Courage (med-adv rper's please)

[Jodi Peterson]

Jodi was feed up. With herself. It seemed that every time she tried to talk to a boy it was as if she'd swallowed her own tongue. Only a weird person would do something so stupid. She wouldn't be surprised if rumors flew around the school that the 'head girl was a fidget'. Of course, being fidget could be alright... to a point. But unfortunately for Jodi, it was not alright in this case.

Think of it like this. You're walking down a school corridor, not a care in the world, and out of no where comes a cute looking guy. You've never seen him before in your life, and wouldn't even know his name. He smiles, and walks past you to his posse of male friends. As he walks off with his blokes, he turns around to get a last glimpse of you.

Now, considering that situation, how would you react? Smile to yourself, knowing you just got checked out. Or, would you turn around and try to walk sexy, tripping over your own feet and landing with your bum on the ground. Of course, most people would chose the first of the options. Not our special little Jodi. She took the latter. Poor girl.

So now Jodi was sitting by the lake with her head in her hand. She would be a virgin until the day she died, that she was certain of. Jodi could do with a little more confidence but from every angel that Jodi looked at, she was damn right stuck. She couldn't approach a guy because she would swallow her tongue. She couldn't wait until a man talked to her either, because she'd do the same thing. A thought floated into Jodi's head. She could always date a deaf guy.

As Jodi sat pondering her helpless situation, time seemed to sit still. What felt like hours, was only a few minutes. This wasn't a bad thing for Jodi, she needed all the time she had to try and muster herself out of this mess. It was possible that however much time she had, she would never change. If only she could boost her courage somewhat. Then she could conquer the world. Maybe the whole universe.

A thought often crossed Alexander Heartbreakers mind.
Why he come to a place so absurd? Where people were in their own little worlds, ignoring those around them. Maybe it was for the best in some situations, including Alex's who was....diffrent then the rest. In good ways, and in many bad ways too. Never would he talk to someone unless talked to first, unless it was to mock someone, which he longer really did since he had grown out of that childish phase.

Stepping out of the damp Potions classroom he proceeded to the outside where the true 'fresh' air was. The soft breeze suddenly hit him as he stepped out, blowing his dark brown hair and making his crystal blue eyes water ever so slightly.

Stepping down from the marble stairs, he realised he had no clue where he was heading. Stoping in his own tracks he blinked and stared around him. A sudden light feeling of anger passing through him as he realised how he had not even noticed where he had been walking all along, his thoughts guiding him outside, maybe it was just simple insinct. He sighed.

Books still in hand, uniform still worn he walked slowly down towards the lake, the one place he spent most of his time at, it was so peaceful to watch, and blocking out everyone around him when he was there, was so easy.

His walk was graceful and it seemed like his feet barely even touched the soft grass below him, the only way of knowing he was walking by was by the whispering rustle of the grass he stepped on. There was only one person at the place of which he was heading, he didnt mind too much today though, he was in a calm enough mood. He smiled slight as he sensed her being angry, as if, arguing with herself mentally. He decided to tease her just a little bit.
"Arguing with yourself is a great idea. You always win"He spoke with his soft gentle velvet voice to this girl. Realising that he had just spoken to a complete stranger, like a hypocrite. Maybe it was just because he couldnt resist such a good situation to start a conversation about.

His blue eyes studied her as she sat there, he stood over her watching, a small smile creeping on his pale lips.
