After leaving the dining hall, Noelle decided to head to the beach. It was a beautiful Saturday after all. Shoes in hand, her toes sank into the warm sand as she looked for a nice spot to draw. She found a rock near the shore and sat on it, flipping her sketch pad open and beginning to draw the gorgeous scenery before her. The pencil flew across the pad, Noelle's brows furrowed in concentration and her tounge stuck out slightly. She bit her bottom lip as she observed her own sketch. Noelle was her only critic, and she was sometimes a bit of a perfectionist.

Cayden followed Noelle out of the dining hall, biting his lip as they reached the beach and she still hadn't noticed him. "Uh... hi..?" He called out softly, hoping she would hear him over the crashing of the waves. "Della kind of just apparated into thin air, do you mind if I hang out down here with you?" He asked, hoping she wouldn't be startled by his sudden appearance. Rubbing the back of his neck, he awaited a response from her, feeling rather awkward.

Noelle looked up, startled and quickly slammed her sketch pad shut.
"What are you doing here?"
She asked with out really thinking. When he told her what happened she took a few calming breathes and put her sketch pad on the side. Noelle was never really high strung but when it came to her art, she was a bit protective. She shuffled slightly to the side and patted the rock, motioning him to come sit beside her.

Cayden hesitated for a moment as he saw how she reacted to his being there, biting his lip for a moment before shuffling over to sit next to her. "Thanks," He mumbled softly, looking out at the water. "I'm sorry for sneaking up on you, I didn't mean to.."

"No it's okay. I was just..."
She trailed off for a moment. Noelle was never in an awkward position before. She was usually very talkative and witty.
"I was just drawing."
She said silently, and for a second, she surprised herself. But then she thought, She was in a whole new school. These people were probably nothing like her old friends. People might actually appreciate her.

"Can I see?" He asked, knowing that it may not be smart for him to have just asked that of the girl who had freaked out on him seconds earlier because he startled her. "Please? I won't say anything about them, I just like seeing other people's art.." He said, biting his lip for a moment and then smiling at her with his trademark grin. He knew she would at least melt a little bit inside from it, and thats precisely why he used it at that moment. "Pleaseee?"

Noelle tried to put on a straight face, but her bow shaped lips curled up at the ends, giving her away. She laughed at his adorable grin and reluctantly grabbed the sketch book and handed it to him.
"Tell anyone and I'll kill you."
She said, grinning. As he opened the book she bit her coral pink lips, nervously. This is the first person she'd ever showed any of her art to.

Cayden took the sketchbook from her hands carefully, delicately flipping the first page open and looking up to see her reaction. She looked rather nervous, but had no need to be. He wouldn't expose her secret talent to anyone without her approval, he wasn't that type of boy.
"I won't tell, I promise." He stated, making an 'x' over his heart with his finger and then looking down at the page. As he turned from page to page, Cayden became more and more impressed, a small smile on his face as he saw how her drawings had progressed throughout the course of the book. Once he reached the last page she had drawn on, he shut the book and smiled. "You're really good. Why don't you show people?" He asked softly, not wanting to pry.

Noelle smiled, biting her lower lip when he tells her he wont say anything. Once he finishes going through all the pages She looks at him.
"I-i.."
She never really thought about it. Noelle had seen her pictures, ranging from portraits to abstract. She knew she was good, and even developed her skill when she was in France, and yet, She has never told anyone.
"I don't know."
She said, a bit puzzled this time.
"I just thought it would be one thing I could keep to myself. People always expect me to do something great in dance, and I just thought, they wouldn't take my art seriously."
She responded, truthfully.

Cayden looked at Noelle for a moment, tilting his head to the left a bit as she explained why she was always reluctant to show people. Nodding his head, he shut the sketchbook and handed it back to her, a small grin on his face.
"I get what you mean. My parents are like that with me and Del, but not for dance. Well, for Della for dance, but football for me.. But I won't tell anyone about this until you want me to." He promised, a grin still on his face. "But, if no one else has seen them, why did you show me?" He asked, arching an eyebrow questioningly, a smirk on his face.

Noelle listened to him, smiling. She knew it was a good idea to show someone here, Things were different now. It was great how they could relate. He asks her why she showed him and Noelle stop a blush from creeping on my cheeks.
"Now, now. Lets not get ahead of ourselves, Caydie."
She says, in a teasing tone, emphasizing on his nick name. She gives him a smug grin, her Turquoise eyes dancing.

Cayden laughed as she tried to hide the obvious blush that was starting to show itself on her face. Raising an eyebrow as she tried to use his childhood nickname against him, he reached a hand up and tentatively brushed a loose strand of hair away from Noelle eyes. "You have very pretty eyes." He mumbled, scooting away from her after he realized what he had just done.
His sister's words rang through his head. -Don't go screwing around with girls' minds, they don't like it.-
"Sorry." He mumbled, casting his gaze down towards the beach again.

"Thanks."
She said with a smile, he scooted away and she looked at him, puzzled.
"What for?"
She asked, genuinely confused.

"Uh.. touching you without consent?" Cayden managed to say, a faint blush appearing on his neck as he spoke. He laughed nervously, knowing he had just made a fool of himself. "I mean.. uh.. yeah.. Sorry?" He muttered, laughing again quietly as he tried to rearrange his thoughts. "And you're welcome."
