Game Point

[nilo7]

Chase is a new guy to this school and has not had a friend sense his last friend died from a stab through the heart. He does not plan on having any thing to do with anyone. He is just simply watching a game of tennis to kill some time

[Oren]

Chasity swung her racket, hitting the small green ball over the net and across the court. "That's another point! But you're getting better!" she shouted to the young boy she was playing with. "Wait 'till Whisper see's how good you're getting!" The boy nodded and hit the ball back to her.

"Now, this is game point, so watch yourself!" She reminded.

In a few minutes she had won the game. He had gotten a lot better though! Patting him on the back, she took his racket and the ball, saying, "I'll get our stuff. You go ahead and find Whisper."

As she was walking to the water fountain, she noticed a student watching her. He must have been watching the game. Smiling, she walked over to him. Putting all her things in her left hand, she held out her right.

"Hi! I've never seen you before. I would say that you must be new, but this is a big school, so I wouldn't know." She smiled and looked at him for a second before saying, "I'm Chase, by the way."

[nilo7]

Chase just looked at her hand and then looked at her giving her a looked that said what do you expect me to do with that.

[Oren]

When he didn't shake her hand or respond, she let her hand drop back to her side. Sitting on the green court, she took out her water bottle, taking a sip before placing it back.

"You're not too friendly, are you? That's okay, though. There are a lot of unfriendly people at this school. They either think they are too good or too dangerous for friends. Either that or they don't like the company of other people. I would know. My ex is like that. He would only stand your company if you were somehow important to him or if it was only for a short while. He's a good man."

She paused to give him room to say something if he liked. When he didn't, she continued.

"I'm pretty friendly myself. It somehow tends to get on people's nerves, and not just around here. The vampires of the town don't like it either... so, what about you? Do you just not like people, or do you think you're better than that?"

[nilo7]

Chase said "It's not that I think I am better than any body or that I am not social it is just I don't want to hurt any body because I am being followed and hunted. That is all. I can be nice but I sound mean a lot of the time with out meaning to sometimes." Chase just got up and looked at her then looked out the corner of his eyes to see if anyone was following him. He did not say anything but he was wondering if she saw that he was looking cautiously around without turning his head.

[Oren]

When he stood, she sighed. Now she’d have to get back up too. It was quite funny how people did that. You’d sit and then they’d stand even though you were trying to talk to them. It was kind of a way of them saying that they didn’t want to talk, but Chasity wasn’t up for that kind of attitude today. She didn’t know too many people at this school and she, personally, needed to meet more. Whisper and Konoha couldn’t be the only people she hung out with.

She smiled at his words. So he was the ‘too dangerous’ type. He was a good person, then, since he distanced himself from people in order to protect them. Still, she wanted to know more about him than that.

Standing too, she looked toward where Konoha had run off. Hopefully he had found Whisper. If there were people after Chase, they might try to take advantage of the childish creature running about alone.

“Either way,” she said, “you distance yourself from those who want to know about you and could potentially help you. I can handle myself quite well. I was taught by the best. Actually, I dated him too, but that’s beside the point.” She walked around to where they faced each other, noting that he had been looking around cautiously.

“I want us to be friends. I don’t care what you say or who’s died because they were your friend. I’m not fragile and you won’t regret it… unless you’re annoyed by my talking, but hey, that has to do with me, not you, so it doesn’t count, right?” She added the last part, laughing as she spoke, to lighten the moment. It was never good to stay serious 24/7.

[nilo7]

Chase laughed a little in his head and then said hmm... I am serious 24/7/365 for me there is no time to goof off. I have to learn more so i can get stronger. Plus if I were to goof off i would get killed by the men following me. They are other members from the group I am in and they want me to stay focussed and serious.

[Oren]

"And I'm serious too!" she said, putting her hands on her hips. "I can take perfect care of myself and anyone that allows me to befriend them!" It was almost insulting how he seemed to think she was bluffing. Almost, but not quite. She smiled at him. Holding up her racket, she said, "Are you any good?"

Getting him slightly more active couldn't hurt anything, and she wasn't the best player out there. Also, she was a good teacher so it wouldn't be hard to teach him if he didn't know how.

[nilo7]

Chase looked at the racket and said "at tennis?" He didn't know that much about the game but he figured how hard could it be you just him the ball over the net back and forth.

[Oren]

"Yes at tennis! I'm not good at many other sports that make use of the ball." She offered him her racket. Konoha's wasn't too much smaller so it wouldn't be hard for her to play with it. "So yes? no? If you're not good at it, we can just lob the ball across the net. That's always fun too." She shrugged at him as she smiled. Really, she didn't care what they did. He seemed friendless so it was her job to be his friend. That was how she thought and that thinking, although it could cause her to be annoying at times, also earned her some very good friends. She was sure this would be one of those cases.

[nilo7]

Chase looked at her and said okay guess I can hit the ball over the net how hard can it be to hit the ball with the racket. He took the racket slowly out of her hand looking at her to see if she was okay with it.

[Oren]

Chasity laughed. "Fantastic!"

He reached for the racket and she practically shoved it toward him before letting go, expecting him to grab it. Score! If she could get him active, maybe she could get him talking. If she could get him talking she might befriend him. If she befriends him that would mean one more friend in the school! She could take the list on and on!

Jogging to her side of the court, she gestured to the other. "Go stand over there and I'll hit the ball to you!"

[nilo7]

Chase walked over to the other side of the court. He was looking at the racket wondering why it was made the way it was. Chase just naturally thinks about how things happen, why, and how. Chase stood on his side waiting for her to hit the ball to him.

[Oren]

Chasity threw the ball to the ground, letting it bounce back up before hitting it over to him. She watched it bounce over the net and realized that he had never said his name. She laughed to herself. Here she was, playing a game with someone she didn't even know the name of!

"Hey! You never told me your name!" she shouted, making sure he could hear her. Starting a game with someone she didn't know was something she couldn't care less about. If they played a whole game and she still didn't know his name... that would just be odd! The first time she had asked he hadn't said anything, but hopefully this time he would.

[nilo7]

Chase looked at the ball coming at him and was thinking in his head wait what do I do? How do I hit it? Is this even possible? Chase tried hitting the ball but missed because of his hand and eye coronation. Chase saw the ball pass him in slow motion it seemed like. Chase was confused "What were you suppose to do with the ball?" He asked Chasity. He then said "My name is um Chase." He had to think about it for a second whether or not if he should tell her or not.
