Welcome!

[Nora Thymes]

The music was booming, almost causing the floor to shake but not quite. Nora sat Indian style on the floor, her eyes closed, her mouth softly humming the song that was playing. Nora, having danced since she was a babe, was one of those people who could close her eyes and imagine a whole dance routine. This is what she was doing now. She heard the gym door open and close, her eyes sprung open, only to see some girl hanging all over a guy. Nora frowned and closed her eyes once more. In the back of her mind she heard the door open and close once more, they were leaving. As the song ended, it repeated, and in Nora’s brain the dance began again.

[Devan Matthews]

Devan came inside the gym wanting some air conditioning. It was killer hot outside, especially for New York and playing soccer didn't help cooling him off. As he walked over to the water fountain he wasn't paying attention to what he was doing and stumbled on a girl. "Am so sorry..." He began as he made sure he didn't her hurt. "Am just so hot and thirsty I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

[Nora Thymes]

Nora looked up at the guy and glared. She wasn’t sure whether to be mad for her pushed her over, or simply forget about it for he said sorry. Nora sighed and clicked the pause button on the ipod player.

“Who are you?”

Nora leaned back and looked up at him. Nora turned her head as the gym door opened again, a girl’s head stuck in then back out again. Nora shook her head and looked back up at the guy.

[Devan Matthews]

"Names Devan Matthews." He said polietly as he crossed his arms. He looked at her for a second studying her features and such. "Oh sorry." He said snapping out of it. "I guess you can tell am sorta new huh?" He said with a smirk. "So what's your name?" He asked as he sat across from her.

[Nora Thymes]

Nora smiled softly to herself at his staring at her for a minute. What is it with males? Her smile grew when he asked her name.

"Nora, Nora Thymes. And yes it is quite obvious that you are new here, most people know ot to enter the gym completely when I am in it working."

Nora sat straight agian and reached for her ipod, turning it off.

"So where are you from?"

[Devan Matthews]

"The lovliest place in the wolrd, London England." He said teasingly as he re-adjusted himself on the floor. "I don't really have much of an accent but I can lie it on thick when I want to." He explained as he leaned back locking eyes with her. "So Nora where you from?"

[Nora Thymes]

"Many places."

Nora looks down at the floor, frowns slightly at a thought that crosses her mind. A light smile touches her face agian as she looks back at him.

"I was born and raised in Florenze, Italy though. We moved here about 2 years ago."

Nora's smile grew. And she turned on her ipod agian, but quietly this time. There was no use wasting time; her study hall was almost over.

"And I must disagree, Italy is the most beautiful place in the world."

[Devan Matthews]

Devan shook his head. "To each his own but London wins in my heart." He looked over to her Ipod trying to get a better feel for her, and what better way to know someone then through music.

"Though am part Italian from my mother's side. She's from Sicily and it's unbelievable there." He took her Ipod seeing what song was on. "Nice." He said placing the Ipod back where it was.

[Nora Thymes]

Nora laughed softly, so softly that she could barely hear it herself. Picking up the ipod she looked at the name of the song even though she knew what is said: Mozart's 9th Sympony.

"So you like Mozart?"

The song wasn't really Mozart, but her parents didn't approve of her being captin of the dance teams never mind her listening to "that sort of music". The song was really a song created by her friend, Maria, from Italy. But Nora wasn't about to tell him that.

[Devan Matthews]

"Yeah I love the soothing sound." He replied thinking it was weird how the song title and the sound didn't match up. "Though it sounds kinda funky for Mozart but hey it's nice."

[Nora Thymes]

Nora doubled over in laughter.

"It isn't Mozart, Mozart died long before there were any eletronical devices that could do this."

Nora paused realizing they weren't into the part of the song that sounded like anything then simple intruments.

"My friend Maria, majors in Music Dissection at the University of Florence. The beginning is simply her and her sister playing, then Maria did a little mixing."

Nora smiled.

"It is for the new dance routine for the Dance Team."

[Devan Matthews]

"Dancing to Mozart huh? I guess your confident enough not to have a sluty routine then, more power to you." He said with a mild smirk. "Your friend Maria sounds pretty cool I wish I coudl do stuff like that but am more of a sports guy."

[Nora Thymes]

"I can't do anything with music, except put a dance to it."

Nora closed her eyes for a monment.

"I haven't gotten any complaints about the dancing yet, and this is my second being captin, so I figure I am not doing so bad,"

Nora opened her eyes and looked up at the clock on the wall to see what time it was. 10 minutes til the bell rings. Sighing she looked back over at Devan, she subconsciencely tilted her head a little to the right as she looked at him.

[Devan Matthews]

Devan smirked tilting his head to the side wondering what she was thinking. She seemed so calm and somewhat in a daze. "Hello." He said waving his hand in her face. "Am I that boring?" He asked with a soft laugh. "Maybe if I ran around doing cartwheels I would be more intresting huh?"

[Nora Thymes]

“No you aren’t boring.”

Nora smiled softly. She looked up the clock once more, frowned, and sighed again.

“I have the team this dance later, and there are only 5 minutes now.”

Nora looked up into Devan’s eyes and couldn’t help but smile again.

“I guess I will just have to use my study hall later today too.”
