Eva sighs, slumping down more on the bench as she stares at the clock. Her dark brown hair flowing down and resting on her shoulders the more she slumps. Her legs stretching out more, lifting one of them up and gently relaxing it on her other leg. She reached back, grabbing on her black shirt and pulling it down over her jean shorts which fit loosely on her. She acted like she was sitting alone, in total silence. But instead, she was in a noise filled hallway of her school.

The young woman was confident, the young man nervous.  She, tall, red-haired and freckled in a crop top, jeans, and sandals with a duffel bag over her shoulder; he, a tanned brunet, in deep blue swim pants, being lead along by her by a long leash connected to a collar.  They did, naturally, draw attention from others in the park, if not when they appeared than when they stopped, in the middle of the widest expanse of grass.

The hissing started out quiet. At first, Lynn didn’t even notice, as she was lost in her book. However, as her stomach gave a loud gurgle, she felt some sort of… gas push into her abdomen. With a free hand, she rubbed her stomach, feeling her skin stretch. “What…” She murmured to herself, sitting upright from the couch. She set the book down, placing both hands on her stomach.
