"I know, I'm sorry," muttered the young teen, carefully weaving through the carnival crowd though his brown eyes were focused on his feet. He paused a few more moments, listening to the further complains on the other line of his mobile before sighing and tugging his cap downwards more. "Liz, he's my roommate. And a psychopath. What am I supposed to do?"

A hard grimace set itself into place at his girlfriend's clearly-annoyed voice. It would be obvious to anyone that being called up out of the blue by a complete stranger had irritated Lizzie Walker, and--as always--Uoko's was the first ear she turned to for comfort.

Not that the boy was being particularly sympathetic. Though why should he be? He hadn't heard from the girl since his arrival on Wake Island, and their relationship had already seemed doomed for destruction in the weeks before that.

Still, he allowed the brunette to say what she will about Chester Byrd, only objecting mentally. Near the end of the girl's rant, Uo was beginning to drift, but bounced back at the sound of his dormmate's name.

"Yes," the blonde murmured, finding a fairly crowd-free zone to continue the conversation in peace. "Yeah, sure, he's an imbecile. Mmhm. No, I heard you." It went on like that a few more minutes, the Japanese boy becoming increasingly exasperated with Lizzie until finally the brunette said she had to go.

"Okay." A pause, in which both parties were silent, then an awkward, "Uh, I guess I'll call you, um...later? Bye."

Finally, the blonde snapped the phone shut, exhaling deeply before glanced around. He blinked, mildly surprised as he took in the surroundings; he hadn't though he'd come that far...

Uoko sighed, tapping the cell repeatedly against his forehead before flicking his gaze up and seeing a familiar face. Despite the probability of the older teen having seen or heard him being low, he still flushed with embarrassment. "Uh...H-hey, um...Chester."[/ul][/size]

Like his promise to himself when the fair started, he would begin walking more. Save his formerly used taxi money for blowing on greasy fair food and rather not-so-exhilerating rides. But he would have fun doing it, and that was the only thing completely and totally mattered to him.

Like the other days he had been here, he bounced from group to group. Rode a few rides here, ate there, walked through the tents and stands by himself. He never seemed to come with one person, and it was rare that he actually found people he considered to be friends. But then again, with his pranks, that was to be expected. There were few who could actually put up with him.

Much to his surprise (and delight), he spotted his dormmate, Uoko. He grinned and trotted up to the other boy, standing in front of him. Uo was just getting off of his cellphone when Chester arrived, so he had not overheard anything. But due to them not having spoken since he had pulled the stunt on calling Uo's girlfriend, it was the first thing that came to his mind for discussion.

"Have you spoken to your girlfriend yet?" he asked innocently. "I figured she would have called you by now, she seemed to miss you so much. But, then again, she could've been lying last time I spoke to her... hm." He trailed off, shaking his head as if in disgust.

The blonde wrinkled his nose, watching the other teen through narrow, suspicious eyes. After a moment, he sighed, shaking his head with exasperation. "You got me in trouble," Uoko mumbled reproachfully, eyes flicking to his phone before sliding back up to Chester. God, he was tall; a full eight inches above the freshman.

Uoko crossed his arms to stop the fidgety feeling he usually got around his roommate. With Chester, you never knew what was going to happen next. A lesson Uo had finally learned.

"Um. So you're at the fair," he pointed out, brown eyes scanning the brunette. He wasn't exactly surprised; a mental image of Chester running around like an insane person, screaming with delight at the top of his lungs and arms in the air came to mind, causing the edges of Uoko's mouth to twitch upwards in a half-smile.[/ul][/size]
