    Plot~ Opal Greene has just moved to a new state, in a small town, and in a big school. Her father has gotten a new job, which made Opal and her siblings happy, since the family was rather low on money. The catch was moving from the beautiful city of Mobile, all the way to the end of Florida. Opal had always been a rather quiet girl, she stayed in her room most of the time and tended to draw and listen to music rather than socialize. She'd had a few friends back in Mobile, but everyone in Florida seemed a bit different. They were always swimming, surfing, and everything. Sure people did that in Mobile, but they didn't walk everywhere with a surfboard under their arm. A few days after she'd moved, she went to her first day of school. Hated it. No one was really mean to her or anything, actually people were rather friendly. She just hated the school in particular, and of course certain people, who just seemed too stuck up for their own good.
    After the first day, she is walking home with her headphones on, seething about how horrible this was in silence, when she meets your character. He is a beat up, bloody, starving homeless boy, curled up in an alleyway. Opal is immediately drawn to him, curiosity and the want to help him overtaking her. She walks up, your character wakes up, freaks out, tries to run, but Opal stops him. She invites him to stay at her place for a while, just so that he could get back onto his feet. Luckily her dad worked nights out a lot, so she didn't have to worry about him spazzing because she picked up a homeless boy off of the streets. Your character stays at her house for a few weeks, and everything is going well, until they end up realizing something. They're falling in love.



    RULES~
    *Your character has to be Opal's age or older than her, but not too old
    *You can curse
    *Actually be somewhat semi-advanced. That doesn't mean that you have to write a book for every post, but at least 2-5 lines on average, and use correct grammar and stuff
    *BE ACTIVE! I want at least 2 posts a day, just tell me if you won't be able to get online for a while, and I understand school and stuff. PLEASE don't ditch me on my own thread

    OOC: Thanks! Sorry that I took a while to reply, I'm busier on weekdays. Now, if you don't mind I'm going to start, when they meet or whatever ^^


    IC: I walked down the sidewalk slowly, unaware of my surroundings as music flowed into my ears, blocking out all sound. I sighed, slumping my shoulders. I hated it. I never wanted to move, and surprise surprise, I got no say in this whatsoever. I'd seen my brothers, they were doing fine. The both of them were naturally athletic, and even as freshmen they were immediately accepted in to the 'popular' group, which I was quick to recognize. No one had attempted to be my friend or anything, all I got were friendly smiles and 'hello's. I sighed again, though this time it was softer. This town wasn't all that bad, it was gorgeous. But they people needed to try and live up to the town. A majority of them were rich, and the others just had that average, normal, content amount of money, like I did.


    { Your post doesn't have to be that long, I just tend to write a lot on first posts }

    Alright! :p



    Chance sat rigidly in the alley way, his knees pulled to his chest and his back pressed firmly against the hard brick wall behind him. His eyes were closed as if he were sleeping, and his breathing was slow and shallow. He slumped somewhat as he remained there. His hair was matted and out of place, a mixture of dirt and blood smeared his face and a long cut ran down the side of his right cheek. He moved a bit, then remained still afterwards. He looked as if he were only skin and bones. He hadn't eaten a proper meal in weeks...months even. He had always been forced to scrounge and search through the garbage cans like an animal.

    IC: I shuddered as I neared the sort of lower area of town, with the cheap stores, dumpsters, alleyways. I'd passed this once, when my dad, brothers, and I drove over to the school to check it out before we were applied there. I crossed my arms in front of my chest, looking up at the sky for a moment. It was supposed to rain tonight, and I could tell. The sky was already covered in dark gray clouds, making the area dim in light. I shivered again, an uncomfortable feeling settling into my stomach as I looked around, feeling unsafe. As I took my quick glance around the area, something did catch my eye. I swallowed, only being able to make out a slumped over shape. As I neared ever so slightly, I realized this was in face a boy, looking pretty distressed. I don't think he noticed me, his eyes were closed, and I could tell that even though there was still a few yards between us. I gingerly took a few steps closer, curious.

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 2px solid black; height: 500px; width: 400px; background:url(http://28.media.tumblr.com/tum…7a2oDiEK1qif1s5o1_500.jpg); background-position: bottom;][fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px solid black; overflow: auto; height: 200px; width: 275px; margin-top: 275px; color: black; font-family: andale mono; font-size: 9px;]




    Chance stayed still, unaware of the strange girl slowly creeping towards him. He shifted a bit, trying to get comfortable. He pulled his knees closer to his chest and coughed a few times before quieting down and staying still. He was burning with fever and the lack of food and water caused him to be dehydrated as well. The only water he had had was some dirty water dumped out into the alley by the nearby restaurant. Sometimes he would get some good things from the trash cans that didn't taste half bad but most of the time it was crappy things that only made him sick. He lifted his head slowly, still unaware of the girl.

    IC: I watched him, the curious look in my eyes increasing. He was so frail and helpless looking, I had to help him. Carefully edging forwards just a bit more, I slowly bent down, resting one hand on my knee and looking at the boy with interest glimmering in my blue eyes. "Hey..." I began slowly, and in a soft voice, unsure of anything else I could have said. "A-Are you okay?" I asked, and mentally face palmed after the words left my lips. That was a ridiculous question! He was starving, I could see each and every one of his bones through his skin, and he was really pale, for someone who lived right next to the ocean, surrounded by beaches.

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 2px solid black; height: 500px; width: 400px; background:url(http://28.media.tumblr.com/tum…7a2oDiEK1qif1s5o1_500.jpg); background-position: bottom;][fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px solid black; overflow: auto; height: 200px; width: 275px; margin-top: 275px; color: black; font-family: andale mono; font-size: 9px;]




    Chance weakly opened his eyes and they widened. His mouth opened wide as if he were going to scream but instead he feebly tried to get to his feet. Each move he made was painful and hard. He whimpered quietly and staggered down to his knees once more, barely making any progress as he tried to get up and run. He finally managed to struggle to his feet and tried to get past the girl but nearly toppled over in the process. Fear was visible in his eyes as he looked towards Opel.

    IC: I flinched as I watched him, and immediately felt a pang of sorrow in my chest once I caught glimpse of the scared look in his eyes. I stepped back, wanting to give him a bit more space as I put my hands up, trying my best to show him that I'm not going to hurt him. "Hey, calm down." I said softly, soothingly. "I'm not gonna hurt you. You don't have to be 'fraid."

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 2px solid black; height: 500px; width: 400px; background:url(http://28.media.tumblr.com/tum…7a2oDiEK1qif1s5o1_500.jpg); background-position: bottom;][fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px solid black; overflow: auto; height: 200px; width: 275px; margin-top: 275px; color: black; font-family: andale mono; font-size: 9px;]




    By now his breathing was heavy and labored. His eyes were still wide with fright but he was beginning to calm down. He sunk to the ground, his skinny body shaking terribly as he closed his eyes. "W-what do you want f-from me?" He whispered faintly, his voice cracking a bit as he stuttered. He opened his eyes slightly and stared at the girl silently, pain and misery clear in his eyes as he sat there with his back pressed to the wall once again.

    IC: "I don't want anything from you, don't worry. Why are you out here all alone?" I asked with worry laced into my voice. I kneeled down next to him, slowly and carefully. I then placed my hands onto my knees and leaned forward a bit, with a few feet still in between us since he seemed to need some space. I didn't wanna scare him, why would I?

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 2px solid black; height: 500px; width: 400px; background:url(http://28.media.tumblr.com/tum…7a2oDiEK1qif1s5o1_500.jpg); background-position: bottom;][fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px solid black; overflow: auto; height: 200px; width: 275px; margin-top: 275px; color: black; font-family: andale mono; font-size: 9px;]




    Chance watched her warily and shrugged his shoulders weakly. "I live here." He croaked quietly then closed his eyes and allowed him shoulders to slump a bit. He opened his eyes after a few moments and stared at her quietly. "W-Who are you?" He whispered hoarsely, coughing violently afterwards and wincing in pain.

    IC: I grimaced slightly as I heard him cough- it sounded bad. "Oh. Um, my name is Opal. What about you?" I asked softly, keeping my eyes fixed on him. He lived here all by himself? That's awful! This is one of the worse parts of town, and it was freezing outside. The thought of inviting him to stay at my place for a bit crossed my mind, but I wanted to get to know him a bit more first, though I didn't want him out here all by himself.

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 2px solid black; height: 500px; width: 400px; background:url(http://28.media.tumblr.com/tum…7a2oDiEK1qif1s5o1_500.jpg); background-position: bottom;][fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px solid black; overflow: auto; height: 200px; width: 275px; margin-top: 275px; color: black; font-family: andale mono; font-size: 9px;]




    Chance gazed silently at her, wondering if in the end she was just going to run off laughing. He took a deep, raspy breathe and moved a bit which only caused him pain. "M-My..My name... Is..C-Chance." He spoke weakly, his voice shaking as if he barely even had the strength to speak. He coughed a bit more then shivered and closed his eyes.

    IC: I listened to him and nodded a few times, grinning. "Chance," I said softly, my eyes glimmering. "I like it." I then said with a soft giggle, switching my sitting position to where I was indian style in front of him. I bit my bottom lip, now wondering about what to say next

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 2px solid black; height: 500px; width: 400px; background:url(http://28.media.tumblr.com/tum…7a2oDiEK1qif1s5o1_500.jpg); background-position: bottom;][fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px solid black; overflow: auto; height: 200px; width: 275px; margin-top: 275px; color: black; font-family: andale mono; font-size: 9px;]




    Chance opened his eyes and watched her closely. "Do you w-want something?" He asked softly, his voice cracking dryly. He looked down in embarrassment and sighed softly. "Sorry." He murmured for no apparent reason. He lifted his head and gingerly touched the cut running down the side of his cheek. He looked up at her again, a hint of curiosity clear in his eyes as he watched her.

    OOC:


    IC: I sighed and shook my head, placing one hand on the ground. "No. I'm just worried. Say, would yo liek to come back with me to my place for just a while? You look like you need it. It's really cold out here and you could catch cold." I said truthfully, raising my eyebrows hopefully.

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 2px solid black; height: 500px; width: 400px; background:url(http://28.media.tumblr.com/tum…7a2oDiEK1qif1s5o1_500.jpg); background-position: bottom;][fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px solid black; overflow: auto; height: 200px; width: 275px; margin-top: 275px; color: black; font-family: andale mono; font-size: 9px;]




    Chance studied her closely, wondering if this were some sick joke she was trying to play on him. He finally convinced himself that this was probably a good idea and he nodded his head. "Alright." He croaked softly, struggling to stand up.
