Get.Down [[Henri]]

[Erica Jane Morgan]

The blond haired seventeen year old sat at the edge of her bed, in the Blue Ribbon housing. She looked over to her pet dachshund, Sophie, who was laying beside her. Head in paws, and big sad eyes. It's a Friday afternoon, well more like Friday night. She sighed as she soon realized she had never been to Blue Ridge's Boot Scootin' Boogie. She heard it had live music at 11. Yet she wouldn't have time to stay up that late. Since she is going alone. You never know your luck, you might meet someone that can actually become a real friend. 'That would be nice..' She thought to herself as she got up to get ready.

She dressed up in something nice, yet not too of a 'bad girl' image or anything like that. Guess she wasn't really 'dressing up'. Whatever. She just sighed as she put on her 'dance' necklace and dusted off her ruffled tank top for any wrinkles. She then looked in the mirror and applied a coat of lip gloss. She wasn't much of a fan of make up. Just lip gloss and that's all. She grabbed her phone, keys, and all the stuff she needs and put it in her bag. She then said her good bye to Sophie before she locked Sophie in the dorm. She hoped Sophie doesn't know a way out of the dorm. Yet she has her doubts. She walked out of the Blue Ribbon housing and drove to town.

As she drove up. She looked around. The place looked pretty cool. She noticed that there was a fair amount of people on a Friday night. She knew some people had homework, yet she was different, she wanted at least a little fun this week. She pushed open the door and walked in. The place was fairly nice. The music was groovy enough to make someone want to dance. This place knows how to 'get down'. She looked around, and saw that there was no one she knew that was at the Boot Scootin' Boogie. She sighed as she turned around and bumped into a another girl who was here. "I'm so sorry.." Was all she said right away before she couldn't think of anything else to say.

OOC: Just to make sure, the person she bumped into was Henri ^^

[Henrietta Charleston]

Henri looked over at her rose tinted watch, wondering what she was going to do on a free Friday night. What she had figured, it wasn’t so cool to stay forever alone in a dorm room all by yourself on a free night; let alone a Friday night. Well, minus the cat she was alone, though Henri always treated Mr. Brass like a human. The cat purred and rubbed against her arm before going off to sit on his window ledge. Henri shook her head, wondering why the animal didn’t really ever leave her dorm room. Brass was huge, though he was strictly an indoor cat. He didn’t exactly like the outdoors.

Finally, after wallowing in her own self-pity of being so alone, Henri sat up; a determined look on her face. While she may have been new, things traveled fast around the Blue Ribbon House. She knew of the “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” as it was called, was supposed to be the hippest joint in town, though Henri decided she would go look for herself. She had also heard it had live music on Fridays, which was even more of a reason to go. After a mini argument in her mind, Henri stood and threw on something a bit hick style, though it was cute enough for the night. Short shorts were still in season, in which she decided she would go with.

Henri let her wavy hair lay loose, crawling down her shoulders and back. Finally, her make up consisted of a very light lip gloss, concealer and bronzer. A little eyeliner added into the mix , as well as mascara and she was all good to go. Henri walked over and resisted the urge of giving the cat a kiss due to her particularly sticky lip gloss. The last thing she needed was an intake of cat hairs. Instead, she gave him a soft scratch behind the ears before heading off.

The girl drove cautiously, biting her lower lip in nervous habit. Finally she parked in the somewhat packed parking lot of the place; hopping out and straightening out her clothes before walking into the place. Immediately dance music hit her ears and Henri grinned. Music was possibly the only thing that could make her come out of her hiding place the fast way. The girl was shy at first, though she most certainly did have a wild side. It was still developing, but it had gotten much stronger as her father sent her away to BRRA. Then, to her surprise a hard thump bumped her and the girl’s blue eyes flew to her new acquaintance. Henri smiled at her apology and shook her head “It’s fine.” she said happily before looking more closely at the girl. “Hey… you go to BRRA?” she asked curiously.

[Erica Jane Morgan]

Erica grinned and was relieved the girl wasn't those ones who aren't so forgiving. She then glanced at the girl as she looked to be about her age. She then remembered seeing this girl around BRRA. It was like as if the girl read her mind and as she asked the question. "Hey... you go to BRRA?" She then nodded. "Yep... I remember seeing you around the Academy." She spoke witha small grin on her lips. "I'm Erica, if you were wondering.." She added as she put out her hand for the girl to shake.

She then went over to sit in one of the seats with her. She then wanted to get to know the student a little better. Without being reffered to as the information digger or whatever the saying is. "So how long have you been here at Blue Ridge?" She asked to continue some kind of conversation to pass the time. She then heard life music finally play in the new music play in the background. It was for sure sounded like a song from the famous Elvis. Yet it was an unfamiliar song to her.

OOC: Sorry, crappy post x.x

[Henrietta Charleston]

Henri studied the blonde in front of her. The girl was just too familiar to not ask. The brunette smiled in soft embarrassment at her rather quick moving question as she asked if she was from Blue Ridge Academy. The blonde was most definitely her age, if not a little older, though she was quite sure they were in the same range. At the prospect of making a new friend, Henri’s excitement grew. She was making quite a few these days in which she was quite happy with especially since she somewhat kind of a loner back home. Homeschooling had its benefits, though Henri was starting to think normal school was lot more fun.

However, it was quite stressful. A few drinks wouldn’t hurt, though this time Henri promised herself she wouldn’t get drunk. The scar resting on her arm reminded her of that at least once a day. The girl focused back on her new acquaintance as she replied in conformation of her assumptions. Henri smiled as she also said she had seen her around the school and then politely introduced herself. “I’m Henri.” she said, a happy grin on her face as she grabbed the other’s hand and gave it a shake. She was quite skilled in that from shaking all her father’s rich friends and dealing with all their formal ways.

Henri followed Erica to the seats and made herself comfortable next to the girl as they continued their conversation. She was quite lucky to have literally run into the girl tonight. “Oh, I actually just arrived a few days ago.” Henri replied in accordance to her question; curiosity shining in her blue orbs. “How bout’ you?” she asked, a smile on her face as she waited for her reply. The live music played behind them, a song Henri had heard of but never actually got to know the name or the singer. She turned to look at the girl once more, assessing her whether to trust her or not. “Can you get a good drink here?” she asked with a raised brow, wondering if this place was willing to let things slide a bit.

[Erica Jane Morgan]

She grinned towards the girl as she glanced at her. She was obviously beautiful than Erica. Most girls are just born pretty. She wish she was one of them. Yet you never get what you wish for. She just let out a sigh inside as she thought about her two sisters back home, both of them born beautiful, where she was at first born as a nerd before she turned pretty, well.. not total pretty, just not a nerd again. That's one thing she is lucky about.

She imagined her back when we started school. How people bullied her when she was a total nerd. She hated those people and ever since she was beautiful, she bullied them and turned into the bad guy.. er.. girl. She shook her mind out of that thought as she turned her attention back on the student, who introduced herself as Henri and shook her hand. "Henri, that is a unique name. I don't know anyone else named Henri.." She said that is a good way with a smile. "Yet it seems to fit you, the unique way you are.." She added keeping her smile as she complimented her.

She was glad to bump into the girl on a Friday night. Now she has the opportunity to make a new friend, or maybe even a best friend. She never had a best friend yet, the closet she can get is just a friend. She listened as Henri replied to her question. She nodded to show that she understood before the question was turned over to her. "Well.. I don't keep track of the days, weeks or months, yet I know I have been here a while.." She said as she let out a short soft laugh. She then listened to the music playing in the background before Henri asked about any good drinks. She knew what she ment. Finally, a bit of a wild side to someone she finally met. She then grinned. "To tell you the truth, this is my first time here out of all the places in town, yet I doubt this place wouldn't let you go a bit wild.. It is pretty much kind of like a night club." She said with a wink and a devious grin planting on her lips.

OOC: Too lazy to put up the picture xD

[Henrietta Charleston]

Henri looked over her new acquaintance, grinning at her blonde hair. It was pretty, though Henri knew she would probably look terrible with it. It amused her how much she compared herself to the other girls at this school when before she really couldn’t care less. The brunette was somewhat of an easy go lucky girl with appearance, though she did take pride in the outfits she created. Not that she really tried. Waking up early was yet another new thing for her and Henri barely managed to drag her butt out of bed in the morning let alone getting all fancied up.

She chuckled at the girl as she was surprised at her name. Henri blushed at the unique compliment “Thanks. It’s actually Henrietta… though I really dislike that name by all means.” she said with a laugh before nodding “You’re quite unique too. I haven’t met one person to compliment me as sweetly as you do as you meet me.” she said softly, giving her happy grin. She decided she liked this girl despite her lack of knowledge about her though her sweetness was too hard to think she was not trustworthy. Henri glanced around at the dancing bodies before looking back at Erica.

She nodded as the girl explained how long she had been here, a sigh settling over her lips. She was quite the new girl. Quite new to everything it seemed. Henri chuckled as the girl explained she didn’t know much but she knew enough to know it was a night club. The brunette returned her wink with a mischievous one as well and spoke in a stage whisper “Let’s go get wild tonight then eh?” she replied, her blue eyes shining. Henri had always wanted to know what getting wild with a friend was like, though her idea was robbing her dad’s collection of alcohol. Well, used to be idea anyway.

[Erica Jane Morgan]

Erica glanced back into her day dreams about back in her hometown, even though there has been a horrible history back then. She couldn't believe that she just got dsitracted. There's someone here and she should give her attention. She is not really known to lose her focus so easily like this. Yet since it feels like an unusual night, being herself might not be on the top of her list.

She looked back over to Henri as she replied to her compliment about her name. She really actually did like the name Henri, even if it was short for Henrietta. Not that bad of a name. Unlike Erica's name, sounds like one of those devious names in like those movies of plays. Yet somewhat it suits her, since she sometimes feels like this night might get a little devious along with it. “You’re quite unique too. I haven’t met one person to compliment me as sweetly as you do as you meet me.” She was surprised at that response. "Really? That's unatual then, you're already a compliment to yourself." She responded with another smile. She has never been this nice to someone, yet she was somewhat in the mood to be this nice.

She glanced over to the other random people she didn't know, dancing away at the club. She thinks it's mainly a night club after what she had commented to the girl. She looked over as Henri suggested about going wild tonight. "You bet, I feel in the mood to go wild.. If you're with me?" She kept her devious grin. She never gone wild at a night like this. Yet, what the heck, why not take chances. This might be a long night.

OOC: SORRY you had to wait soo looong for this post. Here you go Harley <3

[Henrietta Charleston]

Henri didn’t mind the faraway look in the blonde’s eyes as she knew what that felt like quite well. The brunette was quite known to switch back into her thoughts of what was going back home. Or rather, more specifically, what was Clarence doing that she probably would never be able to. The things that her parents provided her sister made the sixteen year old want to pull her hair out at times. Especially when she had been the good child almost all her life. The whole purpose of coming to the club was to break out of that. And Henri felt readier than she had ever been to just be naughty for once in her life.

The girl found Erica’s likeness of her name quite funny. She had always wanted some kind of girly name, something that was obviously a girl name like Erica. Of course, being a normal human being, Henri wanted what she couldn’t have. She did actually quite Erica’s name, and she wish people didn’t raise their brows in surprise when a female voice answered the attendance record teacher’s calling voice. Her eyes turned soft as the blonde yet complimented her once more, causing Henri to blush. She smiled at the girl, her liking of her increasing as she responded back. “As are you.” It was true, the girl was actually quite gorgeous and she could see that she did indeed like to have fun.

At that thought, Henri couldn’t help but feel as if she’d met the exact right person she had needed at the moment. Someone to just go wild with. A devious grin lit her face as the blonde responded in a positive note declaring she would go wild as soon as Henri was in. At that, the brunette made a naughty face, nodding slowly. “You bet.” she grinned, wondering what on earth they would have to do. Motioning for Erica to follow, she siddled up to the bar. She chuckled and whispered to the blonde “Alright, if we get anything good to drink, talk about college so they think we’re older than eighteen.” she explained slightly, trying to do it as she’d seen in a movie. With that the brunette walked up to the older guy serving the drink and said loudly to Erica. “Wow! I wish I went to high school at BRRA. Too bad I’m in college now.”


OOC: I am cracking up so much at these two newbie BAs. xDD

[Erica Jane Morgan]

Erica wondered what it would be like to have found the very best of a friend, and she thinks that she has finally found the right person. She thinks they will be the best of friends after this night. Unlike what happened again back in her Elementary years. Wow, horrible memories once more. 'These memories will just never go away!' She got frustrated in her thoughts but didn't show it. She just continued to have some fun with her new friend.

Still keeping on the topic about how unique the pair's names were. Both of their names, paired up together, sounds like a perfect match. Each of them having the same devious personality in them for a bit of fun. She blushed slightly as she turned the comment back to her. This will be a great relationship for the two. She gave a small smile as in thanks.

She continued to grin deviously with the girl. She just couldn't stop. She wanted to have a good time, and this time, she will get it. She listened as she got a positive response back over to her. She followed Henri as they approached the bar. “Alright, if we get anything good to drink, talk about college so they think we’re older than eighteen.” She chuckled along with her and nodded as if she will agree with the plan. Just like in those movies. She couldn't help by giggle inside as the girl tried to act normal. “Wow! I wish I went to high school at BRRA. Too bad I’m in college now.” She frowned acting all sorrowful. "I know right? It's too bad, it's such a great Academy.. At least we got in college, better than nothing.." She used the same kind of loud voice over towards Henri and winked towards her, letting her take the next line.

[Henrietta Charleston]

Henri had never really had friends she’d gotten so close to actually do something that wasn’t even legal. Due to her past of somewhat resembling Rupenzel locked in her high tower, the brunette was new to the world of a teenager. When she had first stepped foot into the academy, it had been like traveling into one of her books. It had been an amazing feeling, but she had soon realized how confusing it could be. Henri wanted to fit in, but she wasn’t exactly sure how. She definitely didn’t want to change her quirky personality however as she’d seen some other girls do.

The girl knew she was a bit awkward at times and random as well. She had the teenage hormones and tendencies, she simply didn’t understand them. Henri had never taken any health classes to help her along the way and this was why she was simply letting loose now. Perhaps if she made a friend, a partner in crime for her as a book had called it once, she’d feel like she was more fit in from the awkward home schooled face. Still, Erica seemed to be a very sweet and kind girl, the one that always was the heroine in the all the media Henri dabbled into when she’d not know anything.

Using all the knowledge she’d gotten from movies, the brunette put on her best acting skills. She grinned, Kevin would’ve been proud. Nodding back to Erica, Henri moved in, speaking loud enough in hopes the bouncer wouldn’t get suspicious. Walking with somewhat of an aristocratic stance, she nodded sadly, putting on her best show of wishing she could’ve gone to BRRA. “True, true. You’ve been such a good friend all these years. I say we spend our little high school reunion nicely. Let’s get something to drink.” she winked back at the blonde, sidling up to the counter. Henri tried her most confident approach “Hello sir. I’ll have something strong please....” she looked back at Erica “What would you like?” The bouncer gave them a deep look, but started to prepare something.

[Erica Jane Morgan]

Erica never really found someone who would fit her needs in life, or her personality in other words. It seems that it would all change with Henri around. She's going to like this night, and she knows it. She never really gets along with a friend this much before, especially when it wasn't really legal. 'Hey, why not take your best shot?' She thought, smiling inside of her. It was like a new chapter starting in one of her 'life book' or whatever you call it. The only twist in it will be that the plot would be a devious one indeed. She might actually enjoy this.

She could tell that the pair was just right for each other. Both of them approve on having fun and just going wild in life once in a while. No promises that it will go well in the end, predicting ever small action that's happening at the moment. Life doesn't always go well, so why not live life at its fullest? 'Sounds like a plan..' She made a note to herself. She wondered if after this night, they might just be more than friends. Best friends? Partner in Crime? Who knows? She will just have to find out. After all of that, she turned back to the task at hand.

Using the knowledge from her acting, and the movies of course, using all of the drops of smarts she had for Henri's plan to get them some drinks of their own. She slightly, yet smoothly, strutted along over with Henri towards the counter as she replied to her comment. "You said it.." She replied, acting all flattered as she commented on how she was a great friend. Although, in reality, Henri was a good friend, even though they met just a few minutes ago. She slid over to the counter, next to the girl and grinned as the girl ordered her drink. She gave a nod towards the girl as she asked what she would want. "I would like something strong as well, please.." She secretly winked over to Henri, the bartender not even noticing. If she's going to go wild, than she's going to take some chances.

[Henrietta Charleston]

The lack of friends throughout the brunette’s life had completely closed her in from the outside world. Of course, even Mr. Charleston couldn’t hold his daughter from the media wandering around and Henri had easily glimpsed. After watching so many movies about friendship, romance and nearly everything, she would’ve expected to know exactly what it felt like. Her findings however proved very different in comparison. Not even the most amazing authors had managed to capture the certain excitement and safety she’d felt with coming to BRRA. Henri figured she might as well have come from the moon, it was so different.

There was a slight bit of anger held for her father and his misconceptions on raising a child, but in a way she thanked him for not letting her turn into a Clarence. Her sister was the perfect definition of a mean girl; insolent and spoilt rotten into her ways. Of course, she appeared perfect and sweet as most saw her as. At times even, she was that way to Henri. But despite the few times, she could be nice; the brunette mainly ever got the mean side. Still, Clarence had been the closest thing she had really had to a friend before BRRA.

With that thought, the brunette turned her gaze to the blonde strutting next to her. Henri imagined the two of them doing everything friends really were supposed to; having fun and doing all the things that people did in the movies. The thought fazed her as too unreal to ever come to life, but Erica seemed like the perfect person to go have fun with. Like her, the girl was unafraid as long as the other was standing with her. Nodding with a little aristocratic chuckle the adults always did, she turned back to the bouncer. He was eyeing them with mild suspicion, but Henri was crossing her fingers for the best. Nodding at Erica’s request, she spoke out loud to the man “I’ll get two of those strong drinks please.” She shot the guy her best winning smile, which he raised a brow at.

[Erica Jane Morgan]

So far, this night felt good. It was nice to have a friend to join her in something a bit illegal, but it felt worth it if there was someone to join her. She never thought about having a friend doing something this far with her. Especially since they just met. 'Hey, don't talk your way out of your best night..' She thought to herself as she began to try and think about the good things. What if the bartender didn't even believe them? Oh no, it's her 'what if..' argument once again. It just never stops. She already did something bad, and that was in middle school. She started to bit her lip at this plan they were doing just to get some drinks.

She imagined if they caught us. 'Ugh, nothing will go wrong... Those older college students get these strong drinks too and they don't get caught..' They didn't even get their orders yet. She let out a silent sigh to herself. Life is covered with problems. It just never ends. She then just took a deep breathe and went back to the task at hand. She gave a sweet small smile towards the guy, joining in with Henri. She watched as he glanced at the pair. She can see that look in his eye, the look of suspicion.

She didn't think the plan would work after that. What if it did? Would they get in trouble? 'Just shut up, Erica!' She thought, all frustrated with herself. She just kept her sweet smile, yet a bit tired actually, since a few minutes just went by of silence from the two students and the bartender. 'Ugh, when will he just break and give us the drink already..' She thought to herself as he finally went to get their drinks. She then lessened the smile to a grin and gave a look over to Henri. Trying to say 'Did you think he bought it?' kind of look. She then just shrugged and glanced back over to the bar.

OOC: Sorry I made you wait, AGAIN!!!! I'm a bad person. Dx You can bring in what we planned he would give us after their little 'act'.

[Henrietta Charleston]

Henri wasn’t quite sure they’d get away with what they had been up to, but then again, she’d never tried anything of the sort before. She’d always been able to easily sneak away with the alcohol due to the fact her parents rarely paid much attention to her. Of course, they would when she’d done something seriously wrong that hurt the name of the family, but that wasn’t the type of attention she’d been begging for all her life. In a way, doing naughty things like this seemed to be her way of letting herself loose, though it was a terrible habit.

Still, it didn’t hurt once in a while. Besides, she hadn’t done anything of the sort since she’d come to the academy. Judging from the look on Erica’s face, Henri figured the other girl wanted to have a bit of fun too. It seemed they’d hit off pretty nicely as they were attempting something rather naughty together in the first few minutes of meeting. Henri found it quite amusing, and was happy to actually perhaps fit in with a friend that maybe liked to do the same crazy things as her. Perhaps, this Erica could show her what other girls her age were supposed to do in real life in comparison to what the books stereotyped.

Henri looked at the man, and shot him an encouraging smile as he created their drinks before looking back to Erica. Her look held the same as hers, the big question of whether he’d buy it or not. The brunette gave a little shrug. She wasn’t quite sure, but she was hopeful he had! Raising her brows in excitement as the bartender came back with two cups, the girl smiled at him. He placed the drinks down in front of them both, for once responding to her grin with one of his own. Henri raised a brow before sipping hesitantly on the dark liquid. “Coca-cola?” she sputtered out; now quite confused. The girl looked at the man. “How is this strong?” she asked, somewhat annoyed. “Caffeine is the strongest thing you can have little miss.”
