So Many Colors -Ally!-

[clair]

"Stupid hair...." Clair muttered to herself as a rather strong wind blew past her, causing her bangs to fall into her bright green eyes. She kind of needed to see for what she was doing. What was she doing you might ask? Why, she was drawing. You needed your eyes to do so when you were sketching the land scape, and it was a beautiful one at that. All the leaves were different colors and slowly making there winding way down to the ground. A perfect picture.

She brushed her annoying bangs to the side before looking down at the sketchbook in her hands once again. She was about half way done.... and it didn't look to bad. She had not gotten a chance to draw in a long while so she had come to the conclusion that she should do so. And here she was, at the lake under a nice shady tree. Not that she needed the shade, it was really chilly outside. At that thought, she zipped up her red and black jacket to keep herself warm. You could not concentrate when you were cold! Everyone knew that.

With a smile tugging at the corner of her lip, she turned back to the pencil in her hand and the paper on her lap. She would finish this up and then head in and go directly down to the kitchens. She would need some hot chocolate after being outside for so long. Little did she know that it might be a little bit before she could go in. Someone would cause the little delay that would keep her from her hot chocolate. How dare they. =]

What was Clair up to? Ally tilted her head this way and that, trying to figure out what the sixth year was drawing. Looked to be the lake.... or the forest. Oh well, it looked good what ever she was sketching. With a sigh, Allison leaned back against the tree trunk. She was currently up in a tree. Yes, in a tree. Right above Clair in fact. She had been watching her friend for a bit but that had grown old now. Maybe she should announce her presence to the girl.

With a grin, Ally threw her legs over the side of the branch and swung backward. "Hiya Clair!" She greeted in a rather cheerful tone. She was looking at the Mihael from an upside down point of view, her legs keeping her from falling off and landing on top of the person below.

[Gah! Shortness, sorry. ]

Clair turned her thoughts from the yummy hot chocolate that she would hunt down later to the paper in hand. She turned her head this way and that, deciding on what to do next to the piece of art. She glanced up once more before touching her pencil back to the paper. She began to sketch lightly again, oblivious to the evil little critter handing above her head.

"Hiya Clair!"

Clair's bright green eyes sudden shone with shock. With a small gasp, her eyes flashed up to see a grinning Ally. As she made an attempt to calm her heart and slow it to a walk, she was also in the process of getting her voice under control. "Ello Allison," She greeted, a smile covering up her surprised expression. Her smile quickly shifted into a grin that mirrored Ally's own. "Do I even want to know why your hanging out of a tree?" She asked, noticing her legs keeping her in place. Clair would have moved quickly out of the way if another person was hanging like that, but Ally had unnatural strength, therefore, she would not easily fall on top of the poor Mihael. Clair's eyes suddenly fell to the pieces of paper in front of her to see that Ally's little prank had caused her hand to draw a large, bold line down her paper. With a moan she leaned her head back against the tree. All that hard work.... "Thanks Ally," She murmured, knowing Allison could hear her.

A short laugh escaped the third years lips as Clair quickly discovered the source of her scare. Little Allison. I wouldn't call her an evil little critter, but she did have fun once in a while scaring people. Clair had just been the most convenient to scare right then. "Hi, Wacha drawing?" She asked, still upside down. Who knew it could be so fun to hang around like this? You should try it sometime.

"Ohhh," Ally said suddenly, catching a glimpse of the nice piece of art. The grin faded and the cheerful note in her voice did as well. "I'm sorry," She apologized sincerely. She had not meant to cause harm. In one sudden movement, she had flipped right side up once more and had swung down to bend down next to Clair who was still leaning against the tree. "Me really sorry," She stated, her hazel eyes shining with meaning. She knew how much Clair loved art, and here she had gone and ruined it. Maybe she was an evil little critter after all.....

"Well..." Clair began, turning her green eyes back to the paper in front of her. "I was drawing the lake. Pretty this time of year, so I thought I would take the opportunity and sketch it." She replied, turning her gaze upward to grin at Allison. Clair knew Ally loved art. Drawing and observing others pieces. "See?" She asked, holding it up for her to see. She frowned as she noticed that Ally was still upside down and the paper was not..... She flipped the notebook around and then continued on smiling. There problem fixed.

"It's fine," Clair said, the smile returning as Ally apologized. "you didn't mean to. I didn't like it very much anyways," She finished, as if she was brushing the whole thing aside. "Glad for you to join me." She added as she noticed that Allison was on her feet again. "Wacha been up to little monkey?" She asked Ally, patting the grass beside her, indicating for the third year to join her.

[icymorpher]

Ally laughed as Clair turned the paper right side up for her. "Oooo, Ahhhh, Pretty," She commented with another grin. It really was a well drawn lake. Very realistic. "Wish I had your artistic abilities..." She admitted as Clair lowered the paper.

Allison's sorry expression soon turned to disproving as she stated that she didn't like what she had just put a lot of effort into. "It's great! What's not to like?" She didn't wait for Clair to respond before she sat down next to her friend at the old girl's invitation. "Me too. Hanging up side down is kinda not my thing," She played along with a short laugh. She was glad to have run into Clair. This was one of her really good friends and she had missed them dearly. Any of her friends really. She had been preoccupied lately and had not gotten a chance to hold a conversation with them.

"Wacha been up to little monkey?

"Eating bananas, swinging from trees, the usual," She replied causally, leaning back against the cold ground. "Nothing really," She modified with a smile in Clair's direction. "Wandering around, meeting new people..." She trailed off with a shrug. "What abouts you?" She asked, turning her hazel eyes to gaze at her.

[clair]

Clair grinned back at Ally at her comment. "Thanks," she replied brightly. She shrugged as Allison stated that she wanted to be artistic like herself. "Your not too bad at all," Clair contradicted, looking up at Ally. "Just some practice and you'll be really good." She added with a happy smile in her direction. Clair did not think that Allison was all that bad. She was fairly good in fact in the Mihael's opinion.

Clair laughed at her statement, "You looked as if you were enjoying yourself up there," She replied, nodding up to the study branches of the tree. She laughed as her eyes fell back upon the third year, "Yeah, all in a hard days work for a monkey," Clair joked nodding as if she understood completely. "I missed you!" She exclaimed, throwing her arms around the girl and giving her a friendly squeeze. She really had missed her. She had been gone and busy, then gone again. Her schedule was about as busy as hers; eating banana's and such.

"Meet anyone interesting?" The sixth year inquired. Clair had not met any of the younger students, at least not lately. How sad. She wanted some new friends too! Making a mental note to do so as soon as she had some time on her hands, she turned her attention to Ally's question. "Nothing much. Catching up with people. Been really busy and all," She added as if that explained why she was so boring lately.
