||Open|| What's the Point

[April Whitt]

April was walking up the stairs on her way to her Advanced Physics class. But she really had no intrest in going. She stopped and sat down on one of the stairs, placing her bag gentily beside her. She hummed 'Who's to Say' by Vanessa Carlton to herself, as she tried to think of something she could do to pass the time.

See the thing was that April wasn't big on skipping, she thought that it was really pointless, and going to class was a better use of your time. But today was different for her. She was really hurting, she was really tired, and she had been really bored all day. Plus, the 2 year aniversary of her parents death was coming up, and so was her birthday. Two really morbid occasions.

The stairs were empty as far as she could tell.Great she thought the herself, as she looked around. Definately the only person not in class[/b] she thought with a sigh, as she looked at her white polka dotted ballet flats. Maybe she was better off just going to class?

[/i] He would laugh but knew that was probably true in reality.

He flipped the hood of his hoodie off of his head and walked down the halls, trying to avoid the teachers who may be on the lookout for skippers. He had gotten pretty good at knowing who was where and at what time. Which wasn't neccesarily something to brag about.

The only sound was his worn out black skinny jeans rubbing together as he walked and the faint noise of his Etnies hitting the floor. He kept his head down low as he walked down the stairs, and bumped into someone. He almost lost his balance, but remained standing and walked back a step to see who it was.

April Whitt, well it wasn't so bad to accidentally bump into her. He smiled a little towards her. "Sorry 'bout that." He said.[/ul][/size][/color]

April paused for a minute bofore she actually said anything. She had just enough time to look down, and process what had just happened. She looked back up as she began to speak. "Oh. Don't be." She said with a faint smile. "I'm the one in the way" She said as she looked back down.

April had never been the kind of girl to flat out flirt and be all over a guy. She was way more subtil with how she did things. That's why she hadn't completely freaked out and jumped on him, like she knew many girls at the school would. Well it would've helperd if April wasn't so shy around most guys...

"Skipping again?" she asked Braxton, with the same faint smile.

[Braxton McKenneth]

[/i] rude, or rude at all. It just depended on who you were and if he liked you or not, and there weren't too many people he actually liked at this place.

He flicked some of the hair out of his eyes and sat down next to her on the step. He placed his hands on his thighs and responded, "As always." He smiled with satisfaction. "But since when do you skip?" He asked. Not many people did, but anything was better than sitting in a room listening to a teacher talk for hours.

Braxton wasn't nervous at all when it came to talking to the opposite sex, in fact he downright enjoyed it. He had a tendency to fall for people a little too fast and too many people at one time. He couldn't pin himself down to one person, at least not yet.[/ul][/size][/color]

[April Whitt]

April shruged slightly and she looked away. Braxton was right. Since when did April skip..? She didn't. "Well" She started, as she looked back in Braxton's drection "Honestly I don't." She said with a light laugh. "but there's a first time for everything" she said with a smile.

Yea, there was always a first time for everything. Like moving, first day of school, your parents dying. Oh wait that only happens once. April could not handle class, or anything else for that matter at this time. But what was the point of telling anyone. It's not like they knew anyways. Wait did they even care?

April's attention was focused back onto Braxton. "So what's new?" April asked as she placed her hands on her knees.

[Braxton McKenneth]

[/b] He teased. Braxton didn't think much of it to skip classes, since he did it on a such a regular basis. Nothing new here. He was just waiting until he could leave, which hopefully would be very soon.

It's not like he could go anywhere though. With all his relatives and parents dead or not speaking to him, he was pretty much out of luck. He couldn't keep a job, so no home or food. Maybe staying here wasn't the worst, Braxton was just waiting until he'd end up in a cardboard box on the side of the road. He shook it off, that didn't matter right now.

Braxton shrugged. "Not much -- everything's so -- boring." He sighed, then stood to his feet. "I say instead of sitting on steps, we go enjoy our day of skipping class." He said, extending his hand towards her to help her on her feet. What they were going to do? Braxton had no clue, but he could think of that in a moment.[/ul][/size][/color]

[April Whitt]

"Of I definately am.. Just one big rebel!" She said with a small smile, as she rested her hands down on the stair at her sides. Rebel? Was April a rebel? Well she never thought of herself as one, but she never really cared what anyone else thought about her.

April nodded "Sure.. Anything's more fun than sitting here." she said as she slowly got up, with the help of Braxton. She smiled as she reached to get her bag. She picked it up and looked back at Braxton. "So where to?" she asked as she placed her bag over her shoulder.

April absolultely loved hanging out, off of campus. It was so much better in the other couple towns she had lived in. There was definately a lot of exciting things to do. Plus hanging with Braxton.. things were definately never boring when he was around.

[Braxton McKenneth]

[/s] bass guitar.

Braxton thought about that for a moment as he began to walk down the steps. There were a lot of places to go, but deciding which one was the hardest part. Since they were ditching it would probably be better if they left the school grounds and went out somewhere. But where?

He then smiled and motioned for her to follow him. "I say the beach. How about it?" He suggested to her.[/ul][/size][/color]

[April Whitt]

April followed Braxton "Sure... sounds good" she said with a smile as they began to walk down the stairs.

April absolultely loved the beach. It was so quiet and peaceful.The sun was generally always shinning, and there was rarely anyone annoying there.

April, on the other hand, spent as much time as she could outside. It reminded her so much of when her parents were alive, and she definately loved that feeling. She missed them, and that was the only time she could feel as though they were there with her.

April pushed through the front double doors of the school, still being pretty cautious. She was almost off the school grounds, and she didn't want to get caught now. That wouldn't be much fun... now would it?

She smiled as she reached the front gates. She sun was shinning, and it looked like a great day. She was so excited to be spending time with one of her good friends... Almost everything was good. Except that her parent's were dead. But that couldn't be changed now.

[Braxton McKenneth]

[/i] He thought to himself with a little shake of his head.

When they finally arrived at the beach, Braxton turned back towards April, raising his head. "Well, I got to choose where we went, so you get to choose what we do." He smiled. The beach wasn't too crowded, but they definately weren't alone on the shores.[/ul][/size][/color]

[April Whitt]

April looked around.. What to do? she asked herself as she began to think of what they could do. She bit her lip as she continued to look around. She spotted an ice cream parlor "Ooo.. We could go get ice cream" she said as she pointed towards the small ice cream store, with a small smile.

[Braxton McKenneth]

[/b] He smiled, shielding his eyes from the sun as he walked towards the parlor. When arriving, he noticed a Help Wanted sign posted on the door. He looked at it for a moment before opening the door and hearing the little ding of the bell above it. He looked at all the different flavors hung on the glass and stuck his hands in his pockets while he searched through them.[/ul][/size][/color]

[April Whitt]

April smiled. There definately wasn't very many things that she loved more than Ice Cream. As they walked in, she felt like she was in heaven. She looked down in the cases, with flavours upon flavours of ice cream and she smiled. "I think I'm gonna get strawberry... You know what you want?" she asked still smiling.
