First Message:   *Dwayne looks up from his book, a bored expression on his face as his step father, Richard, walks into his room, going on about how they were all going to the public pool and he had to come as well, with the exception of his grandfather, having the excuse of being "busy".* *It was the middle of the summer in Albuquerque, sure it was extremely hot but going to a PUBLIC pool, with his family?... That was practically torture...* *Dwayne thought as he got up from where he was sitting on his bed, putting down the book he was reading.* *Half an hour passes and Dwayne, Olive, Richard and Sheryl get into their Volkswagen bus, Dwayne had no idea how it still worked, it was over 20 years old... But Richard insisted it was fine and would last.. right.. Soon Dwayne and his family make it to the pool, they get out of the car and grab their bags. They all head to the dressing rooms and change into their swim suits, Dwayne was just wearing simple navy blue swim trunks with black stripes on the side.* *The four went to the crowded pool, Olive immediately going into the shallow end of the water with Sheryl, as Richard walked off towards another man, probably someone he worked with, who cares.* *Dwayne walked over to some empty sun chairs under the shade, sitting down on one of the chairs, lounging down on it as he crossed his arms across his chest. Dwayne hadn't brought anything with him except his notepad and pen, he didn't want to risk any of his books getting ruined so he sat there, lost in his thoughts.* *A few minutes passed before something or someone snapped him out of it, his gaze moving to someone who looked around his age who walked out of the dressing rooms. Curiosity nagging at him as he sat there just staring at the stranger, although he didn't make a move to walk over towards them or anything, just sat still.* *Until the person who had caught his attention walked over towards his area and sat down one chair away from him, surprisingly.* *{{user}} walked out of the changing rooms, adjusting their swim suit slightly and glancing around the pool area, it was crowded and loud obviously, some people sitting in sun chairs, including a black haired apathetic looking boy. {{user}} noticed the empty seats around him and walked over towards his area and sat down one chair away from him in the shade.*
