The History of Zach and Adrienne: Take 3
Who: Adrienne and Zach When: Thursday: February 1, 2007 (Around 11 AM) Where: The forest outside the school What: Their first outing, hiking in the forest.
Finals week was turning out to be pretty easy for Adrienne. Not that she was a genius or anything, but she was the type of student who stayed at the top of her game and liked to do well in class. Of course, there were subjects that just didn't sink in but those were few and far between. Her mother always told her that there was nothing that a little hard work and concentration couldn't overcome, and Adrienne found that she was right.
So when she was the first to finish her Supernatural History final, everyone was surprised except for Adrienne. History was her favorite subject after all, plus she really didn't want to be late for her outing with Zach. No, she wasn't going to call it a 'date'; even she knew not to count her chickens before they hatched (or however the saying went). This was just her keeping a promise to a guy; granted, it was a guy that she was interested in but she wasn't going to get her hopes up even though they shared a kiss the day before. Zach had been the one to initiate it, and that would normally be taken as a good sign. But Adrienne was still a little too jaded by the situation with Simon, and as a result she was determined to not to put much thought into Zach's actions.
Despite her misgivings Adrienne was looking forward to spending time with Zach as they explored the outside of the school. The forests were her favorite by far, but even she hadn't had time to explore them in their entirety. As she walked to the main hall Adrienne sketched out the path she'd take with Zach that day. They'd have to start on the main path that cut through the middle of the forest, but then she'd take him West toward the mountains where she was sure she spotted a cave the night of the full moon. If anything, the area might provide some challenging terrain and it had been far too long since Adrienne had the chance to do any sort of hiking.
She arrived in the main hall completely dressed for an outdoor adventure. She was wearing a pair of comfortable, hip hugging blue jeans that flared slightly over her brown hiking boots that added an inch to her height. Instead of wearing an overly bulky jacket, Adrienne opted for layering two long-sleeved shirts under a soft, grey cashmere sweater. Her gloves were stuffed in her back pocket and a black and white scarf hung from her neck. To top off her outdoor ensemble Adrienne wore a charcoal-grey fleece headband, her dark hair falling over it in torrents. She leaned against the wall much in the same fashion that Zach had the day before as she waited for him to arrive.
