Stepping Stones
{Dea Harrow + Zane Mercer}
.:: 1 ::.
The sixteen-year-old girl hopped from stepping-stone to stepping stone across the crystal clear water. A turtle, which had been sunbaking on a stone, was alarmed and sunk into the water, ripples disturbing the liquid glass.
She was below, in the shallow river than ran through the large modern city.
A bridge was to the side of her, large concrete pillars holding a railway track, swallowed up by two tunnels on either end, underground in the city.
Lily pads and flowers floated on the surface of the tranquil, still water. A bit odd for it to be inside such a vast and modern city.
She stopped, auburn hair swaying slightly in the breeze.
A boy stood on a circular stepping-stone not too far away. He had baggy red, three quarter pants and a blue leather jacket. A messenger bag was slung over one shoulder. He held a fishing rod, one wrist-banded hand stuffed inside a pocket.
But what made her look twice was that his hair was blue. A silky midnight blue.
She smiled slightly, held her hands behind her back and made herself known.
'Hello!'
The boy looked over his shoulder; surprised anyone would be down here on the stepping-stones. It had been so quiet.
'H-Hi.'
'I'm Dea, what's your name?'
He blinked, and then returned a warm smile.
'Zane.'
A yellow metro train rattled past on the bridge.
