Candy smiled, a big grin across her face, cheeks rosey from the cold. It was the middle of the night, the spotlights still on. She checked behind her, and then grabbed hold of the fence, thrusting herself upward and over. She landed on the ground on the other side. She looked over the poolm, they never drained the water. She took a few steps forward and cleared off the snow revieling a fully frozen pool. She made her way across it, careful not to slip, uncovering the surface. She then sat down on a chair and rumbled through her backpack, bringing out a pair of ice skates.

He didn't waste time making his way to the pool, skates slung casually over his shoulder as he made his way to the fence. This place had always been great for skating in the winter time and since he almost never saw Hayley around he had decided to come by himself. He sighed as his fingers curled around the chain link fence. Did she want to break up with him? He barely ever saw her anymore and he was wondering what that meant... Either way he scaled the fence without another thought, dropping down to the other side without another thought and moving towards the pool only to find a girl already there. The edges of his lips curled into a sort of sad smile before fading. "Mind if I join you?" he asked as he stepped onto the ice, obviously used to this sort of thing. there he waited with his hands in the pockets of his dark washed jeans. He was in a thick black hoodie that look warm with a black scarf, hat and gloves.

Candy jumped and saw the boy, she was quiet startled, she thought she was the only one who ever came here. Why...uh, sure she answered shakily, tripping over her words. She looked down at the snowy ground and her skates, they were half-way laced up. She bent over and finished the job, relaxing her mind. She stood back up and smiled, You come here often? she asked casually but felt like an idiot.

[;;lust]

He raised his hands as if to show he meant no harm when she jumped... or in surrender, it was still uncertain. When she said it was okay for him to join her he simply untied his skate laces and pulled them on, tying them expertly. He was straightening about the time she had he skates on and he glided easily towards her with one stroke of his skate. He stopped easily in front of her and tilted his head so his eyes were sort of visible from behind his long blond and black hair. Gold eyes... His entire family had them... "Whenever I can" he replied easily before setting off, mind drifting away and focusing here then drifting away again. he didn't have much to focus on other then some dilemmas like Hayley and school. "Yourself?" he replied after a moment, turning sharply to circle the girl.

Candy got a bit lost in his eyes, they were an unusual golden color. She nodded, Yeah, I come to practice and be alone she whispered back. She slid along the ice, consentrating on the snowflakes that fell upon her nose. She wrinkled it for they were cold to her skin, she smiled at the boy and began to skate backwards, I'm Candy by the way.

[;;lust]

Was he supposed to take a hint at the be alone part of her comment? Well she had said he could stay so he thought nothing else of it, skating around easily around. She began to skate backwards as she introduced herself and he moved towards her, skating close and brushing his hair to the side so he could see better. "I'm Nickoli but people call me Nikki or Pride" he said simply before skating around her and crouching down, hugging his legs and balancing so he simply glided forward. Note to self: wear something warmer then jeans during the winter...

[[R][ø][x][¥]]

Candy smiled, Nikki? Why don't they just call you Nick? she watched him skate, he was pretty good. She let out a breath and watched it disappear into the cold night. She sat down, So how old are you? she asked, looking at her reflection in the ice.

[;;lust]

He smiled slightly at her comment about his nickname and simply shrugged, not bothering to mention that it was his girlfriend who had given him that nickname. "Thats just what they call me." he replied, showing his hands in his pickets and flipping his head to the side to try and get his hair out of his eyes once more but to no avail. She asked him his age and he tilted his head, not understating why that was important... "Seventeen, going on eighteen pretty soon" he replied casually, keeping the curiosity out of his voice.

[[R][ø][x][¥]]

Candy looked up at him, her cheeks red from the cold, she let out a small laugh Me too she replied. Nikki? she asked looking up at him, wiping her own hair from her face.

[;;lust]

So they were the same age eh? He continued to skate by her, watching the ice more then anything. She said his name and it brought his attention up only to find her looking at him. "Yeah?" he asked, not sure if she was just saying his name, trying to get his attention or trying to ask him something.

[[R][ø][x][¥]]

What are yuo doing here? she asked tilting her head to the left, so she looked like a puppy dog with her big brown eyes staring him down. She shoved her hands into her jacket, to keep them warm. She was afraid of messing up in front of Nick.

[;;lust]

"Here as in at the pool?" he inquired, not quite understanding but taking it that way. "I dunno, I just decided to come here today I guess..." he replied with a simple shrug. God if Hayley ever found out her was here, with another girl she'd beat him senseless... That was probably the only downside to dating a girl like her but he still wasn't sure where they stood...

[[R][ø][x][¥]]

Candy lay back on the ice, staring out into space. The empty vastness of it was so intriguing to her. She blinked a few times, twisting her tounge ring in her mouth. She then sighed, You either don't talk much or you have a GF so which is it, because with either point I don't mind.

[;;lust]

He stood beside her as she lay down and tipped his head back to stare at the sky as well, though he was looking through his hair. her question drew him back from space and he looked down at her then sat to think. "A bit of both I suppose... I'm used to being around people who either don't talk much or talk enough that I don't have to. And I'm not sure about the girlfriend thing... I had one about 2 weeks ago but I haven't seen her since..." he replied with a small smile.

[[R][ø][x][¥]]

Candy smiled back and then patted the ice with her hand. I see, relationships are confusing like that. she sighed slightly and then brightened up again, Well, I'm quiet bubbly, but only around my friends. You seem very quiet, in your own world. I like that. she whispered softly.
