The Gym- Sunday Night

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Edward Hyde was working on a punching bag, and destroying it in the process. Hey, it was the punching bag's fault that it wasn't made of sterner stuff.
Maybe someone else around here was. Hyde was eager to crush some superpowers.

[ooc: The Gym of course this didn't just say "The Salle" a minute ago. Your eyes must be playing tricks on you is open, and Edward's looking for a fight.]

Oh. Well, how did he expect her to remember that under such duress?

That was it, she couldn't just stand there and let him eat her or something! Annette suddenly pointed over his shoulder, eyes wide, "Oh my god! What is that?!" Then she dropped to her hands and knees quickly and went to crawl through his spread legs.

Who did she think she was fooling?! That particular trick was the refuge of those with no other option. If there had been anything behind him, she would never have pointed it out. She wanted to surprise him, then? Well, Edward had one for her. When she tried to crawl away-
-he sat down. He was careful not to crush her, but still, the experience couldn't have been pleasant.

...and he sat down right on her ass, forcing her flat to the floor, arms, legs, hands, splayed outwards as her chin bounced a bit on the hard gym floor.

Annette blinked. Tried to think for a moment how in the heck that little trick of hers didn't work. She came up with nothing conclusive other than he might not be as ignorant as she had at first thought.

"Uhhh, guy on top of me? If you haven't noticed yet, I'm kind of smaller than you? And a girl. I'm practically defensless here."

Haha. An appeal to morals? Boy did she peg him wrong. "Of course you are. Now, unless you're as stupid as you look, you'll realize that that puts you at something of a disadvantage. Are you going to tell me what that device was, or should I just sit back and put my weight down?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Gah.. Stupid? How dare he abuse her and call her names!

Annette wrinkled her nose. She didn't really like having a stinky sweating rear-end holding her to the floor. And he wasn't even using all of his weight?

She caved. "It was a camera...geeze."

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

It hadn't looked like any camera he'd ever seen, but it was probably another futuristic version. Edward wasn't going to ask about that and reveal his ignorance. There was, however, one more question. "Why did you want a photograph of me?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette face palmed. "It's not obvious?"

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Though Edward bristled at the lack of respect, the answer itself seemed safe enough. He stood up.

After he lifted himself up and off her, Annette slowly turned over on her back and looked up at him, even as she scooted back, coming up slowly to her feet.

"What? I'm free to go now?"

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Edward shrugged. "You answered my question."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"That's it? All this macho manly stuff and that was it?" She gave him a look. "What's your name?"

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Edward raised a huge fist. "If you're dissapointed, I could hit you anyway." He grinned. He was totally serious.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She gasped and backed up, almost falling backwards. "You would not! I'm a girl! That's it! What's your name? I'm reporting you to the office!"

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Edward chuckled, and gave a bow. "Edward Hyde, pleasure to meet you, Miss...?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Edward Hyde. What kind of name is Edward Hyde for such a beast like yourself? And I'm Annette Hargrove, but I am not sure if it is a pleasure yet."

The bow was gentlemanly. She did have to admit.

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Ah, so it was the same girl Henry'd met on the roof the other night. Things were actually looking like they could be fun.
"Well, Annette, it has been something of an exciting episode meeting you, but you do plan to tell the school authorities. At this moment I should make good my escape, oughtn't I?" He headed for the door.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "Yes, you should. Escape. Run even, and I might think about going to the school authorities."

Edward just laughed as he left, never breaking into anything faster than a stroll.
