Re: The Gerbil

[Phoenix Night]

Liam Thompson was the average popular boy. A handsome douche bag with everyone in his clique wrapped around his finger like a very, very tight, circulation cutting ring. No one dared to speak to him unless spoken to, which was just how he wanted it.
"What's up with your roommate Sophia? She blew me off at our date last night,"he said, putting on an annoyed face.

[Selena112]

Sophie jumped, startled. She hadn't realized someone was there. She looked over at the guy who'd spoken to her. Liam Thompson? She was surprised he even knew her name. "Uh, um... I don't know." She looked away.

[Phoenix Night]

"Oh, I see how it is. Guess that she couldn't even show her face or even give her roommate an actual alibi."
Liam snickered, and then a bunch of other people did too, as usual.
"Give her my best, Sophie."
With that, he walked off.

[Selena112]

Maybe she'll be back at the dorm later. Sophie swallowed her doubt and tried to be positive.

[Phoenix Night]

"That girl must have felt privileged just talking to me." Liam thought, looking at her from his table. "She was kind of cute though."
"Dude, get your head out of the clouds. It's time for class again,"said his right hand man, Jerome. As they exited the cafeteria, he gave Sophie one last look.

[Selena112]

She sighed, shaking her head. Then again, if something was wrong with Izzy... Liam Thompson might be the one to ask.

[Phoenix Night]

Class was so boring, Liam fell asleep. When he woke up, everyone was gone, and pasted to his face was a detention slip.

[Selena112]

The rest of Sophie's classes passed quickly. When she headed back to the dorm to look for Izzy, she was nowhere to be found.

[Phoenix Night]

He decided to skip detention because he never got caught. The school always seemed to have bigger problems than students avoiding disciplinary procedures.
He walked into the common room , sat down with his Ipod and played Angry Birds.

[Selena112]

Swallowing her worry, she started to check the rest of the school. She eventually ended up in the common room. Izzy wasn't there, either. She sat down nervously, deep in thought.

[Phoenix Night]

"Hey there, Sophie. Any sign of Izzy yet?"

[Selena112]

She looked up, startled again. "Uh, no. I looked all over school."

[Phoenix Night]

Liam was taken aback by the expression on Sophie's face. "I'm sorry. Did I startle you?"

[Selena112]

She shrugged. "Nah, I'm just jumpy."

[Phoenix Night]

"Oh, that's a relief. I thought someone had painted a mustache or something on my face," he said.


(And back to the self absorbed douche.)

[Selena112]

She rolled her eyes. "Will you help me look for Izzy off campus?"

[Phoenix Night]

"If you want me to. I have a car."

[Selena112]

She nodded. "That'd be good."

[Phoenix Night]

"I thought it would,"Liam said, flashing one of his brilliant smiles."So, when do you want to start?"

[Selena112]

"You're driving, so it's up to you," she said.

[Phoenix Night]

"Okay then. Let's go."Liam said, getting up.

[Selena112]

Sophie stood up, walking toward Liam.

[Phoenix Night]

Liam led her to his car and hoped that once they arrived at their destination, she wouldn't be terrified. He opened the door for her, then let himself into the vehicle. He puy the keys in the ignition and started the car.

[Selena112]

She smiled a bit, and got into the car.

[Phoenix Night]

Once they had cleared the school gates, Liam turned the radio on and asked,"Anything you prefer?"
