I'm hella behind too.
slackers unite!
I took the girl to the room my father used to practice on his patients. I laid her on the bed, my eyes full of worry as I studied her. It wasn't deep, no. None of the cuts were too deep, but I could see the fright on her face. "It's okay," I told her softly, taking her hand. I could feel her trembling. "What did you bring into my house?" My father moaned, running a hand over his head. "Is this a Rebel? Only Rebels get hurt like this..." I shot the man a look. "She was jumped. Just help her." My father, sighing, went to work. He cleaned her cuts and rubbed on a salve that would take the sting from her wounds as well as quicken the healing process. In the morning there would be no physical evidence besides her blood on her clothes and small, lingering scars.
I pulled off my gloves, stuffing them in my bag. My eyes went from the scrapes on his arms he seemed to pay no mind to the board a few feet from us. "Wow," I breathed, airy. I didn't mean to sound so much like I was in a dream, but could you imagine? Almost like flying... I looked over my shoulder, quickly finding my mother. In a moment she would realize that I was gone. I finally looked back at the boy, taking in his features. Was it he or the fall that caused them to stop slithering in my skull? "Will you take me for a ride?"

Okay~!

School is pretty much the same for me. :(
Except for I'm very behind on homework... and it's only the third or fourth week in.
I suck at doing my homework and getting it turned in on time.

I stiffened a little as he told me it was okay in a rush before pulling out a knife, which, admittedly, made me flinch a little. When he cut the bindings, I relaxed on a little before stiffening again as he scooped me up and told me where he was going to take me. The part about his father being a doctor was a little comforting, though, honestly. When he carried me out of the alleyway and down the street to a driveway, I held onto him tighter and closed my eyes, letting him carry me into a house, the sound of a second pair of footfalls sounding alongside his after a little more walking. I was still shaking like a leaf.
When I caught sight of her ripped gloves, I bit my lip then opened my mouth to apologize again. That is, until she spoke, stating she was wonderful and then asking if riding my hoverboard was fun. "Oh. Uhm." I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly as I straightened up a little and then pulled my board closer to my side. "Yeah, I guess you could say that it's fun... not many people like to board, though. Most think it's too dangerous." I shrugged, looking up at her and studying her for a moment. What was a pristine girl like herself doing out here with all the riff raff?

"That's okay, that's okay," I told her in a rush. Hell, what did I do? I took a pocket knife out of my pocket, sawing off the ropes around her ankles. "I'm gonna take you home, okay? My father's a doctor." I picked her up, trying my best to be gentle as I walked out the alleyway. My home wasn't too far from where we were, as terrible as it was. She was striking so close to home. I walked quickly, the girl being nothing difficult but still slowing my fast pace the slightest bit. This was the first time I've ever been relieved to be in the driveway to my home. I kicked the door with my foot, waiting for my father to open the door before hurrying inside.
My gloved hands caught myself, shredding the fabric but harming me none. I grinned at the boy, shaking my head. I crawled over to him. I couldn't help a giggle that bubbled out of my mouth. Gosh, what a thrill. I helped him sit up, brushing the dirt of his shirt. "I'm wonderful. Tell me, is that fun?" I pointed to the board, eyes wide with curiosity.

My eyes were wide as the footsteps came nearer and I struggled with the ropes around my ankles from the trap, flinching when the person crouched down by me and drew me into his arms. When he asked what happened to me my mind rushed back to the present time, my whole being quivering at this point. "I... I..." I couldn't even formulate words, I was too shaken up.
I opened my mouth to warn a girl I was headed her way a second too late. When I knocked into her hip my board went berserk and I list control of it, falling on my back as it flew out from under my feet and hit a building nearby before shutting off. I groaned in pain and struggled to sit up as I looked over at the girl I'd knocked over. "I'm so sorry, ma'am... are you alright?"
No worries, man.
All my responses are pretty short.
Oliver
I had been walking home with a hand in my coat pocket, fingers tracing the pages of an old book I found hidden deep in the shelves of a bookstore. They must have forgotten it. And, well, I may or may have not stolen it. A piercing scream shocked me and the cruel, metallic stench of blood followed. My feet carried me quickly, eyes wide. Was this another doing of the White Rabbit? Hell, what was I doing following trouble? A small figure laid in the alleyway and I swore softly, rushing to the girl. "Hey, hey, hey," I murmured quietly, bringing her into my arms. "What happened to you?" Her cheeks were bloody. I could see nicks here and there on her skin, blood rushing to the surface. I wasn't sure if there was anything too terrible, but god. She mustn't feel too well. Obviously, Oliver, you idiot.
Darla
Mother wanted us to walk everywhere. I glanced over at the woman, her arm linked with my father's. She was all a show. When her eyes were turned, I slipped away, letting myself get lost in the crowd of people. I spied my mother, not yet noticing my disappearance as she and Father went to meet a client of Father's. Before I could comprehend, I soft buzzing sound met my ears, followed by the shouts and warnings of a boy. The board nicked my hip, sending me on my bum, and the board the lad was riding on going crazy. Oops.
AH I'm not the best at responding, apologies!
@squid-vicious
~ Gray. I turned onto the mostly empty street, humming faintly to myself and looking down at the ground. My hands found their way into my pockets as I let out a soft sigh and chewed my lip. The latest White Rabbit postings had really begun to unnerve me. I hadn't been in any of them, but something told me my time would be soon and that made me afraid. Turning into the alleyway I usually took to get home, I sighed and walked past a dumpster when all of a sudden my legs were caught up in some sort of trap. I gasped as I fell to the ground, my hands catching me before my face hit the concrete. When I heard the sound of soft laughter my eyes widened and I scrambled, trying to get the knots when a knife came up to my throat from behind and a hand clamped down over my mouth. Out of instinct I bit down, feeling it slide away as the person cried out in pain and I let out a scream for help, loud enough to wake the dead. The knife dug into my skin as the soft voice of a girl sounded in my left ear. /"Struggle all you want, sweetheart... they won't get here in time..."/ I grit my teeth and threw all of my body weight to the side, sending the blonde-haired girl sprawling over me, her rabbit mask falling back. My eyes widened and I started shaking, trying to push her off of me when all of a sudden I heard footsteps and felt her weight come off of me in an instant. She disappeared into the shadows and I sat up, tears of fear streaming down my face and the cuts on my cheek stinging.
~ Jude. I looked to my left and then my right as I exited the music store, searching for any sign of peace guards. When I didn't see any law enforcement, I smirked and set my board on the ground, kicking at the switch at the front and stepping on as it began hovering. Ignoring the looks of people around me, I kicked off the cement and started swerving around pedestrians, going about ten or twelve miles per hour. "Out of my way! Coming through! Pardon me!" I shouted, grinning as I watched people run away with their grocery bags and their kids attached to their arms and hands. I liked to pride myself on being an exciting person in a dull place if nothing else.

There you go!
My responses are probably going to be pretty small after this one, though. Just a heads up. xD
