Joe Walker

I tiptoed through the deserted hall ways of UofM, I didn't want to be here but dad knew best. Dad knew nothing! He thought that sending me here to do drama was going to help with my issues… a way of expression… he was utterly clueless. To say I was messed up was an understatement; my brain doesn't function like everyone else's, it has some sort of warped view on everything but I have to keep that to myself or else I'll be sent away to one of those crazy homes.

I turned the corner and bumped straight into someone "I'm sorry, I erm well I didn't see you." I looked up to see a tall, muscular boy in front of me. Okay that's a little white lie; I looked up to see a tall muscular man in front of me. He had the most gorgeous eyes; a blue that you could just lose yourself in and dirty blonde almost brown hair. "No worries I'm Joe." Great I had his name, once you get names you start to become friends and it could make this place bearable. But I didn't want this place to be bearable I wanted to be at home. "Charlotte" Let's be honest I had to give him my name or I'd just look ignorant and that's not what I wanted. But that's where it would stop at just names "How come you're creeping through the halls?" he gave a dry chuckle "It seemed so quiet that I didn't want to disturb the peace…" He looked at me for a minute as if trying to figure out whether I was being serious or not. I couldn't tell him that I was escaping from going to class because I hated it here and my dad is a nutter and thinks this place will do me good. I think he knew that I felt uncomfortable here either that or he is a huge jerk… I'd like to think it was the first one because he was gorgeous and the last thing I wanted was for him to be a huge dick… although the latter may be better as I wouldn't have to talk to him again. "SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DISTURB THE PEACE" I blushed furiously whilst he shouted at… well no one… he then looked back at me with the goofiest grin on his face. "JOE WALKER GET INTO THIS ROOM NOW" I whipped around to see a guy with curly hair popping his head out of the auditorium, they must have heard him shouting, shit now they would make me goin there and participate. Joe walked over to the guy dragging me with him… I mean dragging; he had me by the hand. I blushed at his contact and the fact that I was being dragged around like a 5 year old to somewhere I really didn't want to be. The guy in the doorway had curly brown hair, I mean curly, and hazel eyes which had some sort of glint to them. "Dare this is Charlotte who likes the quiet halls I believe this is an unhealthy habit. With this in mind I think it's in her best interest to join us here." He looked at 'Dare' and then back at me before running inside and to what appeared to be the changing rooms whilst the other guy led me into the auditorium. "I'm Darren by the way and this is Starkid. We are all studying drama here and Joe was late to rehearsals so sorry that I shouted but otherwise that kid wouldn't have come in." I nodded whilst he gestured for me to sit down next to a lanky looking lad. Great so now I'm stuck in this place and in the class both of which I'm desperately trying to avoid with some theatre group and a very good looking boy… keeping my head down has obviously not worked.
