Our expressions soften a bit and we smile a the new girl. She was taller than us. A lot taller than us. With long pitch black hair in a well styled fringe and startling blue-green eyes.

She seemed about our age. Though she looked a little nervous and maybe even a bit scared, which made her look younger and more innocent than she probably was.

We both move to lean into her, putting our arms around her waist. Abandoning Syd, our previous conversation already forgotten. "Well, hello there."

"-such as yourself." We smirk up at her as we finish our rant. Everyone was taller than us, weren't they? At least most people were in our general area so we could put our arms around their shoulders. This girl was just tall enough that we couldn't. Hopefully the closeness didn't scare her off, not that we were bothered by it.

"Oh, hello Brent, Lys." Her eyes flitted between the two, trying to find any easy difference to be able to tell the two apart. She found none that would really help her. "My name is Phia." Phia smiled at them, swaying slightly on the balls of her feet. Hopefully her accent didn't make her words to hard to understand. Most British people with a Northern accent were more difficult then most to hear correctly.
Her eyes landed on one of the empty chairs at the table. She placed one of her hands on the back of the empty chair closest to her. "Nice to meet you too." Phia will ignore the 'lovely lady' part for the time being. No need to flirt with anything that will flirt back, especially before she even really knows anyone here. This school is a lot smaller then the last one she was in, and small places make news travel faster.

I sigh with a smile as I wipe my 'tears' from my face, crossing my arms under my chest, leaning against a pillar next to Sid. I give him a wink, then turn my attention to the new girl that Brent and Lys have draped their arms the new girls waist, laying the charm on thick. I can't help but let out a little giggle, pulling on Sid's arm to silently encourage him to introduce himself, then saunter forward to stand before her.
I stand straight, posture perfect...but I'm still a good four inches shorter than her, having to tilt my head back to look into her face with a huff. I shake my head, then give her my best charming smile, cheeks still a tad flushed from laughter as I stick out my hand cheerfully,"Hello Phia, I'm Joli McCarty, it's nice to see a new face around here, I hope you like it!~" I chirp, not taking the flirty-esk approach like the twins this time, since I'm less open around strangers...and I don't wanna run her off with any, if only in jest, advances.

I roll my eyes at the twins, who are still utterly glued to the poor girl, and gesture to Phia, "Hey, I'm Sid! I'm a junior here so just ask me if you need help finding anything."

"I was actually wondering if I could sit here." Phia patted the back of the chair her hand was still on. "With you guys. If you're not saving it for anyone else." She smiled at everyone, teeth showing slightly as she attempted not to fidget. First days never ended well in new places, at least in Phia's experience. Hopefully this one doesn't start off badly.

Lys and I look at each other then step back at the same time, holding our hands up and thinking we may have gone a bit too far, "Sorry."

Phia pulls out the chair, swaying slightly on her feet before deciding to sit down. She lets her bag fall off of her shoulder and land on the ground with a muffled thud. Not knowing how to address her obverse denial of the two boys' flirting, Phia continued to ignore it. It wasn't that she minded it (she was a bit of a flirt herself, is she thought about it at all) but she didn't know how these people would react to her. Maybe later. She could be all reserved and shy, then surprise them. Phia felt a smile stretch its way across her face at the thought of taking them by surprise. Hopefully they could all be friends.
"It's pretty obverse that I'm new, isn't it?" She asked, letting her northern-ness accent run free. Her fingers idly twirled with one of her hoodie strings, trying to burn off energy. She knew she shouldn't have drank that coffee this morning.

I tilt my head curiously as my hand is seemingly ignored, retracting it with a shrug. Not everyone is for handshakes after all!~ I grin as the twins let go, offering the girl a seat at the table. As she sits, so do I, taking a seat to the left of her, leaning my head on propped up hands with my fingers laced together. My wide green eyes take in her appearance with a curious, but rather blank look, then smiling broadly,"Hehe, despite your newness, and it's obviousness, I think you'll fit in great around here!~ Sid's a great help, and fun to tease if you like teasing, and the twins can help you get the drop on any bullies," I chirp.
My eyes narrow slightly and I lean back in my chair, the smile turning into a smirk,"Hmm, and I'm the one you go to if the bully doesn't stop, or avoids the adults. I'm rather good at...well, either fixing the issue's they have, or giving them more important things to worry about," I shrug delicately, the sharper edge about me disappearing,"I hope that we can become friends as well Phia, I love your accent by the way, accents are rather hot to be honest," I giggle, giving you a playful wink, then simply relaxing and looking to Sid with a raised eyebrow,"Hey you, yeah you, the one with the face, come sit with the weird kids!~" I tease, throwing the wrapper of a candy bar at him.

I watch as the candy bar wrapper drifts to the linoleum flooring, then look back at Joli.
"You litterer!" I scold her, yet still refuse to pick it up myself. "And I prefer to stand, thanks." I pause, then add, "I also like your accent, Phia. Accents like yours just sound more..." I try to find the words. "Regal...?" I raise an eyebrow at myself.

Phia smirked, and the next words out of her mouth were more reflex then conscious thought. "You're right, accents are rather hot." She let her eyes sweep over her four companions in a suggestive manner. "I'd rather use the word 'sexy' though." Her eyes stopped on Joli as she finished her thought and crossed her arms on the table, leaning her weight forward on the support she just created.

Brent and I look at each other in slight shock, 'We've been tricked!'

We sigh and sit down at the other side of the table, opposite of Phia, next to each other. We cross our arms on the table and lean our chins on top of them, looking at her. "Yes,-"

"a lot more." We smile as we complimented both her, on her accent to us, and ourselves, on our accents to her.

I stick my tongue out at Sid as he accuses me of littering, leaning over to pick it up off the floor with a wry grin, almost falling off, but righting myself with a huff. I look back up in time to see the smirk on Phia's, blinking rapidly as she says that, pale cheeks slowly turning pink under her stare as I shift in my seat, letting out a little,"Meep!" As you lean forward provocatively. I take a deep breath and shake my head, trying to clear it of embarrassing thoughts as the twins take their own crack at the revealed flirt in front of us.
I let a wry smirk cross my lips, chuckling internally as I lean back in my seat with my arms crossed,'Ooh, a sneaky one, hehe, the twins and her should have fun!~ I think, humming lightly as I look over to Sid,"Hey Sid? I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but your gonna be stuck with perverts as friends for the rest of your life!~" I declare cheerfully.

I sigh, looking down at Joli, "Yeah... I've kinda come to terms with it now..."
I was just hoping that the new girl wasn't going to be perverted... I think to myself. I chuckle to myself, trying not to let the others hear it, Just wait until I show them my perverted side... Then they'll really be in for it...
I snap out of my trance and look over at the clock on the wall. "Man... When's class going to start? I'm ready for Band already!"

Phia turned her attention back towards Sid. "You're in band? What instrument do you play?" She felt herself leaning forwards further in anticipation. Phia herself could never figure out how to play anything. She figures she must be tone-deaf. Although, she did once try to learn how to play the violin a few years ago. That didn't go very well.

We smirk at her, answering for him. That's what he gets for being so slow. He doesn't get to talk to the pretty lady. "Oh, he's a dashing and daring Drumline-ian. Like us. Well, during marching season anyways."
I gesture to Lys and I, "We're also cheery and colorful clarinet-ists, but only during concert season."
