Unrelaxed, xXxOpenxXx

[Lex Joseph Erikson]

Sighing, Lex sat on the lawn, bald head shinning under the bright sun of that day. No, nothing beat this... Sitting under the shade of a tree with a acoustic in hand. He strummed the guitar, slowly.

It was an expensive guitar.. Great sound, and tunage. Well, what do you expect from a rich boy. Nothing but expensive items and clothing. Which, that day, he wore a deep navy jean, with a gray shirt that had a odd logo, or something like that on it.

A yawn excaped his mouth, as he glanced at the lawn. Not many people were here today.. Just the normal groups. Preps in one corner. Drama Geeks in one corner. Greeks in another. Just like this school. Split into groups. Lex didn't have a group. Not many rich people, for instance.

But, no, he wasn't relaxed. His father always came to mind, whenever he was thinking. That father that killed his loving mother. His father that wanted to even kill him! Sick bastard... That was what Larry Erikson was..

He tried to erase the images. But something always stuck, in the deepest part of him mind. Reminding him to watch his back.

[Sara Isabel Oakland]

Sara sat fiddling with her pencil during the last five minutes of her math class. God, the teacher was so boring today. She couldn't wait to get outside. Her free period was next. She looked out the window and spotted Lex playing his guitar and she smiled. She knew what she was going to do!

As soon as the bell rang at the end of the period, she gathered her books and bookpack quickly and ran out of the room quickly. Exiting the building she quietly made her way behind Lex. Sidling around the tree, she did her customary rub of his bald head and then slipped back around the other side to hide and see what he did.

[Lex Joseph Erikson]

Lex sighed, when he felt the rubbing of his bald head. ""Hi, Sara." He said, as if it was like any other day. She did the same thing, everytime. He wasn't sure whether she thought it cute, but he just found it normal on the manys days it happen.

Giving a small smile, he felt as if he read her mind. "Come out from behind the tree, Sara." He heard his ways of figuring her out. She wasn't a normal, preppie girl. so he had his ways.

[Sara Isabel Oakland]

Sara giggled when Lex called her out. She couldn't help it. Sidling around the tree, she plopped down beside him and leaned up against him, avoiding the guitar. "What'ja playing?" she said, wincing a little as her accent was harsh in the quiet of the afternoon. She'd worked hard at losing it, but it stuck out like a sore thumb some days.

[Lex Joseph Erikson]

Lex laughed, looking at her, and saying, "Actually, I have no clue." He took the guitar out of his lap, and put it on the opposite side of him, so it wouldn't be in the way of Sara. He said, "I see the accent of yours is really coming out today." He grinned at her. Personally, he loved the accent, and almost wished he had one, but he was born in a rich home of no accents. Which he rather regretted, personally.

[Sara Isabel Oakland]

"Yeah, dang it," Sara sighed and snuggled closer to Lex. "You didn't have to stop playing because of me." She pouted slightly. Lex was so charming and gentlemenly around her all the time, it was hard not to like him. But there was her boyfriend too. The only thing she didn't like about her boyfriend was his choice of music.

[Lex Joseph Erikson]

"Aww.. now, I like the rich accent. It's you." He said, shyly, amd as if he didn't mean to say it. But that was the way Lex was, rather crappy at flirting, but a huge romantic. Who wouldn't with so much money?

"Well, do you want me to keep playing?" A small laugh excaped his mouth, for he knew he wasn't good at the whole, guitar thing. Well, maybe he was talented, but he really didn't realize it.

Yes, Sara like being close.. He admired that about her, for he was rather bad at snuggling with other women, and being close to them. Sara was an exception though, of course. He didn't mind it when she leaned on him. He'd gotten use to it.

But, who didn't like being close to something they thought they had a crush on. Or might even have a larger crush then they relize.

[Sara Isabel Oakland]

"Nah, you don't have to now." Sara just enjoyed the contact agains Lex. He was half big brother, half rich uncle, half she didn't know what else. She didn't bother trying to hide her accent now, especially when Lex said he liked it.

The sun was warm enough to make her sleepy. Lazily she found a slightly more comfortable position for her butt and closed her eyes, letting the sun warm her cheeks. "Will you be walking me and Lisa home tonight?" She knew it was a little out of his way to bring them home.

[Lex Joseph Erikson]

"If you say so." He said, with a smile. She was obviously okay and content with him not wanting to play his guitar infront of her. He was glad she was too, for playing wasn't really easy either. For him it wasn't, at least.

Letting his head lean against the tree that was behind him, a smile grew on his face. He had to admit, this was confotable, and he was enjoying it.

"Sure, I believe I can do that." He looked at her with a smile.

[Sara Isabel Oakland]

"Good," Sara was quiet after that. But her eyes moved following the birds in the sky, the leaves moving in the breeze and other people moving about them.

"Lex?" she said after some time. "Why are people so cliquish here?"

[Lex Joseph Erikson]

"You're welcome, my dear." He said, a few seconds later. He did have a guilty pleasure in his crush on the girl, but then again, he was 2 years older. Was that too much? Naw.. never.

Looking at the girl, smirking, he said, "Because the people here don't believe in having friends outside you group." After a pause, he also added, "And they're idiots." Maybe that was sarcasm. Most likely.

[Sara Isabel Oakland]

"Yeah, maybe they are." Sara sighed again. It seemed she'd been doing that a lot lately.

"But you don't seem to be cliquish. And neither are Lisa and I."

[Lex Joseph Erikson]

Lex looked over at her, smirking. He said, "I never really fight into any groups." He answered withm, glancing at Sara with a smile. He said, "What would happen if I kissed you?" He asked, rather suprised, at what he had just said.

[Sara Isabel Oakland]

Sara looked at him strangely. "What do you mean? You always kiss my cheek. Why would you want to do anything different?" Lex asked the strangest questions sometimes. She suspected it might be because of his family's influence in the town, but other times, like now, she wasn't quite sure.

[Lex Joseph Erikson]

"Maybe...maybe.." He said, in a soft whisper. Looking over at him, he didn't let her ask him anything else. He just leaned in and kissed her flat on the lips. Maybe it wasn't a good idea. She has a boyfriend, does she not.
