Smooth Relaxation

[Alex Ventresca]

Alex laid on a rock that was near the waterfall. The trickle of the water dripping on the rocks made a rhythmic pattern that made him calm. His mind drifted to the only time he was calm, and that was reading. Alex had the fear of combat with a Prefect, but nevertheless, he had his guard down just for a moment. Alex sighed deeply, and smiled. He was very peaceful, that is until he drifted asleep.
After a half hour, he heard footsteps, and sat up alert. His eyes turned a bright blue, in case it was a Prefect, or something else

Suki meandered through the trees, swerving past bracken and loose branches. The sound of a nearby waterfall echoed into the distance, drowning out the soft tune of the birds. After a few minutes, Suki reached her destination. Although, the moment she entered the clearing, she noticed something. A boy, perched on a few rocks. He was staring straight at her with his bright blue eyes. Adjusting the bag upon her shoulder, Suki took a step forward.

"Um...Sorry. I didn't know you were here." Her voice shook a bit as she spoke, though she did her best to keep it steady. At this point, Suki didn't know if she should leave or not.

[Alex Ventresca]

Steven's eyes turned back to a cloudy blue. "Its ok. Nobody really knows that I exist anyways" He slid down and walked over to her. He extended his hand and smiled. "The name's Steven. What's yours?" He uncovered his hood and revealed his face, shadowed at first. I hope she isn't a Prefect. Those snotty bastards Steven thought. "If you want, you could stay. I honestly don't really mind, just as long as you don't attempt to murder me." Steven then pulled back his hand, sheepishly, and looked down. He then went back to the same rock and closed his eyes, which were slowly turning into an electric blue. He had his hood up, so his face was dark. Steven then proceded to meditate to clear his mind and soul.

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Steven. My name is Suki." The girl stuttered a bit, though she kept her composure. Not wanting to disturb the boy anymore, Suki slipped over to the nearest rock, and set her bag on the ground. She then sat beside her bag, and yanked out her sketchbook and pencil. Opening to a fresh page, she took a moment to think of what to draw. After a few minutes, she drew a circle, the beginning of the head of a sparrow.

The deep crashing of the waterfall and the gentle breeze calmed Suki. There was a slight scent of cherry blossoms and moss, a scent in which was very soothing. Not even half way done with her picture, Suki placed her sketchbook after to the side and leaned against the rock. She took a whiff of the heavenly aroma, and relaxed as she gazed at the scenery around her. For a brief moment, she forgot that Steven was even there.

[Alex Ventresca]

"So you're an artist? That's pretty cool." Steven eventually opened his eyes, though it wasn't clear if he had or not. He then walked over to her. Steven, being the curious man he is, picked up her sketchbook and looked at the sparrow. "Your a pretty good artist." He flipped through some pages, admiring her drawings. "One day, you might have your artwork displayed at art museums around the world!"

Then he heard a slight rustle in the bushes behind him. Steven turned around his eyes staring into that direction. Finally, a bunny came out and tilted its head towards him. The bunny then hopped over to them and sat there. Seeing as it was no harm, Steven relaxed. "Doesn't this place feel, soothing? Its like a world without Prefects, but better." He sighed at the thought of that.

[aichan]

Obviously, this boy was a Battle Front member, and wasn't afraid to show it. Luckily for him, Suki wasn't a Prefect. Eying the rabbit, Suki smiled. "I suppose it is. I sort of just avoid the whole war altogether." She answered. Suki felt safe with Steven, and that she could share her opinions with him. Everything about the moment seemed so relaxing and peaceful. For some reason, when Suki thought of leaving, she had to quickly think of something else, for she felt so bad.

"Want to see something cool?" Suki quickly got to her feet, abandoning her gaze from the bunny. She flipped the pages of the sketchbook until she found the drawing of the squirrel. She then placed her hand on the sketch, relaxed, and released. When she backed away, there was a thin squirrel, leaping from the book and onto the grass. The page was now blank.

[Alex Ventresca]

Steven nodded. "That's a wise decision, but don't let any Prefects hear that. They're way too strict to hear that. I can read minds, you know. I don't really want to invade your thoughts, so I won't." He shrugged, and watched the rabbit hop away.

"Sure I woul----" He was cut off when he saw the squirrel animate itself and come out of the page. "That was...... how the...... wasn't it?" Steven started mumbling random questions, until he finally said one audible queston: "Was it you who made that squirrel come to life?"

[aichan]

"Ya, I have to ability to bring drawing to life. It's not that great of a power, but it's fun to play around with." Suki explained to Steven. She was actually a bit shocked at what she was doing, for she had never become to close to someone so fast before. Still, she enjoyed his company.Gazing up at the sky, she watched as it turned from blue to pink. Suki could see thick clouds in the distance, the smell of rain wafting towards her. "We may want to leave soon." Suki pointed out.

[Alex Ventresca]

"That's pretty cool!" Steven usually didn't make friends this fast, but he had, and he did. As she said that, he looked up. That would be wise Steven's words echoed in her mind. If you can't tell already, I can read minds. That's about it. Not very good, I know

[coolfluffy]

An invisible girl had followed the older girl into the forest. Blue's interest had been spiked by this girl because she had a sketch pad too so of course Blue had turned herself invisible and followed the girl as quietly as possible. She might as well not have existed. Blue didn't always go stalker mode on people, but this time she felt like she needed to. She had followed the girl all the way to the waterfall where there was a boy already there. Blue wondered if they had planned this, but the way they interacted told her otherwise. It was most likely a coincidence that they had both ended up here at the same time.

When the two introduced themselves Blue took out her scratch pad and wrote down their names. They could have some valuable information that she might need later on. When Blue looked up again the two were already separated. She frowned. Blue had been hoping to get some useful information out of this. Then her hoped were risen again when the guy, Steven, went over and looked at her sketch pad.

Blue got clumsy and the bush rustled. She flipped trough her book as fast as she could and found a picture of a rabbit. She made it come to life and shooed to out of the bush so it looked like it was just the rabbit that had made te noise. Then Blue heard Steven's words. They were really rude. He was stereotyping right there. Not all perfects were mean, Blue was nice, but that made her kind of mad, but not enough to blow her cover.

Blue put a circle around Steven's name considering how he seemed to be a battlefront, but then she put a question mark beside the circle because she wasn't absolutely sure about that.When the girl, Suki, started talking again Blue pit a a line through her name. She was obviously not a battlefront. Then they said something about rain. Blue looked up and saw the sky slightly darkening. It was time to make her presence known.

Blue flipped her sketch book closed and stood up. She strode strait towards to two with confidence. "And what would make a world without perfects so good, Steven?" Blue asked as she let her invisibility fade away. She raised and Eyebrow as if expecting an answer. His words would confirm her suspisiousness of him being a battlefront then she could give the information to Jace or somebody and all would be well.

[Alex Ventresca]

Steven had felt a disturbance, but ignored it. Obviously, this was a mistake. "Ah I see you are a Perfect. A world without Perfects, means a world without hate." Damn it! How much did she hear? He looked at Suki and quickly bowed. "Since there's a Perfect here, that means I should make a run for it." Immediatly, he turned around and ran off deeper into the forest. "Nice move genius. Let the enemy know some intel." Steven muttered. This could be bad. Very bad. Steven stiopped to catch his breath and stretched his sensor lines. She most likely chasing him, so he kept running.

[coolfluffy]

Blue put her hands on her hips. Well that was rude. It wasn't like she was going to rip his head off and not all perfects were hate filled. Blue was kind of angry with that guy. He was more rude than she was and she was a perfect. Blue would make sure that she would remember to aviod him and his snotty ass in the future.

Blue debated running after him. She didn't really want to, but she realized that since she got to this school she hasn't been as active because she hasn't been involved in much sports, so of course she decided that she would run after him, but not on the ground.

Blue smiled at Suki and dipped her head. "I respect your chioce on the battle." Blue said simply and climbed up a tree. She instantly went invisible and jumped from branch to branch after the guy. Her invisiblity kind of flickered because she was concentrating so hard on not falling from the trees.

Finally Steven came into view. Blue got ready to drop down infront of him when he started running again. It wasn't that hard to keep up to him in all truthfulness though. Blue's foot suddenly slipped though. She crashed to the ground with a loud gasp. She hit the ground hard. Her parkour skills had just failed her.

Blue hadn't been all to conserned on chasing him so it wasn't a big let down if he got away, but falling from trees hurt, so she just kind of layed there for a while. Was she bleeding?

[Alex Ventresca]

(Hardcore Parkour XD)
Steven then heard a crash from somewhere behind him. Don't look back, don't look back He kept thinking that, but his kindness overtook him, and he jogged towards her. As he inspected her wounds, he noticed she was bleeding, and there were bruises starting to form. Dammit Steven. Can't do one thing right He then helped her up, and slung her arm around his shoulder. "Don't get any ideas. I'm only doing this to save your life. Nothing more, nothing less." He said. Then he began walking towards the clearing, and out of the forest.

He could feel the blood trickling down, and sped up. This reminded him from an old movie in which the protagonist helps a female in an attempt to save her life. At that thought, he sighed

[coolfluffy]

When Steven came back Blue smiled. He wasn't as bad as she had orriginaly thought, but he was still kind of rude. When he helped Blue up and put her arm around his shoulder she was really confused. Why was he doing this? Maybe he was just the kind of person who... "...I'm just doing this to save your life." Her thoughts about him being a nice person kind of faded. He was rude. Blue gave herself a little inspection. No broken bones, bleeding, a couple bruises, and a little bit of a smack to her pride for fallig out of a tree, but nothing serious. "Thanks, but you know, I wouldn't have died if you just left me there." Blue told him with a smirk. "I think you like me!"

Not like as in love, but like as in a friend to friend kind of way. She giggled a little bit and smiled up at him. Blue still had the drawing book in her hand. It wasn't like she was just going to give up all her valuable information. She might get praised for doing this. She wouldn't tell Jace on how she fell out of a tree and the guy helped her back to school, but she still had information on him being a battlefront. Maybe in the future he could help him in some way.

Blue was still thinking about what she could do in return for him when she realized that they were in the clearing with the waterfall in it. Blue waved at Suki and the looked down at her wounds, they were covered in dirt. So naturally she ran over to where the water was a began to wash them off. She knew that dirt in a wound wasn't a good thing, but that was all she knew about healing, so yes, she would have to go to the nurses office.

[Alex Ventresca]

Steven ignored her facial expressions, seeing as it was distracting. "And? If you did die out there, who would be at fault here? Me. Because there's always that one animal that sees everything. Not trying to be metaphorical here. And I don't like you. Not as a girlfriend, not as a friend."Steven then fell back when she ran towards the pool. He stood up and brushed off the dirt. "If I didn't know any better, I would think that you only followed me to be stalkerish and suck out some information. Then you would gain my friendship, and then we would date,only then would you let me tell you some things, and then break my heart in order to tell whoever is damned in charge around here." Steven had a firm look on his face, just in order to conceal his shattered mind to piece together why she exactly followed him. Was she a stalker, or a flying purple ninja? Or maybe a fish that eats grass. Either way, his mind was fried.
