Of all the places in the world he identified most with at the moment, Stonehenge would be it. Brad was just so confused about what was going on in his life, that the mystery the rock formation had seemed like what was going on inside himself. Through broken conversations of the hallways, Brad heard rumors of the room that would take you anywhere. He wanted to find it.

And sure enough he did.

Managing to open the door, Brad found himself in the lush green grass of a Stonehenge sunset. No one around, the silence was not deafening, but almost filled him with awe. The place was awesome, and the mystery of the past was held in a permanent structure. Sitting down in the center of the circle, he looked around himself at the boulders. The small, insignificance he had felt the past few days seemed to multiply as he sat there. He found questions of why his life was hitting a new low, and how could he go back to 'normal', whatever that was.

He knew he just wanted to be able to reach out to Lizzy, to touch her, to help her, but she had to trust him. Without that, Brad was off beat, more so than the changes would have caused him to be. At the moment, he felt as if no one needed him, nor cared about him. Failure was the overall mood he was in, and somehow, sitting in the grass caused him to be numb to the failure he felt. He wanted to hold onto that feeling for a few moments, before the air got to chilled for his taste.

[Akasha Williams]

*Shay had just gotten back to the school, from the break.She had been gone for over two terms.Due to having to help her family.The only good things that came out of it.Was that her sister Shauna was with her.Her sister Ashaunta was with her.Before they left, Her best friend Lizzy, each gave her and Ashaunta nicknames.Ashaunta's was now call Shauna.And Akasha was called Shay.In fact Shay loved the nickname, because it suited her to a T.She noticed as she arrived at the school.There were a lot of new students here at the school,since she had gotten back.Were any of her close friends still here?*


*So far Shay only knew that Shauna was here, because her sister came with her.So she went on her way to her dorm so she could get unpacked.As she entered her dorm.Shay saw it was just how she left it.Shay smiled.This place to her was home.Something very rare for her indeed.After she was unpacked and everything set like she wanted.Shay then left a small note on Shauna's bed next to hers.Saying she would be back, and went to go for a walk around the school to get adjusted again.As she set out of her dorm in , a pair of black jeans with a red tank top.With thin sharps and left her long black hair down.Shay was trying to think on where she wanted to go to.If there was a place in school, that she hasn't been yet to.The first thing that she really wanted to do.Was to find her best friend Lizzy.*


*She knew that Lizzy must have been worried about her, since she had to leave her friend.Now Shay was going to find her and explain about her sudden absence.Family problems.Although Shay had wrote Lizzy a few times while she was gone.But she also didn't say why she left, only she would be back very sooner, she hoped.Shay tried to think of places her friend Lizzy would be.She tried all the towers and there was no sign of Lizzy.Then she went to look almost almost over the school looking for the girl.After almost giving up hope to find her friend.Shay came a cross a area she hasn't been to before.Maybe Lizzy would be around here in this part.The Wandering Room.Shay looked around at the new setting.Where was this place? Then something got her attention.It was a door that was left open just a little bit.Shay tilted her head to the side to study it.Who would leave a door open?Lizzy?The only way to find out was to go see.*


*She walked toward the door then tried to look in.he couldn't see anything, so she walked in further.To her surprise there was grass with a sunset.But the boy sitting int he circle caught her attention.She knew him.Brad.Shay closed the door quietly as to not startle him.Then after that,she walked over closer to where he was sitting at.Once she was close enough to him.Shay then spoke to him."Why hello Brad.Long time no see from you.I was looking for Lizzy and I find you.How have you been doing?".Shay smiled.She was indeed looking for her friend Lizzy.But Brad was also a best friend to her too.And when she saw he turned around.Shay noticed he didn't look so much . like the Brad she knew.Always smiling and glowing.Shay knew Lizzy did that to him.But the guy sitting in front of her seemed... cold or distant.That was new.So Shay waited for him to answer her back.*

Only after Akasha finished speaking did Brad turn to face her. As soon as their eyes met, he knew she sensed the difference as well. For a few seconds, he just stared at her, holding onto the numbness before leaving it with words and conversation. Looking down to his hands, Brad sighed, knowing that Akasha was probably confused.

"I saw her the other day. She gave me that same look of shock at the change I went through." He said, surprising himself at how flat his voice was. Standing up, he shrugged. "And honestly, I haven't been that great at all." The numbness was still there, and he hated how there was nothing but driness in his voice. No emotion what so ever.

Looking down to his hands again, he shook his head at himself. "How've you been?" He finally asked her, some interest managed to show in his voice, but not much.
