Buffy slipped out of her Silver Land Rover with an unnoticed sigh as she looked about the campus. She'd just returned from her Saturday morning drive to Starbucks for her Vanilla Frap, and it still seemed like half of the school was asleep. But she didn't mind, she preferred to be alone on most days, then she didn't have to worry about being reminded of a certain someone. Gah, she did it again; thought about him without meaning to. It was much harder than she'd thought it'd be. Giving a shrug she locked her car and headed to the greenhouse, figuring no one would be there this early. Her wardrobe choice was a simple one for comfort, and one that she'd gotten put together without much thought. But even the plainest things could turn out to look fabulous. Like her long sleeve, off the shoulder black and white striped tops, with her rolled light wash capris, and her blue converse low-tops. And just to add some of her own flair, she put on a pair of cherry earrings, a gold necklace and was carrying her Chanel tote and wore a pair of Louis Vuitton turquoise sunglasses. These were items she'd thrown together just for her simple attire for Starbucks and a little chill-axing time for herself. Buffy's blonde hair had the 'beach look' to it, due to her neglect of straightening it that morning, but she much preferred to look like she didn't try to hard for this look...and she hadn't. A smile spread across her soft lips as she slipped into the greenhouse and looked about, finally glad to be away from everyone. Looking at the different plants reminded her of her own garden she'd grown as a child, mostly of flowers, and it made her feel at home. That's why she could often be found in the greenhouse when she wasn't in her dorm, or doing an activity. Buffy sipped her frap as she took a seat on the ground -not caring if she got dirt on her jeans- and looked at the different plants around; finally able to be calm and not be reminded of painful things. But it was because she did things like this; hid away and didn't show her emotions publicly, that people thought she was a cruel heartless bitch, and she really wasn't. She just didn't show her emotions well in public...it just wasn't her style. Absentmindedly she began to hum one of her favorite songs, her eyes closed as she rested her head back against the wall and her arm resting on one of her knees that she'd bent up close to her. Since You Been Gone was the tune that drifted off her lips with ease, not even having to think about the song as she began to speak the words out; starting in a whisper and getting a little louder as she went on.

How in the world he got the gig handling the greenhouse was utterly pointless for him to think about at the moment as he entered through the back and looked for the hose. The teacher probably had the same pointless idea as all the other teachers often had about him. Hayden was a responsible young man that would gladly give up a section of sleep to come out and water plants. WRONG! He rather be bundled in his dorm room at the moment under his covers not being bother by a single soul on the planet earth. He, however, surcomed to the will of the teachers and was out and about attempting to water plants.
Hayden had never tended to a garden. His father, ironically, once tried to teach him to do so, but he became easily bored and went to play or do some other meaningless task of labor, such as mowing the lawn, something he was actually quite fond of but never had to worry about at Hayden Academy. There was usually a layer or two of fresh snow on the ground and he didn't think there would be a spec of grass during the school year. He supposed that he'd just have to wait until he returned to his home in Missouri to get a taste of humidity and grass.
The cold rarely fazed Hayden, unless it was early and his natural heating devices seemed to be just kicking in. He let out a giant yelp into the silent greenhouse as he was sprayed in the face with ice cold water. He realized after this shocking awakening, that he could hear someone humming. He turned the hose off and went looking for the source of the music. He recognized the tune from the radio and his mother's selective branch of music. It was a song by Kelly Clarkson, if he remember correctly, but it was also possible that someone else sang it before her, that was the problem with those people from American idol, you never knew if it was their song or not.
His eyes caught Buffy through the plants. He was caught for a moment, examining her and trying to pin point a name and where he'd seen the face before, he preferred not to approach someone without knowing their name or else there wasn't much to talk about, he was a bit shy that way. He realized quickly that she was with the Blue-bloods, much like himself, but he never spoke that much, and was pretty much just a handsome face with a brain. He debated what to say for a few moments and then walked over slowly.
"Hey." He called trying to see if she had headphones on, if so, she probably couldn't hear him at all, but if that was the case then he'd most likely scurry off until she found him later on in her walk in the green house.
NOTES I know! XD This should be interesting since Hayden is so much different then Bane,

Buffy had just started on the chorus a second time when she jumped lightly at the sound of someone's voice. Her eyes flashed opened as she glanced about for the origin of the voice, and managed a smile when she spotted Hayden. Though they hadn't talked much, Buffy was one of those people who took note of who the other people in her clique were, and Hayden happened to be one of the blue-bloods. "Oh, hi Hayden." She said in a rather light voice. She imagined it must have seemed odd that one of the blue-bloods would be sitting on the dirty floor in the green house, singing a very lame song. But she managed not to blush, and found no reason why she should move herself from the ground. Buffy was rather comfortable, and didn't want to seem like she was frustrated fro him being there. She really didn't mind having someone around, though she did like being on her own most days. She gave a soft smile as she raised a brow. "So, you got stuck with the green house this time?" Buffy had never been in charge of it, but she did tend to take care of it a little bit while she was in there. The last time she'd been in there she watered everything, and even clipped some of the plants down some. After taking a sip of her frap she looked about, pushing some hair from her face and looking to Hayden. Normally after someone had caught her singing she either hurried off, or just didn't speak to them. But being that he was part of her clique she knew she couldn't do the latter without being rude, and it was too early for her to go and hurry off. She actually didn't mind today, she was pretty lax about it; though she couldn't help but think that she wouldn't be singing in the green house without checking if anyone was in it anymore. Felling that she should say something, she stood and picked up one of the water pails and stepped toward a plant. "Do you like watering the plants, or is it just a task the teachers gave you?" She asked, genuinely curious as to what his answer would be. She herself loved plants, and spent much of her time in the green house, but that was something she kept of the D.L. Her mother used to tease her about having a green thumb, but on the thought of her mother she paused. Will used to help her with her garden on the weekends; this thought made her frown as she set the water pail down and shook her head. She didn't even consider how odd it must have seemed for her to be switching her moods in front of people; one moment she was fine, the next she was a little down. But what girl wouldn't be after what she'd gone through? And it wasn't as though people didn't know about, she imagined that pretty much everyone she knew, knew what happened. Buffy gave a light sigh, then remembered that Hayden was there and gave a soft laugh as she walked about the plants, smelling the different flowers that she passed, trying to ignore her down mood.

He carefully considered what she said to him before he would reply. He looked at the plants with a bit of disdain. He wasn't very good at gardening, his patience wasn't so great. He could water them all right though, he didn't mind it too much. It was just a scheduled task that was sort of a thorn in the side. He shrugged slightly, "I sorta got stuck with it, I don't mind too much though." He dismissed her mood change. He didn't want to know, dismissed it as a girl thing. He often did that not to get hit with a purse or other unmentionable things. "Do you like gardening?" He asked almost sweetly, genuinely curious. "I mean, it's kinda early to just be hanging out in the green house if you don't a. like gardening, or b., my case, you've got an assigned task." He brushed from water from his forehead back through his hair.
He'd try to keep a light conversation but he wouldn't push it if she didn't want to talk. He wasn't much of a talker himself, he'd had multiple conversations where his actions were just nodding, saying okay, and shrugging and somehow, they'd cracked the code of Hayden.

At his reply she couldn't help but give an amused smile; at least he was being honest. She let her fingers gently touch the petals of a blooming flower and thought about her reply. The softness that the petals offered always made her smile and feel more comfortable. Even if it was just a plant, it was such a welcoming and calming feeling. "I see I'm caught now, I can't lie about why I'm out here." She replied with a smile as she faced Hayden and nodded. "I've had a thing for gardening since I was about eleven. And it just kinda stuck with me, so whenever I'm not busy or doing anything, I come out here and water the plants or just take in the many different smells the green house has to offer." Most people only used the green house for shelter while they make-out, but she actually came there for the plants....and could only admit to once being in there for a make-out session. But she wasn't about to share that with anyone, that was something she planned on taking to her grave. She took yet sip from her frap before setting it down and picking up a small set of gardening shears. With a skilled and unmoving hand she began to snip away some unneeded branches from a smallish tree.
It wasn't just how she moved, but the look on her face that showed she not only knew what she was doing, but she actually cared. Not many people cared for plants, but she had to admit she was one of the people who did. Though it wasn't something she spoke about to everyone, only the rare people she did trust, and the few people that found her in there setting against a wall. Most of the time she either had something with her while she was in there; cell phone, iPod, home work. But on Saturdays it was when she went in there for a little quiet time and some gardening. This was the first time she'd been in there while someone was taking care of the garden, since she usually waited until they were finished. And since she hadn't seen Hayden in there today, she figured everything was taken care of. But she wasn't opposed to having a little company, and though she wouldn't admit it if asked publicly, she rather liked Hayden's company.

Hayden shifted around as he nodded watching the plants and lightly watering a few. "My dad used to garden, but I never got into it myself... I'm much too... short attention spanned, I suppose." He smiled to that. His brother was usually the one that would be blamed for attention problems. He threw that one to the back of his mind as quickly as it had come to the mental front. He didn't want to think about his brother, he knew that the moment he did, something would come up about his family and he'd have to talk about him and try to make him sound normal when in truth the entire family had some sort of medication, including himself, which happened to be prozac. He kept himself very well contained and he wasn't about to mess that up.
"It's interesting, I never thought of you as a gardener, but of course, you can't always judge a book by it's cover." He shrugged, "Some people have green thumbs and can handle gardening, and then you have people like me, with gray thumbs from studying and wiping my hand across graphite in drawings." He smiled to that especially, quite proud that he was capable of doing art, even if he wasn't able to make a plant grow very well. He could plant them, and he could water them, but he was a gardening disaster. Somehow, though, that was okay with him, the plants here were already grown and his skills were not needed to help them grow. That was good.
"Yeah, it strikes me sorta odd that anyone would be out here early... unless they were with someone else... sort of why I came out here early, didn't want to have to hose people down." He joked lightly. He knew teenagers, and when they got going, it always seemed they didn't want to stop until someone interrupted them.

Buffy nodded as he spoke about his father being the one to garden. Her father had never been home long enough to try his hand at gardening, but Buffy decided that long ago he was much better off in an office or in court. Her mother liked to mess with a garden in her spare time. But Buffy was never close to her mom; being that her mother had a popular website that usually stared Buffy in many of it's topics. But what else would you expect from her? Joice was the perfect example of a very bored wealthy woman. But though she annoyed the hell out of Buffy, she still spoke to her; and often. Buffy was brought back to reality when Hayden spoke, and she couldn't help but laugh at his comment. "That's not surprisng to me, most people think my talents range from cheerleading, to photography, and -" She stopped, knowing that the next thing she was about to say wasn't something she shared openly....since only very few people know it. She blushed lightly, then nodded. "Yeah, some people are gardeners, while others are artist." Buffy said iwth anod then raised a brow. "What's your favorite type of art?" She asked, knowing that most people preferred paintings, while others preferred drawings, then people like her parents who liked statues. She herself liked photography, but probably because it was the only thing she actually understood more than the few sports she was in. Buffy laughed at his last comment, thinking about how once she came in here and then left ebacuse a couple was in there. "That would be intertaining; hosing some unsuspecting teens while they're going at it."

Hayden kept a smile while she was talking to him. Buffy seemed like a nice girl, and he got along with pretty much everyone so conversations were easy, occasionally, other times it was like pulling teeth with him. Hayden was a little introvert, well, he wasn't so little anymore but he still kept mostly in his head while thinking. There were actually people in this world that didn't understand that, of course, he didn't understand people that had to talk things out, often it frustrated him, particularly because his entire family at home was that way. Hayden was quite the little abnormally. He nodded as she listed her talents and didn't pry when the stopped after and, there were things in this world that bugged him about people that stopped abruptly in their sentences, but he'd been told enough crazy things in his life to not be curious enough to ask.
His mind registered the question. "O-oh, I uh, I draw mostly, not a very good painter, and don't really care for sculpting." He smiled lightly. If there was one thing in this world that Hayden enjoyed, it was drawing, mostly people, he tended to avoid drawing people he knew or living people. He liked to avoid the possibility of someone not liking what they see.
He then smiled when she went on to talk about the hosing of other unsuspecting teens. "They certainly would never see it coming." He chuckled lightly. "ah, I'm jerk sometimes." He finished his little chuckle and openly poked fun at his own personality. He figured if you couldn't laugh at yourself and your own behavior then you couldn't laugh at anyone, hell he even made fun himself when he was pudgy and not quite the man he was today. It was rather easy, however, most people now frowned upon him teasing his looks so instead his behavior became his joke pit.
"but hey, it's pretty outside." He looked towards the door, sure it was a bit cold but Hayden kept his dorm at 60 degrees through out the year, often saving the school on heating bills for his dorm or running the electricity up during the warmer months. "They can go outside and get some" He joked. He found himself very naturally finding a funny mood this morning. Probably because there were still rational parts of his brain that weren't quite awake just yet and there wasn't a lot he could do about that besides joke around and wait for the remaining blood that had been partially at rest while he was sleeping to get back to his brain and kick start this morning. He looked about and then looked up.
"Heh, they could probably get a sprinkler system in here and save some time and money with the plants, I mean, there would still be reasons to come in and take care of them, but routing up a system couldn't be that hard." he blamed his exposure to some engineering for his own thoughts. "of course, then someone as kind as me would miss the fun of hosing people down."

Buffy smiled when he said he drew. Drawing was something she'd always loved watching people do, though she wasn't that gifted with it herself. Her talents went more toward sports and photography. "Drawing's really cool.... though I can hardly draw a straight line." She said with a laugh, shaking her head gently as she set down the gardening shears and ran her fingers over the leaves with a smile. Something about being around plants seemed to make her more comfortable.....that, or that fact that she was comfortable around Hayden. Either way, she was glad to be able to talk to someone without worrying about anything.
She couldn't help but laugh at his comment. "You're not a jerk. I'm sure that's what anyone would do...I know I'd hose some teens down if I was watering plants and found them in here." She said with a nod, knowing that she honestly would too. From what she knew about him-which wasn't much- Hayden didn't seem like a jerk. He was fun to be around, and laughing was something that came easily to Buffy when she was comfortable around someone. She nodded as she looked to one of the windows and nodded. It was nice outside, though she preferred to be in the green house simply because most people stayed out of there...unless they were a couple.
She looked around the green house at his comment and shook her head. "They probably think that making someone water the plants not only saves them money, but helps build the character of the person." She said with a laugh, knowing that Hayden Academy wasn't a cheap school, but they didn't throw their money tat things they didn't want. Besides, she liked to think that they made the student's take care of the green house to give them some responsibility.

Hayden often forgot that he wasn't in a public school with little government funding accounts that were necessary for it to stay a float. He wasn't nearly as rich as anyone from the academy, but he was smart enough to be there. He felt almost embarrassed that he thought of money issues but he covered it smoothly. He just chuckled a bit. "True, lots of us need that character building." He hit his chest rather manly. He was joking, of course, he was in one of those moods.
"Some more then others." he smiled and then heard the door open. He didn't know who they were, but it was obviously a couple, whispering back and forth. He rubbed his hands together almost maniacally as he went back over and grabbed the hose, shooting a wink to Buffy before he snuck around the ferns and sprayed the teenagers then hiding. It was a mix of cursing and yelling, when they looked and found no one, they did what anyone would do, flipped out and left.
Hayden waited for the greenhouse door to slam before he started to chuckle. "sometimes, things like that are just too easy." He shook his head, smiling like he'd just won a regional football game.
