Ella had somehow missed Caleb at dinner. Had missed him all week it seems. She wasn't fully sure if that was her own fault due to her heavy classwork schedule or anything else. But still, it had been almost a full week without running into him, and that was really odd.

Finding that she had some time on her hands she decided to stop and try to catch up with him instead of just running back to her dorm. He had said to just give him a call right? Pulling out her cellphone, she stopped at a bench in the quad to do just that.

All Caleb wanted at this point was sleep, glorious sleep. He could see the dorm at the edge of the quad, but instead of taking another step towards it, he hapshazardly laid in the grass. His arms spread out as he looked up at the sky.

Things were too stressful lately. He couldn't sleep without waking up with nightmares, he had so much work to do, Jason was acting weird, and he barely saw his 'sister' and 'heterolifemate' any more.

Just then Abba blared from his pocket.

You can dance, you can jive! Having the time of your life...

His hand shot into his pocket and brought his phone to his ear.

"I was just thinking of you!"

	She giggled at the sound of his voice. "Well you know what they say... think of the devil and all that." He sounded so excited to hear from her. "I'm not interrupting anything, am I? Cause... I was wondering if you wanted to take a walk?" (Reply to this)

"Me? Have something to interupt? Never. You're a reprieve from all my current burdens. A reprieve I'm thankful for." Caleb grinned up at the sky, realizing that he might seem like a creep to the people passing him by.

"We can take a walk, as long as theres no walking involved. So sleepy El. So. Sleepy." He yawned (partially for emphasis and partially cus he needed to) "lets chill somehwere!"

Ella giggled again. Caleb was such a fruit sometimes.

"Alright..." she nibbled her lip, trying to think of someplace they could go that would be fairly private. She really didn't feel like going back to hole up in her room.

"Do you still remember that garden? The one with the koi pond?" Ella couldn't remember them ever going back there since he'd caught her there with her cello back in the spring. "It's quiet back there, I don't think we'd be bothered much."

	Caleb lifted his head and looked around, still laying flat, before dropping his head back down. "Yeah okay, seems like a good idea, I bet I'll be there before you!" He said as he slowly stood and began to make his way towards the garden. (Reply to this)

	ella_marsh 2008-09-04 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Are you suggesting a race?" Ella looked around, trying to figure out how far away she was from the destination, how far he could be. Knowing her luck he was walking past it as she called. She turned, starting to walk that way, going a little faster then usual. "It's not fair you have longer legs then me!" (Reply to this)

	myownlifelived 2008-09-04 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	"I've proably slept less!" Caleb accidently said, trying to speed up and failing horribly. (Reply to this)

	ella_marsh 2008-09-04 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	"You what?" she asked, listening to the sound of his breathing. "Are you running?" Ella listened closer. "Not fair! We haven't even said go yet!" She picked up her own speed, trying to keep from running into people wandering around and enjoying the fading daylight. (Reply to this)

	myownlifelived 2008-09-04 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	Caleb stopped for a moment, garden in sight to take a breath, "I'm not running. I can't run." He plodded forward towards his goal looking around for Ella. (Reply to this)

	ella_marsh 2008-09-04 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Well you should... cause I am." Ella laughed and broke into a full run, shutting the phone to tear off. The garden was just around the next bend in the walkway. If she hurried she might be able to beat him. That was until she spotted him across the grounds, already closer then she was. "GO!" she screamed, trying to squeeze a little more speed out of her short legs. (Reply to this)

	myownlifelived 2008-09-04 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	The shout caused his head to jerk up and he sleepily sprinted the last few yards to the garden, not seeing if Ella beat him or not, he all but collapsed on the bench. "Did I do it?" he asked from behind closed eyes. (Reply to this)

	ella_marsh 2008-09-04 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	Ella knew she wasn't going to make it but still, for some reason it felt good to run. She landed hard on the seat next to him, giving him a bump as she wrapped her arms around him to try and keep from falling off onto the ground. "You always win." she giggled between gasped breaths as she hugged him. "Where you been hiding? That's my job?" (Reply to this)

	myownlifelived 2008-09-05 12:00 am UTC (link)
	He hugged her back, "I wanted to catch a rabbit, and I fell down a hole and ended up chilling with a hookah smoking catapiller telling me stories that are thin allusions to religion involving clams and one freaking weird tea party. It was kinda crazy, you called me when some queen was trying to cut off my head." He let out a deep breath, "'twas trippy." (Reply to this)

	ella_marsh 2008-09-05 12:11 am UTC (link)
	"Better trippy then brillig." He seemed off to her for some reason. After all she was supposed to be the quiet one and he the giggly giddy one, not the other way around. And he really looked tired. "You alright, Caleb? You don't look so good." (Reply to this)

	myownlifelived 2008-09-05 12:20 am UTC (link)
	"Just sleepy," Caleb dismissed her worry with a wave of his hand, he didn't like it when she got all crazily worried about him. He just managed to get her to stop freaking out about the ally incident. He didn't want to worry her more with the mental after effects. "So why'd you want to meet?" (Reply to this)

"I missed you."

She had. Ever since Renee had come around to talk to her she'd been needing someone to try and help get her head on straight. Claeb had always been good for that in the past.

"I just, needed someone to talk to. Things have been a little weird since I last saw you, between Renee and Julian..." she sighed, making another nervous giggle. "You'd laugh if you heard what's been going on."

	Caleb sat up and looked at his close friend. "I'm always up for a good laugh if you want to tell me whats been going on." (Reply to this)

	ella_marsh 2008-09-05 11:27 am UTC (link)
	"Well... I made a friend on my own." she blushed a little at this admission. "His name is Julian and he lives in my building. You should meet him, though hopefully it won't leave you with as many bruises as it did me." There was a little bit of a pause before she spoke again. "He's... funny. He may just be more afraid of the world then I am." (Reply to this)

	myownlifelived 2008-09-05 05:37 pm UTC (link)
	Caleb quirked an eyebrow "Bruises? Did you collide into each other? Or just got really kinky really quick?" Caleb winked at the blushing Ella. "Do you like him?" (Reply to this)

She rolled her eyes and gave him a shove for the kinky comment. "Yes, I'm afraid we quite literally kept running into each other. Though the last time one of us finaly managed to figure out how to stop in time."

There was a bit of a confused look at his net question, like she didn't quite understand what he was asking. "I suppose. He's softspoken and likes books. Even lent me one of his favorites. He said it's his first year here and he doesn't know a lot of people. I... promised him I'd try and introduce him since he doesn't know anyone on campus yet. You'd help me with that, right?'

Ella fidgeted at that. She was horrible with introductions. And she really didn't know that many people herself. It would be hard to keep her promise without his help.

	"Yeah but is he cute and attractive?" Caleb raised an exasperated eyebrow at her. "Of course I'd help you show him around, maybe we could throw an party or something, and show him around. Of course we'd have to pretend we didn't throw the party for him..." Caleb rubbed his chin as he pretended to be deep in thought. (Reply to this)

	ella_marsh 2008-09-07 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Now she looked really confused. "I... guess, but does that really matter?" It didn't to her. She'd never thought something like that would really matter to Caleb either. And then he suggested the party... "I don't think a party would be a good idea. He doesn't really seem to be the party type." (Reply to this)

	myownlifelived 2008-09-07 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	"I... guess it doesn't" Caleb shrugged. "So no party? Want me to hijack him and show him around?" (Reply to this)

	ella_marsh 2008-09-07 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	"He needs some friends. I think he'd do better with a more subtle approach. And I'm sure you two would get along." Ella smiled and wrapped her arm around his. "And your 'little sister' would be very grateful for your help." (Reply to this)

	myownlifelived 2008-09-07 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay! For my little sister I shall!" Caleb posed sleepily. "So how exactly did you guys meet?" (Reply to this)
