It didn't take her very long to finish her breakfast, moving to grab a small bit of water to brush her teeth, tossing the disposable brush into the trash bin, along with the rest of her garbage, and left a few dollars to tip for the speedy service, before putting her plate onto a receiving shelf. Returning to her table, she pulled her bookbag over her shoulder, and picked up the bear again, making a small joke that it must not have been that hungry with all the adventuring they did the night before. She stepped outside, shivering slightly as the wind caught her exposed throat, which she touched in reflex, nature reminding her that she forgot her scarf at home. Sighing softly, she started towards her school again, passing the familiar scene of the small park from the night before. As the bell clock chimed, she hurried her steps. That chime meant it was half past, she had fifteen minutes to get to her class across campus! Even though she moved at a brisk pace, she easily weaved through the mass of people who were shuffling about the hallways. Arriving at her home economics class, she waved to the older woman at the front to immediately smiled towards the girl. [b]"Working on that blazer and vest, are you?" [/b] Sara beamed, nodding. [color=f49ac2][b]"Mhm. It just took a little work to get the patterns all fixed up."[/b][/color] She went to work after putting her teddy bear into the seat next to her, before beginning the rhythmic drumming of the sewing machine. It took almost the entire period, but she finished, brushing off the excess thread and trimming up any spare edges before slipping the tan vest over the bear's white fur, and slipping its soft paws through the sleeves of the blazer she had made. Deciding to button, or un-button it, she simply left it open. Her eyes went to the clock, and she waved goodbye, while other students went about finishing up their latest sewing project. [color=f49ac2][b]"You look like a real student, now. Very sharp."[/b][/color] She grinned, making her way through the halls again. Her destination was going to be the library to hopefully check out a few books to read over the weekend. As she left the building and was hit with the elements again, a strong force caused her to fall backwards onto the pavement. [b]"Watch where the hell you're going, you stupid--OH! Look who it is!" [/b] A young man with dark black hair and blue eyes stared down towards Sara. He was wearing the appropriate pants and vest, but wasn't wearing the blazer or tie...and his shoes weren't in regulation. He had a [url=http://webdesignclick.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Arm-Tattoos-Designs-for-Men-and-Women-39.jpg]skull tattoo[/url] on his right arm. [b]"It's Sara - [i]The Bear Whisperer![/i]"[/b] He teased, kneeling down to be eye level with her. When she fell, she had let go of the bear to catch her balance, which the man picked up and went to talk before giving pause, his eyes looking over the bear intently. [b]"Something's off with this bear, yeah? Don't you think?"[/b] He asked, seeming to be talking to the girl on the ground, but his eyes cast to his right side. [b]"I think we'll take this off your hands, dear. You really need better company. Like me for example."[/b] He grinned, passing a quick glance again to the bear before he began walking off with him in tow. [color=f49ac2][b]"N-No! Stop! Give it back, Ethan!"[/b][/color] She pleaded, scrambling to her feet, wiping off her hands and wincing slightly. Her palms had skidded lightly against the hard pavement, making them tender. The young man was much faster than she was, able to create a great distance between them. [b]"I'm doing you a favor, my dear!"[/b] He laughed, arriving at the plaza. Most student were in class still, and he tossed the bear into the fountain, the clothes and fur of the bear quickly becoming soaked as it absorbed the water, sinking slightly as it got weighed down with the cotton inside of its body. Sara stopped dead in her tracks as he threw her bear into the water. Her eyes wide and wet with large tears that threatened to fall. This bear was her prized possession, and she took great strides to take care of it. And it was now in the water fountain, the constant water rushing over its delicate fur, threatening to cause the fresh seams she had sewn moments ago to rip apart. [color=f49ac2][b]"M-My teddy bear.." [/b][/color]
