Nate and Everett rock up to the meeting room, being the first to come, even before the group supervisor. The two sit down in their usual spots at the table, barely quiet for a second.
"Did we really have to come so early? Lynn isn't even here yet!" Everett complains, leaning back in his chair enough to lift the front legs off the ground. He balances easily but carefully.
"He said it was important we're not late, so it's better to come early." Nate bluntly replies, watching the door for the other group members. He bounces his leg subconsciously to keep himself more focused.
"It's only the third ever meeting! What could be so important?!" Everett continued complaining, pissed that they have to wait so long, and constantly checking the time.
"They should be coming soon. It's not half an hour before the fucking meeting now." The dickhead groans, looking directly at Nate with angry eyes. Nate doesn't respond to him, still just watching the door. Barely a minute passes and the third member shows up, Shiloh. He strolls in with a smile on his face, as always.
"Hey guys! I'm here!" He exclaims, even waving to add to the persona. He glances around to see if anyone else is there, but only finds Nate and Everett in his sight.
"Oh, where's Lynn?" He asks, walking over and sitting in a spot away from the duo.
"No clue." Everett shrugs, moving his chair back to lean it against the wall. "For something so apparently important," He continues, glaring at his friend, "He doesn't seem to care enough to be here on time."
"I'm sure he'll be here soon, probably before Bae!" Shiloh says with his usual peppiness. Everett opens his mouth to say something, likely a jab at either Shiloh or Bae, but he's cut off before he can make a sound.
"I'm afraid he's taking longer than that, dear." The unfortunately familiar voice fills the room. Bae walks in with the stance of a company CEO, taking his place next to the cheerful group member.
"Great going Shiloh, you summoned the demon." Everett comments, smirking, but annoyed. Bae gives a pointed smile to the blonde bitch, before turning to the rest of the table.
"I'm honestly curious to know what Lynn has for us today." The so-called demon comments, sitting still and mostly silent as they all wait.
"We're gonna have to wait an hour to find out at this rate. God, I've been here nearly an hour!" Everett once again complains, getting more and more impatient as the time goes on.
"God, shut up! Next time I'll leave without you so you can be late!" Nate basically yells. He glares at Everett with annoyance and disappointment. He groans, knowing there's no point in responding to the pissed off, pink haired fuck. Nate looks back to the door, then quickly stands up. The door opens and Nate quickly speaks.
"Finally!"

"Hello everyone! Sorry, I got a bit caught up!" Lynn rushes in quickly, in a professional and graceful way still. "I was just making sure our new member knew where to go!"
The four boys look at each other, sharing similar expressions of confusion and curiosity. They look back to the nurse after a second.
"Are you sure you were successful in that?" Nate asks, less annoyed now, but still enough to want to sunstable the supervisor.
"I think you looked away too quickly, twinkle." Bae inputs, grabbing Nate's attention as they all look to the door again. Pink and brown hair, altered female uniform, sharp grey eyes;
"..Hey?" and that rough, low voice. Banashi had been put into the group.
"Come take a seat please, I'll get you all to introduce yourselves to her," Lynn starts with a soft, sweet smile, "Whoever wants to go first, may. Please state your name, where you're from, how long you've been here and something interesting about yourself"
Banashi sits down, closer to Nate and Everett, as she's familiar with them. "I'll just go first. I'm Banashi Radnith, I come from Australia, but moved to this state here about a year ago. I came here around the start of the school year, and um," Banashi pauses for a second, struggling to find something to say about herself. "I know how to fight with a sword. Western Martial Arts or something. I don't remember exactly" Banashi leans her elbows on the table, linking her fingers together and resting her chin on top of her hands.
"How come it took the school nearly half a year to put you somewhere?" Everett asks, actually curious. Banashi gives a simple shrug
"Maybe they thought I'd work out in another at first, or they needed to trial me, or something. Idufugino." She looks over the four boys, two she knew, two she swears she's seen. She waves her hand out in a dismissive manner as she speaks again through the annoying silence. "Nate and Everett don't need to introduce themselves, I know all I need to know there." She looks pointedly at Shiloh and gestures her hand to him. "You, talk." Nate and Everett glance at each other for a moment. Blue eyes shrugs while pink boy just crosses his arms on the table.
"Oh, Okay!" Shiloh perks up in his usual manner, smiling brightly and already setting off red flags to Banashi. She hates overly sweet people, she can barely deal with Missy "I'm Shiloh Fields, I'm from Montana, though I haven't always lived there, I've been here since my second year of middle school, and I collect hats!" Shiloh speaks quickly, as if this had been scripted or something.
"Alright, cool. Now you." Banashi moves on quickly, looking to Bae across the table.
"Not very polite, are you ducky?" Bae slyly comments, making Banashi cringe, then continues, "But since you're soo curious, My name is Bae Pyoun, I came from Florida, I arrived last year in February, and everyone here adoores me." Bae manages a smirk through his whole little speech, gesturing slightly with his hands. "Now if I may ask, how do you know those two?" He then asks, referring to Nate and Everett.
"Oh yeah," Banashi starts, pointing to Nate first, "He caught me trying to skip class and ended up helping me later because he felt bad or something, and Everett scouted me out after finding out Nate had a friend other than him" The girl simply explains with a straight face. The two boys don't say anything more on the topic, so Lynn takes control of the situation again.
"Very well then. For the remainder of the meeting, you can all just talk with each other." The sweet nurse tells the group. Banashi fidgets with a pencil from her pocket under the table, trying to think of a conversation topic because she hates silence. Meanwhile, the boys do basically nothing to end the quiet. Everett swings on his chair, Nate silently stares at the table, bouncing his leg, Shiloh sits completely still, looking around with a small smile, and Bae quietly watches everyone else do what they're doing.

"Can we think of something to talk about sooner? I hate the silence." Banashi asks, muttering the last part in shame of the weakness.
"Sure!" Shiloh peps up, smiling wider again. Banashi rolls her eyes on the inside, while Everett makes his annoyance known by not hiding his eyes. "How about.. Our classes? How have you liked your classes so far?" Shiloh somehow manages to bring up the worst possible topic with the biggest smile and most excited voice imaginable. Banashi lets out a slight snicker, and Bae chimes into the conversation.
"That's a veery good question, I'm sure we all would just loove to know how each other feels about the school." The sarcasm was strong in his voice, but Shiloh is either stupid or deliberately oblivious, as he goes on anyway.
"I like all of my teachers, they're really nice, even the stricter ones. I'm doing okay in my classes overall, not perfect but still good!" Shiloh looks at everything but another member's eyes as he speaks, mindless looking.
"Honestly I'm sick of them all already. Some of the sports are okay, and the more creative subjects like art and english are fun, but the teachers all seem to just hate me. One of them keeps trying to send me to detention for my earrings." Banashi rants, seeing the opportunity to.
"You're only allowed to wear small stud earrings, or sleepers, what ones do you wear?" Lynn quickly interjects, looking to Banashi with a sweet but disappointed expression
"My ears aren't even fucking pierced, I literally can't wear earrings." The girl replies, moving her hair away to prove her point further. Lynn quiets down again after that, now looking a bit foolish, but also concerned, probably from knowing a staff member is being unfair.
"Well, I actually get along with most of the faculty." Bae starts, smirking with the pride of a lion. "Though, I wish some of them were more educated, I've had to correct quite a few of them already." He says with annoyance. Banashi snaps her fingers and points to him.
"That's why you looked familiar. You're the correction cunt." She says with a snark smile. Bae chuckles at her directness
"I suppose I am, sweet pea." He simply responds, smiling back at her.
"You really shouldn't disagree with the teachers like that, Bae." Nate inputs, glaring slightly at him.
"Like you're any better, you fight with them for the smallest things, like being a minute late or not checking homework." Everett explains, rolling his eyes again and staring at his friend with judgement.
"It's their duty to be on time and to check student's work!" The short tempered boy snaps back, turning his head to look at blue eyes.
"It's also their duty to know what they're teaching." Bae slides in with, keeping the smirk turned on his lips. Nate growls at the two disagreers, getting all worked up as usual. Inhaling deeply, Nate prepares to rip into the boys, but Banashi's voice cuts through first.
"Nate." She simply says, calm and collected. The pink eyed boy sighs, crossing his arms tighter and falling silent. "Yeah, thought so. You can do that later."
"How the fuck?" Everett exclaims, as if he's never seen someone shut Nate up.
"He knows I hate when someone yells, literally flinching at the noise, and I've learnt to just remind him when he's getting angry." The girl says, like it's the most normal thing ever.
"I think that's about enough, you can all leave now." Lynn butts in to say, dismissing the group before they kill each other.
"Good, I'm outta here!" Banashi says with an obviously put on smile. "See ya!" She fucks off and leaves, rushing out the door desperately. The rest of the boys say their goodbyes and shuffle on out. Lynn texts Banashi after the meeting.

Was the meeting okay? Not too much trouble? Will you be fine with them or will there be issues?

I'll be fine, they're not all badI will ask that you help keep things quietBut not too quietI hate it when it's silent and when it's loudDon't know whyAnd don't worry when I flinch at noises haha

Alright then, as you wish.
