Day Well Spent {Kendall, Logan}

[Cassidy Grayson]

So Cassidy couldn't say she was very upset that it was fall break. She loved Gordon Parks' so far, but it was a lot more demanding than any other school she'd been used to. That didn't bother her so much, though. It'd never been hard for her to get good grades, she'd been in private schools ever since she was even in school. But still it was the work overload that was a bit different, and even though she was adjusting quite nicely, the school system was very different here than it was in France, and seeing as the last years of her being in the United States for school dated back to when she was quite younger, she'd grown used to the way things worked in Paris, and it was pretty different from here. Either way, she planned on working just as hard as possible to get the highest grades she could. She had no illusions about being the best in her grade - there were many good students in Sophomore year that would beat her any time, but that didn't mean she couldn't work and be close second. She might enjoy having fun and raising her adrenaline count, but her studies mattered too.

Which was probably why she found herself heading to the library early on the tuesday morning of fall break for her history class. She'd learnt about France history for the past few years, and so learning about United States history was quite new to her. It was interesting, of course, but she could feel that she had a slightly different approach to it than some of the other students did. Not that she thought that a bad thing, after all she knew most teachers valued originality. But even then, she knew she needed a bit more information than what she had, and where better to get it than the school library? She definitely loved that library, too. She had yet to go there and not find what she'd been looking for. She smiled at the librarian as she walked inside the room, not really paying much attention to the other students who were currently in the library as she headed toward the big bookcases right where the small sign 'history' hung, figuring she'd find what she needed sooner or later in that section. Besides, she wasn't really looking for anything in particular, and she had all day.

--------------------------------------------------------
Kendall had kind of wanted to head home during fall break, because she had missed her parents quite a bit. It was difficult to go without seeing them, difficult to not have her mom to talk to when she was easily one of her best friends. And while she'd made a couple of friends here it wasn't at all the same thing. She still felt a little bit strange in confiding too much into anyone just because she hadn't gotten to know them too much or over enough of a period of time really. And then she missed just having her dad around as well, just talking to him and doing stuff with him. But it wasn't like they had the type of money that she could just fly back home whenever she wanted. It'd probably be a bit of a stretch financially to even get her home for Christmas and she knew that her parents would probably be working overtime to even get her there. She sighed a bit sadly at the thought, it wasn't fair how hard the two of them had to work just to be able to get the basic things and to get extra.. well it wasn't anything easy.

So today she'd actually decided to take some of the break time that she had off of classes to get the school work that she had to do done. Not because she was just that responsible or something but because it was just something to do that had to get done anyway. She made her way to the library, so that she'd be able to get some research done for some of the homework that she had to do. It was a pretty nice day though, so later on she'd probably actually end up going outside and maybe doing a bit of painting or drawing or something of the sorts. She pushed open the doors to the library and headed inside of it, looking around a little bit at the other people that were inside of the library and working already. There weren't bunches of them but there was still a pretty good amount of them that had decided to come and get some work done. None that she really recognized however so she just decided to get to work, setting her stuff down on a table before she made her way over to the history section and starting to browse through some of the books trying to figure out which she'd need.
--------------------------------------------------------

[Cassidy Grayson]

Cassidy pretty much had to say that the beginning of her very first year at the Academy had been pretty interesting. She hadn't exactly thought that what was meant to be a one night stand would turn to have such an effect on her life - though, she'd known he would be teaching here, but still, he hadn't exactly planned on acknowledging him or having him ruin that plan - but his reaction to the whole thing had pretty much turned it into a challenge for her. It wasn't that she was seeking trouble, neither for him nor for her, and she was pretty careful whatever she did, but just seeing him and thinking back on what had happened, and all that he'd said, she just couldn't help herself, purposedly brushing against him whenever she passed him in the hallway - which she might have done even if it wasn't on purpose anyway, considering the amount of students there was prone to be in the school's hallways - or simply sending him knowing looks whenever his eyes met her own. She hadn't spoken to him again since the dance though, but she was pretty sure he was still pretty nervous.

And really, though it amused her, her intentions weren't bad. She had a genuine interest in the guy, because for one thing he was definitely different than the guys she was used to, and for another... she kind of wanted him pretty damn badly. And then, it was partly his fault too - he'd presented her with a challenge she just couldn't refuse. She hadn't exactly thought up all the details of it just yet, but it would come sooner or later. And of course she would make sure that any move she made that could be potentially risky would be made in a manner that nobody would come to learn of it. She really didn't want him to get in any kind of trouble for this, she just couldn't help herself. She pushed those thoughts out of her mind though as she looked through the books on the shelf in front of her, idly aware that someone had joined her in the alley but not looking until she actually almost bumped into her, stepping back slightly before turning to look at Kendall, a smile growing on her face. "Well it's good to see I'm not the only one stuck in the library on such a nice day," she said.

[Kendall Miller]

--------------------------------------------------------
Really the library at GPA was so much bigger and had so many more books than any library that she'd been in before. Especially compared to that of her old school back in Wisconsin. But then, it wasn't really all that surprising either. Everything at Gordon Parks seemed to outshine anything that she'd ever known or been a part of. This place was pretty much still like a dream to her, a lot of times things seemed too amazing to actually be happening. Her art classes were definitely the highlight of her days because they were just that great and she had so much freedom really within even all the projects. Mrs. Spencer was also probably one of the kindest and most helpful teachers that she'd ever had and on top of that she was so extremely talented as well that she felt that she had so very much that she could learn from her. She knew that art wasn't something that easily made money - especially not when you were young and unknown - but if you could manage to get people to buy your stuff and get recognition for it it had to be pretty amazing.

She wandered down the aisle as she looked for the book that she needed, her thoughts drifting to other places pretty easily just because she had a tendency to daydream as well. She was brought back into it though when Cassidy almost crashed into her, grateful that she had stopped herself though because otherwise that probably would have sucked. Bumping into people wasn't anything that she found fun and she doubted that other people did either even if neither one of them was very big or would cause a lot of damage to the other. She smiled back at the other girl as she heard her comment about not being the only one stuck inside on a nice day. "Nope, the grasp of homework has gotten me stuck inside the library as well," she replied with a soft laugh. "Though maybe if I finish soon enough on my assignment I'll be able to get out and enjoy at least a little bit of the nice weather while it lasts." Which, probably wasn't going to be that much longer unfortunately. At least Missouri didn't have winters like Wisconsin though, so that was a plus side already.
--------------------------------------------------------

[Cassidy Grayson]

It wasn't the first time that Cassidy came cross Kendall, obviously since they were both Sophomores and on top of it happened to be in the same group as well, so aside from their art classes, they shared every single other classes together. There was no denying that she seemed pretty interesting, and she was definitely good looking too. They'd gotten to know each other a bit, but not that well yet and Cassidy figured this would be a very good time to work on that. And well, she wouldn't exactly say no to getting to know her better on an aspect that was more physical too. It'd been a while now since Cassidy had figured out she was attracted to girls too when it came to a more physical aspect of a relationship, but she'd never really had the occasion to try and explore that, mostly because, though they weren't prejudiced, she didn't think her grandparents would have liked to hear about that, and the circle of friends which she blonged to back in Paris was very tightly knit together, causing gossip to travel pretty fast, so she'd always had to be very careful with what she did back there.

Thankfully enough though, it wasn't the case anymore - probably the only good point about having left Paris because she definitely missed the city and her grandparents. But at least that would give her the occasion of getting to know the other girl on a different level, granted that the rumors she'd heard about the other girl's sexuality were true. And if they weren't, well, no harm in trying. She'd always been one to try out for new experiences, and she figured one of this kind would most likely turn out to be quite enjoyable. And even if it turned out that she wasn't really that much into girls, even from a sexual point of view, at least she would have tried and found out. She grinned slightly when she heard the other girl's response, shaking her head a bit with a small sigh. "I know, right, you'd think homework would do itself," she said with a grin, nodding slightly when Kendall then added if she finished soon enough maybe she'd be able to go out and enjoy the nice weather a bit, figuring that might indeed be a good thing to do. "Well I'm pretty sure I'll be stuck in here all day," she said, looking through the books she'd gathered in her arms.

[Kendall Miller]

--------------------------------------------------------
Kendall didn't actually happen to know Cassidy all that well but at least she did know her a little bit since they were in the same group and therefore had the same classes. She was never against getting a chance to try and know people better either, because she still didn't have too many people that she could consider to be friends yet. Sure there were a couple of people that she was starting to get a bit closer to and did hang out with a bit but the number of people wasn't all too large and even if it had been she didn't think that she'd ever get to a point where she'd feel like she couldn't use anymore people to be friends with even if the friendship wasn't entirely strong. It was always better to have people on good terms than bad terms either way, since she really didn't happen to like having a lot of negative energy coming toward her. But mostly she didn't do enough for people to actually fully dislike her or anything mostly a lot of people just thought her a bit odd. Not quite as many people as those at her old school but still a pretty decent amount.

She didn't happen to care too much though if people thought that she was a weirdo because she was comfortable with who she was and thought that she was a good enough person. She laughed softly when she heard Cassidy's joke about homework doing itself. "We can dream," she said with a smile. Really it would be nice if the homework would just get itself done especially with how much there happened to be here at the Academy, definitely a different sized work load than the one that she'd been getting before. She also glanced down at the stack of books that were in Cassidy's arms when she mentioned that she probably wouldn't get done anytime soon. "Well what are all these for anyway?" she asked the other girl. She couldn't think of any real reason as to why she would need so many books unless she actually happened to be behind in one of her classes or something and she figured that if that were the case it wouldn't hurt to help her out a little bit even if it meant giving up some outside time. "Because maybe I can help you out so that it won't take as long if you want."
--------------------------------------------------------

[Cassidy Grayson]

Cassidy admittingly did wonder how she could make her interest known to Kendall if she ever decided she wanted to try out some experimenting or anything. Well, first of she'd need to know if she really was into girls as well as into guys, because then it might just make thinks awkward - you'd think she wouldn't care about that, but she actually enjoyed the girl's company and she hadn't made that many close friends yet, of course she had many people she talked to once in a while, did work with in school, and she talked with Kaiden and Bree a lot, when they weren't off doing whatever they did behind closed doors, but still, having a new friend would be pretty cool and she was sure Kendall could fit the bill rather well. So she didn't want to ruin a potential friendship by coming onto her too strongly when she wasn't even attracted to girls in the first place. Well, she'd have to wait and see how that could work out, and if anything she was pretty sure they would end up being friends anyway. She was good enough at getting forgiveness from people and helping them get over the awkward bit.

"Yeah, well, dreaming works in some cases," she said with a slight grin, sending the girl a slightly flirtatious look though not too much that it would be overdone. That could work well for a first try. She glanced down at the books she held in her arms though when Kendall pointed them out, sighing lightly. "Well, those are for history," she said, trying to balance them on one arm as she reached to grab another with her other hand, adding it to the top of the pile and figuring that would do for now. "I didn't study in America long enough to hear a lot about US history, so I kind of have a bit of catch up to do on the subject," she admitted to the other girl. "Like... stuff you'd know since elementary school, I don't necessarily remember anymore because I had to learn about Europe and France history instead," she added before flashing her a wide grin. "Help would be great though, but admittingly I have no clue where to start. If you'll have noticed," she said, glancing down at her the stack of books. "I just picked books completely at random. I don't even know if they'll end up being useful to me."

[Kendall Miller]

--------------------------------------------------------
Kendall didn't miss the slightly flirtatious look that Cassidy sent her and she sent back one herself since she didn't see the harm in it. Cassidy was a pretty attractive looking girl after all and she did seem nice enough, so if she wanted to take interest in her like that she wouldn't mind it. She wasn't someone who liked to use labels on herself, even when it came to sexuality. She liked what she liked and that was the end of it. So what if she happened to find some girls attractive as well as some guys? That didn't mean that she had to have a label above her pointing it out for everyone else to know. The only people that should care were the ones that actually had an interest in her themselves anyway. What did it even matter to everyone else who she was into? It didn't seem like information she felt entirely necessary to go out and shout to the streets. She wouldn't conceal it either, if people asked, but she didn't say anything to people about it when it wasn't something that she had to do. She didn't see the point in it really.

She listened to what Cassidy had to say about catching up with things since she hadn't been around the United States to learn a lot of stuff that they'd already known. If she had come the previous year she probably would have been better set since most schools happened to do a lot of review of past knowledge and dig a bit deeper into it during the Freshman history classes and she assumed that the Academy was probably the same on that. Of course, they were probably a bit tougher too. "Well I'm not a history wiz but I think that I could probably help," she said with a smile. She looked down at the books that the other girl held and took a couple of them for her, figuring that she wouldn't end up needing them. "First we should get you some more helpful books though." She walked a bit down the aisle and looked through some titles trying to figure out which would be best to catch the actress up on her studies. Not that she'd ever had to do that herself.
--------------------------------------------------------

[Cassidy Grayson]

Cassidy rarely bothered herself with losing much time when she wanted something. After all, what was the point especially if she was gonna end up getting it? And if she didn't get it, then she'd much rather know it sooner than later. However, when she noticed the flirtatious look Kendall sent her back she figured maybe this would be even easier than she'd thought. Things seemed to be going pretty well at the very least, and she had no doubt this could be very enjoyable if they just decided to try it out. Sure, she didn't really have that much experience with girls - well, okay, she had absolutely no experience with girls - but she was pretty sure that wouldn't matter too much. After all, she knew her own body and she knew what was enjoyable for a girl, being one. Though she figured that maybe Kendall's most sensitive points, and the things she liked the most, weren't quite the same as what was right for her own body, that didn't mean she couldn't easily figure it out after a few minutes or so. Besides, she didn't exactly lack any talent when it came to sex.

She glanced at Kendall when she said that she wasn't a history wiz but that she probably could help, grinning back at her - that would definitely be a good thing, because really, she wasn't so much into this, and getting some help would probably make it go faster and then they'd have time for... well, something else. She watched as the other girl took a few books back from her, figuring that meant she wasn't gonna need them, following her down the aisle as she went to search for other books. She moved to place the stack of books that was still in her arms down on the floor for a few minutes while Kendall searched for more, figuring it'd give her arms a bit of rest at the very least. After all, books got pretty heavy. But she couldn't help but think a bit more about the whole experimenting thing. After all, if Kendall really was into it... well, better sooner than later right? And then, she really wasn't the type of girl to take half an hour to get to the point she wanted to get to. "So, Kendall, have you ever been with a girl?" she asked her a bit curiously.

[Kendall Miller]

--------------------------------------------------------
Kendall wasn't sure how things were going to turn out with Cassidy but she didn't think that she needed to know either. She wasn't someone to waste time looking into the possibilities of things. If something was going to happen it was going to happen and if she was going to help her with her history and nothing else well than that's what was going to happen. She didn't need to complicate matters with the 'if' questions. She'd always found it silly how people could spend so much time overly worrying about how things could happen instead of just focusing on what was happening right in that moment. After all, the world could come to an end any second if it wanted to. Some crazy gunman could come gun down the school if he wanted to. The list went on with all the possibilities of things that could happen in the future, but that didn't mean that she was going to waste the energy on things that had a high possibility of never even becoming an issue. Besides that it wasn't like she was overly interested in anything happening with the other girl either, she didn't know her well enough to be.

She had been searching along the bookshelves with Cassidy walking with her, smiling a little bit as the other girl set down the books that she'd left for her to use figuring that they had probably gotten a bit heavy. She was reaching to grab a book when she heard the question that the other girl asked but didn't make anything out of it. In fact, with the way that she reacted to it one could have assumed that she'd just been asked about the weather or what classes she was taking. She nodded a bit and grabbed a book that she thought would be useful to Cassidy. "Oh, sure I have," she replied easily. She hadn't been with that many people in general, only a handful or so but of them one or two had been girls. She didn't have any problems admitting it, because she was comfortable with who she was enough not to worry about the question no matter who was the one asking it. She didn't even bother asking the other girl why she asked it, turning and handing the book to her. If she wanted to say something about it she would she figured.
--------------------------------------------------------

[Cassidy Grayson]

Cassidy figured there was nothing wrong with asking such a question to another person, after all, Kendall didn't seem to be the type who would get upset over her wanting to know that kind of information. She'd given back the flirtatious look, hadn't she? That pretty much had to mean something, and Cassidy was merely casually leading them onto the subject like she would do with a guy. Well, no, not exactly how she would do with a guy, but still, this was the kind of approach she tended to use when it came to her flirting with people. Light, just as if she was discussing anything else. Because after all, relationships and sex happened every day, why should she have another kind of approach to something that was so common? Maybe it wasn't so common when you found someone you really loved and whom you wanted to be with for the rest of your life, but for her that had yet to happen, so she figured that until then, she'd keep going at it the way she'd gotten used to it. And she hadn't seen anybody complain about it before, either, so she figured that it worked well enough.

She kept looking at Kendall with a slightly tilted head, using the occasion to examine her a bit. She was attractive of course, there was no denying that, with her long, flowy blonde hair and bright blue eyes. And then her body was nothing to complain about either, so really if Cassidy was given an option as to the first girl she might ever be with, it would most likely be her. She'd come across other girls whom she knew to be bisexuals or lesbians before, but there just hadn't been any interest there. And when Kendall confirmed that she actually had been with girls before, that only made it that much better. "I haven't," she said with a light shrug. "Well, more like I haven't had the occasion to," she corrected herself, her arms folded behind her back as she kept leaning casually against the bookshelf and glancing at the girl beside her. "I guess you could say interesting girls are as hard to find as interesting guys," she added with a slight grin. After all, though she'd been with quite a few guys and no girls, she was pretty sure half of them she shouldn't have gone with.

[Kendall Miller]

--------------------------------------------------------
Kendall was the kind of person who really didn't get serious about a lot of subjects. Not in the way that she blew things off because she thought that they weren't important or something but most times people couldn't tell if she were serious or not because she always had a dreamy type tone to her voice. There were a few things that she did get pretty passionate about - like the environment when people made comments about not caring about what was happening to it, which she really thought was just irresponsible of them for not caring about the beautiful planet that they'd been given to live on for their life span. But a lot of subjects were hard to tell if she even had a real opinion on unless you asked her flat out and then really listened to the answer that she gave since her words were the important part to listen to. Sometimes it annoyed some people but she really didn't see what she could do about that, since it had always been her way of being. She did care about things just as much as the next person but she didn't always feel the need to make her opinions known flat out.

She was listening to Cassidy as the girl spoke and hearing what she had to say about the fact that she hadn't actually had the opportunity to be with another girl before. She was pretty sure she was catching onto where this was going and she was perfectly alright with heading along in the same direction as Cassidy was already started. She looked at the other girl as she added the last part about it being as hard to find interesting girls as it was to find interesting guys. Plenty of people were interesting when you gave them the chance to be, just not everyone was patient enough to look at people in such a manner since they wanted others to be interesting right away. But then, there was no doubt that Cassidy was a pretty interesting girl either it was easy to tell right away and patience wasn't even required to figure it out. "Well, I never seem to have too much trouble in finding interesting girls, but I guess that could just be luck on my part," she replied to her, looking at the other girl a bit pointedly.
--------------------------------------------------------

[Cassidy Grayson]

Cassidy figured now would be as good as any time to maybe try and get a tad closer to Kendall. After all, the library was pretty much empty and she highly doubted the librarian was paying them any attention - maybe she even thought they'd left the library. Besides, if someone happened to walk by them and catch them, it wouldn't really bother her and she didn't think Kendall was the type of girl who'd get freaked out over it either. And at the worst, they'd get told off, but she highly doubted they'd get a detention from that. And if the person who happened to find them was a bit more stuck up than the norm and decided to try and give them a detention, she didn't mind taking the blame for it. It wouldn't be the first time that she unfairly got stuck in detention - that'd already happened after a certain someone had decided to go all power trip on her ass - probably just because he couldn't touch it anymore - so she didn't think it would be much different than that. At least maybe then she could have detention with someone else than Mr Anderson.

She couldn't help but grin slightly when she noticed Kendall looking at her a bit pointedly after mentioning that she had no trouble finding interesting girls. "Well, I guess maybe I haven't been looking hard enough, but then sometimes you find someone who's pretty interesting but they're either taken or just not into you," she added with a light sigh. Or they happen to teach at your school and are over eighteen which makes their relationship with you illegal. Oh well. "But apparently... today's my lucky day," she added with another slight grin, not losing much time in moving a bit closer to the other girl and pressing her lips to hers. The worst that could happen at this point would be Kendall pushing her away because she'd misinterpreted her signs, which she highly doubted would happen. She didn't seem to be headed down that road though, and after a little bit she pulled away, knowing there was something she should probably share in case the other girl didn't see eye to eye with her on this. "By the way, this is just for the whole experimentation factor, right? Is that a problem?" she asked, figuring she might as well get that out of the way now.

[Kendall Miller]

--------------------------------------------------------
It was probably a good thing that Kendall wasn't really someone who minded doing things a bit more adventurously. She was alright with the idea of maybe making out in a library where that wasn't full of people or anything, she knew that some people wouldn't be so comfortable with it but she didn't see the harm. Sure, there might be a bit of risk in someone walking by or something but she didn't think that the risk was all that high and then even if someone did she didn't think that they could do anything too bad. Besides, it was kind of nice to do something like this every once in a while. Just decide that she was going to flit back with some girl from her class and possibly do a bit more than flirting with her while inside a library where she was supposed to be doing her homework. Then there wasn't any denying that the possibility of doing something with the other girl was a lot better than the whole homework plan was, since she did have plenty of time to get it done later with the fall break going on and all.

"I guess you're right about that," she replied to the other girl when she mentioned people not being into her when she was into them or being already taken by other people. She smiled a bit as the other girl said that today was her lucky day, pretty alright with the fact that she didn't waste much time to get the ball rolling. She returned the kiss just as soon as the other girl had pressed her lips to her own, deepening the kiss a little bit after a few moments. When the other girl pulled away she wasn't so sure about what she was doing, in case she hadn't liked the kiss or something but she listened to what she had to say about it just being for experimenting and such and nodded a bit. She could understand that well enough and she had done the same thing herself when she'd first started out doing stuff with other girls. "That's fine, I can understand that," she answered her with a slight shrug. She didn't mind helping the new girl with her experimenting in what she was doing and how she felt about each gender.
--------------------------------------------------------

[Cassidy Grayson]

Cassidy had never been one to keep herself from doing things she wanted. Maybe it was the fact that she was slightly spoiled, but then it wasn't like she expected to get whatever she wanted from other people. She just figured that if she didn't try then it was sure that she wouldn't get anything, and so she might as well do it. She couldn't understand people who went through life fearing to experience stuff, because they just missed so much. But then she figured it was normal that people were different from one to another, still she couldn't quite understand. And apparently Kendall seemed to share her point on view on certain aspects anyway because she hadn't pushed her away the moment she'd kissed the other girl, and she didn't think that it was because she was hoping anything would come out of it. That was still why she'd made sure to mention it to her that she was only doing this for the fun of it and for the whole experimentation aspect. She wasn't gonna pursue a relationship with her after this and she probably knew that, but still it was smarter to point it out first.

And then, there was also the fact that she had her eye on someone else but she didn't think it necessary to mention that. She grinned slightly though when she heard the other girl's response to her comment, pretty glad to hear that she agreed to the idea of this being merely for experimentation. "Okay, good," she said, not losing much time in pressing her lips to the other girl's again, wrapping her arms around her neck slightly as she moved herself a bit closer to her. She didn't really see any point in losing time anyway, after all who knew how much time until they got caught or decided they had done enough trying out and stuff. Either way, she figured she would push as much as she could until Kendall decided she'd had enough or it was going too far, but then again she figured that Kendall had even more experience than she did when it came to being with other girls so she didn't really think she was gonna push her away for that reason. Maybe she'd just decide she didn't really want to do this after all, but she hoped not.
