Most of the time Ryan wouldn't be caught dead on the beach. She hated sand. Mainly because it reminded her of being dirty and having diseases. The slight color on her arms and legs was from walking around with her camera, skateboarding, and running. In no way did it concern sitting on a beach in a half naked bikini, while getting skin disease. Nope that just wasn't her scene.
Today however, the dark haired girl was going to attempt the beach. Not to swim, or surf, or lay out for sun, but to get pictures. Everything she did seemed to revolve around that camera. Reaching the sand, or more so what she thought was the perfect spot for the perfect shot; she laid out a blanket, and sighed. Pulling up her hair, she pushed her sunglasses onto her head and squatted down bringing her Camera to her eye.
What she saw wasn't beautiful, and it wasn't amazing. In fact it wasn't even the shot that she wanted, rather it was someones leg. Annoyed she brought the Camera back down and cleared her throat, "Excuse me.Excuse me!"

Lucy shivered as she felt a gust of wind come off of the beach. She looked out and saw a girl trying to take a rather good shot. She knew that the girl must've been irritated. Lucy ran up to the leg- or the person who owned it; and asked them to move, so the girl could get the shot she wanted. The person apologized and moved on to a different area.
"There," Lucy said, turning back to the girl with the camera, "All fixed," she said, taking a seat in the nasty sand.

Ryan covered her mouth with her hand to hide a laugh, as a girl moved the person from her shot. Bringing the Camera back to her eye while squinting with the other, she took the picture. Moving the Camera from her eye, she smiled and turned to the girl, "Thanks for that by the way."
She held out her hand Shyly, "I'm uh.. Ryan Corey." she mumbled out hating her name with a Passion. How odd it was that She would get a boys name, and her Brother would get a girls. It just went to prove just how odd parents could be.

Lucy giggled, "It was no problem, I approach people like that all the time," she said, laughing still. Lucy tilted her head and looked out at the beach for a moment before looking back at the newly introduced Ryan Corey. She smiled.
"Ryan Corey," she said, "That's unique. I'm Lucille Spencer- but you can call me Lucy," she said, smiling, "I bet that was a really nice shot, mind if I see it?" she asked.

Ryan bit her lip at the thought of moving someone out of the way, "um, well... I dont exactly think i would be able to do that." she stumbled out. Her cheeks growing red in the effort. She was horrid when it came to talking with new people, so even thinking about moving some random person out of the way.. well it would be pure insanity for her.
SHe blushed again at the mention of her name being unique, "yeah well. What can I say My parents are.. odd?" she questioned it herself, "They names my brother Ashley." she shook her head still trying herself to understand it. Peering down at her Camera, she bit her lip, "Well its actually prety horrible." she muttered hating her own work as always. Still she took the Camera and handed it to Lucy.

Lucy laughed lightly and took the camera from Ryan. She looked down and pressed a button to see the image. She clicked on the one that Ryan just took and raised her eyebrows. She looked up at Ryan.
"Wow," she said, "This picture is fantastic. Do you mind if I look at the others?" she asked, then tilted her head, "Yeah, that's pretty.. different. I've met a girl named Kyle and a boy named Stacy, before. So," she said, laughing lightly then looked down at the camera and gestured, "May I?"

Kyle and Stacy. Well knowing that Ryan didnt mind her name so much. Laughing she shook her head, "well I guess my parents arent the only off ones out there."
She looked back at the camera and shook her head, "If you really want to go ahead." she bit her lip waiting to see what she thought, "SOme are just of playgrounds so they might seem weird."

"Nah, I don't think they'd seem weird. I'm a pretty random person as well and take pictures of almost everything," she said giggling. Lucy hit the button that forwarded her to the next picture. She nodded in approval, and before long reached the end of the pictures. There were quite a few.
"Wow," she said, handing Ryan the camera, "You're really good. I have some pretty random shots on my camera too," she said, nodding. Lucy tried to make herself comfortable on the icky sand but found it almost complicated. She sighed and gave up, sprawling onto the sand, her arms and legs stretched out as she laid there.

Taking back the camera, Ryan grinned. A thing line of Embarrassment showing on her face, "Thanks." she mumbled, "I don't often show them to people. I've got this whole portfolio, starting back from I think seventh grade, and I...." she trailed off realizing she was jumping too far into who she was.
She looked out at the water and then back at Lucy, "How can you stand to lay in that?" she asked her face contorted in discomfort, "I mean... its... sand."

Lucy got up, sat up anyways and shook the sand out of her face and hair. It was sticking to her skin- ew. She wiped it off and stood up, wiping it off of her back, butt, and legs. She looked down at Ryan.
"I can't," she said, disgusted, "Its so gross. How about we go for a walk and you can take pictures along the way while we talk?" she asked, gesturing towards the mile long line of beach that there was.

(woah sorry Luce, Spaced on this )
Ryan Laughed and stood up, "sure I could probably get some good shots." She proceeded to zip her hoodie up and flip on the hood,"So what made you come here? Parents, a school?" she asked as she started to walk. She kept her camera in her hand, just in case she saw anything good.

"Well," Lucy said, starting to walk along the beach with Ryan, "My mom was terribly sick and she had been sick quite a bit. Always sick. My dad had a very high-expectant job and was always gone. So, he was never home and my mom was always sick, which left me to care for my younger brothers and sisters. I have two of each you see. There are the twins and then there are the other two, which are a couple years apart. They're all little though, like toddlers and babies. Well, my mom was very very sick, and she died. That same day, my dad flew inside the door seconds, maybe minutes after she left us, and he killed himself. In front of my baby brothers and myself. It was horrible. An ambulance soon arrived and took them both away, and my siblings were all sent to group homes. Lucky me, I got sent here," she said with a shrug. It really was a sad story, but Lucy didn't want pity. It was a bit ago, and she was over it; Lucy was never really close to her family much anyways- besides her younger siblings. She sighed and continued to walk, thinking about how she wished she could have them back. |

RYan had stopped walking every few steps to take a shot, but she had been listening the whole time. She stopped once more, readying for a bird on a rock, and froze. what horrible things to happen were the first words that ran through her head, but other than thinking that, she couldnt form words to say. If Lucy was anything like herself, she would just wave, I'm sorry away, and ignoring it would make her seem rude.
Ignoring the shot, she stood up and started walking again, "well." she started as her hand moved up to rub her neck, "I hope you find them one day." was all she could think to say. [/size][/center] |

Lucy looked back as they continued to walk, "Aren't you going to go ahead and grab that shot?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at the bird that was still perched on the rock, just in front of the ocean- it really was a delicate shot. She pursed her lips together and looked out at the water, it reflected off of her light brown eyes. She smiled and looked at Ryan.
"Yeah, well, they were all I had, but I don't think that is likely to happen," she said, "I still keep in touch with the social worker- as of now, but that's probably very tentative." |

Shot from her thoughts of imagining if she was in Lucy's shoes, Ryan Blushed, "Right the shot." she muttered as she positioned herself, and the Camera. Pressing her finger on the button she grinned, "All set."
Biting on he rlip she looked down at the camera, "okay this is going to sound, very Disney channel, or maybe it was an old McDonald's commercial." For a minute she let her mind wander then shook her head, "anyway, I believe the saying goes , 'hey it could happen' So it could." [/size][/center] |
