Watching the sun set [Open]

Michelle walked across the grounds heading toward the lake. It had been awhile since she had been out there, and she really felt that she needed to meet new people. She was currently wearing a purple hoodie and black jeans. Her hair had been dyed blonde over the break, after she had decided to try a new look.

Approaching the bank of the lake, Michelle looked around for a few seconds. The sun was starting to set for the day, and it looked beautiful over the lake. Walking toward the edge of the pier, she took a seat and looked out over the lake at the sunset. Why hadn't she sat out at the pier before? It seemed to be much better than sitting by the lakeside.

Soon she heard something snap, and she couldn't help but wonder if someone else was there. Michelle turned her head around to see if anyone had come, but couldn't see anyone right away. Maybe it was just an animal, or it could have been someone walking by. Letting out a soft sigh, she looked back at the sunset.

Violet walked along the lake. The lake had been her favorite place to go to. That was it. She had been to a couple of places too. Since Violet hadn't been able to stay at school for the whole term without having to leave once in a while, she hadn't gotten a chance to go to much places.

There was a pier not too far from the tree that Violet enjoyed sitting at so she decided to check out what was there. Were there people there that swim. But she doubted that. During this time of the year, no one would surely do that now. She had heard though that her cousin had once tried to cross the lake by freezing it. How unbelievable.

Crack. Violet had stepped on a branch as she was passing through but the girl had paid little attention to it. It was just a branch after all.

Michelle turned around deciding to see if anyone was in fact around her. After all she hadn't really paid much attention to the area after the branch had cracked. She soon noticed another girl who was behind her, and gave a small friendly smile.

"Hi, I'm guessing that was you who stepped on the branch earlier." she said kindly. It wasn't really a big deal, on whether the the girl stepped on the branch or not, more like just a little check to see if her suspicions were correct. "If you want to sit on the pier feel free to too. I was just watching he sun set, so you don't have to worry about bothering me."

Violet looked behind her and then at the girl. Had the branch made so much noise after all? she thought to herself. Violet hadn't thought that much of the branch and the noise it would make. Next time she knew that she should notice those kinds of things. One never knew who might be there. It was a good thing though that the person who found Violet is another girl who goes to their school?

"Hi" Violet said to her and smiled. "Yeah...that was me. Sorry..." she said to the girl and looked around her again. A small breeze passed by and Violet shivered a little even though she was not that cold. She walked over the girl and sat down close by. "Isn't it nice how the sun hits the lake?" she asked out of random. "Im Violet by the name. Fifth year Ravenclaw" Violet told her.

Michelle smiled as the girl apologized. "Don't worry about it. It's surprising a branch could snap so loudly." she said laughing softly.

She looked at the girl as she had sat down nearby, and soon heard her ask a random question. "Yeah, it's very nice. This is probably the best place to watch it because of that fact." Michelle replied turning to face the sunset. "Nice to meet you Violet. I'm Michelle Hanley, a 6th year Hufflepuff."

[invisible729]

Violet smiled at the girl and nodded. The pier is the best place to watch the sunset. The lake is a pretty nice place to watch it too but you can't really see the sun the way you do in the pier.

Violet looked around her before looking back at the lake, making sure that she wouldn't exactly look at the sun and accidentally blind herself. Violet thought of something to ask Michelle but the usual 'what brought you here' was obvious.

"So how's school been?" was what she asked. That was the best question she could think of for the moment. Really, Violet did not know what to say.

[michellehanley]

Michelle stared out toward the sunset, wondering what exactly had made her come out here. Well, it didn't matter anyways, and she shook the thoughts out of her head. Hearing Violet ask her how school was going so far, Michelle sighed lightly. So far, the term seemed to be fairly boring for her but it was still going on fairly well.

"It's been fine, although sometimes it can get a bit boring." she said smiling. "How's it been for you so far?" Yeah, she had asked the same question back to Violet, but to be honest she couldn't really think of anything else to say.

[invisible729]

Violet nodded at Michelle's answer. School could be boring sometimes. Violet guess that the first term is like the most exciting term for most people, or would it be the last term? She does not really know but its either one.

On the first term, a person is just knew to the school and is just exploring around, wandering where things are and such. As the term passes, everything feels the same and the work, well the work could be a lot sometimes and times at the school does get boring once in the while. The final year, that is something that Violet is not sure about. But it would be exciting since one would be moving from the school to facing the big world out there.

"School's been alright" Violet said to her. "So what's up?" she asked.
