Smiling to herself as the ocean's breeze kissed her exposed skin. Taking a deep breath, the girl enjoyed the aroma of the salt water. The sounds of the sea birds as they swooped and glided along the winds hunting for the small fish that skimmed the surface of the water not far off shore. The breaking of the waves along the sand, as the white foam rushed upwards towards her. Taking her shoes and socks off, Maggie placed them next to her small backpack. Tipping her head side to side, she popped a few of the vertebrae in her neck to loosen it up. Then bent at the waist and wrapped her arms around her legs. Counting to ten as she kept her torso parallel to her legs. After the count, she slowly stood straight once more. Turning to face her left, Maggie began a jog down the beach. As she got about twenty yards, she broke into a sprint. After that short burst of speed, she slowed to a stop and turned to face the way she had come. And began a run back towards the spot where she left her backpack. Sprinting passed, Maggie ran thirty yards the other way. And like the previous sprint, turned and ran back to stop next to her stuff. Walking in a circle, she relaxed her breathing. Hands on hips, Maggie stood next to her backpack and stared out at the water again. Bending to pick up the pack, she produced a bottle of water which she took a few sips. Closing the cap, she placed the bottle back into the pack and sat down. Digging her feet into the sand, Maggie wrapped her arms around her legs as she brought her knees slightly upwards to her chest. Resting her chin upon her knees, the blond wished she could have wings like those birds. Wings so she could fly away somewhere, anywhere beautiful.

All summer for once a day per week Ashley would take a long walk to the beach and walk along its many trails. The gentle sound of waves crashing onto the beach helped sooth her fragile nerves. She loved her family, she really did it was just...she could only be around them for only so long. Today had turned into one of those days. Her mom had asked for help with a program on the computer Ashley had tried to help as best as she could. Ended up being not the best of help though since she told her mom to try this or that and would completely ignore her. The situation had ended in an argument with Ashley walking out of the room and eventually out of the house. It was turning out to be a nice summer day, a little hot; a cool ocean breeze cooled her warm skin. Smiling briefly at those who walked past her Ashley finally felt the built up frustration inside her ebb away. A welcome feeling she walked at a leisurely pace enjoying the scenery. It was one thing not lacking on the beach. The water glistened with the brightness of the sun. It was also an excellent place to people watch another of Ash's secret pastimes. Only the beach was more interesting then other spots. The majority of people on the beach did not fully look real which was probably true how many of the buff men or slender women had work done or where on something to make them look like the way they did. Ok so most of the guys were fake that didn't mean it was a bad thing to look right? Looking about Ashley's eyes stopped on a young blond girl who m she had walked past before and each time knew she had seen her before. After a time Ashley had decided she must have seen the girl from school, even with deciding that it had not lessened her curiosity of knowing for sure. She watched the girl for a moment who was sitting in the sand thinking of something attentively. Forcing herself to gain the courage and ask and no longer left curious Ashley. Headed off of the trail and stopped within a few feet of the girl. Clearing her throat she licked at her dry lips before speaking "Umm excuse me I have a really silly question to ask. Do you attend school at to Phoenix High?"

The only thing she did notice was the tickling sensation of her hair against her cheek from the wind playing through it. Still watching the sea birds, Maggie brushed the strands of hair from her face. The shadow that fell upon her made her glance upwards quickly. The girl was standing there waiting for the answer to the question that had hit her ears but did not register at first. "Huh? Oh! yes, yes I do go to Phoenix High." Although the girl asked the question and maybe through some circumstance may have known Maggie from school, the blond had no clue as to whom this was. Try as she might, Maggie could not place the name nor the face. "Do you go to Phoenix high as well? I'm trying to figure out if I've seen you before or not. And sorry to say, it isn't ringing any bells with me." Maggie admitted. Feeling a bit guilty as to having any clue at all who this girl was, Maggie decided to just play the cards dealt to her. " Did we have a class together?"

Posts: 114 08/15/07 17:33:39	Feeling slightly stupid for interrupting the girls thought Ashley wanted to run off and pretend she had not bugged her in the first place. At least she know knew where she had probably seen the girl from at least her curious mind now had an answer. It just was she had not thought that after getting the answer she would have to continue the conversation. Also it seemed she had no idea at all who Ashley was. Which was normal, she was a wallflower and did her very best to stay hidden in the cloud. Preferring to be a quiet observer she rarely left a big impression. Part of her wanted it that way, but another part hated it with a passion. It left her with little friends and on her own a lot. Thinking on her question Ashley shook her head negatively. No she doubted the two had class together it was more likely she had seen the girl in class. Ashley was not the best at a lot of things but she was good at remembering a face. "Class? No I don't think so. Think I 've seen you manly in passing. Ummm sorry for bugging you." Ashley was ready to bolt she figured she was bothering her and thats the last thing Ashley wnated to do.

The girl was obviously uncomfortable with the situation they were now in. "Oh hey, you didn't bother me at all." Maggie said with a warm smile. " Normally people don't talk to me." It was true. Maggie had no real friends since that day her secret went public. Solo was the way she ran and it was good to the point where she found strength inside herself to see things through regardless of being alone. And today, at this moment she didn't want to be alone. Here was a potential friend for her and she was going to take this opportunity. " Well since we are talking here might as well introduce ourselves." The blond spoke as she stood up, dusted the sand off herself and held her hand out to the girl before her. "My name is Magdelena, Magdelena Vaughn. But you can call me Maggie."

Knowing the truth of it Ashley hated people saw her like that and wished it would be otherwise. Just it was not easy breaking being shy; it was a part of who she was. Take that away wand what would she be? Truly she did not know but it would not be her. She watched the blond stand up and held out her hand to Ashley. Taking it she smiled at Maggie. "I'm Ashley, Ashley Vae and a few call me Ash but most call me well Ashley.." She dug into the sand with one foot a nervous habit of her she figured it would only be polite to keep the conversation going "what grade you going to be in? I'll be a senior…really scary concept."

Watching Ashley fidget in the sand with her foot, Maggie suppressed a laugh. Instead she settled for an even bigger smile. What a wonderful surprise this chance happening for her. Finally someone who didn't know about her, although in time she would have to tell Ashley if their friendship lasted that long. And to do that, Ashley would never meet Brittany before Maggie could bring the subject up. Maggie let that laugh she held back escape her at Ashley's comment. " I'll be a senior as well." The blond admitted. And come to think of it, it definitely was a scary concept. the final year in a teens school life. Then it was out in the real world, fending for ones self. " You know? It really is a scary thought. Once we graduate, its 'welcome to our world kiddies'." Giving a small whistle, Maggie lofted her eyebrows. " Yup, very scary thought." Reaching down, Maggie grabbed her small backpack and shouldered it over her right. "Hey, I was about to get a bite to eat." Shrugging her shoulders, Maggie gave Ashley a grin. " Wanna come with?"

Ash felt more like a kid then ever before and the idea of having to go beyond High school, to college or work was a daunting idea indeed. One Ashley was not fully ready to think about. Well she had a year before she needed to fully dwell on it. Now she needed to only focus on surviving one more year. That in itself would be daunting . Already she had decided she hated High School, but the idea of being out it was an even scarier concept. Maggie's question surprised Ashley and caused her to dig her foot into the sand even more. It wasn't she that the idea was a scary one to her it was just..no one had asked her to do that whom as not family. Matter of fact she was hungry, very hungry. After the fight with her mom she had left without eating any breakfast. Shrugging her shoulders to the question her head tilted slightly to the side "Get something to eat? Sure why not I'm hungry." She had a little money on her enough to get a burger or something from one of the many little dinky food stands littering the beach. And it would overall be good for her. Having been told many times by her family that she should get out more make friends, fine she'd do it and it'd be an excuse for why she had been gone so long. though no matter what she knew she'd be getting some kind of annoyed lecture when she returned home. No matter. "Got a place in mind?"

Maggie answered as she shouldered her little backpack. giving a waving gesture which said 'follow me', she led the way back to her BMW. It was a nice metallic blue, a royal blue to be exact. With tinted windows and fancy rims. Not the ones you would see on those custom cars in low rider shows, but ones you'd see on some street racer. But for Maggie, the car was just to look at, nothing more. The drive was not that far. and the place was not a burger joint or hot dog stand as Ashley may have thought. It was a ritzy place called Sea breeze where a person could easily spend around twenty-five dollars for a meal. And that wasn't even the steak entre'. Maggie could tell her company was not expecting this at all. "Hey, don't worry 'bout it. It's all covered okay?" Maggie assured her with a smile. Maggie invited her, so she would be buying. Plus this establishment served the best meals she'd ever had. "Come on, it'll be fun." Exiting the car, Maggie slid on a pair of black fitted excersize pants with white stripes down the sides as well as a matching zipper top she grabbed from the back seat. "They kind of get upset if you show up in shorts and a sports bra." The blond said with a laugh. Taking her small backpack, Maggie jerked her head towards the door. "This place has the best BLT, I swear."

Posts: 114 09/17/07 17:43:35	Following Maggie Ashley did all she could to hide the amaze on her face as the two approached the car the girl was driving. The BMW was a nice dark blue, one of the colors Ashley really liked and id she could have it as the color of a car she would one day own. But having no car of her own and only the occasional occasions of being able to borrow her parents' car. It would be a long time before she could point to a car and yup thats mine. No matter she made due with what she had, what else could she do? "Nice car, I like the color." The place Maggie took them to is what surprised Ashley the very most. Passing the place many times she had never eaten at the Sea Breeze nor had she ever thought she would ever be eating at a place like that. Well guess thats what she got for thinking it. She wanted to protest but she could tell by the look on Maggie's face Ashley knew there was no way it would work. "They kind of get upset if you show up in shorts and a sports bra." Nodding to Maggie's statement Ash looked down at her own clothes thankfully she had on long khaki jeans and blue tie dye shirt. Hopefully that did not go against the dress code. "This place has the best BLT, I swear." Smiling Ashley started to head for the door. "Best BLT's huh? I'll have to try one of thsoe then." Last Edited By: Ashley Vae 09/17/07 17:47:35.

"Same table?" Maggie nodded in answer. Looking at Ashley over Maggie's shoulder, Richard asked "Two today?" Maggie again nodded,"Mm-hmm, two today." Richard gestured with his hand, "This way please." Once seated, Richard took the order of their drinks and let them look over the menu. " First time in a place like this huh?" Maggie asked the rather quiet Ashley. Maggie's new friend looked like a cat in a new house, unsure and yet curious. It made the blond smile and laugh softly. "This is actually my first time here with someone ot eat with." Maggie confessed. "I'm usually alone." Maggie played with the salt container, turning it around and around as she talked. When Richard returned with the drinks, Maggie let him know they both would have BLT's with seasoned fries. "Ahh, the usual." Richard exclaimed as he tucked the menus under his arm. "Good choice, they will be right up." And with that he left the two once again. Maggie sipped her raspberry iced tea as she began to talk again. " So, what places do you go to for good food?"

Posts: 114 10/17/07 14:43:16	Sitting back Ashley felt a bit out of place. The price of the food alone made her feel like that. Her family rarely went out to eat and if they did it was never to a place like that. Only for birthdays did they go out to a nicer place to eat, even then it had never been to someplace like this. Most of the other people sitting at the tables wore very expensive clothes. Dressed up for a fancy dinner Ashley would have felt more out of place with her own dress if Maggie was not sitting at the same table dressed much the same way. The girl seemed nice and must be really good at getting other to do things they normally would never do. This situation was near the top of improbable things Ashley will do on a whim. Maybe she was growing up or she was trying to get back at her parents. Could be a little of both, or none, it didn't really matter why since hell she was there. As her coca cola arrived Ashley drank some, a few ice cubes came into her mouth, which she quickly broke apart with her teeth. Shrugging at Maggie's question she did not want to fully answer it, not while in a place like this. "Here and there. Little bit of fast food, but mostly I eat at home. My mom usually prepares dinner every night. Occasionally we'll go out.. nothing like here." Most of the times her family went out it was to some Mexican restaurant. It was the family's choice meal. Occasionally a burger place or maybe even Italian but that was a rare day indeed when the four of them went to a place such as that.
