Trevor sat outside on bleachers on the soccer field, he took out his water bottle and took a long refreshing drink from it. He then glanced upwards at the sky watching the clouds drift by slowly, he was pondering but also taking a break from a practice that his coach had called to improve on their team work. He was enjoying the DCU campus and he liked the classes he was taking but he was wishing he had more friends to hang out and chill with outside of practice, that was something that was still a work in progress for him.
He was one of those types who just focused on school and his sports, but he had decided once the new semester had started up he would focus less on school and sports and more on friends, but the problem with that goal was that he didn't even have a handful of friends. He shook his head at himself, so the only way he could keep himself busy was to occupy his time with academics and sports but he felt he needed a change especially with being in college now. He ran a hand through his hair and closed his eyes enjoying the light breeze that was blowing...at the same wondering who he would meet at DCU.

When it came down to it, Anella had absolutely no problem approaching strangers. Even if they were sitting by themselves, away from the rest of the crowd. In some ways, she was drawn to people out on their own. A lifetime of mixed reception from them hadn't changed her, though; when she saw Trevor taking a break, she meandered towards his direction.
She was between classes and had a bit of free time; for lunch she'd gotten herself a sub and, considering it was one of the few warmer days of the season so far, she decided to treat herself to it outside.
Which is where Trevor came in.
She flopped down fairly close to the male and was pulling out her lunch even as she started up conversation. "Nice day, yeah? First time I think it's really felt warm in a while." Except for the cold seeping up from the bleachers, but that wasn't so bad. "Anella," she introduced, getting to the point; she held out a hand and smiled pleasantly at the male.

Trevor wiped beads of sweat from his forehead and took another gulp of his water before glancing at the company that had joined him. He had nothing against complete strangers approaching him, in his opinion strangers approaching him and introducing themselves was the start of a friendship and all new friendships started that way. He was a little self-conscious about he smelled and how he looked. Usually a girl would be completely grossed out if he reeked of sweat. He shook his head at himself, informing himself mentally not to worry about it.
He glanced over at the girl who had flopped down fairly close to him before wiping his hand on his towel around his neck "indeed it is, I wish we got them more often then not" he put in, but at the same time he was grateful she was straight to the point. He stuck out his hand towards her "nice to meet you Anella, name's Trevor and I apologize for my body odor" he put in politely.

Anella blinked, perhaps a bit surprised at the male's choice of words; a smile tugged at her lips and she couldn’t help but laugh. "Oh, no—see?" she tried to inhale through her nose, though judging by the sound that came from her nose, it was very much stuffed up. "Even if you did smell, couldn’t smell you like this. So you've got nothing to worry about. "
Taking his hand, she supplied a rather firm shake, smiling. "Hope you don't mind if I eat, I skipped breakfast and it has been a long day, let me tell you."
Retracting her hand, she didn't even bother to wipe it off before she was handling her sandwich. "You're an athlete, Trevor?" she asked, just before sinking her teeth into her sandwich. She made a noise akin to a dreamy sigh, and either Anella had been starving, or she just really liked that sub.

Trevor chuckled lightly before shrugging a bit "that's good to know, I think " he said unsure what to say on her response. He took a drink from his water bottle, before putting it away in his bag, he would need to get something to eat himself. He hadn't eaten anything either, mainly because his coach decided to call a lunch hour practice. He shook his head, he was grateful he had a change of clothes so he could finish off the school day.
He shook his head "not, at all..be my guest" he said, he tilted his head to the side "it can't be that long of a day yet, its only half way through the day" he told her before watching the rest of his team mates meander off to do whatever else that needed to be done before classes started up after lunch.
He nodded his head "yes, I am..I play soccer and I'm part of the track and field team" he told her, so he had an active lifestyle, when out of school he went for jogs, bike rides and walks it kept him fit so he could keep up during his soccer games and track and field competitions. He had nothing against a active lifestyle it kept anyone and everyone fit. Since the professional people of Destiny City constantly rushed around. The joys of city life.

Anella didn't even have to feign interest; a guy that was interested in sports was someone she knew she immediately had something in common with—plus, a guy who kept himself in shape was bound to be good looking. Trevor certainly wasn't disappointing her in that department, but she would reserve final judgment after she saw him on the field. "Soccer and track and field, nice," she complimented. "I'm a rugby girl, myself. But I haven't been on the field as much as I'd like."
Half because she wasn't on a team right now, and half because she was wearing herself with all these late-night patrols she was running. Being Aventine wasn't unpleasant, nor was it cutting into her life too badly, but being out for so long after dark—getting into fights and staying up late—was exhausting. She just didn't have the energy to keep up with sports on top of it all. "I'd like to, but—you know. Hard to find a good team. Plus, I get a little rough, so nobody wants to play with me," she laughed, before promptly sinking her teeth into her sandwich and taking another large bite.

Trevor nodded his head "yup, both of which I'm fond of, if I wasn't I wouldn't playing them in the first place" he told her, duh..mr.obvious. He shook his head at himself talking to girls was not his forte. He leaned back on his hands and closed his eyes to enjoy the breeze, but his stomach was telling him otherwise and to get something to eat.
He tapped his chin with a finer as he thought over what he could get for lunch, hopefully there was enough time to get changed and eat lunch before afternoon classes started up. What were his options? he wasn't sure. He glanced over at Anella "so..how long have you been playing rugby?" he asked her as politely as he could.

The girl obviously wasn't shy when it came to talking with new people—or talking with her mouth full. "Oh," she said, shoving all the food to one side of her mouth; her cheek popped out much like a greedy hamster, though she seemed to do so with such skill that it was hard to believe it was her first time doing so. "A few years. I played a little in middle school, more in high school. But my team broke up. All the girls had to go to fancy schools across the country." She rolled her eyes, but there was no spite in her voice. "I've kinda been picking around, but I haven't really found a good team to settle in with yet. Guess I'm a bit picky. Plus, there aren't that many girl teams around, anyway, and most of the ones that do exist don't want me on account that I've knocked out my fair share of their teeth. What about you, how long have you been into your sports?"

Trevor nodded his head at he listened to her answer "That's quite a few years, then" he put in and thought about it for a moment before answering her question "I've been playing soccer and been in track & field since highschool, so not very long but it keeps me in shape, and I also plan on getting a dog to help with my active lifestyle out of school" he told her.

"Oh, a dog is good!" she blurted. "I've got one. Definitely worth it. Mine's a big puppy," she said, eagerly reaching for the phone in her pocket. She pulled it out, flipped through a few screens, and then extended her phone so that Trevor could examine the picture she pulled up. The dog in question was large; it was a brown Great Dane lying on its back and curled in what looked to be the most uncomfortable position imaginable for a four legged creature, and yet—judging by the way its tail was blurred in the picture and its tongue was dangling from its mouth—it was very happy to be there.
"My baby, Doggy," she introduced, and from the name alone it was probably obvious that she wasn't the most creative individual. "If you get a dog, let me know! I know all the best dog parks. I take Doggy out and go jogging with him, but definitely not in this weather. He's probably still curled up in my bed sleeping," she laughed.

Trevor glanced at the picture on her phone " he looks, friendly" he put in, before thinking on it "i'am leaning towards a golden retriever, first i have to find a breeder or go hit up some shelters in Destiny city" he told her. Before leaning back on his hands a bit.
He glanced up the sky watching the clouds before be piped up again "i'll be sure to inform you when i do finally get one, im still visiting shelters and finding breeders, i want one who has a good temperament" he put in, he was grateful Candice, a friend of his was helping him, or he would not know a thing about adopting a dog.

The girl wrinkled her nose. "A breeder? Whatever for? Can they be bred to have a certain temperament? Every dog I've ever had, I just sort of went to the shelter, pet a few, took time to pick out the one that I bonded the most with, and then took them home. Not that I've had many dogs or anything, but," she shrugged. "It's been only good experiences so far. Though—I guess there's also a little bit of a risk when you're adopting from the shelter. Doggy, my baby? They knew he was a mutt, but when he was a puppy, we thought he was just a chocolate lab. Three months and thirty pounds later, he had only just started growing." She laughed, obviously thinking the dog's size had been a fabulous surprise.

Trevor glanced over at her before speaking up "well, i wouldn't say that, breeders do breed dogs but they also pay attention to the temperament of each parent" he explained to her. " so when they breed the parents the puppies have some traits of their parents temperament, i don't know much about adopting dogs, as this would be my first dog ever" he told her.
He tapped his chin, he should invite her to games, that is if she wanted to go, as he thought about it, he did have one coming up but he wasn't sure if she would be open to watching sweaty guys run around kicking a soccer ball. Then again you wouldn't know if you didn't try.

"Ooooh," the girl nodded; when it came down the to fine points of it, she knew very little about the breeding of dogs. All she knew was that she had taken a risk at the animal shelter and absolutely fallen in love. "Well, dogs are exciting! Almost the best friend you could ever ask for. I love my baby," she smiled, taking one last look at her phone before she pocketed it. "I hope that whatever you get—wherever you get it—you get a dog you can just fall in love with!"
She was beaming, still, sandwich almost even forgotten about in her excitement. She saw it, however, and took a large bite, making haste to chew and swallow. "You'll have to show me pictures. I'll come back out and watch you while you're practicing. Bother you on your break, maybe?" she asked, grin plastered on her face.

Trevor smiles lightly before glancing at his own phone and putting it away "I'm pretty sure, I will when I go take a look at shelters, that is if I'm not busy with practices and games" he put in. Now that he thought about it he did have leisure time but not as much as other people do. He lightly rolled his shoulders a bit.
"i'll be sure.. to do that when I get one" he told her with a light chuckle before glancing over at her "your welcome to attend my games as well..if you want to..when you aren't busy and what not" he said. He would need to get her cell number if he was to inform her when his games were, but not many girls just gave him their number.
