Vacant minds

The lake district

Hello! Just wanted to say that this whole chapter is in Kenna's PoV and from now on I'll be alternating between her and Adrian's PoV. Hope you enjoy ;)

Kenna's PoV

I dig my hands into the pockets of my overalls, a wave of relief washes over me as I feel the cool surface of my iPod, tangled in my earphones. I hastily snatch it from the depths of my left pocket where it had been hibernating, and unwind my purple earphones from it.

"What are you planning on doing with that?" Adrian calls from behind me.

"Hmmm, I dunno, I'm gonna chuck it down this hill!" I say making a face at him as I turn around.

It's hard to tell that he's 19 years old really (I found out his age from his memories accidentally). His ink black hair is messy and ruffled as if he just rolled out of bed, his navy jeans looked as if they once fit him however now they're slightly baggy, torn and dirty. On the other hand, his black T-shirt which looks a little grey in the light of the sun is a little too small on him, pulled tight across his lean yet muscular body. His black hoody is now tied lazily across his waist and a sheen of sweat glistens across his forehead.

"Tired already?" I mock, grinning at the fact that he's slightly out of breath,"it's only been 5 minutes!"

He scowls at me and lifts his middle finger up.

Chuckling under my breath a shake my head turning back around, though I don't have time to stop myself before I trip on an abnormally large rock. Right before my body slams onto the narrow dirty path, clutching my iPod to my chest, two big strong hands grab my waist, lifting me off the ground effortlessly.

My whole body tenses as Adrian spins me up, our eyes meeting for a brief moment before he quickly looks away, his cheeks turning crimson. An overwhelming sense of disappointment hits me as his hands drop back to his sides, the cool morning air nipping at me.

"Thanks," I manage to mumble turning around.

I narrowly avoid another huge rock in the path as I plug my earphones into my iPod. I jam the buds into my ears just as the sound of imagine dragons starts to play.

30 minutes later

"Seriously! How big is this mountain!" Adrian pants, stopping to lean on a large rock.

"It's actually a hill... And it's one of the smaller ones," I say.

I go and sit next to Adrian... I guess I am a little out of breath...

"What're you listening to?" He asks, watching me as I shuffle around on the rock trying to find a comfortable position.

"Oh, just some imagine dragons," I reply finally settling down in a smooth curve.

"My sister used to love that band..." Adrian whispers to no one in particular.

"Wanna listen?" I ask, breaking him from his momentary daydream.

"Sure," he smiles, placing the earbud I offer him into his right ear as believer begins to play.

5 minutes later

"We should get going," Adrian says, surprising me. Only a few moments ago he was the one demanding a break!

"Ok!" I exclaim jumping up from the rock with a new rush of energy.
