Operation Unite The Beasts.

Birth months, Picnics and Mates

   ~Ariana's POV~
After two hours or so in the gym, with the door shut this time, I headed back to my room to take a shower, once I was out, I threw on an oversized shirt and jean shorts before heading down to the ground floor with my back pack, it'd been two days since the day I was in Jay's office and four since I'd moved here, the past two days had been quite busy for me, leaving early for school and coming in late, I hadn't really had time to hang out much or actually work on my reason for being here, I didn't have a class today but I had a heap of school work, a project and a presentation to work on, my hands were currently full and I was really stressed out.

Getting there, I headed to the kitchen, making a quick fruit salad, once I was done with that, I took it with me to the huge living room, currently occupied by Grey, Cain, Talon, a guy I now knew as Luca, Kayla and Leo, I sighed plopping down on a couch and I could see them laughing at my expense as I pulled out my laptop and school materials, I threw them a dirty look before powering my laptop and trying to get some work done. 

I ate slowly as I researched on my project for my psychology class,  I made short notes with my glitter pens, after getting some pointers, I moved to my Microsoft word and began typing, discussing the topic from my point of view as the question requested, looking up I turned to Leo,

"when I'm done with this can you please get it printed for me, I obviously didn't move my printer and I wanna conclude it today, they're all due in a week time but I need a lot of time to work on my presentation, so I really want to get most of this done early." I said, Leo nodded, giving me a sympathetic look,

"of course.", he replied,

"is there anything I can help you with?" Talon asked and I smiled nodding,

"I already finished the one for chemistry 101 but I haven't typed it yet." I said, he nodded standing up,

"I'll go get my laptop." he said and left, I went back to what I was doing, when he got back, I patted the spot beside me and he sat as I handed him my work,

"it's already edited so just type it as it is, the required font is written there, any confusions, just ask." I said with a grateful smile, he smiled back taking the notes and starting work.

I went back to my work while Kay considerately turned down the volume of the TV a bit, she tended to act cold and aloof with everyone but Jay, however she couldn't cover up little unconscious acts like this that showed she cared, we hadn't really talked much but we had something akin to a silent understanding now and perhaps a budding friendship, tuning everyone out, I focused on my work so I didn't waste too much time on it, I didn't notice Jaylen's entrance till I felt hands lightly massaging my shoulders, I looked up at him and smiled,

"you seem really stressed." he assessed worriedly and I shrugged,

"I don't like it." he complained and I laughed softly,

"don't worry Jay, I can handle it." I assured him, he sighed but didn't move, continuing his work on my shoulders and I closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling, he was good with his hands.

"You like?" He asked,

"uh-huh." was my brilliant reply and he chuckled, adding a bit more pressure, I sighed in bliss, before patting the space on my other side and gesturing for him to seat, he did as I asked and I adjusted my position so my back was leaning up against his chest and my feet were on Talons lap, behind his laptop, he gave me a small smile before going back to what he was doing and I did the same, adjusting my laptop on my lap and continuing my work.

I didn't know how long we stayed like that, Talon had finished a while ago and moved his laptop aside, positioning my feet properly on his lap and rubbing softly, I had also long concluded psychology and switched to the next work twice, I was on my final paper now, it had taken the longest time and I was about concluding it when a loud excited shout shocked me out of my concentration,
