Enjoying the Sun (Open Tag)

[johson]

Ash had gone out side to find a quiet and secluded spot somewhat so he could hook his ipod up to a small speaker set so that he could listen to his music eat and still listen out for people, he found a bench which was quiet and empty, it had a good view so he took a moment to sit down before setting his lunch bag down on it.

"Ash." Sage yelled as she approached.

"Sage." he said as she sat down opposite him. "By all means sit." he said she gave him a sheepish smile.

"I can.." she started.

"No its fine, the company is all good." Ashton said to her she smiled at this.

"You got food from your favourite eatery right?" she asked.

"Yeah I went by their before school." he said to her. "I got sick of eating lunch in the cafeteria, that place does only one type of food and thats the inedible type." he said to her as he took out plastic containers with various things in them.

"You have enough to feed an army bro." she said to him he laughed.

"I know but I knew I had a little sister who would barge in on my lunch and steal half of what I brought." Ashton said to her she giggled. "Help yourself anyway, if you want that is." Ashton said to her as he turned on the music.

"Ash." she growled.

"What, you may want to be out here with me but that does not mean I am not going to turn on the music anyway." Ashton said to her with a smile.

He hoped for a quiet lunch, now he had his sister there he wondered if the entire school knew where he liked to hang out and have a quiet lunch.

[Sarah Hayes]

(OOC: I figured since we both have an open post...why not come join in, lol)

Sarah got tired of sitting alone so she got up. It was not like she was looking for company. She just got sick of sitting outside and was going to head back inside. She removed the earphones from her ears and went to put away the Ipod. she threw her lunch out and headed back inside. Sarah pulled out the latest Rolling Stone magazine to read up on an Aerosmith article. She heard they were on tour and she hoped they would make their was out here. Hell she would drive to the next state to see them. Okay maybe not her, but she could beg Alex to do it. She smiled.

She was walking when she heard music. Music always perked up her ears. Especially when she did not recognize the band. And here Sarah thought she knew all there was to know about music. Then again she could be bad at times. She stopped and turned and walked over to see a guy and a younger girl in what looked like a squabble. If that was the word. She often had those with her younger sister. As different as they were. They did get along.

Sarah heard the conversation as she walked up and smiled at the brother and sister. "Off campus food. I should try that. Call it wishful thinking, but I keep thinking one day the food here will actually be edible. I have yet to see the day." Sarah said to the duo. "I hope I am not interrupting, but I heard the song and I have to ask who the band is?" She was going to feel stupid if she knew the band but not the song. Then again this would not be the first time. Yes, even Sarah could have her moments. "Hi. I am Sarah, but some people call me Bass."

Ash looked at the girl who had approached them for a second before nodding, "Of campus food is the only way I have found to survive the school, most of the food here on a good day will end you up in the hospital, well I think so anyway... This I get from the local Italian deli, and let me tell you its one of the best kept secrets in LA." Ashton said to her with a grin.

"By all means, plenty of space at the table." Ash added as he moved his stuff to one side of the table rather than in the middle of it so the girl would have space. "As for the band I can't remember, I was looking for some tunes on line the other night, and found this one it was a great little song so I added it. Can't remember the name of the band though." Ashton said to her.

"Nice to meet you Bass." Sage said to the girl. "I'm Sage, this knucklehead is Ashton but we call him Ash, or captain on the field." Sage said to her with a smile.

"Knucklehead huh, for that I am cutting you of from my excellent food." Ashton said sticking his tongue out at her childishly before laughing.

[Sarah Hayes]

"Smells good. Remind me to ask for directions." Sarah said. She was always willing to try new places. Even better was dragging Alex along. It was always fun to go to new places for dates. Although Alex never disappointed on a date. He was great. Sarah smiled as she took a seat and put her bag on the floor.

"Well its a good song. I will have to remember some of the lyrics so I can look it up. In case my name did not give it away, the magazine will. I am really into music." She said as she held up the Rolling Stone magazine and pushed it aside.

She laughed at the interaction between Sage and Ash. "Nice to meet you Sage. You both are adorable. You remind me of my little sister Chelsea. Except she calls me a nuisance or annoying and I call her a brat." Sarah said laughing. That made Sarah wonder where Chelsea was and how she was adjusting to being a freshmen. Although she had a whole semester and now a month into the new one to adjust, but Sarah would admit it took her a whole year to adjust to being in school and not being schooled on the road.

She eyed Ash for a moment, "Siblings can't live with them and can't live without them."

Ash laughed as Sarah said something about not being able to live with his sister, "Believe it or not we get on pretty well." Ash said to her. "We kind of have to be able to get on pretty well, its either that or go insane, our dad the football coach likes to make sure his children do the things he wants them to." Ash said shaking his head. "I swear making me captain of the school football team, was his way of telling me that he was the one in control of my life and future for that matter." Ash added.

"For us its the parents, or parent in our case that we can't live with but can't live without either." Sage explained. "But thats another story." she went on.

"Food wise I learned in my freshman year, not to eat the food on offer at this school if you could get away with it, usually I would eat out but... that isn't always possible, say if the team decides to eat and do a mini training session or just a kick about then food becomes about being easy and accessible, and usually that means a sandwich from the cafeteria." Ashton said to her with a smile.

"That's good. That you both get along. My lil Sis Chelsea and I get along good....except when it comes to music. Then its war." Sarah laughed, "she is into pop and music that is digitally remade to sound better then it is and I am into good ole classic rock or alternative. Can't go wrong with a little Aerosmith, Sex Pistols, Beatles and Rolling Stones. There are so many more I could name, bit I figured I would stick with the most popular. Although my musical tastes do extend into other genres Rock tends to be my favorite." She smiled.

"Well for me it would be parents, but I have one particular parent I can't seem to be on the same page as. My mom and your dad should talk. She likes to control my life too. Too bad I have my dad wrapped around my pinky or else she might get away with making my dye my hair back to brown." Sarah eyed Sage, "Pink is a much better color. Although I think next month I might go blue." She laughed.

"Sounds like your team and you are devoted to football. I just hope you don't pay for the sandwhich later. You might try leaving a sandwhich from home in your locker." Sarah shrugged. "For me it was the smell. My freshman year I walked into the caf and walked right back out. The food just smells awful." She commented. "I would rather eat hospital food. I do enjoy my lunch period but as long as I don't have to sit inside. If I sit inside then I can't wait for it to be over. " That's why she liked sitting outside. So she could enjoy her lunch hour.

"Speaking of lunch being over. The bell will be a ringin soon. I guess I should go. It was a pleasure to meet you both. Feel free to come find me if you want to talk more. You can't miss me." Sarah laughed and winked.
