Richard sighed as he made his way across campus, his backpack slung over his shoulder. He was wearing just a pair of jeans and sneakers with an olive green v-neck shirt that accentuated his broad shoulders. He was not ready for his math test tomorrow, so he was heading to the solitude of one of the picnic tables outside, hopefully he could get some studying done.
Nannett Knight trekked across campus slowly. Her eyes itched and she was sore all over from stress, everything about her seemed to droop. Even the small amount of hair that she still had to shave off again...or maybe she would let it grow back? She frowned before sinking against the trunk of one of the few trees in the courtyard. She sighed as she basked in the shade.

Syra sat perched on the top of a picnic table, her legs crossed and was holding her acoustic guitar in her hands, playing her own version of Demons by Imagine Dragons. Her head hung low, blue hair falling around her face with her eyes closed, slowly mouthing the words to herself, careful to keep her unlit cigarette in the corner of her mouth. She wore black skinny jeans, combat boots, and a loose black tank top that read: RUN LIKE THERE'S A HOT GUY IN FRONT OF YOU AND A CREEPY DUDE BEHIND YOU, in white letters.
Christian headed to the indoor pool with his hands in his pockets. He had been itching to go for a swim all day and was glad to finally get out for a while. He wore loose jeans, his usual black converse and a plain blue t-shirt, his normal grin on his face.

Richard looked around at the picnic tables before seeing a familiar face. "Hey! Syra!" He said with a plops used smile as he made his way up to the table she was at. " do you kind if I sit with you for a bit?" He asked, gesturing to the other half if the table.
Bunny sighed as she leaned her head back...maybe a swim would do her some good. It was kind of warm out today. Making up her mind that she was going to head to the pool for a bit to release some tension she quickly made her way to the locker room. While there she went to her gym locker and pulled out her bathing suit. She slipped into the black lacy one piece before grabbing a towel and heading to the pool area.
((If you go in Pinterest and type in bathing suits, you should be able to see what it looks like :3 it's like...the fourth one or something like that))

Syra opened her eyes and looked up at Richard, smiling back. "I don't mind at all. It's been a while since I've seen you big guy. What are you up to?" she set down her guitar and made a couple notes in a small leather back book that was always with her, a new tattoo of a tiger of her middle finger being highlighted in the sun. Christian quickly changed in the mens locker room then practically ran to the pool, grinning when he saw that no one else was there. He leapt onto one of the diving boards and jumped into the pool, slicing cleanly into the water. ((I see it, very cute  )) |

Richard smiled as he took a seat. "It has been a while huh? I'm just trying to study for a math test tomorrow, in so not ready for it." He said, rolling his eyes before grabbing the books from his bag and placing then on the table. " what about you? What have you been up to?" He asked as he grabbed a pencil to start writing down equations and such.
Bunny walked into the pool area right after Christian had jumped in, though she didn't realize anyone was in the water. She set her towel down on one if the benches before sitting down at the edge and dipping her feet into the water, trying to get used to the temperature. Her eyes were red and irritated, like they were most of the time now since her family left her, and the crescents from her nails in her hands were large and noticeable, she sighed as she splashed a little bit.
((Isn't it? It's my dream bathing suit, or one of the bikinis with the high high waists lines and the buttons...but only once I loose enough weight...but I figure someone might as well use it XD))

She wrinkled her nose when she heard him mention math. "Ugh, that sucks, I hate math so much. I hope you do good though." she closed her book and messed with her guitar, tuning it until it sounded right. "I haven't been up to much. Just practicing some guitar so I have more than one skill and I'm trying to kick the smoking habit, but it's not going all that well."
Christian surfaced a couple feet away from Bunny and shook out his hair, not noticing her until he turned to swim laps. He paused, cocking his head to the side then sunk under the water and swam over to her, popping his head up inches from her feet. "Hey Bunny." he said with a grin, but it quickly faded when he saw her red eyes.
((XD I like those kind too, but I never feel comfortable in bathing suits.))

Richard laughed. "Thanks, I'm going to need all the luck I can get." He grinned. He shrugged, "hey that's cool. You play pretty well. And I get the smoking thing is pretty hard. Have you ever tried just hooka? It may be easier to quit." He said with a thoughtful finger tap to his bottom lip.
Bunny jumped when Christian surfaced near her feet, squeaking and pulling her feet to her chest. She gasped, "Christian! It's been so long!" She laughed, one of her first laughs in a while. She smiled gently at him, "what are you doing here?"
(I hear ya, which is why I'm trying to loose as much weight as possible before going out and buying new cloths)

Syra tilted her head. "I've never tried hooka. I've heard of it, but my cousins aren't into it so I've never gone any to those hooka bars they have set up around here." she started strumming her guitar, playing a random tune. Christian half smiled, "I'm just swimming for the heck of it. I haven't been out in the water for awhile." he looked at her closely and decided to go along with the small talk. "It has been way too long, what are you doing here? I didn't know you liked to swim." (I'm trying but it's not really working out  ) |

Richard nodded. "Honestly, it's the only thing I smoke. I don't do it that often, but we should go sometime to one if the lounges. They are pretty chill." He said with a smile. "It still has tobacco in it so you would get your fix." He grinned. "And sometimes I bring homework if I have a lot to do, it's nice to just chill there." He said with a shrug as he wrote down a few problems from his text book. Bunny smiled softly, though it didn't meet her eyes completely. "I'm here because it's pretty hot out, and just to clear my head. I never used to go swimming that much in Maine because it's so cold, but here is much nicer." She smiled wistfully, looking out at the water. She sighed as she looked down at him. "Mind if I join you? Or should I leave you to your swimming?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. (I hear ya, I've been at it for a long time and I still don't feel a difference. It doesn't help that I fell out of working out the past week.  but yeah, I feel ya. ) |

Syra nodded curiously. "Alright, give me a time and I'll gladly go with ya. Maybe it'll give me some time to do homework," she laughed, "just kidding, I never do home work."
Christian held out his hand to her, "join me, the water feels great, plus it's nice to spend some time with someone rather than be by myself all the time."
(I don't work out, not enough time, though I do try to limit my portion sizes)

Richard smiled. "How about later tonight? I could use a break from studying." He said with a laugh. "I'll buy." She grinned, hoping she would say yes.
Bunny nodded and took his hand, before pushing herself off the tiles into the water. The water enveloped her and the cold made her squeak as she got used to it. "It's always nice being around other people, unless you like being alone." She made a thoughtful face, "I secretly think no one wants to be alone." She said.
( at least try to go on an eliptical for about 20 minutes a day. But you always have to start somewhere! :3)

Syra couldn't help but grin back and nodded, "Of course I will, it's always fun to hang out with you. Plus nothing beats getting away from school for a while." she lightly tapped her fingers against her guitar, trying to think of a good song to play.
Christian nodded, "I think so too, it gets kind of crazy in my head so I always need some kind of distraction away from my thoughts." he kept a gentle hold on her hand and started swimming backwards, tugging her with him. "Water isn't too bad, is it?"
(I would, but I don't have access to one)

]Richard felt his heart soar. "Awesome! I think around 9 or 9:30 tonight, they are open till 1 on weekdays and 4 on weekends, so we can stay for a while." He said with a smile. "And I'm glad you find my company interesting enough to like it. I enjoy your company too." He said with a little laugh.
Bunny nodded. "I never said it was bad." She followed after him, her hand still in his. "Unless it's trying to kill you...well...it doesn't really kill...but waves do...and so does drowning..." She said thoughtfully. "My dad always used to tell me that the big tsunami waves were just waves created by whales doing cannon balls with each other." She laughed before going quiet, thoughts of her family surfaced once again, making her fun gloomy.
(Yeah, the only reason I have access to one is because my residence hall has a small work out room in the basement. But when I go home there is nothing XD)

Syra smiled, "Sounds good and I'm glad you enjoy my company. You're a pretty chill dude Big Guy." she hummed a soft melody to herself and started strumming her guitar again.
He laughed softly, "That's an interesting idea." he let go of her hand and playfully swam in a circle around her. "You okay? You look kind of sad."
(we got nothing like that in my res hall -_- Or else I'd do that.)

Richard laughed. "Why thank you. I try my best." He smirked. He was quiet for a moment as he worked on his math, pausing on a problem to read it. He took in her unitary, "you're pretty good at that." He said, not taking his eyes off the paper.
Bunny took a deep breath. "I...my family. I told you about my mom right? She doesn't really care about me at all." She said with a sigh. She leaned back until she was floating and staring up at the lights shinning down in them.
(Yeah, if we didn't have that I would be doing it that much either, so I feel ya)

Syra smiled a bit shyly. "Thanks, I'm trying to expand my musical skills. The only other instrument I play is bass, and I damn well better be good at that after being in the band for so long."
Christian stayed by her and nodded, "Yeah, which sucks. Did something happen with your mom then?" he asked.

Richard nodded. "Well, you are very good." He grinned. "How long have you been trying guitar?" He asked, Turing to face her.
Bunny nodded, the water rippling around her face. "They left me here, going back to Maine." She took a Shakey breath. "They left me completely alone out here...and took everything away." She shook her head. "She discontinued my cell service, she left me up a river without a paddle." She said sadly, before disrupting her balance so she would sink into the water. She quickly came back up, water dripping through the stubble on the too of her head.

Syra felt the heat of her blush as it rose onto her cheeks. "Th-thanks, I just started a couple months ago. I thought it'd be a good distraction."
Christian's gaze saddened, but then he felt anger. How could someone do that to their child? How could anyone do that to another human? He shook his head and lightly touched her shoulder. "You aren't completely alone, you still got me and all of your friends. You can use this as a chance to start a new."

Richard raised his eyebrow before jumping up to sit on the table part of the table. "If you don't mind me asking, a distraction from what?" She raised an eyebrow as she scooted more to where she was sitting.
Bunny sighed. "In of my friends told me to go to the principle about the possibility of a scholarship. I mean, I don't have it bad as some purple...but I need to find a job or I'll be completely ruined." She smiled at him softly. "Thank you, that means a lot to me, you know." She swam up close to him and kissed Christian on the cheek before ducking underwater and swimming away a bit. She giggled, "now enough if this sad stuff, let's race! Your good in water no? I want to see how well you swim!" She grinned.

Syra looked up at him, tucking some hair behind her ear nervously. "A lot of things, there are quite a few skeletons in my closet that I have collected over the years of my life." she looked into his eyes quietly.
"You could always talk to that girl Ciera." Christian said. "She seems nice and like she would help anyone who asks." he blinked in surprise when she kissed his cheek and blushed lightly, but then grinned when she challenged him. "You asked for it." he laughed and dove under the water, feeling at ease as he swam and surfaced by her, playfully poking her arm. "Gotcha."
