Xavier walked into the Starbucks. He looked around. There was a good amount of people there, and it made him very uncomfortable. He was never good with people. Some called it shyness, or anti-social. He knew that he was anti-social, though there was nothing he would do about it. He never liked people, and he was always told not to talk by his father. Though, his father just blamed him for why his mother left.
He walked up to the counter. "I'll have a hot chocolate with peppermint in it please." He asked. He stopped a stutter that he had over a year ago, so he was slowly getting better with people. Not a whole lot, but a little bit at a time. Though, when he was at home he wasn't ever found. He would lock the door of his room and hide. He was afraid of his father. He was a tall, older man that was allowed around sharp tools. It scared him.
He took his hot chocolate from the man, and gave him the money to pay for it. Xavier took the change and walked over to a table were not so many people were. He wasn't ready for that though. He took a sip of his chocolate and instantly pushed it away from him. It was way to hot. He touched his mouth, and frowned. That really hurt.

They'll Find You Yet[/font] [/center]
Christmas was long over, but Asher knew for a fact the Starbucks was still serving Candy Cane Cappucino's as a holiday special. And she wanted her candy coffee. With some caramel creamer...And whatever else she felt like putting in it. Her scarf was wrapped around her face so tight against the biting cold she could barely breath, and her hair was probably all over the place.
But man, life was AWESOME.
The sidewalk was a bit slippery. She should be careful. Asher side-stepped a patch of ice and kept walking. Ooh, it sure was warm in Starbucks. "Thank you, God," Asher whispered, rubbing her hands together. Foolishly, she hadn't brought her gloves. Oh well. Asher knew her nose and ears were probably bright red, but she didn't care about that either.
With her hot chocolate candy cane cappucino with caramel creamer, Asher was the happiest person alive. She was beaming like an idiot. Now where to sit....?
That boy! He looked so lonely! Aww! Asher, elbows tucked and sipping her coffee, walked carefully over to him. He wasn't really looking at her, kind of scowling at his coffee or something. She tilted over sideways, trying to catch his eyes and succeeded in getting the attention of about twelve people. "Hi!"

Xavier wasn't really paying attention anymore to anything. He was thinking of what he's father was doing. Luckily, he has a house that was being built, so when he got home all he would do was scream for a few minutes, then go up to bed. Luck was on his side for now. Soon, it would come and try to hurt him again.
He bit his lip, the cold metal of his snake bites wasn't there. He has the studs in, and he didn't bother changing them. He didn't really know were he put them either, so he was out of luck there too. He stared at the hot chocolate, debating if it was cool enough or not. It probably wasn't yet.
Xavier jumped a little when the girl said something. "Oh. Hi." He said, a little bit jumpy like. He didn't think that anyone would want to come over to him, but someone did. That's what you get for sitting by yourself when there is a crowded time in a coffee shop.
He looked at the girl. She seemed very cheery about something, and probably very nice. Though, he wouldn't stay anything unless he was talked to directly, execpt for a few words here and there. "Do you want to sit?" He asked. Those are the words I was talking about, the few words that he spoke when he wasn't spoken to exactly.

Oh good, he didn't look at her like she was a freak. Oh who cared, she was bound to get some looks, wearing the stuff she did. These pants were so comfortable...Haha. She gave him a big goofy grin and plopped down, scarf all over the table. A sip of coffee.
"Thanks! Wooh, cold outside, huh?" Her cheeks were a little flushed. Huh. Pfft. Oh well. "I'm Asherlyn. Well. Just Asher."
"What's your name?"
She pushed her hair behind her ears, letting out a soft sigh that, in combination with the warm air of the rest of the customers, fogged up the windows. Funny. She took a scalding sip, eyes watering and tongue tingling. The whole place smelled like peppermint. It was nice. Asher loved peppermint. Her left converse was tapping against the floor, not really noticeable. She shook a bit when she was cold or nervous. She was both. She didn't know why.
What if he was secretly mad? What if he didn't want her here?

"You're welcome. And yeah, but its the middle of January, what do you expect?" He asked. She seemed very happy about something, or she was hyper. "That's a nice name. I'm Xavier. Just Xavier." He said.
He bit his lip again. Did he even want to trust this hot chocolate that his hands were wrapped around? He sighed, and gave in. He was cold and thirsty anyway. He brought the paper cup to his lips and took a slip of the hot liquid. He shivered at its warmth. It was burning his mouth but he wanted something to drink now.
The liquid went down his throat, warming him from the core. He was content with that too. He rather be warm then frozen. Then again, wouldn't everyone?
He didn't say anything for a moment. He looked at her though, she was pretty, but he wasn't really interested in her. She was a little to cheery and peppy for him. He was the shy kid that didn't really like people.

The First Time

That I Saw Your Face[/font] [/center]
January. Asher didn't know whether he was being a smart mouth or not, and if she'd known him better, she might have popped him lightly on the cheek. Instead her eyes crinkled with her smile and she nodded, committing the name to memory.
"I like it! There was a character in a book I read...He was...interesting."
She couldn't remember the name of the book, the plot, or the author. She just remembered Xavier hadn't been a very nice character. He'd been scary. Oh well. This boy didn't look anything like how she'd imagined the other Xavier.
"Thank you!"
Sipping at her drink, Asher stared shyly at the table. She suddenly felt very foolish. What was she doing, talking to this boy she didn't know? He obviously didn't want her here! Maybe she should leave...?
"Um...do you go to school here?" she asked, tilting her head slightly. Her cheeks were still flushed, but not from the cold. She was nervous. Why?

I'm the son of rage and love
From the bible of none of the above
Xavier looked at her. He smiled a little before he took another sip of the hot chocolate. It was still a very hot, and he winced at it for a moment. He burned his mouth again. Damn, that hurt. He looked up at her again.
"Um...Thank you?" He said, a little confused.
He didn't really understand people, and they didn't really understand him that well. He wasn't really comfortable with people around him yet. And yes, he was a junior in high school, which in retro speck was very sad. But you had to know him personally to really understand why he wasn't that talkative.
"Um. Yeah. I'm a junior here. Do you go to the high school here too?" He asked. She seemed to young to not go to school, but then again there was a good amount of drop outs in this town. There was at least five or six of them, right? Maybe more. Xavier lost count after a while.
Xavier took another sip of the hot liquid, letting it run down his throat. He shivered again. He was cold, and the hot liquid felt very good at the moment. "So..Um...How long have you lived here?" He asked, trying to figure out how to make a good conversation.
"Um. I'm sorry, I'm not really use to people.." He admitted. "I was um.. home schooled till last year." He lied. He was a rather good liar too. He lied to his father all the time, telling him things that he wouldn't believe on his own, though sometimes his father bought it, and sometimes he didn't.

He probably thought she was so stupid! She looked so silly, but she didn't care. Asher tried not to care much about anything anymore.
"You could get a couple of pieces of ice," she suggested brightly, eyes gleaming. "We used to buy a cup of ice at lunch and split it up among everybody, in our hot chocolates." She wished he knew why he was so tucked into a shell.
She could tell. There were lots of people like that. They always had a reason; sometimes it seemed silly, but other times...Well. The history wasn't pretty.
"Yes! I'm a junior too," she said, beaming at him. Propping her chin up on her palm, elbow braced on the table, she studied him, still smiling.
"It's okay." Out of habit, Asher pushed her bangs out of her face. "It's nice to meet someone quiet for a change. So people talk a mile a minute. Like me!"
"What classes are you in?" she asked, feeling a tad embarrassed. What if he thought she was just a dumb prep?

Xavier looked down at the table, and nodded. He brushed his black hair out of his face. "Yeah.. I should, but I don't know if they would give me any." He said
"That's cool." He said. He smiled at her. "I don't know my way around the school still. I'm always lost." He added.
he laughed a her. Always talking huh? Well, she was one person that might be able to get him out of his shyness. Or she would just drive him into it deeper. Either one really.
"Oh. I um. AP History, Honors Physics, Collage Prep English." He said rubbing the back on his neck. So, he was smart, but he was in a lot of the smart classes in his old school.

The First Time
[/color][/i]
That I Saw Your Face[/font] [/center] Asher felt the definite wind of genuis brush her. Wow. All honors, advanced placement classes? She felt her ego get smashed under his brilliance, and she beamed inwardly for him.
"Well, when you've got all that advanced placement stuff in your brain, things like directions get lost," Asher cracked, grinning. "I do okay, but alot of my classes are in the same spot."
Man, it was like having a rock in the dirt. You picked and picked and you got hardly anything in return. Asher felt her mind settle into determination. Asher practically leaped out of the seat.
"I'll get some ice."
After all, who could say no to a girl who smelled like candy canes and looked like a christmas tree? The cashier stared at her for about thirty seconds, but shouted back to someone. She stuck a dollar in the tip jar, making sure Xavier wouldn't see, and bolted back to the table without dropping a single piece.
That, my friend, was talent.
"Here ya go!" she said, beaming at him.

"Yeah..And the fact that I've only been here for three days." He said, before brushing his black hair out of his blue green eyes. He looked at her. She really did look a lot like a christmas tree. Though, he found it funny. "You're lucky. I don't have
"Oh. no.. You don't ha-" He cut himself off as she got up.
She didn't need to get him any ice. Really. He looked down at the table again, watching her get up and put something into the tip jar. He only rolled his eyes and bit his lip.
He watched her come back. "oh..thanks.." He said, not really wanting the ice, but he took it from her anyway. He opened up the top of the hot chocolate, and he then took a few ice cubes in his fingers and dropped them into the hot liquid. He watched as they melted.
Notes; icky!

"Really?" She perched on the edge of her seat. "Only three days, wow."
"So you haven't met alot of people, huh?" Asher tilted her head to one side, dirty blonde bangs falling across her forehead and into her eyes. He looked a bit uncomfortable. Oh no, had she upset him? What if she's said something horrible? What if he hates me? Asher thought frantically, eyes widening slightly.
She had a crazy urge for acceptance. It wasn't just Xavier. It was everyone. Asher had tried to get out of it, but she just couldn't! She couldn't bear to have someone hate her.
Asher took a quick sip of her drink and cringed. "I need some sugar. Where is it?" She glanced around, looking for a container of sugar. What kind of table didn't have any?
Finally, she spotted some at the next table. She glanced hesitantly at Xavier. "Um...if its no trouble...Could you hand me some sugar?"
She tried to smile. Why was it suddenly so hard? She took a few ice cubes and dropped them into her cup.

don't think too hard if you think it hurts that bad
[/i][/size] DON'T TALK ABOUT IT DON'T LET IT GET YOU DOWN[/font][/center] Xavier nodded. "Yeah... That's all I've been here for." He said. He bit his lip, and moved in his seat. He didn't really mind her there, but he didn't like it when other people looked at them. He moved again, feeling very very uncomfortable.
"Well.. no. I'm not a people person. So I don't like to make myself known." He said. "I don't like when people look at me. Like a ton of people that is. I can deal with like a few, but if a lot of people do it, I just get really really uncomfortable." He explained a little.
He looked at her as she made a face. "A little to bitter?" he commented. "Oh um.." He looked at the table behind them. He took a few packets from the little container and turned back to here.
"Here you go." He handed them to her, before he took another sip of his hot chocolate. What was so wrong with him. He didn't want to walk around. He didn't want to have people stare at them. He didn't want to have her do things for him, even with just ice.
That was him for you. He didn't like people at all, but he would try to get along. He was to shy to really get to know people. He was afraid that a lot of people would be like his father. The man that wanted to really just make Xavier's life living hell. He would punch him, slam his face into the wall, a door, a window, shattered glass. Anything to make his son in pain.
