Lonely... { Openn}

[Leah Ardios]

Leah stood in the park feeling kinda sad and lonely. She missed her dad and she knew she wasn't going to be able to see him for awhile. She'd only been away from him three days when she actually started to miss him. She thought of how she was going to survive going to this Daines Academy without any friends, the only friend she really had was her father. She figured that this school that this school would be like any other school that she attended in her life.

Leah sat down underneath a tree. She closed her eyes sighing feeling the warm sun on her legs but yet, not on her face or upper body. It was a pretty good day out, besides the fact that you could tell that it was going to rain any minute.

[Jake Anthony Sorien]

Jake was bouncing the soccer ball on his knee like always. He was into soccer. When he started Daines Academy he needed something to take his mind off of his home life, which wasn't too good. So he resorted to soccer as his get away. When he played soccer it was like he was in a different world.

Jake was bouncing the ball while walking down the sidewalk path way when he noticed someone sitting underneath a tree. He stopped bouncing the ball and tucked it under his arm. Being the friendly guy that he was, he went over towards her, "Hey," Jake said with a smile.

[Leah Ardios]

Leah heard a boy say ' hey' not too far away. She opened her eyes seeing that he must have been talking to her, because he was standing in front of him. She got a little confused on why anyone would talk to her but she guessed it was because they didn't know who she was. Or because she had never been in this town before and no one really knew her. Or maybe he was lost or something.

Many maybe's went through her head before she realized that he had spoken to her about a minute ago and that she should probably say hi or something.

[Jake Anthony Sorien]

Jake looked at the girl when she didn't say anything to him. It made him wonder if she had heard him or not. He looked at her, "Umm... can you hear me?" Jake asked not to be rude but because he was curious as to why she didn't answer him. Jake switched the ball from one arm to the other.

[Leah Ardios]

Leah shook her head a little, snapping out of her thinking mode. She looked back up at him. " Ohh yeah umm hi.." She said still thinking about why he even came up to her and said hi. " What do you want?" She asked wondering because she doubted that he just wanted to talk to her.

[Jake Anthony Sorien]

Jake looked at her like she had five heads when he heard her ask what he wanted "Can't a guy come and talk to a girl who looks lonely?" Jake asked her and almost like he was also asking himself.

[Leah Ardios]

Leah looked at him a little confused. " But why would you come up to a girl who looks lonley anyways. There would have to be some specific reason for you doing that. " She said hoping he wasn't someone who took any money that she had, which she did not have much of.

[Jake Anthony Sorien]

"Not really. I'm just a friendly person. And I know what it's like to not have many friends," Jake said looking down at the ground. A frown graced his face.

[Leah Ardios]

Leah just looked at him. She sighed shaking her head. And She thought, ' Now I bet he has had at least four friends in his whole life. Unlike me who has had none except for her father.'

[Jake Anthony Sorien]

"Do you mind if I sit down? I'd like to get to know you a little bit better," Jake said softly. This girl seemed like she really didn't want to be bothered with anyone. Jake liked a challenge. One way or another he was going to get this girl to talk to him and be his friend.

[Leah Ardios]

Leah looked down at her lap thinking. She wasn't sure she should let him sit down with her and actually talk. She wasn't an easy person to tell who she really is, or anything important about her. She looked back up at him with the corner of her eyes. " If you must." She answered, her face looked as if she was glaring at him a little.

[Jake Anthony Sorien]

"Listen if you don't want me to then I won't. I don't want to force you to do anything you don't want to do. So if you don't want me to sit down then I won't," Jake said after seeing her glare at him. Or at least it looked like she was glaring at him.

[Leah Ardios]

Leah looked back down to her lap. She sighed looking back up at him. " It honestly does not matter one bit if you sit with me or if you don't sit with me." Leah said still looking up at him. She was curious to know if he would actually sit with her or not.

[Jake Anthony Sorien]

Jake looked at the girl and took this as an okay to sit with her. Jake sat down and leaned back against the tree, "I'm Jake. And you are?" Jake asked looked over at the girl moving his head to the side to swipe his bangs out of his face.

[Leah Ardios]

Leah stared at her lap. She sighed asking, " Why do you even care?" She looked directly at him a curious look on her face. " Why are you even here wasting you're precious little time on someone like me?" Leah asked even more curious to know his answer.
