Wearing black capri-length leggings, a jean skirt, and a purple and black striped shirt, Stacey slowly walked to the park. Her shoulder bag hit her leg with every other step. She smiled listening to the soft tap of her black converse on the concrete.
She saw a picnic table near the path not too far from her. Slowly she made her way to it. She normally walked slowly, she liked to look around, take everything in, enjoy the scenery. When she finally got to the picnic table, she slung her bag on the table, and pulled out her sketch book and pencil. She smiled and looked around at the trees, and grass. It was beautiful. At least in her opinion. She sighed and flipped through her book, past an assortment of drawings, self portraits, landscapes, sunsets, buildings, people, random objects, and many other drawings. When she finally found an open page she started to sketch the trees, and bushes around her.

Derek walked through the park, as he did everyday after school,as he headed to his dorm.To be honest he liked walking thought the park,as long as it wasn't raining.Derek was looking around has he walked.Normally he'd just look at his feet while he walked.Reason being he was thinking mostly.But today was different he wasn't thinking well that much anyways.
As Derek continued walking looking around passing the people walking their dogs the business men on their phones calling their wives to say they had an urgent meeting today and that they were late or visa versa.He also noticed at girl sitting at a table drawing or possibly writing he couldn't tell.She looked his age maybe even older he wasn't sure.Derek wasn't going to do anything when he gets back to his dorm anyways.So why not make a new friend eh?
He has his backpack slung over his shoulder,as he walked over to the girl.Now he could see that she was drawing,and it was beautiful. "Wow,thats really good."He said with a small smile on his face.Looking down at the drawing and then back up at her.

Stacey heard a voice from behind her complimenting her drawing. She smiled as she turned around, "Thanks," she said smiling. "Not one of my best works, but it passes the time. It always seems to clear my head."

Derek smiled, "Your welcome."He sat down on the other side of the picnic table facing her.Derek couldn't draw to save his life,and he always wondered how people could just do that. "If i tried to do that,I would just end up getting frustrated."He said with a small laugh. "I'm,Derek by the way."He told her,introducing himself.

Stacey laughed, "Thats kinda how it is for me sometimes, if I'm in a bad mood. My trick....erasers!" she said with a chuckle. She held out her pencil eraser end towards him, though there wasn't much of an eraser on there. "I'm Stacey." she said with a smile. "Nice to meet you Derek.

Derek laughed. "Ahhh yes,erasers! What wonderful things."He said,smiling.Derek wasn't really the type of person to draw,sketch whatever.Only when he had too or needed too. "Nice to meet you to Stacy."He replied back to her."I take it that you must draw a lot."He inferred that because her drawing was really impressive,to him.

Stacey shrugged, "I guess you could say that." she said setting her pencil down. She handed him the book. So he could look through the pictures of landscapes, portraits, sunsets, buildings, people, self-portraits, random objects, and other drawings. "Mainly I draw to clear my mind, or when I'm really bored, or when I see something inspiring." she said. She paused and laughed. "Man that last part sounded pretty lame, eh?"

Derek looked through the different drawings she had done,of landscapes,portraits,sunsets,buildings,and other things she had drawn.He was really impressed by how well she could draw.It was amazing really.Derek listened to what she said,he laughed alittle. "No,its not lame."He paused. "Okay maybe a little..."He said trailing off with a smirk on his face,joking with her.And you could tell he was.

Stacey smiled and laughed, "That's me. Quirky and lame!" she said with a laugh. "If you want, sometime I'll draw you." she suggested. She didn't know whether this was too bold a statement or not, but she was about to find out.

Derek laughed,how she said she was quirky and lame.To be honest he didn't think she was at all.He was a bit surprised to hear her suggest to draw him,like in a portrait,I guess.Derek nodded. "Yeah sure,that would be cool."He said with a smile.

Stacey smiled, "Cool." she said. "Sorry about that... That was kind of random. Its just I like to draw people, I'm not that good, and its kinda fun. Plus when you draw someone, you get to know 'em." she said. "I'm going to stop rambling now, your probably really bored of it. So tell me about yourself, what do you like to do?" she asked, hoping she didn't make too much of a fool of herself. She had a tendency to do that.

Derek smiled, "Its alright,you weren't rambling on."He told her. He thought for a moment about what he liked to do,there were lots of things he liked to do.But he thought he would keep it short and tell her the things that really enjoyed doing. "I like to work on cars,like you know fix them and stuff.."He said. "And I like to surf."He added on.Derek didn't really like to talk about himself that much. "What about you? What do you like to do?"He asked.

Stacey smiled, "Surfing? That's cool, you'll have to teach me sometime." She said. She thought about what she liked to do. So many things. "Well, you already know I like to draw. Um, but besides that, I like to write, sing, and play piano. I write my own songs." she said.

"Yeah, sure I'll teach you."He said smiling.Derek loved to surf,and he was quite good at it also.People made surfing out to hard,but to him it was easy.Probably because he'd been doing it for along time. "You write your own songs?"He asked,impressed. "I'd love to hear one,sometime."He said,smiling.

Stacey nodded, "Sure," she said optimistically. "I never refuse a gig." She smilied with a bit of a giggle.
