Louder than thunder. (OPEN)

[riley isaiah parker]

With a sigh Riley skidded to a halt. The sound of the whistle circling the air. Practice was over. A smile spread across her lips as she ran to the group that was forming around the couch. She listened to his final speech about how it was a good practice, and that they should go and shower. Though as everyone else left the field to go on with their days, Riley went back on the track. Running was something she liked a lot. Besides skateboarding of course. She had gotten into sports, realizing that it kept her mind from lingering on past things. Things she didn't want to think about. Like finding Chris in a pool of blood. She shivered, and took a drink from her vitamin water. The liquid was cool and refreshing, making her energy rise.

She tossed it aside, before starting up in a jog, she sped up as the seconds went by, and soon the cool air was rushing against her face. her ponytail bouncing back and forth. She could run forever, it didn't matter to her. She had started to like this place. Most of the people here were pretty chill. Even though she did miss her friends back home. 'Kale was thinking good, he didn't want to send me away. Even if i annoyed him at times.' She thought as she bolted around the track.

Stopping only when her muscles started to burn, she let herself fall, laying on her back she looked up at the few clouds that were in the sky. A small smile spread across her face. Maybe she could actually move on now. No connections with her past. Start fresh. She closed her eyes, and stayed there sprawled out in the grass, thinking about how good her future could be.

Zofia was a pretty happy girl at the moment. Not that she wasn't always happy, but now was a good time in her life. No one she knew, no one who knew of her past, the horrible things she refused to let anyone know. People here liked her, and none seemed to want to harm her, and that for her was a very good thing, and she planned on keeping it that way. She loved all her new friends, they were amazing.

After practice, she had practically almost fainted, something she almost always did. She ate, but sometimes she'd forget to drink before practices, something her old friends used to have to drill into her, cause well they all knew her. Here, no one knew that, though she needed that reminder, thankfully someone realized and handed her a water. She paid little attention to who it was before drinking the bottle as slow as she could before pulling her hair into a messy ponytail and running off with a mumbled thank you. Maybe practice was over, but for Zo, it wasn't over until all the muscles in her body burned and so far, they hadn't even began to do so. But as she ran she saw someone who looked vaguely familiar, even from a distance. Rye, her twin or so to speak. She hadn't even began to pay attention, of course she wouldn't bother her twin.

Rye probably wanted peace while she ran, cause well Zo liked that as well, and they were pretty damn similar. Hence the whole Twin thing that randomly started on chat. She watched as Rye laid down and did one more lap before parking right next to her. Staying there for a few she finally decided to speak, "Hey Twin."
