Kai, to the best of his knowledge, didn’t say anything that he hadn’t said before. Maybe it was the way he said it? He didn’t know. Maybe these Americans weren’t used to hearing the way that Kai usually spoke back in the Outback. If so, then perhaps he should dial it back. The only biggie there was how would he do that exactly? Kai wasn’t one to know when to hold back and when to just lay it all out there in the open. He either went big like a wave in the middle of a good sess or was quiet and unsuspecting like a roo suddenly punching your lights out. Good thing for Vivi. She wasn’t as taken aback by Kai’s ways of talking. It brought a smile to Kai’s face and he gave Grant the same smile, though he wasn’t sure if he was as receptive to it as Vivi seemed to be. [color=20b2aa]“I’ve only met three, mate. You, Vivi here, and the Shirley over there with the golden man over there!”[/color] Kai pointed two tables ahead of them where Ella was sitting with someone Kai didn’t know. “Oh wait! Sol and Marco and Johann and Tommy and Fayed and Nolan!” Kai suddenly remembered the new mates he made during lunch hour. [color=20b2aa]“They were all aces! And thanks to you, I now know Solay--I mean Soleil’s name.”[/color] Kai nodded to himself, giving Grant the ‘hanging ten’ hand gesture as a thanks.[/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/XsrPtKl.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/3bo0VHO.gif[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/iDIQt28.png[/img][/center] [indent]Marco’s brown eyes were somewhat focused on the new kid appearing to fit in well with those outcasts, Grant and Vivi. He wouldn’t have guessed it, but from where he was sitting and the limited distance between them, Marco was willing to bet that the foreigner was also trying to put the moves on Vivi. If he was looking too much into it, then he’d hear it later. If he wasn’t, then this was truly something worth focusing on. Then again, just a table in front of them (next to Marco and Reia) was D and the class president herself. Speaking of! [color=darkgoldenrod]“I don’t know. You say that and I currently see Rora seem to not push Dante’s advances.”[/color] Marco tried not to glare or stare or eye them more than it was possible, but this was such an intriguing topic. [color=darkgoldenrod]“You have Dante Mossos, the self-proclaimed King of Kings and then there was Aurora Quill, who had the poshest name to ever exist into humanity. And that was saying a lot when Marco factored in one of his childhood friends, Howard Hickman Hollingsworth. She might be posh but she’ll never be Howard Hickman Hollingsworth posh.”[/color] Wait. Marco looked at Reia, seeing her look back at him. [color=darkgoldenrod]“Oh shit, did I say that aloud?”[/color] Marco laughed a few times. Loudly. He seemed to earn a glare from Fluffy himself, smiling apologetically to the man. He then returned to Reia’s occasional gaze, though now he was looking at the side of her hair. He gave himself a self-pat on the back, trying to think of something clever to say that would restore all faith to him in Reia’s eyes. Hold up. Did she say Sol’s name? [color=darkgoldenrod]“Wait, you think Sol can’t tolerate me? Ella es mi hermano. We are tight like - well, like you and Aurora.”[/color] Marco informed Reia, explaining to her about his friendship with Sol. Marco switched it up, centering his attention on Reia. [color=darkgoldenrod]“So,”[/color] his voice trailed off, exaggerating the 'o' sound, [color=darkgoldenrod]“what’chaaa dooinn?”[/color][/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/uEo1VbH.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Wwkw4QB.gif[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/MzXtddl.png[/img][/center] [indent][color=violet]“Savannah Montana? That’s cute.”[/color] She said, giving Sol an admirable smirk at her attempt of an insult. That was the only acknowledgment that Sol was going to receive from Sav. It was a good attempt, but it wasn’t worth her attention. Frankly, Sav was more interested in the other thing that Sol had addressed. Quite like how she expected the Boxing Barbie to respond, she acted so defensively. It was almost as if she had to passionately deny the claims that she and [i]Big Mac[/i] were dating. And if they weren’t officially dating, then they certainly had those sort of feeling for each other. Even if Sav wasn’t aware of their close relationship and how attached the two were, it didn’t take much to deduce that it was the case. Sol’s insistence that she didn’t feel that way made the blonde thespian curious about something. Sav saw Mr. Alverez was currently busy on his phone. For someone who was adamant about teaching them a lesson, he had no problem turning his eyes away from them. She didn’t think much of it. Honestly, him not giving them attention after only ten or so minutes into detention meant that they were free to do whatever as long as it didn’t mean they would bring attention to themselves. Ignoring him now, Sav turned her boy around to face Sol. [color=violet]“If what you say is really the truth, then you wouldn’t mind if I asked him out, right? He’s always been a nice guy. And let’s face it."[/color] Sav turned her attention behind her, looking at Marco engaged in a conversation with Reia. [color=violet]“He’s cute, isn’t he? I’m sure, as a fellow girl, you could appreciate just how handsome he is. And just think about it? Marco Castillo, the captain of the Water Polo team and Savanna Hart, the queen, together. We’d be the It Couple. Of course, “[/color] Sav stared at Sol for a long minute, [color=violet]“if you don’t want me to, then I will stand down.”[/color][/indent] [/color]
