Kaitie leaned back against a tree as she relaxed outside, though the weather would make it seem as if anything other than relaxing. It was a fine temperature, but the sky was filled with dark clouds creating a feeling as if it was going to rain. Kaitie didn't care though, she had gone out to escape being at school, and constantly being reminded of her past among other things, like her parents wanting her to be smart and graduate and then go to college, and then the people that knew her sister Jessica Dylan, and then of course her parents thought she would be like depressed so they were trying to send her to a grief counselor.

Kaitie let out a sigh as she crossed her arms over her chest. She was watching people as they passed by, and at the same time she was avoiding any social contact with people. Though she wanted to be someone at school, her past was something she wanted to keep out of the spotlihgt, but something had too give, since she was not going to give up on anything. She ran her fingers through her brown hair and looked over her outfit. It was so simple, so it was no wonder why she had gon unnoticed more recently. She was wearing a pair of dar fitted jeans, and a simple gray jacket over a white tank top.

It used to be that on any day like this, you would find Kaitie on the beach, hanging out, or something, but in the past year so much had happened, and she didn't feel like her old self. Of course she was still the same when people saw her, and she didn't express anything about how she really felt, but people who really knew her would have noticed these changes, but she didnt ever get to know people when she lived there to have anyone notice the changes in her lfie. Now she was simply sitting and relaxing in the california weather.

Kaitie fooled around with the zipper on her jacket out of boredom, as she let her eyes gaze out across the field. She was simply sitting there bored out of her mind, as she noticed another figure approach the tree, seeing as she was so dressed down, she wouldn't have been surprised if someone didn't even notice her sitting there, so it came as a surprise to her when he sat down an actually acknowledged her existence. Since her coming to Callahan no one had really noticed her, which she sometimes appreciated because she had an interesting past, but it wasn't that bad or anything at all.

"Yeah, I don't mind," Kaitie said shrugging her shoulders slightly. "I'm Kaitie," she said, seeing as he told her his name, she might as well introduce herself. She looked over in his direction when he had sat down, just to look at who she was talking to. Of course Kaitie didn't necessarily look at guys and judge their looks as much as she had in the past, but even she had to admit, he was wasn't bad looking or anything, and she didn't care, because it seemed to her like every person in the state of California had found someone. Her mom had found a new boyfriend, and her dad was probably marrying another woman for the money again, and it seemed as if the school was no different, there were couples evrywhere.

Kaitie smiled back simply out of courtesy, seeing as she didn't seem like the happiest of people all the time. She glanced down noticing the tattoo. She had thought about getting one multiple times, but every time she decided not to because she knew that her parents wouldn't care, and that was usually her motives for things was to get them to at least notice they had another daughter now, who was back, even though she never visited her mom's appartment, and she refused to see her dad since he got remarried, so she spent most her time simply hanging around the school and the town, like she was at the moment, looking for something to do.

She listened to his question as she looked up once more at the sky, letting her eyes wander around. "Yeah, I used to go to a school on the east coast, but my family was here, so I decided to come back here for a while," Kaitie replied, looking back over in his direction. "So I am guessing you have been around here for a while then?" she asked, makign simple conversation to pass the time she usually spent doing absolutely nothing worth her time, so it was at least something other than sitting around and doing nothing liike she did most of the time.

"I don't exactly think one boarding school is different from another, ever," Kaitie replied looking off at the field once again as she rolled up the sleeves of her jacket. She was truly avoiding the question of what had her so down, seeing as she was not going to troublw someone else with her family issues, and everything else that was going on in her life at the moment, seeing as nothing could get worse than her current state of being a nobody, and moving to a new school in her junior year of high school. She looked back over at him with his next question, as he eyes glanced at the scar on his arm, but she ignore it.

"I never actually liked the east coast, it is just weird being back in California all of the sudden," Kaitie said with a slight shrug of her shoulders. "And by saying you have to find your place again, I am guessing you were gone for some reason?" Kaitie asked, simply out of her own curiosity, not necessarily out of prying for information like she knew some people to do, like most of the people at her old school. She adjusted the way her back was leaning against the tree, as the ground began to be not the most comfortable place to sit.

Kaitie wasn't exactly, and didn't exactly consider herself your average California girl. She had spent most of her life trying to make her own image for herself, since for the first thirteen years of her life she lived in her sister's shadow, but everything changes when your family loses all of their money and ship you away to the other side of the country. Either way, it seemed like anywhere you go, everyone has their own problems, they were always different. "Only problem with those pictures is the pretty people don't really exist and everyone has something they're hiding," Kaitie stated.

Kaitie had to consider the thought of actually telling someone something about herself as she usually kept her life more private, but her mind continued through thoughts for a moment, to come up with a decision. "I will only tell, only if you tell me first," Kaitie finally answered him. Kaitie wasn't really the sharing type of person most of the time, seeing as she usually kept most of her life to herself, and most of the time she would keep it this way, but at the moment she didn't care if she actually told someone what was wrong, seeing as she actually though it may make her feel better to at least say something about what was going on in her life.

Kaitie’s light green eyes glistened in the California sun, as she looked up at the sky. One thing she could never get tired of in California was the constant sun, or at least it was sunny most of the time, which was a nice change from the east coast. It took her a moment to listen to him, but she was not going to run or anything like that. “I don’t think I am just going to run off or anything, besides, I made a deal anyway,” Kaitie replied, turning away to think of a way to phrase her side of it all, seeing as she never talked about what was going on in her life.

“In the past six months, my boyfriend jumped off a cliff and I held myself responsible, because I was there, then I came back here, where my sister got in a car crash and died after she graduated, so I kind of never got over it, and that is what has me so upset right now,” Kaitie answered looking back in his direction once she had finished saying it all. She usually didn’t talk about it because she felt responsible for her boyfriend dying, since she was the one who had the idea of drinking on the beach, and she had neglected the fact that they were both drunk, which made everything even worse.
