The world is dark, let me be your light(Gabriel)

[Olivia Green]

It was lunch break. Olivia still, had no friends. She walked around aimlessly looking for a hidden spot to eat her lunch so no one could spot her out and make fun of her. She finally just went outside and satunder a shaded tree.

Livi was wearing a black and red plaid skirt that looked a little torn with a baggy, blue muscle shirt that had been torn for effect. Not to mention a baggy black and red stripped touque that hugged the top of her head.

Her bruises on her face had finally faded into an icky yellow, but it was a lot more easy to cover it up; so, the only boo boo visible on her face are the two cuts on her cheek and lip. They were scabbed and they weren't opening everytime she moved her face, so it was a good sign they were healing well. The only thing that will take awhile to heal was her broken left arm.

Livi opened up the container for; so, she can eat the salad Alexis made for her. It was confusing with Alexis. She was mean one second, but she would go and show her soft side and make Olivia food. It wasn't bipolar, it was something deep down and hidden. Livi just couldn't put her finger on it. the salad bowl was tucked inbetween her legs so she could have a grip on it as she poked at the lettuce with her fork.

She then heard footsteps, which was alarming, because it caught her off guard and she thought she was alone. Quickly she looked up and tried hard not to smile at the familiar face because god forbid she show any vulnerablitiy. "Hi, hi, hi."

[Gabriel Seran]

Restless night again, Gabriel was finding it harder to get any rest around with so much to do. The future the past, the present all things clashing together as one made his mind go wild with anticipation for one ting he couldn't stand sitting around in the noisy muddled confusion that was the school cafeteria. Taking a quick stroll outside Gabriel sauntered amongst the brush deciding that life was to short to not enjoy the beauty of life.

Thats when it hit him, that familiar face up against a tree siting comfortably. What a coincidence how his thoughts shifted. He came around hugging closely to the bulk of the tree and he turned a head about to meet her.

"You're looking well today," Gabriel said with a cheery smile his mood drastically pulling a 180, "Mind if I sit?."

Gabriel didn't want to mention the home life or even that he'd had a run i with her sister because he knew it was all a touchy subject to her. Almost everything appeared to be a touchy subject to her. Though persistence won out in the end he liked that about himself, a gold marker set upon a dust hill.

[Olivia Green]

"You're looking well today," He smiled, looking to be in a happy mood. Though she would beg to differ about the looking good thing. She knew she looked like crap, "Mind if I sit?."

"Um.." her eyes shifted to the grass beside her. She didn't know how close he would get, but she wouldn't mind his company. Though they were quite alone and it was very...uncomfortable for her. "Okay..." she flicked her black bangs; so, she could see a bit better.

Olivia took a bite of her salad and gestured to her little plasic bag. "Are you hungry? My sister packed me lunch, but she packed me too much... yet again I don't think you are a fan of tofu.." well, a food offering was a good sign that she was warming up. Even if it was quite obvious he wouldn't like it. Tofu was one of those foods you really had to eat a lot to get used to. An aquired tase if you will.

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel moved in slowly as to not upset her placing himself at an acceptable distance unsure of where her line was. Though Gabriel was patient he wasn't always one so keen on waiting. He would inch a bit further later on once he'd gotten her trust. His eyes traced at her hair, dyed differently now? he didn't mind it even though he'd gotten his first encounter with her as a blonde and found to be quite fond of it.

"Are you hungry? My sister packed me lunch, but she packed me too much... yet again I don't think you are a fan of tofu.."

He smiled at the offer still suspicious of the woman he'd met the other day. Where they really sisters? He could see the physical resemblance but still they seemed to be on different sides of a coin.

"I could always give it a try," make sure the girl wasn't being poisoned by that sister of hers

he took a bit of it managing to swallow some down without gagging (much). He gave her a joking look as to how "interesting" it really tasted.
"So this sister of yours, how is she treating you?" he asked cautiously suspicious still.

[Olivia Green]

She eyed him curiously as he sat down slowly and with distance. She had to give him props. He was trying hard not to upset her.

"I could always give it a try," she handed him some of her yummy tofu and he did, in fact, try it. It looked like he gagged a couple times and he made a face to her, regarding the food he had just tried to eat. She laughed a little at his joke before taking a small bite of tofu herself.

"So this sister of yours, how is she treating you?" she finished swallowing her food and looked up at him.

"Alexis? She treats me well all considering." she shrugged thinking aobut how to word it. "Sometimes I feel like she is the older sister.. Though i am supposed to be. Only by 2 minutes, but still. She packs me lunches and she puts up with me a room mate. I'm sure no one wants their sister as their roommate, especially one who couldn't take care of herself."

She took a few bites of tofu as she slipped her hand into her bag to pull out a juice box. It was grape juice and she wasn't entirely a fan, so she had boughten cranberry juice for herself. "Of course there are times where she will snap and say some sarcastic remark, but what sister doesn't?" she handed him the juice box. "Here, use this to wash that ucky taste from your mouth."

[Gabriel Seran]

"Here, use this to wash that ucky taste from your mouth."

Gabriel gave her a thankful smile as he washed out the taste of the tofu, he could see how it was an acquired taste, something that was certainly strange in its own right not natural but with the right motivation you could grow fond of. His eyes traced over Olivia curiously enjoying that he could make her smile, he hoped that she could grow more comfortable with him it grew tiring having to be around people with such barriers but he set himself up with this challenge and wouldn't live it down, certainly not now.

"hmmm, well thats very kind of her" Gabriel said slowly finding a hard time trying to dislike Alexis now. Not only had she defended her sister but she housed her fed her and kept her on the straight and narrow path, now Gabriel felt as though he was the bad guy here.

[Olivia Green]

She could tell he didn't entirely like the tofu, and she could also tell he was greatful for the grape juice.

"hmmm, well thats very kind of her" Olivia knodded. She was quite lucky to have a sister like her, though many people wouldn't see what Olivia liked in her. Alexis had a tough shell and Livi could tell she went out of her way to make people hate her on purpose.

"Yeah, she is a bitch though... But its just how she grew up. She reacted differently than I have. I hide under rocks as she tackles things head on whether it make sher a horrible person or not." Livi smiled up at him with the thought of Alexis. "Hey! maybe you should meet her sometime... Though i would have to warn you inhead of time she might be rough, and say some stuff she doesn't entirely mean. After all she was diagnosed with Pseudologia fantastica. That is a lying disease, F.Y.I."

Right when Olivia finished the speaking out her invitation her mouth shut closed and her eyes darted to the blades of grass beneath her. She just invited him to meet family. Was that weird? Was he going to refuse 'cause it was a dweeby thing to do?

"Sorry, you don't have to..." she tried to correct it quickly.

[Gabriel Seran]

"Yeah, she is a bitch though..." Gabriel coughed up the juice somewhat spurting it on himself clumsily. Obviously that was an apparent Olivia move, blunt and obvious he smiled and laughed finally regaining the ability to breath without coughing.

"Hey! maybe you should meet her sometime... Though i would have to warn you inhead of time she might be rough, and say some stuff she doesn't entirely mean. After all she was diagnosed with Pseudologia fantastica. That is a lying disease, F.Y.I."

Gabriel returned a very welcomed smile. That did explain a lot about the girl she did certainly have a lying disorder trying to be her sister to get whatever information out of him, it surely was a good thing that Gabriel was mighty patient, that and a side of suspicion didn't hurt.

"Sorry, you don't have to..."

Gabriel laughed lightly trying not to embarrass her too much. He placed a gentle hand on her chin tugging her gaze lightly up from her fixation on the grass before realizing the touchy issue and retreating it.

"No, I'd love to, it'd be....fun" He said with a reassuring smile not trying to discourage her.

[Olivia Green]

He laughed when she called her sister a bitch, which she never really thought was funny until he laughed. Still, she didn't entirely laugh at it, because she...just...didn't do that.

When she tried to take back her invitation to hide her stupidity, he gentley grabbed her chin and tilted her head up to have proper eye contact, though it was highly unexpected. She jerked and looked back down at the grass and tensed a bit from his touch. He realized what he did; so, he pulled back his arm.

"No, I'd love to, it'd be....fun" her eyes looked up into his.

"You had hesitation in your voice. You don't have to..honestly. I was just being stupid. Don't know where I come up with these things." which was true. since when did she know someone long enough to want them to meet family.... wait.. since when would she think it would be a good idea to introduce someone to her family. She made a nervous clearing of the throat and looked back to the ground.

She never felt so stupid. She had been made fun of and ridiculed her whole life, but for some reason everything she is doing with Gabriel is a great embarrassment and she doesn't own up to him.

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel laughed awkwardly trying to give her the impression it wasn't all that big of a deal.

"No, I didn't mean it like that" He smiled half attempting to reach out again but quickly retreating without notice. These barriers she had would get irksome though still he pressed on. There was something there he was sure, a diamond in the rough of sorts. "I was making an attempt at humor, come on, smile" He urged to force one out of her, if not he'd have to resort to more desperate matters. If it came to it he'd light a fire beneath her...of course that was just what first came to mind.

(ooc: eh crappy post! *stabs self*)

[Olivia Green]

"No, I didn't mean it like that" She wasn't looking at him to notice a smile spread on his face, or the fact he was about to touch her again. "I was making an attempt at humor, come on, smile" he wanted her to smile? Olivia didn't find it very funny, yet again she was shut off from the world. A lot of the time she didn't get sarcasm, though she was picking up on it with living in the same place as Alexis.

Olivia looked up at him with a straight face. It seemed to scream "I'm pathetic". She could not see why he was waisting his time on her. She was a lost cause and could never be found. Seven years is too much to take back. He was smiling, and kept smiling. After awhile her mouth twitched somewhat into a small grin, that showed she was smiling, but it was small like the ones that people are just never satisfied with when trying to make someone happy.

Before she was tempted into further on smiling she looked back down and scratched her brow, making her hand cover her face. Ninja move. "Not funny."

[Gabriel Seran]

Good, he could live with a smile even if it was the frailest, faintest bit of one. Gabriel sinked in closer this time by her side able now to lean up against the tree by her side. He watched her "ninja move" and heard her statement noting the defiance in that. It gave him small smirk that dared her to shoot down his dreams.

"Non c'est très drôle" He murmured off in French swiftly with a flirtatious eye to him.

Gently he moved to part the hand away from her face, tenderly, aiming not to upset her greatly but the space was killing him. Patience was a thing for people with time on their hands, time he was wasting not spent somewhere important. Though here it was.

Gabriel tilted his head cutely, "Olivia, may I tell you something without you getting too upset?" He would pause slowly for an answer yes or no, either way he wouldn't take it, "vous êtes tres beau"

[Olivia Green]

"Non c'est très drôle" she heard him murmur, yet, she knew what it meant due to bill 101 back in Canada.

Again he touched her, but he went slow and he parted her hand from her face. Now she was exposed to his view. The physical contact and the way he looked at her made Livi feel cery nervous. Though, this time she didn't twitch her hand back or panic like she normally would. She just stared back at him as he carried on with his words.

,"Olivia, may I tell you something without you getting too upset?"

"How come you always think I gonna get up-"

"vous êtes tres beau." yes, she knew what that ment as well. She couldn't help but blush at his compliment. Though inside she didn't believe that his French words were true, but it still made her warm and fuzzy inside.

"Et vous êtes le poussant." she replied, with a terrible French accent. she always did bad on the speaking assignments. When it came to writing it down, she did all right, but she just couldn't speak it well. Also she was distracted by how close he was. It would appear he was inching himself closer to her, but she wasn't going to object. She was finally warming up to him, and she liked him close. Just a little more time and she would be wrapped around his finger.

[Gabriel Seran]

He was surprised by her French, indeed though it wasn't the best accent he was still very impressed. He gave her an almost shocked grin, full of certain excitement. She was turning out to be of certain more interest than he initially started with. Something curious within him wanted to push her more, it seemed that though she disliked being pushed that when he did so he could get more out of her. Still he'd never go too far as to press his limits.

"So I see I can't whisper beautiful french words into you ears without you knowing full well of what they mean anymore." He mocked with a playful grin eyeing her with a certain heir of respect and concern.

"But I'll be damned if that will stop me..."

[Olivia Green]

"So I see I can't whisper beautiful french words into you ears without you knowing full well of what they mean anymore." she smiled at him, she just couldn't really help not to.
"But I'll be damned if that will stop me..."

"Ah, not to worry Gabriel. You wont be damned. I am not fluent in French, I just know the easy stuff. Or I can pick out small words." she shifted her weight; so, she had been a little bit more close. He was pushing it? Yet, here she was getting a little closer. She was attracted by his presence. Something about him drew her to him, and she absolutely could not put her finger on it. Even if her life depended on it. Though she felt suddenly shy and she felt her face get hot when she inched herself closer. She felt like a moron for some odd reason and that, too, she couldn't put her finger on.

"There was a root under my ass.." she had to make up an excuse so she could stop feeling that weird emotion.
