ESHS: High School Life!

[The Abbs-Myster]

Emily smiled wide and fakely and talked through clenched teeth. "Har-Har I know but " She began shaking her head softly towards Dean. "I want to see if you two get along" She smiled and winked. She looked over at Dean "I don't like this anymore then you, so where to first" She smiled

[FusedHearts]

"Well of course leave me with the catty girl," Serah grumbled, eyeing the girl with the straight brown hair. Judging by how Harleigh wanted to stick by Emily, she didn't want to roam the mall with Serah either. Serah blew a chunk of dark hair out of her face and nodded to the group, wondering why Dean and Emily even wanted them to go together anyway. Suddenly a realization hit her, a sly smile spreading across her face.

"Oh I see what's going on here." She pointed to Emily, then to Dean. Wheeling around the heel of foot, she walked past Harleigh, "Let's give these two love birds some time alone~"

[The Abbs-Myster]

Emily's mouth dropped open and she narrowed her eyes. 'What? No! I just- I can't- Oh my god!" She said between breathes. She turned and nudged Dean before widening her eyes and motioning towards Serah for help.

[FusedHearts]

"Now, now, there's no need to be embarassed~" Serah said with a smug smirk, adjusting the necklace on her neck, "Don't get your hair in a knot,"

[Brittany]

"No." -Dean protested and held his arm.- "Emily is only a friend." -He looked at Harleigh, who was giggling.- "It's true! You know we're just friends."



-Harleigh covered her mouth, trying to hide the smile.- "Mhmm." -She laughed and walked up beside Serah.- "I heard this new place just opened up Monday, let's go." -She looked back at Emily and Dean.- "See you later." -She giggled and walked on.-

[The Abbs-Myster]

Emily watched them leave before yelling "Just friends!" She looked over at him and rolled her eyes before walking towards the large glass doors of the mall. She opened them and stepped inside, the smell of new shoes and fries from the food court filling her nose. She sighed and looked around. "Where to first?"

[Brittany]

-Dean shrugged and pointed towards the sports store, but he instantly walked the other way. Emily wouldn't go in there.- "Lead the way."



-Harleigh smiled as they walked away. She walked through the doors and looked over at Serah.- "So how long have you been going to school there?"

[The Abbs-Myster]

Emily raised an eyebrow as he walked away. "Where are you going?" She asked turning and walking towards the sport stores. "You said you wanted to go here, so let's go here" she smiled and entered the small store. New shoe smell filled the air. Cleats lined the walls and team logos filled the racks.

[FusedHearts]

Serah followed alongside Harleigh, her dark eyes examining the contours of the mall. It was spacious, with a flow of people rushing down the walk-ways, the light from the high ceiling and from inside the many stores spilling out into the white-tiled halls. Serah looked at Harleigh,
"I moved in a few months ago, from Arizona. I have to say, this place is much cooler, in both ways." She paused slightly, seeing a certain store that held shiny trinkets and intricate pieces of jewelry. The girl sped up to catch up with Harleigh,
"So where is this new store that opened up?"

[Brittany]

"Good, 'cause I needed some new cleats." -Dean walked over to the racks and grabbed a pair of black cleats with a gold Nike sign on them.- "These look okay?" -He walked over to Emily.- "You see anything you want?"



-Harleigh smiled at the joke.- "I bet. I've never been to Arizona, but I've heard a man got third degree burns because he walked barefoot on cement." -She shrugged and pointed down the hallway.- "I can't remember the name. But I've heard it's awesome!"

((Lol, I can't make up a name for the store.))

[The Abbs-Myster]

"Well, they are cute, but I wanted you to get these" she said grabbing a pair of nike cleats. The metal underside was pink and the nike sign was pink. She smiled and handed them to him "Please, they will look much better on you then those" she smiled. She looked around at the shoes "Well, I am not much of the sport's person other then cheerleading"

[FusedHearts]

Serah laughed, causing a few people to glance at her,
"I once tried frying an egg on the sidewalk. It rotted within a week but it was a nice try, I guess." She replied after what Harleigh had said about the man with the third degree burns. Her dark eyes followed curiously where Harleigh had pointed. Her eyes lit up. There was a store with dark red posts and glassy, see through cages, with the sound of claws tapping against it. There was no sign or title to the store on top, but there was a cutesie little post with 'Fluffies for Sale Grand Opening' written in bright, neon green letters. Serah glance at Harleigh with a smile and pushed open the doors. She was met with the sight of cats and puppies peering out of the glass at them, alerted by the jingle of the bells that rung whenever the door opened.

[Brittany]

-Dean looked down at Emily.- "You're kidding. No way." -He shook his head, then pointed to a corner that had cheering equipment.- "How about I pick my stuff, and you can get yours?" -He said with a light smile.-



"Really? Sounds like something I'd have done." -Harleigh laughed and followed the girl's gaze. Her jaw dropped and she ran through the doors squealing 'Kittens!' The girl ran over to a cage that was filled with calico kittens. Harleigh reached in and grabbed one.- "Aww, I'm going to name you Halo." -She held the kitten to her chest and turned to Serah.- "Isn't she adorable!"

((And this is Halo.))

[The Abbs-Myster]

Emily took the shoes from Dean's hands and let her shoulders go limp. A sad look filled her eyes as she turned slowly and put the shoes back. She sighed and glared at him before turning to the cheer equipment. She sighed "There isn't anything here I don't already have.." she said gazing at the large wall. She turned to him "You need to loosen up" she said. "You are acting like life is serious, don't take it to serious, no one gets out alive anyways" she smiled "Have fun, let loose, do something you would never do! Enjoy every second because the next one might be your last" she smiled. She looked around and bit her lip, "Oh here!" she said walking around him towards the soccer equipment. She reached into a large bin of soccer balls and twirled one in her hand. "See I would never do this if I was thinking" she raised the ball up and threw it. It flew through the air, hitting a large rack of helmets. The rack fell over onto a bin of assorted balls that spilled over the floor.She slowly looked over at dean and bit her lip with a nervous look. "Oopsy.." she mumbled. The next thing Emily knew, her and Dean were standing outside of the door as the owner shut the doors angrily after kicking them out. She bit her lip "Well,...That was fun" she shrugged and smiled shyly. "Come on, enjoy life. Smile at the stupid, laugh at the idiotic, and never regret anything that made you smile" she said with a soft smile. "Hey.." she said low. "Let's go to the pet store, I bet that's where the other two are" she said. She walked down the long isle, avoiding the crowds of people that walked by. She finally heard the familiar barks and meows of the store as she pushed the glass door open. She looked around and spotted the two girls and waved. She looked around at the assorted birds, rodents, reptiles, fish, cats, dogs, and amphibians. She smiled as people immediately grabbed kittens and puppies. She looked around and had to admit the baby animals were too cute. She walked around the store smiling, as she neared the back she pushed open a door marked "Employees only". The floor became cement as the chilled air gave her goosebumps as the sounds of the store faded. She walked deeper into the back room, it was large like a building. Boxes were stacked on shelves. She reached another door and shoved it open, as a large sound wave of barks filled the air. She looked around at cages stacked ontop of each other, filled with dogs. They barked and growled as Emily walked by glancing at each one. She spotted pitbulls, huskies, german shepards. They all growled and snapped at her as she passed. "Ma'm, you can't be in here" a voice spoke. An employee walked up to her and smiled. "Um what are these dogs doing in here?" Emily asked. "These are the unwanted dogs, they either are to aggressive or just adults that were never bought. so they are to be shipped out and put to sleep" Emily's mouth dropped open. She looked around at all the animals and sighed. Her eyes stopped on one specific dog. It looked like a husky but was thicker and it's colors were different. It stood still in it's cage and sniffed the air. "What about that one?" she asked. "That's number 62," "You call them, numbers?" Emily asked. "Yes, he has never been adopted because he is half wolf and half husky" She said. Emily bent down. "Be careful please, he has always bitten people and has never liked people" Emily sat slowly and scooted towards the cage. "It's only because he hasn't found the person he can actually trust" she said sighing. The dog watched her carefully, his blue eyes looking her up and down. She sat there still and silent not moving and slowly the dog walked to the door of the cage and stuck his head out. Emily smiled and reached out slowly. The dog sniffed her hand and licked it softly. "Bruce" She said. "What?" The woman asked. "He is a Bruce" she said. The worker sighed, "Fine you know what since you want him so bad, if you can get a collar and leash on him you can keep him, no cost" she said. She smiled knowing the girl would fail. Emily reached up and grabbed a collar before placing it on the ground. She stuck her hand in the middle and the dog reached down to sniff it. She slowly slid the collar over his head and around his neck before clipping it together. She then simply connected the leash and stood leading the dog out of the cage. She raised and eyebrow and walked down the cement isle and out of the room and into the shop. She walked towards Dean, Harleigh, and Serah with a smile. "This is Bruce he is part wolf" she smiled.


Bruce


His body is shaped like this though the picture above is really him

[Brittany]

((I love him!))

-Dean's jaw dropped and as he reached to try and catch the soccer ball, he knocked down some baseball bats. Next thing he knew, he and Emily were standing outside of the door and as he turned back to the owner, only to have the door slammed in his face. Dean clenched his teeth and took a deep breath before turning around and looking at Emily.- "Emily." -He said calmly.- "Never do that again. Now I'm banned from my favorite sports store." -He sighed and followed Emily to the pet store. As he walked in, he immediately saw Harleigh with a cat.- "Great. A cat." -He muttered and walked over to them.- "So how are you two?" -He asked as Emily walked away.-



"Look. Her name is Halo." -Harleigh held the kitten up and brought it to her face in a light hug.- "Fine, what about you?" -She turned to look at Serah and laughed before looking over her shoulder at Emily.- "Wolf? Wow Em. You better be careful with that one." -She held Halo with one hand and held out the other in front of Bruce for him to sniff it.- "Hi there boy!" -She smiled.-

[The Abbs-Myster]

Emily smiled as Bruce slowly reached out and sniffed Harleigh's hand. "I will, but he was gonna be put down so I got him" she smiled. She avoided Dean's gaze, afraid he might still be mad. She gave Harleigh a nervous look, "What if he is really mad?" she thought. "I'm going by myself for a walk.." she said leading the dog out of the store. She turned to the left and walked down the long isle.

[FusedHearts]

Serah smiled as Harleigh and Emily went all lovey dovey over the fluffiest little critters in the store. Her house was too small for a cat or a dog, she knew that even if she wanted to have one. She did have one pet though, and that was Patches a black rat. She searched the store for a few seconds before a few squeaks and yips caught her attention. A small metal pen in the middle of the shop had a soft, blue blanket spread out on the floor. In it was what looked like an overgrown sausage with tall, lopsided ears and white paws that looked like socks. The pup's butt wagged as it strutted through the pen, looking at all of the people that it passed by.

A worker walked over and opened the pen, picking up the puppy with a sigh. Serah raised her head,
"Where's he going?" She asked.
The worker shrugged and said, "He's the runt and the last one out of his litter to get picked. No one wants the last one so were putting him to sleep with the other mutts."

On pure impulse, Serah stepped in his way, "I'll take him." The worker smirked,
"He's all yours then." He handed him to her. Serah looked down at the corgi pup, its dark brown eyes looking straight back up at her. Serah sighed and pat its head, earning a dog-like smiley face. The girl smiled and walked back up to the others.
"Dad's never home anyways...He won't notice this litte guy, right?" SHe mumbled, stroking the puppy's back. "I think I'll name him Butterball."

[Brittany]

((Aww. Corgis are so cute!))



-Harleigh looked at Emily and shot a curious glance at Dean. What had happened between the two? She nodded to Emily and looked at Dean when she had left.- "What did you do!" -Her gaze shifted to Serah and the puppy she was holding.- "Aww!" -She squealed and patted the puppy's head.- "That's a perfect name, Ser." -She smiled and looked over at Dean.- "Go get one." -She pushed him away and turned back to Serah.- "Geez, he's always doing something wrong." -She held Halo up to Butterball and petted them both.-



-Dean held out his arms and was about to argue when Serah came back.- "Name fits." -He smiled and rubbed the pup's head. As he was pushed away by Harleigh, he let a loud sigh and turned away. Dean walked around the store, glancing around at the snakes. He wanted to get one, but it wouldn't last long in the house he was living in. He sighed and wandered around an isle and gazed into a pen. German Shepherds. Dean's favorite dog. He kneeled down beside the pen and held out his hand to one of the larger males. Instantly, the dog ran up to him and began to gnaw on his fingers. Dean picked up the puppy and walked back around to the girls.- "Girls, meet Rambo."

[The Abbs-Myster]

Emily walked silently, though she knew she was upset with the situation with Dean, a lot more troubled her. Her mind swirled with thoughts, she didn't want to go home. She hated her home, and she wished she didn't have to go.

[FusedHearts]

Serah smiled as they said that the name fit. The butter furred pup wriggled energetically in her arms, tongue lolling in and out of its mouth. She looked up at Dean with his german shepherd puppy, Rambo, and Harleigh with her new calico, Halo. She looked around for Emily and didn't find her,
"Hey, where'd Emily go off to? She seemed pretty down."

[Brittany]

-Dean looked around and rubbed the back of his head.- "She got us kicked out of the store. She thinks I'm mad at her." -He finally said after a few seconds.-



-Harleigh was petting Halo, but froze as her brother spoke.- "She got you kicked out? How?" -After he told the two the whole story, from the soccer ball to the slam of the door.- "But...what was she thinking!?"

[The Abbs-Myster]

Emily stopped and looked around. "Where am I.." She thought. Bruce sniffed the air and barked but settled down and sat as Emily looked around.

[FusedHearts]

Serah sighed at the story that was told, shrugging to her self.
"Stuff happens, I guess. She's probably lost, lets go find her." The dark-haired girl stepped out of the store, some people in the mall giving her odd stares (mostly due to the wriggling puppy she was handling). She looked around for Emily, searching through a handful of stores and found her near the other end of the mall, looking indeed very lost. Serah sighed and snuck up behind her, then held Butterball up, letting the pup crane his neck to sniff the back of her neck and rub his wet nose on her hair.

"Surpriiiiise." She drew out the word unenthusiastically, "Where ya been, chicka?"

[Brittany]

-Dean walked beside Serah, struggling to put a leather collar on Rambo.- "D****t." -He muttered under his breath as the pup's claws tore through Dean's skin. He put the collar on and clipped another leather leash on the collar, then set the dog down.- "Come on." -He whistled and walked after Serah.-



-Harleigh laughed as her brother cursed.- "He already don't like you." -She joked and pointed at a silver sparkly collar already around Halo's neck.- "And she gave no fuss at all." -She rubbed the kitten's head and looked up at Emily one they reached her.- "Hi Em. You ok?"

Rambo's


Halo's

[The Abbs-Myster]

Emily turned quickly to see her friends approaching her. She smiled once she saw Serah and Harleigh, but it faded once Dean came into sight. "Yeah I am fine" She smiled at Harleigh, her eyes fighting to stay away from Dean. "Just...going for a walk"
