Who: Sparx Larsa<br/>For: Open<br/>Where: The path, hoping to be spared a brutal butt-fucking.<br/>When: Early Afternoon, Sunday<br/><div class="floatleft">(http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/3635/sparxlarsa.jpg)</div><hr/><br/>Sparx was utterly surprised to see Siren, of all people, slow down and match pace with him. She even spoke so kindly about how impressed she was with him not cheating or not giving up. He didn't want to waste too much energy trying to figure out why she was being so nice. The only things he could think of was either she pitied him, or she was just naturally caring. He felt more like it was pity, but he didn't judge. He appreciated the kind words, though he was skeptical. No girl who looked like<em>that</em>, or even close to that, has ever been nice to him. He was a nerdy tech-geek after all. He wasn't a jock, or a playboy. He wasn't even anything special. Just an average human with below-average physical strength. Perhaps he had above-average endurance, which was the only thing keeping him going. If his endurance was any lower, there'd be no way he could finish this. "Thanks... Siren!" Even though he couldn't spare the energy to look at her, he could at least thank her. "But... I wouldn't want you to fail because of me. You should still go on ahead."<br/><br/>It was then that the red-headed Yumi girl he was looking for passed by him. He groaned. Ever since Zaara mentioned swimming practice Sparx had been hoping to run into this girl. But it didn't seem like he'd have the opportunity. She was way too far ahead now. Damn, she must have been some kind of superhero. She was passing everybody, even Zaara. She was actually going to pass Henrick too! Wow she was so...<br/><br/>She tripped.<br/><br/>Now she was falling. Sparx couldn't help but be frozen with shock. She was doing so well just to fall... and now... she was coming straight for him! He gasped and pulled his heavy arms in front of his face. If she crashed in to him he'd be finished, but he couldn't dodge it! he waited, and waited, but she never hit him. He opened his eyes and saw the girl hanging by her fishing line right in front of his face. Just before she smashed into him, she must have hooked it around a tree or something. He gave a heavy sigh of relief, then watched her as she picked herself up. She looked like she was really struggling, so he reached out with his arms and pushed against her back, helping her regain some sort of balance. "That was some fall...!" He strained as the weights on his arms now seemed to double as he pushed. "You should be more careful, though that was impressive." He smirked, then started walking upwards again. This girl seemed a little slower now, so every so often, he would nudge her forward if she seemed to slow down. "Come on, you got this! Us losers gotta stick together, right?" he laughed inward at his own comment, hoping Siren wouldn't take offense. She seemed far from a loser, after all.<br/><br/>He then saw Zaara up ahead... guess he needed some help too. Ha!
