In a earlier round.[open!]

Steph grabbed her stuff and climbed into her tiny car in the garage. As the door opened she checked herself out and then quickly backed out and closed the garage door again. She drove down the road and to the park nearby.
When Steph finally parked she practically jumped out of her car. She took in the view of the serene park. Even though it had been almost seven years she had been here, she remembered almost everything about it. Steph remembered when she and her sister would play tag with almost anyone willing to. She remembered the awful Steph herself had gone missing when really she was just hiding so she wouldn’t have to go home. Heck, She still remembered the police officer who had found her up in the tree. Stephanie sat on one of the swings and watched the younger group of kids play. Then Steph kicked off her own shoes and dropped her bag and pushed herself as far back as possible then let herself go. Steph loved the feeling of swinging. Being in a place with many loving memories almost comforted her. Steph stopped swinging and looked over to were the covered tables were. She looked in time to see a little boy blow out his huge number seven shaped candle surrounded by presents and seemingly happy family. The happy family almost wanted to make Stephanie want to cry, but she pulled herself together and put her shoes back on but remained on the swing. Stephanie’s silence was broken by the sharp tones of Miley Cyrus’s “Can’t be tamed” . Stephanie harshly picked up her Prada bag and grabbed her cell phone to answer the call. It was her best friend calling to tell her about some hot dude from school who wanted to add Steph on her social networking site. Stephanie couldn’t help but laugh at her friend’s excitement. She told her friend that she would check it later and after goodbyes she hung up. Stephanie sighed and stood up and grabbed her purse. She didn’t want to go home just yet.. Stephanie remembered the sneakers she had in her car and decided to trade those in for her clunky wedges. Stephanie saw the track and the softball fields just waiting to be used. She wondered if she should put on her track uniform in her school bag in her trunk and go running. The bad side of that was that it was so hot! For lack of judgment Stephanie decided to just go walking around the track instead. This time though she left her purse and phone in a “Safety trunk” in the trunk of her car and grabbed her Ipod. She walked over to the fields and hopped over the fence and got onto the rust colored track and began her walk around the Half mile track.

[/b] Ianto said. "Bad girl, Keltie," he scolded, and looked up at the girl.[/color][/size][/ul]

Stephanie hadn't been paying attention to anything but her music. She loved the beat and was totally adsorbed in her own thoughts. Stephanie had seen the boy release the dog from its leash but after that though Stephanie continued to walk to her favorite Britney Spears songs.

Stephanie didn't notice the big dog come up behind her until it was right there,Stephanie didn't have any bad history with dog's in fact she loved them, but a big dog bounding it's way toward was enough to make anyone scared. The dog came up to Stephanie and sniffed her, probably smelling the scent of her mom's chihuahua. Stephanie took out her headphone's and looked down at the dog and smiled. Not long after the dog came the owner, a kind of familiar face from school apologizing as he ran up. Stephanie just chuckled " It's no big deal, don't worry." The boy scolded the dog, Keltie. A quite exotic name for a dog, not that Stephanie could say much, the dog she had since she was a baby was named Polly Pocket. The poor dog was like a hundred years old by now. Stephanie squatted and pet the dog right behind the ears, right were her dog liked to be scratched. Not a to lady like thing to do in the least.

[/b] Ianto muttered, watching as the girl bent down to pet Keltie. The tan and white collie seemed to be pleased with such contact and looked positively excited at it all. It was almost like she never got petted. Ianto rose an eyebrow at the disloyalty of his own dog, but took the second to reach forward and take a hold of Keltie's collar, lightly turning it around so he could snap the lead back onto her. It was a fairly thick metal lead, and Ianto was just strong enough to contain Keltie when she made a wild dash. She often took him off guard though, luckily he always managed to gain control over her when he needed to.

"I know you from school, right?" Ianto asked, straightening up and giving Keltie a quick stroke across the head as he did so. He was sure he recognised the girl, and he positive it was from school. If she said her name, he'd probably find it a lot easier to place her in his mind. He was a lot better with names than he was with faces. He briefly wondered if they had any classes together, because something about her struck him as very familar. Despite how small Lipton was, Ianto would never exactly know everyone, so there had to be a specific reason he recognised her. Ianto paused his iPod now, holding it in his left hand as he gripped the lead tightly in the right, prepared in case Keltie made a run for it again. He hoped her mad half-an-hour had passed over and she'd take to walking briskly by his side as he walked through the park. No more running, Ianto hoped. Sure, he was in fairly good physical shape, but he was still a smoker. Not a fantastic combination.[/color][/size][/ul]

The boy had said something about the dog being bad, Stephanie chuckled and looked back down at the dog, she certainty looked lick she could cause some havoc.

Stephanie stood back up and wiped her hands on her shorts. She watched as the boy hooked t he leash to the dogs collar."Maybe, Your a senior right? That's what I am so if you are its pretty possible." Stephanie knew already the boy was a senior she was certain she had seen him in the hall walking with a friend of her friend or something like that. Stephanie put her Ipod in her pocket and Suddenly the Ipod in her pocket began blaring some song that happened to be on there. Right now it was death metal song her older brother probably had added on there before Steph had gotten it She reached down into her pocket and pause it without looking.

Steph then turned her attention back to the boy and stuck out her hand, And my name Is Stephanie, and your name is?

[ianto]

[/b] Ianto replied, nodding in response. So she was a senior - Ianto wasn't going mad or anything. She didn't run in the same social circle as Ianto - the jocks and such, but he recognised her all the same. So many people in Lipton, and he'd never know them all, but he was fairly good with recognition. He was slightly surprised by her formal introduction. Ianto wasn't really used to knowing anyone with that sort of courtesy. Then again, most of his friends greeted each other with something warm and familiar, he couldn't remember the last time he'd actually shook someone's hand. Still, a smile spread across his face and he reached out to shake Steph's hand.

"Cool, nice to meet you, Steph," he said, letting her hand drop from his with a small smile. "I'm Ianto," he explained. He glanced down at Keltie, who was beginning to whine at the monotony of sitting down in the same place for a long time. Ianto looked back up at Steph and glanced around the track. "Shall we keep walking? She'll get antsy if we stop for too long," Ianto suggested, seeing as the girl had been making her way around the track before she'd been stopped by Keltie.

"Ianto" A very exotic name, Spanish maybe? Stephanie liked the name, and she liked even more when he asked to continue walking. Stephanie had already walked half the track and hadn't realized she had till now, she'd been of in her own world again.
The dog wagged it's tail at the prospect of running again. It was getting late and its not like she had anything else to do and i t was a unusually beautiful day. .Stephanie began walking next to the dog, who was now panting.

Stephanie wanted to make small talk but she didn't exactly know how. "So does she do that a lot? the dog I mean."Stephanie liked to think that she was a easy person to talk to, but only because she was the very opposite if shy when it came to people her age.Stephanie love to meet new people with the prospect of having a new friend.Stephanie looked around at the scenery it was so pretty it was hard not to." Is it not just such a lovely afternoon?" Stephanie decided to come out here more often when it was like this.
