Trip to District 11 *Jack, Mara*

[Jack Lexington]

His loud voice makes me jump.
"Man!" I laugh out loud. "Relax...I was just wondering..." Mockingly I seize her up. "She's a pretty girl, so why not?" I know I'm putting both of them on the spot and it amuses me a great deal. I hope he won't kick me off the roof. Judging by the muscles bulking under his shirt he probably could.

I also notice that Pheonix totally ingored my implied question about the security...maybe he doesn't know anything.

"Man!" He shouts out. "Relax...I was just wondering..." I laughed a bit. He actually thought I was serious. "She's a pretty girl, so why not?" I shoot him a serious look then laugh. "Who knows?" I laugh and jokingly put my arm around her, followed by a quick kiss on the cheek.

I blushed a bit at the kiss on the cheek. I took my arm off off her shoulders, but my arm lingered a bit. I finally took my arm down fully, blushing like crazy now. "Just to let you know, I do not have a crush on her." I respond, even if it was obvious.

"Are you two together?" Jack asked. Mara shook her head vigorously, making it positive that she didn't like him.
"What!?!?" Pheonix yelled. I jumped slightly, being startled wasn't usual for Mara. She usually knew what was happening, except for when she was extremely embarrassed, which she was. Mara was also blushing as soon as Jack asked 'Are you two together?'.

"Man!" Jack laughed slightly. "Relax...I was just wondering..." Then he said something that made Mara blush. "She's pretty, so why not?"
Mara looked away since it was obvious she was blushing, she could feel her cheeks burning immensely. Pheonix shot Jack a serious look and started to laugh.
"Who knows?"

Mara started blushing when suddenly he put his arm around her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek. Mara was shocked, it felt like her cheeks were sizzling now. Mara was so embarrassed, but she liked the kiss a little but she didn't want that to happen right in front of Jack.

"I-I-I have to go." She stuttered quickly, getting up and jumping down. "Just to let you know I do not have a crush on her." He said as she was leaving.
Mara was so embarrassed, she ran to the meadow and just curled up in a ball there. Wanting to go to sleep but just couldn't. She wouldn't go back to the roof until she was positive he was gone. Mara shook her head slightly, trying to get rid of the memory. [/color]

I watched as Mara jumped off the roof, and quickly ran away. 'I-I-I have to go' were her last word. I frowned as she ran away. "I'll be right back." I say to Jack, jumping off the roof. Was that joke really that bad? I must not have a good sense of humor. I run after Mara, or at least the direction she went. I find her curled in a ball in the field.

"Mara? I'm sorry. Please talk to me." I plead. "It meant to be a joke... I-I guess I got carried away. Please talk to me?" I asked once more. Mara was my best friend and I don't want to loose her from just that stupid action.

"Youve done it again." I tell myself when both hurry away from me. My smart remarks have cost me friendships and bruises before. Angry at my self I take a few twigs and small stones and toss them off the foor.

In the distance I can see Pheonix search for her until he dissapears.
He seems like a decent guy.

Again my eye find the fence to district 11 and I decide to sneak a little closer while the others sort out their dilemma.

Even from 10 feet away, where I lay flat on my stomache in between two large bushes, I can hear the humming of the fence.
Electricity. I note.
When I poke my head out further I can see a look out point in the distance with somebody on it...a peacekeeper? Or just somebody on the other side who is just as curious as I am?

[dragona]

"Mara? I'm sorry. Please talk to me." He pleaded. "It meant to be a joke... I-I guess I got carried away. Please talk to me?"
Pheonix found her, she didn't want to be found but talked to him anyway.
"It wasn't the joke..." Mara replied, depressed, she ran away from him just because of how embarrassed she was? She regrets it but she was finally deciding that she actually wanted to be found.
"I-I-I don't know how to tell you..." She explained.

Mara didn't want him to leave but didn't want him to know about the fact that she had a crush on her. She used her hand to indicate for him to come. She needed someone, she barely had anyone as it was. She had mother, Jack and him, but without him it'd be only Jack and her mother. She felt she needed him and mostly him.

Why is it that I ran away from him but I need him? She thought. [/color]

[Max]

"It wasn't the joke..." Mara replied. I sighed with relief. Maybe I had a chance... I kneeled down so I was in level with her. "I-I-I don't know how to tell you..." She said. "Wh-what?" I quietly said. I kept my distance, and started rubbing my head slightly, waiting for an answer.

Mara was one of my two friends. I couldn't lose her. The words, "I-I-I don't know how to tell you..." repeated in my head. I wonder what she was going to say. She motions with her hands to follow her.

[dragona]

(It was come to her but since you were already there just forget about that part)

"Wh-what?" He asked quietly.
Mara turned towards him, no longer curled in a ball. She stretched out her arms and hugged him.
"I-I have a-a c-crush on you..." She replied. She stopped hugging him and looked to the ground.

Mara was happy she did what she did, she felt a little woozy because she didn't know what he was going to say. Mara was hoping very much he didn't say no, but also at the same time wanted to never know what the answer was going to be. She just wanted to be with him or atleast still be friends with him. If he said no, she would probably not want to see him again, but if he said yes, they wouldn't be friends, but more then friends.

I can't believe I just did that! She thought. I finally told him what I was thinking... She looked back up at him to see his expression and smiled. She felt weird inside and her heart was warm. She started blushing and waited for an an answer.[/size]

[Max]

Mara suddenly hugged me. Surprised, I put my arms around her, too. Sh lets go, and I do as well. "I-I have a-a c-crush on you..." She quietly said. I look at her in surprise. I opened my mouth to speak, but my body acted to quickly. It went closer, and closer, until my lips finally met hers. I held on. I didn't want to pull away.

Dang it, Pheonix! Why'd you do that! the voice inside of me said. Actions, speak louder then words.

[dragona]

My first kiss went a little like this
and twist...and twist
Well my first kiss went a little like this
and twist...and twist

Instead of him answering her in words Pheonix started to kiss Mara. She was shocked at first but then calmed and let him kiss her. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him back. This is what I was waiting for. She thought happily. She was happy that it finally happened, she realized how she didn't know him very long, to her it felt like eternity.

I said no more teachers and no more books
I got a kiss under the bleachers
hoping that nobody looks
lips like liquorice
tougue like candy

It finally happened, Mara enjoyed it. She stopped kissing him.
"So, I'm guessing that means 'me too'?" She replied, smiling. This time Mara kissed him, not him kissing her. She officially loved Pheonix. [/color]

She put her arms around my neck, while I put my hands around her waist. She let me kiss her, which surprised me a bit. This was much better then that fake one on the roof. I don't really care if I didn't know her for long, I guess I've loved her all this time.

We finally broke a part, but we were still in our embrace. "So, I'm guessing that means 'me too'?" Mara smiled. She kissed me back. One of my hands lifted from her waist, caressing her smooth face. I finally stopped, and grinned.

"Your correct."

[Jack Lexington]

While the lovebirds were sharing their first kiss I venture further along the fence to get a closer look at the look out point on the other side.
I duck behind bushes and trees while I try to make as little noise as possible. But why am I hiding. It's not forbidden to be on this side of the fence.
When I get closer I slow down my pace and squint my eyes to see how many people there are.
There actually are two and they are descending from the platform on top of it now.
I can see them so they must be able to see me. Once again I lay down flat on my belly when I notice the gap underneath the fence right in front of me.
When the peacekeepers come towards me I scramble back behind the next tree breathing like I've just ran a mile. Did they see me? I don't dare to look but can hear their voices. Slowly they fade. They must be walking away. I poke my head around the tree and my suspicion is confirmed. They are patrolling the fence ind two directions now.

Running as fast as I can I head back to tell Pheonix and Mara. "Hey, you two, where are you?"

OOC Question: Should we split this into two threads...one: the two lovebirds, two: the journey to the promised land?

[dragona]

OOC: Sure. Lets do that now.

[Max]

OOC: Agreed.

[Jack Lexington]

Continue the venture to the other district here...so Pheonix should meet up with me...after making out with you LOL

Then I'll open a thread called. 'Trip to district 11- finding love', where you can continue the 'crushing'
