Lizzy walked into the courtyard grinning. She was happy here. Sitting down under a tree she pulled her guitar into her lap. Looking around she noticed everyone seemed to be off in their own little worlds. "Oh well. They shouldn't mind me playing a little bit," She said to herself.

Pulling her guitar into a playing position she began to tune it. Having played the guitar for a couple years, she was accustom to tuning it by ear. Smiling when she felt it was tune enough, Lizzy began to strum and test the sound.

"Hey there." Alex said hanging upside down from one of the branches of the tree. "Nice music." He said smiling.

Looking up, Lizzy grinned at the boy who was hanging from the tree. "Thanks but I'm not even playing yet." She continued to grin. Thinking real quick she played the intro to The Mission Impossible Theme song.

Moving to the right about a foot she asked, "So, want to come down from the tree and tell me your name?" Lizzy smirked and patted the ground next to her.

"Well I could." He said pretending to think as he grinned. "Sure." He said dropping down and ttaking a seat. "I'm Alex. Alex Williams." He said. "What's you name?" He asked.

Lizzy grinned, "Nice moves." Leaning against the tree she observed Alex. "Lizzy Maxwell, Nice to meet you." Lizzy said grinning. She continued to strum on her guitar, "So why were you in the tree?"

"I was. Doing stuff." He said when he realised he'd been up there for chick spotting and not what he had thought he had been doing.

Lizzy laughed at Alex's answer. "Stuff sounds like fun," She teased. Looking at her guitar she noticed someone wrote on it. Pausing she stopped strumming and looked closer curiously. "Now why is there writing on my guitar?"

Reading what it said, Lizzy laughed.

"What does it say?" He asked curiously.

Lizzy looked up and grinned, "It says, 'Hope you rule your school. I know it's going to happen and I wish you the best of luck! You better come visit us soon with or we are going to come to you. -your best friend James,'" Laughing Lizzy continued, "'P.S. You better not cover this up or I will find you.' My old friends just wanted to wish me luck and knowing I always have my guitar they wrote on it."

Lizzy moved her guitar so Alex could see what it said.

"I can't read well." He said staring at the floor. "But your friend sound nice." He said smiling.

Smiling Lizzy looked at Alex and poked him, "You know looking down is for quitters? And he is nice, maybe a little crazy for writing on my baby, but he cool." Smiling again Lizzy moved her guitar to lay on the ground in front of her. She leaned forward and looked at Alex's face.

"Pretty hard to tie your shoes then." He said laughing.

Lizzy laughed joyously. She hadn't had this much fun since she was forced to move. "well I do believe you know what I meant," Lizzy said and stuck her tongue out at Alex. Grinning she moved and lean against the tree again.

Alex decided to hang of the branch again so he clambered up and hung upside down. "So why are you at Stellar?" He asked.

Lizzy shrugged and a small frown covered her face. "my parents dicorced and my father moved me here. I was at another school but I need up in trouble as he sent me here do I can have a good life." Lizzy then smiled as she heard her British accent become more prominent. "I'm originally from London, you see."

"I see. So your a pomme. Awesome." He said smiling.

Lizzy shrugged used to nicknames by now. "Yes I believe so," grinning she reached up and poked Alex's forehead. Lizzy giggled, "so what is there to do around here?" She wanted to have something to do with her free time and not laze around.

"We could Surf down at the beach. That's all we did in our spare time in Australia." He suggested. Giggling when she poked him.

Lizzy grinned, "wow! I've never surfed before! I skateboard all the time but isn't it like surfing? I used to snowboard back in London but I stopped when I moved here. Want to teach me?" Grinning she looked up at Alex, "it sounds like a lot of fun!"

"Sure." He said. "I have a couple of extra boards you can use." Alex said dropping from the tree.

"Yay! I get to learn something new!" Lizzy cheered and giggled. "So, what do we do first?" Lizzy asked as she looked up at Alex. She moved her guitar back into its case and smiled.

"I guess we go get ready." Alex said. "Do you have any togs here?" He asked.

"Togs?" Lizzy asked as she tilted her head to the side curiously. Standing up she grabbed her guitar and smiled.

"It's an Aussie thing. Do you have any swimmers?" He asked smiling lightly.

Lizzy hummed in agreement, "Yes I do. I was hoping there was a pool near by so I can swim!" grinning Lizzy started bouncing in place, excited to learn how to surf. She looked at ale and grinned again.
