Not exactly graceful.....[open]

[Olivia Delmore]

...Do you feel like a man, when you push her around
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's got to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

The song 'Face Down' by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus blasted from her ipod as Olivia ran laps around the gym. Not exactly her favorite type of music to listen to on a regular day-to-day basis, but it was fast paced and sometimes she needed the motivation. She was not in track, or any sport for that matter, so she didn't need to train. She just liked running. The reason behind her not being in soccer or something is because she is so extremely clumsy. Not clumsy, like spilling a water glass every now and then, clumsy like tripping over flat ground, running into stationary objects, and especially slipping on ice. This was why she didn't jog outside in the winter. Way to clumsy for that.

After pulling her long dark hair into a ponytail, she glanced around the gym. Not to many people were in here. She jogged at a slow, steady pace, going along with the music. She mouthed the words, getting pretty into it, probably looking weird while she did so. But Olivia didn't care. People could think what they wanted about her, it didn't matter. Their loss. Of course she didn't really think negative thoughts like this. She thought about happy things. Butterflies. Rainbows. Sunshine. Anything sad she avoided. She refused to believe that this was a bad thing. Why should she live life angry and sad?

While lost in her own mind, she forgot to watch where she was going and ran into something. Something hard. A person? Yes, a person. Whoops. Well, that's why 'graceful' and 'Olivia Delmore' weren't usually used in the same sentence. She tumbled to the ground, hard, her earphones yanking out at the sudden moment. Her hands flew out in front of her to catch herself and she did, but not before skinning her knee and twisting her ankle a bit. Her cheeks turned a shade of red and she looked around in embarrassment for the person she had hit.

[D]A[N]I[C]C!?

_Outfit.

Dani knew better than to run laps alone. She'd tried waiting for everyone to leave the gym before she started running, but that was opening doors for revenge on the prankster. So she'd learned to take her running shoes and iPod into the gym during hours where there were enough people there that she couldn't be ambushed without witnesses. Although that made her a little jumpy, just running while surrounded by people, it was better than someone appearing out of nowhere--literally, the kid was invisible--and tackling her form the back. The floor is hard, and she'd rather not fall onto it again.

Pausing to switch songs, because if she was caught actually jamming to Ke$ha that'd be the end of her, she assumed that the girl that had been running behind her would actually pay attention and move around her.

As per Dani's luck, that wasn't what happened. The girl ran full into Dani, and Dani actually fell. Suddenly facedown on the floor, Dani just barely caught herself before her nose hit the ground. "What the hell?" She asked, a bit more confusion than anger in her tone. She flipped over and sat up, opening and closing her hands while she waited for the stinging to go away. Then she looked accusingly at the other girl. "Dude, watch where you're going. I could have broken my nose, and that's the one thing I've kept from breaking on my face." She was talking a little louder than necessary, but she was irked. Dani didn't get to run for simply the feel of running very often, and now even that was ruined for her.

[Olivia Delmore]

Olivia rolled over onto her back and sat up, a bit confused to what had happened. She wasn't paying attention. That's what had happened. She wasn't paying attention and now she looked like an idiot on the ground, her face as red as the blood on her knee. Nobody really seemed to notice much, just a few bypassing stares. She awkwardly lifted herself off of the ground, adjusting her shorts and tank top. Then she heard a voice beside her. Her gaze fell upon the girl that she had hit.

"Oh my gosh! I am sooo sorry!" She said, her hand flying over her mouth as the girl looked so angry. She hated conflict. Her usually peppy, happy face fell and she held out her hand to the girl who's name had proven to escape her mind. "I'm so sorry, I should have been watching where I was going, I...sorry." She seemed to blush even more, biting her lip. She felt awful, and looked it as well. "I'm so clumsy..." She scolded herself, leaning down to help the girl up after shoving her ipod into her pocket. So much for a peaceful run.

[Danicca Waylan]

[D]A[N]I[C]C!?

Dani didn't much care that the other girl had a scrape or two. The apologies were a bit annoying, but at least it wasn't deliberate. Then there would have been trouble for everyone. Dani accepted the girls help, then stayed right next to her, not backing away to gather personal space but rather standing her ground to show that she wasn't shy or taking the blame for this situation.

"It's fine. Almost wasn't, but what does that matter?" She was guilt tripping the girl, but more out of annoyance at having fallen than any ill will towards the girl. She looked up and got a good look at the girl's face, being so close. "I haven't done anything to you, have I?" She asked, wondering. She didn't remember this girl's reaction-face after having been a victim of one of her pranks. That means either Dani's memory was failing, or she was slacking with her get-everyone-in-the-school-pranked plots.

[Olivia Delmore]

Okay. So yes, Olivia was intimidated by the girl. She backed up a step as she pulled her to her feet, still blushing. This girl wasn't the type to just smile and say something like, 'Oh, that's alright', or, 'Don't worry about it'. For a minute she wished she'd run into someone like that. With a sigh and a slight shake of her head, Olivia crossed her arms, not quite in a defiant way, but not defeated either. Although slightly...scared of this girl, she wasn't incapable of speaking for herself. And she still felt bad.

"It does matter, I could have really hurt you." She said, shifting her weight and glancing around the gym, stepping out of the way of others. She wiped away the blood on her knee, not really caring. Although sensitive to pain, this was just a scratch. Nothing to cry over. Olivia looked back up to her, blinking several times in confusion. "Done anything to me? Like...a prank?" She tilted her head slightly and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

Dani raised an eyebrow, considering this girl's character. She wasn't uber timid, but she was no Waylan. Confidence seemed to be on the all-right-level, she was apologizing, wasn't backing down though. Huh. She'd have to do more research, but this one might be fun to mess with.

Hearing the other girl say the magic word, Dani's eyes lit up. "Aha! So you've heard of me." She hooked her thumbs on her pockets, relaxing some. It was good to hear that some of her work paid off, somehow. Even if it wasn't the most moral work in the world, she liked it, and was proud of it.

Except when it lead to grounding. Then, not so much.
