Roman walked around the halls at the school early before school had even started. He didn't like showing up so early when it wasn't necessary, but he had always been an early riser and he figured he might as well show up to school before he talked himself into skipping again. It wasn't rare for him to come to school, it just wasn't exactly common either.
He hated going to school, he really did. The students either talked about him or stayed away from him. The teachers always seemed on edge when he entered the room. There were times that the blond would just skip lunch and go to the music room to see his uncle because he was so tired of the people. He had family there, but they were all so different from him, and the only real friend he had was a few grades below him and therefore didn't have any classes together.
Just one more year, he reminded himself, one more year and he was out.

Roman had already gone by time Hajime had readied himself for the school day. It was hardly abnormal; the Tora had quickly noticed that his roommate had a habit of waking up much earlier than he did. However, he didn't usually rush straight to class, so Hajime figured he might as well wander the halls a bit as well and see where the Ookami had wandered off to. He didn't have much else to do, and Roman was really the only person he talked to (not counting his brother and Emma, but Shinji slept like the dead and heading over to the girl's dorms would just be really awkward for everyone.)
Hajime threw his books into a messanger bag and put on his headphones, drowning out the early morning silence with gruff vocals and guitar. He made a mental checklist of places to check as he left the room. There weren't all to many places Roman could be, so finding him probably wouldn't be a problem.

Roman continued his wandering until he heard footsteps behind him. The blond jerked his head around quickly, only relaxing once he realized it was just his roommate Hajime. He took a small breath and cracked a small smile to the green haired teen. "Took ya long enough to get up." He teased. He felt a little more calm knowing that he had someone familiar that he WOULDN'T think about punching in the face.

"I woke up at a completely reasonable hour," the green-haired Tora replied, lowering his headphones and letting them hang around his neck. He ran his fingers through his fluffy semi-bedhead, trying to neaten it. He had been unable to style his hair at all this morning, as it was being particularly disagreeable.

The blonde laughed a little to himself and put his hands in the pockets of his jacket. He'd been walking around for a while, it was nice to have someone to talk to finally.
He didn't notice the girl walking down from the other end of the hall way. For once Artemis wasn't with her older brother as she was strutting around like her usual self. She paused when she saw the two guys and rose a brow curiously. "Roman and Hajime right?" She asked when she got close enough.
Roman glanced down and immediately averted his eyes from her. "Go away, will ya Artemis?" He didn't like her, like a lot of people. It didn't help that her brother was practically stalking his little cousin either.

Hajime was equally irritated with the other Tora's presence. While his issue really lay with her brother's semi-stalking of Emma (which he kept telling himself had nothing to do with jealousy whatsoever), he wasn't overly fond of Artemis either. He sent a sideways glance in her direction, mostly emotionless, but it was clear he was also displeased. But... he decided it was best to leave the talking to the others. He'd just do what he did best, be tall and awkward.

Artemis looked at the too with mock hurt. "Well I was just trying to make conversation, no need to be rude." She sent a small glare at the two, keeping a small smile on. "You know Roman, your sister's not that well behaved either." She shrugged. "Though I guess manners isn't something a slut needs to learn." After what her father told her about the Kings and Megumis, she was making it her personal mission to screw with them. It was in her blood right?
Roman twitched at Artemis' remark, taking his hands out of his pockets. "Sh-shut up," he muttered, trying to keep a hold of himself. He didn't wanna blow up again, especially not with Hajime there. And even though Artemis was a bitch that had it coming, he didn't like hitting girls either.

Hajime shifted a little closer to his roommate, glancing uneasily between him and Artemis. He knew Roman had a temper, and he would rather avoid any violence if at all possible. He didn't know how much it would take for the Ookami to snap, but Artemis was particularly talented at getting under people's skin.

Artemis noted the little shift from Hajime, thoigh she kept her eyes on Roman to see how far she could push him. "What? You didn't know that about her? Haven't you wondered how she gets all that shopping money from?" She grinned a little wider and winked at him. "She's very popular with the guys~"
"I SAID SHUT UP!" Roman roared, taking a step toward the brunette. Why wouldn't she just STOP? Did she WANT to get her neck snapped?!
Artemis took a step back herself, but her smirk never faded. She had her hand in her purse in case she needed to grab the butterfly knife she always kept on her. She glanced over at Hajime. "Do me a favor and keep your friend back, huh handsome?"

This time Artemis got the full intensity of Hajime's glare, a rare smoldering rage that was saved only for people who REALLY pissed him off. A second later he turned his attention back to his roommate, knowing he should probably try to calm him down.
"Roman..." he warned in a low voice, trying to snap the Ookami's attention away from the Speirs girl.

Roman jerked his head back to his roommate, then back to Artemis. She wasn't worth it, that was what he needed to tell himself. Besides, she was probably lying. Perri was out there, but she wouldn't go that far... would she? He moved back and shifted his eyes down to stare at the floor, a habit of his for when he didn't feel comfortable.
Artemis stood straighter once the blonde retreated back. "Well aren't you two a cute little pair?" She chuckled. "Bet your parents are proud. Or parent in blondie's case." She didn't feel like letting up on him just yet, especially since she could see him tensing up again.

"You must think you're very clever," the green-haired teen quietly retorted. Normally he wouldn't have said anything but, damn, did she make him mad.
Hajime then turned back to Roman, concern briefly flashing through his gaze. "Let's get out of here. She isn't worth it."

Roman looked over at Hajime, then back to Artemis. He didn't want Artemis to win, she'd just come back worse next time around and that was the last thing he wanted.
The brunette just stood there and smiled while he made his decision. "I'm sorry Roman, I didn't offend you did I? I just thought it was okay since everyone else talks about your no good family." She tilted her head to the side and waited for his response.
Roman tried keeping his calm, he really did, bit this was NOT something he tolerated. That said, he blindly lunged for the girl.

Hajime let out a yelp of surprise when Roman lunged forward, stepping out of his way before thinking to try and grab him. The Tora reached out, missing his roomate's arm by mere centimeters. He called the other boy's name again, trying to bring him back to his senses. Hajime wasn't sure he could Roman back even if he DID manage to get a hold of him, but damn, the Ookami was fast.

Roman grabbed Artemis by her shoulders, pinning her to the wall. The brunette was shocked at his speed, she didn't have time to grab her knife and she had actually been PREPARED. She didn't show her surprise however, and somehow kept a pretty good poker face.
Roman on the other hand, was breathing heavily, decided between the pros and cons of snapping her neck right about then. He couldn't just let her get away with saying all of that, he was sick of it! He just wanted everyone to SHUT UP!! Why did they INSIST on messing with him?! WHY?!
Artemis kept herself quiet, hand carefully slipping into her purse. If she could just get to her knife she would be fine. At least, she thought that until the blond squeezed her shoulders tighter and threw her across the hall like it was nothing. The brunette caught herself rather well, standing up straight to fix her hair and clothes. That damn bastard, he had the nerve to do that to her?
"Go." Roman ground out through his teeth, not bothering to make eye contact with her. "Before I change my mind." He didn't check to see if she left, but the sound of footsteps retreating was enough to assure him. He then turned around to see what was going on with Hajime. He didn't know what he was going to say to the other teen, but hopefully this didn't change anything with them.
