early mornin' stroll;;open

[ramona railey]

Ramona slowly rolled off her bed and on to the floor. She was awake, in a state of restlessness, the girl couldn't seem to find comfort in between the sheets. Everything in the dark room was easily seen to Ramona, as she sauntered to her closet. She had always adjusted to the darkness better than the light, though she was never sure why. She stripped off her jammies and put on real clothes. pink dress, washed out jeans, high top boots, check, and the girl was go. The air outside was cold and crisp, like always, and she regretted not bringing her jacket. Ignoring the cold she wondered aimlessly, in no certain direction did the girl walk. She wasn't sure what she wanted to do, and as long as she didn't get in trouble for being outside at such a late, er early hour seeing as how it was pretty much morning- hour, she could do whatever.

Her heels made the lightest of clicks on the concrete as she walked. Pulling out her Ipod she quickly placed the earphones in her ears and put on a song. A minute passed and the chorus of the song played. She softly sang along, making sure not to raise her voice higher than a hum, "She moves through moonbeams slowly, she knows just how to hold me." By the time the song ended, Ramona found herself at the gazebo. Such a pretty place it was, with the dark roses, looking rather black in the darkness against the clean white wood of the gazebo. She sat down inside and leaned back against the white wood, taking in her surroundings. She eventually let her eyes close, the gazebo being much more comforting than her bed had been. Minutes passed and a new song came on. Once again she softly sang along, tapping her fingers on the wood along to the beat.

Leo was not awake, yet or was he. His dark eyes blinked trying to get used, to not being closed. He was comfy, in his big warm jacket. Leo learned the hard way, that being out with a jacket was asking for trouble. His trademark, old boots dragged through the snow covered earth. He walked to walk sometimes, normally he was up in the air. Leo loved to fly, ever since he learned how. He was up in the air alot, but right now walking seemed best.

He stopped looking at the girl, she was an angel. But she didn't have that heavenly glow like he had. "Hi, nice meet you fallen." He said knowing she was a fallen angel. Any angel without a heavenly glow was a fallen one. "I'm Leo Hailwell, Controlling your powers teacher. I'm not a fallen just an angel." He wouldn't take the fall from grace if you paid him.

[ramona railey]

Ramona's music had changed to something rather loud, lots of screaming, and a intensely loud base. She liked the when the world around her was drowned out, when her thoughts were turned off, and there was only music, but of course, with Remy's luck it didn't last very long. She felt a shadow come over her, and her eyes quickly blinked open. There was a pressure in her back- her wings- though she hardly ever flew, she felt the threatening pressure when ever she got scared. It was only instinct, I mean when being attacked, flee, right ? The person standing in front of her was but only a man, scratch that, Remy could see it, the glow, it was pretty obvious. He was an angel- it made her hackles rise- I mean she had never seen another one, not that they had much in common, her being fallen and all.

She pulled her earphone out just in time to hear the man speak, though part of her wished she hadn't. Leo's words made her bite down on her tongue to keep the wood around her from shaking. She hated hen she lost control, everything started going wrong around her and she hated it. "Yeah I have a name, and it's not fallen, and if you call me that again, I'll show just why I am what I am." Yeah she had a big mouth, a lot of words, not so much action, but that didn't mean she wouldn't if she had too, she just did not take pride in what she was, an when someone pointed it out she hated it. She took a few deep breaths, and let her anger subside within her...Yeah she had anger issues, so what. Ramon shook her head and looked back up at Leo with a smile on her pale face. "Sorry," she mumbled under her breath, the smile still on her face. "I'm Ramona. You can call me Remy though. It's nice to meat you Mr. H," she said placing her hand in front of her for him to shake.

[leo]

He raised an eyebrow, was she trying to threaten him. Leo was older and threatening a teacher was not a good idea. "Sorry, but don't threaten me. Its not good to threaten a teacher." He said giving her a look of I'm sorry but don't even think about it. Leo had a temper and was not afraid to to use it. But he was less likely to get into it with his girl, he is a sweet guy. And Leo would just make her talk to him try to work it out. "Its nice to meet you Ramona, you can call me Leo. We aren't in class." He said giving her a smile shaking her hand. "What you listening to? Rap? MCR?" Leo hated Rap but must of the kids listened to it.


Wasn't cause he was older, just didn't think a song about how much money someone had and how many girls someone could get was music. And the whole having women in barely there clothing made him wanna throw up, he was bisexual but he liked the girls who didn't have to flash to get attention.

[ramona railey]

Doing her best to hid her grin, she looked down at her Ipod. She found it funny that he was telling her not to threaten him, because something about teachering and blah blah. She tended to tune the crusties out when they tried to tell her what and what not to do, because apparently they knew everything. And why do they know everything you ask ? Well because they have wrinkles and gray hair. Yeah right, the only people who ever told her what to do where her parents, but they were dead, and no no one could tell her what to do. Ramona took a deep breath and her mood swing passed. "Sir, yes, sir," she said with a rather mocking tone. A very light-hearted laugh escaped the girls lips, showing that she was only being her usual smartass self.

Being a smart ass cam second nature to Ramona, like breathing, or blinking. "Yeah, mkay, outa class it'll be Leo," she said with a simple smile on her pale face. For some odd reason the girl liked Leo's voice, in that non-creep way though...if there is a non-creepy was to like someones voice. Her eye brows creased as he asked her if she listened to rap. Yeah right, like she was gonna taint her ears to that crap people called music, all it was was a bunch of mamas boys putting rhyming words together about sex and money. "Please, that word makes me nauseous. I've got good quality music on this here Ipod. Try Otep, and Paramore, oh and Sublime. Now thats some good, and talented bands, who know how to make amazing music." She said nodding her head with a grin. She loved music more than anything.

[leo]

He was not old, he didn't have a grey hair or wrinkle. He was 25 years old, he wasn't that old goodness. Leo let that slide, god she reminded him of his sister Piper. Although he doubted the girl would be cursing at him in Russian anytime soon. Leo just rolled his eyes and figured she was being a teenager. "Thank god someone with taste." He said "More of a 70s, to something like Avenaged Sevenfold and Boys Like Girls." see he wasn't that old goodness. "Although I was a child of the 80s don't mean I gotta enjoy David Lee Roth jumping around in spendx. I liked Sammy Hagar better and no do not like Dark Side of the Moon. I liked aniaml the song Pig rocks." Okay Leo no more going through your old record collection please.


"And the next time you wanna block out someone try Metal its loud and makes you sound more angry." He teased tryingto lighten her mood a little.

[ramona railey]

Yawning, Ramona was actually starting to feel the lack of sleep. God she hated not having energy. It made her think about how drugs would give her energy, and that reminded her o how much of a bad person, and god, she hated being reminded that, I mean she was reminded it everyday when she looked in the mirror. She snapped out of his thoughts when Leo started talking again. Wait a second did this teacher have taste ? Her eye brows bunched together in curiosity. So, OK maybe she was wrong, he wasn't that much of a crustie, but still he was a teacher, and it was kind of programmed in her D.N.A to hate teachers. "Dude I saw them in concert. Boys Like Girls i mean. They were amazing. And yeah ok, Avenged Sevenfold, there pretty good, but Sammy Hagar ? C'mon, i wasn't even alive then. And if were gonna talk old school. The Ramones. Now thats a good band. " She said with a grin. She smiled at his comment. "Yeah, well, have you heard Otep. The lead singer may be a chick, but she has some lungs," she said sighing. Wow was she seriously enjoying talking to a teacher ?

[leo]

He was a teacher yes, but he wasn't out of the loop. Leo hated it when kids treated him like he was an old man. Yes, he was a teacher but he was able to have a conversation with people. "You wanna talk about a amazing female singers, try Ann Wilson, Amy Lee, & Sharon den Adel. they have amazing voices, I'm more of a Sex Pistols type of person, Sid fucked up yes but still a good bad. Right now, I'm going back and forth right now from Johnny Cash, Alice Cooper the nightmare album, and Flyleaf." He said Leo grew up listening to music and trying to figure out if he wanted to be a rock star or a superhero.

[ramona railey]

Remy stuffed her hands in her pockets as Leo spoke. This was the first time she had had a conversation with a teacher without yelling...and cussing involved. I mean teachers were the girls worst enemy. School had never been her strong point, it's not like she was stupid, a few IQ point away from genius the girl had no care for math or science. She just soaked up information easily, that was all. She wanted to laugh at his last sentence. "OK, when i said she had lungs, I meant lungs for screaming. Otep lead singer, not really a singer," she said jokingly. She didn't think she'd ever hear the names, Johny Cash, Alice Hooper and Flyleaf in the same sentence, especially not from a teacher. "OK those names do not belong in the same sentence," she said strait from her thoughts. "Flyleaf is amazing, I would so stalk Lacy if I could. Johny Cash is indeed a legand..but Alice Cooper ? Really ?" She finished with a small laugh, rubbing her hands together and sticking them back in her pockets

[leo]

"Its alot better than saying, I was like a member of the KISS army or something. Or into Miley Cryus or Justin Timberlake." Just saying there names, Leo looked like he was gonna throw up. "Screaming? since when does yelling at the top of your lungs make you an artist. My niece whose 3 can scream louder than those metal heads." He said "Its like saying the Jonas Brothers make good music, cute boys music is crap." Letting out the fact he was bi there like he cared. He was enjoying himself, it been a long time since he had someone to talk to. It was a nice thing

[ramona railey]

Ramona couldn't help but crack up at Leo's words. Wow, this was seriously entertaining. Any anger that had been left over from earlier had evaporated in the last minute. Leo was pretty rad. And I mean being friends with the staff could be a bonus in the future. But seriously she had never met anyone over the age of 19 that had any sense of what was going on, or maybe she had and just hadn't givin' them a chance, whatever. "Hey screaming takes talent man. You try doing that, see how well you talk the next day ?" The smile hadn't left her face as she said it though she was dead serious. She had tried to be a little screamo rock star, but horribly failed in the process, damaging her vocals intensely. I mean anyone who could scream at least one song and sound normal the next day was talented.

Yawn. Her mind was practically yelling it at her, but she forced it back, taking in a quick breath of air in as she did so. Her eyes went wide as he said what he did about the Jonas Brothers. 1) because he called them talentless, and 2) did he just call them cute ? Her mind was booming. "Wait a second buster. The Jonas Brothers, are fantastically amazing, I mean Joe and Nick's voice, totally hypnotizing, and did, uh, did you just call them cute ?" She wasn't sure why sh had just told them the bit about the Jonas Brothers, I mean she kept stuff like that to herself, she was a huge closet fan, but nothing more. The girl had pre-ordered there upcoming album, and already had like all of there songs memorized, but she wasn't sure if she wanted anyone to know about her secret love of boys in tight pants.

[leo]

"I can scream if you wanna cause an earthquake." His geokensis can be set off, if he screamed. It was why he rarely raised his voice. "Yeah, I called them cute. I like both women & men. its 2008, I'm allowed. And okay, okay, I promise to not insult the JB. If you do not kill me." He said kinda embarrassed, now talking about this in-front of a student. Leo been open with his family and they didn't care. He wasn't ashamed of himself, "My niece likes them she's 10 and was made to take her to a concert." running his fingers through his hair, he sighed.

[ramona railey]

She giggled at his comment, er shit was he serious. It only made it harder to stop laughing. Wow was she tired or what ? Remy tended to get really giggley when she was tired, not caring what she said or who heard it. It was a dangerous time for the girl, but whatever she was in a good mood. She made a funny face at his comment. Her mouth scrunched up and one eyebrow raised. "Nahh. It's totally chill. I mean to be totally honest, I'm not sure I like guys 100 percent. I mean i do, but then theres this part of me who also might like girls." She shrugged not really caring about what other people thought Remy had always been sort of an open book when it came to stuff like this. She wasn't shy, not one bit, I mean who cared what others thought anyway, if she was happy everything was chill. "Ha. That must have been fun. I've gone to two of there concerts, it was awesome, ya know being the only one there who was over 5 foot." She laughed a bit, but it was true, she had been one of the oldest there.

[leo]

"I was called sir and mister. And stood around with a coward of moms who where with there daughters." He said Leo didn't have fun, but it was nice spending time with his niece. "Yeah, just go with what feels right and screw what anybody else says." Leo wasn't one to care about what other's thought. "Your tried? let me guess can't sleep? I get giggly when tried or I get grumpy." He been trying to find an apartment for the longest time, so far he been camping out in the woods or his car. It was odd living for a teacher to say the least.

[ramona railey]

"I bet you felt like a soccer mom," she said jokingly giggling a little at her own joke, yeah she was gonna have to get some sleep soon. She yawned to drained to hold it back. She didn't even think she was gonna put back on her jammies. Probably just pass out as soon as she got back to her dorm. " Totally I mean, who gives what other people think, if I'm diggin it, every things cool," dear god did she just say diggin it ? Wow the girl was seriously tripped. "Are you kidding I'm drained. And yeah thats why I was out here in the first place, couldn't sleep, but now I feel like a zombie. About to pass out man," she said a minute later adding, "yeah, i get really giggley too," she said yawning yet again. She clumsily pulled out her cell phone looking at the time she shook her head. "Shit man, i gotta get some sleep. But thanks for talking, it was...interesting. Glad I have at least one cool teacher," she said smiling as she shoved her phone back in her pocket. She took a deep breath and got ready to walk off, back to her dorm for some much needed sleep.
