Don't Tread on me! (Quenten, any)

[Quenten Ferris]

After the shootings and him "saving" a couple of people, Quenten was no long restricted to staying just in the library at the school.

He strutted down the halls of Gould like he owned the building once again. Many teachers rolled their eyes but knew they had to let him into class. He took a deep pleasure in making lives a living hell yet once again!

Who could he pick on? There was Cat but she was like the ice cream on top of the cake. He scanned the halls for his victim. There was the usual skanks, hoes, nerds, geeks what was it about people not wanting to change?

He was ready to give up he headed back to his locker. Maybe the bitch he was sharing with would be there. He rounded the corner and no luck.

He sighed and leaned against a wall. Today was boring as hell!! He stood up and punched the wall behind him as it were the one at fault.

He pulled back and went to hit it again when someone grabbed his arm from doing it. He looked behind him to see who it was who dared to cross his path.

[Fallon Cotton]

Fallon had a tough week. After the shooting she had to go down to the police station to give a statement. Then she was told she might need to come back for a line up even though she never saw the guys. Other then that Fallon retreated to her room. She was just not ready to talk and interact. She wanted to be left alone. Her siblings had been great but for a few days, Fallon had been hiding. She finally came out for supposed family time over the weekend which sucked. At least she was not alone.

Finally Monday arrived and Fallon was never so happy to have school. She needed out of the house. She was going crazy in there. So far she was good on taking her meds and feeling okay. She had some nightmares, but other then that Fal was back on track despite the tragedy. Fal had tried to be there for Ezzie as much she could, but it was hard with a step momster like Sandra. Of course this also meant Fal was barely afraid of people. She had faced the worst. Or so she thought.

Fal headed to her locker and then to class. It was still crowded around here. Part of her wondered why the schools were still merged, but she did not really care. Fal rounded a corner and headed to her classroom when she saw some guy hitting the wall. It was right next to the door. The guy stood between her and the door. She could go around him, but either way the moment she opened the door it would hit him. So instead of letting him hit the wall again. Fallon kindly stopped the guys hand and smiled sweetly, "Excuse me, but I need to get into the classroom and I would rather not hit you with the door." Of course she had no idea who she was talking too.

[Quenten Ferris]

Quenten stopped at the voice. It sounded so innocent, so fresh.

Very virginal. The kind of voice he liked to hear! "Sorry sweetheart, just been a rough few days." He lied to her but calming down. He observed her, thinking of her as a wolf would think of a lamb as its dinner.

He stepped out of her way. "You know, why attend class? I mean they'll just want to talk about last week and how everyone is feeling. I mean who needs that kind of shit?" He was slick when he wanted to be.

"I was gonna go skip out myself, too damn nice to be cooped up all day." He wouldn't try anything, not just yet anyway. He wanted to gain her trust first.

"I really hate to go out there alone though, a little company would be nice." A Cheshire grin playing on his lips. "So what do you say, just you and me and the sunshine in the warm air?" This would be too perfect if she agreed to it.

He knew he had to play his cards correctly in order to have her eating from his hands.

[Fallon Cotton]

Fallon lived in her own little work. So naieve and innocent in many ways. She was childish and very girlish in a sense. She had that girly giggle. Which is just what she did as the guy talked to her. He was cute. Fal liked cute guys. She smiled at him and blinked a few times. Had she paid more attention she just might know who Quenten Ferris is and what he had done to Cat. However, Fal had no idea. So she had no idea what he was thinking.

"I know. I wish they would let it go. Does not help me forget what I heard if they keep speaking about it. It was so scary." She admitted in a soft voice. "I don't know...skipping...I mean..." She bit her lower lip and contemplated it. She barely knew the guy, but being outside sounded nice. Very nice.

"I do like to draw outside. I design clothes." She told him. "I like to sit by the beach and just draw." She smiled. Fal was flirtting a little. She always did with cute guys. Quenten was charming. He hada very hot smile and it made Fal feel a little more at ease. "Once won't hurt...right..." She said really thinking about it.Something in her gut told her no. Told her to not do this, but she found herself very interested and decided to shake her head, "Okay...lets go."

[Quenten Ferris]

She had the giggle. That adorable innocent giggle. She was going to be like putty in his hands, it was too perfect.

"That had to be something," he stated. "I have no idea how I would have reacted." Yes it was a lie but he wanted to say something to keep her calm and not start thinking back to the previous week. "Think of it this way, it'll clear your head being outside, make you forget your problems." He egged her on, almost as if he was saying, "Join the dark side."

"See there you go, the beach. We can go there and listen to the waves, no one to bother us." The snake was tempting Eve without the use of an apple.

She finally agreed to go. YES! SCORE! He slid a gentle but cozy arm around her. "Thats what I wanted to hear." He smiled, there was no way anyone or anything could ruin this for him.

"Let's get going before the bell goes off for class to start, otherwise who knows who'll come after us." He started to escort Fal down the hall towards the door, the mouse had taken the bait and soon the cat would strike.

[Rye Ferris]

Rye was doing his duty as a teacher and helping kids get over the previous week tragedy. He was also making sure his brother followed the rules of house arrest. He hoped Q was learning a lesson. Rye was fixing things in his science classroom. Today he was teaching the kids about not mixing certain chemicals. THis was always a fun class. The kids loved it when things exploded.

Rye was writing something on the board when he heard a giggle and then the sound of his brothers voice. Oh crap. Rye dropped the marker and headed out too the hall. He saw Q and some unknown young looking girl heading to the door. Thats not good. Rye followed them and stooped them both before they got to the door. "Where do you both think you are going? You should head to class and you Q need to come with me. The nurse needs to see you for your shots." Rye said giving Q that look. No way in hell was he walking out of here with her look. Rye crossed his arms in front of his chest daring Q to start somthing.

Rye wished his brother was not like he was. He wished he would grow up ands top acting out. Sooner or later it was going to catch up to him and there was only so much Rye could protect Q from.

[Fallon Cotton]

Fallon had no idea Quenten was the predator and her the prey. If she had known she would have ran the other way. However, Fal was blissfully ignorant. So she headed out toward the doors with Quenten. "I love the beach and the peace and quiet. Nothing beats just sitting back and relaxing with good company." She said with such an innocent smile.

"I should show you my drawings sometime. I would love to draw you if I could. It would be nice. " Fallon loved making friends. Perhaps Quenten could be a new friend. She had been making a few lately. Of course odds are he would never know her secret, but that was okay. She just liked having a cute guy to hang out with ans talk too. What was so wrong with that. It was innocent and harmless.

All the sudden a guy she barely recognized but knew as a teacher stopped them. Awww man. She had been looking froward to skipping. "Ummm o..okay..it was nice meeting you Quenten." She did not get the nurse comment but she held her book bag close to her body and headed off to her class embarrassed she had been caught trying to skip.
