The bowling alley was crowded, full of people having fun and bowling, duh..thats what people do in a bowling alley...
Stephen walked into the room, he dogded people and walked over to the bar, ordered a drink then went to sit down on the tables, near the bowling alley side, watching all the kids, he watched as a pretty looking women, helped her child to bowl one of the balls. The child screamed with delight as the ball hit the pins and fell.
Stephen laughed slightly, how he wished he had had that sort of life stile. He lit a cigerrate, getting some looks from the people around him, not caring he sat there smoking it silently.

Astoria pulled her shoulder length orange hair into a loose pony tail, as she fixed her uniform. She had customized it of course, she wasn't going to wear this awful uniform without at least making it look a little more fashionable.
The bowling alley was pretty busy this morning, and it was definetely keeping her busy. She noticed someone smoking, and walked quickly over to him.
"I'm afraid you can't smoke inside" She said, trying to be polite, she recognised the boys face. He went to Watson as well. She smiled as nicely as she could, waiting for his reply.

Stephen heard a voice coming from far off it seemed, but no, it was coming from a girl. He shrugged, not saying anything and put the cigerrate out, shrugged and didn't look at her. He didn't like talking to strangers, they made him feel edgy and sometimes scared.
"Sorry." he muttered, looking up at her, his eyes tired looking and slightly scared, he wasn't scared it was just that he had been so over the years that he couldn't help it very much.

Astoria smiled, she didn't really mind that he smoked, but she didn't want to get in trouble.
She looked around with a sigh, she wasn't needed right now so she decided it would be okay to talk to someone.
She frowned slightly, she wasn't sure whether or not to ask if he was okay. She decided against it, "You go to Watson don't you?" She asked, it was slightly unlucky for him that Astoria was in a talkative mood. He didn't seem like the talking type.

Stephen looked up at her, almost dreading her to start talking, "Yes, I do, do you?" he wasn't sure, but he did reconise her some how, he couldn't think where tho, he didn't know the school much.
He wasn't going to say his name to a complete stranger, he would wait until she said hers before he made his move, just incase...

Astoria nodded, and sat down beside him, aware that she hadn't been asked. "Yeah, I'm only a freshman though" She explained. She fiddled with her shirt sleeves, she hated her uniform. "I'm Astoria" She then said with a smile on her face.
She looked around the packed building, trying to spot anyone else she recognised, and also keeping an eye out for her boss.

Stephen felt her looking, he also looked round too, seeing no one of intrest, he looked back at her, "I'm a Senior." he said, "I'm Stephen Colly." he muttered, looking at her. She seemed nice, young but nice.
"Arn't you a bit young to work here?" back in England, you were allowed to work when you were...god, he didn't even know, he had been isolated from normal life since he could walk, he didn't seem to know much..he shrugged, it didn't bother him...much.

Astoria smiled, she thought he looked much older than her. "I can't wait until I'm out of freshman year" She said, mainly to herself, it seemed to her that you had more fun when you were either a Junior or a Senior.
She nodded, as if to say it was nice to meet you, without physically moving her lips.
Looking back towards him, she replied with, "Well, I'm 15" She said, "I really should be 16, but they were looking for someone urgently, and I was there" She explained with a laugh. "Where do you work?" She asked curiously, "I mean..." She began, "If you do that is"

Stephen shrugged, it was a good enough reason. "Oh, I work at Starbucks, its good fun I suppose, watching people come in and out, not as bad as I thought it was going to be a couple of weeks ago." he said, "and you see people you know in there, and there is the money side of it as well." It was true, money was all Stephen needed really, and a girlfriend, but he thought he had the second one covered with a girl named Addie, at least...he thought that.

Astoria smiled, “I guess this place isn’t that bad either” She began, “I mean apart from the bowling shoe business” She laughed, the worst part of the job according to her was handing out the shoes to the customers. “But you get free soda and refreshments” She continued, fiddling with her shirt sleeves awkwardly. She stood up as she noticed someone walk over to the counter, where she was supposed to be.
“I have to go” She said with a smile, pointing over to the counter, “See you around campus” She said happily with a wave as she hurried over to answer the customers question.
