Benji's meeting with Percy hadn't done him any favors. He spend the nights up, mostly with nightmares. They were the worst kind of nightmares, the ones you can see being real, when you try and shout for help you have no voice, no one can hear you. No one is there to help. With the nights like those, it was only surprising that Benji spent the days trying to catch up on his sleep. He slept better in the day, with the sun shining in his room. He didn't know why, but he didn't question it.
With the last few days a blur, Benji had found himself skipping classes, tumbling back in a downward spiral to the person he had been back in High School. He was snappy, rude and a horrible person to be around. The difference was, he knew he was doing it and no matter how hard he tried to stop, he just couldn't.
He had found himself with a real problem, though. He had one week to complete a music tech project before it needed to be handed in. It made up twenty percent of his overall grade and if it wasn't handed in on time, it wasn't graded and he couldn't afford to lose out.
Stumbling slightly he had made his way to the computer room - he found he was always too distracted on his laptop - settled himself down and began to type up some load of crap about 'pop music' back in the thirties, to how it was now. He had never wanted to kill Justin Bieber more in his life.
As he started a new paragraph a girl walked in and sat down right next to him. He didn't think she had even noticed him there...another blow to his deflating ego. He shook his head and tried to get back to his work when he realized she had started playing music. He frowned for a moment, but no in anger, he was trying to work out what song it was.
Oh god he knew this!
Come on!!
With a sigh he turned to face her, waving his hand in the general direction of the speakers. Hey, what's this song called? I know I know it, I just can't think of the name he asked her, tapping out the tune on the plastic table.

Sybil jumped when she heard the boy ask her what she was listening to. She'd kind of gotten into a bit of a zone there, which usually happened when she was reading the things she usually read while browsing around the web. Had the guy been there the whole time and she just didn't notice? Wow.....sometimes she was so bad at paying attention to her surroundings.
She glanced up at him and smiled softly, shrugging. "I uh..." She glanced at the song title just to double check. She didn't want to give him any wrong information, "Oh. Right. Duh. That's right. It's Forbidden Zone by Oingo Boingo...if I remember correctly, they used the tune as a cartoon theme...you could be recognizing it from that."
Sybil felt a little bad for asking her next question. "Hey, have you been there the whole time? I feel bad for not noticing." She laughed softly, shaking her head. "Sometimes my brain likes to just focus on one thing and forget everything else exists.....I'm Sybil." She decided introducing herself was necessary. She wasn't sure if she'd even seen the guy around before now. Maybe she had, and just didn't recognize him right off...that happened to her every once and a while.

Benji groaned when he heard the name of the song. Of course it is! he said, shaking his head, still in disbelief that he couldn't remember it. He leant back in his chair and looked at his screen for a moment, a blank expression on his face when he realized she was talking to him again.
That's totally alright, he said with a smile, nodding his head as a 'hello'. I'm Benji, he added, spinning in the chair so he was able to face her and his work at the same time.
Doin' much? he asked, nodding to her computer screen with interest. He doubted their conversation was going to last long, Benji had found more and more people avoiding him after what Simon had said about him in that gossip thread.
Urgh, Simon. The worst kind of human. But he was always sickly sweet the right people and always kept his cool. Which was more than could be said for Benji.

Sybil shrugged softly when he realized what the song was, laughing a little. "Hey, knowing bands like that is my job....." She nodded, "It's nice to meet you, Benji." Benji. That was a name she felt like she'd heard before. She wasn't much for keeping up on all the drama that seemed to happen around here, though, so she wasn't sure how it would be familiar. Probably, they'd said a couple of things to each other online. That had to be the only answer.
"I dunno....I actually don't have work to do, if you can believe that." She shook her head. "My grandparents are gone....and I'm sick of being all alone and paranoid....needed to be around people." She nodded towards his computer, deciding she should return the question. "What about you? Hopefully you have a better reason than me."
This was nice. She hadn't had someone to talk to in a while...and talking online wasn't really the same as talking face to face. She'd been thinking about throwing a Halloween themed party to kill the silence, but she wasn't sure if people would be all that up for having a party after all that seemed to be going on.
