Lei sat on the park bench, fidgeting with anxiety and trying to cross her legs like steel poles so she didn’t wet herself; taking a few quick glances at her mobile in case she had missed a text (which just didn’t happen to vibrate).
See she was waiting for Crush, her weapon, they had never met before and thoughts of nauseous apprehension began to plough through that little mind of hers. What if he was a meany? What if he didn’t like Chinese food.....or bunnies!?
She began to bounce her bum on the spot, really trying not to wet herself now! She closed her eyes and bit her lips, trying to get rid of the sicky feeling in her stomach which began to take ahold.
She hoped the homework she had signed them up for would help them to bond faster!
“One of the keys to an effective partnership is to understand your partner's will, their personality, their nature, the things that make them "tick". For this assignment both team members must spend a week learning about -- and joining in with -- their partner's hobbies.
For instance, if your partner enjoys playing football and bicycling, you'll need to join them in a game and ride with them; if your partner is an artist, let them teach you how to create art in their style. To get full credit each person needs to experience two of their partner's hobbies, specifically hobbies they don't already have in common. Particularly, if your partner has a hobby that you "just don't get" or really don't like... that's what you should focus on. Growth comes from moving beyond ourselves. Both partners must do the assigned homework to get full credit.”
She looked around, taking in every person, every dog, every child; everything around her. Nobody looked like ‘a Crush’, so she carried on waiting. They had met over the Shibusen website forums and began to get to know each other over Deathbook....She just hoped he was all he appeared to be.
She watched the peaceful flowerbed flicker in the breeze....waiting for Crush to arrive.

Crush had been wandering the park for about ten minutes now. His new partner Lei was suppose to be sitting here on the park bench, but there were so many benches, she didn't say which one, and his phone was dead! He had bought a bouquet of flowers for her, he knew girls like flowers so this might be a good gesture.
He kept on looking around and then saw a girl bouncing up and down in her seat with her legs crossed. From the conversations that they had on Deathbook, she wasn't the most "calm" person and was always a little nervous when chatting. This had to be her. He approached her carefully, making sure not to startle her and make her pee herself. He finally got close to her and said
"Umm, are you Lei? If you are, these are for you, and if your not, I'm gonna feel like an idiot, haha."

"Umm, are you Lei? If you are, these are for you, and if your not, I'm gonna feel like an idiot, haha."
These words made Lei jump off the bench; all of a sudden her body became stiff and her mouth wobbled like a tsunami from her attempt as smiling. Her plan was to get up to bow with a massive smile on her face and introduce herself. Instead she stood stiffly and made a kind of raspy gargle with her mouth where she tried to talk.
She just stood there, carrying on making the noise and staring at his face without blinking....her mind was beginning to go numb from fear.
Her mind created a split second of energy, leading her to force the homework sheet into his chest.

Crush tried to figure out what was going on, she seemed to be so nervous that she couldn't even speak. Crush needed to calm her down, and with this piece of paper in his chest he had no clue what it was.
"Haha, I can tell your nervous, here, lets sit down."
He took her hand and sat her back down. Her being still stiff made it more of a challenge.
"Now don't worry, lets take a few deep breaths."
He guided her through some deep breathing exercises and tried his best to calm her down. He then peeled the piece of paper from his chest.
"Now whats this? Oh? A Get-To-Know-You-Better homework thingy. Ok, lets get started, you wanna go first?"

"Now whats this? Oh? A Get-To-Know-You-Better homework thingy. Ok, lets get started, you wanna go first?"
She closed her eyes and took deep breathes, now wasn't the time! Looking up towards Crush she could see his face; as confused as a monkey puzzle tree. It left her tiny cheeks as red as roses, flushing from embarrassment.
She took a brief moment to clear her throat which was beginning to fill with all kinds of nasty body fluids.
Hi...I........It’s....nice to meet you”
Not as zealous as she had imagined from her bedtime slumber but at least something came out. Her mind began to try and make sense of what he had just asked her; right now it was just a mix of sounds between the throbbing in her head. Then it clicked!
Her mind began grabbing at ideas....he wouldn’t be interested in HER hobbies! What do boys like? What do boys like?
My hobb...ie.....is..........................porn?
Not realising what she just said she continued to awkwardly stare at Crush’s face.

Crush sat there as he heard her "hobbie".
"I'm sorry, say what?"
He was really confused, most girls weren't into that kind of "entertainment". He had to ask a question, but his mind was confused whether to be scared or glad she did. After a few seconds, he was able to spit out...
"Ummm, what kind?"
"WHAT KIND OF QUESTION WAS THAT?!?! You don't ask that to girls!" he thought to himself.
He felt like a total idiot. Well, it had now been said, and now all he could do is watch her reaction and hope not to get punched.

"Ummm, what kind?"
There. In that moment it clicked what had spurted out her mouth. Oh dear......Oh dear.......Oh dear oh dear.
She had already said it, the damage had been done; there was no turning back now. Her eyes went wide, and mouth began to tremble once again....and so did her thoughts. Her mind went for the automatic answer.
“.....I like to take photos of my crush in showers...
It came out sternly yet in a completely monotone voice; as if she was completely determined it was a perfectly normal thing to do. In her nervousness it appeared that telling what is acceptable had been dropped for the ability to talk.

“.....I like to take photos of my crush in showers..."
Crush just sat there with an eyebrow raised for a couple of seconds.
"And your crush is who exactly?"
Crush didn't know why he asked this, it was just sort of an instant reflex.
**sorry its sooo short DX**

Her love? Who was her love he asked? Leaping off the bench Crush was swept aside like a crisp packet on a park lawn; in a queer breeze that seemed to emanate from some unknown source beyond Lei.
Her fair hair flickered in the breeze (wind), and her eyes glittered like a pair firefly nets; as if she was trapped in a strange reality where Lei was the heroine in a cheesy romantic chick-flick movie.
She looked to the sky, with a soft smile on her face, the sparkles of sunshine bouncing off her skin. All nervousness gone, any hint of anxiety eliminated; Crush could see she was trapped in a dreamland as she began to spin on the spot, dancing with herself…like a complete lunatic.
“My love!.........Is over There!”
She forcefully pointed in an eastwardly direction, with such intensity it freaked Crush into suddenly jerking his head towards the location she was fingering.
For a moment there was an awkward silence as they both stared into a seemingly random locus, but Lei new it wasn’t haphazard, she knew it was in the direction of the most important thing in the world…. However Crush on the other hand….

Crush watched as Lei dramatically pointed into what seemed to be a random direction, confused out of his mind. After a minute or two, Crush asked...
Ummmmm.....what are we looking at exactly?

She stood there for an awkward few seconds, just simply pointing. Crush continued to stare at her, pulling his curious face.
”He’s there, in that exact direction 6.759 miles north”
She didn’t even turn to face her companion, just stared; heart bounding like a taiko drum.

Crush just sat there looking with a very displeased look on his face. Then he turned to Lei.
"What or who am I looking for?"

Lei’s eyes looked up, they had converted from sparkles to a fire of sheer passionate fire. She lent forward, a body full of nothing but intensity and excitement. Grabbing his hand she ran fall speed ahead in the designated direction, not caring that his friction from being dragged was beginning to spark a major fire hazard. At 100mph she giggled psychotically, eyes shining, while Crush was getting closer to having his head ripped off. Tears where spurting from his eyes, the only sign of this nightmare from ending being her counting down the miles so often. Would it ever stop?! “WE’RE HERE!”PAIN.PAIN.PAIN.Pain.Pain.Pain…Soft. Soft. Soft?  What? Crush suddenly peered up; a house? He looked down. A lawn? Looking backwards at Lei’s psychotic stare through the window said it all. They’d arrived…At god knows where!? Whose ever it was he’d been projectile onto the lawn by Leis breaking from all that running. |

"OWWWWWWCH!!!!!!" Crush yelled to himself in his mind.
He then looked up and saw a house. A house? Then he looked up at Lei and saw the dazed, love-struck look she had on her face.
“WE’RE HERE!”
"Uhhgg, and where is "here" exactly?"

Her psychotic smile grew ever larger, displaying a row of tiny porcelain teeth, which disconcertingly started to look like that of a tigers; razor like and inviting to a piece of raw meat. Her eyes tightened and ready to pounce. It seemed difficult for Lei to keep her teeth busy, and began chewing on the sleeve of her old mangled sweater.
“Why we’re HEREEEE…Gerrard’s houuuuuse”
She said, still not taking her eyes off the glazed windows. It came out with heavy emphasis without a reason; not in an annoyed tone however, more like something the Cheshire cat would say.
In a sudden movement she dropped her shoulder bag, causing a clatter from the various random assorted items inside. After a second of her sticking her head in she retrieved it. Her camera.
She leaped forward, readying her camera.
