“Wow…” Ellie mumbled as she stepped from the cold stone building of the library. The sun hit her eyes, momentarily blinding her. The bright cold air hit her face in a sudden burst of wind, the startling cold hit her face and a small shiver ran down her spine. Walking into the bright day she lifted her hand to her light blonde hair. Flatting it down as it was lifted lightly into the air, Ellie has always liked her hair. It is very pretty and as a tendency of curling at the ends. As she walked she twirled her finger in her hair. Not really knowing where she is walking she found herself going down a path she knew well, very, very, well.
Looking ahead Ellie knew where she was, where she was going. Her favorite spot on campus was the lake. Something about the water was so calming to her she liked that. Picking up her pace a bit she saw the glowing water. How pretty it is. Avoiding the others walking along the path with a few ‘excuse me’s’ and ‘sorry’s’. She did not like being around too many others, she was not to good around people. Growing up in a house with six other children that you don’t really know is not a fun way to spend your childhood. Scrawny, quiet, and shy she was never really one to open up so she was always picked on by the others she never got on opportunity to really ever get to be herself.
Coming to the opening in the path Ellie walked into the brightness once again. Smiling she let the slight warmness of the water warmed the air slipping her sweater off her shoulders letting the air hit the supple pale skin. Smiling to herself she sat down at a bench near the water. Closing her eyes and leaning her head back she leaned back and felt relaxed. Basking in the sun she loved so much smiling to herself.

and if we only knew what time would show.
Just getting out of the showers, Benjamin pulled out a fresh set of shorts and a shirt, slipping them on before packing his things away and waving to the other Ben. He was a little tired after this morning but that was not going to stop him from going out. Not wanting to carry his bag around with him, Ben had the temptation to just ditch it but since it held his iPod within it, as well as a good pair of shoes, he went against that and just decided to stop by his dorm room. Running in, he chucked it on his bed and turned away, not surprised to see that his roommate Friday was not in. She was never around much when he was, only at night and half of the time he left. They didn’t get along to great but she was a good roommate, and an amusing one at that. He had fun playing around with her like he did with his sister before she had gone all rebellious on him. Ah what the teenage years could do to you. Grabbing a water bottle from the mini fridge he had brought when moving in, Ben headed out without another glance back. The day was still young and he wasn’t going to sit around and waste it.
Feeling in an odd mood today, Benjamin decided he was going to jog around the place. Usually running just was not his thing but right now he felt like doing it. Spending about fifteen minutes jogging his way around, he was well in shape and knew that but not because he was full of himself, but because he tried. Ben never wanted to get fat and so exercising had become something he did on a regular basis, like a lot of other people apparently. Still confused as to why the gym had been so full, it wasn’t exactly normal but oh well, he had run into Ben Greene so it had been better than if he was alone. Seeing the walk, he stopped to a walk so that he wouldn’t be sweating more than he already was before getting to the water. Unscrewing the cap to the water bottle he had been lugging around, he placed the rim of the bottle to his lips and chugged quite a bit of bit before turning the lid right back on and looking around. There was only a few people here; on the right there were two families with kids and a dog, on the left there was a girl, alone and by herself just sitting there, well lying, on her back.
Smiling to himself, he didn’t feel like being alone anymore. Getting the courage to just go talk to her, ever since meeting Noelle at the lake he had felt as if he wanted to try more with getting girl friends. He didn’t get along with that many guys, it seemed girls were more of a fan of him and guys didn’t really enjoy that, so he just dealt with the ones he did have and hung around with the girls he adored. Of course, though, he only adored them as friends and though he had known them forever, nothing had happened between any of them and himself. He guessed they thought he was gay, which he was definitely not, but didn’t care as what they wanted beyond friendship was not his department. He’d be there for them after rough break-ups and all but only for listening and speaking about it, not for any physical things to make them feel better too. Believe me; he’d had a few try. Chuckling at the memory, he really had found it amusing because she had been half drunk and unaware of what she was doing at the time. All he ever wanted was to be a good friend; it was what he had a talent at.
Going over to the water, Ben stuck his hand within its cold surface and wet his hand before running it through his hair. Having quite a bit of it on his head, for a guy at least, he didn’t want to make it look as if he was horribly sweating before going over to met someone he had never spoken to before now. Splashing some over his whole face, Ben then stood up and started to walk over. Sitting next to the girl, he cleared his throat nice and loud so that she would hear it. Setting his legs out in front of him, he placed his arms on top of them and waited. He was not much of a vocal person for greetings but he did want her to know he was actually there. Being invisible wasn’t always a fun thing. The one thing he did know was that she went to his school, which was about it. He had seen her around but not often so that meant she did not have a dorm by him, but if he remembered correctly they were in the same year. Those were the type of things he was never sure of, but seemed to have a knack for being right in the end. Dates, ages and faces were things that stuck in his head easily when he wasn’t giving effort. But really, when did Ben ever think he wasn't giving effort? Benjamin was the type who always liked to give his best.

It was calm, so calm. After studying all morning for her academic exams, witch she was bound to do poorly. Most likely barely passing. But at least those were not as important as what kept her here and her scholarship. She was putting so much work into her dance. Dancing is truly her only love. Ellie has never been great around guys. Being not all to comfortable being around others in general it was inevitable that she would not be comfortable around guys. Social Grace never being a strong suit she liked her awkwardness. It is a part of her, she likes her mostly solitude. She has friends. Not many. That’s true. But some. Looking around the area there were not many people out today. Just a couple families, wow, they looked happy. She saw the dog running around. She turned her head to get a better look at them, some of her hair falling around her face. She smiled at the dog as it splashed around in the water; she had had a dog once. Found it on the side of the road, she had felt compassionate for it. It was unwanted, just like she was. But a car hit it the next day, she buried the body herself in her foster family’s back yard. The one out there even looked like hers did.
Turning her head back up toward the sky she looked up at the clouds, the strange formations they make. So pretty… like they were falling away in the wind. Looking up at every thing, just falling away. Like it could just break away into nothingness. She felt the same on occasions. Like she was floating away, just floating away from herself. Everything. But not when she danced. When she was moving she did not have to worry about saying the right thing or not. Talking, social things at all were not necessary. She could tell a story when she was dancing. She could be someone she is not, say anything she wanted to. She did not have to be her. Just the reason she loved it so much. Not having to be held down with breaking a wall. Its all ready broken and cleared away, because it never existed. When she dances the wall is gone.
Ellie's head turned, when the sounds of footsteps came nearer to her. Turning her head up toward the direction of the sound. It was a boy, vaguely familiar looking. Upon a second glance she recognized him as being in her year at school. What was he doing here? His type did not seem likely to be out here. Oh, now Ellie. That’s just plain unfair, don’t make assumptions. At least don’t make them in you’re head, just say them you coward. Or better yet just don’t say anything. Yes that is her, don’t say anything girl. But after leaning back she still found her bright blue eyes following the boy. But something is wrong, something is defiantly wrong. He was walking toward her. Yes that was it, defiantly walking toward her. Why would he do that? She is just a little invisible person. Gliding through the halls of the richie kid school unnoticed is a talent. Not a very great talent but a talent none the less, now it seems to be the opposite. She had been noticed by one of the pretty boys. Man there was something about today.
Ellie looked up, and he was sitting there next to her. Hastily she sat up pushing a few stray strands of golden hair behind her ear. Apprehensively she looked over at him, he was beautiful, to beautiful really for words. All of a sudden she felt inexplicably nervous and scared to be around him. She tore her eyes away from his face and looked back toward the water and the waves. But after sitting a minute in silence she turned back and said cautiously, “ Um, hi. I’m Ellie. Well, Ellanore. Ellanore Tallis. Well Ellie is fine…” her voice trailed out, she felt a blush creeping up her pale cheeks.
