Becomeing Friends ( Shopia )

[lance]

John pulled into a parking spot on the side of the road he was in the town square to meet his new friend Sophia to hang out. John was new to town and didn't know many people so he figured meeting Shopia to hang out would be nice it would give him someone else to talk to besides just Matt and his friend Savannah. John pulled his ipod out of the doc, and put the ear phones in his ears and started to talk down the side walk. It was a nice day outside so john figured he would park further away from where he was going to he could get a little walk in, and looking at all the people was fun too.

John was looking at all the shops, John was meeting Shopia the little bakery in the town square so at least they would actually know where each other would be, and they wouldn't be walking around lost. John really didn't like living here but he figured making friends would make it a little easier. John walked up to the bakery a little earlier then he had planned and ordered two hot chocolates figuring the Shopia might want one. John found a table for two and sat down putting his earphones back into his ears and drinking his cup of hot chocolate.

John leaned back into his chair, and pulled out his ipod and started to play a game on it thinking to him self that shopia should be her any minute. He pulled his ear phones out and put his ipod in his hoodie pocket, and leaned back again letting out a sigh this was the first person he was going to meet since he moved to this little town.

Sophia walked out of her messy apartment, heading to the town square. Even though it would take a few minutes to get there, she didn’t mind, she walked everywhere she went. It was hot, but there was a breeze, so it made it bearable. So walked hugging herself, like she usually did, and she noticed the green and blue paint smeared on her hands “Oh jeez.....” she muttered, rubbing the paint to get it off. She gave up and left the marks on her hands, and she wondered if she had any on her face, she thought about and shrugged, she almost always walked around with colors smeared on her face, hands, and clothes. Not that it was to noticeable.

She looked around at the people at the town square, smiling and waving at the people she knew. So had lived there her whole life, and since Lipton was a small town, it was easy to get to know most everyone. She had mat a whole lot of new people lately, and could only guess what they were there for. Lipton was a town of lies and secrets, but Sophia knew how to blend in and keep hers, and the ones she knew, from being exposed. As so got closer to the bakery, she smoothed her shirt, and made sure that her shirt sleeves were still rolled up, high enough to cover her bruise marks. So didn’t care much about other people seeing bruises, like if she had run into a coffee table or something, but the shape of the bruises on her arms hid a secret, a secret she was keeping for both her and her boyfriend.

Sophia smiled as she spotted John, even though he was sitting she could tell how big he was. They had talked online before, but never in person. He made Sos average sized height look tiny. She leaned against the table “This seat taken?” she said and giggled, pleased to be meeting him for the first time in person, she so much preferred to talk to someone face to face. At least now her brothers wouldn’t harass them, they meant well though.

John sat there think of what it would be like to talk to Shopia. She would be the first girl he had talked to in person since he had broke it off with his girlfriend. John turned to look at Shopia as she asked him if the seat was taken he laughed a little and said "It is now that your Here." John smiled at her and motioned for her to sit down across from him. He pushed the hot chocolate across the table to Shopia then looked back down at his. It was a little awkward to be sitting across from someone he hardly knew, but it was the only way he was going to be able to make friends in this town. John looked back up to Shopia and said " Thanks for meeting me here I didn't think you would really want to come since you don't know me.''

John placed his hands on the table and started to tap his fingers a little it was nice having someone to talk to, and know that he didn't have to worry about Shopia's brothers to deal with it was better. John didn't know what else to say so he stuck his hand out for Shopia to shake and gave her his full name " My Names John Evan Craft, and before you say it i know my middle name sounds like a first name.'' John gave the girl a playful wink and waited for her to shake his hand. John looked at Shopia a little more she was a very pretty girl she looked like someone John would try to date but she had a boyfriend and he had told her brothers they where just friends, and John didn't want to push Shopia away by trying something.
