What's a Girl Gotta Do... -Open-

[Nicolas Constantine]

"Oh, believe me, I know. Back in England I went to private school. British private schools aren't exactly what you'd consider 'fun'."

Nick thought back to all the corporal punishment he had received at his previous schools, especially for not sitting upright. He winced at the thought.

"But, that was when me and my father were remotely wealthy... but he lost his job and we were forced to move here. And, well, here I am."

He loved England, naturally as it was his original home. But he thought about it and realized that it was good for him that he moved, or he wouldn't have met Roxy. He looked up and smiled at her.

[Roxy]

((Ooc-Not giving me much to work with are ya ))

“That kinda blows that you had to leave your home. I’ve been in the same house all my life and I know if it came down to it I would be depressed about leaving it. But of course Im at the age where Ill be leaving it soon anyhow.”

She did a light laugh, it sounded so childish to be attached to a house but she would still hesitate change. She knew where everything was, what everything did and what to expect. A new place meant new problems and that in return would only cause grief if it went sour.

“So is it just you and your dad? It is for me. My mom died when I was little, too little to remember. It had been just me and my dad for quite some time. He thinks I still need a motherly figure but I think it’s a little late in the game.”

She did another light laugh, thinking about his current girlfriends he had been bringing home lately.

(ooc- my last post was lacking, hopefully this ones better)

"It's just me and my father in our little townhouse. My mum died when I was young as well, didn't really know her."

Nick didn't really like to reminisce. He wasn't one to dwell in the past but instead look forward to the future and live in the present.

"So...does that mean your dad has tried to date or bring girls home? Do you bring guys home, too?"

He realized the last question could be insulting if taken the wrong way, as it could imply things that Nick wasn't thinking of.

"W-what I meant was, are you currently taken?"

This was a problem that he had. Nick had the tendency to flirt with every girl he met. He would figure out her strengths and flaws and act accordingly to swoon his target. It was a habit, not necessarily a bad one, but a habit nonetheless.

Well, I can't take it back now. he thought as he smiled embarrassingly at Roxy.

[Roxy]

She laughed lightly more at the statement rather than at him. Turning her eyes from him and nodding.

“Yea he’s had a few girls attempting to act like my mother but in the end I tend to win. I will always be Daddy’s little girl. And I never had a serious relationship where I would bring them home to daddy.”

She then shook her head. A little surprised that he, in her eyes, was flirting with her.

“I’m technically free in that retrospect. So no I don’t have a boyfriend.”

She would take it as flattery and she thought it was cute. But she wasn’t about to go accepting any proposals anytime soon. Specially from someone she had just met. She didn’t wanna let him down if he had his hopes up.

[Nicolas Constantine]

So she wasn't taken. For Nick this was good news, where for some reason he felt more open with some subjects that he would have been more reserved with otherwise. She, however, didn't really seem to much into the idea of relationships, but also didn't seem into the idea of sleeping around. He thought that was a good way to look at 'love', mostly from him being a big flirt, and he knew it, too. Nick knew how to respond to girls like her, even if they were rare.

"Well, then I think we should get to know each other better, maybe hang out some time, we seem to like similar things. Who knows, maybe there's something there, but either way, its nice to meet new people and make friends." Nick said, very nonchalant.

[Roxy]

She smiled and nodded.

“One can never have too many friends.”

She looked around before turning her blue eyes towards him. She hoped he didn’t take her next statement wrong. But she couldn’t diddle daddy all day, even thou she would love to.

“I hope you don’t mind me skittering off but I gotta head to my next class.”

She pointed towards the school when she spoke about class.

“Maybe we can run into each other again, Im sure by then we can mix and match our play lists.”

Standing she placed her forefingers into the loops in her belt as she still faced Nicolas. She didn’t wanna be rude and just walk off without having a proper goodbye.

“I hope you don’t mind me skittering off but I gotta head to my next class.”[/i]

Nick smiled and laughed.

"Haha, I don't mind at all,"he looked at the time on his cell phone,"Yeah, I probably should get going too."

“Maybe we can run into each other again, I'm sure by then we can mix and match our play lists.”[/i]

"Yeah, definitely, I'd like that. Oh! Want my number? You could call me if you'd ever want to hang and such." Nick gave attention to his phone, which was in his hand.

[Roxy]

Roxy then patted her pockets. She didn't feel the bulge which would represent her cell phone. Checking one more time she must have forgotten it within her locker. So instead of pulling out her phone she pulled out a pen.

"O shesh I forgot my phone in my locker. Know what, you can write on my hand and Ill put it in my phone once I get to my locker. Kay?"

Feeling her back pocket, her pen was still there. Pulling it out she clicked it ready and handed it over along with her extended hand.

Once he would give her his number she would make her way back into the school.

[Nicolas Constantine]

Nick took the pen from her extended hand and then took her hand gingerly, while he wrote his number on it.

"And that's my number. I'm free a lot of the time, so just call me whenever, I guess. Now its time for me to go to computer class."

He smiled and rolled his eyes at the thought of learning about the computer, a device that 99 percent of teens already knew how to operate as well as they knew the back of their hand.

"I'll see you later, alright?!" he shouted as he walked away backwards, waving at her, heading towards the technology building.

[Roxy]

She looked at the number written on her hand, smiled and nodded.

"Until next time Nicolas."

She returned his wave and made her own way towards her locker. It was nice to make acquaintances with someone new. She would have to save his number in her phone asap. Roxy didn't have a tendency for sweaty palms or anything but she would hate to reach home and look at the smudges left over and play 'guess the numbers' later on.

Taking her ear buds back out and placing them back on her ears. She continued onto class listening to her favorite song along the way.
