Who: Alexis and Kyle
Where: School
When: Late afternoon

Jonathan Byrd was not pleased with the idea of leaving his daughter up at school for the night, but an inability to get to the school kind of killed his argument. While Alexis wouldn't have chosen it for herself either, she wasn't bothered near as much, since she had plenty of people around to keep her company. At some point she hoped to track down Lily and Breezy, and maybe they could practice on their new routine, but for the moment she just wanted to watch the snow. She tried to feel it from her side of the window, tried to meditate of it, and while she was doing well for a while, it suddenly stopped. Alexis sighed and pressed her fingers to the cold glass.

Where: MSHS, Chemistry Class
When: Afternoon

When Alexis got to chemistry, she still hadn't decided what to say to Kyle, though she thought she might owe him an apology for being snippy. She didn't know how to handle the fact that he hadn't seen any ghosts at this point, seeing as she had one practically stalking her when she was at home. The ghost boy had followed her from room to room, peering in from the outside, till she finally decided to try and get some sleep. If the curtains were closed, then she couldn't see him, but that didn't help her sleep, constantly worrying he might wander inside. She was exhausted and spent most of the day thinking about where she could go to nap that wasn't at home.

Kyle walked into class soon after Alexis had and he hesitated in the doorway before finally walking to their table to sit down. He hadn't talked to her since their texting and was pretty sure she was still irritated with him. Which was fine, since he was a bit irritated with her too. He sat down and set his book bag on the table before opening it to dig around for his homework which he'd actually gotten finished. He was just stubborn enough to figure that if she wanted to talk to him, she would. If not, he could do the silent treatment just fine.

Alexis peered around the corner, then screamed before jumping back. He was still there, looking in her window, watching. Or waiting. She didn't care which. "Go away!" she yelled, then shut the curtains before backing across the room. Could ghosts walk through walls? What if he came inside? Even with the ghost out of view, she could still seem him in her mind, a bullet hole in the center of his forehead. Alexis picked up her phone, sending off a text with shaky hands. hey, are you busy? i'm home alone, kinda freaking out, and would like some company - alexis

Kyle was currently in his room, playing Gods of War on his Playstation when his phone buzzed. He paused his game and reached for it, noting immediately it was from Alexis. Frowning at her message, he replied quickly. at home. parents being all weird about me staying in. why are u freaking out? everything okay? It seemed like the weird paranoia was spreading to the entire town. He didn't quite understand it.

When: After School

Who: Alexis and Kyle
When: After hockey practice
Where: Don't know yet!

After hockey practice ended, Kyle quickly showered and changed before saying goodbye to Gabe and a couple of the other guys. He was suppose to meet up with Alexis at the school, since she would have been finishing up with dance practice around the same time. He was looking forward to just hanging out with her for awhile. Knowing they had plans, he left his bike at home that morning so he would be able to walk with her, and once he got back to the school, he dumped his things into his locker before heading out to track her down. He hoped she hadn't changed yet, since he really liked the little uniforms they wore. Then again, they were only practicing, so chances were she wasn't dressed up. Not that it mattered. Kyle found he quite liked the way she looked in just about anything - and more so nothing at all.

Alexis had been looking forward to hanging out with Kyle the whole time during practice, only afterward realizing that she didn't have a place to shower like the guys did. Not that she got super sweaty, but she was self conscious about it, and she didn't want him to think that she smelled. It was just something she'd have to deal with, apparently, and as the practice area began to clear, she took a seat on the floor to change her shoes.

Who: Alexis and Kyle
Where: MSHS, Chemistry Class
When: Morning

Alexis stepped into Chemistry class in a good mood, though the slightest bit nervous about seeing Kyle again. She hadn't heard from him since he left Saturday morning, but she told herself that didn't mean anything. At least, that was her hope. She still wasn't sure how these things worked and she didn't want to read into it incorrectly. While she'd thought about calling him, or texting him, she wasn't all that sure what to say. And now it was Monday. Smiling, she stepped into the room and headed towards their shared lab desk.

When: Late night
Where: Bonfire/homeward bound/Alexis' house
Warning: NSFW

It'd been a fun evening, at least for Kyle, hanging out with his friends and spending time with Alexis. He'd had a couple drinks, but nothing that would prevent him from being able to walk Alexis home. It would have probably been more comfortable, and warmer, to get a ride but he'd already had to deal with uneasiness of driving there, he didn't think he could keep from totally freaking out on the way home after having had a bit of alcohol. It was late by the time he said his goodbyes to his friends and went to track down Alexis. He was looking forward to the "alone" time with her, given they'd been surrounded by people all night. A goodnight kiss was definitely in the cards.

Alexis had deemed the bonfire a success, pleased with the turn out and how long people actually stayed. It was cold enough that she'd been worried about them leaving early, but the fire had done it's job, and the group lingered as long as they could find warmth. As the fire began to die, she began to search out Kyle, a couple of blankets in her hands, and a bag on her shoulder. Even if she wasn't walking perfectly straight, she was sure she was doing fine enough to get home. Now she was glad she didn't have the car. "Hey you," she smiled, strolling up to him lazily. "Ready to take off?"

Who: Alexis and Kyle
Where: Ice rink, then Kyle's house
When: Night

The energy from the game never seemed to leave Alexis, who was still full of energy after the game was over. How she'd made it this far through high school without attending that sort of event, she didn't know, but she was more excited than ever that her life had turned the way it had. She'd had a great time dancing for the crowd, relieved when she'd remembered all the steps, and now she had another week before their next performance. As the crowds started out of the rink, she hung around the locker room exit, waiting for Kyle in her dance uniform. She'd not thought to bring a change of clothes, and though she had the jacket to help keep her warm, that did nothing for her legs. On the bright side, her dad had let her take the car. She didn't need to be walking home this late, especially dressed as she was.

Kyle came out of the locker room, freshly showered and changed, his bags in hand. He sought out Alexis and grinned when he spotted her. He tried not to let his eyes stare too blatantly at her body, but... wow. He was disappointed he didn't get to see her shaking her ass between periods. "Hey," he greeted with a wide grin. He was in a better mood now that they had won. And Gabe hadn't seem terribly pissed off with him afterward, so that was always a bonus. "You're going to be cold walking in that." Not that he minded at all. He had a hundred different suggestions on how he could keep her warm.

Who: Kyle and Alexis
When: Morning
Where: Chemistry class

It had been a long night with Kavin, even longer once the guy had left as Kyle spent most of the rest of the night on the internet researching detox. It sounded dangerous, and painful, and he was more than ready to text Kavin throughout the day to check on him. At least to make sure he was still conscious. Being tired meant that he didn't shoot any hoops that morning, and his homework had been left untouched, which meant another lecture from his tutor during lunch. Rubbing his eyes as he walked into chemistry class, Kyle set his bag on the table and rested his head on it before closing his eyes. He could do a five minute nap. Eight minutes if the teacher was slow in getting class started.

"Rough night?" Alexis asked as she strolled into class, taking her seat beside Kyle at the lab table. She couldn't tell if he was tired or sick, but he didn't look all that great either way. It'd been a while since she'd seen him with his head down on his desk. Then again, his friends seemed to have a lot going on in their lives lately and maybe it was dragging him down. She heard enough about them from everyone else that he didn't even have to tell her.

Who: Kyle and Alexis
Where: From the party to Alexis' house
When: Late night

The more Alexis drank, the more fun she had dancing, and was relieved to find that she hadn't climbed up on any tables by the end of the night. Peyton was supposed to keep her from such foolishness, but she hadn't seen the other girl in a while, which probably meant she'd gone home or passed out in the guest room. Alexis wasn't too worried, since Isaac was there, and there were enough people around that were friends and would take care of her. She wasn't in quite the same position, but walking in a straight line probably wasn't much of a possibility either. Dancing, though, she could still manage. Unfortunately, it was the band's last song.

It was the band's last song, and Kyle was pretty sure it was time to walk Alexis home. She was definitely tipsy, plus walking her home meant he could get out of helping clean crap up. Maybe by the time he got back it would just be Kavin and Nate and they could just chill for the rest of the night. "You ready to go?" Kyle asked, murmuring in Alexis's ear as things began to die down. He noted, several times that night, that she smelled really good.

Who: Kyle and Alexis
When: Evening
Where: Ze Circus!

It was close to six by the time Kyle knocked on Alexis's door. He'd taken a few extra minutes getting ready that evening, since he was pretty sure the entire evening was a date-type thing. Kyle always cared about how he looked, even when he was just out with the guys, but when he was going to be out with a cute girl he was a bit more picky about what button down to wear, which cologne to put on and what sneakers to wear. He smoothed his hands over his hair while he waited for her to answer and then wondered if he should have brought her flowers. His mind raced until he came to the conclusion that a nicer date to dinner and a movie might be more flower oriented than smelly animals and a rowdy party. And that was all dependent on if they both had fun tonight to begin with.

No matter how much time Kyle might have put into fixing his hair and deciding what to wear, Alexis was sure she'd spent more. She'd torn her closet apart trying to decide what was appropriate for the night-- for a date, a circus, and a house party. Jeans seemed appropriate, and she finally settled on a v-neck sweater in baby blue. For all the time it'd taken her, it seemed like a pretty simple outfit. When he knocked at the door, she grabbed her jacket and said goodbye to her dad, hoping that this wouldn't result in one of his protective parent maneuvers. It was a first date and he didn't need to interfere. "Hi," Alexis smiled, stepping outside as she shut the door behind her. He smelled good, better than usual, and she'd have noticed by now, sitting next to him every day in class.

Who: Alexis and Kyle
When: 2nd Period
Where: Chemistry class

After dealing with his slightly mangled bike and the soreness on his side from ramming into that car earlier, Kyle had managed to make it to school and played a round of hoops with some friends. Stretching out the muscles had helped, but he knew he was going to bruise. So was the life when one rode a bicycle everywhere. By the time second period rolled around, he was pretty school in every new whisper making the rounds. He blew almost all of them off, but he certainly didn't shut anyone down if they tried to talk to him about it. Unless they dealt with Gabe. Then he told people to fuck off.

Who: Alexis and Kyle
When: 2nd Period
Where: Chemistry class

It had been a fairly normal day for Kyle so far. He'd gotten to school early enough to take over the gym with a few friends and shoot some hoops and bullshit before school actually started. Classes came and went as usual, and nothing really seemed out of sorts for Kyle. Except the round of rumors that continually picked up speed through the halls until they were hard to ignore or miss. Like Chrissy dating Thom Harkin. He'd really thought it was just another bullshit rumor, but it seemed like this time it was true. Which was fucking bizarre and Kyle was fairly certain that Thom and Chrissy dating might just be a sign of the apocalypse. It also made him wonder if Thom was aware Chrissy might be knocked up - but he was guessing a big fat fucking no on that one.
