Walking Home

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizeable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days.

Walking Home

Postby Rachel O'Brien » Thu Apr 04, 2013 12:54 am

Rachel was done with her shift in the infirmary, and was walking across the gardens towards the dorms. She was moving quickly, trying to get to the dorm before anyone (Ryan) spotted her.

Ryan, on the other hand, was irritated as he stormed out of his power control class unnaturally early. So irritated, in fact, that he wasn't looking where he should... which was at Rachel as he knocked into her from the side. "Gah!"

Rachel grabbed onto his shoulder to keep from falling "Ryan! Um, hi. Good to see you."

Ryan grabbed ahold of her to keep from knocking her over. "Oh god damn it... sorry," he said, looking embarrassed.

"I'm sorry I've been avoiding you." Rachel said "I just...I have no idea where to go. What to say to you. What we are."

Oddly, Ryan cast a very irritated look back at the lighthouse at this. "What we are... Rachel, I'm your boyfriend and you're my girlfriend. How can you not know that?"

"What the... I..." he sighed, taking her hand. "Let's... not talk about this in the middle of the path here, okay?" he said, leading her off toward the gardens.

"Didn't we go over this? If I was going to dump you I'd have just done it right then." She could tell that he was pissed off... but by the fact that he wasn't blowing up at her, he didn't seem pissed off at her.

"Do you?" he asked, fixing his eyes on her. "Seriously and honestly, do you?" He... actually seemed to be legitimately asking, and... scared?

"Yeah, a lot of the kids I went to school with were." Rachel said "Ok, granted, they were spoiled little jerks, but these kids...they've been through a lot. Of course they're going to be snots."
