Haku sat under a medium sized cherry blossom tree and watched the light pink petals fall around her. It was so very peaceful here to her. She figured she would bask in the beauty of this nice day before class started. It was her favorite thing to do. Being a fifth year student, she discovered that this was a very enjoyable thing to do. The silence of voices and the rush of a faint breeze against soft cheeks was so inviting. She couldn't resist.

She often has her best daydreams of a summer romance here. Haku had never really had a romance but she is dying to experiance one. It always seemed to her that no one would ever spy her as attractive. She sighed and leaned her back against the tree. Her eyes drooped to slits and her breathing became an even humm. Soon she was fast asleep dreaming of a beauty before her. Outside of her dream her cheeks flushed red with the intense want for love. A smile crossed her face as she dreamed of soft lips brushing against her own. She sighed again and was far away in dreamland now.

Classes started in just a few days. Of course that didn't actually matter, Core had been counting down the days since halfway through her fourth year when her roommate moved out saying she wasn't a good one to have. This of course worried the school board so they had told her she would have a new one this year to try and get the small girl to be a bit more social. Coreline couldn't care, why would she want to be social when she had just one year left? Granted she still had yet to decide what she wanted to do after graduation, for that she was happy she still had another year to think about it, well two years.

The girl sighed as she walked through the Glenn in her shorts that went to her thighs and the ripped off tank top that ended just below her breasts. The baseball cap covered the top of her head but that could never hide the waist length black hair that cascaded down her back as she walked. the breeze blew it out in odd directions but it almost always managed to not tangle, except when she slept, that was always her down fall. She closed her amber colored eyes as she walked and then opened them again only to find a small girl sitting under the cherry tree that had been her destination.

Core had found this tree just a few months ago and it was her favorite place to go and sit down with a book and get lost in her own imagination of a world that would never exist. But today a small blonde was sitting there. She was rather adorable just leaning there against the tree and her chest rising and falling at a steady pace. No doubt she was sleeping. Core had half a mind to turn around and go back to her room probably to await the roommate she had been promised but instead she gave a small hidden smile and went over to stand next to the sleeping girl. "Nice day for a nap." she said noting the pink that was in the girl's cheek, must be having a good dream and part of her now regretted speaking and breaking her out of it.

Haku had just got to a really nice part of her dream when a voice broke through and awoke her. Her light blue eyes fluttered open to reveal the one the voice had come from. A pretty girl with long dark hair and glowing amber eyes. Her clothes where quite revealing which made Haku blush again. She yawned and stretched out her arms. "Hello there. I'm Haku, and you are?" she asked while sitting up and crossing her legs. She was looking up at the pretty girl with a bright smile and kind eyes. "Why don't you sit with me?" she asked patting the grass beside her. Haku enjoyed company and didn't mind meeting new people at all.

Coreline shifted on her feet not really sure if socializing was the best idea. A roommate had already been forced on her granted she didn’t even know the girl’s name, age, or year in school. The fifth year really hoped it wasn’t some childish first year, that would get old fast. Finally with a sigh she sat down in front of Haku and crossed her legs Indian style. Setting her elbows on her knees she glanced at the other girl with a small almost non existent smile. “My name is Coreline. Core (cora) for short please.” It was how she always introduced herself. The girl wasn’t a huge fan of her name so changing it to Core was always better, she liked Core.

“So um…” there was a pause in the speech. She really wasn’t good at this and probably wasn’t going to be getting any better either. Sighing again she closed her eyes and thought. What would be normal conversation when first meeting a stranger on the street. Her eyes opened again a bit darker in the shade of the tree. “What brings you out here?” she asked finally looking up at the tree that was raining petals on them. Core didn’t say anything else waiting for the other girl to talk. She really wasn’t good at this whole conversation thing but she was going to give it a shot for the pretty little blue eyes blonde haired girl.

(OOC: Sorry for teh long wait. Internet has been down and I have been pretty busy. I will try to type a pretty long post though.)

Haku smiled happily when the girl sat down. She shifted possitions to where her legs where under her rear and placed her hands on her knees. The girl stated her name and prefered title. Core. That was very pretty to Haku. "Lovey name, Core. I'm Haku. Nice to meet you." The girl looked somewhat uncomfortable so Haku waited for her to calm and relax. Core started the conversation off. "Ah, well I quite enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the nice breeze always calms me down and sets the mood. What brings you out here?" she replied.

Haku studied Core. Her face was beautiful. Her body was well endowed. Haku couldn't help but outwardly blushing for thinking so. Long dark hair was so attractive to her due to her own hair being such a contrast to it. Her eyes were filled with mystery behind the deep brown. Her nose was so refined and made her seem older. Haku studied core's lips last. They were pillowy and rose colored. She felt lost in a sea of feminity. It was intoxicating.

(It's cool honey =) no rush at all i promise you. I'm a pretty patient person and your posts are great)

Haku switched the way she was sitting and looked at Coreline. She didn't mind the attention but then again at the same time she did. She was so anti social that even just sitting there with anothe was odd and awkward in her own mind. When her name was complimented she nodded her head in thanks without saying anything, that was how she usually was after all. When the little blonde explained that she liked the peaceful atmosphere Core had to agree. It was why she came out here, that and the fact it was usually a really good place to be alone. Of course the other would ask the same question back at her but she wasn't sure exactly what to say. Her thoughts were her own and she very rarely shared them, even when asked in class, they were often not what she actually thought.

The fact that Haku kept staring at her was a little unnerving, no doubt looking at her features like most women did when she walked by. Core looked a little older then her small age of sixteen. More developed then some and certainly looking more adult. She had been mistaken as one older more then once and she had to admit she didn't really mind. "I come here usually to read." That was actually a form of the truth. Of course the book was in her green bag that was still hooked to her back but she didn't mind leaving it in there unless she was alone. "What school do you go to?" she asked knowing full well that this girl was not old enough to be out of school. Looked like a fourth or fifth year to this one.

Haku tilted her head to one side as she studied Core's eyes. She seemed to be hiding behind them. Haku wondered what one could possibly want to hold inside. It was a strange thing to her. She rarely spoke out of turn but she didn't hide anything from anyone even if it embarrassed her. Her blue eyes tried to penetrate Core's but it was a failed attempt. Core answered her question by saying she came here to read. "How lovely," Haku said in a high tone. She herself liked to read but this place was much too calming to do anything but dream.

"I am going to St. Spica Academy. you?" Haku was somewhat excited about school. She hoped that she would do well this sememster. It is a very worrisome thing for her to not get good grades. She is quite hair-brained when she misses even one question. She wondered about her roomate as well. Who would she be assigned to?

St. Spica, just like her. Granted that didn’t mean they would ever run into each other. After all, it was a fairly well sized school, well populated that was for sure. But that also didn’t mean that they wouldn’t run into each other also. Sighing Core closed her eyes and rested her head back against the tree. She really didn’t want to delve into her personal life with this girl but oh well. Answering what school she went to was hardly personal business. Anyone could know that if she walked around in her uniform instead of her normal clothes. “I go to Spica too.” She said and kept her eyes closed. She was trying, hell better then she normally does. “I’m on my fifth year, can’t wait to get out.” Her amber gold eyes opened and the look was a little sad. She was tired of being trapped and just wanted out.

Shaking her head she yawned and closed her eyes again. “So what brought you out today?” Coreline was almost a hundred percent sure she had asked that question and so she thought of another. “What year in school are you? And do you have a roommate?” there those questions worked right? The girl didn’t really care, she wasn’t even sure why she was trying to hold a conversation. Granted she doubted this girl was her new roommate, but actually she wouldn’t have minded if she was, she wasn’t so bad. Core cast her eyes sideways and studied Haku as she sat there. She was a cute little thing that was for sure. Shocked she had thought that Core put her eyes back in front of her and down onto her lap where her hands sat on her thighs. Oh yes think stuff like that now. She chastised herself.

(sorry it took so long. I needed major motivation. Oooo and I love my siggy ha!)

Haku was enthralled by this girl. She seemed to blush when Haku talked to her. "I am a fourth year and I have a roomate but I haven't met her yet. You?" She looked core over in her new sitting position. A sigh escaped her lips as she looked at Core's hands rested on her thighs. A haze covered Haku's eyes and a sweet smile crossed her face. "You are really pretty. You know that right?" she asked involintarily. Her eyes met Core's and she thought of how beautiful her features fit her sweet face.

Coreline thought about her answers before giving them. She always thought about things first. “I just got a new roommate. Had my own room for most of the time there.” She didn’t go into details since she didn’t really know anyways why no one had wanted to room with her. It hardly mattered anyways. When the other complimented her Core was taken aback. She had been told she was pretty on countless occasions but in truth she couldn’t see it. “I’ve been told I’m pretty yes.” It wasn’t an exact answer to the question but it would work. After all she wasn’t a fan of talking about her looks anyways. “You’re pretty adorable yourself.” A smile crossed her lips and the student closed her eyes.

Unsure of what to say Coreline kept her mouth shut. The silence stretched on and she felt a little awkward. “Anything else you would like to know?” she asked her eyes still closed. When no answer came right away she opened her golden orbs and looked at Haku again. Really she didn’t know of what questions counted as normal conversation so leaving it to the other was a really appealing idea. She really hoped Haku was a better conversationalist then herself because Coreline lacked that certain gift. Not for the lack of trying. Just wasn’t that type of person anymore. Turning her eyes back to her lap she waited, staring wasn’t polite so she didn’t do it. Then again when holding a conversation it was good to meet the other’s eyes.

(let's finish this thread and then go to the bath house where Assante is.)

Haku smiled at Core's compliment and asked, "Well I'll be meeting my roomate soon. I want to go to the bathhouse first though. It's always nice to cleanse the body and mind before class. Would you like to join me? It would be fun. Plus we could wash each other's backs." She really liked the idea of Core going to the bathhouse with her. It made her smile widen and her eyes went a little hazy. Their usual bright blue twinkled into a lighter shade and welcomed a happy answer. She hoped Core would agree to go. It would be so much fun if she had someone she knew to go with her.

She would be meeting her roommate soon. Lucky her, she seemed excited to. Coreline on the other hand had gotten used to being alone, just like her time when she came to this tree. Though she had to admit that having Haku here hadn’t been so bad even if a little awkard for her. A small smile pressed across her lips at the invite to the bath house. She had been planning on going there sometime today or tomorrow anyways so she didn’t see why not to accept the invitation. “Sure I’ll join.” But the idea of washing each other’s backs was a little odd for her, she had never done that with anyone, probably came along with having no friends. Turning and giving Haku her smile she stood up and brushed off the back of her shorts from the grass that stuck to them.

She bent down and picked up her bag that held her book and then turned to Haku offering her a hand. There was no reason why she couldn’t be shivilrous to the other girl and frankly found that she did indeed like her. Part of her hoped that she was her roommate but knew that would be too much to wish for. She had never gone to the bath house when others would be there so she wasn’t fully sure if there was anything she needed to bring with her. She knew they supplied the cleaning supplies but she wasn’t sure about the nude thing. “Um this is going to sound stupid.” She said and a small blush crossed into her cheeks. “But do I need a swim suit or anything? I’ve never gone to the bath house when others are there.” Especially not the communal one for all the campuses which she was sure was the one that Haku meant for them to go to.

(This can be the last post. I'll post in the Stealing a Bath thread after this one.)

Haku smiled and said, "Yay! I'm so glad you will come with me." Core stood up and offered Haku her hand. This made Haku smile more and took Core's hand and stood to her full height of 5'1. Core had admitted that she had never been to a bath house and asked whether a bathing suite is needed. "Well, actually, a bathing suite is optional. It is a 'bath house' though so I'm not going to bring mine. I plan on bathing off in the wonderous soaps and lotions they provide. You will love it! Trust me," Haku assured Core and took hold of her hand. "Let's go," she said tugging Core along behind her.
