-sitting around with his guitar-
-while nobody else was around-
-assumed most were out skiing or snowboarding-
-like usual-
-best time of day to practice-
-just...the other guys were out too-
-sigh-
-what a practice-

-strums guitar-
-thinks for a moment-
-smiles to himself-
-starts playing-
-taught himself how to play a song from Hairspray-
-one of the craziest ones-
-can't help but laugh at it-
-thinks it's really amusing-

Once I was a selfish fool who never understood.
Never looked inside myself, but, on the outside, I looked good.

-laughs-
-can't sing it-
-just no-
-always laughs when he sings it-
-settles on playing it-
-sounded pretty cool on guitar-

[[ Bwha! Awful post for you! ]]

[Adrienne McClaire]

{Thanks Chrissy! -laughs-}

-got tired of snowboarding-
-surprised at self-
-thinks-
-shivers of coldness-
-walks towards lounge-
-thinks as she goes-
-opens door-
-strips off jacket-
-and gloves-
-and hat-
-sets it in a chair-
-not paying attention who's in there-
-hears music-
-thinks the radio is on-
-goes to the pop machine-
-slides in dollar-
-pushes button-
-bends over-
-grabs drink-
-stands straight-
-shakes head slightly to get her hair out of her face-
-but to across her eye-
-looks around-
-spots him-
-guy she had talked to Sammy about-
-looks away-
-goes to seat and table-
-sets drink down-
-tries looking for money-
-sighs-
-left it in bedroom-
-looks about-
-hands slipping in and out of pockets-
-on coat as well-

Shoot!

-not loud-
-but heard-
-if listening-
-sighs-
-sits down-
-was going to get food as well-
-but only had one dollar on her-
-got pop-
-shakes head-
-takes a drink-

-turns-
-looks at him-
-looks back to drink-
-thinks-
-sighs-

[Patrick Kaven]

-blinks-
-hears someone rifling around-
-pauses for a second-
-notices a girl-
-a blonde-
-small blush-
-goes back to playing-
-wasn't much of a guy who went up-
-and just talked-
-was strange like that-
-sighs-

-stops the song-
-holds the guitar lazily-
-thinking of another song to play-
-shifts in his seat-
-couldn't think of many-
-mostly because he felt awkward-
-usually didn't play in front of anyone-
-or a crowd-
-not just one person-
-not that she was paying attention-
-but it made him feel insecure-
-poor guy-
-had a shyness issue-

-blinks again-
-looks over at her again-
-tilts head to one side slightly-
-she seemed to be looking for something-
-wondered what-
-looks away-
-thinks-
-sigh-
-puts guitar in its case-
-leaves it with some other equipment-
-does it all the time-
-nothing's happened yet-

-walks over to her-
-quietly, but not quiet enough to spook her-
-but not loud-
-hands in his pockets-

Uh...You...missing something?

-raises an eyebrow-
-small smile-

[Adrienne McClaire]

-elbow on table-
-head in hands-
-eyes closed-
-debating if its worth to get to her room-
-grab money and come back or not-
-a bit zoned out-

-hears a voice-
-words said quietly-
-opens eyes-
-turns around immediately-
-jumps slightly-


-smiles lightly-
-is still cold-
-shivers-
-smiles-

Um. Not missing. Really.

-laughs-
-shakes head to get hair away from eyes-
-so she can look at him-
-smiles-

I didn't know I left all my money except for a dollar in my room.

-nods-
-thinks-
-laughs-

I was going to get something to eat after boarding but I don't have any money.

-smiles-
-thinks-

I'm trying to decides wheter to go get it or not.

-nods-
-looks to his guitar case over there-
-smiles-
-looks back to him-

You were good by the way. I'd have said so earlier but well...yeah

-laughs-
-smiles-

[Patrick Kaven]

-listens as she talks-
-smiles-
-can't help but laugh-
-doesn't realize he's laughing til a bit later, though-
-stops-
-mental facepalm-
-she probably thought he was a jerk now-
-wonderful-
-clears throat-

I-I wasn't laughing at you, it's just I...I've been in similar situations before and...

-babbling-
-he was babbling-
-amazing-
-had a habit of doing that-
-wishes he could shake it-
-always looked like an idiot around people he didn't know well-
-wonders how he manages that-
-no matter the situation-
-sigh-

What I'm saying is...

-blink-
-doesn't know what he was saying-
-shrugs slightly-

I have some extra cash on me.
I could give you some.

-nods-
-always kept extra money on him-
-in case things like this happened-
-learned from hanging around Darren to be ready for anything-

-looks back at his case-
-slight blush-
-not very noticeable-
-but a blush-

Th-thanks.

[Adrienne McClaire]

-hears him laughing-
-looks down-
-slight pink to her cheeks-
-usually doesn't blush-
-barely ever-
-but well, sh just didn't know-
-hears him start to talk-
-looks up-
-smiles-

Its. Its okay.

-laughs lightly-
-bites bottom lip-
-notices he's babbling-
-and rambling-
-smiles slightly bigger-

-thinks-
-nods lightly-
-thinks about it more-
-shakes head again-

No, its alright. I mean. I don't want to take your money with out even knowing you.

-smiles-
-sees him look at his case-
-sees his own slight blush-
-thinks-
-smiles-
-nods-

Your welcome.

-thinks-

And back to my last saying. I'm Adrienne.

-laughs lightly-
-thinks-
-is about to be brave-

And I might except your money if you'll let me pay you back and if you eat with me.

-smiles-
-small blush showing-
-hadn't mean for it to sound like she was hitting on him-
-wasn't-
-thinks-
-might have-

[Patrick Kaven]

Nice to meet you, Adrienne.

-nods-
-extends hand for her to shake-
-because it was the polite thing to do-

I'm Patrick.

-hated his name-
-thought it was rather embarassing-
-especially when guys would call him Patty to annoy him-
-which worked-
-every time-
-went off once-
-only time he ever remembered really being mad about something-
-it just wasn't in him to get mad-
-but, damn if that guy wasn't persistent-

-shakes head-
-smiles-

It's fine to take money if someone offers.

-nod-

Besides, I'm not a fan of girls who walk around, starving themselves.

-blink-
-that came out wrong-
-shoot-
-sigh-
-couldn't ever say anything the way he meant it-
-hopes she could tell-
-though, not many people could-
-whatever-
-he'd deal one way or the other-

-listens to her conditions for borrowing money-
-was slightly confused-
-understood the paying back part-
-but lunch with him?-
-that was a strange thing-
-does his best not blush-
-and doesn't-
-for once in his life-
-is proud-
-nod-

That sounds reasonable to me.

[Adrienne McClaire]

{He's so gosh darn cute! -laughs-}

-her small hand reached his-
-shakes it lightly-
-smiles-

Patrick...I like that name.

-smiles-
-hadn't meant to say it out load-
-but at the same time did-
-he didn't seem confident-
-plush she really did-
-smiles-

-laughs-
-nods-

True. But it still doesn't feel right. Not with out conditions.

-smiles-
-laughs again-
-raises eyebrow-

Don't worry, I don't starve myself. I'm in to many guy sports to starve myself.

-smiles-
-puts own hands at waist sort of-
-thumbs tucked in belt loops-

-nods-
-smiles-

Reasonable.

-nods-
-thinks-
-wonders what she'd say-
-thinks-
-looks at the counter-

-thinks-

So I hear that your friends with Darren. Do you live in the same area?

-does-
-same school-
-hasn't seen him around-
-just wanted to ask-

[Patrick Kaven]

-shakes her hand-
-with a smile-
-thinksher hand is rather small-
-but most girls' hands were compared to guys' hands-
-just the way it normally seemed to work out-
-puts his hands back in his pockets-
-blink-
-is surprised-
-not many people liked his name-
-smile-

Thanks.
Adrienne's a nice name.

-nod-
-thought it was cute-
-but wasn't going to say that out loud-
-would be rather awkward for the two of them-

-smiles slightly once more-
-she wasn't going to give up-
-even if he agreed-
-seemed pretty independent-
-liked that-
-thought it was kinda funny, to be honest-
-most girls would flip if a guy offered to buy them lunch-

-hears her say something about Darren-
-mental groan-
-hope he hadn't said anything to make him look like an idiot-
-didn't think he'd do that-
-but he was a bit loony sometimes-
-soft sigh of relief-
-shakes head-

Nah. I live in Vermont.

-nods-

What about you?

[Adrienne McClaire]

-smiles-
-laughs lightly-
-nods-

Yeah. Especially when being a tomboy and having all brothers I ended up with the nickname: Adrenaline Rush.

-smiles-
-laughs-

I guess that came from whooping them at sports.

-walks with-
-nods lightly-
-looks at-

That must be a nice flight to just get here.

-smiles-
-hears question-
-sighs slightly-

I live in the same town. Same area really.

-sighs-
-shakes head-
-laughs-

-looks at him-
-smiles-

You looked a bit nervous at that. Something I'd get from him I'd need to know?

-grins-
-laughs-

If so don't worry. I don't get a long with him. My best friend Sam does though.

-nods-
-hates that-
-afraid she'll get hurt-

[Patrick Kaven]

-raises an eyebrow-
-tilts head to one side-

Adrenaline Rush?

-blink-
-shrug-

I like Adrienne better.

-nod-

Hope you don't mind if I don't call you by that...nickname.

-laugh-
-hard to imagine a girl playing sports-
-unless cheerleading counted-
-girls were just so...-
-"OMG! I broke a nail!" all the time-
-well, from what he heard anyways-
-hung out with quite a few girls, actually-
-heard that stuff a lot-
-nice to meet one who wasn't like that-

-shrug-

The flight's alright.
I hang out with awesome people and get paid.
Good deal, I'd say.

-shrug-

And, it really is the only place I see a lot of people.
It's worth it.

-nod-
-grin-
-blink-
-blush-
-shakes head-

D's not right in the head and says crazy things about people and...yeah...

-cough-
-blink-
-is confused-

Why don't you get along with him?

-everyone got along with him-
-it was hard not to-

[Adrienne McClaire]

-laughs-
-nods-
-smiles-

Thanks. I'm glad you do.

-snicks-
-walks with-
-thinks-
-laughs-

Yeah go ahead. I only use that when on sports.

-nods-

And thats because it has stuck with me.

-nods-
-plays all sports-
-football even-
-only girl on team-
-smirks-

-nods-
-thinks-

Thats right, you work here don't you?

-thinks-
-smiles-
-decides to see if she can get that smile again-
-or the blush-
-both are well...cute-

Am I considered one of those awesome people so far?

-smiles-
-nods-
-sighs-
-thinks-

I'm not a social person. I like to isolate myself. Sam is one of my best friends since the rest of my set died.

-was one of three triplets-
-nods-

And. I guess I've seen D around. And I know D's a good guy, but for some reason I just look at Sam like a sister. A little sister. Over protective i guess you can say. I just can't help but think something's going to go wrong.

-looks at him-

I'm strange I admit it.

-grins-
-laughs-
-gets to the counter-
-leans against it-
-looks at him-

You sure you don't mind lending me money?

-laughs-
-smiles-

We can go up to my room and i'll pay you back

-nods-
-blushes-
-realizes they just meet and she said, well basically invited him up-
-looks to the person behind the counter-

[Patrick Kaven]

-listens to her-
-carefully-
-did to everyone-
-just the way he learned to figure out things-
-people sometimes dropped hints about things-
-not that he was necessarily trying to figure out anything just yet-
-just a habit-

-nod-

Yeah. I do work here.

-sometimes even the band plays-
-wasn't going to say that-
-would sound like he was bragging-
-hated when he sounded boastful-
-even made him hate himself-
-hated people like that-
-ground his nerves to no end-

-blink-
-looks over at sideways-
-shrugs slightly-

So far, you are.

-nods-
-smiles slightly-
-hopes she doesn't turn out be different-
-some people put on shows-
-hated that also-
-but some people were just silly like that-

-listens to her story-
-doesn't really know what to say-
-is an awkward topic-
-blink-
-nervously runs a hand through his hair-

Uhm...If you don't mind me asking, how old are you and how old is she?

-tilts head slightly-
-doesn't want to sound rude-
-thinks he probably does-
-just curious-

D is a nice guy. I honestly can tell you I don't think he'd do anything to hurt your friend.

-nod-
-had to stand up for him-
-just a friend thing-
-and honestly did believe that-

-stops at the counter-
-looks at-
-smirk-

I'm really going to tell you I changed my mind after I've offered and you're about ready to offer?
That isn't very gentleman-like.

-blink-
-blushes slightly-
-finds that last statement just a bit awkward-
-cough-
-shrug-

It doesn't matter.

-shrug-
-nod-
-looks at the person behind the counter-
-then back at her-

What do you want?

[Adrienne McClaire]

-smiles-
-nods-

Thats cool. I mean working in a place like this.

-smiles-
-thinks-
-looks back at his guitar-
-thinks-

Band? Or independent?

-looks back to him-
-smiles-
-thinks-
-laughs lightly-

So far.

-smiles slightly-
-doesn't do fake-
-gets annoyed by it-
-plus to hard-
-to many lies for this blonde to handle-

-listens-
-thinks-
-laughs lightly-
-looks at him-

I don't mind you asking.

-smiles-
-thinks-
-laughs-

I'm seventeen, and she is eighteen. What about you?

-nods-
-laughs lightly-
-thinks-

-laughs-
-smiles-
-sees his smirk-
-smirks back slightly-

A lot of guys have been ungentle men like to me before, I'm shocked I've actually found a guy who is.

-thinks-
-blushes slightly-
-hadn't meant to say that in a...-
-well...bad way-
-thinks-

-laughs-
-thinks-

I'll take what ever your having.

-smiles-
-shrugs-

I'm not a picky eater.

-smiles-
-looks around-
-hair falls back into her eyes-
-pushes it out-
