All habits allowed. (open)

[Kaspar Winters]

A bad habit, that was what it was, plain and simple, but everyone had one. They might not admit it, but they had them. The occasional cigarette was his.
Not many people came over this way anymore, if anything they preferred the ...scenery the Starlit Path, leaving this area free and quiet. Kaspar leaned against the tree trunk with a sigh, exhaling whatever smoke was left in his lungs and dropping his arm at his side, still clasping the cigarette between his two fingers.

The clock face showed the time perfectly, and although there was still quite some time before the hour was up and the Dinner hall would be filling with students expecting their food, and the chat would be limited to either Christmas presents, or even Valentines related subjects; it was early for such chatter he thought. The whole thing made Kaspar eversoslightly queasy.
Not that he wasn't the romantic type himself, but the whole day was a gimmic.

Kaspar became aware of someone else and his blue eyes began scanning the area and it took mere seconds for him to spot another student in the opposite corner of the Courtyard, probably over here for the same reasons, but he wasn't going to assume and get himself into trouble if he was wrong.
“You look like you're escaping the masses too.” Kaspar grinned at them, they looked about the same age as he was. “I'm not invading on your little hiding place am I?”

[Roseline Marie Cecil]

Roseline dropped her cigarettes and blushed a bit when she looked up at the boy. She always came here when too much stuff was on her head.
Too much stress, too many fights. She relaxed and smoked, even though it was bad for her, her mother always used to smoke in France, so Rosely usually stole her cigarettes when things started to get hard in life.
It was a way to escape the outside world; she loved it, but hated it at the same time. She sighed and smiled shyly, while hiding behind her dark red bangs. " It's fine," she whispered, a bit embarrassed.

This was pretty much the only reason why he came to the courtyard, no one would see him smoking and judge him for doing so. He could gather his thoughts in silence or just hide out there to skip an unnecessary class.
"It's fine." The red head muttered, hiding behind her hair and Kaspar smiled at the shy reaction as he spoke to her. It could be that she'd not expected anyone to catch her here, nevermind doing the same thing she was. He thought he would be alone here too.

“Looks like we're here for the same reasons," Kaspar raised his hand and looked pointedly at the cigarette before taking a drag. “Where are my manners? I'm Kaspar Winters.”
During the school holidays and when he was back at home, Kaspar had taken to hiding the small pack of cigarettes inside his jacket or a hidden place in the garage where his parents wouldn't find them, he wouldn't be able to explain away how or when he'd picked up that habit.

Kaspar took another drag of his lucky strike and half-grinned over at the girl before speaking, “Which class have you been skipping?” Said in a joking tone. "I've ditched history, it's not a bad class but the subject just gets so tediously boring sometimes.
Kas was going to ask how he had been after a few minutes anyway to keep what little conversation going.

[Roseline Marie Cecil]

Rosely finally looked up and blushed a bit. She didn't like being interrupted by a total stranger, especially since no one knew she was doing ...this. She sighed, but finally managed a small smile, the boy did seem rather nice.
"I'm Roseline Marie Cecil, but you can call me Rosely, my name can be a bit of a drag sometimes," she admitted shyly and laughed a bit.
"I'm skipping Geometry, it's a great subject, but I just want to escape sometimes!" she finished lamely and looked down at her dark boots.

[Kaspar Winters]

Even though they both knew each others names, the girl still reacted shyly to him when he was speaking to her.
Rosely reminded him of some of the other girls in the 'Preps' clique that he hung out with they both wore the same style of clothes, he would ask that later, if he'd not been told by then of course.

So she was dodging Geo, Kaspar couldn't blame her, that was another one of the mandatory classes that he wasn't all too keen on sitting through on a daily basis. There were a few lessons at Adelaide that Kaspar did like two of those were Art and Drama; less theory and writing, more practical classes that could hold his interest for longer.

"You're very shy for a teenager aren't you?" Kaspar observed "Are you like this around everyone?" He didn't consider himself shy at all, as you could probably tell. Kaspar liked to think he could talk to anyone he liked regardless of clique or grade though he wouldn't do it all the time. He couldn't understand the point in being as shy as Rosely was, it was, he would admit, a little cute to start off with but there wasn't much you could find out or get done if you were stuttering over your words or staring at your boots for example.
"How long have you been smoking then Rosely?" He raised a brow at the red head.

[Roseline Marie Cecil]

Rosely looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "I'm not that shy. It's hard getting to know everyone and I'm new. I'll warm up to you eventually and trust me, you'll wish I would stop talking when you get to know me better!"
She raised her head up high, indicating she was not afraid to talk to him. She gave a challenging smile and moved closer to him, then threw her cigar away.
"I've been smoking for a while now; my mom used to do the same thing when there was too much on her mind, so I guess I got it from her, although no one knows I do this, except you. So you should consider yourself lucky you do, don't tell anyone though!" she added and looked at Kaspar, awaiting his response. She was acting more bold and she liked the feeling!
