Watching the Storm

[marissa]

Marissa had been out of it all day. She hadn't been able to concentrate through any of her classes today. Usually when her mind was in such a mess, she would just go for a run and everything would be okay. But today it had been rainy, and she wasn't able to go outside to clear her head. Instead she had been stuck inside her room, doing close to nothing. She knew she seriously needed to get out of her suroundings before she went insane, but she didn't know where to go. I bet the storm would be interesting to watch from the Dallin Tower, she thought to herself. Getting off her bed, she changed into jeans and a white tee. She pulled her hair out of its ponytail, shaking it slightly, and ran down the stairs, heading for the staircase.

It seemed to take forever to climb the spiraling tower. I guess thats probably why its the tallest spiraling tower in the castle, she thought, as she finished the last few steps. It was mostly dark inside the tower, which suprisingly wasn't that creepy. She walked over to one of the large widows that were in the stone walls. Lightning was lighting up the night sky, and the light wind blew her her hair slightly. Smiling, she climbed into the window so she could watch it easier. Storms really were beautiful. Sighing, she pulled her legs closer to her body, just enjoying the view. The sun had just gone down, so she assumed it to be around sevenish. That gave her plenty of time before curfew.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

After all her clases were over Lizzy had decided she should go for a run. Sure it was pouring, but she always loved the rain. After her lovely peaceful run she decided she'd take a walk through the school before cerfew. Sure she was soaked, and her brunette hair was wavier than usual because it was wet, but she didn't mind.

Letting her feet leade her Lizzy re-did her pony tail even though it didn't help much as it didn't calm her waves any. Without noticing her feet carried her to Dallin Tower. Soon she found herself climbing up, up and up. Finally she reached the top and found it oddly dark, but she didn't mind. She was in a really good mood thanks to her run, and so it didn't bother her.

When she reached the top Lizzy saw someone else there. Smiling she wouldn't mind some company. Walking over to the window the girl was at and stood looking out over the grounds, "They're so calming aren't they? Storms that is." she said to the girl smiling.

After a moment or two of silence she decided to introduce herself, "I'm Jade, by the way." she said trying to see if she recognized the girl from anywhere, but she didn't.
