You were the only face i'd ever know...

[nate]

[/i]

Dark brown hair fell over to one side of his face. It wasn't parted like he usual did, but it was for a reason too. A slight bruise colored the right side of his face, the side in which his hair was tossed to. A grim set expression held apon his lips as he continued his artwork on the locker.

This was his escape. His father had come home in a pretty pissy mood. Pheonix had been minding his own, drawing and sketching, ignoring his father in every possible way. This, however, had only managed to piss the man off more. Choice words were given, his artwork ripped. Ugh, it would take him another hour to draw that. But the worst was the feel of his fathers fist across his cheek for not answering him when told to. "*Non capisco lui*." He muttered, His voice dripping in his thick Italian accent.
Finishing up the graffitti letter on the locker, He dropped the can and took a step back as if to admire his work. Nodding, he approved.

[Holly Kennedy]

Holly was sitting back on her bed in her dorm trying to come up with a new dress that she could make for herself in art class, she had chosen the fashion part to art. So far al she had was a heart shape at the top with some layers going across it wth some rags at the bottom, she didn't really like it and soon gave up. She was bored now, she had nothing to do besides a week of homework, but that could wait.
She walked from her dorm, shuting the door slowly behind her, adorned in her red jeans with a yellow skirt and a pink skinny tshirt that said if you want a rainbow, you have to deal with the rain and her favourite set of sky blue beads with her favourite raindow coloured converse.
She started walking down the corridors, listening to her ipod, she was listening to Paramore- her favourite band. She had came out of the english corridor and headed down the main staircase, she wanted to find something to do or somebody to talk to.
She walked off the staircase to enter the locker corridor. It was bright and sunny today and the rays on sunlight passed through the large windows and everything in the corridor seemed to sparkle.
The corridor was realy empty, everybody was probably in class but Holly couldn't be bothered to go. She heard a sharp hissing sound coming from farther down the corridor as she pulled one of her earphones out. She was curious and she walked further down and saw Pheonix, her best friend, getting up to what he did best. She loved his artwork, she thought it was very creative and inspiring, although she didn't know if he should be decorating the school lockers, this made her laugh a bit.
"Hey PJ" she said casually with a smile as she walked closer to him with her hands in her pockets
"what you up to this time?" she asked with a slight laugh

[Holly Kennedy]

Holly laughed as she noticed that she gave PJ a fright, she usually had that kind of effect on people, she thought it was funny.
She shookher head in mock dissapointment when she heard him say that he was just doidn the usual- vandalising. She loved his work and wished she was as skillfull at using spray paint as he was, she just never really got it right and it always look like a big mess, although it was funny to laugh at her pathetic attempts of being rebellious.
"Vandalisation PJ?, I'm shocked" she laughed sarcastically
She stopped when she was standing next to him and admired his work. She thought it was really something. She loved how vibrant it was and it had all of her favourite colours. Although, in the middle it said something she didn't realy understand, something in Italian.
"It's really beautiful Pheonix, I love it...but yeah...what does it say?" she asked confused

ooc: I did Italian in school for 6 years :], so I will probably understand lol, I knew what the Italian you put above meant before I read below what it meant hehe

[nate]

[/i] He nodded and looked up at his work. The letters looked almost like shattered glass and read 'Vivere il sogno' He smiled and sat down on the floor in the middle of the hallway. It was indeed a good place to put his art. No one would know it was him... well accept for Holly.

A smile broke his expressions as he brushed his hair out of his eyes, taking a moment to run his hands across the bruise apon his cheek. It was sore, and he didn't doubt that it would be. However, he moved his hair to hide it and glanced up at Holly."see if you can figure it out."[/size][/ul]

[Holly Kennedy]

Holly stood an admired PJ's work, she thought it would be cool if some of his art could be incorporatted into her fashion design, that would be really wacky but awsome.
She was bit stumped though when he asked her what it meant, she didn't know much Italian, only some things here and there that he had taught her ages ago when they were bored in class.
"I dunno PJ, something about dreaming, right?"
"Anyway, I'm not really shocked" she said with a smile
"I wish you could decorate the whole school like that, then maybe it might earn the title of cool" she said as she played with her beads, twisting them in and around her fingers in a shy fashion.

ooc: I know it mean 'living the dream' but I'm pretending that she doesn't knowmuch Italain lol. and sorry it's short, I've ran out of stuff to say already lol

[nate]

[/i] He glanced back at the artwork "Vivere il songo....living the dream. My mother used to say it a lot." He added, Running his hand over that spray paint to see if it was dry. He glanced down at his clothes, onyl to see that he was covered in dots of paint. "Give me about a week and I could do it" He replied with a smile.[/size][/ul]

[Holly Kennedy]

Holly smiled when PJ recognised that she remembered.
"see, clever cookie I am" she said pointing to her head and laughing
"I like the phrase, It's sweet yet powerful, couldn't have said much better myself" she said as she played with strand of her dyed blonde hair.
"A week?!" she asked sarcastically
"That's all it would take you?, my you are a talented one" she said with a slight laugh
She knew how PJ felt about his art and how much it meant to him so she knew he could probably decorate the whole school in less than a week if he wanted to

[nate]

[/i] He said with a smile, letting his back slide against the lockers until he was sitting on the floor beneath his artwork "I grew up on that phrase. My mom kept telling me that.. telling me that she was living the dream. At that time, I believe she was. I believe I would be too if she was still around"

He smirked and took a minute to look as if he were pondering. "Yes.. maybe with a bit of help I could do it even sooner" He said, raising and eyebrow in Holly's direction.[/size][/ul]

[Holly Kennedy]

Holly felt all girly and giggled a little as she brought her hand up to the side of her mouth, she always felt happy and giggly when she was with Pheonix, that's probably why she had developed a huge crush on him. She liked it that PJ repeated her 'clever cookie' analogy.
Although she did feel a certain sympathy for him when he mentioned his mom. She knew how much he loved his mom and how hard it was for him when he lost her. She didn't really know what to say.
"..you miss your mom?" she asked as more of a statement as she sat down next to him, her back to the lockers. She just hoped she wouldn't get any paint on her.
She wanted to try to change the subject though, she didn't like to talk about sad things.
"You can't be serious PJ!" she laughed
"You know I can't grafitti anything to save myself, it just looks like a big mess and all the colours flow into each other..... but I guess any decorating is better than nothing" she laughed again

[nate]

[/i]

He nodded his head, thinking about his mom, and something else she had told him 'If You have a dream Phoenix Jaedin, you go for it. Don't let anyone hold you back.' He glanced over at Holly and smiled. Holly. He had crushed on her since he had moved here, but Jay had her and he wasn't going to interfere, much less let her know. But now was his chance. Jay and Holly weren't together.

"Holly.. i've got a question." He ran his hand across the tattoo on his wrist and smiled, thinking of how to phrase it. "Holly .... Essere la mia ragazza?" It seemed to be the simplist way he could form it in his own tongue. He would wait. See if she could translate it for herself.[/size][/ul]

[Holly Kennedy]

Holly started to laugh. She loved how much confidence PJ had in her, even for the smallest things, she felt that she was rubbish at most things; maybe apart from her art, her singing and guitar playing but she really didn't do much of that any more. Although she still liked to write songs, she had written a song for PJ ages ago called 'Hot' and he doesn't know, she would probably think he would laugh at her for it cause it's about her crush on him.
"Really PJ, I could do it ut it would be a mess.." she laughed
"..I might need a lesson or two" She said as she looked up to him

She saw PJ smiling at her and it made her smile back, he said he wanted to ask her a question. He seemed a bit quieter than normal.
"Holly .... Essere la mia ragazza?
She was a bit sumpted for a minute, she had no clue what it meant. She looked at him a bit confused although by the look on his face she knew he wanted her to try and figure it out herself.
She sat for a minute and tried to figure out each word, she finally put the words together and realisation hit her, she understood his question. She didn't know what to say, she was speechless, she had no idea that he liked her in that way.
She started to giggle and blush a little, this was the really Holly- always laughing and being girly. She looked him in the eyes and nodded her head quickly and leaned up to kiss him on the cheek.

[nate]

[/i] He asked nodded his head and looking down at his clothes "I could give you lessons, but you would probably end up looking like a walking canvas" He laughed. Holding up his shirt and laughing.

The next thing she did surprised him slightly. She had laughed, he absolutely loved her laugh, it made him feel happy and warm.Then, she had raised up and kissed him on the cheeks, her cheeks burning a rose pink color. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer"i'll take that as a yes?" It was more of a statement that a question however.[/size][/ul]

[Holly Kennedy]

Holly couldn't believe that he felt the same way she did about him. She could do nothing but laugh and giggle, she didn't know why.
"Yeah, but I'd be a walking canvas with you, wouldn't I?" she asked as she felt him pull her closer. She hadn't felt so safe in a long time, not that she didn't feel safe with Jay- that was until he started to hit her.
"You can take that as a yes" she whispered in happy sigh as she leaned her head on his shoulder.

ooc: sorry it's short, didn't know what to put lol

[nate]

[/i] He added with a smile, giving a sigh of relief. He hadn't known she had felt about him like that. He was going out on a limb like always, being simply spontaneous.

"wonderful" He added, kissing her forhead lightly before glancing around."So, my vandalism is done for the day.. what do you wanna do now?"

((mine is short too))[/size][/ul]
