After River and piper had got their pictures, they sat back down and began drawing each other.
"You wanna come get some food with me after class and we can work on these together or something?" Piper asked with her head still down focused on the outline of her drawing.
"Oh yeah sure" River replied.

River got up to get more charcoal, as she had a flimsy one that kept breaking. She walked into the storage room.
"Sup River"
This is Tyler. He used to live next door to River for the entirety of her childhood. Their parents were close. River used to be very close to Tyler until he moved when he was 12.
"Hey Tyler"
Tyler was kind of a strange kid. He was the kid that was way too smart for a 12 year old, way too articulate for a 12 year old and way too handsome for a 12 year old. Yes, River had a crush on him. key word, had.
Tyler's naturally blonde, but he dyed his hair black ombréd into green. He has a small stretcher in his right ear, a nose ring on his left nostril and a smiley lip piercing. He was tall, I'd say 6'1, maybe 6'3.
"So how are you?" Asked Tyler.
"I'm great, but my charcoal stick, not so much"
Tyler laughed and handed River the box of charcoal sticks.
"Thanks" River said and handed the box back after grabbing a new stick".
"How's carol?" River asked. That's Tyler's mum.
"Eh, she's alright, still struggling with my dad and shit, the usual" answered Tyler.
"Ah...." river said, giving Tyler a smile that said "you can talk to me if you need me"
Tyler smiled back.
