Hard to Breathe If Your Around (Leo)

[Lucy Davis]

Lacing up her tennis shoes, Lucy had a smile on her face; and then started out the door; phone in hand. Having her earbuds with her and by her side as always, Lucy then walked out the door and down to the Field; where she would be running.

There was a nice long perimeter around the field, and she needed to start working out; a lot more now that cheer season was in. She needed to get fit, even more than she was already. Walking fast to warm herself up; Lucy then started at a nice jog, pacing herself so she could run farther and faster in the long run.

She could hear the music running through her ears; and making it's way through her as she ran down and around the field. She had already stretched in her dorm room and was ready to go whenever she had first got here. Looking at the autumm leaves, already changing colors, Lucy felt a rush whenever she hit a body.

Freezing up; Lucy stopped immediatley and turned around to face the person she had run into. Maybe looking up wasn't such a smart idea; at least not in Lucy's case. I am so sorry! she began.

Sweat beads ran down the boy’s face as he pushed himself around the track. He had been working out for quite some time, trying to get in practice before the team started. Leo desperately wanted to be a part of that. While teams and the whole idea of relying on others scared him, he had promised his father he would try and “get out there”. Now here he was working his butt off, around and around the field. Leo smiled to himself still, wondering how lucky he had been to end up at BRRA. They sure had a pretty sweet track. The boy pushed himself a few more meter to the bench nearby.

He grabbed his bottle of water, holding up over his mouth as he drank like a horse. Water was most definitely his main fuel other than the amount of food he ate. Satisfied with his little water break, Leo began to work his way up to a run once more, starting at a jog. This pretty much had been his routine for his whole life and the whole track thing. Other than horse-back riding, Leo loved to run. It had actually surprised him he had chosen dressage as his main discipline due to his like of running. Though it fit in with his fear of rollercoasters or anything adrenaline junkies went crazy over.

Leo focused, finally reaching his limit of speed for a long distance run. He slowed gradually, almost back to his jog before a body slammed right into his front side. The boy wanted to smack himself for accidently running to wrong way after his water break. Still, unconsciously, his arms went around the girl as he caught her to make sure she was alright. It was highly unlikely his six foot frame would be hurt in comparison to the rather smaller girl. Leo immediately let go as he realized she was okay and shook his head shyly at her apology. “No, no- I was running the wrong way.” he said quietly before looking over her “Are you alright?” he asked, somewhat nervously. Leo ran a hand through his hair.

As the boy seemed to apologize for their clash, Lucy shook her head. No, no , no; not your fault. Mine. I'm fine. Lucy said to him; running her hand through her ponytail, and then placing it back down at her side.

The boy was cute; with nice eyes, and a perfect structure. He was fit; and regularly worked out, you could tell. With brown hair outlining his head, Lucy smiled at him. He had some beads running down his forehead, and through his locks. As always; Lucy did too, when your an athlete you have to sweat.

Smiling at him, she then said, How about we meet a diffrent way? Hi, I'm Lucy. she said to him, sticking out a hand. She had so many questions; but this boy seemed shy, and not to outgoing with himself. Seeing her shoe half on, and half on; Lucy lifted her leg up, and then fixed it quickly. Placing her foot back down on the ground; still awaiting a reply from the boy, she then looked to both sides' not knowing what to say. It was getting ackward, and Lucy was feeling nervous now.

Leo looked over the smaller girl, his small shake of his head as she denied his apology and went on about how it was her fault. The boy quirked his lips, wondering how to respond to this without making an argument out of whose fault it was. Finally, he sighed and bit the inside of his cheek before speaking “Well… How about it was both our faults?” he asked softly, trying to make this part of the conversation he had unintentionally started end. He wasn’t up to a war of morale, though the girl did appear to be quite friendly. He looked over her, an intriguing look hinting in his blue eyes.

To his immediate fear, the girl looked over him and he wondered what she was thinking. Leo looked shyly down at her catching eyes, attempting to distract himself with the complexity of the track ground. Sweat was already appearing on his body, though he had as most teenage boys did made sure to put some kind of deodorant on. Leo preferred having good attention than bad if he had to have any attention at all whatsoever. He gave the girl another shy smile as she started to speak.

Meeting her in a new way seemed to be a better idea than crashing into her and he nodded in his show agreement before looking down at her little hand. Leo inhaled, before giving the hand a soft shake and remembering to introduce himself “Um… I’m Leo.” he said softly, letting his hand do its nervous habit of messing with his hair. As stupid as it looked, it kept his from becoming too awkward with others. He stared off to the distance for another moment before realizing the girl was getting fidgety with the silence “So er… Nice to meet you Lucy.” he said with a grin.

OOC: Sorry he's so awkward... If his replies are hard to reply to, just tell me and I'll try and make him say more xD

[Lucy Davis]

OOC:Nope he's fine, PM me with the ideas you had; or have? I'm sorry it took a long time to reply; been busy.

Seeing the boy himself look over and around her, like searching for his car keys, or a puppy sniffing out a bone. Laughing at his reply, Lucy took a step back; noticing how close they had been after the clash. Agreed. she said back to him.

Placing her hands down at her sides, and not knowing what to do or say next; Lucy started to think about this guy. Maybe he was quiet and shy? Mean? No that couldn't be it, it had to be shy. she was ok wigth that, as she had met many of shy people before; maybe she could open him up to the world a little bit more.

Seeing his hand brush through his hair as he said his own name; and gave a short shake. She dropped hands with him, and then said, It's nice to meet you too. she said, bringing up her hands and then letting them slap back down on her legs. Do you want me to leave now, or...stay. she asked not knowing what to do. She had a confused look on her face about what had happened and was getting even more frazzled by the second.

Leo smiled softly as her voice confirmed his little solution to their little issue of morale. The girl was pretty as most were here, though of course the boy didn’t let this fact show through. He played habitually with the bottom of his shirt, the comfortable material feeling nice against his fingers. The boy made a lopsided look as the girl stepped back and realized their close proximity. He scolded himself for being so daft and running into a girl and then losing his brain in the process. Leo looked quietly away, wondering how to fix this awkward situation and looked down back at her.

She seemed to be assessing him as he did as well, immediately taking in her look and words. Leo had already figured out she probably wasn’t the quiet type. Still, most people like that intrigued him. The boy’s blue eyes looked quietly at her, trying to slowly figure her out in his mind. It was somewhat ironic how he and her seemed to not talk as they watched each other. Leo wondered if he made her feel uncomfortable. At the thought of that, the boy sucked in his cheek and nearly moved back another step before the girl’s voice reached out once more.

The boy’s eyes widened in small shock at the fact she thought he wanted her to leave. He shook his head immediately, immediately feeling bad about his lack of words. Leo knew he was quiet, but he just got so shy about these things. Her blunt attitude caused the boy to smile, she reminded him of another person. He responded immediately “Leave? No! I mean, no I didn’t want you to leave.” he said, trying to think of something fast. He wanted to make sure she was okay even if she said she wasn’t. The boy impulsively looked at her before biting his lip and continuing “Well, since it was half of my fault, would you like to go to the cafeteria and grab something to drink?” he asked. Something to drink certainly sounded quite good right now and Leo realized he probably was going to go do that whether Lucy was coming or not.

[Lucy Davis]

Lucy stumbled a bit with her words, trying to find her muse for them. She didn't know what to say, but did know that if she didn't stop staring, this guy was going to get seriously freaked out.

Starting with her actions, she took her intake with him as serious as ever. As he seemed to be doing the same, she slightly blushed not knowing what to do or say. Hearing his next words come out of his mouth, she was slightly glad that she didn't hhave to leave.

If you wouldn't mind that would be great. she replied to him, looking into his blue eyes and watching as he played with the hem of his shirt.

She wasn't quiet ready to leave, but she could always get the time back that she had lost, goofing around with a guy she had barely known; but hopefully that would change. Crossing her fingers, and rocking on her toes, she walked forwards. Shall we? she said letting him lead the way to the Cafeteria.

She was happy that she had met someone, but didn't know whether this was the best idea or not.
