Sarah smiled as Natalie started to warm up to Erik and nodded quickly taking a step back as Natalie started asking more questions and opening up a bit to him.  Her eyes caught Erik's in a simple 'keep going' type of way, knowing how hard it was to get involved with anything.  Sarah loved Natalie for everything she still had going for her and would want her to talk to Erik more if he interested her.  Natalie was pretty but sometimes it could be hidden because of her bookish ways.  Sarah had tried and tried to get her to come to the fraternity parties when she had met Mike, which she had always had an excuse or reason not to go.  Only afterwards, Sarah realized that Natalie had been the smarter, more intuitive one of them both and Sarah stopped asking her to come with her.   Sarah had a hard time telling Natalie why she stopped inviting her to the parties but figured maybe this week would allow her the chance.<br/><br/>Sarah backed slowly away from the pair, her heels clicking slightly on the hard floor and she entered back into the main room to find Jacob and Rick making small talk.  She moved closer to them and found a chair to sit on, keeping her tanned knees and thighs together and tilted off to the side.  She flipped her ponytail behind her  he's to hang straight down her back and smiled, looking to politely insert herself into the conversation they had started.  "Hi Jacob, this is definitely a nice place.  Is it old?  Also what is the town like?  I passed through it and honestly missed most of it." Sarah nodded to them both, watching Rick relax and enjoy himself and Jacob be a bit more business like.  'an interesting group we have here...' she thought to herself.
