The artificial lights of outside held little to no appeal to Jeremiah, neither did the walls that surrounded him nor the roof that hung above his head. He wasn’t satisfied with the view outside of the window though, he wanted to be out there, maybe do some exploring. Mostly though he just wanted to breathe some of the fresh air that outside seemed to have plenty of. He strolled along with his hands in his pockets, brown eyes looking down at his feet as he wandered around the lake. The wind carried a slight chill from the cool water, the air slightly damp from it as it hit Jeremiah’s skin. He bit his lower lip a bit, looking up to take in his surroundings. The sun was starting to set and the air was starting to cool a bit. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes. He stretched his shoulders back a bit, groaning as he felt and heard the popping. He sighed as he let his shoulders relax, closing his eyes a bit.

He then stretched his legs, locking his knees a bit, sighing as he bent his knees once more. Dark spots appeared in his vision as the blood rushed to his head a bit. He groaned, stumbling a bit before he bent over, hands on his knees, head between his legs, waiting for everything to go back to normal for a bit, taking a deep, shaky breathe, shaking his head a little bit. He stood back up to his full 6’6”, stretching up, standing on his toes, keeping a slight bend in his knees this time, reaching up to the sky. His eyes were closed as he did this. When he placed his heels on the ground again he stretched to the side, arm extended, then switched to the other side. He then leaned forward, placing his hands flat on the ground, then stretched backward into a backbend, oh what years of ballet would do to a guy as far as flexibility went. He shook himself out a bit as he started forward once more, feeling nice and loose afterward. It had been a bit of a rough day, nothing too bad though, pretty much practice had been a waste of time. Two of the boys were out sick and then there was one who decided that it was an amazing time to just start goofing off, and several other people decided to follow suit. Yes, Jeremiah was patient with people, but not when it involved people tripping him and not listening to the coach. He hoped that those two boys were back soon.

Jeremiah’s strides continued, each step taking him further and further along around the perimeter of the lake. He was half tempted to just put his hand in there, maybe even swim, he knew he’d be able to stand it, and he was an excellent swimmer, but he didn’t have a swimsuit on and Jeremiah wasn’t the type to go out in public in just his underwear.

[Theodore Rodriguez]

531 WORDS TAG - JEREMY The day had finally winded down to dusk, and at this point Theo couldn't have been happier. While he had long since gotten back into the swing of things at St. Valentine's, he still got that overwhelming sense of relief the second he'd finished his classes and homework. It wasn't that the senior disliked his classes, or school in general, it was more so he had never really been a fan of monotonous routine coupled with the restraints of the indoors. He was the type who tended to get restless quite easily. So while most of his friends and classmates wandered into one another's dorms or into the commons after classes, Theo found himself wandering outside, either to the lake, the breakers, the forest, sometimes even the green just outside of the school. It was the fresh air and the calming energy of the outdoors that always put Theo's mind at ease, and today had been no different. At least it didn't start any different. After spending well over two hours cooped up in the library next to the window overlooking the lake, the Brazilian found himself instantly pulled outside the moment he'd finished his reading for his English class. Honestly, when he'd started walking, he'd meant to simply keep it at that. The air outside had a comfortably brisk kick to it. The tint of the california autumn was settling in. So how a south american native had gone from lounging on the rocks lining the shore of the lake, to stripped down in nothing but his boxers in the water, no one but Theo could really know. Granted the water was chilly at first, but the longer he remained in their, the more evident it was that the air was far colder. So he figured if he kept moving, kept swimming, he'd eventually warm up even more. It had worked before. The boy hadn't been swimming for longer than a half an hour when he stopped to take a break by the shore. Breath raggid and heart invorated, he took a moment to catch his breath while glancing around the area. It hadn't taken him long to spot someone else by the lake, someone who appeared to be stretching. He recognize the boy as a junior, Jeremy Charis. He watched in mild amusement for a moment as the boy worked his muscles, stretching and contorting his body every which way. A smile etched across Theo's face at the sight of it. As the junior finished his "routine" and continued on his walk, Theo pushed himself away from the rock on the shore and swam after him. "Boy... it sure does take a lot of stretching just to walk around in circles. Who'd have thought," he teased from the water. "I didn't even know boys could bend that way," he offered a cheeky grin as he moved closer to the shallow portion of the lake. Finding the sandy shore at the bottom with his feet, he stood up a bit, the top half of his upper torso exposed to the cool autumn air. Goosebumps instantly erupted all throughout his body. "What are you doing out here, Jere?"

Jeremiah enjoyed the cooler temperatures, it wasn't something that he was able to enjoy during this time of year in East Texas. At this time of year it was still fairly hot outside back in Longview, Texas. East Texas didn't seem to have all the seasons. It got cold, sure, but the leaves didn't seem to change as much as they did here. He remembered first seeing the bright, brilliant colors of the leaves as fall started to settle in. And then there had been the bitter cold of the winter, causing him to bundle up and also resulted in a Jeremiah that was even more miserable that he had already been at the beginning of that year, reflecting on how small he had been back then, still flexible and agile from dancing as he was now, but he had been small all over. He shrugged though, the past was the past and there wasn't anything he could do to change it, so might as well leave it be.

He continued on down the lake, his brain not registering that someone was taking a dip in the lake. He kept on going with a slightly dreamy, dazed expression on his face, trying not to think and succeeding in that department fairly well at the moment. But then he heard someone speak. His head snapped in the general direction, his dark brown eyes zeroing on a figure out in the lake, lit aglow by the last rays of the sun. Jeremiah couldn't tell you who it was at first, but then recognized it as Theodore Rodriguez, who he, and most people, called Theo. He waved a bit, shaking his head, turning a little red. Laughter bubbled up a bit at the mention that he didn't know that any boy could bend like that, turning a slightly darker shade of red. He shrugged his shoulders however. ”Not most boys did ballet from a young age,” Jeremiah replied, just loud enough that the senior boy would be able to hear him.

Then he watched as Theo stepped closer, his torso exposed to reveal the well defined muscles that, yes, did cause a bit of a stirring in Jeremiah. However innocent minded, Jeremiah still had those raging hormones. He was like most teenage boys, beside the fact that he was telekinetic of course. Though he snapped out of it when he was asked what he was doing outside. Jeremiah shrugged, walking closer to sit on one of the rocks. ”I needed some fresh air and to get out of the school, at least the walls. I've been far too couped up for my taste. He nodded a little bit, stretching his legs a bit more, just to feel that instant of relaxation. He looked, finding himself wondering if Theo was wearing underwear, swim trunks or nothing at all. He shook himself mentally though, happy when the images that were flashing through were embarrassing in his opinion. ”Anyway, what made you pick the way you did? Going for a swim?” He tilted his had a bit, not punishing or anything like that,
