The Roof, Wednesday Evening

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

After glancing out her dorm window a few times, she decided she should probably get out more. She took a small umbrella, in case of rain, and headed up to the roof. She's not been up here much, the view is nice... the island is really lovely... and the ocean was so vast.. it almost took her breath away. Or it could be the chilled wind that just hit her. She curled up and took a seat on the edge of the roof. She's engrossed in reading Catch 22.

For the second time that day, Billy made his way to the roof. "Hi." he greeted the seated figure.

"Hi there." She shut her book with a smile. "I think we've met. You're Billy right?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"That's possible." he said. "Yeah I'm billy. And you're...I want to say, Millie?"

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Matilda actually. But that's close enough." She grins.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Matilda. Dang, right sorry."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"You can call me Millie if it's easier to remember." She chuckles.

"It is fewer syllables." He agreed, smiling slightly. "So is there a prediction of rain that I didn't hear?" he asked, pointing to the umbrella.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Well. It's cloudy. Who knows. I'd always say better safe than sorry. I wouldn't want my poor book getting all wet." She nods.

"Good reason." Also Billy thought, it looked, rather pleasant, as if it were the next best thing to it actually raining. "What're you reading?"

Hikaru had fallen asleep doing some homework and Kaoru had felt that it was one of those days he needed a good breather. What brought him to the roof, he wasn't really sure except that it seemed like the perfect place to clear one's mind for a few minutes.

He stepped slowly toward the edge of the roof, paying no mind to the dark figure under the umbrella. It wasn't out of disrespect, he just didn't figure on staying for long and bothering someone who'd come before him.

The seated figure reached to take his hand.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Once fingers brushed his skin he tensed and drew his hand back out of instinct, his heart racing a little. "Oh! Mattie! I didn't notice who was under that umbrella." He'd been rather absorbed in the feeling of the light rain on his face and hadn't been expecting a sudden bit of contact.

"We can share if you want." She smiles and peeks from underneath.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

A glance around before he sat down seemed to be in order. "Sure.."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

She holds the umbrella over them both. "So.. what brings you up here?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

He sighed a little, holding his feet out straight to look at his gistening shoes, "Just needed a bit of air. A break from thinking." He glanced over to her. "You?"

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

She leans a little closer. It's only because she wants to be more under the umbrella. Really. "I was just reading."

John stumps his way up to the roof, intending to get his brood on.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

A book floats over and taps him lightly over the head.

JOhn whipped around, dropping into a defensive stance, using the cane as a crutch. "THe hell?" As the adrenaline jolt went away, he winced.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Chill out John. It's me." She calls from where she's sitting. "What happened to you?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Bullets for Naida. Sorry."
He limps closer.
"WHy are you sitting in the rain?"

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"I'm reading. I'm usually all cooped up in my room so I decided I needed some air."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Y'know, books and water aren't always hte bst of friends."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"I'm well aware actually. That's why I brought the umbrella."
