Gabriel walked into the indoor pool area. This Gym had seemed different than the one he was use to back in Los Angeles, more "professional-looking". He wasn't use to this new town yet, though he was use to moving back and forth with his mother and father. He figured he was going to have to get use to this lifestyle, at least until the summer, when he moves back, with his dad.
The room was completely silent, he sighed as his footsteps echoed throughout the empty room. His bag overlapped on his shoulder, he walked over to an empty chair, sat down and began to undress to his swimming trunks. He decide that he was going to take a swim, a couple laps around the pool. He threw his bag, filled with his clothes, over to the side. Gabriel walked over to the diving board and dove in, he started his laps speeding up and down the pool.

Once again, the urge to go had struck Lilith. She was still getting used to the City, it was so different than what she knew, but she wouldn't be around much longer, so it didn't really matter.
As she had wandered and explored, she had come across the Gym. One more place she had never ventured.
A swim sounds relaxing she thought with a smirk. So after a quick trip to fetch her suit, she ducked into the building, clad in her bikini and a pair of short cut-off jeans.
As soon as she reached the pool, she crossed her arms over her chest, the flimsy button-up blouse tossed over them, and watched the single occupant for a few moments, just out of idle curiosity.

Gabriel swam up and down the pool practicing his breast stroke. He continued this for a while, until he noticed a girl across the pool as she began to stand at the pool. He glanced at her but kept swimming, while she stood in place. He debated whether or not he should go over and talk to her, his arms were beginning to get tired and he was running out of breathe. He didn't NOT want to say "hi", that would make him out to be rude.
He swam to the shallow end of the pool and stood up catching his breath. He looked over to her as he stood in the water, "Hey" he greeted, wiping the water from his face.

Lilith blinked as he swam up to her, her face coloring slightly, as she realizing that she had been lost in thought.
"Hey," she said, turning to drop her shirt in the nearest chair. She was at a loss of how to describe her stare,a nd choose to ignore it, hoping he would do the same. She shucked off her shorts, and tossed them over as well. She scanned the pool a moment, and dismissed the diving board and the shallow end. She perfered to jump in headfirst.
Grinnging ot herself, she made her way to the deep in, and dove in one smooth motion. She swam for several feet and then broke the surface.
"I haven't seen you around. Are you in school?" she asked as she tred water. She had only lived in the city for a few months, but knew most of the kids from school on sight, it was a gift, and curse.

Gabriel watched the girl as she seemed to stare at him. She came to eventually, and greeted him as she walked over toward the opposite end of the pool. He watched her as she dove into the pool, he hadn't seen her before but she looked around his age. He began to swim over toward the deeper end of the pool, he now swam afloat in the middle of the pool. He looked over to the girl as she surfaced the water, "Uh..yeah I go to New York High." he said looking at her.

It was a Saturday morning and Lauren was in the mood to go for a swim. After she had had her breakfast and had a wash she went into her bedroom where she pulled on a black bikini with a pink playboy logo on the bottom part of the bikini. Once she had her bikini on she pulled on a denim skirt and a pale blue vest top all she needed now was a pair of flip flops. The outfit was rather summery looking, but it was a warm day so that made it all the better. Once she had packed her bag with her towel, shampoo and conditioner, Lauren set off to make her way towards the gym which had a great indoor swimming pool.
Luckily the gym was only a fifteen minute walk from where Lauren lived so she didn't have to muck around with taxies and god knows what else of transportation. Lauren walked through the door and showed the receptionist her student id card. The receptionist gave a nod and opened the gate. Before Lauren walked into the pool area she glanced through the glass to see if there was anyone in the pool. There was and there was someone she knew which was nice. Lauren smiled and then walked into the pool area. She got to a chair and dropped her bag down on it, then started to remove her clothering to reveal her playboy bikini. "Hey Lilith." Said Lauren with a friendly wave.
Lauren walked further down the pool until it was deep enough to do a dive off the side in. When it was she raised her arms above her head and dove in head first. She came to the surface and swam towards Lilith and the boy she was talking to. "Hi, whos your friend?" Asked Lauren giving the boy a friendly smile.

Lilith was about to reply, when she heard a familar voice. Instead, she simply nodded, not offering any information of her own in return, and waved in Lauren's direction. As soon as hte other girl surface, she shrugged in response to her question.
"We hadn't gotten that far," she said with a small smile.
{{Sorry about the shortness ~ just not a good day for RP}}

ooc: It's alright, it happens.
"Oh right, sorry." Said Lauren with a short laugh. She looked back at the boy and thought best to introduce herself as now she felt abit awkward. "I'm Lauren, Lauren Winters." She said friendly. Lauren tred water as she waited for the boy to introduce himself to the both of them before Lauren began talking to the pair again. Lauren found it slightly awkward to talk to someone when she doesn't know their name. May sound abit weird but she just doesn't like to call people 'thing'. Lauren brushed her hair back out of her face and also the water while she waited for him to reply.

Gabriel waited for a reply from the girl, when another girl walked into the pool area. They seemed to have known each other, as they begun talking almost instantly. He watched the girl, undressed and dove into the pool and the two began talking again. Gabriel gave a small smile back, in the awkwardness and looked to the newest girl as she introduced herself, "Gabriel Foxx" he said in reply to her. He looked back and forth between the two girls, "So I guess you two know each other" he said stating the obvious in a sarcastically playful manner.

Lauren smiled when Gabriel introduced himself. "Nice to meet you." Lauren quickly glanced around the pool area to see if anyone else had come in, but no, the three were still alone. Not even swimming guards were there which was rather dangerous, but luckily all three could swim so they wern't in to much danger. Lauren heard Gabriel ask her question so she looked back at him and began to answer. "Well kinda, we met on the school grounds and got chatting whilst walking round school." She leaned forward and whispered jokingly. "We were skipping lessons." Said Lauren with a slight giggle after.

Lilith had watched the exchange between the two with very little emotion. She had felt so detached and distance lately. From everything and everyone. Realinzing that an akward silence had begun to spread, she smiled slightly, and nodded in Gabriel's direction. She had heard Lauren's comment, and thought about her own decision to 'skip' school entirely. It was only a matter of time. As soon as she felt ready, she was gone, going home.
"Lilith, Urbania," she said softly. "In case you didn't catch it."
She dipped under the water, and swam several feet, before coming back up. It wasn't as relaxing as she had thought it would be, instead, her thoughts and troubles just seemed to weigh even heavier upon her. She had hoped that it would preoccupy her and let her racing mind rest, but instead, it gave her time to let it wander.

There was now an awkward silence upon the small group. Lauren laid back and looked up whilst floating on her back for a few seconds. She then started to tread water whist trying to think of something to say that would start up a convosation. "So.....what has everyone been upto lately?" Was all Lauren could think of asking.

Gabriel swam over toward the edge of the pool, "Lilith" he echoed. "I'll remember that" he said swimming pass her. He swam over to the end of the pool and pulled himself up on the edge. He sat down, letting his feet dangle in the water. "Nothing with me really, just been bored lately" he said looking back and forth between the two girls.

Lilith smirked, as she thought it must be an epidemic, she was always bored lately. Sighing, she swam towards him, nad pulled herself out of the pool not far from him.
"Yeah, me too, join the club," she said softly. She wrapped her arms around her legs,a nd stared off into the water once mroe, thinking it was time, she needed to just leave this all behind, gather her allies and go home. Gather my allies? Where did that come from, she thought wryly. She sounded as if she was preparing for war. And in the back of her mind, it rang so true.
She realized that she had lost herself in her own mind again, and so turned her attention to Lauren.
"How 'bout you?' she asked suddenly, deciding to continue the conversation, rather than to just let her own mind lose itself in itself, and wander away.
