[center][h2][color=a187be][i]Ashton[/i][/color] & [color=ed1c24][b]Conrory[/b][/color][/h2][/center] [hr] [center][sub]A collab between [@HaleyTheRandom] and [@KingTai][/sub][/center] [hr] [i]Why the hell's he so mad,[/i] Ashton thought quietly. [i]It's not like I can actually help my clutz skills are good enough to get me to the Olympics.[/i] She mentally sighed. [color=a187be]"I'm sorry, really. I should have been watching where I was going."[/color] Ashton bit her bottom lip, a signal to herself, allowing her to shut-up with her lame ass apology. [color=a187be] "Um, Ashton. That's the name. Ashton Montgomery.[/color] As she said this, she extended her hand for him to shake. [color=a187be]"Nice to meet you, I guess."[/color] Conroy stared at this girl for a moment while and after she apologized only to give a sigh while averting his eyes. [color=ed1c24]Nah....you ain't gotta apologize for that shit...just uneasy...[/color] he said not understanding why he just said that. When she introduced herself, Conroy looked at her hand and the rest of her body, sort of checking her out. Yeah...she's a bit cute, but he was not going to let his mind go there. He went to grab her hand to shake [color=ed1c24]Conroy.....Conroy Augustine...you just joined....didn't you?[/color] he asked her. [color=a187be]"Yeah, something like that. Makes me feel kinda like an outsider,"[/color] she said with a short laugh. She was conciously aware of how Conroy looked at her, but brushed the thought aside. [color=a187be] "Please tell me that you have some idea of what the hell is actually going on here, because I'm as lost as yesterday. I mean, Violet literally shoved me in a room and then this pregnant chick started puking and now she's electrocuted. Violet, I mean, not the pregnat girl and... well... I'm rambling again."[/color] Conroy nodded to what Ash was saying. To be honest, Conroy felt like an outsider as well. SInce his brother found someone he likes, Conroy seemed to be nothing more than a guard or extra hand while the lovey dovey shit was happening around him. Nothing wrong with it, he just don't want to be around it 24/7 while in his face. He retorts to her question. [color=ed1c24]Heh...I knew what you meant. My brother does the same shit. Anyways... since the group just got to this school, we've been on supply runs. One of the ladies found out she's pregnant by someone who lost his memory...from what my bro said to me. Violet was with us on one of our latest runs and this Irish woman did something to electrocute her by accident. Since we've been back, I think my bro and Violet were fuckin and she probably didn't pay attention to her injury. And now...she's getting surgery. [/color] he said [color=ed1c24]And my bad about before....my brotha pissed me off. He's pussy whipped right now...so he's not in his right mind but whatever...he's found someone he likes and I pushed him towards her and I hope she'll be fine too. But that's what I got so far.[/color] he said [color=a187be]"Well,"[/color] she responded, [color=a187be]"At least I'm not the only blubbering idiot around here."[/color] She stood there, arms crossed as she shifted her weight to one foot, listening to what Conroy was saying. When he said that his brother was pussy whipped, she couldn't help but let out a short laugh. [color=a187be]"That sounds like a pretty solid explanation to me. [/color] She stood there for a moment, thinking, an awkward silence passing between them. [color=a187be]"You know, I didn't really get to go on the last supply run. I was thinking of flying solo to get a few things for my self, but if you don't mind, I [i]could[/i] use some back up. [/color] A slight smirk came across Conroy's face from what Ash said and he could agree with her. He looked at her when she let out a short laugh about what he said about his brother. In his mind, he felt that this woman here....he could probably get along with her since she sorta "gets him". Standing there in awkward silence, Conroy nearly said something before Ash spoke up about not joining the last supply run they were on. Was this girl crazy wanting to go solo? He couldn't judge because he' do the same. But the moment she mentioned that she could use some back up, Conroy raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms, thinking for a moment [color=ed1c24]Well, shit....I might need something else for myself too while I'm at it. My bro found some shit that he can mostly wear so...I say what the fuck...let's do it.[/color] he said.
