Round and Round

Asher loved the park. She loved being outside. It was a million times better than sitting around indoors bored out of her skull. At least when she was alone and at the park there was something to do, like get pretzal, which had been the first thing she did. She got a big soft pretzal and was now tearing off chunks of it to eat. She tossed the bit in the air to catch it in her mouth before going on and taking a seat on the Merry-go-round.

She tucked one foot underneath her and used the other foot to slowly move the equipment in a circle. She leaned her back against one of the metal poles and watched people as she spun. There was an older couple sitting on a bench and then a mother pushing her two kids on the swings a few kids were playing in the sand... she just kept going, slowly chewing the pretzal and spinning.

It was another boring day, and Jules didn't have anything better to do, so she decided to head to the park. She felt in the mood to write a new song, and for some reason, whenever she was in the park, it was easier to express her feelings, and call her crazy, but it also sort of inspired her. So, guitar in hand, along with her old tattered notebook and a chewed up pen, she made her way through the park, and sat down underneath a tree, just a few feet away from the merry-go-round.

A few minutes later, a girl who looked a few years younger than herself sat down on the merry-go-round and Jules watched as the girl spun around and around, in dizzying circles. Een though Jules wasn't on the merry-go-round she felt dizzy from just watching it.

Figuring she should be nice and say hi, Jules put her guitar to the side, and cleared her throat. "Hey," She called to the girl, who she hadn't seen around. Maybe she went to a different school, but Jules doubted it, after all Dalton was pretty much the only school worth going to around. Remembering that she forgot to mention her name, Jules added, "I'm Jules, by the way," With a smile.

The birds were chirping. There was one that really just stood out in her head. This bird had high pitched chirp that would sound every other time. her foot hit the ground. It gave her a rhythem, something to play in her head and base all the other noises around.

One could argue that Asher was slightly crazy, but she wasn't, she just heard music in everything she did. She once took a mulitple intellegence quiz as part of a class and, no big shock, she was a musical learner. She added beats to everything, counted her steps in sing song when she didn't have anything to think about, or want to think about.

Music started playing, totally throwing off her original beat. She changed to the beat of the new song and hummed along. She looked up when she heard a voice. She hadn't realized the music stopped.

"Hey." She smiled. "What's up?" She went back to the bird chirp rhythm and toyed with her long brown hair. "I'm Asher." She added.
