her headphones out of her ears. She looked at tad bit nervous. "Sorry ... I didn't mean to scare you" His eyes took in her image. He did that with everyone. He used to be so good at reading people. But the people here were really good at hiding they're secrets. "Is it cool if I ah .. sit?" His hand gestured to the table she was sitting at. He wasn't very comfortable with not being able to read anyone.

Hunter Or Eli as he preferred to be called was strolling around theres was nothing really to do if he was back home he would most likely be in the streets chillen with his gang and geting in trouble or just geting high somewhere either way any where was better then here. He had been in Horizon for 3 yrs and was known as a vet and well pretty much known around the whole facility. Mostly for getting in trouble. He couldnt help it geting in trouble was the only thing he knew how to do well and then there was school work he was actually smart but chose to show that side of him the nerdy side as he would say. Eli was never much to be part of the school society mostly because well he didnt like to follow rules he marched to the beat of his drum and nobody else.

Eli decided to take a stroll and maybe actually do some homework he walk near the pinic area and two people there a girl which he reconzied from his math class and some guy he really didnt know much of either. He walked passed them rapping to the song he was listening to on his i-pod You are now listening to the all-time phenomenal
Used to bag work in VA at Econo Lo
Now I’m layin’ out at the Delino though
But don’t get it twisted, the Uzi’s in the liner, no
Hollow tip, dum-dums, and flesh like piranhas know
Such a scary thing to hear the souls sing Geronimo
Pull up in the CL, the ship’s astronomical
Hoes linin’ up on the curb, they fall like dominoes
Used to have this white Chick, she looked like Madonna though
Heard that she Messin’ LeBron, but shit, I don’t know
Like that, Bron-Bron? I had that long time ago
Butt-nekkid, on the balcony at the Dallino
I mean the Delano, I mean Pharrell’ll know
The head shop bitch from DC? Hey, P, let ‘em know
(Yeah, that Chick was hot, Dog) But it was time to go
Them hoes come in eeny, meeny, minie moe

He sat down a table away from where they sat as he took out his geo book and his notebook you could literally see dust on his mathbook because this was the very first time he would actually open it. He flipped around and got to where the assigment was he took a pen out and began to do the work still rapping to the song he was listen to bopping his head
Mami, you miss me, don’t you?
Haters, wish you could hit me, don’t you?
(Heh) You should call me uncle
I understand, I’m back by popular demand
That new CL slide
Outside of Popeyes, eatin’ chicken and fries
(Word up) Yeah, come holla at your uncle
I understand, I’m back by popular demand

Melina looked at the guy standing in front of her. He was looking at her kind of funny. It made her feel a bit self-concious. Then again, everything made her feel that way these days. After what seemed like forever to her, he said, [i[Sorry ... I didn't mean to scare you. Is it cool if I ah .. sit?

[/i] Melina looked taken aback. He wanted to sit. There. With her. "Umm...yeah sure go ahead," she said nodding. Why anyone would ever want to sit with her was something she was something she really didn't have an answer for. He probably just didn't have anyone else to sit with. Convinced that he wasn't going to try and make conversation with her, she made a motion to put her earphones back in when she noticed a guy that she did actually recognize.

He was pretty tall and seemed laid back. He was in her geometry class. Actually, a lot of people knew him since he was always causing trouble. What was his name? Hunter? Yep she was sure that was it. Wait....he had jumped down somebody's throat during the last class for calling him that. ELI! That was what he wanted to be called. She heard him rapping and then watched him walk over to a nearby table and open up his geometry book. She wondered if he'd get upset if she asked for his help. There was only one way to find out. Maybe if she didn't outright ask for it. "Hey," she said looking over in his direction. "Eli right? You were just rapping Popular Demand by Clipse right"[/size][/blockquote]

Eli was just about done when he looked up and saw Melina right there "Hey," "Eli right? You were just rapping Popular Demand by Clipse right"
He took off his headphones and shook his head Yea im Eli and yea it was. Was up arent you from math class right....umm damn ma bad ma im no good with names he said to her as he put his i-pod on pause and looked at her he thought she was actually very cute and could figure what she would be in here for but sooner then later he would find out. Now Eli was no dumb one he knew her name he just played like he didnt know. If there was one thing Eli was good at and that was flirting even in here it didnt fail him. He took at her and waited for her to answer before he spooke again while he waited he went back and finish the last 2 problems and shut the book

Yea im Eli and yea it was. Was up arent you from math class right....umm damn ma bad ma im no good with names Melina nodded at his response. That's exactly what she thought. Well the part about the song. She was into all types of music, but hip-hop was definitely at one of her top favorites. "Oh, I'm Melina. And yeah, I'm in your math class." She wasn't surprised to hear him say he couldn't remember her name. That was actually what she was expecting him to say. She looked down at her shoes, noticing a slight scuff and leaned down to wipe it off. Pushing her hair out of her face again she looked back up at him.

"So, I was wondering if you wanted to come sit over here with me," she said gesturing towards the table that she, and now anthony, was sitting at. "I could really use some help with the math homework because...well I just plain suck at math." She let a smile play on her lips and then quickly added, "But only if you want to. You don't have to. I mean I didn't mean to bother you, I just...." she placed her and over to mouth to stop herself from talking. She tended to ramble when she was nervous. "Sorry about the rambling. Nervous habit."

He couldn't help but let out a smile when she spoke and asked him to help her out with math. Eli wasn't one to help but he couldn't help but nod in agreement he got up "cute" he said in a very cool tone "yea i'll help you i dnt wanna intrude with you and homeboy over there" he said looking at anthony. "but of you really want my help then im all yours" He got up and put his stuff back in hos bookbag and slug it over his shoulder as they began to walk towards the table "so....melina right....what have you hear about me and tell me the truth i aint gonna get mad i promise" he said letting out a small grin as they kept walking eli decided to make this a good moment to get to know her for a bit and get to see what her story was. He took off the other ear piece out and shut his i-pod off and shoved it in his pocket while he waited for her to answer his question. It was always fun to hear what people had to say about eli and since she was new it was more fun since he knew people from the outside spoke about him so he had to know what the streets where saying.

Anthony nodded at her gesture and sat down. He had homework of his own. Some writing assignment a counselor had given him for mouthing off. Something about two pages on his feelings. He could sum it all up in five words. 'Leave me the fuck alone.' That's how he felt. But for the moment he figured he'd do it. He really didn't want to get extra chores added on to the ones he already had. The girl he sat with, he heard her say her name was Melina. She was talking to someone about math homework. He used to excel in school. Could have been in the top of his class. He pulled himself from his thoughts and saw the boy walking to sit with them. He really didn't like the homeboy comment. He wasn't any one's homeboy, especially his. But he kept himself quiet. Just sorta giving him a look for his choice of words. He then focused on his note book.

Melina couldn't help but blush when he said cute. She didn't know whether or not he was calling her cute in particular, but it didn't matter. She wasn't going to ask him. What if he said that he wasn't referring to her when he had said cute. That would be beyond embarrassing and if it was one that the Melina hated, it was definitely being embarrassed. Yea i'll help you i dont wanna intrude with you and homeboy over there, but of you really want my help then im all yours. "Yes! Thank you so much. I seriously suck at math so you're doing me like a really big favor here. And don't worry, you're not intruding." Okay she wasn't entirely sure if that was true or not. She didn't really know Anthony that well but from the look on his face when Eli had called him homeboy, he wasn't very happy. She hoped she wasn't about to get in the middle of some guy drama.

so....melina right....what have you hear about me and tell me the truth i aint gonna get mad "I haven't really been here all that long. Just a little over a month. I here you get into trouble a lot, but that's about it. I'm not really big on gossip. Bad experience with it." she said as she sat down at the table she was now sharing with both Anthony and Eli. It was true, she used to love gossip, until she became a victim of it. Then, gossiping wasn't so much fun.

Melina turned to Anthony. She wasn't sure if he wanted to be left alone or not. He hadn't said much since he sat down, but then again, he hadn't been sitting there for long. She would at least try to pull him into the conversation. She hadn't been very talkative lately, but she figured she would hate to be left out of a conversation if she were sitting at the table and those two were just talking and ignoring her. Maybe he felt the same. Hi, I don't think I introduced myself. I'm Melina. This is Eli. she said gesturing to herself first and then to Eli. She looked ddown at the sheet of paper he was writing and bit her bottom lip. "Do you mind if I ask what you're working on?"

"Hi, I don't think I introduced myself. I'm Melina. This is Eli. Do you mind if I ask what you're working on?"

Anthony's eyes moved to her then to Eli as she introduced them. He wasn't really expecting a conversation. "Tony" He figured it only polite to introduce himself to them since she had to him. He noticed her eyes were on his paper as she asked what he was working on. "A writing assignment ... My first punishment for hitting a counselor .. They say I got off easy this time .. I'm supposed write two pages front and back on the way I feel .. bunch of bullshit" His eyes moved from his paper back to her and the boy that was sitting next to her. It looked to him like she was struggling with her math homework assignment. He was really good in math. Its one of those things that no matter how high he had gotten he was still good at. His eyes focused on her book.

[hunter]

Eli sat there as melina sat there and spoke to toni. As he was saying how he was wrtitting a paper for punching a consuler. Eli couldnt help but chuckle...."damn only a 2 page paper for punching shyt i had to do time when i did that my first time what the hell they goung soft now a days" eli thought to himself. But he couldnt do anything but sit there and listen he was quickly bored and put his earbud back in and turned on his i-pod and bop his head as the song was going on......he noticed toni looking at the math book and could tell he was smart but tried to play the im tought gonna kick your ass type of persona which in some ways worked but eli could see throught it easily since well he played that same game. Eli looked around as some of his friends saw him and called out "YO ELI" yelled one of his friends as eli looked towards his direction and quickly left his bookbag on the table and walked over to them as they all slapped hands.

They began to talk eli wasnt as concern with helping melina since it looked like toni knew his shyt so he talked and joked with them for awhile. "yo eli spit some fire son i got this new beat and i wnat you to kill it" one of the guy said as he took out his i-pod and speakers and turned it on as they all gathered around eli and the music began to play. Everyody began to bump there heads to the music as eli stood there quiet thinking before finally speaking

"Yo..Check it its like this....IN DA MIDDLE OF A WAR SMOKIN DA SES
