The stars will cry....

[Riki Davis]

Riki sat on a bench in the front courtyard, listening to Story of the year on his ipod. Life sucked...As usual.

(Aw!)

Leci had spent the past few hours in Railegh, grabbing a bite to eat off-campus for a change. She'd had a lovely night alone... but she was in need of some company now. Too much alone time wasn't good for anyone. She headed back onto campus, making her way through the front courtyard. Fumbling to put her cell phone in her purse, she glanced over at a bench, seeing one of her classmates sitting there. She didn't know who he was... but he seemed like he wanted to be alone. Rather than introduce herself like she normally would, she smiled at the boy, waving amicably as she slowed her pace just a bit.

Even though Riki was totally deaf, he saw the girl wave. He smiled weakly, and gave her a head nod as if to say hello. He had seen her before...But hadn't really talked to her.

[Petey]

Leci saw him smiling some back... eh, it was something. Figuring the boy wanted his space, though, she sighed some to herself and continued through the front courtyard, tucking some hair behind her ear as the wind picked up a bit. It was getting chilly out quickly!

[Riki Davis]

Watching her walked away, Riki shrugged. He figured she would come over and say hello, but girls are so unpredictable, you never know.
