We're Meeting For the First Time (Romance!)Not Open!

[XxNeverForgetxX]

Willow watched Christine and Christopher. She tried to smile, but it came out looking really bad so she stopped. Her forced smiles usually came out looking as if she was really uncomfortable or about break down or something. Willow sighed and decided to just swim around a bit. She probably was doing kind of bad, but she needed to keep herself occupied and most of her body under water. She didn't want anyone to see the cuts or bruises. Willow hated it when people asked questions like, 'how did you get those?' or 'what happened?' or the one she hated the most, 'are you okay?' since they know she probably isn't.

Christopher jumped into the water, reaching out and grabbing Christine's hand too. They fell into the cool water with a huge splash and then bobbed back to the surface, Christopher putting his feet down though Christine couldn't reach. He grinned at his sister, who rolled her eyes and backed toward Willow. "Jerk," she said.
Christopher smiled and shrugged, knowing she didn't really mean it. "You were already wet," he sighed.
She scowled at him to hide a smile. "Yeah, but you didn't have to pull me in." She turned back to Willow to smile and role her eyes.

[XxNeverForgetxX]

Willow laughed a bit as she watched Christopher and Christine. They were so close to eachother and their happy mood was a bit contagious. She found herself smiling more often while she stood there watching them. Willow climbed out of the water and decided to sit on the cement while keeping feet in the pool. The sun had instantly warmed her. In no time she was staring at the sky daydreaming.

Christine pulled herself out of the water to sit beside Willow. "Wow," she said. "The sun feels great."

"True that," Christopher agreed. "I'm gonna swim some laps. Don't get in the way, I'm not great at watching where I'm going when my eyes are closed."

"You're not good at watching where you're going anyway," Christine said.

"Gee," he said sarcastically. "Thanks sis." He looked at Willow and jokingly said, "You see this? She's evil." But he smiled at Christine so she'd know he was just kidding. Then he dropped under the water and pushed off the wall, heading toward the far end of the pool with a few powerful strokes.

[XxNeverForgetxX]

Willow laughed at Christopher's little remark. She watched as he swam towards the other end of the pool. "You and your brother are really close," Willow said looking over to Christine. It made her think slightly about what they had been through to become this close.

[Shellpepper]

Christine nodded, watching Christopher turn again and go back and forth for her lack of anything else to look at- appart from Willow, whom she really didn't want to look at while talking about anything even remotely similar to emotions. "Yeah," she said. "He's my best friend." Tends to happen when you go through Hell with someone, I suppose, she thought, not speaking out loud.

Christopher hit the far wall again and flipped once more, shooting himself back toward the far wall another time.

[XxNeverForgetxX]

Willow nodded. "That's really cool," she said staring out at the water. The water made little ripples as Christopher swam. Willow laid down on the warm cement with her feet still dangling in the water.

[Shellpepper]

"What about you?" Christine asked, "Do you have sibblings?"

[XxNeverForgetxX]

Willow shook her head. "No." She had always wanted a little sibling, but her mother had died when she was born and she didn't want anything to do with her step-mother.

[Shellpepper]

Christine nodded. "I see I see," she said, nodding.
