Private RP (for now?) with @My.emo.nerd.fangirl.life

Hunter sighed. "I've been told." He gritted at his teeth at the stupid nickname.

Echo laughed and covered her mouth with her hands. "I like strawberries. I have a lot." She mumbled quietly.

"Uh, that's nice." He shied away from her, looking uncomfortable.

She noticed him backing away and frowned. "I-I should probably g-go." Echo stammered, walking past the strawberry boy.

Hunter watched her leave and sighed with relief. He wasn't good with people anymore. He continued on his way to who knows where.

Echo looked around confused at her surroundings. She turned and started walking the other way. The buildings didn't look familiar. Her eyes filled with tears as she continued to walk. I hate this town. She thought, Why did they have to send me here?

Hunter sighed. He used to love this town, it still had its charm but ever since- No he didn't want to think about it. He shook the memory off.

Echo thought about her family, Stormy, Cherith, Cara. She held back a sob and stumbled over to a bench, putting her head in her knees. I just want to go home. She thought.

Hunter turned his head and saw the weird girl from before sobbing on a bench. It was so familiar. Without thinking, he walked over to comfort her.

Echo looked up and saw the strawberry boy walking towards her. She smiled slightly, wiping at her eyes.

"Are you okay?" He asked, crouching next to her.

"I got lost…" She mumbled, "And then..I miss my family.."

"Yeah, small towns can do that sometimes. Don't worry, we all have people we- we miss." He looked down. "It's normal…"

Echo reached out and touched his shoulder. "It's okay..It's okay." She mumbled.

He winced under her touch. "I- uh have a wound there."

She gasped and drew her hand away quickly. "Sorry, what happened?"

He bit the inside of his lip. "It's complicated…"

Echo shifted her eyes down to the grass instead of at the boy. "Oh, ok." She said.

(um connie??)

(SORRY! I got grounded)

(HEY YOUR BACK and its fine it happens lol)

(ok good)

(so what shall we do?)

(we shall continue)

"Anyway," Hunter sighed. "It'll be fine, you'll find your friends again."

Echo smiled at the boy, "Thanks, same…to you I guess.."

"Yeah. I kinda went through something similar. My friend left and I felt alone, but I had Em-" He stopped, the memory to fresh.

Echo frowned and leaned down to give the boy a hug, careful to not touch his shoulder.

Hunter felt uncomfortable at first but soon accepted it. He squeezed his eyes shut. "Thank you."

"Your welcome." Echo said happily, glad that she had made a kind of friend.
