Annabelle walked out to the courtyard holding her black guitar case at her side. Today she was wearing her blue jeansthat were ripped. She was also wearing a paramore band t-shirt under her black hoodie that had cupcakes on them. Just her normal attire. Though sometimes she will just mix random outfits together and wear that. She has her own style that she loves. But one thing she wears everyday for sure are her pink converse.
The small girl walked towards an open space in the courtyard. Annabelle looked around and saw very few people around. It wasn't really a surprise to her since it was starting to get dark out. The sun was still setting, the sky was an orangish pinkish color. She loved this time of day. But once it starts to get dark she runs back inside since she fears the dark. Yes Annabelle still sleeps with a night light.
Annabelle smiled to herself as she sat down next to a tree. She set her guitar case in front of her and un latched the two latches. She then pulled out her black acoustic guitar and set it on her lap. Annabelle then started to strum the strings slowly. She closed her eyes and started humming to herself quietly and softly.
Annabelle's brother had taught her how to play the guitar when she was only seven years old. Her brother was eleven at the time. Ever since then Anna had fallen in love with the guitar. Mostly because her brother had always played with her. But that all stopped a few years ago when he got sent to rehab for drugs. He was an addict and Annabelle wanted to help him. But she couldn't as much as she tried. Though Anna wanted to quit playing altogether she knew she wouldn't. Mostly because her brother would have hated her if she did stop.
Annabelle just sat there strumming her guitar softly. The tune her brother had taught her first when she was seven. She was humming the tune he had always sang to her. When their mother had locked herself in her room and when Annabelle did the same. He would always come to comfort her. But now he can't. He's in rehab and she was sent thousands of miles away to this academy. Annabelle had barley gotten any sleep since she had been here. It was only her third day here though. And she didn't mind it. She actually kind of liked it better than at home.

Annabelle had been humming along with playing her guitar for a while now and she hadn't realized what time it was then. She knew she should probably get home before dark but she didn't think her family would care at all. Well at least her mother or her step-dad. But her step-brother and half-brother might care. They never left Annabelle alone. When she was home they would constantly follow her around. Sometimes she didn't mind it but sometimes it got on her nerves.
Annabelle's thoughts had been interuppted when she heard a voice above her. She opened her eyes and saw a boy leaning against a nearby tree. Anna had never really played her guitar in front of anybody before. "Oh uhm.. Thanks." She said smiling a little. This was a first. Nobody really spoke to Anna. Usually just ignored her.
Annabelle thought she would take advantage of it and introduce herself. "I'm Annabelle." She said smiling softly up at the boy who seemed to have a guitar slung across his back. Anna bit her lip a little and sat her guitar back in it's case. She then leaned her back against the tree again. While she waited for him to say something her hand travled up to the necklace around her neck. It was the necklace her brother had given her when she got her first guitar. It was a necklace with a pink and black guitar pick on it. Annabelle barley takes it off. It's just another reminder of her brother. The only thing she really has left of him since he had moved out into rehab.

[/i] He muittered softly, fiddling with his shirt for a moment as she placed the guitar back in its case. "You play really good.... for a girl" He teased, Shrugging his shoulders and giving a slight smirk before stepping around the tree. He seemed to love to tease people.. to make people laugh and smile in any way. Normally, he probably would have minded his own, but he was in a good mood. "Annabelle.. its pretty.. and unique" He added, nodded to himself before looking over at her. She seemed to be expecting something. Oh yes! He hadn't given her his name "I'm Pheonix, or PJ if you like" He added, pulling his guitar from his back and laying it on the table next to hers "Aren't you out kinda late?" He asked cautiously, running his hands through his slightly messy hair.[/size][/ul]

Annabelle laughed a little and shook her head when he teased her about playing good for a girl. Though she just decided to not say anything. Then when he put his guitar down next to hers she looked up at him and tilted her head a little smiling. "Nice to meet you Phoenix." She told him quietly as she looked up at the sky. It was still darkening a little and that made Anna a little jumpy since she doesn't like the dark all that much.
When he said she was out kind of late she just shrugged. "I'm out this late a lot." Annabelle's gaze left the sky and looked over at the boy. "Why are you out here this late?" She asked quietly as she sat up a little wondering why he honestly was out there. Not very many people came out this late. To play their guitar at least. But she got used to going out to play her guitar. It was an easy way for Annabelle to express her emotions. And she needed to do that quite often.

[/i] He mirked as he sat down on top of the table and glanced up at the sky. "Well lets see... I live on campus and um... i'm bored. Satisfied?" He asked impishly with a bright smile. Phoenix was almost always smiling. It was just him. No matter what he went thorugh, he came out with a smile on his face. {{writer's block on this thread}}[/size][/ul]

Annabelle laughed a little as he said he was bored. "Bored eh?" She said looking up at the boy who was now sitting on the table. "So when your bored you go random places with your guitar too?" She asked smiling up at him. Annabelle then looked up at the sky once again. Wow how much she loved the sky.
Annabelle turned her attention back to Phoenix and started to wonder why he was even talking to her. Nobody really spoke to her. Her old school especially because it was a very violent school and she had usually stayed on the safe side until the end of the year. When she began getting into more and more trouble. Yet another reason why they moved here. To get away from the violence. But nobody had spoke to her at this school. Only the teachers. Other wise she got weird looks in the halls and she hated it. But now Annabelle was thankful for him talking to her. So she just smiled and waited for an answer.
