I will try to find my place llGreggll

[kailynn]

Bored out of her mind, Kailynn headed out to the lake. It was a nice, warm day, perfect for swimming. Too bad they weren't allowed to swim in the lake, or she would've jumped in. At least, that's what she told herself. In real life, she would've been too afraid of getting her foot caught on something and drowning. Or somthing similar. Being blind had it's disadvatages. Actually, it had a lot of them.

She could hear the birds chirping happily, which cheered her up slightly. She enjoyed listening to the birds. Kail decided to go out onto the peir. It'll be fun! she told herself, though she doubted it. But as she approached the pier, she got distracted by the birds again, causing one foot to splash into the ice cold water. Kail jumped back in surprise, her foot soaking wet. The Hufflepuff giggled, unbelieving she'd just walked into the lake. She sat down at the water's edge and took off her wet shoe, letting it dry in the sun. she continued to listen to the birds chirp their beautiful song.[/size]

Gregg headed down to the lake to catch some fresh air. He was trying not to think about his hurting arm. It still bandaged from yesterdays misadventure in the forbidden forrest. The word forbidden however ment nothing to Gregg. He was a rebel in fact and probably always would be. As he reached the main corridor he noticed something was out of place. However he didn't want to take the time to stop and figure out what this probably small change was. Gregg had always had always noticed things out of place.

Beginning to get near the lake he began picking up pace as he realized someone was walking towards the water. It didn't look like she was planning so much on stopping. Her foot went into the water however she quickly pulled it out. What was going through her mind right now any ways? The freezing cold water on this damp day couldn't possibly bring anyone joy. He hurried down and sat quietly next to her trying not to disturb her moment of peace. "Hey" he said in his somewhat husky voice.

[kailynn]

Kailynn nearly jumped out of her skin when a voice sounded next to her. She took a deep breath and laughed. "Hi," she managed to get out in between giggles. That's what I get for listening to the birds she thought to herself. She had a huge grin on her face that wouldn't disappear, even though her foot was still a little cold. All she had been able to tell about the person sitting next to her was that he was a guy. Not much of a help.

"My name's Kailynn, or Kail. I respond to both." Her unseeing eyes stared out at the lake, seeming to be taking in the beauty of it, though she really wasn't. She was still enjoying the birds. "What's your name?" She crossed her legs so she was sitting indian style on the soft grass. She loved being outside more than inside. It was so much more calm and relaxing.[/size]

[greggeender]

Gregg laughed and watched her mouth turn into a big grin. "Gregg" Gregg wasnt completely new hear and he thought he knew what kind of person Kail was. Gregg wasn't one to stereotype, but he had a feeling about her. She seemed like the kind of girl who was carefree and did things just to do them, not because she was told to. he watched her for a second as she gazed out at the lake. He wasn't quite so sure what she was looking at.

[kailynn]

Kailynn nodded as he said his name. Gregg. She liked that name, and didn't know anyone else at Trio's with it. Then again, she didn't know hardly anyone at Trio's Hogwarts. She suddenly realized that he probably thought she was extremely weird, appearing to be staring at something for all this time. She could feel his questioing glance at her, and she decided to go ahead and tell him. The worst he could do was make fun of her.

The thing was, she wasn't exactly sure how to say it. Kailynn couldn't just say 'I'm blind' or he would think she was insane and random. She was random, but still. She didn't want him to think of her as a freak. She finally decided to just say it. "You're probably wodnering why I'm staring at nothing, right?" She didn't wait for him to answer before continuing. "Well, I'm blind. Sorry if it sounds really random, but just so you don't think I'm too much insane." She held her breath, waiting for his response.[/font][/size]

[greggeender]

Gregg continued to look at her. She finnaly began to talk. However the words that came out of her mouth were surprising and shocking. Although those might mean the same thing Gregg felt both somehow diferently.All he could do was reply." I uh," All he could do was mumble."I'm so sorry" he almost whispered. "However since were trying to be honest here I feel theres something I must tell you." He couldnt beleive exactly what he was doing he couldnt remember a time he had told what he was about to tell her to any one else. But somehow he felt he could trust her.

[kailynn]

Kailynn silently sighed with relief. the boy hadn't made fun of her. too bad he actually felt sorry for her. That wasn't what she had wanted but before she could tell him that, he told her that he needed to tell her something. Kailynn's eyes widened, surprised that he was about to share something with her. Then again, it could've just been about soemthing random. But something made her feel like it wasn't, like it was something that actually had a point to it.

Kail gave a small smile. He'd stopped, not quite telling her what he was about to say. She didn't want to rush him. After a moment she replied. "Well, there was no need to be sorry. I've been this way since I was born, so I'm used to it. And you can trust me, even if we did just meet a minute ago." She always kept secrets. She hated it when people would say they wouldn't tell anyone and before long, the whole world knew. She never wanted to do tat to anyone.[/font][/size]

[greggeender]

Gregg took a breathe and began."Thanks, I thought so, and dont worry i'll try not to treat you any differently, antually now and again you might find me playing a few pranks." Gregg laughed a little to himself."O.k. well when I was a little younger but not to much actually a year before I came to hogwarts my sister, Miley, and my brother, Josh and I were taking our dog, Slick for a short walk around the park. It was dark but my brother and I werent one to be scared. We headed around the corner, and what we saw next surprised us. A vampire, eating another human. My sister started crying so My brother and I tried greatly to comfort her. The monster slowly walked towards us. He wasnt hungry any longer but only wanted to see us in pain. He bit us. All three of us and then simply walked away. We all moved up to Alaska where we could learn to control ourselves, away from civilization." Gregg paused for a short moment hoping she wasn't completely horrified. The whole time just staring out at the lake. " So there you have it, I'm a vampire. If you want to run away screaming, Trust me I will truly understand." He waited for her response and prepared to sit alone.

[kailynn]

Kailynn queitly listened to his story, trying to keep how shocked she was from showing on her face. She hadn't met a vampire before, and was still getting used to the idea that there really were such things. She was a Muggleborn, so she had a lot to try and learn, take in, and accept about this whole place, and that included remembering that vampires and werewolves really did exist. It made her a little nervous to be sitting next to him, but she listened to his story all the way through.

After he finished, Kailynn put a look of terror on her face and jumped up. "Oh my! Get away from me!" she yelled and started to run in the direction of the school. After a few mroe steps she stopped running and started laughing. She loved playing jokes on people. She gave him a warm smile. "Just kidding!" She headed back towards him with a grin on her face. "That's just so that I could get the first joke on you, since you can get me easily enough," she said, playfully. She sat back down next to him.[/font][/size]

[greggeender]

Gregg shuddered a little when Kail got up and started running away. When she turned around however well he wasnt expecting that. He watched her as she seemed to be floating back towards him a smile on her face. He smiled. Even though she couldnt see it it was so warm she could probably feel it. He laughed. "Well I guess I should be prepared for the next prank I suppose?" He chuckled and glanced back at her.

[kailynn]

Kailynn could feel teh warmth of his smile all around her. She couldn't help but give a small laugh. "Well, I'm not very good at them, but just to be on the safe side, you probably should. I guess that means I probably sould be ready too, huh?" She tried to be ready in case he tried anything, but she knew he would get her no matter what. She fell for any prank, whether it was beilievable or not.[/font][/size]

[greggeender]

Gregg loved her laugh it was like the sweet sound of fall. "So, pranks are acceptable we've got that covered, but how about this." Gregg smiled and reached over to tickle Kail's side. He chuckled because he was getting the second prank on her. More of fun then a prank however.

[kailynn]

Kailynn wasn't expecting what came next. She was about to ask what he wanted to know was acceptable when she found out. He started to tickle her. Kailynn started laughing. "Okay, okay, cut it out!" she replied while laughing. She fell over backwards, still laughing, trying to get him to stop. Her dad always surprised her by doing that, so it would just be like being at home again. Only Gregg wasn't her dad...

Kail managed to sit back up. "That's not fair! You can surprise tickle me but I can't surprise tickle you!" she teasingly replied. She needed to figure out a way to get him back. But how? Her mind was blank, having no ideas. I'll think of something eventually she decided. Well, at least I hope I do... A smile was etched in her face, like always.[/font][/size]

[greggeender]

Gregg chuckled and Kail fell backwards but he didnt let up. Finally he got up and put on a serious tone. "So miss. Kailynn Mandella. May I please have this dance." He couldn't help but laugh again and he stood up taking her hand to help her up with him.

[kailynn]

Kailynn snorted as Gregg called her miss. She didn't really act like a mature woman, which is what most people intend when they call people that. She listened to what he said without any other interuptions, though. She just sat there for a moment after he asked her to dance. She didn't have time to protest before he helped her up. Startled, she just stood there. "There isn't any music. Besides, I'm a horrible dancer." She thought it was pretty random of him to ask.[/font][/size]

[greggeender]

"Well I guess we'll just have to make our own." He smiled "Think of a song any song you like." He waited for a reply. "And as you probably noticed, I happen to be a very random person." Gregg laughed and placed her arm on his shoulder. He was ATTEMPTING to teach her the waltz.

[kailynn]

Kailynn tried to think of a song she liked. "Well, I don't know... You pick." She couldn't think of any decent songs at the moment, and she didn't care what song they danced to anyways. She let Gregg place her hand on his shoulder, and smiled. She was having a pretty good day, now that she made a friend. "Don't worry about it, I'm a pretty random person as well." It was true. She could be random at times.[/size][/font]

[greggeender]

Gregg began to lead not being able to think up a song yet. Perhaps one by Gerschwin. He silently hummed as he lead her in the waltz. This went on for maybe 3 minutes untill the song was over. It was a song he knew by heart. He laughed a little. "Hey uh maybe you want to go to the maze?"

[kailynn]

Kailynn giggled as he started to lead. She must've stepped on his toes at least ten times before the song was over, but she still had fun. After a few minutes, he stopped, and she stopped a moment later, a grin on her face. She wasn't a good dancer, but it didn't mean it wasn't fun. "Hey uh maybe you want to go to the maze?" Kailynn shrugged, then after a moment nodded. She couldn't get any more lost in there than she currently was outside. "Why not?"[/font][/size]

[greggeender]

ooc: u wanna make a new thread at the maze?
