The Food Court

[Alavda Noir]

Alavda found Zen's way of speaking very interesting. She wondered if she should go ahead and sit down or go order some pizza. She decided that she would go and get her food before sitting. That would be best. She hadn't fed for nearly a day, so she should be fine for a couple more days, but she never liked to take chances. She followed Bree.

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate held his hand up (the one that wasn't still holding onto Annabelle's) in a greeting and offered a slight smile. He felt someone looking at him and turned around to find who it could have been.

When he spotted the person, he fought back a groan of annoyance. "Want to go get our food now?" He asked Annabelle, then turned toward his sister to see if she was ready.

[Neah Brightmore]

Neah smiled cheerfully at Zen, "Hi, I'm Neah. Its nice to meet you." She said, "and I'll be right back apparently." She said and nodded at her brother. She sensed a slight change in him and looked around the food court to see what could have brought on the mild irritation. Thats when her eyes landed on the blonde in the smoothie shop, "Oh," She said.

[Heather Delani]

Heather saw Nate and Neah walk into the food court, and her eyes instantly zoomed in on Nate. She knew that he saw her, but he didn't say anything. She pushed her long blond hair over her shoulder and stood up. She made her way over toward the twins, thats when she noticed that Nate was also with the short blond girl from before.

When she noticed that Nate was holding the girl's hand, she narrowed her eyes. Thats when an idea popped into her head and she couldn't keep the smile from taking over her lips.

"Nate! Hi Lover boy!" She said and threw her arms around his neck, completely ignoring Annabelle.

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate fought back an annoyed groan, but he didn't hesitate to use his free hand to grab onto Heather's wrist and pull her away from himself. He stood back and looked at her with a frown.

"Hi Heather," He said, "I've told you before, I'm not your lover boy, boy toy, love, or dear so please don't call me that."

[Heather Delani]

Heather narrowed her eyes for a moment, but quickly recovered. She smiled sweetly, "Oh you're always so serious Nate. You should learn to loosen up some." She said.

She now glanced at Annabelle, but didn't say anything. She looked Annabelle up and then down, and then smirked.

"Well, toodles Nate." She said and turned around. She flipped her hair over her shoulder and walked away, adding a little more twist to her steps.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle saw what Heather had been doing, she was about to go off on her for annoying Nate, but she saw that he had taken pretty good care of it. When she saw her looking her up and down she glared and waited till she walked away to say. "Ya, you wish you were me right now don't you?" silently to herself, laughed and then looked up at Nate. "Ya, if you want to get food now I don't mind" She says smiling up at him. "You ready to get some pizza too, Neah?"

[Neah Brightmore]

Neah watched Nate, Annabelle, and Heather with great interest. She wondered what Heather was going to attempt to do next, she knew that Heather wasn't the type to simply walk away.

"Hm? Oh, yes. Lets get our food, and I'm also going to go get a smoothie. Would anyone else like one? I'll buy them while I'm in there." She said.

[Heather Delani]

Heather walked up to Szayel, who had just gotten his smoothie and flipped her hair over her shoulder once again, in a very flirtatious manner. She smiled at him and put her hand on his arm, in a very intimate manner.

"Hi there. I'm Heather, whats your name?" She asked, batting her eyelashes.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle reaches in her pocket and gets some money out. "Will this pay for one?" She asks then looks up at Nate. "You want one too? I don't mind paying for you." she says smiling up at him. Then had a though. "Actually, how about we just get the pizza now, and then I'll go with you to get the smoothies later Neah." She said. She had had enough of Heather's antics and she was going to have a word with her whether anyone wanted her to or not. Especially about treating Nate like an object to just stare at.

[Nate Brightmore]

"Neah can pay for everything, lets go to the pizza place. Neah always has to have a smoothie with her pizza when she's here or she goes crazy." Nate said. Neah stuck her tongue out at Nate.

"I'll get your pizza Neah, and you grab me a mocha latte, they sell them at the smoothie shop too." Nate said, Neah shrugged and asked what kind of smoothie Annabelle wanted. After Annabelle gave her answer, Nate let go of Annabelle's hand and put his arm around her shoulders.

"You don't mind that she's going on to get the drinks do you? Are you thinking about Heather? That girl is seriously annoying." He said, and headed toward the pizza stand with Annabelle.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle's eyes widened slightly and she looked slightly away. "..I don't like how she was treating you...plus she made fun of Ala, and she made fun of me...she's getting on my last nerve.." Annabelle says and clinches her fist just thinking about what Heather has done. "I was going to go over there and talk to Heather..but I guess right now wouldn't be the best time right?" She says looking back over at Nate and smiling.

[Nate Brightmore]

"She's not worth it." Nate said, and looked over toward the smoothie shop where Heather was now hitting on some other guy. He almost felt sorry for the guy, but he was thankful that it wasn't him.

"And anyway, why waste the time that you could be spending with me, talking to her? It would be such a pity." He said and winked playfully.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle laughs and decided she was gonna be the witty one this time. "Oh, I just think your jealous, upset because you can't have me all to yourself huh?" she says gently bumping her elbow into his side then laughs. "It's ok, if so, I don't mind giving you my attention. I would actually rather do so." She ways putting her arm around his waist due to the fact that she is much shorter then him and didn't want to hurt herself by trying to reach his shoulder.

[Szayel]

Szayel had just put his mouth on his straw when he was touched by an unknown girl. He couldn't have seen it coming. He looked at her hand that was on him like it was contaminated. His body language poured out, "Please don't touch me...", but he hid it well and answered to Heather out of sheer courtesy. "I'm... Szayel." He then began to take another sip of his smoothie, but was, yet again, interrupted...
