[marissa]

Marissa had been so swamped with homework and classes that she hadnt had time to do anything she actually wanted to do. Which to her was a horrible shame. There had been no time to skip randomly through the corridors to see who or what she could find. She had been practically running down the trying to get threw all the other students, who like her were all trying to get to their classes on time. Not only had she been busy lately, but lonely. Even though Marissa was extremely outgoing, it seemed nobody here had time for her.

Today was one of the few days that she hadnt had homework, and she was going to take advantage of it. Marissa had quickly gotton out of bed and changed into regular clothes. Those robes were quite annoying as well. She put on a pink tee with a small black hummingbird on the left shoulder, a pair of jeans, and pink flip flops. After running a brush threw her slightly wavy blonde hair, she headed out towards the staircase.

It seemed that there were many other people with the same idea as herself. As she made her way out to the lake, she took a deep breath of fall air. The leaves on the trees were starting to change slightly, and the air seemed to have a crispness to it. The sun was shining, and there was just enough breeze to keep you from being hot. There were pretty, fluffy, white clouds drifting by in the sky. Finding a nice place in teh grass close to the lake edge, Marissa layed down on her back and looked up at the clouds. She had always loved doing this.

Taylor Mendez is, by nature, an optimist. It takes little to put her in a good mood, and little to ruin it, as well. However, one of her many favorite things was Autumn. It was the perfect weather, aside from its' casual breezy days, and the colors... the colors.Taylor smiles, knowing that if anything, the Lake would be the perfect view to see the trees, their seasonal change, and get a feel for the new season. She hums, and it's like a praise.

Walking in casual steps, the young Slytherin dressed in a white hoodie, which is too long in the arms and therefore, the tips of her fingers are the only things visible, a pair of jeans, and her clogs. Nothing too observant, or flashy in this case, but casual defined Autumn, or so she thought. Taylor pushes the door open to outside the grounds of the castle, and immediately, her senses are filled of October. Spices, fresh air, cool and clean, and nature itself. She smiles, eyes closing, when a bitter wind decides to take its' toll and whip bye. Hair whipping around her, she takes the spare hair tie around her wrist, and pulls back, long, brunette hair, into a messy bun. It'd have to do.

Honey Brown - Green eyes flicker down towards the Lake, taking in her surroundings. She happens to spot another student down towards the lake. Taylor grins, walking towards her, "Hey. Do you mind if I join you?" she asks.

Ooo..there goes a llama!!! Marissa thought as she continued to look up at the clouds floating by. She remembered when she was a little girl she would lay in a open field with her mother and they would always yell out a figure they saw. It was times like now that Marissa really missed her mother, and wished she was still alive. If she has allowed herself to, she could have let the tears that began welling in her eyes to stream down her face. But she heard footsteps approaching, and decided against it.

Looking over towards the steps, she smiled at a girl who looked to be around her own age. "Yeah, you can join me." she said with a friendly smile. "I'm just watching the clouds." she added looking back up at the sky. "I'm Marissa by the way."

Smiling at the girl, she was glad that she didn't mind that she had joined her. Taylor sat down on the ground that was across from her.I'm just watching the clouds. I'm Marissa by the way..Taylor smiled, sticking out a small hand to the girl. "Taylor Mendez, second year Slytherin," she said, getting three main introductions out of the way at once.

"So what year are you in?" Taylor asked her curiously, trying to spring up a conversation. She ran her finger down her own arm. Scratching her arm as she talked with the girl.Taylor was just so glad to finally meet someone else. And to looks of it, they seemed to accept her. Taylor was still getting used to people not being mean and cruel to her. So this was a nice change.

Marissa raised up on one elbow and shook the girls hand in return. So she was a second year as well. Oh goody! "It's very nice to meet you missus Taylor." she said with a cheery smile, now resting on both of her elbows. Marissa noticed that there seemed to be a lot of people around teh castle that were her age. For some reason she just hadn't met many of them. It was slightly odd....

Absent-mindedly twirling a piece of her blonde hair around her finger, she answered the girl. "I'm a second year Ravenclaw." she said still smiling. Marissa smiled a lot...and sometimes she wasn't sure why. Maybe it was out of habit. "So, do you know many people here yet?" she asked curiously. This was something that had been bugging Marissa. She was a very friendly, outgoing person, yet she didn't have many friends here still. Maybe this girl, taylor, would have some insight to the problem.
