Bruno

Bruno felt a little embarrassed as Toby immediately dismissed everything he had said to try and encourage him. But hey, at least he was going to sign up. That was a win in Bruno's book. Maybe Toby would stop being so down because of his height if he made the team. But, secretly, Bruno didn't really have a lot of faith in the much shorter boy. He was sort of right about the whole height thing. The coach probably wouldn't. And off the group went, back over to the soccer signup booth. Bruno watched as the shorter boy signed up for the soccer team, and then he quickly glanced over to the other side of the field. His brother was talking to a girl. Odd. He was never usually seen talking to them, he was usually too shy.

Anyway, he turned his attention back to Toby, who now seemed to be a little embarrassed over his.... shoes? Bruno looked down at them, and realised what he was talking about. They were being held up by duct tape. Ouch. Bruno, of course, said nothing. He didn't want to embarrass Toby like Marco clearly did. Instead, he kept his mouth quiet, and pondered upon the question of where the trio should eat. There were a lot of choices. Burgers, pizza, and-eugh, corndogs. He hated those fried abominations. He ate one once and he felt like throwing up afterwards. Burgers was probably a pretty safe option.

"Should we go and grab some burgers guys? I can see a burger place over there. Or there seems to be a pizza stand a little bit further. I wouldn't mind either, so I guess it's up to you guys."

Dominik

While Davina spoke, Dominik was unsure whether to look her in the eyes or not. Looking her in the eyes would be weird, and not might show that he didn't care about what she was saying. So, he switched between the two, trying not to look strange as he did it, as he listened to Davina talking about her Summer. It appeared that she had a much more interesting Summer than he did. Then, she suddenly apologised about knocking into him. If it was anyone else, he would have been mildly annoyed, but.... he couldn't be mad at Davina. He was momentarily distracted by a shout at her from a crowd, but quickly turned back when he heard that Davina had finished speaking. A little more confidently than last time, he spoke.

"Your Summer sounds like it was pretty cool! And don't worry about knocking into me, I know it wasn't your fault.

He gave a small smile before Davina mentioned if they should play some games.

"Uh, sure, I'd like to play some games if you want to!"

I'm typing up a post now. I've had tonnes of homework recently, so it's nice that some people are being patient :)

I'm going to work on my relations sheets for a bit.

Bruno

Bruno blushed a little as Toby revealed that he wasn't a child prodigy, but indeed fifteen like him and most others in the grade, apart from the few straggler sixteen year olds. Toby was obviously trying not to get a little annoyed, but Bruno could definitely hear the annoyance in his voice, just being pushed back past the facade of happiness and understanding that was being put out by the short boy. Bruno couldn't imagine how it must feel being seen as less of a person because of your height or looks. At least, that's what Bruno imagined happened to Toby. He couldn't really relate. Bruno apologised

"Oh, I'm really sorry! Don't worry, I won't call you one again, I promise.

Bruno gave a quick smile, then listened to what Landon was saying about how Toby should join the soccer team. Would the smaller boy really be a good player? As mentioned, football players really didn't need to be tall. Lionel Messi, who some consider the best football player in the world, is towered over by a lot of other football players. But he can weave, dodge and run amongst them. So who's to say Toby couldn't be a good footballer. He once again turned to Toby and spoke.

"You know what, I actually agree with Landon. You should try out for the team. A small striker can do a lot of damage to a team with lots of tall people on it. You can duck and weave and run through them. Ever hear of Nathan Dyer? He's a professional player who plays in the top league in England, the Premier League. He's also one of the shortest players in the world. Anything is possible."

Bruno

Bruno silently let out a breath of air. He was very glad that the situation hadn't escalated into something bad. It could have easily. Toby looked as if he really wanted to cause a fight, and Bruno really, really did not like fights. He glanced over at Landon talking to the apparent prodigy kid, and then turned around to respond to Marco, who had addressed him.

"I know, I know. I just thought I needed to come over and make sure nothing happens, you know? It's always bad when a fight occurs, and I really didn't want to see one take place when we're hardly even into the first day back after the Summer! And yes, my name is Bruno, it's nice to formally meet you."

Bruno gave a quick nod of recognition to the newly introduced Maria, and then turned his attention back to Landon and Toby. Toby now seemed to be apologising for loosing his cool and nearly starting a fight. Bruno could respect that. He believed that people should always apologise if they are in the wrong. If they don't, then they clearly haven't learned anything at all, and that means that they would commit the act again. Bruno leaned down and took Toby's hand, and shook it.

"Hi, sorry if I seemed a bit aggressive there, I just don't like people causing fights, you know? Landon already told you my name, but I'm Bruno. It's nice to meet you. Are you, like, one of those child prodigies?

Dominik

After signing up for the art club, and chatting to some of the kids hanging around there, Dominik was wandering around a little aimlessly, secretly hoping to "accidentally" bumping into the girl that had been on his mind a bit over the Summer. Davina. He didn't know why she had been on his mind, but she had. It was odd.

Someone suddenly bumped into him and he stumbled for a second before regaining his balance. He was about to turn around and try to be a little confrontational, but he found himself looking into the face of the girl that he had been looking for in the first place, apologising nervously before asking if Dominik had a good summer. Nerves shook through Dominik's body as he could feel his face getting a little red. Nervously, he answered, in a voice with an accent that was just that bit thicker than his brothers.

"Oh, uh, hi Davina! I've been pretty good, I guess. How have you been? Did you have a good summer?"

Dominik blushed quite strongly as he spoke, feeling quite awkward.

Bruno

Bruno smiled as Landon came over and greeted him. He liked Landon, he was a pretty decent guy. He was a pretty damn good football player to. Bruno replied in a mildly thick Croatian accent. It had been slowly westernised over the years that he had spent in the US.

"Hello Landon! It's good to see you! How was your summer? Do anything nice, go anywhere interesting?"

Bruno was always very enthusiastic when he talked to people for the first time in a while. It was nice to catch up with people and see how they'd been, Bruno believed. That's not what his brother thought, though. Where was Dominik? Probably hanging around with the other art kids. People do what they want to do, Bruno supposed.

He suddenly glanced over and saw the really short kid from earlier engage in some sort of mishap with a much taller, freckled boy. He quickly apologised to Landon before pushing through the crowd to get to the apparent scuffle, with the intention of stopping it. He glared at the very short boy, a glare that said "Don't even think about it"
