Holly walked through the town with her I-pod in her ears, she was listening to her music so loud that she couldn't hear anything else but her music, she was listening to Kenotia, one of her favourite bands along with Paramore who were another of her favourite bands.
She spotted the park, she loved the park. She used to have such a fun time in the park with her friends long ago before she moved to Miami, she used to live in Manitoba, Canada. She missed her old friends, she could only text, phone e-mail or send them letters.
She slowly walked through the park gates with her hands dug into her jeans pockets, her music still loud, she was sure other people she passed could here it, but she didn't care.
She saw lots of small toddlers and small children running about the swings, slides and roundabouts, she smiled at the thought, she liked small kids, she thought they were very cute.
She found any empty swing by a semi-secluded part of the park and she sat on it. She picked her I-pod out and chnaged the song and placed it back into the pocket on her black hoodie.
She sat, swinging slightly but her feet still touching the ground.

Alex walked slowly towards the park, his hands stuffed in his black drain pipes.
As he pushed open the green park gate, he noticed a familiar face over by the swings.
He grinned, and headed over to say 'Hi' to Holly.
He dodged a excited looking five year old, and lent against the pole holding up the frame of the swings. He didn't think she would hear him with her music, it was louder than his usually was.
He smiled and waited for her to notice him.
ooc;; Wondered if they could be mates?

Holly, still sitting on the swing with her music really loud. She was absored in the lyrics of the songs and the noises of the different instuments she could pick out. She would have loved to be in a band herself, she could play any guitar, she has learned to play guitar since she was nine.
She continued to swing a little when she felt that cold chill she usually gets when she knows somebody is watching her.
She slowly took one of her earphones out, her ear feeling numb from the noise level of the music. She looked up to see a cute emo boy leaning against the structure of the swing grinning down at her. She sat up a little straighter and pinned her dyed blonde hair loosley behind her right ear and smiled back.
"Hi, can I help you with something?" Holly asked
She had never seen this boy, even at school she wasn't sure if she had seen him about before.

Alex shook his head, and took the swing next to her.
"Just wanted to introduce myself" He said politely, "I'm Alex" he said, "I've seen you around campus, are you new here?" He then asked, kicking himself off the ground, making the swing move back and forth, he wasn't sure if Holly was new or not, but he knew she was a senior.

Holly looked up at the boy, he was much taller than her by the look of it. She was only a small 5' 3''.She noticed as he sat on the swing next to her ans she smiled. She liked the fact that at least somebody wanted to talk to her, not like some of the people who didn't even go near her beacuse of her emo appearance. You should never judge a book by it's cover.
She found out that his name was Alex, she like that name.
"Hey..." she said with a smile
"..I'm Holly"
"and yeah, I guess you could say I was new, I've only been to the school for a couple of days" She said with a sigh
"You're actually the first person who even wanted to talk to me, most of the others just look at me like I'm some sort of outcast" Holly said taking her other earphone out and letting both earphones hang from the top of her black hoodie.

Alex laughed, "What do you think of the famous 'Watson Academy' so far?" he said, using his fingers as quotation marks. He slowed down on the swing, quite surprised that nobody had really welcomed her yet.
"It was like that on my first day" He said, which was half true, but Alex was a pretty outgoing person, he would march up to almost anyone and introduce himself.
He outstretched his hands, as if to say 'Look at me', "I used to get the same treatment" He grinned, but shrugged, "In a week or so, you'll fit right in"

Holly laughed as Alex used quotation marks with his fingers to describe the school.
"I guess it's okay so far, I like some subjects and stuff but some are really boring..."
"...and the school can't be that bad can it?" she asked with a laugh as she too made quotation marks with her fingers in the air.
"you really think it'll only take a week for me to fit in?" Holly asked happily
She was quite happy that it would only take around a week to 'fit in', beacuse when she moved to New York, straight from Manitoba, Canada, it took months to fit in if you were new.
*Maybe people in Miami are quick not to judge a person* She thought

Alex dragged his battered green converse along the tarmac under the swings to stop himself swinging.
"Nah" he said, "The school okay.." he laughed, "but it's school right"
"You'll feel at home in no time" He said comfortably, "I was surprised how easy it was to make friends here" he shrugged, wrapping his arm around the chains of the swing.

Holly laughed a little at Alex's actions, she thought he seemed really nice.
"yeah, I guess school is okay" she smiled, agreeing with Alex.
"sometimes I think school is just school, but then I think about art and music- they're my favourite subjects, I think of art and music as a way of life so school is more than school to me when i'm in thoses subjects, I like to be creative". She smiled again, she loved art and music and it was her way of life.
"What 'bout you?, what's your favourite subject?" Holly asked as she lifted her head to look up at Alex's cute face. She thought he was the cutest boy she had seen in the school so far, she tried to stifle a giggle as she kept noticing how cute he was.

Alex raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Ooo a artist and a musician" He grinned, quite impressed.
"I don't really have a favourite subject" He said honestly, with a shrug, "I guess music is okay, but I can't deal with all the classical parts that come with it" he added, folding his arms calmly and leaning slightly on his side.
"Creativity's important" he said simply, "I play the guitar" He said with a nod, as if that was supposed to explain his point.

Holly wanted to laugh out loud at Alex's tone in his reply when she told him she loves art and music, but she only let out a small giggle. She sat up properly on the swing and placed her hands on the chains on the swings, she let one of her hands go and began to twirl a piece of her dyed blonde hair in her finger, it was a strange habit of hers and she only really did it when she felt bashful or really happy. She felt both just now.
"Yeah, creativity is really important, what's life without creativity?" she asked rhetorically
" I love my art, it's all i do mostly" she said with a smile
"I play the guitar too, but I don't really play it often, just when I'm bored or feeling low, I prefer to sing but I don't think I'm a very good singer"
Holly always told herself that she wasn't a very good singer but lots of people told her that she had a lovely voice.
"do you play much?" Holly asked with a smile

"I'm sure you're a great singer" Alex said, with a smile, holding onto the chains of the swing.
He nodded, "I practice as often as I can" He said, "I was thinking of taking it further, like for the future.. you know" He explained, as he looked up at the clouds.

Holly smiled at the fact that he thought she would be a good singer. She felt all giggly in the prescence of Alex, she usually did around boys she thought were cute. She didn't just think he was cute though, she thought he was gorgeous.
She loved his attitude about wanting to take music further in life.
"Yeah, I totally get you, I would love to be part of a band or something" She said with a girly smile.
"although, I dought I'm good enough to be in a band, I don't really play much, just sometimes"
