To The Roof

((ooc: I'm not good at titles XD sorry.))

———————————-

Adelina walked up the dusty, somewhat old, stone stairs that led up to the roof, eyes turned down and hands in the pockets of her black pants. She sighed inwardly, still kind of bored. That was the only reason she had actually agreed to come up here; because of her boredom. And that was the reason she had gone to the computer lab... the things she did because she had nothing else to do. But, anyway, she hadn't been up here yet. She had to come here eventually, even if she didn't like people and she came up with another person.

She opened the door that led to the top of the school, stepping out and off of the steps. She left the door open, and looked up at the sky for a moment before turning her eyes to the ground. Long way down... ha... she thought to herself. But of course it would be... This school is huge... She shrugged, then looked at Raphael. She was silent, not feeling like being the first one to say something.

She watched as he sat down, but remained standing, looking away and back up. She shrugged when he mentioned her being bored, but said nothing. She kind of was, since stars in the sky didn't really amaze her. This was more of something that her little sister would like, not her. But, it didn't matter; she had said she would come, and since she had just gotten here, it wasn't like she was just going to leave. She smiled on the inside when he mentioned the way it might look at Christmas, and kind of agreed with him, but shrugged her shoulders again instead of nodding or saying anything. It probably would look better with snow everywhere, but she still wouldn't think it was amazing or anything, most likely.

"In Ecuador, the sky used to be filled with the stars, and I would play my guitarra...it was...peaceful."

She turned to him. She was guessing that a 'guitarra' was a guitar, although she wasn't sure. "You play guitar?" she asked quietly, just wanting to make sure she knew what he was talking about.

"Where does this joy come from?"

She didn't know if he was just asking in general or if he was asking her specifically, but she shrugged once again as an answer. "Ha, I have no idea..." she mumbled. That wasn't much of an answer, but whatever. It would have to work for now.

".... What would make you happy right now? You seem so...depressed...saddened by something...or someone.... I only wish to help...after all...what are peers...for?"

Adelina looked away from him. She bit the inside of her lip, feeling a bit angry that he had mentioned that she looked depressed. And what made it worse, was that he wanted to help. She didn't like to accept others help, and besides, she didn't think she was depressed at the moment. Just bored out of her mind, was all. She looked back at him. "I don't need any help..." she mumbled, voice and face calm, an eyebrow slightly raised. "Thanks for offering, but I don't think I'm sad at the moment... and if I was, I could handle everything myself..." She looked away from him again, sighing.

She looked back at him when he spoke, an eyebrow raising slightly again. She hadn't quite understood what he meant when he said that. "What do you mean?" she asked. She was still standing, unable to tell that she was making him nervous.

Adelina nodded somewhat at his explanation. She kind of understood now, but not completely. She didn't bother asking again, though, and remained silent. She watched in a bit of confusion as he stood up, but remained silent. She nodded her head somewhat when he said that he was going to go. She didn't say anything, and watched as he went down the tower steps. "Bye," she said, before turning her attention back to the sky and the ground. She was going to stay out here for just a little bit longer, just a few minutes at most.
