Just a little farther... Not much farther... Sophie thought running through the woods. She was almost back to the dorms where she could take a shower. Sophie slowed to a trot and swung her head back and forth catching a scent in the air. She tried to place the scent but she wasn't sure what it was. It smelled almost like a wolf. She tried to remember if there were wolves in Hawaii but she was at a Academy where the people here shifted...
Her ears twitched hearing another animal in the woods. It must be a wolf. She decides to go and stalk the creature to learn if it's a wolf or not. Sophie trotted slowly over to the area where the scent had come from. She didn't want to scare away the animal. She sniffed the air again trying to find the scent and to see if the creature moved; it hadn't. Now Sophie crouched down behind a bush to see a white and gray wolf standing in the middle of the tears sniffing the air. The wolf lowered it's head and looked around before laying eyes on Sophie. She crouched down so her belly was touching the ground. She pulled her lips back to show that she could hurt the wolf. Either the wolf was bored and knew Sophie wouldn't hurt him or the wolf got the message because it suddenly sprinted towards the long end of the island.
Since the wolf was gone, Sophie decided it was best to go back to the dorms. She was tired, sweaty, and wanted to take a shower.
She had grown bored of doing her homework and went to the woods. Sophie had turned into her fox form and immediately began to break out in to a run. She had wanted to run to the far end of the island but stopped halfway because she realized she had to run all the way back. It had taken about an hour to get to where she had been and it would take another hour to get back.
Finally back...[/i][/color] Sophie turned back into her human form wiping the loose strands of her hair out of her face. Her body was already sore from the long run and she didn't know how sore she was going to be tomorrow. Her face as all sweaty and she just wanted to take a shower. Sophie pulled at her long sleeve shirt tugging it over her hands. She stopped, flipped her head so her hair was dangling around her and she was looking at the ground. Sophie pulled the hair tie from her wrist and wrapped it around her hair. She stood up right with her hair in a ponytail. She started back to her dorm room. Glancing around at people, Sophie saw people staring at her. She felt her face flush as they watched her. She pulled her hands into her sleeves again wanting to get out of here and into her dorm room where she can shower. Sophie quickened her pace and released her breath when she opened the door to her dorm building. Sophie quickly ran up the steps regardless of her body wanting her to walk and stopped on the second floor. Slowly walking to the door, Sophie opened it and smiled because no one was her dorm. Sophie pulled out her towel and went into the bathroom to shower. Fifteen minutes later, Sophie stepped out of the bathroom with a new pair of shorts, a long sleeve shirt, and a short sleeve shirt over that. She collapsed on her bed exhausted. She was almost asleep but she knew her homework needed to get done. So she pulled her laptop out, powered it up, and grabbed her binder for criminal justice. She opened it and flipped the page she had been doing her homework on before she decided she wanted to run around the island. She attempted to get lost into her homework when the door opened and her roommate walked in. [/size] [/blockquote][/center] |

Skyler sat on the beach with her feet buried in the sand. Her sketch book in her lap and a pencil in her hand; she was sketching the ocean. How the waves crashed on the shore, how the sun made the water glitter, the shells that merged in the sand on the shore, and the people playing in the water. Her bag rested on her leg, waiting to be picked up again. Skyler sighed, wasn’t there anything better she could do? Her blonde hair with a pink streak in it hung over her shoulders. She pushed one side of her hair over her shoulder to rest on her back. Skyler finished her drawing and looked up at the sky. It was a nice day out; the sun was out and there weren’t many clouds out and the ones that were, weren’t dark clouds. Skyler had gotten used to the hot weather of the island and she kind of liked it; though she would prefer it to be mostly warm with a slight breeze.
Skyler tugged on her scarf and thought about what she should do next. She really didn’t want to go swimming. Skyler stood up and grabbed her bag; putting her pencil and sketch book in it. “I’ll just go back to my dorm!”
[/color]She said to herself with an excited voice. She stood on her tippy toes and then back flat on her feet. She had been sitting on the beach for about an hour maybe more. She put her sandals on and turned and walked into the forest. Skyler looked at the floor the whole time she walked; it was a bad habit and she didn’t want to trip on anything. Skyler came out of the forest unharmed. She saw the academy and smiled. She was almost to her dorm. Skyler walked to the school building. She wondered if she would see her new roommate. Skyler has talked to the girl once or twice. The other girl seemed nice but she wanted to get to know her more. Skyler wondered if she could make Sophie her friend. It would be nice to be friends with the girl, and not just because they’re roommates. Skyler walked through the hallways and passed some people. She had gotten used to people passing her and sometimes staring at her. Skyler shrugged it off when other girls giggled at her or what seemed like they were giggling at her. She found her dorm room and walked inside. Skyler saw that Sophie was here and she smiled at the other girl. “Hello!” [/color] She said as she waved. Skyler walked over to her bed and placed her bag on it. She walked into the bathroom and washed her feet and legs off in the bathtub. When she was done she dried off and walked out of the bathroom. She took out her laptop and sat on her bed, crossing her legs and making herself comfortable. She looked over at her roommate; she wondered what the other girl was doing. “So… What are you up to?” [/color] Skyler asked in a friendly voice trying to start up a conversation; her thick German accent coming out in each word. " you are speaking " [/color] you are thinking [/color] [/blockquote] NOTES: Hope it’s ok. Sorry it’s short.. OUTFIT: clickWORDS: 523 MUSE: Hmm I think it’s pretty good.

Sophie nodded in acknowledgment when Skyler said hello. She didn't want to say anything else and she didn't know what to say. Sophie went back to her homework as Skyler went into the bathroom to wash up. Sophie watched Skyler out of the corner of her eye as she sat down and powered up her laptop. Sophie chewed on her lip trying to figure out what this question on her homework was asking. It had something to do with search and seizer when drugs and alcohol were involved. She was still trying to make out the question when Sklyer spoke.
“So… What are you up to?”
Sophie chewed on her lip even harder when Sklyer's simple, friendly question rang across the room. She looked up at Skyler who was smiling at her. Sophie glanced back down at her homework.
She knew she had to answer in order to befriend Skyler but she didn't want to make herself vulnerable. Sophie knew how to respond in order not to make herself seem scared or vulnerable. That was something she had learned how to do throughout the years of being bullied in school. Sophie tugged on the sleeve of her long sleeve shirt. She played with the hem of her shirt before answering.
"Homework,"[/color] Sophie responded quietly. She looked back down to her homework then over to her laptop where her e-mail pinged. She checked it and saw it was an e-mail from Nicholas. Sophie's beamed as she opened the e-mail from Nicholas. She skimmed over the letter and smiled at parts and frowned at others. Nicholas was doing good. that was good because that meant he had a chance to come back home. If he was doing good today, that meant he would do good tomorrow. Sophie sent her reply and grabbed her stuff animal. It was a little red fox that had a red tail with a black tip and ears like hers. Her mom had given it to her before she left not knowing what Sophie really was. Sophie looked up at Skyler who was still watching her. Sophie ducked her head behind her laptop as her cheeks flushed. This wasn't what Nicholas wanted. Nicholas wanted her to be happy and to have friends. He especially wanted her to come out of her shell. Only way to do that was to starting talking. Sophie took a deep breath and poked her head up from behind the laptop. "How...long h-have you been h-here?"[/color] Sophie asked. She wanted to hit herself for stuttering. that showed weakness. She didn't want Skyler to know that she was weak. [/size]

Skyler changed her to lying down on her stomach with her laptop still in front of her. She would have went to watching youtube and put her earphones in. But Sophie hadn’t answered her question; so it would be rude to do that. Not to mention she wanted to talk to Sophie more, so she still couldn’t watch youtube. She couldn’t talk and watch youtube at the same time. Or well she could but it still would be rude. It wasn’t like her too be rude. She may not talk much but she still listened to other people talk. She couldn’t listen to two things at once. Besides Sophie was more important and would probably more interesting. Besides that she could watch youtube later, it was rare that she was in the dorm the same time as her roommates. So she went to check her e-mails while she wanted for Sophie to answer. She had two e-mails waiting for her to read them.
She looked at Sophie when she said she was doing home work. She reminded her she had some home work to do also. “Oh, Sorry for interrupting than…”
[/color] She felt bad for interrupting her studies. She herself didn’t like people interrupting her doing homework. She would lose her concentration on it. Though drawing and reading she didn’t have a problem being interrupted with. But she did have her own homework to do. But she figured she do it later; maybe at night. She could go to the beach and do it. This way if Sophie wanted to ask her a question the other girl wouldn’t bother her at all. Skyler looked at who the e-mails were from. One was from her one friend Aaron and the other was from his brother Ryan. Aaron became a good friend of hers; he was the one to get her out of her shell a bit. Ryan she became friends with when she took care of him for a bit when he got the flu one time; before he had to go to the school’s hospital and even then she would bring him soup or something if he wanted it. During reading her one e-mail Sophie asked her a question. It was a simple question to answer. Skyler looked at her and smiled gently “ I have been here for about nine months. If you don’t mind me asking how long have you been here?” She asked. [/color] When she first came here from Germany she was just like Sophie really. Though she wasn’t shy she just didn’t want anything to do with people. Being raised in an orphanage you get used to the many kids and people and you don’t feel shy anymore. For her it really was that she just didn’t want to deal with people. Mostly because she didn’t want to feel the hurt of losing someone again; whether it is they walked out or didn’t keep in touch, or the worst thing Skyler didn’t want was for them to die. Skyler was better off just not getting close to people not wanting that attachment and then seeing them slowly leave or leave just like that out of her life. But Aaron showed her that it was alright for that to happen and that there are going to be people who would stay in her life.

Why was Skyler apologizing for interrupting her? It was alright. It wasn't like she was doing anything other than homework. She would love to have a distraction. She'd be talking to Stellan right now but she hadn't heard from him in a couple of days. He was in class but he disappeared from the chat. She wished she had someone to talk to because she grew lonely of never having anyone.
As those thoughts crossed her mind, Sophie could hear Nicholas in her mind saying, "You need to open up to other people more. I don't want to lose you again Soph."[/color][/i] Sophie sighed as those words crossed her mind. Nicholas had repeated them several times as the years went by when she closed off. It had been worse after the Thomas incident. "Y-you don't need to apologize. I'm on-only doing homework,"[/color] Sophie said, angry with herself for stuttering again. At least it wasn't as bad as last time. It wasn't that Sophie had a speech impediment or anything. When she is nervous, she stutters. It's not anything she can help and she'll always do that. No matter what or how old she is. It's just something she has to live with. Sophie ran her hand through her hair as Skyler talked. Her long, curly blonde hair fell from her fingers to around her face again. Skyler had a German accent which Sophie thought was kinda cool. She's heard accents before but the German was cool. “ I have been here for about nine months."[/color] Nine months was a long time. Sophie wondered if she came here from Germany or lived in the US before coming here. The only way to find out was to ask. But did she really want to ask? Did she really want to open her mouth, let the words flow out make herself more vulnerable? Of course not. Only thing that convinced her to do so was Nicholas. Only because of Nicholas Sophie talked to people. "If you don’t mind me asking how long have you been here?”[/color] Sophie looked up at Skyler who was laying down on her bed kind of like Sophie. Sophie was laying down on her side with her laptop in front of her and her books surrounding here. Her fox was stuffed under the arm that was propping her up. "That's a long time... Are you from Germany? I've b-been here for about a month,"[/color] Sophie was proud of herself. She only stuttered once! It was a new record! And, Nicholas would be proud of her. She was asking questions, engaging herself with others. That was probably the most she's ever said to one person at once. She was getting there... slowly. Maybe Skyler was her key like Nicholas was. It would only take time to tell. "You talking."[/color] "Others talking."[/color] [/size]

Skyler sighed; she didn’t have much to do in the dorm room. She looked at Sophie; but she wanted to talk to Sophie a bit more. She needed friends and seeing how Sophie was her roommate why couldn’t she be one? Skyler was new with the whole friends’ thing. Growing up she had none, even now she only had one. She was too timid to talk to people and too shy. She wasn’t sure what even got her to talk to Sophie. But Sophie seemed like a person who also needed a friend or two. “Hey you know what? We should like go to the mall or something and hang out.”
[/color]It was a friendly gesture to hang out. Was there something wrong with that? Should she not have asked? Skyler needed to take more risks in life… Though taking risks wasn’t something she liked doing. She liked things happening when they happened; not her doing it herself. Though that was kind of what happened to her parents. She placed her finger tips on her lip where a scar was left from that night her parents were murdered. But it wasn’t something she wanted to think about. Not at this time; if she did she would break down crying and she wasn’t going to do that in front of Sophie. Because she would have to explain and she didn’t want to explain her story and have Sophie pity her. She didn’t want pity from anyone; she didn’t even want people to sympathize with her. Though she knew if she didn’t share her thoughts or story with someone it would eat her up inside. She knew this wasn’t a good thing. Skyler looked at her roommate and shrugged. “Well alright. But if someone interrupted me while doing home work I wouldn’t be too pleased about it. Though anything else you can interrupt me from doing; I won’t mind.” [/color]She really didn’t; but if it was important then she wouldn’t mind being interrupted in anything. She went into her night stand drawer and got out her note book that she kept all of what she had to do for home work. She opened it up and looked to see what she had to do. Skyler looked at Sophie when she asked if she was from Germany. She nodded at the girl “Yes I am. I was born and raised there. It was only till I came here that I got out of Germany.” [/color] She brushed her hair over her shoulder only to fall down again. “Oh so you’re pretty new here huh? How do you like the school so far? “[/color]She asked. " you are speaking " [/color] you are thinking [/color] [/blockquote] NOTES: Hope it’s ok.

“Hey you know what? We should like go to the mall or something and hang out.”[/b] Sophie looked up shocked. No one has asked her to go anywhere in a really long time. Not since she ended the relationship with Thomas. It was like Thomas was her last link between friends and being by herself. Which she didn’t mind but hey, people need friends. It was about time she found some too. “Ummm….S-sure…” Sophie responded unsure why she just did answered the way she did. Nicholas would be jumping with joy right now that she accepted to hang out with another human being besides him. She chewed on her lip and self consciously grabbed for her stuff animal. Sophie closed her binder and set it aside. There was no way she could do homework now. Even if Skyler left her alone, she couldn’t focus on her work. “Well alright. But if someone interrupted me while doing home work I wouldn’t be too pleased about it. Though anything else you can interrupt me from doing; I won’t mind.”She nodded as Skyler talked about homework. It’d make sense about being bothered. Sophie didn’t mind anymore. She was use to be interrupted by her parents or Nicholas. It was mainly Nicholas how would interrupt her before he went off to the military. ”That makes sense.”[/color] Sophie responded. She was getting use to Skyler because she wasn’t stuttering anymore. She smiled glad at her little victory. One step at a time. One step at a time. Sklyer said she was born and raised in Germany. That’s pretty cool. She was born and raised in the United States. Forced to move from her home to Washington. That was a choice she did not like and still doesn’t like. “That’s cool. I’ve never been out of the U.S.” Sophie said leaning against the wall while her laptop went to sleep on the bed next to her. “Oh so you’re pretty new here huh? How do you like the school so far?”[/b] Pretty new defiantly. She was pretty new and she hated it. She loved the school. The teachers were nice and they always were willing to help. It was the people she didn’t like. “I love the school… I’m just… lonely,” Sophie choose her words carefully so she didn’t alert Skyler that was depressed and wanted out of here. She wondered if Sklyer ever wanted to leave here like she did. The only way to know was to ask but she didn’t want to do that. Sophie looked up at Sklyer hoping the tears weren’t obvious. "You talking."[/color] "Others talking."[/color] [/size]
