He knew it was terrible, and he was bound to get in a heap of trouble, but the boy couldn't help it. It was a saterday, so he took on double shifts - only to have a few parties come in at the last few minutes. He and the other busboy had been there for hours, cleaning tables, dishes and some shattered glass thanks to children. Not only that, but they also had to take down all teh decorations, balloons, put away or toss out the food and properly lock up the freezer. It was around midnight by the time they finished up, and took an extra hour to lock everything up, double check and finally toss all the trash, sweep the front and head home.
Walking down the street towards the school gates, the boy untied his small waist apron and tossed it over his shoulder, rubbing at his aching neck. His hair was tightly tied up in a small pony, he could feel the sweat on his skin chilled by the night air, thanks to the hair being up. Shuddering, he quickly tried to head back before someone saw him; in his uniform. It was obviously not casual wear, the white button up with too neatly rolled up sleeves and black slacks. The gates weren't too far.. he should be able to make it. At least, he hoped. "..Hate weekends..". He whispered this to himself, a low groan. [/style] |

Although it was Saturday, he didn't expect much trouble, besides perhaps a few students returning a bit late, which he already had; it had just been a few minutes. One was an hour or so after curfew, drunk, and looking for a fight. Obviously, he was given detention. And he threw up, luckily missing Peregrine's shoes, if only by a small amount.
He sat against the gate with a cigarette between his fingers, not really smoking it at the time. He just liked having it there, just in case he needed a drag. Just in case... But he was alright right now, for now. He missed Charlie.. He wanted to see him. What if he got hurt? He wouldn't be there. It was a step for him to let him go out over night with friends; both of them had known it. Now all he could do was worry about whether he was okay. He took a drag, then paused as he saw movement; a boy was approaching.. What time was it? He frowned and checked his watch. Way after curfew. But the kid wasn't walking oddly, drunk or otherwise.
He stepped out his cigarette, leaning his back against the gate and eying the approaching form until he was close enough to hear without Peregrine having to yell at him. He took his flashlight from his belt and clicked it onto the form. "Do you have any idea what time it is?" He questioned, eyebrow cocking upward. It was very, very late, is what the problem was, not the time itself.[/style] [STYLE=font-size:10px; padding-left: 12px; font-weight: bold]words: 285 tags: dustin notes: c: credit: template made by oxymoron! of btn[/style] | [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=valign, top][atrb=style, width:400px, bTable][style=text-align:center;width:100px; font-family:courier new; font-size:10px; line-height:13px; border: 2px #FF9933 solid; width: 100px; height: 100px;][/style]

The moment that light flicked up, Dustin lost all control over his calm manner. A loud yelp was heard, almost a squeal as the child stumbled back. His hand shot out and gripped the gate to keep from falling, but just barely. Gripping it to stay standing, he looked at the officer with shock. What was someone doing out this late?!
Like he was one to say that..
Frowning gently, Dustin looked away from the bright light, covering his face with one of his hands. Fuck. He had to think quick. Panic started to rise up in the boy's chest, but it didn't stay too long - because he said the first thing - most moronic sadly - that came to mind. "Do YOU? S-Shouldn't you be off duty?". He sighed.. and stood up straight, brushing off his slightly dirty hands before squinting his eyes to see past the light. Oh, he knew this man. He was rather kind.. but usually was serious. Damn. "I ran out to get a snack - study night.. sorry. The line was really long! I got.. distracted in the story too.. ". Stepping towards the gate, eh tried to inch around him, awkwardly. "Sorry..w..won't happen again!". [/style] |

Was the kid holding a puppy, too? But, no, there was no puppy in sight, which meant it had to be the kid that had made the noise. He supposed it wasn't the strangest thing he'd heard, but it was one of them, certainly. He couldn't help a small grin from tugging at his lips.
That smile increased ten-fold when the boy snapped back with his .. less than thought-out response. Peregrine let out a light chuckle. "I do. I have a watch, see. I took an extra shift. And if I hadn't, you'd still have an officer to deal with." He raised an eyebrow as he looked at him. What was he doing out so late..? The explanation that he offered was.. odd. Why go out into the city for a snack, when there was a kitchen on campus he could illegally raid? Not that he was encouraging such a thing.. It just made more sense than going through the trouble of going off campus, with guards around.
"The kitchen's food not to your liking?" He thanked god, at least, that this kid spoke English. At least he didn't have to take much time to figure out what he said to him, and how to respond. "Don't run off so soon, Mister Wood." He hated to get the kid in trouble; he didn't look intoxicated or anything, but it was against the rules, snack or not.[/style] [STYLE=font-size:10px; padding-left: 12px; font-weight: bold]words: --- tags: dustin notes: c: credit: template made by oxymoron! of btn[/style] | [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=valign, top][atrb=style, width:400px, bTable][style=text-align:center;width:100px; font-family:courier new; font-size:10px; line-height:13px; border: 2px #FF9933 solid; width: 100px; height: 100px;][/style]

Staring at the man for a moment, Dustin shifted his eyes away and stopped walking. Swallowing hard.. he let out a slow breath. "How do you know my name?" He spoke this so softly, tightly gripping inside of his elbow as he bit his lower lip roughly. He was anxious, but tried not to show it. Looking at the man now, he wore a curious, stubborn look..and..frightened. Very frightened. "'m Not doing anything bad sir..please.. I just .. wanted a snack! They didn't have the candy I usually eat a-and I use it for studying and.."
He hushed for a moment and now was hugging himself around the waist tightly, his eyes closed. He didn't like this situation, he didn't like it as all. "Please don't get me in trouble sir, I just want to go back to studying! I won't.. I won't sneak out to get a snack again.." His voice was trembling - he didn't even realize they were speaking English till he thought about it, then paused, eyeing him. "You are.. From the west sir? or..north?" There was a lisp, it didn't seem american.. he was subtly changing the subject.[/style]

"You've been in a couple of fights, haven't you? I know your name from those, that's all." Why was he so upset..? Or, frightened? Perhaps.. He was speaking quickly and stuttering, and he sounded nervous and frightened, and Peregrine felt guilt grip his chest tightly. He hadn't meant to terrify the kid..
He watched as the child held himself around the waist and resisted the urge to just hug him. Poor thing may just break if he did. He was small, frail, terrified.. like a bunny. A really, really scared bunny, and Peregrine did not want a scared bunny right now. He'd prefer to get someone that was drunk and irritated, so he could just handcuff them, give them their punishment, and be done with it. "Scotland.." He muttered. "You.. can calm down; you're not in too much trouble. I'll need to give you a detention; that's all. Are you okay?"[/style] [STYLE=font-size:10px; padding-left: 12px; font-weight: bold]words: 169 tags: dustin notes: :c credit: template made by oxymoron! of btn[/style] | [atrb=border,0,true][atrb=valign, top][atrb=style, width:400px, bTable][style=text-align:center;width:100px; font-family:courier new; font-size:10px; line-height:13px; border: 2px #FF9933 solid; width: 100px; height: 100px;][/style]

Fuck. Well there really wasn't much Dustin could do about that - Because well, he always got in fights. People just didn't like his face or something, he honestly didn't know. Either way, he sighed, keeping his arms tightly around himself. Of course he was terrified, he could get kicked ou- .. oh no. Staring at the man, the boy gasped silently.. softly shaking his head. "N..no! If I get in trouble, I could lose my scholarship!"
The boy paled at this fact.. then tightly closed his eyes, quickly shaking his head again. ".Please sir! Do not give me detention, I will do anything! ..I-I'm begging you.." This was all spoken weakly while his head was bowed, the hair falling in his face to hide the troubled expression. "Please sir.. a-anything, don't get me in trouble! I need my scholarship!" His voice was trembling.. the waist apron that was on his shoulders not clenching in his hands that held himself. He was shaking - upset..frightened. He felt sick suddenly. Why .. why did he always have to get in trouble?![/style]
