Thread: It's only natural [sailingsam and Sigr]

Cats own parents were very strict. She had grown up in a household full of rules and regulations, as well as a strict religious upbringing. Well, at least the fact that her parents had dragged her to church every weekend of her life for as long as she could remember. She blushed harder as Leaf laughed at her response and her embarrassment and quickness to try and correct herself as she shifted nervously in her seat. Honestly, Id love to come and visit sometime. She grinned softly as stared forward at Leafs dark green eyes as she blinked softly and then looked away. They seemed to be threatening to pull her in, but that seemed silly. She shook her head and coughed as she took another sip of her water as she listened to the dark haired girl giggled. It was a shy laugh, one that carried her youth and her innocence as she watched Leaf stare at her. The new girl probably thought she sounded like a prude or crazy person with the quickness that she had gone to try and correct herself. She chose not to think too much on it as she listened back into Leafs conversation. Cat had seen how easy it could have been to pass several resolutions the year before for a new snack machine, and a longer lunch period, and thankfully the school board and school had complied with each of the requests. Frankly she was surprised nothing had happened yet with horrible selection of vegetarian options, but there was still time, and maybe Cats newest friend would lead the charge on it. Well certainly have to really see then. She shrugged and flashed another smile and soft blush at Leafs last comment. I mean, you dont have to you make it sound like your mom would prefer you to bring the non-mass produced food. She nodded to Leaf as she glanced up at the clock. They had just a little bit longer to talk before they had to head off to their next classes for the afternoon. Im sure youd be quite the badass if you decided to make that petition. She smiled and blushed at herself as she used the same word again, not correcting herself the second time as she nodded and hoped that she and Leaf had some outdoor hobbies in common. The innuendo flew completely over Cats head as she listened to Leaf respond as she continued to hold the dark haired girls hand as she looked forward. Leaf had likely not recognized the innuendo, and didnt at all make the connection that she had really already seen Leaf back on the beach that day as she nodded. I know lots of trails around my house and just outside of the city. My family and I will go on hikes or even camping sometimes, so Ive got a pretty good handle on whats out there. She smiled softly. Cat had had a feeling in what she had finished with was a natural lead up to an invitation to the beach as her face flushed as she slowly nodded. Id love to show you one of my favorite trails this weekend its got a great view of the city. She said excitedly, obviously excited about the idea of showing someone else her favorite spots to go and get away from the world. Keeping her face calm and collected, she blushed softly. Ahh that sounds like a wonderful idea! She said, not thinking too much currently about what kind of lifestyle that Leaf and her parents lived at home. You dont have to ask me twice to go swimming in the ocean. I love a good day on the beach and the water and weve not got much warm weather left either. She reminded Leaf as she stood up. We should get going She grabbed her tray. Ive got to get to Chemistry. She rolled her eyes at the thought of going over chemical equations and compounds. But well see each other at study hall last period. She smiled. And. Uhhh. I heard you needed to get some gym outfits for tomorrow. So, maybe we could umm Hang out or something and go get you some? She blushed softly at the offer, her feet planting like hard stones at how embarrassed she was by the way she had just asked the girl as she thew her trash away and put her tray up to stare at Leaf and the younger girls dark green eyes.
