Also, is this like some sort of asexual club? Cos me too)

Norman Walters
Norman tipped his head to the side, giving Percy a look. ”Just because you were trained to be sheep doesn’t mean you have to be-“ that probably sounded cooler in his head. He probably would’ve continued on if it wasn’t for the other two boys expressing their interest in helping...somewhat, they at least wanted to go to Time Square with him. Which was the opposite of what he wanted. ”That-that wasn’t an invitation, I’m not inviting you two along for the ride,” he clarified quickly. ”Don’t take that as an invitation, I don’t want either of you there.”
Sure, having a few extra people there would be nice in some ways, but more likely they’d just get in his way and that was the last thing he needed. However it didn’t seen like they were listening and Norman sat there in silence as he watched Steven leave. Norman stayed where he was for a moment or so, staring blankly into the distance before he snapped out of it and turned his attention back to Percy, glaring at him. ”That wasn’t an invitation for you two,” He repeated, rolling his eyes as he grabbed his backpack and slipped it over his shoulders again. ”Thanks for the offer, but I don’t need help,” he explained as he got up to leave.
Norman made it a few feet away before something clicked and he hurried back, picking up his tray of uneaten food. He paused for a second, casting a quick glance back at Percy. ”...I uh, I forgot my lunch,” he explained quickly as he picked his tray back up to head off, hopefully without needing to return to the table a second time.
As far as dramatic exists went, that wasn’t a very good one.

"See ya Steven." he hummed, waving as he walked off. When Norman started to run off as well Percy sighed "Don't think you can run from me!" Percy called in a sing song voice before Norman could get out of the room and be unable to hear him. Now that he was alone Percy sat at the table again and crossed one leg over the other. What could he do... Norman was a stubborn one that's for sure. But Percy wasn't know to give up and he wasn't going to start now.

( anthony's bi, i'm pretty sure, me either man i've never really thought about that side of him ) ( also thank y'all for joining !!!!! i feel pretty excited by 11 others deciding on my dumb little roleplay to join,,, aaaa !!!! it's just a good feeling idk ) ƤαƖƖαѕ ✧ "I'll try. I'll try my best!" Anthony smiled at her. "I'll ask him about it tonight. Also... would you like to go to Times Square this evening?" Anthony suddenly stopped, noticing how weird that sounded. "Not- not that anything- uh, just for- just because so many people have turned up there, you know?" Great. Now he just made it sound even weirder. God dammit... his mind had gone somewhere strange and managed to make a fool out of himself covering up something he didn't really need to cover up in the first place. "I dunno... we can do some snooping there I suppose." His face was flushed red. Great. Just great. ( oof )

Abbey could only watch Anthony say probably the awkwardest things he had ever said in his life, and she couldn’t help but let out a little chuckle, taking off her glasses as she closed her book. She felt her cheeks warming slightly and realised that she too must have blushed a little bit.
“You’re okay, I know what you’re saying. Times Square sounds great, and so does snooping. The more we can dig up the better.” the blonde said with a nod
They needed to focus on finding out as much as they could, on trying to find out what happened. Mainly because Abbey wanted to protect the people close to her but also because she didn’t feel like she could cope much longer with being cooped up and scared all of the time. She hated not being in control, she would have to take control for herself if she was going to cope in this situation.

Understanding filled Alita's eyes as she realized what that meant. Inwardly wincing at the fact that she picked the one guy that might trigger Lorelei, she quickly apologized. "Oh. Oh, Lorelei, I'm so sorry. I had no idea..." She trailed off, unsure what to say. She didn't want to put her through any unnecessary stress if she didn't have to. "I mean, it's just a stupid crush. It don't actually feel anything for him," She added hurriedly, wanting to assure her sister that this truly didn't mean anything. She was willing to give up her crush if it was too hard on Lorelei. The girl had been through a lot--more than Alita could ever know--and she wanted to do anything she could to help her.
(Ok potential plot idea since Alita probably wouldn't be super into murder investigations unless she had cause. What if one of her younger twin brothers is killed on his way home from school or something, and it gives her a reason to be super into finding who or what killed him?)

(I think Alita is the type of girl who has crushes but never acts on them, but would get really excited if literally anyone paid her romantic attention, even if they were trying to take advantage of her bc she's so naive and innocent)

Her eyes widened, and she quickly smacked her head into the table, albeit, it was lightly, and and into her arms which were crossed in the table. “Me and my dumb mouth!” She hissed out, raising her head to give a level deadpanned expression to Alita, her lavender-blue eyes narrowed, “No, he’s fine. I’m just scared he knows about it. If someone knows about it, then someone might spread rumors about you guys or what happens, and then I’ll be burdening you guys more than I already am and-“ she cut off, sighing, and smiled. She raised her head, completely, and uncurled on her clenched fists, her right arm extending to place a hand on one of Alita’s, “You know, I love you, as a sister, Alita, but I don’t want you to ignore that, I’m fine. Okay?” She assured. “So don’t you dare ignore those feelings, if you did, I couldn’t tease you about them!” She grinned, mischevious now, some of it done to ease Alita.

( 𝐸𝓁𝑜𝓆𝓊𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒟𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓂𝑒𝓇 sounds cool ! that could be a big plot point too, once the kids get to know each other further ) ƤαƖƖαѕ ✧"Awesome! Yeah, lemme see what I can squeeze from my dad." Anthony said, biting at his piercings. "So what time do you think would be best to meet up at Times Square? Or would you rather we go together, like, after school we could go to my house and hang for a bit, you know, something like that?" He was a little bit excited. But that heavy feeling in his chest from Adam's disappearance prevailed strongly, something he simply could not ignore. He hoped he could find something there, at least something... It was then that he felt eyes on his, and he turned in the direction of them, to see two girls sitting about two tables down from them. One of the girls was looking at him, although as her friend (he was assuming) began to seem a little distressed, she quickly moved her eyes from him onto her friend. Huh. Drumming his fingers on the table, he suddenly looked at the clock. Shit! Lunch was almost over! He began to finally eat, shoving the food into his mouth. "We gotta go man, lunch is coming to an end." Anthony said through a mouthful of food, readying his bags for his next class.

(Oh my goodness, Lorelei and Alita would be distraught if that happened. I kind of like that idea. Either that, or one of them goes missing and is turned or something. That might even be crueler, if one was turned D;)

Alita thought about what Lorelei said, but she ended up shaking her head, "Even if he did know, I don't think he would have any reason to bring it up now. Those are the sorts of dumb rumors people spread in middle school. In high school, nobody cares. And if he wanted to tell people, then he would have done it by now," She said, hoping that her words eased Lorelei's worries. "And you are not a burden on us! We love you like family! My parents always said they wanted another daughter and then they got to adopt you, so you are, like, the opposite of a burden! You're a blessing," Alita said confidently. She risked one more glance at Anthony but it just so happened to be at the same time as he was looking in her direction. Quickly looking away, Alita's face burned red, "Oh my gosh...he's looking over here!" She whispered, covering her face with her hand. "Is he still looking?" She asked, not wanting to risk peeking again.

Lorelei smiled weakly, nodding gently back to her. “Thanks, I mean it.” She murmured, giving a genuine look of gratitude. Her eyes caught sight when Alita spoke of her crush, and when Alita looked at him, and he looked back, and Alita started blushing, Lore snickered. She waved her and up, one of the few times she’d put herself out there openly, and waved at Anthony, a smirk on her face.
Man, the lengths she would go for her sister were large. She stopped waving, wiggling her eyebrows at Alita, smirking. “Oh, yes, I’m sorry, I’m so smart, I’m just a blessing in disguise,” She feigned. Her eyes cast a gentle look, smirk on her face, “and I love my family.”

“Let’s go together, it’s safer than walking there alone,” Abbey reasoned “plus it gives us more time to discuss anything your or I find im the meantime that might be useful. We might as well just go to your place straight from school.”
It would be really nice to go to Anthony’s place and just hang out for a while before they went out to Times Square. Plus, any extra time to prepare for an undoubtedly dangerous trip couldn’t really be a bad thing.
She noticed the two girls, one of which looked away from Anthony while the other waved. She was a little confused but didn’t comment on it. Did Anthony know them? If he did she felt like she’d have met them.
“Shit!” she muttered when Anthony said that it was time for lessons. She ate the last bits of food she had left and put her book in her backpack, shouldering it as she stood up. She was roughly prepared for her next class
“Alright, then let’s go.” Abbey said with a smile “unless you want to go say hi to those girls; one seems to want you to go over.”

Alita's eyes grew wide at her sister's actions, "Lorelei! Stop! Now!" She whispered harshly, still hiding her face in embarrassment. She closed her eyes, as if that would make the situation go away, and prayed Anthony didn't see her sister waving like a mad man across the cafeteria. She may like him, but she didn't want him to know that! She much preferred to admire from afar. "I swear, if he comes over here, I'll never forgive you," She murmured, not actually meaning it, but still feeling quite humiliated by her older sister.

ƤαƖƖαѕ ✧Anthony smiled back at her, before looking at the two girls once again, only to find that one of them was waving at him and the other was blushing a bright red. Oh. Weird. Waving back with a soft smile, Anthony grabbed his backpack and books and stood up from the table, just in time to hear the bell ring. Time for class, the most dreaded part of the day. Walking through the bustling halls with Abbey, Anthony pursed his lips. "Did you notice those two girls behind us, sitting about two tables from us?" It was probably nothing, but he wanted to bring it up anyways. "I dunno, one of them waved at me and I'm kind of confused." Anthony spoke, once more playing with his piercings. He does that from time to time, it's sort of like he does it when he's thinking or some similar emotion.
