Snippet #1097016

Thinking back to the last few years, Evie decided she hadn't done enough. She hadn't become a cheerleader like her friends and family had encouraged "you have the perfect body and personality for it" they had insisted. She hadn't joined enough clubs, or sports. Helped enough people, made enough friends. But she promised herself that this year would be different. It was hard for her as it was to have no friends in the school yet, so this promise would hopefully fix that problem.

The sun was beating down on her back, and she could already tell that she was going to have a sunburn. She was one of those pale people that didn't tan easily, they had to go through the whole process of red, pain, and peeling. Just to get a tan for maybe a few days, if at all. All depressing really. Evie looked around, seeing all of the people passing through, none of them looked familiar. None of them even stopped to talk. Not that she seemed inviting, any boy that looked her way she glared away, any girl that looked at her full of hope at finding a friend, she turned away from. There had been many people though that had passed by the pool, to tan or talk. Even more had come into the pool for a swim.

Evie turned around at the sound of someone addressing her, and saw a boy with a smile playing on his lips. She swam to the side of the pool and rested her chin on her arm. Smiling and her eyes squinting at the sun, she extended one hand in greeting. "I'm Evie, but you can call me V. Pleasure making your acquaintance. What's your name?" Looking behind her, out of habit not liking having people behind her, she addressed his question, "No, I'm not looking for anyone in particular, I just lost all of my friends to graduation", she laughed, "I'm just hoping to find someone that I know." She stared more at his face, in all hopes trying not to be creepy, "You look familiar though, have you been in any of my classes?" She had a small amount of hope. This boy wasn't bad looking either, the way the light shined behind him, and the way he smirked...yeah. She could stand having him around as a friend.
