static2.animepaper.net/upload/thumbs/wallpapers/Final-Fantasy-VII/%5Blarge%5D%5BAnimePaper%5Dwallpapers_Final-Fantasy-VII_crapmonster_12191.jpgShe use to be an A student. She was the typical grade grubbing student. She was on the honor roll. There wasn't a person she didn't know. She ran her high school even as a freshman. She had the money she had the status and she used it to her advantage. But when a few problems rose for her and some events altered her life.
Her father went insane. He thought her mother was cheating on him. Her father put her and her mother on a schedule. He watched their every move, their every purchase. Life became hell for them. Her mother started to pull away and she got into some bad shit.
Adrian started going to parties, broke curfew and her father was pissed. He started to beat her. It was common for her to show up at school with bruises broken bones and black eyes. The school nurses started to get concerned but nobody could pin her father. He was the best lawyer in the stated.
One night her father snapped. He brutally beathe her mother and then shot her several times till she lay motionless on the living room florr. He then turned on her. He started to beat her hour after hour. This torture went on for weeks for weeks till he shot her. He thought that he had killed her so he left her to bleed out on the floor.
He came back into the room after several hours to check on her, she was still breathing. He leaned down to her "Are you going to listen to me now? Or do you need to be punished some more?" Her eyes were closed but she heard every word over the ringing in her ears. "Yes" she choked out. He scooped her up ito his arms. Adrian shook from fear against his hold. He tossed her into his truck and drove her to the hospital.
Schoo was her only escape from him. Though he had everything timed out from her first class to her last and how long it took her to get home. She could barely take a breath without him knowing about it. She knew that she just had to get away but she didn't know how.
Adrian got ready for school; her father drove her to school today. She had a few fresh bruises on her arms and a black eye that was just starting to go away. She got out of the truck without saying a word to her father and he didn't say anything to her. He just drove off and she turned to walk into the school. She didn't get two steps before running into someone. She fell backwards and landed on the near by lawn. She just sat there waiting for someone to yell at her.
(OOC: Need someone to play the guy that she bumped into. He can be a transfer student or just another student. He is her ticket away from her father. I want things to move slowly. Not much else to say, it's pretty explanatory but if you have questions please ask but you don't have to ask to join)

Looking a bit surprised when he felt the shove; turning to find a girl on the ground, rolling his eyes he offered his hand to help her up. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." he looked at her arms then to her face-recognizing who she was," Oh my- you are quite roughed up huh...Shall I take you to the nurse?" He asked sincerely since he thought it was just another girl who was texting and walking, not the girl who was always in trouble- that the school was always talking about, hush-hush though-in case she heard-though he figured she already knew about it. She used to be the queen bee of the school-in middle school he used to be in her fan club-he knew her well enough to assume she wasn't emo. Placing a hand on her elbow and the other hand gripping hers to help her get up and to gain balance.

As she was hoisted to her feet her face white washed. "Um n-n-no nurse thanks" she said through stuttered words. She brushed herself off trying to prevent as much pain to herself as possible. "Thanks for not yelling" she said softly. She brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes and looked at the person, he looked familiar but she just couldn't remember him through her fogged memory "Sorry that I bumped into you" She let her hand fall to her side after she realized that she had still been holding his hand from when he helped her up. "I've got to go now" she said in passing and then hurried into the school. She made a bee line for her locker and stuffed her things in. She grabbed only a few things from her locker and then hurried to her first class.
Before she made it to her first class she saw the school nurse walking in her direction and Adrian quickly ducked into a near by classroom. She took a deep breath and exhaled, she really didn't want to have to go through another inspection from the school nurse and another excuse that she has probably already used which would result in another report that her father would find out about and the principal and Adrian really didn't need to deal with that right now.
She poked her head out of the classroom and the nurse was gone. She relaxed and calmly walked out of the classroom and walking into her first class taking her normal spot in the back near the window to wait for the bell to ring.

Looking a still a bit off, he was about to object when she said 'no' the the nurse but thought better of it. Nodding as she scurried away through the other students, he sighed. Then headed off to his own class on the third floor in science-he hoped the teacher was forgiving today, unlike her usual horribleness. Upon entering the class room he saw Adrian again only in the back of the class-her usual perch. Taking his usual in the front he turned and tried to wave at her but he didn't feel that she was paying any attention. Looking at his wrist watch, he saw they had about five minutes before class started, and the teacher was usually late. Getting up he went to the back of the class, passing the other gossiping and obtuse students he never really liked. Sitting in the desk beside her he commented just loud enough for her to hear," Well look who I found yet again..." Smiling he gave her a pleasant look, hoping he hadn't scared her too bad since she looked a bit out of it.

Adrian turned her head sharply towards the voice and was surprise to find that someone was talking to her and that it had been the guy she had run into. Her face turned a little red 'maybe he decided that he should yell at me' she thought to herself. She took a deep breath and waited a few seconds but no yelling came again. She released her breath and looked at him. "I didn't know you were in this class" she said in a soft tone and then turned her face down toward her desk.
She didn't really know what to say, Adrian had been in a normal conversation with someone other then her father for a long time now. And her conversations with her father weren't really normal so her social skills had dropped drastically.

"Its alright- I'm usually in the front anyhow-seeing as your usually in the back-I don't blame you with the damned teacher being a bitch and all..." He said with a small laugh seeing her hanging her head as he tried to cheer her up. "So....Did you by chance have a partner for the up coming science project? If you want we can team up and 'Ace' it?"He said with a persuasive smile-only as it turned into a frown as the teacher came stumbling into the class room with her usual hang over and a scowl on her face. "EVERY ONE TO THEIR SEATS OR YOU'LL HAVE DETENTION!" She screeched, passing glares to every one who wasn't seated properly. HE tapped her desk in a way to say 'bye' then scurried over to his desk-hoping over a desk in order to get to his. Once seated the teacher began her usual rant about how bad the class was, Joan caught him self looking back to see if the girl was actually interacting with others which he hadn't seen her do before in school. As he finished his paper that was the classes' assignment he casually looked about the class-his eyes falling on Adrian.

He wanted to be her science partner, she wondered how that would go over with her father. Especially since he was a guy and she knew that her father despised boy. Adrian looked up at him and was about to answer his question but the teacher walked into the classroom before she could. Adrian gave him a smile before he went back to his seat.
She quickly got to work on the class assignment and finished it. She already had her homework assignment for the night. That was one good thing. All her homework was pre-assigned to her because the principle had to approve it with her father before she would get the work. The class quickly passed today and she was actually kind of happy that it did. She didn't want to deal with the teacher and the teacher hinting at the fact that Adrian got "Special attention" she hated when the teacher would pick on her.
Adrian looked up at the clock just watching the time tick by and it seemed to just slow down now which sucked in her mind.

As he looked at Adrian he thought of all the times the rotten teacher had been mean to her about her 'special' situation. He couldn't for the life of him think of what the 'special' part was, but he was curious about it. Seeing as he father was a major lawyer in the state, he could only see the issue if she didn't wanna do her work and her dad spoiled her, but he kinda doubted that. 'Being a science partner with her might be a good idea make her a social butterfly again' he thought with a smile. He kinda was looking forward for the project now-if she agreed-if not then he'd be working alone yet again.
He turned and looked at the clock-seeing only 5 minutes till lunch he sighed.After lunch was math-he hated math. He didn't care for it one bit-thought he never had a problem with it when he had his parents around-they had been helping him with numbers but since then with the numbers not making any since he just didn't care any more.

The bell rang finally and she took a deep breath. She slowly got out of her seat and started to put her things away. She listened to all the students gather their things and rush out of the classroom. When Adrian felt confident enough she picked up her bag and head out of the classroom keeping her eyes on the ground. If she didn't make eye contact with the teacher she wouldn't stop her.
She counted the seconds and when she reached the door she quickly opened it and walked out. "Phew" She ran a hand through her hair and walked to her locker. As she neared her locker she quickly looked up and noticed a couple girls standing in front of her locker. "Great" she huffed to herself. "Forget it" she said and turned to just walk to the cafeteria to get a snack.

"Hey!" Joan called to Adrian when she was about to enter the cafeteria, seeing her not go to her locker because the girls. "Hey Adrian-about earlier-I was wondering what you though about being science partners? Because If you didn't really want a partner that was okay because I would understand if you didn't want a partner but I could help you with science in general...I'm sorry I'm rambling on about nothing..." He took a deep breath and steeled him self to look back at her-As he looked at her face he noticed a receding black eye-in a way seeing that mad him mad.
He wondered who would be willing to hit her when her father was a very important lawyer? 'Maybe a boy friend? family member? step mother perhaps?' he thought to him self as he tried to find reason to fill in the blanks with out being rude and asking a clearly uncomfortable question to an already bewildered girl. But he didn't know if she was dating anyone- but according to the girls' gossip she was antisocial and very reclusive- as in she went form home to school then home- no where else....That made her wonder if her mother-if she had one was just over protective? or could be that maybe she had a fear of people due to an accident? any explanation he had for her was off and didn't seem to fit. Before his accident and his stay at the institution, she was very social and the most popular girl, pretty, rich, and had the grades to be top student-now she was quiet, her grades had slipped some, and she was anti-social-the opposite of her old self-he had no idea what had happened while he was away; But it was very rude to ask so he was damned to try his hardest to stay polite and still get the info he wanted...

She was startled a bit when she heard Joan's voice but she quickly turned around to face him but kept her eyes to the ground "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to not answer you. I was thinking about it but...I don't think I can. I mean I want to it's just...my father..." she didn't really want to tell him that her father would go berserk if she was partner with him and that her father planned her day according so that he could keep her under control. She took a breath and tried her best to put her situation in to a nicer perspective for him. "It wouldn't be the best idea if we were science partners, I shouldn't even be talking to you"
She couldn't think of anything else to say to him, she felt bad telling him that and it was nice to talk to someone and she was sure that he wasn't going to want to talk to her after this but that was her life now and she dealt with it. Her father owned her and there was nothing she could do about it unless she choose to kill herself. "I'm really sorry"

Looking taken aback he looked at her. He though of a possible solution to lighten the suddenly deserted mood," Well if your father is uncomfortable with me as a guy-I can always cross dress?" He said as a joke-but he though to him self if he would really go that far or not *imagines himself in a dress and acting like a girl* Shaking it from his head he looked down at Adrian hoping that she would at least try to be freinds-he needed one-and he wanted to help her and kick whose ever ass that was hurting her. 'She a beautiful girl with a brain and she doesn't deserve to be hurt like this-but how can I convince her to stay my friend?' he couldn't help him self from thinking slightly hopelessly as the small awkward silence dragged on.

She chuckled a little uncomfortable at his suggestion and still couldn't believe that he had suggested that. As she thought about what to do the silence dragged on and she wasn't sure what she should do at this moment. She wasn't that good at conversations and didn't pick on normal people's ques of an end of a conversation. She really hated that she had changed since the hardships with her father. She missed the parties, the people and most of all she missed having fun.
Adrian took a deep breath and looked Joan in the face "I don't really know what to do now" she rubbed the back of her neck admitting to being dumb founded at this moment. "I'm not really any good at this"

His face light up with a smile at her response after the intense silence. "Its not a problem-but I guess if you won't wanna be science partners that's fine-I guess-but you wanna eat lunch with me? I eat alone so company would be nice-but only if you want that is-no pressure. and about the whole dressing up like a girl thing- it was to lighten the mood " he said with a chuckle. He was holding his lunch try in his left hand and had his bag around at his side as he looked at her holding her books like the classic school girl did. Not seeing her looking for some one since she wasn't too social he figured 'what did he have to loose from asking for some company for lunch?' He still had a smile on his face as he waited for her to answer-and he was very surprised that she had admitted to her lack of knowledge in social awkwardness, he thought it was cute.

Lunch that was right it was lunch time. She looked over at the bar where they kept the hot food and it was already cleared out 'Great' she thought to herself. "Company would be nice" she said "Let me grab something and then we can sit" She walked over to the vending machine and got a drink and a bag of chips. She walked back over to Joan and gave a weak smile "So where do you normal sit? I usually just go to the library. I don't really sit...in here. People...talk" she said quietly
