Eileen laced her skates up, having changed into a pair of black flowy pants with pockets and a green tank top with a light beige coat over top of that. She only reserved this outfit for skating, as it made it easy to move around the ice and she didn't look like she was trying to impress anyone. Tying her hair up into a high ponytail, the redhead made her way to the ice rink from the changing room. Taking the guards off of her blades, she stepped out onto the ice after putting her MP3 player on and putting the earbuds in her ears, gliding over the ice nearly effortlessly.
She still had to work on her technique but Eileen found this far more fun than Physical Education (as PE was one hell of a bore at times). She could be herself out here on the ice, and she didn't often talk to people if she could help it but if people wanted to talk to her they were more than welcome to do so. Smoothly turning on the ice, Eileen started in the opposite direction, doing laps to get the flow going and into a nearly meditative state, the blades cutting into the ice...her music playing, the coolness of the air, it was perfect.

The doors to the Ice Rink opened as Eleanor walked in, smiling brightly. The doors swung shut behind her as she headed over to the seats around the rink. She looked over and saw Eileen already skating. She waved a hand, grinning and then drew her fingers to her mouth and whistled loudly.
"Hey! Uhh... You! Hi!" She'd seen her around... kind of. She'd recognize a wave of red hair like that anywhere! She grabbed her Ice skates and laced them up quickly, stepping onto the Ice and watching Eileen move.
She was good! Just a bit of polishing and she'd be a rock! A shiny rock.
She was wearing an ACDC shirt with black leggings and she reached up to put her long ginger hair in a bun as Eileen skated around. Eventually Eleanor caught her eye and waved her over.
"Hi! I'm Eleanor, what's your name?"

At the whistle interrupting one of Eileen's favorite songs, the redhead paused her mp3 player and looked up, raising an eyebrow, okay well, there went her meditation in a sense before she tried doing tricks. Turning her MP3 player off, Eileen stopped about the middle of the rink and pulled her earbuds out, just as the girl called towards her. Wrapping the earphones up, she stowed them, and her MP3 player in her left pocket.
As the other redhead introduced herself, Eileen slowly skated towards her. "My name is Eileen." She replied softly. She didn't recognize Eleanor right off, focusing more on the conversation than anything. "It's nice to meet you." A slight smile appeared on her face as she stopped about half a foot away from the other redhead.

"Nice to meet you too!" Eleanor folded her arms and tilted her head, "You're pretty good at this skating lark! Are you on the Ice Skating team?" She stood up straighter and folded her arms, "Because if you're not, you really need to be!"
She leaned against the wall of the rink and looked around then pushed off from the side and began to skate around the rink, calling over to Eileen as she did, "Where you from Eileen?"

Raiden made his was to the gym to go see Eleanor skate like he usually did when he didn't have class or when he wasn't doing thing. And today was one of those days. Pushing the door open he walked in and closed the doors behind him once he was all the way in, looking around he spotted Eleanor and grinned a bit as he made his way over to her. "Hey Elle! I'm here!" He yelled out just as he got to the a good spot to sit and watch. Just as he was about say something else he stopped and looked at the other redheaded girl. Blinking a few times he then smiled once more and threw up a hand. "Hello! I didn't see you there at first I'm sorry about that."[/b]
Bring his hand down he then looked back at Eleanor. "Is my little Elle making new friends?" He asked teasing her just a little bit.

Eileen gave a soft smile then blushed at the compliment, clearly unused to them. She ducked her head shyly and fidgeted a little bit on the ice. Leaning against the wall, the redhead bit her lip a little bit before choosing to answer.
"I'm not on the skating team yet, no. I'd prefer to perfect my ice skating first before I think about joining the team." Eileen replied in a quiet voice, looking a little uncertain. "I'm unsure if I'd even be good enough to audition to get into the team.." She blinked a couple of times at Eleanor's question of where she was from and worried her bottom lip a little bit before answering. "I'm originally from Ireland." She replied. "I moved here with my mom when I was six."
At someone else talking to her, the redhead looked over at Raiden, and gave a nod. "It's fine." She replied softly. "I'm not exactly the most noticable person on the planet after all."

"Well, the whole reason for teams is so we can all improve together!" Eleanor nodded, holding her fist up, "And considering you're talking to the captain of the skating team, and she wants you on the team, I'd say you have a pretty good chance." She winked, doing another lap around the rink and pulling to an abrupt halt when Eileen said she was from Ireland.
"No way! I'm from Ireland too!" She grinned brightly, "Oh, that is brilliant, small world isn't it?"
At the appearance of Raiden, Eleanor's face lit up and she skated over leisurely to the edge of the rink, leaning on the small wall, and waiting for him to get up.
"It's about time!" Grinning up at him, she placed her hands over his and leaned back, raising an eyebrow. "Don't patronize me you ass." She leaned forward, smiling as she rested her forehead against his for a minute then turned around, waving at Eileen, "This is Raiden, the guy that gets to call me his girlfriend." She grinned, "Rai, this is Eileen, I'm bullying her into joining the Skating Team."

"I know I know, I had got caught up in playing Dead Or Alive online and some new person whipped my ass. So I had to get my face back." He struggled as he kissed her forehead lightly just as she turned away."By way I can patronize you as I please since I'm your wonderful loving boyfriend. No once can though." He a nod and a grin Raiden glance over at Eileen he waved at her "Hello Eileen It's nice to meet you and please join the skating team. Become one of them and for a bonus you get one of the coolest girl to be your teammate." He winked at Eleanor then leaned on the little wall a bit.
Hearing the comment that the other redhead made he frown then shook his head. "Hey now don't talk like that! Everyone in this world is noticable. So don't let anyone else tell you differently. He said with another nod and then smiled. "Oh and another thing. You have red hair so you are every noticeable."

Eileen fidgeted uncomfortably not sure if she really wanted to join, she was already in so many clubs/teams, it was going to be hard to juggle all of this, including her studying schedule. "I..I'm not sure...I'm already in a lot of clubs, and I'm always needing to study so I don't fail my classes..can um...can I think about it?" She asked uncertainly, then gave a soft smile at the fact that Eleanor was from Ireland like she was. "Yes, it really is a small world..." She responded quietly, turning away from the show of affection between the couple, a slight blush appearing on her face.
She continued to skate, at least until Eleanor spoke again. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Rai." She gave a slight wave towards him and skated towards the wall a little ways away from the lovebirds. "I'll think about it." She said to Raiden. "Right now I'm uncertain, but...if I can fit it in, I will most certainly join it...."
At the compliment, she shifted uncomfortably and simply shook her head. "I'm just a face in a million other faces." Eileen shrugged. Her attitude was like that of someone being..bullied, to say the least. She gave them a weak smile then continued in her skating, trying to get back into that thoughtless state, but also keeping herself mildly alert for the continuing conversation.

"Good, I hope they kicked your ass again." Eleanor smirked at him, looking over at Eileen and rolling her eyes.
"Look, if you don't want to join I'm not gonna force you but you can't just study all your life." She shook her head, "Relax, live a little! Make time for other things, or just don't join the team, but keep in mind, that's not an option." She smiled, "I want a solid team this year, I want to win some competitions, so keep it in mind!"
As Eileen continued to talk Eleanor frowned. Wow. This girl really didn't seem to like herself. "Well, that's only true if you believe it." Eleanor shrugged, sliding over to and around Eileen, "Think about it." She leaned back and waved at Raiden, "I have a new routine, it's pretty awesome. Wanna see it?"

Raiden stuck his tongue out at Eleanor the smirked. "You just salty because I beat you the last time you was at my place. If remember right I do believe it was zero to ten." He said being smudged knowing that it was only game he could beat her in like that. Rasing a brow at Eileen he could not understand why someone would want to study so much. It was not enough studying in the world for some to do it every single day. If you know it then you knew it and if you didn't....you better pray for the best. Then again that was maybe just the way he thought about it.
As the other redhead made her second comment he made a face at her. Why would anyone say something like that!? Like who in the hell have this girl been talking to?? It was one thing to your nose in the book and it was another thing to flat out not like yourself. Letting out some air he shook his head. "Look I don't know who been telling you crap like that but just stop listening to them."
When Eleanor waved at him a smiled came back to his face. "You damn right I do! Hey do you do the thing I like in this routine? You know the spinning thing." As he said this he took his finger and twisted it around so she would know what he was talking about.

"Like I said, I'll think about it." Eileen promised. "Right now I just want to enjoy my skating." She gave Eleanor a weak smile then the smile faltered. "That's the problem, I do believe it..." She looked down, biting her lower lip, watching as the fellow redhead skated around her.
As Raiden spoke, Eileen just gave a nod, it was hard though, to stop listening to the ones that spoke to her as they did...She skated away from Eleanor and started gliding across the ice, her form a little wobbly but otherwise alright. She didn't do many 'tricks' so to speak but..she was scared she'd break an ankle, so she simply skated around. If she joined the skating team...well, she was seriously considering it and if they allowed it she could design their performance costumes.
A thoughtful look came onto her face. It was starting to look a little more appealing as she thought of the design aspect. "Eleanor?" She looked at her as she skated past backwards. "Do you guys have anyone to um.." She looked shy a moment. "Design the performance costumes?? I um..I dabble...a little bit in design and...If, I'm just saying..if I join the club, I could design the costumes.."

Eleanor folded her arms and tilted her head, watching Eileen. Then she shrugged, "Well if you believe it then it's true." She skated away from Eileen, back to Raiden. "Yeah!" Eleanor grinned brightly at Raiden, "Lots of spins! Get my phone and turn Shake it off on, would you!" While Raiden fumbled with her phone she looked over at Eileen. She grinned. "No, we don't have any full time designers! It'd be cool if you would!" Once Raiden had her phone set up she slid over to the ice in the middle and stopped in the beginning position. Once the music started she began her routine. |

Raiden had open his mouth to say something but nothing had came but a sigh at Eileen. When Eleanor skated to him and told him there was lots a spins his face lit up with joy. As he started to fumble with her phone he smiled and rocked sided to sided looking for the song. "Found it!" He yelled out after a few minutes later. Raiden waited for her to get into position then hit play on the song. As the music started he watched he watched his girlfriends routine. At the start of it Raiden was already to his feet and smiling.
He was loving the spins but loved watch Eleanor even more. When she was done with her routine he clapped his hands and whistle. "That's my girl! You did great Elle." He said with big grin going across his face.

So they didn't have any designers yet? Eileen shook her head. It wasn't just the skating that was important in a performance, it was the costuming as well. A light smile appeared on the redhead's face and she went to the wall, waiting until Eleanor had finished her routine before she spoke. "Well then, looks like you have yourself a new member of the Ice skating team then..I'll skate and design, if you'll allow it." She said in a semi-lighthearted tone of voice. The smile widened a little bit as she looked at Eleanor, somewhat excited. "I can start designing as soon as people let me know what kind of routines they're going to do for a performance." Her gaze sparkled slightly as she spoke, excited for the prospect of actually being useful to her new team.
