[Over My Head][Jason]

[[Andy Zeroric]]

- Andy sighed as she leaned back in her chair, her eyes watching the drama teacher. Andy just wanted to hide, why did teachers have to talk. She was getting dragged into more clubs, and events then she wanted too. The stupid Choir teacher thought her voice was amazing so was she not only in the choir, but now she had been signed up to sing at the graduation ceromony. If things couldnt get worse the choir teacher had talked to the drama teacher, and now Andy was stuck doing plays as well. She liked singing, she liked acting, but she hated doing it in front of people.-

- Andy had terrible stage fright, and having to be the center of attention on solo songs, was not something that soothed that fear. She sighed as she listened to him assign parts, and what do you know she had the most singing, just great.. just bloody great. She sighed as she flipped through the script book, her eyes memorizing the name of the songs she had to learn. Yet her green eyes caught something far more intresting, a guy. Yeah he looked about as happy as she did to be here.-

[Jason Street]

Jason sat in class once again. His mother forced him to go back to school, but little did she know he was just going to drop right back out after this day. The only time she spoke to him was to yell at him about school, so why not just piss her off for fun? The rest of his family seemed to love doing it. Sighing, he looked around the class and rolled his eyes. No one was enjoying this stupid lecture. Jason really wondered if the teacher really knew how boring and annoying he was. Chuckling a bit about the thought of the teacher doing a ballerina dance in a tutu, shook his head trying to get the image out.

Leaning back in his chair, he decided to just fall asleep. Why did anyone need drama class anyway? Exactly, they didn't! Unless they were going to become some actor or something, but like hell would Jason become some stupid actor. He was already in a band that was actually pretty famous, at least in the norther part of the country. Why bother trying to do anything else? As he fell asleep, the teacher caught him and walked over slamming down his hands on Jason's desk. Jason just smirked and opened one eye.

Can I help you? he asked with a smart ass smirk. "Pay attention in class Mr. Steel! It is your first day back and do you want to start it like this?" asked the teacher in an angry voice. Yes, actually, I do. Don't plan on staying for the rest of the week anyway... Jason said just making the teacher even more angry enough to walk away. Then, Jason felt as if he was being looked at. Looking around the room, he looked at one girl who was as bored as everyone else. Smiling with a charming glint in his expression, he just looked back to the teacher. Teach! Bathroom... he spoke standing up and walking out after he got a pass. Looking back at the girl, he motioned for her to follow him. She looked interesting, so why not skip class to talk to her?

[[Andy Zeroric]]

- Andy just crossed her arms over her chest as she watched the kid attempt to humiate the teacher. She was never a fan of people who did that, constantly always wanting to stand out and what not. Did he not get enough of that on his own, without having to provoke it. Andy wanted to learn..not listen to some punk run his mouth. She sighed when he looked up at her, not all really impressed with that charming look. Andy was a transfer student from europe, and wells he found Americans to be genrally rude. How was she suppose to show someone respect, when they couldnt even show it to other people? When he motioned for her to follow him, she merely rolled her eyes before getting up.-

- Andy wasnt the type of girl to be all over someone she didnt know. She had to admit he was cute, but his slight arrogance made her sick to her stomach. She liked people who were down to earth, and comfortable in their own skin. Heck Andy was.. she looked preppy, she was generally happy, and she listened to death metal. To be a prep at this school, and be confident enough to admit you loved the enemies music, took some nerve. Nerve Andy had, and was proud of. -

- Once out of the class, her posture changed little, if anything it was annoyed, with a tad bit of defensive feel to it. But what did you expect, Andy was Andy. She was Aiden Zeroric's sister, and if you knew Aiden you knew his sister and him were cut from the same cloth. Both were generally hard to befriend, and well.. America was changing Andy. She understood she couldnt trust everyone now, she understood she couldnt be a push over anymore. So simply she had become quite a hard... -

- "Did you think in neccessary to interupt and entire class, just to inform everyone you dont want to be here?" Andy asked in a bold fashion, before letting her green eyes linger on his facial features. -

[Jason Street]

As Jason got out of the class, he noticed the girl's annoyed expression. She was one of the preps, he knew it. But he didn't mind, he couldn't care less about what clique someone was in, as long as they weren't complete assholes to him or his friends. Sure, he knew he pissed a lot of people off by his little show just then, but he didn't care. Half the people in there hated him anyway, so why bother trying to change their minds and acting like someone he's just not? That just how Jason was, get noticed or stay in the shadow forever. He just wasn't the shadow type of guy.

Leaning against the wall by the door, he waited for the girl to get out of the class. Seeing the door finally open again, he just looked at her with a smirk. She looked very annoyed. As she spoke, Jason couldn't help let out a tiny chuckle. Straight to the point. Very nice way of communication. he said standing up straight. He had heard of this girl, a sophmore, the younger sister of Aiden. She seemed strong and bold, good qualities.

Well, my idea on the subject is if you don't stand out no one will ever know you exist. Unless you have popular family members or friends, no one will ever know who you are. I like being known. he said with a much nicer tone than he did before. Your Andy aren't you? The girl thats supposed to sing at the graduation. Heard you had a great voice. he said talking like a more normal human being now. Sure, Jason could talk to a girl without trynig to flirt. Wasn't normal, but he did do it every know and then.

[[Andy Zeroric]]

- Andy loosened up a bit after he didnt take offense to her comment. Alright maybe she could be a little more trusting, perhaps going from one extreme to another was never a good idea. Yet then agian you never could be too sure, and at the moment she preferred to be safe than sorry. "Well there really is no point beating around a barren bush." she said with a slight smirk. alright so she had a way with word, thank private school for that. -

- "Not always true." Andy argued, yes she loved to argue, but then agian what girl of her status didnt. "My brother overshadows me, thus its pointless to pull stunts in order to be seen. I figure the people who actually see me are the only ones that matter. Whats the point in standing out in an auditorium full of kids who dont give a dang about you? Its just a waiste of energy." Andy replied a smile seeping over her features. She had a gorgeous smile, perfectly straight teeth, and flashy white as well. Thanks to years of braces of course.-

- She smirked when he said her name,well this was a first. "Yeah.. I'm Andy. " she laughed about his comment about her voice. "Thats what they say, though I dont really know I dont sing much. Terrible stage fright." she replied with a grin, before looking around the hallways. Was true, she froze on stage, always had always would. -

[Jason Street]

Jason watched her soften up a bit as he spoke. He didn't like stiffs, they were so boring and dull. But if you could get them to loosen up, they were pretty cool. This girl seemed okay, just as long as he could keep his nice streak going. Smirking at her words, he looked at the ceiling then back at her once more. That is true I suppose. he spoke. No matter what anyone thought, Jason was smart and could keep his own in an intelligent conversation.

As she argued back, he just simply let out a small chuckle. He didn't like to argue much himself, but those who did caught his eye. Ones who like to state their oppinion if they think the other is incorrect. He admired that in a person. But if no one ever sees you, then there really is no point then is there? he spoke with a smilrk still on his features. As she smiled, he couldn't help but think she had a gorgeous smile. But he just decided to tell her that later when she actually trusted him some.

Nodding his head glad that he got her name right, he looked back at her as she started to speak again. Stage fright? Ah, thats a bad habbit. I used to have it, but after about ten shows it wears off. he said remembering when he first started playing base with his sister's band. He was so shy and uncomfertable, but seeing her confidently sing up there he didn't want to be stood up by her too much. I could help you with that ya know. Getting used to singing infront of people. Its not as bad as it seems. he said with another kind smile.

[[Andy Zeroric]]

- Andy smirked as he argued back, ha finally someone worth talking too. If there was one thing she couldnt stand it was people who were indifferent, it drove her crazy. Andy looked away from him as she fiddled with her hair, before pulling it back, and ut of her face. "Sure there is, cause your friends always see you." she said with another smile, as her forest floor colored eyes looked at his face once more. She was always good at reading people, and she knew the guy before her had some insecurities, but didnt everyone? Andy did, a heck of a lot of em. She hated letting her brother down, she hated embaressing herself, and she hated messing up American lingo. Yeah she was still learning what words meant what here, for sometimes they had a completly different meaning back in Romania.-

- "Mines never worn off... its more of a bad memory than a fear.." Andy said somewhat frowning, before avoiding his eyes in general. Andy didnt really feel like talking about it, she didnt trust this kid enough to let him see the real pain she held. Everything was fake when you really got to know her. Some of her personality was natural, while other parts were a mere defense mechanism so that you could see her true fear.-

- When he offered to help, she shrugged. "Good luck, but I guess its worth a try." she said with a smile. Mostly because she didnt want to embaress herself by running during the seniors commencement. She would have to face the fear eventually, and now was the only way.-

[Jason Street]

Jason looked at Andy and just shook his head. She wouldn't give up, but he did see it as amuzing and interesting. But if you never make yourself seen in the first place you wouldn't have any friends to see you in the future. Now would you? he said with a smirk. He liked talking about this, it made him feel like his opinion mattered. Seeing her eyes look straight at him, he sort of looked away. He had a problem with people reading him, it felt like they could see right through him. That he did not want at all.

As she spoke again, that caught his attention. Looking back at her finally, he looked in her eyes and could see that she was remembering something she did not like. I never had a fear of it. Well, once, but I had a damn good reason for it. he said looking away again. But there is no better way to get rid of your fear than facing it head on. he spoke with another smile.

Good, cause I don't want you to make a fool infront of me or my family. he spoke smirking hinting that he was going to be at the graduation. I'm supposed to be graduating. But I still get to go to see my sister. he said then looked around. Hmm...where is a good place that could be a stage.. he mumbled to himself continuing to look around. Ah! I have an idea. Follow me. he said with another smile and started to walk towards the front door then turned back to make sure she was coming.

[[Andy Zeroric]]

- Alright so he had a point, a really good one, and at the moment she decided just to let him win, before things got annoying. "Yeah guess your right." she said with a small smile, before noticing him avoid her gaze. Maybe he didnt like people looking at him, and if that be the case she would watch were her eyes wondered. He was rather cute she had to admit, but boys in this country confused her. Perhaps she wasnt what they called pretty here, back home she could have any guy she wanted, but here it seemed far harder to get their attention.-

- She smiled when he didnt ask about it, for she wouldnt tell him even if he begged. Heck she had only talked to her brother Christian about it, and even that had been hard. "Yeah lets give it a try, I would really like to not humiliate myself." she said with a laugh, after all pride was something her family was known for. Just look at Aiden. She nodded and followed after him, not sure about trusting him. But something about him seem far different, and far less threatening.-

[Jason Street]

Jason looked at her with a proud smile as she let him win. Good, because I wouldn't have stopped arguing.. he said with a joking smirk. He was having fun talking. Jason wondered if she was bothered by not going to class, just skipping. She was obviously annoyed by him disturbing class, so didn't she want to be there? Ignoring that thought he looked back at her and smiled again.

Jason watched her smile. He understood not wanting to talk about something that bothered you. Insecurities were never his strong point. He hated talking about them and she did too, apperently. Chuckling slightly as she spoke, he nodded. Well, on the up side of humiliating yourself, it would've been pretty cute if you did. he said with another smile as he just looked ahead. Walking outside the school doors after he saw her following, he sat on the steps and pointed to the end of the steps. Now, go out there and sing something, anything. Starting to sing infront of one person will help with more people. he said with a reassuring smile.

[[Andy Zeroric]]

- Andy followed him outside somewhat curious to what he was going to have her to do. She laughed when he said it would be cute if she humiliated herself. She felt more comfortable as time passed, and well when he asked her to sing, she wasnt even scared. Mostly because they were outside, and there was no spotlight on her. The spot light was what triggered the memory, so besides being a little shy infront of him this would go just fine.-

- She thought about what to sing then decided that singing what she had to for graduation was the best bet. It wasnt completly her style, but it made her voice sound amazing. Andy was one of those rare girls that had a really mature voice at a young age. She didnt have that Brittany Spears, or JoJo sound. It was far more talented then that, and she didnt hide it when she sang. -

[Jason Street]

Jason watched her as she walked outside and waited for him to talk. As she just went right out there, he smiled. She was getting used to him, either that or she just didn't mind singing infront of one person. Listening to her sing, he smiled and rested back against the steps behind of him. He liked her voice, strong and beautiful. She was very talented, and she shouldn't have stage fright.

As her song ended, he just assumed that it was the one she would be singing for the graduation. Your really good, I'm just wondering why you would have stage fright with talent like yours. he spoke interested by her fear. In his mind, he thought that anyone with talent should never have it but show it to the world. But he was the type to attract attention on purpose. You don't have a problem singing infront of me. Or is it just because its only me and not abunch of people? he asked still interested.

- Andy smiled when she had finished, she had to admit that song wasnt too hard. She grinned when he complimented her. She slowly walked back over and sat down next to him. When he mentioned her stage fright she just looked down, before looking over at him once more. "Cause of my mom...." Andy said, but didnt go any farther then that it was just too hard. She had lost her mom one night at her performance, and since then she just could be on stage anymore. She couldnt stand the spotlight on her, knowning her mom died behind it. It was just too hard, she felt so guilty. -

- She shouldnt have begged her ill mother to come it was her fault, everyone blaimed her even if they didnt say it. She just sighed before playing with her fingernails. "I dont have a problem singing in front of people... its deeper than that." Andy said with a shrug, really not wanting to go into further detail. For honestly she didnt want to cry infront of a guy she just met.-

[Jason Street]

Jason watched as she smiled when he complimented her. He liked making people smile, especially girls. As she looked at the ground after he spoke, he watched her intently. As she spoke, he looked to her with a confused expression. Because of you mother? he asked, the confusion definatly showing in his voice. Why would she not want to sing because of her mom? Did her mom tell her that she wasn't good? Seeing the saddness in her eyes, he could tell that something was wrong, and his human nature kept him from not asking. He was curious of why.

Watching as she played with her fingernails, he knew that she was nervous about telling him. Well, I'm not the one that should be giving you advice about telling your feelings, but maybe I could help you. he said with another friendly smile. I'll make a deal, you tell me what happened and I'll tell you why I try to get as much attention as I can. he said wanting to help her.

[[Andy Zeroric]]

- Andy sighed when she gave her that confused look. She knew that it would hurt to talk about it, it always hurt too. So at first she just shook her head, not wanting to tell him what had caused her to fear the stage so. It wasnt necessarily fear.. no it was guilt that got her. She'd get up there, and everything would be fine till the spotlight caught her eye, and she would relive that horrible day all over agian. Shorty after snapping out of it, she always ran. -

- When he suggested she tell him, and he would say why he was an attention hog, she simply shrugged. She might as well tell him, for he had made her feel slightly better. "My mom died during one of my performances..." Andy said trying to keep her vocals from quivering. "She shouldnt have been there, she wasnt feeling well, and I yelled at her. I told her she never cared, that all she cared about was my brothers. I yelled at her for never being there...." Andy said feeling more horrible now, as the pain was getting the best of her.-

- "I didnt even know she was there, the whole time I was singing I was mad at her.. and then after....I cant do this.." Andy said getting to her feet, before walking off, she wasnt ready to face what followed, she didnt want too. She didnt want to believe that her father blaimed her.. that Aiden blamed her.. she just wanted to get away... she was running agian.-
