-Taki- Tell me what's your story

[Phoenix]

~lol I couldn't think of a better title, and i love this song and was listening to it at the time -

Allison was always first in the cafeteria. She was the fastest with getting out of class and putting her books away and getting into the cafeteria. Now because of her super speed.... well maybe it helped a bit, but she always made sure she was moving at a normal pace.

Besides, everyone moved fast after the bell rung. If you hung around too long, you'd be standing in line forever.

Since Allison moved so quickly, she was able to get her lunch and sit down before others came in. Allison, Paige and their friends always ate at the same table. Not only because Allison always managed to beat the crowd, but because people just sort of dubbed their table off limits. Allison didn't care, just as long as she had somewhere to eat.

A few seconds later the doors to the cafeteria burst open and in came the rush of students. Ally saw Paige managed to weave her way, ever so gracefully through the crowd and get in line before it got too long.

Within a couple of minutes, the seats around Allison were filled by her friends, with Paige sitting right beside her as usual. Most of their friends were cheerleaders, with Ally being on the squad, however Paige was not a cheerleader. She had the body and everything for it, but she didn't want to because of the Storm thing, which Ally totally got, but the others accepted Paige as a friend.

Allison looked down at her plate. You'd think being a cheerleader, she'd have to live on a strick diet of salad. Although once a week she did eat a salad, she allowed herself to live off more then that. She was already in shape and she maintained it for the past few years living off the same food of everyone else, so why should she torture herself? Today she had helped herself to a plate of stirfry.

The first few minutes of lunch, she always drowned out everyone else and focused on eating, though when she had finished off about half her lunch she would start tuning into conversations.

Today's gossip as about the new kid. From the sounds of it, he was a few years older, but the school was small enough that word would spread like wildfire until everyone knew the new kid and be able to point him out in a hall.

I've never seen him before, he must be new to Bayville. One of Ally's friends was saying.

I think he's kind of cute. Another one was saying.

Ally didn't join in the conversation right away. She sat up and casually glanced around the cafeteria, searching for the new kid. Soon she spotted someone she didn't recognize (Wasn't sure if he would want to stay in the caf, so i left it open so he can book it out if he wants lol) Is that him? She asked, nodding her head in is direction.

Her friend lookd over at the person Alyl was nodding at. Yah, the kid with dark hair. That's him. He's in one of my classes. He didn't say much. He didn't look like he wanted to be there.

Who wants to be in school? Ally grinned, and it gained her a few laughs from her friends.

It was an obvious choice for Taki to get food from the cafeteria. Not only was his time spent at the school a secret, but there wasn't much for him to take out of the Corporation's fridge anyway and most of the cook's kicked him out every time he stepped in that place.

He stirred the mystery meat on his plate with his fork absently and kept his head down. He could hear voices and laughter and most of the words he caught contained the syllables "new kid". It was a small enough school and Taki shouldn't have even hoped he wouldn't be seen.

He had already located Ally. That much was easy. All he had to do was find her locker and his power led him to her. Now, he just had to figure out how to get her attention. Knowing he would probably regret this later, Taki lifted his head the moment he heard someone mention his "new kid" status at Ally's table and smiled in their direction.

[Phoenix]

Uh ooooooh, I think he heard us. One of Ally's friends giggled.

Ally glanced up from her now empty plate to see the new kid, Taki, staring and smiling in their direction.

A few of the other girls were giggling more then the others. Ooooh, he really is cute!

Someone invite him to come sit with us! Which then started a battle of "You go get him!" "No! You go get him!" And a series of giggles.

Ally rolled her eyes but smiled to show she was really just amused. Chill out. He's just a guy. t's not like we haven't seen one before. She looked back in his direction and stood up. I'll go get him. You guys make room for him. She tossed over her shoulder and made her way across the cafeteria.

She reached Taki's table, in which he was sitting by himself and sat down right across from him. Hey there! I'm Ally. She said with a big smile on her face. You look pretty lonely sitting here all by yourself. Why not come sit with my friends? She offered.

Several other guys who were nearby and happened to hear allowed their jaws to drop. Of course this invitiation would spark envy in the other boys. Who wouldn't love to sit at a table, surrounded by cheerleaders?

[Sparrow]

Taki's plan worked better than he thought it would. He was fortunate enough to have Ally herself coming towards. Wait... Ally was coming towards him. Taki took a deep breath. Ok, so it wasn't like he hadn't had human contact in the last year. Although everyone had spoken to had either injured him or feared him. Self conciously, Taki touched the scar on his left cheek that Kaycee Hunter had covered with make up that very moment. But now... he didn't know what he was going to say. Especially to the very girl he was tracking.

Not to self, Allison wasn't afraid of much. She sat herself down boldly at his table and spoke to him without even a nervous hint in her voice. Taki doubted he could do the same with someone he knew well. His eyes flicked to the table full of giggling girls he was being invited to and then back to his mystery meat.
Ok Nick, you better not touch me for months after this. He thought anxiously before responding.

Uh I'm Taki, he began, trying a small smile. That would be great, thanks... Ally right? He said, getting up from the table and dumping his tray in the garbage near his table.

[Phoenix]

Yup! She said with a nod and a big grin in response to him confirming her name. She watched as he emptied his tray into the garbage. In case you're interested, the stiry fry is really good. You should try getting that tomorrow. The meat is always pretty awful. She winked at him, as though she was letting him in on a some big secret.

She led the way back across the cafeteria and sat back down at her spot. The other girls had cleared a spot across from Ally for Taki to sit. When he had settled Ally turned to her friends. Guys, this is Taki. She introduced him to the group of girls.

By now several other boys in the cafeteria looked furious that the new kid was able to make it to the cheerleaders table so easily, meanwhile Ally's friends all just giggled.

[Sparrow]

Taki just smiled slightly. He wasn't exactly used to smiling but he supposed that's what Ally was expecting and she was kind of funny. [iShut up Taki! Stop overanalyzing things!][/i][/color] he mentally scolded himself and followed her over to the table full of pretty girls. Taki could feel himself blushing already.

[Phoenix]

Ally noticed how he had followed slowly, almost reluctantly and she felt a somewhat evil smirk cross her face, but beneath it was just good humour. Don't worry Taki. We're cheerleaders. We don't bite. We just do backflips and twirls. She winked at him as he sat down in the remaining seat.

She felt herself giggle when she saw how red he turned. It was like he had never seen another girl before or something. A bunch of the other girls had sort of lost interest in him and went back to their own private conversations. Having invited him to sit at the table, it would be rude for Ally to just turn away like her friends, ignore him and pick up another random conversation.

So Taki, where you from? Ally asked. Nobody else bothered to pay attention to them, except Paige, who hadn't really jumped into one of the girls conversations. She took was interested in the new kid.
