He had asked her whether she was a fan of these events or not, but she wasn't sure how to answer. She didn't hate them, or else she wouldn't come, but she didn't particularly like them either. "I'm indifferent." She replied with a shrug. "I don't have a lot of friends, you see." This was probably the first time someone actually wanted to have a conversation with her at one of these things. It was surprising, and nice too. Her only friend, Benny, he was going into the political business. So she didn't have anyone to go with to these events. She didn't completely mind though, people watching could be interesting enough.
After her awkward pause, he had asked her "You don't have to explain if you don't want to."
But how could she not? She had started a sentence, might as well finish. The only person she had told was Benny, but this guy didn't seem to be too judgmental, so she thought, might as well answer. "Ok, so here's the thing. It's a little bit of an embrassing story. But I'm gonna trust you with it." She started, looking at him once again with her eyebrows raised slightly as if this was a serious story. "It was about a year ago, and I was at one of these events, and I was standing around, people watching and drinking. When suddenly this guy walks up to me, handsome smile, drink in his hand. I recognised him from my class, but I had never talked to him. He started talking to me, asking me questions and what not. The questions got more and more intimate, and I was so oblivious. He did the cheesy, tuck your hair behind your ear thing. And he was funny, really funny. I was actually enjoying myself. And so on and so forth. It took almost the whole night, but then he started to get really aggressive and angry. He shouted 'I give up! You're absolutely hopeless! How could you not see what was going on? You are so dumb!' And I was just so confused. He walked off muttering, 'Couldn't even get her into bed'." She gave a loud chuckle. "I really was dumb. I hadn't even realised that he was flirting with me. I had laughed along with his jokes, hadn't even realised the subtle signs. I now realise that he is a flirt, and was trying to get every girl in our class to sleep with him. Which is all of 4." Even now it seemed like such a dumb thing, it was kind of funny to her now, embarrassing but funny. She glanced over at Curtis again. "Curtis, he hasn't talked to me since. Sometimes he'd flash me his smirk, thinking one day he would get his prize." She shrugged again. The loser wasn't worth it. "So there we have it. My history with Curtis." She was kind of glad to be able to tell someone, it really meant that it happened and that she could move forward, the only thing it had taught her was to try and avoid men as much as possible.

Nicolette paced around her room for almost half an hour not sure whether or not she wanted to go see Aurora and get her uniform fixed. But she had to get it fixed at some point. She didn't know how, and her hands were too shaky from her experience to get anything done. She HAD to get it fixed to look presentable for her next shift or else she was going to get a talking too, and she did not need that right now.
She took a really deep breath and gathered her uniform, hugging it to her body. She was afraid to go outside in case he would be waiting, but she had to be brave.
Walking along the corridors her eyes flicked to every single surface that she could see, before her and behind her. So far she hadn't come across anything except for a few stragglers going home from a shift. But they were staring at her as she walked past. The big open gash on her face was visible, but she tried to ignore their stares, nothing good came from thinking about these things.
She made it outside the Blake residence and stood for a moment, holding her hand up to the door. Do it, she encouraged herself. "Do it." She said aloud, coaxing herself to knock on the door. Bellamy had encouraged her to go to his mother if she ever needed anything fixed, and this was the first time she had taken up the offer, as she kept her uniform in relatively good condition.
The nerves had started to fade as she knocked loudly on the door. "Aurora?" She asked through the door.

Nicolette was training with Braeden as preparation to go to the Ground. It was vigorous work, but she enjoyed it. Today she had been complemented on her work many times, which made her feel great. Sometimes she just needed that extra shove in the right direction to make life good.
She was sparring with Braeden, throwing punches left and right, breathes coming out in pants. In the corner of her eyes she could see the last people leaving, waving their goodbye's. She wasn't ready to stop yet. "Is it ok if we keep going? I feel like I'm on a roll." She asked Braeden as she took a pause to wipe the sweat from her brow.
They had been training for a few weeks now, and she had felt more alive than ever. It had been a while since she had had to do proper training, as she got her guardsmanship about 3 years ago. She hadn't realised she missed it until she had started again. Soon though they would be on their way to the ground, and their training would be put to use. The prospect was both scary and exciting. She didn't have any family or friends, so her choice to volunteer was easy, she was curious about the ground, and she absolutely wanted to help in any way possible. This was her chance.

She wasn't surprised to hear him say he was in first year, but she didn't know what to say so she just stayed silent. She was awful at conversations. Only when she was with friends she could be able to make good conversation. But this was not the case.
The boy, who she still didn't know by name made commented, "Funny to think that in a few years time, we'll be the ones chaperoning these kinds of events."
She nodded, it was odd, but she would rather be chaperoning than attending. So in a way this was good practise. "Yeah. It's pretty crazy. Though I'd like that better." For here there was only just under 2 years of her training to go before she would be a full cadet and she was excited about the prospect, it had been her dream for some time.
She was still watching the boy, Curtis, talking with a grin on his face. She didn't know where else to look, everyone was dancing or drinking. "Friend of yours?" The boy beside her asked.
She glanced at him with a smile and a small chuckle. "Oh. No. I was uh-" She stopped herself mid way, not sure if she could continue her embarrassing story. But she also didn't want him to think she had a crush on this guy either, because it was far from it. He wasn't a nice person at all, she could never like someone like that, no matter how handsome they were. Bellamy Blake

The question surprised her, that usually wasn't what people would ask. Usually it started with the question of who are you, how old are you, why are you here? They were all safe questions, and so was this one so she was ok with answering. "Second year. Yourself?" She asked him. He looked about her age, but she knew he definitely wasn't in her year. She recognised everyone from her class, and he wasn't in it. She was curious however at him not hanging out with anyone else. He looked like a guy who could easily make friends, he was approachable. There was nothing intimidating about him.
She glanced away from him, wanting to avoid awkward eye contact. Nicolette knew that sometimes at these parties people would flirt and hook up. One time a guy had hit on her and she hadn't even realised until he shouted at her that she was stupid. She had been pretty embarrassed, and right now she could see him hitting on another girl on the opposite side of the room. It was another reason she tried to stay away from people. But she would rather be embarrassed than upset. There weren't a lot of girls in her class, and all they seemed to do was gang up on her and make fun. She told herself it was nothing she couldn't handle.

Every months since she signed on as being a cadet she had attended these gatherings, even though they weren't really her thing. She didn't like the bustle of all these bodies in one room, but she forced herself to go, just to get among her fellow cadets. One day they would work together, and she certainly needed to show herself, even if she didn't talk to many of them.
She was always a little nervous going, a tingle in her stomach always making her pause before leaving. But it disappeared as soon as she stepped into the room where the music was blasting loudly and she saw people dancing and having fun.
She decided to get herself a drink and stood in the line, needing something to do. She waited as people took a cup and decided to start talking without moving on, she was a little annoyed but she couldn't do anything about it so just waited. But then a boy, a few years younger than her held out a cup to her. She glanced at him, a little intrigued. She took the cup from him with a nod and a thank you. She didn't know what else to say, she wasn't very good with conversations with strangers. The boy was slightly familiar to her, she had seen him in the joint class with the first years, but she had never talked to him before, but then she hadn't really talked to many of her fellow cadets.

.:Birthplace:.
The ark
.:Family:.
Mum- Georgia Carmichael (Deceased). Dad- Thomas Carmichael (Deceased).
.:Occupation:.
Guard
.:History:. Her family life was hard, as he parents fought all the time when she was a small kid, as her dad had to work all the time as an engineer, and her mother was a farmer.
Her childhood at school was rather easy, as she was very smart when it came to school, but she hardly had any friends, only one best friend, Benny. They did everything together, and he was like a brother to her, until he got accused of stealing some tools from the engineering department and was floated, at age 20. She coped well enough, but kept her mind on her training and job as guard, pushing herself into her physical training. Her parents both got sick when she was 17, and both died of the flu, within 2 days of each other. For days she wouldn't go into her room because she was afraid of being alone. After Benny died she didn't make many friends, and no one seemed to try to make friends with her either, so she spent her free time reading, which she had always been interested in.
Her scars had come when she had turned 21, and a boy had attacked her with a knife, after she wouldn't go out with him. She hadn't reported the attack to anyone to this day. She is still haunted by him, as he had come down to the ground safely.
When she was 22 she accidentally got shot in the leg, and they had to amputate it as it shattered the bone, and she has had a prosthetic ever since.
She came down to the ground when the ark went down.
