The majority of August was sunny weather and today was no different. Snow was amazing but nothing could beat a warm summers day or at least in George’s eyes. Making friends at school was always fun but George loved spending his summer at home with his family. He was lucky to get along with them so well even his do no wrong brother. He got on with his brother like a house on fire but it was a little daunting when he was apparently better at everything than you. George got the looks though and had a decent head on his shoulders. Brains were probably more important that looks but that didn’t really bother George too much anymore. As far as he was concerned he had the better end of the deal.
With it being a nice day George decided to take a dip in the lake. He didn’t go swimming in the lake that often but with such nice weather he thought he’d take a chance. As long as the lake creatures didn’t try and munch his toes he was happy. Besides it would do him good for him to get out the castle and do something a little different than he usually did. Pulling on his teal swim shorts George pulled on a pair of jeans over them. Slipping a t-shirt over his well-built body George grabbed a towel before leaving his dorm. He expected quite a few people to be at the lake due to the nice weather but went he got down there it would probably be empty. Either way he wouldn’t mind but the company of an amiable person would be appreciated.
Stepping out into the entrance hall George was momentarily blinded by the ray of sunshine that hit his eyes as he turned the corner. He felt a bit silly carrying a towel around but once he reached the lake he wouldn’t need it anymore until he wanted to dry off. It was always a hassle getting dried after a swim but it had to be done. The sun was hot so he could always sunbath for a bit and dry off that way.
Scuffing his feet on the gravel path as he walked George reached the lake expecting to see a swarm of people taking the advantage of the weather. Apparently he was wrong, as he was the only person in sight. It was a shame that nobody else was around but George was determined to enjoy his day. Slipping off his shoes and jeans George rapidly took his t-shirt off and left his clothes and towel in a pile on the side of the lake. Approaching the lake George dived in a little stunned by the slightly cold water but he soon got used to it. Treading water for a moment George looked around at the area again.

Moki threw her purple book bag down on her bed as she returned to her dorm room. She had finished the assignment she had been working on, and her brain hurt. She contemplated what she should do. A nap sounded inviting, but she didn't want to seem like a lazy bum. I mean, it was the middle of the afternoon. Who randomly napped in the middle of the day? She'd had plenty of sleep, so she wasn't even tired. She was really just tired of work. Yeah, that was it.
It was a gorgeous day. She'd been spending a lot of time outside lately, but who could really blame her? The nice weather wasn't going to stick around forever. Might as well take advantage of it. She put a hand to her face unconsciously, realizing she was quite warm. A swim would be amazing right now. She thought about her friends, wondering if any of them would be free, but after all, it was the middle of the school day, and they were probably doing work. Oh well. She would go by herself. There were probably loads of people down there already, anyway... on a day like this? Of course there would be.
She quickly threw on a bathing suit - her favorite one, it was a dark purple bikini with gold flowers - and dressed herself over it. She wasn't about to go walking through the whole castle wearing nothing but a bathing suit. Weeeiiird. Grabbing a towel, she left the dungeons and headed for the lake. It wasn't exactly a long journey (considering the Slytherin common room was directly underneath her destination), but as she approached the water, she was struck by the fact that the area was nearly deserted. Only a guy in teal swimming trunks was in sight. Moki shrugged. She wasn't exactly shy.
"Hey!" she waved at him from the shore. "Mind if I join you?"
(OOC: Sorry, it's kind of lame. I just never met your char, so I figured I should. And swimming is fun.)

George who was still treading water even if the water was shallow enough for him to touch the bottom with his feet was a little unsure of what to do with himself. Sure the obvious thing to do was to go swimming around the lake but George didn’t want to get too bored too quickly. The day would certainly be more entertaining with more people around but for now he would have to make to with himself as company. George certainly wasn’t shy and enjoyed the company of others as he easily got bored when by himself. Hopefully swimming around would keep him occupied for at least a few hours.
Ducking under the water George’s once spiky hair laid smooth against his forehead. George was quite a good swimmer having been made to take swimming lessons as a young boy by his mother. He had moaned about it but now that he was older George was actually quite thankful that she had forced him. Not knowing how to swim would be quite useless especially in the summer when he wanted to cool off. The lake had shallow parts but it wasn’t always fun to stand around there. He wanted to get out into the lake and enjoy it. Moving from his spot George began swimming trying to get from one side of the lake to the other. It would probably take a good few minutes but it was worth it. He needed a way to keep that body of his in shape and something to keep him amused all at the same time.
He didn’t want to trundle on back to his dorm just yet. After a little while of swimming George decided not to bother with the whole width as he could do some more later. Laying his face in the water George swam back to the area where he had once been treading water. Letting his feet touch ground George stood up straight and raised his hands out of the water and rubbed them over his face to get rid of the sensation of the lake water in his eyes. Hearing a voice George removed his hands to see a girl that looked about his age ”Hey” He grinned and waved as the girl greeted him ”Sure id honestly be quite thankful of the company” Waiting around had paid off after all.
[Nahhh its not lame thanks for replying]

Moki smiled back at him in response and set to throwing her towel down on the shore. She quickly took off her outer clothes and threw them rather carelessly down with the towel on the beach. Realizing that probably looked kind of questionable, should anyone of interest come along not knowing the circumstances, she arranged them in a somewhat more acceptable pile and walked over to the water's edge. She stuck her foot in the lake... it was really a nice temperature. That was good. She hated those warm and sunny days where for no good reason the lake decided to be randomly chilly. It probably had a spirit of its own or something and liked to piss people off when it was in a bad mood. That was mostly a joke, except she vaguely remembered hearing animistic stories from her childhood about such things, and then there was that one movie she'd seen a couple years back with the dragon who was really the spirit of a river... she realized abruptly that her train of thought had really derailed within the span of about three seconds. Anyway. The water was nice. She immersed herself up to the waist. For some reason, she always had issues getting all the way in in a hurry. It just felt so damn cold after a certain point!
"So, what's up?" she asked casually. Realizing that she was asking this question a bit prematurely, she added practically, "I don't think we've met. I'm Moki. I'm in Slytherin. What about you?" She waded a bit deeper. After the initial cold of getting in, the water was proving to be as she had expected. Moki decided she'd been a pansy long enough and dunked her head underwater, her dark hair clinging to her face as she broke the surface again. She considered the face that she probably somewhat resembled a drowned cat. It may not have been the most flattering first impression, but at least it involved doing something fun. She didn't care too much if she looked weird. She grinned at the thought. Moki-turned-wet-feline was kind of an amusing concept. If she ever decided to become an Animagus, she would have to see if "drowned cat" was an option.

After ducking under the water George was now a lot more accustom to the temperature. It had been a little chilly at first but after being submerged his body got used to it. The sun was a little bright and George was beginning to wish he had worn sunglasses. Trouble was he could swim if he was wearing sunglasses. He wanted to swim so if it meant holding a hand above his eyes like a visor then that was what he was going to have to do. The sunlight made Georges freckles on his nose and some of his cheeks even more prominent. George didn’t mind his freckles but he always cringed when he remembered his mum telling him how cute they were. His mum was always embarrassing him some of the time on purpose but most of the time it was an accident. Lifting his legs from the lake bottom George began treading water again while he waited for the girl to get in. George’s pile of clothes were surprisingly neat but not as neat as the girls. It didn’t really matter but hopefully people assumed that they weren’t just a random pile of clothes and left them where they were.
Soon the girl had jumped in and joined George in the water. ”Not a lot really just fancied a swim to cool down a little considering the weather is so nice, how about you?” The summers in England weren’t always that promising so any nice day throughout the year was a bit of a blessing. Mother nature was very good at giving Britain rain when the weather was supposed to be warm and sunny. ”No I’m not too sure we have either. Nice to meet you Moki I’m George, a Ravenclaw” George smiled politely as he introduced himself. George’s once wet hair was no longer sticking to his head the slight breeze had began to dry it. That was certainly one of the advantages of having shorter hair. Moki’s seemed to be sticking to her face just like his had but it was probably even worse with longer hair.

"Not a lot really just fancied a swim to cool down a little considering the weather is so nice, how about you?”
"'Bout the same," she said. "I guess I've got classes-have-started blues. Plus, the weather's awesome today. It's rarely so nice this time of year, don't you think? I dunno, this end of summer thing isn't my favorite. Spring is nice." Moki realized George probably didn't have a reason to care. She gave him an apologetic look.
"Nice to meet you, George!" she said, smiling widely from underneath her drenched brown hair. She realized it looked black when it was wet and momentarily wondered why she bothered to dye it. Oh well. She would undoubtedly continue to, despite this. "So, Ravenclaw," she mused. "Are you like, crazy smart, then?" He probably was, but then again, she'd met some Ravenclaws that defied explanation. She could only fathom that they must have had hidden talents, like being able to name all the prime numbers up to a trillion or something.

George nodded ”Il totally agree with you on that one being back to class is a bit rubbish” Many people would expect Ravenclaw’s to be all for class but George was quite the opposite. He was sure as the term went on it would become a little more appealing but right now he’d much rather go back to summer break. Unfortunately there was no way that would happen and George would just have to carry on with the way things were going. ”It is a nice time of year its certainly better than having constant rain” Rain didn’t really bother George it was nice every so often just not all of the time.
”Its also nice to meet…” George paused realizing he’d already said that to Moki already ”I mean, thank you” George was awful for repeating things he had already said. He expected it would be quite confusing for a person to be told something twice. ”Yep a Ravenclaw and heck no” George laughed. ”I’m not crazy smart but apparently theres a little somethin' somethin' there” George knew his stuff on certain things but then didn’t everyone?. ”Slytherin Aye?” He asked ”Bit of a meany are you?” George very much doubted this as Moki seemed like a nice girl but you never know, not everyone fitted into their house stereotype.

"Oh, yeah, it's definitely better than constant rain. Although, I like rain a lot actually. Just not all the time. All the time is lame. And depressing. You know what, though, swimming in the rain is surprisingly awesome. Like, people always talk about how you can swim when the weather is bad. But why the hell not? You're gonna get wet anyway, right?" Wow, that was a rant.
Moki laughed as George started to repeat himself. "Well, you're welcome, I guess." What did that even mean? She had never understood that expression. Maybe she would just stop using it. Nobody would even care, probably.
"Yep a Ravenclaw and heck no” George laughed. ”I’m not crazy smart but apparently theres a little somethin' somethin' there.”
"Yeah, I hear you," she said. ”Slytherin Aye?” He asked ”Bit of a meany are you?”
"Hey, hey!" she said with a grin, putting her hands up. "Stereotype much?" She was joking, of course - she'd had enough experience with House prejudices that she'd learned you could either handle it with a smile or be insulted and get angry. The second one was so not her style. She was much more of the laugh it off type. "I guess I'll let you decide that for yourself," she told him. "Nah, I don't fit the bill in my own opinion. I think I'm in Slytherin 'cause I get in trouble so much. I'm not much of a rule-follower." Moki smiled impishly. "Ha, most of my friends are from other Houses. But I know enough people who don't associate with anyone outside of Slytherin, too. Kind of silly, really, isn't it? Hey, I rhymed!"

Rain was great and was often fun to play in. It just sucked when the weather was cold too as spending a day dripping wet in the cold wasn’t too great. ”Ive swam in the rain a couple of times and its great fun and its very true that your going to get wet anyway” In the summer people sprayed each other with water so why couldn’t rain be like a spraying?.
”Haha thanks” Your welcome was quite a strange phrase but apparently welcome meant accepting so perhaps a person was excepting someone’s thanks. Ahh George was confusing himself even thinking about it. The only person that probably knew the true explanation was the person that came up with the phrase. But then again who the heck was that? They were probably dead by now. The English language was full of strange words and phrases, and somewhat backwards.
”Oh…” George chuckled raising his hands in defeat ”I didn’t mean it like that, its just you asked if I was smart so I asked if you were mean” George didn’t think that Moki was mean but he had only just met her a few minutes ago so he had yet to find that out. ”I think we are both to blame for this little prejudice thing” He grinned cheekily ”But il take the blame even if there is no blame to take” Confusinggg. Picking up his feet from the lake bottom George immersed himself a little more so that it was only his head and a the tops of his shoulders floating above the water. ”You seem nice to me and yeah not being a rule follower is probably what did it” Hey, Rules were there to be broken. Technically not but there was no way that everyone was going to keep to all the rules it just isn’t possible.
George nodded ”Me too its nice that people make friends with people in different houses or at least I think it is” There were some great people in Ravenclaw but George had also made some good friends of people from other houses. ”I don’t see why most Slytherin’s are like that. We all have house pride they just seem to take it one step further” George had nothing against Slytherin’s he just didn’t understand their motives.

”I didn’t mean it like that, its just you asked if I was smart so I asked if you were mean”
She smiled genuinely at his comment. "Alright, alright. I gotcha. I was mostly kidding around. No hard feelings!"
"You seem nice to me and yeah not being a rule follower is probably what did it."
She nodded forlornly. "Yeah... gets me a little more trouble than I really need sometimes." Moki wasn't referring to the rule-breaking. She was feeling more and more lately that she didn't fit in with the other Slytherins. Students from other Houses were utterly surprised when she wanted to hang with them. Slytherins turned their noses up at her friends, and half the time her as well. She wondered sometimes why she'd been put there at all. Sure, she was as much of a ne'er-do-well as anyone, but she loved everyone the same unless they gave her a reason to not like them. A legit one. Not a lame reason, like flirting with her non-existent boyfriend or something.
George seemed to be thinking along the same lines she was. ”Me too its nice that people make friends with people in different houses or at least I think it is. I don’t see why most Slytherin’s are like that. We all have house pride they just seem to take it one step further” Moki shrugged solemly. "I don't know, honestly," she said, her voice serious. She couldn't stop herself from adding, although she felt she shouldn't, "Well, most of them don't think much of me for it, either." She felt like she should change the subject or something, but didn't know what to say. The truth was, she felt like she was committing some weird crime of treason by saying stuff like that.

”I didn’t mean to sound so … fretful about it I didn’t mean it that way at all but im glad there are no hard feelings” He laughed. Tone of voice and the way you said things were important when speaking as they could change the meaning of something. Although he tried not to admit it George was very good at making a fool of himself. Much of the time he tried to be charming and kind but it ended up with him attempting to talk his way out of something. Perhaps he was too much of a try hard he certainly wouldn’t doubt that. Although he was quite self-assured there was always a part of him that wanted to be liked and if it meant making a fool of himself then well be it.
”I can imagine” George had never really gotten himself in to trouble if he did it was bound to because of his mouth. He was awfully good at saying things for thinking it had made a few slight enemies over the years. Most were friends who refused to speak to him for a little while but then soon forgot all about it. George didn’t feel that he fitted in with the people in his house either but then again he didn’t feel that any of the other houses would suit him better. The sorting hat was the one that put you there and clearly it had its reasons.
After saying it George realised that he had gone into a jam-packed bitching session about house pride. He was quite opinionated on certain situations and obviously this was one of them. It was no wonder that his mouth managed to get him into so much trouble. ”Sorry for bagging on your house sometimes my mouth gets a little carried away with consulting my brain” Oh how idiotic that sounded. ”Its a shame that they treat you in such a way, you deserve better” Raising a hand George brushed it over his dripping wet hair.

”Sorry for bagging on your house sometimes my mouth gets a little carried away with consulting my brain. Its a shame that they treat you in such a way, you deserve better”
Moki waved a hand thoughtlessly. "Don't worry about it. I get it a lot!" She wrinkled her nose. "Y'know... Slytherin..." With a smile she added, "And it's not bad, they're not mean to me. I just kind of, hmm... stand out!" She put her arms out at her sides in a prominent manner, beaming. "Now, what about you? You fit in? You gotta, I mean, a guy like you's gotta have groupies, and probably a real hot girlfriend, right?" Moki teased.
She looked around the lake. There was still nobody in sight. Oddly enough, she did not see the giant squid anywhere. That was curious. That thing was pretty much in plain sight most of the time. A little unnerving, perhaps, not knowing where it was when you were swimming in its lake... but she doubted the thing would really damage her. Looking back at George, she questioned, hoping she didn't sound too much like an interrogator, "Who do you hang around? I know a bunch of people, maybe we have some friends in common?"
OOC: Yo, sorry, mad uncreative I know, I've had like no muse for the last two days! My deepest apologies, I will try to write better......... *bangs head against wall*

George smiled as Moki shook off what George had said ”That’s a good attitude to have considering the amount of house discrimination these days” It had loosened up a little compared to when the kids parents were at school but sadly there was still quite a bit of it about. It was just something you had to live through even if it didn’t really affect your day. ”Standing out is good, as long as its not is some freakish kind of way” George laughed. Moki seemed far from a freak but hopefully she understood what he meant he’d never been too good at explaining stuff hence the reason his mouth got him into trouble.
”I can’t say I really fit in, unfortunately” Probably because George hadn’t really got to know many people despite being at the school for five terms. Although company would have been nice he didn’t really mind spending time by himself. He told himself that but maybe it wasn’t one hundred percent true. George was sure or at least he hoped that he’d make some decent friends soon enough at least if he had something to do with it he would. Spending time alone was lonely business and something that he hoped would soon change. Smirking George laughed ”Oh id love to get me a real hot girlfriend or some groupies but regrettably its just single ol’ me” Having some groupies would be quite an interesting experience and one that he wouldn’t say no to either as long as they were hot, typical guy. It also helped if they weren’t crazy women with an unhealthy obsession.
Groupies sounded great but a real hot girlfriend sounded like a great idea too and something he hoped would happen some when in his future. ”How about you? I’m sure you’ve got quite a few guys running after you” There was a chance he was wrong but he was pretty sure that there was some truth in his word. At times George forgot that he was in the water and often got submerged a little more than his liking. Luckily he had managed to avoid getting a mouthful of the, to some extent murky water that was a little clearer due to the summer.
It was great to have Moki to talk to even if he did get a little distracted and forgot to keep his head above water. ”I can’t say I really hang around with many people to be honest many of my old friends have left the school for reasons unbeknown to me” They’d left without telling George and he had no contact with them what so ever. It was a shame but he was starting to move on with his life and make some new friends. ”I have met Maeve and Mike briefly and of course you” George nodded his head ”I am sure you know them or at least know of them” George knew that Moki was in a class or two with them so she would probably know them.

”That’s a good attitude to have considering the amount of house discrimination these days. ”Standing out is good, as long as its not is some freakish kind of way”
"I dunno, I seriously think it's fading. I've heard stories around the castle about things you wouldn't believe. Rumor has it there's some Slytherin around here having a fling with a Gryffindor. I haven't figured out who it is, but believe me, when I do...." Moki loved gossip. She couldn't wait until she knew who it was. She wanted to talk to them so bad. There weren't very many Slytherins like that around Hogwarts - she would have killed to meet somebody like that. She made a doubtful face at his next comment, playfulness sparkling in her eyes. "I have two webbed toes," she offered helpfully. "Does that count?" He probably didn't need to know that, but since he already did, she pushed one of her feet toward the water's surface. There they were, the weirdly half-conjoined buggers. She supposed it was unique. But weird. Definitely weird.
”I can’t say I really fit in, unfortunately. ”Oh id love to get me a real hot girlfriend or some groupies but regrettably its just single ol’ me”
"Aw! I can't imagine why, you're so nice. But I guess I understand, sometimes you just don't click with people. As for the girlfriend, I can only assume you have high standards, 'cause there's plenty of girls around here that'd throw themselves at your feet just so they could say they have a boyfriend. The worthwhile ones aren't like that though. Okay, that's just my opinion. I just don't have a lot of respect for those needy girls." She shrugged. "I'm sure you'll find a great girl, though. Must be blind or stupid if you don't." Moki realized that was kind of an embarrassing thing to say. Hopefully George wouldn't mind. He was a nice guy, and really hot. She was honestly surprised he didn't have a girlfriend. She wondered if he was the shy kind of guy. Not shy like he couldn't talk to people... more like reserved. Yeah, that was the word. He seemed so nice, but like there was so much under the surface. Maybe he just didn't open up to the world. It was all speculation, of course, but they were questions to figure out, anyway.
”How about you? I’m sure you’ve got quite a few guys running after you”
Moki giggled as George accidentally submerged under the water. "Mmm... couple flirts, I guess, but nothing serious. I think most of the guys I know are just in it for the thrill of the chase. I don't think they're really into getting to know a girl. But, there's always exceptions, y'know? Some of them find that girl that changes everything. I'm just enjoying myself until I meet somebody special. Well, if I do, I mean. You never know! I could be a cat lady! I do like tabbies..." Hopefully he'd find that amusing. She honestly had no intention of ever being a cat lady. But the prospect was funny.
"I can’t say I really hang around with many people to be honest many of my old friends have left the school for reasons unbeknown to me. I have met Maeve and Mike briefly and of course you. I am sure you know them or at least know of them”
"That's too bad. So, you're kind of a loner, huh? I'm not exactly a loner, per se... I'm more like a... floater. I kind of drift around from group to group. Lots of different people but no real posse. I do know Maeve and Mike. Well, I actually haven't talked much to Mike - he's got a lot going on, seems like, but Maeve's one of my good friends. So what do you do for fun around here, then? Do you just hang by yourself, or do you spend time with other people...?" She floated on her back, catching the sun's rays on her bare skin. It was times like this she was thankful she didn't burn. She was far too careless to bother with sunscreen. Hooray for olive skin tones. Damn, the weather was great. Far too soon, it would get too chilly to do this.

”It seems that im a little behind on times which isn’t surprising to me” George chuckled. He was often the last to find out things but hopefully things would change. Finding out gossip was always interesting and George wouldn’t say no to hearing some. ”A Gryffindor and Slytherin? Things are certainly starting to look up” Of course this was just a rumour but it was more than likely true. The more George thought about it the more he realised that there wasn’t really that much house discrimination these days. Just a couple of Slytherin’s that were stuck in their old ways. It wasn’t really nice but it wouldn’t be Hogwarts without those kinds of students, it would seem extremely strange. George swam around a little as he had been stood in the same spot all the time. He didn’t stray too far away so that he could still talk to Moki. ”I guess webbed toes could count as they do help to make you unique. George and Moki were making the rules so he was willing to accept it.
Having a girlfriend would have been nice but George was quite happily single at the moment. If it was a matter of life or death then maybe but he was quite safe whether he was single or not. ”Thanks” George grinned as Moki complimented him ”I guess I just haven’t met any of those girls that want to throw themselves at me perhaps il meet some sooner or later” George had saw quite a few people around the school that seemed to be very popular with the opposite sex. They however seemed quite popular in general so perhaps it was something to do with popularity these days? George very much doubted it but you never know. ”I don’t think I have high standards but that’s my opinion so it doesn’t mean im right” George was quite accepting of most traits in girls but maybe he did have high standards? He had a small list in his mind of traits that he would perhaps like a girl to have but that didn’t mean that he had high standards, did it? He was probably a lot more relaxed than some of the other guys and possibly girls around the school or at least that was what he hoped.
George nodded ”Yeah, when someone is too needy it can be off putting” A little needy could be cute but when they were over needy it was just a little too far and slightly unattractive. ”Thanks. Ive got quite a few years yet to find a great girl but im sure that she will be worth the wait” It sounded kind of cheesy but George meant what he said. He was unquestionably willing to wait for that girl of his dreams till she came along. It was unlikely that he would actually meet the girl of his dreams but the boy could hope…
Reserved probably was an excellent way to describe him. George certainly wasn’t shy but he was quite respectful and reserved. He was quite happy to flirt away but he wouldn’t throw himself at just anybody he certainly wasn’t easy. ”Being a guy I do have to agree with you there, I know quite a few of that are indeed into the thrill of the chase” George wasn’t one of them but guys talk and some you could just tell were that type. It meant having to make assumptions but most of the time the assumptions were correct. George had been told he was a bit girly and woosy for his pleasant approach to girls but then again that was by those guys who enjoyed the chase and would pretty much sleep with anything with a pulse. George sure knew how to pick his friends. Maybe it was a good thing that they decided to disappear from the school. ”I’m sure you wont end up a cat lady” George laughed
”I’m sure you will find that someone special if not then there is probably some crazy and blind guys out there that have over looked you” George honestly didn’t see how anyone could overlook Moki but guys were guys and anything was possible. There certainly were exceptions to the rule and hopefully Moki would find one of those guys as she deserved to be happy. George found it incredible how he’d only just met Moki and they were talking like old friends. Not that he was complaining but it was cool how there were no shy introductions they just got into the conversation. George could already tell that she would be one of his good friends for a very long time even if the feeling wasn’t nessarily mutual.
George’s face lit up as he laughed at Moki’s comment ”I like to think as myself as independent but loner does cover it pretty well” Even George found it strange that he was a bit of a loner it wasn’t like he was weird, scary, annoying or mean. He thought of himself as quite a nice and friendly person that would be easy to get along with maybe others didn’t think so. ”Floating around sounds like quite a good idea that way you get to spend time with all your friends” George would sometimes do that with his family when the extended lot of them got together as the Knox family was quite large. ”I haven’t spoke to Mike much either ive spoke to Maeve a little more but we are in classes together so we see each other then” George had a feeling that she was in all of his classes but he couldn’t say he’d paid much attention. ”A bit of both really just whatever comes along though spending time with other people would be my proffered choice” Unfortunately for George though it didn’t always work out that way and spending time alone is what had to happen.
