{Jack} Perfection is my Enemy

[sarahj512]

Outfit: Cute and Casual
Mood: Adventurous ;D

Sarah hadn't finished exploring the school yet, and now it was time for her to continue her search. She stepped into the shower first, and freshened up, then she walked back to her room pulling on a pair of jeans that were ripped from the factory, a cute knitted tank top that covered her shoulders all the way, and some slip on sneakers.

It was cold outside, so she'd probably end up regretting not wearing a jacket, but it was warmer inside the school. She didn't plan on traveling outside unless she absolutely had to, but walking past windows would be a pain. Sarah brushed through her hair, and smiled, sliding her cell phone into her pocket, and she left her room, locking the door behind her.

She was right, it was freezing walking past the windows, but she just hurried past them. Her goal today was the main entrance, and the door she had always walked past, but never actually been into. She pulled her cell phone out halfway down the stairs, and checked the time. 8:40 PM. She had plenty of time to do nothing. She didn't plan on going to bed very early tonight, because she wanted to explore.

When she made it to the main entrance hall, she looked around, and she didn't see anyone. That's weird, there's usually people around. Sarah thought to herself, and she continued towards the doors.

About halfway down the atrium, she turned and stopped, staring at her conquest. A door, in between two pillars, stood between her and whatever was on the other side. She took a deep breath, and walked towards the door. She braced herself for whatever it was on the other end, because this school was strange, and she wouldn't be surprised if something odd was on the back side of this door. Well, she'd be surprised, but not as much as if it were a normal school.

Sarah opened the door and... Nothing. It was just a room. The thin girl stepped through the frame, and looked around. It really was nothing, just a large room, with no lights on. The only light was coming through the massive glass window at the opposite end of the hall. The moonlight shone through the window, scattering colors all around the room but no real picture or anything, and it gave the room a presence. She shut the door behind her, and stepped farther into the room, looking around. She couldn't see anything, her eyes hadn't adjusted to the lack of light.

Not thinking, she called out to the blackness of the room as the dim light started to clear in her eyes as they grew accustomed to the atmosphere of the new room. "Hello? Anyone in here?" Hearing nothing, she walked farther into the room, into the little shafts of colored light that bounced off the walls and the floor.

[Jack Callahan™]

If one were to look up "adventure" in the dictionary, they might find pictures of Jack Callahan plastered all over the page doing various heroic and awesome deeds [especially if, previously, Jack himself had gotten hold of that same dictionary]. Jack, of course, prided himself on these heroic and awesome deeds, but they were really no fun if he was doing them by himself, as he was tonight.

Unfortunately, he had been unable to locate his BFFL to accompany him on tonight's venture. This lack of companionship [and backup, ofc], however, while saddening, would not deter Jack in his mission. And what was his mission?

To rescue a damsel in distress, obviously.

Of course, rescuing damsels in distress generally required having damsels around that were distressed, but that was a trivial matter and Jack wasn't too terribly concerned by it. After all, it wasn't like he went to an all boy's school; there had to be a damsel wandering around somewhere. If there wasn't, he would have to resort to waking one up, and he was certain that the damsel he would choose would not be pleased at being awakened.

It was thus a large stroke of luck that, in his peppy, inconspicuous, espionage-filled wanderings, he happened to find a very cute damsel. At least, she looked cute from behind [and, really, that was half of what mattered].

He probably would have said something to her the moment he spotted her had he not been curious as to where she was headed. So, instead of ruining that, he crept along behind her, preparing himself for a better adventure than the one he had been on thirty seconds previous. When she entered through the doors and then closed them, Jack was a little torn. To continue following her like a creeper or to move on?

Obviously, the only smart course of action here was to be a creeper.

So follow her inside he did, shutting the door behind him once again. She probably would have heard had she not picked that particular moment to call out and then, you know, move. Jeez, damsels these days didn't make it easy to impress them, did they? Really, they were all just kind of...you know...normal.

"Well, not just anyone's in here," he started, moving so she could see him and wouldn't be freaked out by some unseen stalkerrapistetc. "Agent double-oh-six is, though."

Winky face, winky face.

Sarah had hardly taken more than a few steps when she heard someone respond to her question. She had just set her foot down to take another step, and she turned to look. It was a student, because she could tell he was too young to be a teacher. She felt a slight blush creep over her cheeks, happy that the light in the room was so awful, and what light there was was colored.

The boy was cute. Her eyes had adjusted to the terrible lighting, and she could see the bulge in his arms of his muscles. His hair was short, but she couldn't tell exactly what color it was, or the color of his eyes, but he was definitely something to look at. She reached up and ran her fingers through her still wet hair, playing with it a little.

"Um, hi?" Sarah's voice was soft, but it echoed slightly in the large room. She turned all the way around, and moved her feet closer together, popping her hip and grabbing her elbows as if she were cold, because frankly, she kind of was cold, and she was a bit nervous. "I was just looking around, and I'm new here, and I wanted to see what was in this room, and..."

Sarah was just rambling by that point. She felt the blush rise up higher on her cheeks. She was never good at talking to people at first. She might warm up to the boy in a while, but she was always nervous at first. She kept looking towards the handsome boy, and she cocked her head a little, he looked familiar.

She took a slight step back, and smiled a little. The light throughout the room shifted and changed as clouds crossed over the moon, creating different moods, but Sarah didn't mind, the two were still separated by about half the room. A couple times, the light was blacked out completely by fuller clouds, and Sarah bit her lip, counting the seconds until the light came back.

"What is your name? I'm Sarah." She spoke up a little more than her first words to the boy, but not by much. She looked around, knowing there was no one else in the room, and she looked back at the cute stranger, waiting for his response.
