At the Park

[Cora Hendricks]

"And that's nothing!" Cora scoffed. "Why do people always say that!"

[star]

"I don't know. But I think its nothing.", Samantha answered.

[Cora Hendricks]

"Oh, well, I think the same thing. I mean--love manipulation? What is that?" Cora said, standing up and brushing herself off.

Tobias took a casual stroll around the park. The weather was nice. He wore a red t-shirt and jeans. Hands in his pockets, Tobias walked along the park's path by himself.

"Well that's pretty good.", Samantha said. "And your other one...."

[Cora Hendricks]

"Yeah, death sensing thingy," Cora replied, noticing a familiar boy. The boy shuffled down the path, guarded, hands in his pockets. "Hey, do you know him? Is he from school?" she asked, gesturing to the boy, who was approaching us.

[star]

Samantha looked where she was pointing. "Yeah, think so. His names Tobias, if my memory's correct.", she answered.

[†Øߡ§™ Knight]

Tobias continued on his merry way. He was completely unawares of anyone looking at him, pointing at him, or saying his name.

[Cora Hendricks]

"That's what I thought," she commented, wondering what to say next. Her mind turned up blank, however, and she stuck her thumbs in her pocket, the rest of her fingers resting against her hips. "Hmh," she muttered, wondering if Tobias had the guts to come over here.

[star]

"You want to call 'im over?", Samantha asked. "I've got nothing to say, but you can call him over."

[Nefertari Adel]

Nefertari walked to the park, it was a nice day out, and found a group of locals she recognized from a party. She began talking to them and laughing, she was finally in a social mood again.

[Cora Hendricks]

"Not really, I was just making sure that he was from school," she said, shrugging. She kicked up some grass. She wiped her eyes once more, a sudden wave of emotion flowing through her. Cora blinked, making herself smile sightly.

[Aaron Murphy]

Today was a good day for a walk. Although Aaron was by himself, he did not mind. The fresh air and the lack of conversation would allow him to think freely. Aaron put his hands in his pocket, kicking a rock that was in front of his path.

Tobias stopped for a few minutes and enjoyed the warm sunshine. He smiled to himself as he listened to the sounds of the park. His peaceful moment was shattered by the voices of loud, obnoxious teenagers. He looked to his left and saw five boys, roughly his age, on bikes. They were shouting and speeding towards Tobias's position. Tobias took a step to the side of the path to let them pass, but... "Argh!" Tobias was flung to the ground as one of the boys crashed directly into him.

Tobias slowly stood up and brushed himself off as the other four boys spun their bikes around and made their way to their fallen companion's side. "Hey, what's your problem!?" One of the boys shouted at Tobias. Clearly, they were angry. One by one, each boy dismounted. The one on the ground had gotten up by now and joined his friends. They circled around Tobias, menacingly.

"It was his fault," Tobias responded, gesturing to the boy that hit him. He could have easily beaten any of the boys in a one on one fight, but Tobias was severely outnumbered. He gritted his teeth. Blood dripped from a cut on his arm causing Tobias to wince in pain.

[Cora Hendricks]

Cora said her farewell to Samantha and shuffled off down the paths, emotions building up slowly. Her feet rolled over the pebbles that was the dirt path, trying not to break down. She would only talk to someone she knew, like Carson or Artemis.
