OPEN || Among The Trees

[Evangeline 'Max' Talanaz.]

Evangeline sat in The Grounds, inbetween two large trees. One climbed up towards the Heavens, it seemed to be endless. It's branch's blossemed with green leaves. The one next to it was smaller - but still large. It's leaves where wilting so Evangeline placed her slightly calloused hands on the stump of the tree. The leaves slowly sprang up and there brown colour became a lumecent green.
A gentle smile appeared on Evangeline's lips.
Plants seemed to be the only thing that could make her smile these day's.

Evangeline reached into her bag and got out one of her books from class.
She opened it up to the bookmarked page and began to read. She quickly became bored and she wrang her hands together.
She lifted her knees to her chin and looked out at the university.
Her thoughts wondered until they came to the subject of the dead girl.
She knew that someone here was a murdered and it made her nervous.
Evangeline wasn't a very trusting person to begin with and this just set her on edge. She didn't know if she could trust anyone now, and it scared her.

[Octavia Harrington]

In the high school setting, rumors spread like wildfire among the student population. However, the current topic of discussion was not a pointless rumor like who was dating who. No. The whispers amongst the halls were all about one thing: the recent murder. A murder of a young gifted that had pretty much left everyone in shock and surprise. Heck, it even left a certain Octavia Harrington in surprise; and Harringtons don't surprise easily. Trying to ignore the fact that the whispers suddenly grew in amount as she walked down the school grounds, Octavia was tempted to roll her eyes. It wasn't necessarily that the whispers and gossip were being directed solely towards her; in actuality, a good majority of the gifted students seemed to come to the conclusion that the gifted girl had possibly been murdered by a demigod. To Octavia, the thought was pretty ridiculous. She couldn't imagine anyone she knew who would even do such a thing. In fact, they wouldn't even try and attempt it.

"Whatever, they can think whatever they want."

[/color] She quietly murmured under her breath as she glared at a passing gifted student. If anyone was responsible for the murder, Octavia would bet that it was some sort of mythical creature. Shutting her eyes, she took a deep breath. While she didn't want to accept the fact that a demigod could have possibly killed the poor girl, she knew deep in the crevices of her mind that it was a possibility. After all, it was rumored that the very last person with her had the ethereal presence that only a demigod had. But it was only a rumor. Shaking her head in hopes that the thoughts would disappear, Octavia noticed that she was unconsciously walking towards another student. A perfectly plucked eyebrow raising slightly, she strutted towards her.

"Any particular reason that you're alone? I mean, it's not like anyone is these days."[/color] Truer words have never been spoken. After all, the girl was just found not too long ago.

OOC , sorry that it isn't very good!

[Evangeline 'Max' Talanaz.]

Evangeline watched as gifted ones walked past, whispering and pointing.
She knew it was suspected that a demi-god did it, but she had her doubts.

She looked up as another girl walked towards her.
She was rather pretty and Evangeline suspected that she might be a daughter of Aphrodite. But then again, Evangeline wasn't a very good judge.

"Any particular reason that you're alone? I mean, it's not like anyone is these days." asked the girl.

Evangeline glared up at her and said "I am alone because I have no one to be with." Evangeline new it would come off as her being sinister, but it was simply her being honest.
She had no friends, and she wasn't good at making [or keeping] them so she preferred to just sit by herself among the trees.
Evangeline was not afraid of this so called 'murderer' as sh did not believe that he [or her] would attack in broad daylight.
Evangeline then looked down at her book again and started to pretend to read, purposely being rude - hoping that this girl would go away.

OOC: Nah, it was fine!
