Ding Dong
Date: October 13th 2012
Time: 2PM
Location: St. Mary’s
Characters: Ruby Nightintail and Michael Summers
Description: Ruby has been given a group project for her photography class. Her partner is Michael Summers. They are both heading to St. Mary’s to take pictures of church and see how their relationship unfolds.
Status: Private, in progress

Ruby had been in Crescent Cove for a few months and her impression of the place since her arrival was almost the same, she still didn’t like it here. The fact that her twin brother had yet to join her might also be the reason why Ruby hated the place so much. However her adoptive parents kept telling her to wait and Evo would soon be there to join her in Crescent Cove, she just had to wait.

However in the meantime Ruby was place into the local high school where she spent most of her time to herself. She would talk to people here and there but she never went out of her way to get to know anyone. Then in photography class she was given a group project, Ruby was hoping she could work alone but the teacher had other plans. She had placed Ruby with a Michael Summers. That was the first time Ruby even knew he existed in her class for she never paid attention to the guy but he seemed a bit nerdy and strange to Ruby. However she did think he was a little cute once you got past his strangeness but that didn’t make Ruby want to spend more time with him then she had to. That was just how she was since she left her pack in Illinois, she liked to be alone.

Ruby arrived to St. Mary’s where the two agreed to meet for their class’s assignment. Their assignment were churches and what better place than to come to St. Mary’s. Ruby asked her adoptive parents about this place, they said it was the largest church in the county and many people came here to get married so Ruby assumed it had to be beautiful. It was later in October and the leaves were changing colors. Maybe they could be able to get a decent picture if the church wasn’t what Ruby was expecting. Ruby’s adoptive mom brought her to the church; she climbed out the family’s SUV and bid her good.

“I’ll be back in a few hours.” Caroline said as Ruby climbed out of her car. “That should be enough time for the two of you to finish this project. If you get done sooner just call me.” With that she drove away leaving Ruby behind.

Ruby was wearing a dusty pink top that flowed out at the bottom and was cut in the front to show off her stomach but she wore a white tank top under that since the chilly weather was too much to wear the blouse alone. She also had blue jeans on that were ripped at the knees with black leg warmers underneath. She liked to show off some skin but her hate for being cold was much greater. Ruby swung her backpack onto her back and made her way over to the church. She had no idea what time Michael was arriving but that didn’t bother her, she wanted to see the church before he arrived to see what they could possibly take pictures of.

Michael could think of a lot of things he'd rather be doing than a school photography project. It wasn't like he didn't enjoy the class, but his Saturdays were usually spent relaxing. And by relaxing, it usually consisted of training, which was kind of relaxing in a way. He also knew that, probably, he'd like to be hanging out with Ezra instead. They did have a date planned later that day - they had hung out at school and everything since they had met but Michael hadn't decided on anything official until the day prior. He asked Ezra to go on a "real date" and he'd accepted. Understandably, Michael was quite nervous.

And now he was going to be nervous the entire time he was doing this photography project. He tried to put it out of his mind, but your first real date was something of a milestone, and being nearly 18 it was a long overdue one. Plus, it was with a boy - another fact Michael was trying to wrap his head around to understand. He had never thought of himself that way before. Gay. Hah. It was a funny thing to think of, really. He found himself alternatively shaking his head and laughing a little as he walked from the bus stop - which was way too far away, in his opinion - to St. Mary-By-The-Sea, the church they had been assigned for their project. The project was on old churches around Crescent Cove, and they got the oldest by far.

As he walked up, he knew immediately it was old. What really struck him was how creepy it was. Even on a relatively cloudless day, the large church shrouded in a dense fog. It was like walking into a movie or something. He found Maine cold to begin with in comparison to some other places he had lived, and wore a heavy jacket regardless but he felt the chill seeping into his veins anyway. He wasn't entirely sure that it had anything to do with the temperature.

A little ahead of him, he could see who he assumed Ruby to be. He had seen her in class before, but the name-to-face association hadn't been made just yet. Michael, as a general life rule, did not make friends. He moved too frequently for that to really be a thing anyway, so remembering his classmates names had never really been important. He actually had a little slip of paper with her hair color and name so he could at least recognize that much. "Ruby." He said quietly to himself, just to solidify who she was before he actually walked up to her and called her Rebecca or something like that. It took only a few moments to close the gap between them, and he figured in a weird place like this it would be better to call out. Once more, he said her name, only louder this time. "Ruby! Hi, sorry if I'm late, the bus kind of sucked." He was now standing next to her, both of them staring at the huge church. He was somewhat awe-struck.

"Kind of weird huh? I'm Michael, by the way." He held out a hand to her.
