Any activity taking place in the student lounge goes here. In this room you will find couches, chairs, tables, a television and vending machines. This is a place where students can hang out or study.

Christine Owen

After saying goodbye to Nick, Christine looked at her map and saw there was a student lounge. Well, that would seem like a pretty quite place to go to. She really didn't want cafe food but just something simple. And she would also not be far from the First Aid room should something happen to Noah. Was she still thinking of Noah after Nick? Well, there was nothing wrong with that since they were nothing but friends.

She went to a cooler vending machine and took out a tuna sandwich and then some milk. Heading into a room with a television she noticed it had a built in DVD player with a list of various movies. A smile came across her face as she saw Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera on the list.

"Oh sure, why the hell not?" She muttered to herself as she curled up on the couch and started the movie.

Noah scratched his stomach, and opened the door to the student lounge, instantly grinning. Whoever was watching Phantom of the Opera had great taste, very very...

"Christine?" He called puzzled. Well, that was fate. After being dismissed from the First Aid (of his own accord) - he had wanted to see her, slightly worried as he knew deep down Nick wanted more from her. He was sure. Never the less, he would be polite to the lad, no nasty buisness. Noah could be nice. When there was something worth being nice for.

"Christine." He said again, more relaxed this time. "So you're the person with great taste?"

Christine Owen

After Christine had finished her sandwich, she simply lost herself in the movie. How many times had she seen the movie now? And yet she still loved watching it and losing herself. She would close her eyes and imagine herself in the role of Christine. She would also ponder what it would have been like to be in Paris, France at that time and what it would be like to be in the Paris Opera. What it would be like to have two men compete for her affections.

She imagined herself being led down into the Phantom's lair and into the boat, going across the mysterious lake. And finally...she imagined herself slowly being seduced by his voice as he sang Music of the Night to her. As she leaned her head on the back of his chest and touched his mask, she sighed. And when she turned to face him....he suddenly changed. His face became....Noah

And this time it was his voice which entranced her and whose fingers were caressing her face and holding onto her waist. "Mmmm...Noah." She whispered. "Yes, serenade me with your voice." She twitched slightly on the couch as her day dream continued. "Yes, let me...." She then paused for a moment before her eyes shot open. "Noah?"

She then turned and nearly jumped out of her skin as she saw who was staring back at her. "Noah! What...what are you doing here? You...you are supposed to be in first aid!" She pushed him. "You scared the hell out of me! Don't ever do that again!" She paused and took in deep breaths.

Gavin

Gavin wandered around a little, waving a few that waved in his direction. He slowly found his way to the students lounge where he could hear a movie had always been meaning to see, and yet never quite got around to doing.

"Hey, sorry to interupt your movie watching experiance." He smiled as he saw a boy and girl in the room. "But I just thought I would grab a snack, and since your here..."he paused and waved at them both as he said "Gavin Wisemen."

Christine Owen

Christine was still angry at Noah for bringing her out of her daydream and now someone else had come into the lounge? Well, at least now she knew what it would be like to have privacy if she ever needed it...she most likely wouldn't get any.

She gave a soft smile at Gavin. "Nice...nice to meet you Mr. Wisemen. I'm...I'm Christine Owen." She briefly gestured to Noah. "This is Noah Irons. We were just....talking."

Noah grinned as he heard Christine softly talking to herself. Daydreaming? And about him too. Again, he felt that ecstatic jolt pulse through his stomach, even when she got up angry, as if he had purposely walked in on that little moment. Before he could say anything, some knit interrupted him. As Christine introduced themselves, Noah briefly shook his hand and smiled.

"Christine pet, it's ok. Don't be embarressed." He smiled at her reassuringly, gently touching her shoulder, lost for a moment.

"Seriously love, don't worry."

Walking to the vending machine, he tried very hard not to roll on the floor in hysterics. He had heard everything... Could it be she slightly felt for him? Probably not, well... One could hope.

Moving back to the pair, he sat down next to Christine and grinned again, and as sly as a fox, slipped a note into her hand without Gavin looking, reading;

"How come we don't get a moment alone in this place? How about a stroll on the lawn - care to join?"

Gavin

"hey no need to be rude man, was just passing through, in search of a coke." He went to the vending machine, and got one. "See?" he raised it up so he could, smiling. "Seems I'm interupting everyone's 'privet' time. So I will be on my way."

He walked out. "Later Chris." he waved as he walked out, not even looking at them. Once from sight he sighed. First Richie and now Noah...seems this school was just an expensive dating agency.

Christine Owen

Christine waved politely at Gavin. "Nice to meet you."

Now she was really angry! First Noah scaring her and now him practically claiming his own territory by his attitude toward Gavin! She glanced down at the note Noah had given her and then turned toward him.

"What is your problem, Noah? Why don't you just....piss on the furtniture to mark it? Or...even better yet, why don't you just piss on me? Why do you have to act like this in front of every guy that comes in my presence? Do you think that...every guy I see, I have some kind of infatuation with? He was just trying to be friendly and you treated him like some kind of...wretch!"

She stood up. "You know something,Noah? I...I was actually starting to like you. I thought of you as a friend and thought that if things progressed that maybe you could be more than that. But now?" She shook her head. "I can not be friends with someone who is possessive, Noah. I just can't. I'm...I'm sorry."

Putting her hands to her face to cover her tears, she ran out of the lounge and headed toward the outside.

OOC: If Noah goes after her(like he won't lol) post him finding her under a tree on the lawn ok?

Noah actually laughed as Christine stormed off, her attitude completely uncalled for. Completely. Turning to Gaving he winked; "That woman is mad. Absolutely mad. And a hypocrite. I just heard her..." Noah sighed, deciding not to bitch about her under threat of castration.

"Look, whatever you think, I'm not being hostile towards you. Christine seems to blame me for a lot of things. So... I'm going for a walk as planned. I hope to see you soon? Maybe get a coke? Bite to eat? I'm room number one if you need me." He smiled, shaking Gavins hand again, and sighing, moving to the lawn.

((sorry Gavin is always out of the room, walking away down the hall))

As Angelica walked into the academy she passed the student lounge, irt seemed quiet and her roommate would probably be in the room so she decided to go in.

She looked around the room, and there was no-one esle in sight, she curled up in the corner of one of the sofas, she took her note book out of her purse and began to write down her thoughts on the day, writing in her notebook helped for her to escpae from the world around her, she entered her own little world and could think about the mistakesshe had made and the decisions good and bad.

As she wrote she began to hum to herself and before long she was singing, completely unaware of who or what was around her.
