Week Two: Friday
Who: Nell and Micah When: Friday Evening after class Where: Front of the school and off to the shop.
Since coming to this place Nell had avoided going out. Blake had several times she was sure, but she preferred to stay at the school and get things done. It had been a long time since she had ever had homework and it took a considerable amount of time to do, really. But there was no real avoiding the need to get a new string for her guitar. Sure that one boy had offered but Nell despised just being handed things. It was not a situation that she liked to be in.
So that was what let her to standing at the front entrance of the school after classes were done. She had remembered to bring an umbrella with her at least and frankly she had been surprised that the two of them owned an umbrella. Still it was a lot warmer here than it would be in New York this time of year, so a little rain did not bother her. In fact she wondered just how warm it would get, considering it was only April. While she was used to sometimes sweltering heat in the city, she knew there were places that got much hotter. To tell the truth she preferred it cold.
If she had a watch she would have looked down at it to see if she had been waiting all that long. In truth she probably had not been standing there too long but the look of outside was hardly inviting. But she had walked through worst back home so there was no stopping her. She wanted that string, it was painful not being able to play if even just to pass time for a bit. A little rain was not going to deter Nell Nan.
As for the lightning she did not worry too much about that either. Chances were this boy would be taller than her anyway, so if it did for some reason strike and did not hit a building or a tree it would hit him before her. That was not an entirely kind thought but Nell did not mind the clashes of light in the sky. It had calmed down a bit at the very least.
