Alex walking into the cafeteria with a slightly distracted look. She made a quick glance around before setting eyes on an empty table. Walking quickly, she made her way toward it and sat down, placing her stuff on the seat beside her. Alex leaned back in the chair and rubbed her eyes. She was not looking forward to another year. She reached over and pulled a pen and a notebook from her pile of objects. She made a quick look around, pushed a piece of her brown hair behind her ear and started writing. Things To Accomplish
Do homework She looked up and saw a girl looking at her with a look of distaste. She gave a quick smile for the girl to look away quickly. Alex didn't care. You could like her or hate her. She was a great friend if you didn't treat her like crap. She liked to keep to herself and her friends blamed that on her not having a boyfriend. She closed her notebook and returned it to her stack. She sat at the table looking at all the people who were talking to one another and had a feeling of loneliness run through her. She rolled her eyes at her own feelings and sat, staring at the table thinking about nothing at all. |

Iris walked in after meeting up with her friend. The two had gone their separete ways a little less than an hour ago. Looking around the caffeteria she spotted an open seat next to a girl sitting alone, shrugging Iris walked over and sat down. Glancing over at the girl she watched her for a moment, just staring. Maybe something was troubing her. Deciding to attempt and cheer this perfectly good stranger up she introduced herself, Hi, I'm Iris! She said smiling, Are you new? she made small talk hopeing this girl would say something back.

Alex's eyes returned to focus on the other girl. "Nice to meet you. And not exactly. I'm a junior this year." She smiled kindly as she pushed another piece of hair behind her ears.
"What grade are you in here?" Her brown eyes showed mere curiosity at the girl she had never seen before.

"Nice to meet you. And not exactly. I'm a junior this year. What grade are you in here?" The girl asked, Oh, ok. I nodded, no big deal, I had been wron before, bad guess, I'm a junior as well... I smiled, at least she was conversational. Mind if I ask what your studying? I asked a little curious. She wasn't in any of my biology course, at least I didn't think she was. I waited paciently.

Alex's brown eyes rose to meet the other girl's. "I am a dancer, but I have to study for my back up plan, therefore, I am studying medicine." She reached over and pulled an anatomy book out of the stack. "I enjoy studying people. You can learn a lot about a person by the way they act. I have always enjoyed caring for others in need, therefore, I am in the medicine field." She stretched her long legs under her.
Alex made a look of distate before reacing down and brushing something off of her jeans. She looked to her tank top to be sure that there was nothing there before returning her attentions to this new girl. She extended a tan hand as she spoke. "I'm Alex. What are you here to study for?"

Iris thought about it, a medical field is definatly a good back up plan! "I enjoy studying people. You can learn a lot about a person by the way they act. I have always enjoyed caring for others in need, therefore, I am in the medicine field." she said. I nodded, it was true Yup, people definatly are very interesting, both parents were in the medical field. They tried to convert me but no dice, I prefer my fish thank you. Iris shook her hand, And ..marine biology, if you hadn't guessed by the fish statement. She laughed a little Not too many people are researching that particullar field so I thought might as well get ahead of the rest of the world, that and I love the ocean. Iris smiled broadly.

Alex smiled for the first time that year. "I love swimming. Well, come to think of it, I love anything that involved action. I am a person who runs on energy." She laughed. "My brother used to make fun of me because I was the only 18 year old he knew that looked like a proathlete." She laughed again.
Her attention turned to her books. She reached down and pulled a picture of her brother out of the cover to one book. "This is him. I miss him though. i never got along with my parents and no matter what, he was always on my side."
She revealed a picture of a built guy with dark brown hair that was curly around the edges and he had deep brown eyes. She smiled at the picture.

Iris laughed, Swimmings fun. I absolutly love to run though, it's great! She smiled, "My brother used to make fun of me because I was the only 18 year old he knew that looked like a proathlete." laughing again she looked down at the picture she pulled out, he was a great looking guy, "This is him. I miss him though. i never got along with my parents and no matter what, he was always on my side."
Iris smiled again, but a smaller smile this time. Wow, you guys sort of look alike. Iris said glancing back and forth between the picture and Alex.

Alex laughed, her eyes brightening. "There is a reason for that. He's my twin." She laughed as she thought about how much they looked alike. She reached back down into her stack of things and pulled out the picture that she had in her room of the two of them looking like they were dating. They were both holding one another and there was a German Shepherd puppy at their feet.
"And that," She said indicating the pup. "Is Lance. I brought him with me. He makes me feel better whenever I'm upset. That used to happen a lot at home." A faraway look was in her eyes as she said the last line.
"Anyway, are there any good guys this year?" She now wore a mischeivious grin. She had always loved guys. It was probably due to her brother.

Iris laughed blushing a little Well that would explain it! She watched as she pulled out the other picture, "And that is Lance. I brought him with me. He makes me feel better whenever I'm upset. That used to happen a lot at home." she smiled, Aww! He's adorable! he had to be one of the cuteist dogs she had ever seen. "Anyway, are there any good guys this year?" Iris giggled, Are you kidding? Of course there are, I just haven't gotten up the nerves to talk to any of them yet... she trailed off I dunno, I just get nervous around guys, I blame my ex, he was such an arse. But trust me you don't wanna hear that story. She laughed but deep down Iris was crushed, he had been such a jerk. She shook the thought from her mind.

Alex laughed. "If you point me in the general direction of a guy, I will speak to him." She smiled playfully. "I'm one of those fearless people. I mean, what is the worst that will happen? He will say no or totally diss you. You shouldn't care what others think." She now wore a proud and defiant look. "Set your sights on somehthing, and charge it."
She replaced the pictures and pulled out an energy bar and shake. "I don't trust the cafeteria. I live on these during the year." She rolled her brown eyes and sighed. "It gets boring, but it makes me stronger."

"I'm one of those fearless people. I mean, what is the worst that will happen? He will say no or totally diss you. You shouldn't care what others think." Iris laughed, Yeah I know, I'm just afraid of what will happen afterward, I hate telling people about this but my last boyfriend...well I thought I loved him, we did so much together, and then one day I go shopping and catch him...with a guy. She shook her head fighting back the tears, it was still a sensitive subject for her, she hated him for what he had done.
Iris laughed again as she pulled out the bar and shake, "I don't trust the cafeteria. I live on these during the year." And with good reason, the cafiteria food is practically poison to your body. "It gets boring, but it makes me stronger." She nodded, Yeah, I would get sick of them too, but it definatly helps with muscles. I live off of fruit, I dunno what it is but I love it, and it gives me natural energy. shrugging, What ever works I guess. she said with a smile.

Alex looked apologetic for a moment. "I am sorry about your boyfriend. At least he didn't firce you do something that you didn't want to do." She was trying to look on the bright side of things as she always did. "You can bet that I wouldn't let anyone threat you like that." She once again wore a defiant expression.
"Anyway, I am tired of sitting here looking at all the people. They are interesting for a while, but then, you totally get bored." She looked around still trying to find her friends. She shrugged. "I want to go somewhere where I can have fun. Wanna come? I don't know where I'm going but.."

Iris smiled, Thanks! she said sincerly, "Anyway, I am tired of sitting here looking at all the people. They are interesting for a while, but then, you totally get bored. I want to go somewhere where I can have fun. Wanna come? I don't know where I'm going but.." I nodded, Sure lets go, we can figure out exactly where we're going along the way.
