[u][I]The pool[/i][/u] 

It was relatively quiet at the pool for the time of day. A handful of teens were lounging around, having drinks and sunbathing. The only people in the pool were two girls who were chatting on a pink and purple floatie. They were laughing and pointing at one of the guys who dove into the pool to retrieve their sunken sunglasses. 

The lifeguard sat on a lounge bed closest to the pool, most likely bored out of his skull. He was wearing sunglasses and staring at his phone. It didn’t look like he was particularly busy. It didn’t take him long to notice the new arrival among the regulars. A guy with aggressively dyed blonde hair and hot pink swimming shorts. Zach cannon balled into the pool which made him smirk. 

He zoomed in on Zach and snapped a picture before making his way over to him.

The [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/7f/21/f6/7f21f6012342043b4fb6e96886a0d028.jpg]lifeguard[/url] had a cocky attitude about him. He picked up a bottle of sunblock and played around with it, throwing it up over his head and catching it behind his back. He lifted up his sunglasses and smiled. 

[u][i]The gym[/i][/u]

He grabbed the bottle of water beside him and glugged it down. It was way too hot for this crap. He dried off his face with his tank top. This gym session was forced on him and he came half prepared. Only for the moron not to show up. Thiago could be such an asshole sometimes. 

He got up from his seat to stretch. A weird looking guy entered the gym. He was giving heavy grease lightning vibes and didn’t look at all like he had any business working out. Charlie was sure he did though, likely when he wasn’t parading around dressed like John Travolta. The guy was built solid. It was annoying. Charlie didn’t feel like finishing up his set and he walked up to the new guy.

[u][i]The Cafeteria [/i][/u]

Upon entering the cafeteria, Aleen'a would be met with the sight of various teenagers seated at tables. Some tables were nearly filled up, while others had no more than two people sharing a meal and conversation. 

[color=Firebrick]“Gotta love Nacho Day!”[/color] A passing teen said aloud amongst his group of friends. The group was on their way to the longer line in the cafeteria serving nachos with a station for toppings and condiments beyond the front of the line. Other food options were available of course but not quite as popular today.  Just as Aleen'a absorbed all before her eyes, a voice of intrigue addressed her from behind.

[Color=skyblue]“Whoa… I mean, hi! You're just really tall. I mean that's not a bad thing but it's… cool? I'm sorry if that's offensive or anything. I just… I just have a hard time breaking the ice with new people and… and I'm talking way too much.”[/color] She frowned before she simply decided to just stick to the basics. [Color=skyblue]“What I mean to say is… Hi, my name is [url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/837776228794368011/934836914425561108/unknown.png]Cecile[/url] and I haven't seen you around here before. When'd you get here?”[/color]
