"Sounds like..." Caroline said thinking about it for a moment. "I don't think I'd ever want to pretend to be something I'm not you know? Even if I was straight I wouldn't wanna say I was something else...just to make people happy. Sure you wear a weird piece of clothing, no harm done. But...I don't know. Changing who you were born to be..." She shrugged not wanting to get on a soapbox. "You know...be you. I have a friend...where he just has trouble being himself," Caroline said with a frown thinking of Angel.
"But you know...I'm not about to start any movements..." Caroline winked at the girl hoping that she didn't think that she was too preachy.

"I get what you mean." she agreed, "I made several speeches...to friends or just my mom."
"Ah, does he? Believe it or not, I went through a period of that myself." she said, "Shy and seclusive."
She smiled, "Now that would be exciting to see."

"Your mom?" Caroline asked with a brow raised. Did they have something in common? Well obviously they couldn't have the same exact situation...but still. "My mom is kinda my living in denial person. Which is funny...you'd think she'd be used to it by now. I knew when I was really little...but she's just in lala land." Or more like the land of gin and vodka.
"Yeah...he's getting better though," Caroline said with a small smile. That boy that he was with...hopefully she'd get to meet him eventually and give him a big hug. "Oh...well I'm glad that you got over it." Her smile spread and she looked down at her notes for a moment. Then she laughed and nodded. "Well if I start a movement I will let you know right away. You could be my right hand lady."

"Yeah, my mom was a big activist back in the 60s." she explained, "She's pretty open minded...and usually in her own version lala land."
"Oh that's good." she said, smiling, "And I'm glad I did too. We wouldn't be having this coversation if I hadn't." she added.
"I'd be happy to be your right hand lady." she said.

"Oh really?" Caroline asked with a grin. "That's pretty cool. I always wanted to be around during the 60's...I think I would have gotten along better. And you know...I liked the fashion. All the colors. And the painting being so experimental...it all being experimental. It was a pretty awesome time. Minus you know...all the political strife and all."
"Well then I'm very very glad," Caroline said smiling deeply. "Then it's offical. Right hand you are...and Miss Dale is looking at me...do you think I should try to stare her down?" She whispered to Brittani leaning over so the girl could hear her better.

"I know! I've always wished I could've seen her in a protest." she said, "All she's got are pictures."
She let out a muffled giggle, "Definately. Go for it." she replied.

Eric smiled a little at Lilia. "Do I ever," he whispered, not wanting Caroline to hear. Shouldn't be a problem though, he thought, She's to busy coming on to her lesbo girlfriend. To Lilia, he added, "I feel like every time the teacher opens her mouth, she might as well be speaking Japanese. I just don't get it." He sighed, frustrated with himself.
Looking over Lilia's shoulder, he caught sight of Caroline giving him the finger. Rolling his eyes, he fought the urge to say something back to her. Not in front of Lilia.

"You can always hope that those time machines start going. If they do then you'll get the chance...sure it's a far fetched hope but you know...better than nothing," Caroline said with another wink. It was the truth...and anyway, Caroline preferred the farfetched.
Caroline bit the side of her lip. "I wonder if it's worth it though...I don't want her to make me do a math problem on the board...but on the other hand I could always draw pretty pictures..." She tried to stare down Miss Dale who eventually rolled her eyes and continued her explination of fractions.

"Well how about you come over after school and we'll work on it? Mom's going to be home anyway, and I'm sure she isn't going to have a problem with it," Lilia replied. She raised an eyebrow when he rolled his eyes and turned around, only to see Caroline giving him the finger. "I'm guessing that you and Caroline don't get along, huh?"

"I like that idea. Give those scientists a good goal." she said, "Time travel."
She covered her mouth as she laughed, "You're great. Very brave." she giggled.

Eric nodded. "That would be great. I'd love to be able to pass this stupid class." He chuckled a bit at Lilia's comment. "No, Caroline and I... we... don't see eye to eye. Our parents have been trying to set us up for years. They just don't get that we're not interested. Not to mention that Caroline's a... lesbian," he tried not to let his disdain show in his voice. Looking up at the board as the teacher spoke, Eric quickly jotted some notes down. When he was done, he stared at his paper for a long moment before shaking his head and looking back at Lilia. "Japanese," he muttered.

Lilia just nodded, suddenly understanding why Eric and Caroline didn't get along. She jotted down her notes quickly, still bored out of her mind with the class. She smiled at Eric's joke. "Well then, I guess you'll just have to learn to speak Japanese," she replied, keeping her voice down so that Miss Dale wouldn't hear.

"Yeah...I mean forget all of the space travel stuff. If they're aliens, they'll come to us. We've learned that from the movies so no need to worry. Put your mind on more important things...like I wanna go back on the Titanic...before the big ice though," Caroline giggled. "And sweep Kate Winslet off her feet...just kidding."
"Why thank you," Caroline smiled. "I try."

"Well, you're the one who's fluent, Lil," he told her. "Hope you're a good teacher," he winked, glancing up at the teacher who was still droning on about an algebraic something-or-other. Hearing the new girl giggle, he set his jaw and looked straight ahead. God. Did they have to flirt like that in here? Never mind that he'd do the same with Lilia in a heartbeat... that was completely different.

Lilia just shook her head and smiled, writing down some more notes that the teacher was giving. It was starting to feel like it was going to be one of those days where it took everything she had to stay awake through her classes.
Lilia glanced over at Caroline and Brittani, thinking about her cousin. As annoying as it was to listen to them flirting in class, they did remind her of her cousin and his boyfriend just a bit.
