Thread: The Garrettsville Golden Boy Returns Home (BreakFromReality and Frogger)

As the sun starts to rise off in the distance, in turn casting a warm glow over the small town Lily Aviles gently closed the book she was reading, in order to rise from her worn-out seat by the window and get ready for the first day of school. As much as shed love to continue reading, she cant wait to see her new students, either. Many are going to be dreading the seven hours spent away from their friends, from whatever it is they prefer to occupy their time with, however there is going to be a rare few that walk in with a bright, hungry light in the eyes to learn. Lily cant wait to see what is to come of this new school year. During her own years of high school, Lily was known to be quiet, with her nose nearly always in the pages of a book. It may sound sad and pathetic to some, but it was the way she preferred things. It is well, it is nerve-wracking to endure the ridicule and scrutiny of those higher up on the social ladder. Unfortunately, that has not changed overly much over the years, even if she is an adult. Lily stepped into the shower, closing her eyes and tilting her head back as hot water beat down from above. Her fingers tangled into black before very long, to pull it up and off her neck. Many tendrils of steam lingering not just in the air, but along the floor, like the smoke of a cigarette, Lily leaned forward to run a hand over the foggy mirror... to study the reflection gazing back. A fond, but sad smile tugged at the corner of her lips. Lily is the splitting image of the mother she lost in a tragic accident right before graduation... that is, except for the eyes. It was her father's eyes she came to call her own almond-shaped with long, thick lashes, and a beautiful golden-amber... similar to that of molten gold, depending on the angle. In nothing but a towel, Lily opened her closet and found herself at a loss on what to wear. It is not as though she is the most fashionable person in existence. In fact, the color variation is always red, blue, purple and that is about it. Lily released a soft sigh before digging in the very back, Does she have anything-? No, apparently not. Oh well. It seems she has to make due with lets see Lily brushed a few threads of hair behind an ear, frowning. Maybe she should just go with red and black? The school colors? Yes, she might as well. It shows team spirit. Lily chose a pair of black jeans, the kind that just so happens to hug all the right places, and a nice red blouse that she has always liked to wear. It is a sort of confidence booster. It makes her feel sexy, though she knows its nothing more than a ridiculous delusion. Thirty minutes later, Lily walked through the door with a cup of coffee for Mrs. Jacobs and a cup of hot tea for herself. As early as it is to be gracing the hallways she is going to take this opportunity to go over her lesson plan, to relax, perhaps listen to music that way, she can greet everyone with a smile once they walk through the door. Lily passed by the U.S. government classroom only to nearby trip over her feet. Is that who she thinks it is? Well, Lily spoke up upon retreating back several steps, just to lean against the doorframe. A foot crossed over the other as she offered him a shy smile. Hello there, stranger. I never thought Id see you here again. How are you? Josh has not changed one bit. It is a little unsettling? Is that the right word for it? Lily bit the corner of her lip, the pink flesh darkening to red from the abuse. No, a better question is how should she act? How long has it been since they last spoke? Five years ago? Give or take? Lily fidgeted a little, obviously flustered at this sudden development. Youre teaching U.S. government now? she decided to go with, though not after taking a sip of her hot tea.
