The Food Court

[Nick Hampton]

Nick watched as the blonds went at it. He felt sorry for the shorter one. Not only because it was Heather she was going up against..but because she could see how messed up Heather was making her. He wanted to help, but he knew for how this girl was presenting herself that if he stepped in, she would be greatly offended.

"Is she always like this?" Nick asked Neah pointing to Annabelle.

[Annabelle Ventus]

"I may be small..that that doesn't mean I can kick you butt.." Annabelle says and walks over to her. "I'll give you one last chance to get away from all of us...if you don't, I can't control what I will do to you...ESECUALLY if you touch him one more time.." she says gently putting her arms around Nate's neck and she said something, but only to get Heather away. "...He's mine.."

[Neah Brightmore]

Neah looked down at Nick for a moment and shook her head, "Not really, but I guess that Heather just seems to bring it out in people." She said, and lowered her eyes to her brother. Worrylines marked between her eyes over her nose.

[Alavda Noir]

"Yeah, Belle's normally more cheerful," Alavda agreed. Her eyes widened and her jaw nearly dropped when Belle called Nate hers.

"Mon Dieu...I think that I just had a...," she looked for the word, "a fangirl moment..."

[Heather Delani]

The cold smile returned once more to Heather's face, arrogance flowed out of her like air from a balloon.

"He's yours for now, but enjoy it while you can. After all, the chase is always more fun when there's competition. Though I guess calling you competition is like totally giving you more credit than you deserve." She said.

She turned like she was about to walk away, then looked over her shoulder, "Toodles Nate, love."

[Jessa Johanson]

Jessa was looking down at the table, her hands in her lap. She was clearly uncomfortable with all of the negative energy flowing around. She just wished that Heather would simply go away so that things could go back to the peace that it was before she came in.

Aralynn noticed Jessa's body language and knew instantly that the hostility was getting to her. She put her hand ontop of Jessa's and squeezed gently. Jessa looked up slightly and smiled a small smile at Aralynn before putting her eyes back on the table.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle took the smoothie that she had and throw it over at Heather, hitting her in the head and seeing it flow down her "perfect blond curls". "I warned you..keep his name..out of your filthy mouth..!" she shouted and put her head on the top of Nate's head. "I'm sorry..I'm so sorry..I'm overreacted..." she said, a sad tone in her voice.

She hated getting angry. She knew once she did, she couldn't control it..and that is just what happened.

[Nick Hampton]

"Wonder if she is like that because she likes him so much..." Nick ponders and looks over at Neah and Ala. "You think it's because she's protective of him?" Though it sounded silly to him, he wondered if anyone else thought it could be the same thing.

Then Nick turned his head and saw what had just happened and smiled. That girl deserved it, every last bit of that smoothie going down her hair and onto her wonderful clothes. She shouldn't have pushed Annabelle so far. "What a shot!" Nick said smiling at Annabelle but notices her head was already down.

"Is she alright?" He asked Nate seeing that he could slightly hear her talking to him. She looked over at Jessa and smiled at her. "Don't worry, I think it's all over now.." He said and put his hand on her shoulder and gave her a reassuring nod.

[Heather Delani]

Heather stood there for a moment, her eyes wide, and her mouth open. She was in complete shock at what just happened. She put her arms out slightly at her sides and looked down at her shirt, then touched her hair, pulling her hand away to look at the thick cold liquid that dripped from it.

She glared at Annabelle, her face turning a bright red from rage. "You little... how dare you! You just made a huge mistake. I'm going to ruin you, do you hear me? I'm going to go tell my daddy and he's going to make you wish you've never stepped foot in this town." She made a growl sound and stormed away.

[Bree Aldertree]

"Maybe she just thought you looked hot and wanted to cool you off!" Bree called after Heather, but right after she said that, she cracked up. She was laughing so hard that she couldn't breath.

"That.. was.. hilarious!" She said in between fits of giggles.

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate relaxed and turned slightly so that he could hug Annabelle without making her move her head from his.

"Its alright, its not your fault." He whispered. He stood up and took her hand, "Lets go get you another smoothie." He said.

[Jessa Johanson]

Jessa looked up at Nick and smiled, she felt like she was behaving like a child and hated it. She pushed her hair back over her shoulder and straightened up. She patted Nick's hand that was on her shoulder and cleared her throat.

"I guess its never a boring moment around you guys is it?" She said, talking to the people that were at the table originally.

[Alavda Noir]

When Annable threw the shake at Heather, Alavda put a hand over her mouth and gasped. Her eyes just remained wide while Heather made her threat and stormed off, "Is she serious?" she wondered out loud.

Alavda laughed, "Yeah, never gets boring with these guys. I have to say, I've only been here a couple of days and I have yet to be bored."

[Annabelle Ventus]

"..I don't really want another one.." she said and looked down. "I should have handled that better...I'm soo sorry" She says, moving her hand away from Nate's and sits back down in her seat and stares at the table. She knew she must look like she was being too over-dramatic, but she couldn't help it. She hated herself when she gets mad and this is how she learned to handle it.

[Nick Hampton]

Nick frowned when he saw what Annabelle did. "Surely she's just upset.." he thought and walks over to her. "Um...you know, you did great, defending your friends..." He said to her and put his hand on her head and whispers in her ear.

"If she ever comes after you, look for me, I'll help you out...no one should have to take her alone.." he says and adds in. "And if you can't find me just look for the guy right in front of you.." he says smiling slightly but frowns again when he sees that she didn't even look up to acknowledge him."..S-somebody help?"
