Shannon sat on the rooftops, her hair blowing in the wind as she dangled her legs over the edge of the building, just looking out at the surroundings. To be honest, she didn't know why the hell she was here, it had just been a last minute thing, part of the plan she had made with Boone to get money off her step mother, to keep Shannon out of the way so nothing went wrong. She sat, her fingers in her mouth although she wasn't biting her nails or anything, it was something she'd done since she was a kid, just sit with one finger in her mouth while she was thinking. Weird really but it was like a habit.
She sighed heavily, she didn't really know if she liked it here yet, she hadn't spoke to anyone since she'd got here, just unpacked and now she found herself here, doing nothing, as usual. She felt pretty uneasy, dangling over the edge of the tall building, so she swivelled herself round, and put her feet firmly on the ground. She was wearing a pair of denim mini shorts, a pink tank top and flip flops. There was no need to dress up, she didn't even think anyone else was around, she hadn't seen them if they were! She began tapping her feet on the floor, making an annoying tune and resting her hands on the ledge and looking down at the rooftop floor.
She began to hum a little tune in her head, she wasn't sure what it was but she recognised it, it was a song she knew, she just couldn't quite think of the name! She carried on humming it quietly, almost under her breath, looking around for at least a small sign of life...

Whistling to herself, Sky climbed the winding flight of stairs that led to the attic. Brushing off her denim skirt, she paused her tune and tipped her head just slightly. At first she thought she was imagining the faint strands of tune that came from above. Nope, they were real. She smiled and flipped her hair over her shoulder- today it was down, straight as it naturally fell, a chunk of bangs brushed across her brow to shade her hazel eyes.
She climbed the small ladder that led to the roof and perked her head up through it's opening, "Hello!" she chirped, waving a hand. The rest of her body appeared; first her shouldes in a soft pink blouse- a richer rouge ribbon knitting together the v-neck. Finally her whole body materialized on the roof and she scrambled upright with a breezy smile, "I'm Skyla." she pronounced.

Shannon looked at the girl, her humming stopped quickly, she wasn't really the sort of person who just sat singing infront of someone she didn't know. Besides, she always thought singing wasn't her strong point, that was dancing. She looked the girl up and down, tapping her nails against the ledge and smiling quickly. "Hey, Im Shannon." She replied quietly, this girl seemed, well pretty chirpy where as Shannon didn't really have all that much to be happy about did she?
She carried on tapping her nails, dong the same tune she had been humming a minute ago, looking behind the girl at the mansion grounds, they were quite pretty really, but she wasn't really someone who took notice of the environment. As long as she had her manicure kit and some lip gloss she was all good.

Skyla picked her way over beside Shannon and, as elegantly as possible, dropped herself down beside her. The tapping caught her attention and Sky's eyes zoned in on Shannon's perfect nails, "Oh!" she all but squealed with delight, "Your nails are just gorg, where'd you get them done?" she questioned, tucking her own hands into the folds of her skirt.
She hadn't gotten them manicured in ages- a few stripes of self-applied pink nailpolish was all that adorened Sky's fingers at the moment. Not that she was embarassed, or ashamed of the fact, but her fingers did look rather grubby compared to Shannon's. The rythm of Shannon's fingers drumbed into Skyla's head and she frowned- dang it, she recognized that song, what was the name again?

Shannon smiled and pulled her hands up, holding them out in front of her and inspecting them, they were starting to chip a little now, she shouldn't tap them really, it didn't do them any good, and she knew it! She tucked her thumb into the small belt hoop on her shorts to stop herself from tapping them, although she was still trying to think of the name of the song she was tapping. It was a song she'd listened to so much back home but the name had just vanished.
"I haven't had them done for ages, I just keep painting them and filing them." She said smiling and looking at the girl again. She was pretty forward, considering she'd just met her, the way she was talking, it sounded as if she'd known her her whole life! But she wasn't complaining, if someone was talking to her then she didn't mind, she hated being on her own, with no one to talk to and she thought it was kind of nice someone had come to talk to her.

"Me too." Sky nodded, "Only I do a much worse job at it." she giggled and stretched her own fingers out infront of her- comparing them to the other girl's. No contest- Shannon's nails looked almost professional, Skyla's actually looked like a sixteen year old had taken the clippers and a brash shade of pink to them. Skyla shrugged sheepishly and tucked her fingers out of sight again, "I wonder if we'll be allowed to go into town; I think I might die if I couldn't shop, or get my hair done every week." she glanced at Shannon and made her own assumptions- she looked like a mall'ish girl, "We could go get manicures together!" she suggested with a breezy smile.

Shannon smiled, pulling her hands by her side and resting them over the ledge again. She turned to Skyla, still smiling, "Yeah, I'd like that!" She grinned with a slight nod. At least she was making some friends, even if it did seem pretty, well, weird. That reminded her actually, she forgot to ask when they were allowed to go out of the grounds and how long for. Maybe this girl knew, well, it was worth a try.
"Do you know when we're allowed out?" Shannon asked, looking towards Skyla and pushing her own shoulders back, sort of another weird habit she had, although it wasn't really a habit, it was like a stretch or something. She brushed some of her hair from her face. It was blowing in her face now that she'd turned round and the wind was blowing behind her. She looked at Skyla again, smiling slightly that she had made a new friend.

Sky grinned and tossed her head lightly, her chestnut mane furling down between her shoulder blades, "Not really sure. We could always ask." she shrugged. It was nice to meet someone who seemed to have the same interests as her, she was afraid she'd be totally alone with girls like Nila who didn't appreciate, or care for Skyla's personality.

Shannon nodded slightly, looking towards the girl as she flicked her hair and said about asking. "Yeah, I guess so." She replied quietly. It was nice to have someone to talk to, finally. She was getting sick of being by herself all the time, it was starting to get her down, especially with the weight of the problems at hom looming on her shoulders. She looked down at the tiled floor of the roof, tracing the cracks with her eyes until she couldn't see them anymore.
"But who do we ask?" She asked letting her orbs switch back to Skyla again.
((Sorry, rubbish post! I have noooooo muse!!!))

"The speaker in the wall?" she said with a wry smile. Tipping her frame backward, she propped her hands behind her and tilted her head back- letting the sun bathe over her face and neck warmly, "Ah, I wish we were near a beach. I do so miss mine." she frowned and lifted her head back up- the lock of bangs falling across her brow gently, "So where do you come from?" she questioned brightly.
(((ooc- no problemo, obviously i dont have one either lol)))

Shannon looked at Skyla, with a sort of sarcastic grin on her face. "The speaker in the wall?" She asked looking at her like she was mad."What are you talking about?" She turned around to face Skyla and lay back slowly on the ledge, making sure she wouldn't fall, it was wide enough anyway. She put her arms up behind her head, squinting her eyes to sheild them from the blazing sun. She lifted her head up when Skyla asked her the question.
"LA." She replied, lying herself back down again, and sheilding her eyes once more but this time with her hands. It was a very hot day, maybe she should go put her bikini on and sunbathe in the garden or something, better than lying on the roof and maybe Skyla might want to come with her, but she was curious. What about this 'speaker' in the wall? She hadn't heard anything about it yet!

"LA!" Sky chirped, tucking her bangs up higher off her eyes. Twisting to face Shannon she perked her brows, "You didn't hear, or see the speaker? There's one in the Common Room. I never thought to look anywhere else-" she paused for a moment, thinking. It was more than plausable that the speakers would be set around the mansion- wasn't it? I mean, the guy probably was going to keep an eye- or an ear- on them throughout the entire house, not just one room, "But I bet there are more." she finished.

Shannon shrugged, she hadn't noticed them but that was probably because she hadn't really been in the common room except when she'd entered the house and she'd taken a quick look around, but not close enough to see a speaker in the wall, surely it was pretty small! She looked at Skyla and nodded, yeah she'd come from LA. She'd lived there almost all of her life, and it was nothing special, not like people made it out to be, it was just like any other city in the world. Had its good points, and its bad points!
"You think?" She asked sitting up slightly again and looking at Skyla again, so maybe this wasn't the place she'd been expecting. She'd thought it was just like a house where some people came and did a few tests, but they were being watched and recorded? She didn't like the thought of that!
