Being enrolled into an actual school was utterly amazing and by Monday, he would be in class again. However, today was an early Saturday morning and one that Avery wanted to take by the horns! Well, metaphorically, weekends didn't have horns and he wasn't terribly certain he cluld actually grab anything by the horns. Granted, it would be fun to try! Currently, the small sophomore stood in front of the counter, dressed in his favorite pair of overalls with a baggy sweater. Lightly, he bounced on his heels as he read the menu aloud and under his breath. He hadn't had been to a coffee shop by himself before. He hadn't been to this one in particular and didn't know what to order! There were so many choices! Did he go with something strong or light? Chocolate or plain? Whip cream or none? Extra flavorings? Oh, what was that scones? They looked really nice and so did the glass case. It looked like it had been cleaned pretty well. Wait, could he even eat these? Meh, what would it hurt? "Oh my god, Kid! Are you going to order or not? You're holding up the line!" A fellow student declared behind him, snapping Avery back from his ramblings. With a startled cry he would apologize and order the frist thing he saw, just a chocolate expresso. A drink he really didn't know much about and a lemon scone. He paid and hopped off to the side to await his order and once he got it, found a lone table and stared at his choices. Maybe it'll taste fine. He smiled happily and took a sip only to choke on it a second later. Lesson learned, expresso is strong!

 [attr="class","verde"] he hadn't meant to be watching him, but after hearing the loud complaints from another customer it was hard to ignore. seth looked up from where he was sitting and towards the source of the commotion. the line wasn't even that long. seeing as he could clearly see everyone in line. at the front of it was blonde haired kid.
people could be so rude. had it been seth, he probably would of taken a bit more time just to spite the person. which probably just him being a little petty and would he actually do it? maybe. there was definitely a different way that person could have approached it.
he finally looked away once the commotion had settled down. focusing on his own drink in front of him. it didn't matter that he came to the coffee shop for a hot chocolate. the boy wasn't a fan of coffee and they had a really good hot chocolate here. it even had whipped cream on top.
he was mid sip when he heard someone coughing nearby. it was the same kid from before."you okay?"seth asked as he set down his hot chocolate.

The cup would be sat back upon the table with two hands holding it still. Avery would stare down at his choice of drink and slowly make a face at it. One full of disappointment and acceptance. The expresso was too much for him but the flavor wasn't all that bad. He was fairly certain the chocolate had saved it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to actually drink it. Well, this was a drink he would never order again. Though, curious he tried a second sip and instantly regretted it. Sticking out his tongue in disgust and pushed the drink a few inches away from him. It was at this point he heard someone speak. Curious, he looked up to see a grey haired boy looking at him. Fingers drummed on the table as he spoke cheerfully. "Ah, yeah! I'm fine. Just trying something new for a change." He mused with a wide grin. He hated the drink but he loved conversation. "It kinda took me by surprise with how strong it actually is..." Again, way too strong for him and something he would avoid in the future. At least the scone looked pretty good, and that too was soon nibbled on. "But this is pretty good!" Actually, it was really good and he most certainly would be having this again! Ah, well in moderation at least. |

[attr="class","verde"] was there something wrong with the drink? seth couldn't help but be curious by his reactions. though it had been the choking that had first made him look up. seth nodded as he explained his reaction to their beverage."oh well that's always fun, trying new things. what did you get?"he asked before taking another sip of his hot chocolate. he always thought about trying something other than the hot chocolate, but he wasn't a coffee fan. he knew there were other things on the menu that weren't coffee.
everytime he tried to order something new he couldn't help, but keep getting that hot chocolate. the way he was describing his drink it made him think it was possible coffee."well, the hot chocolate is really good if you like hot chocolate."seth laughed. he did mention the pastry he had been eating was at least good."oh what's that? i usually get a muffin."

Holding his scone between his fingers, he snapped it in half. Nibbling on the frist half and leaving the second portion on the wrapper. He chewed thoughtfully before speaking to the other student. "Honestly, I don't really know what I ordered." He admitted with a cheerful laugh. "I had forgotten what i was going to order and blurted out the frist thing I saw on the menu. I think it's an expresso?" He admitted with a full shrug, not at all bothered by the fact he got something unknown. "Not sure I can suggest it to anyone. It's super strong." As well as equally nasty to him. Though, others would probably love it. Avery crossed his legs at the ankle, wiggling his feet back and forth. His brightness didn't deem but only grew at the mention of a hot chocolate. "Oh! I didn't realize they had that here! I love hot chocolate!" Oh, this he would have to try and remember for sure. His gaze traveled down to his pastry a moment later. "It's a scone! It's kinda like a dense muffin. It's pretty good. Would you like to try some?" He asked, motioning towards the untouched second half. He didn't mind sharing and maybe he could make a friend too by sharing his food. |

[attr="class","verde"] that made sense. even to seth there were things up on that board that he wasn't sure what they meant, but if it didn't say tea he assumed it was something to do with coffee. he nodded at his words. who wouldn't forget what they were going to order especially after the kid behind them yelled at them so rudely."is that coffee? i'm gonna go with it's a coffee thing. i'm not a fan of coffee."he chuckled.
seth nodded in response."yeah it's by the tea section. i mean it's pretty much all i get when i come here."he said with a smile.
he would be lying if he said he wasn't interested, but could he really take someone else's food? even if they had offered. of course seth had be curious, he could always offer to get him something as well."you sure?"he still asked before standing up with his mug of hot chocolate to go over to his table. it's the least he could do. he wasn't just going to take his food and not sit and have a chat.
besides it made more sense talking at the same table then across. as soon as he sat down seth pushed his cup of hot chocolate towards him."since you're sharing with me, you can totally try the hot chocolate."if he liked it he could offer to buy him a mug.

Avery turned to look towards the menu as Seth spoke. Sure enough, there was the hot chocolate listed among the coffee. A small 'Oh' left the small sophomore. Man, if he had seen that sooner he could have ordered that instead. But, alas, his mind had become scrambled from being distracted by other things and so he was stuck with an expresso. "I'll have to remember that for next time, thank you!" Avery chimed in happily as he turned back to look at the other boy. Yes, he was most certainly going to order that the next time! Taking another bite, he nodded his head at Seth. "Mhmm!" He looked thrilled as ever as Seth joined him and seemed to accept his offering! How wonderful! Even better that a sip was now being offered to him! "Oh, are you sure?" He asked with uncertainty, but if Seth confirmed it was fine then he would take a small sip. As he did so, he would let out a sound of delight. "That's so good. I really will have to get that next time! Thank you!" |

[attr="class","verde"] seth smiled at his words."yeah, no problem." he wished he had something else he could recommend him, but his inability to try anything new hindered him a bit. he would just have to bring someone here with him to give his drink too if he didn't like it. he'd feel bad for wasting. especially if he didn't end up liking it.
without an ounce of hesitation seth had offered him his mug of hot chocolate. once he had sat down."yeah go for it, i don't mind sharing."he said as he smiled. he really didn't mind sharing. he knew some people were hesitant about sharing drinks. it had only dawned on him that maybe he didn't want to drink from a strange kid's cup. though that thought soon went out the window when he saw the mug get accepted.
it was only then did seth reach for a piece of the scone that had been offered to him. he didn't want to take the whole thing. especially if that was the only thing he ended up liking. he popped the piece in his mouth and chewed. forgetting that he still hadn't introduced himself."sorry, i'm seth. i'm glad you like it. you can have more if you want."

That hot chocolate was so good that the temptation to take a second sip was there. Avery might have actually taken a second helping if it wasn't for the fact he recalled one of his siblings calling him rude for almost downing their entire drink once. That was something he didn't want to repeat with someone he barely knew. After all, this could be a chance to make a friend! Happy as a tiny clam, he took another bite of his half of the scone while Seth did the same thing. He waited until he finished chewing before speaking again. "What do you think? Tasty isn't?" Or, it might not be to Seth's liking and if that was the case then it was all right too! "I think it goes well with the hot cocoa." He beamed ever so brightly at the introduction, as it hadn't even crossed his mind to offer his own name until Seth mentioned it. "I'm Avery, its nice to meet you!" The small boy chuckled a moment later, "As much as I want too, I probably shouldn't. I might drink the whole thing." Ho-hum, this was great! He was finally able to hang out with someone that wasn't his siblings. Of course, he loved his siblings to death but this was a nice change of pace for him. "What class are you in? I'm a sophomore!" |

[attr="class","verde"] he covered his mouth as he chewed. nodding at his words."i've never had it before, but i would totally get this. i like it. and i think so too. they go well together."he smiled.
it kind of made him want to get another one for them to share. though did he really need to get another one? he had scarfed down the muffin he had purchased before his hot chocolate was even ready. he shouldn't of skipped breakfast that's for sure.
he picked up the mug to take a drink after finishing his piece of the scone. he laughed as he set the mug down and slid it over to avery."it's fine with me avery, after all you did give me half your scone."he was glad avery enjoyed the hot chocolate.
he nodded once more as avery told him he was a sophomore."really? me too. maybe we have some classes together and didn't even realize."he chuckled knowing it was possible. this school was huge. he was positive there were still some places around campus he had yet to discover.

Hearing that Seth, did in fact, like the scone only made Avery even more thrilled. His crossed ankles wiggled happily as his fingers drummed on his remaining bit of scone. Maybe making friends would be so much easier then what Avery had thought! Wouldn't it be wonderful to surprise his siblings with the news of making a brand new friend in a brand new setting? "I'm so glad you like it! They have so many flavors to pick from too but this one looked like the best one." Yes, the best and the prettiest one, at least he thought so at least. Ah, wait, was it the prettiest? Maybe the others looked better but now that he thought about it, he wasn't too sure on that. Not like it particularly mattered but it was now on the blonds mind for the next five seconds. Seth had just given him another okay to take another sip out of his mug. Blue eyes made contact with the other student and then back to the mug with a look of uncertainty. Uncertainty that also lasted all of another five seconds. "I suppose that's fair then!" He side with a small chuckled and helped himself to another little drink of hot chocolate. Avery made a small 'oh' sound at hearing Seth was from the same class as him. This was even better! "Ah! We are in the year! That's so cool. Ah, we may have had a few classes together but I'm not really sure?" It was a possibility he had the same basic classes as the other student but electives were up in the air. "Hmm, I have photography as an elective and cooking." |

[attr="class","verde"] he smiled as he heard about the different flavor options. he would have to check to see what else they had available before he left. if anything he could just take one back to his dorm and have it for later."oh i would have to take a look for sure. are scones your favorite?"he seemed so excited talking about them.
he really didn't mind sharing his hot chocolate. he laughed softly as he watched avery take the mug. he was glad he was able to provide him with something good to drink. seeing as his coffee wasn't a hit. which maybe he was just being biased, but he wasn't a fan of coffee.
he nodded."i mean it's possible, there are a lot of kids that go here."he shook his head when he talked about his electives. they were completely different than his."oh really those sound cool. my electives are physical education and pyschology."though it made him curious to know about his cooking class."is the cooking class fun?"

He was happy as a frog on a warm summers day! Just sitting on his lillypad with a brand new friend to talk too. Well, kind if as the other boy hadn't said he wanted to be friends but he was sure nice to talk too! Avery nodded, "They are one of my favorites. If I could eat them every day, I would!" It as simply a shame his mother wasn't fond of letting her live off scones alone. Even though Avery clearly thought it was a much better option! Hearing the pair where in different classes didn't bother him. In fact, it was for more interesting to hear about how different the classes could be. "Cooking is a lot fun. You get to learn how to make so many different dishes. I really like it. Ah, what's physical education like? I don't think I've ever taken that class?" It didn't ring a bell to him but then again he had been home schooled and ill for so long. "What do they teach you in it?" |

[attr="class","verde"] seth smiled. with the way that avery spoke he could believe it. it was adorable."okay, but you would at least need something to drink with it."he laughed. then again avery had said he would eat them everyday, not that they would solely be his only meal.
though now that he thought about it. if he could eat something everyday what would he pick? there were so many good choices it would be difficult to choose just one.
"that's cool. do you guys get to pick what you make sometimes?"he asked before telling him what his class was like."i mean to put it simply we do a lot of exercising."he laughed."i mean the lessons change. right now we are focusing on running. learning how to stretch and working on how long we can run. before that we did play basketball for a minute."the teacher made sure to keep it interesting.

The blond smiled brightly as he now considered that, as Seth stated, he would need a drink. One couldn't just eat scones alone without a drink otherwise they would probably choke! He would be no exception to that either. A finger tapped at his chin in thought. "Well, I suppose I would just live on hot cocoa with my scones!" However, that wouldn't be possible in the slightest. Having that much sugar all the time would be bad for him in general. Still, it was a fun thought regardless. "Mhm, sometimes we get to pick what we are going to make. Other times, its what the teacher wants us to do. Either way, its a lot of fun." Cooking was one of the few things he could do when he stayed at home all the time. Even now, he enjoyed it all the same and was able to expand on it now. Now, Seth's class sounded interesting too. He wasn't sure how he felt about the idea of doing a lot of running, but it could be fun! If only he was allowed to take those sort of classes. His mother had begged him into agreement to not do those in fear of his health. A shame. "Basketball sounds like a lot of fun. I've never played but I've seen it on the TV before. Do you get to play other sports too?"seth brooks [/div] |
