"So, throwing rocks is better than staring into a fire!" Morgan replied with a laugh. "You better be careful then, because if you start throwing rocks at me I'll be gone quicker than you can say boo, so your afternoon would've been wasted" she continued nonchalantly,"and you'd be back to staring at fireplaces."
Grinning, she ripped out another blade of grass and stared at it as if it was the most intriguing thing in the world.

"That it is better and that is why I don't do it as much, obviously" Jake said with a grin looking towards the sky for a minute before looking back down towards the grass, "Yes that would ruin my rock throwing completely and I can't have that happening"

Morgan tore her eyes away from the grass blade to look up at Jake. "How ironic - throwing rocks would ruin your rock throwing," she said with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Yeah, ironic" Jake repeated looking towards the lake, he did think it was ironic just he didn't really feel like being enthusiastic about it right then.

Morgan watched Jake pensively as his gaze drifted off across the lake. "Hey Mr. Absentminded, you seem kinda subdued," she said in a questioning tone.

"No, just ... not much to talk about" Jake said as he turned back to Morgan, it was true there wasn't much to talk about but he had slightly gone into a sort of state where he didn't really feel like talking either. But he wouldn't tell this Morgan, he wasn't someone who said things like that.

"Fair enough," Morgan replied, turning her eyes on the lake. She was still fairly sure there was something bothering Jake, but if he wasn't going to talk about it she wouldn't bother him. Pensively, she began playing with grass blades once again.

Jake didn't look at Morgan as he looked across the lake, the dreaded silence that he hated was about to fall amongst the two of them and he couldn't think of anything to say to stop it from happening. It was like he had no control over it where usually he did, usually he could think of something to say, but not today.

The both of them were silent for a while. Many other people were bothered by awkward silences, not Morgan however. She liked silence, especially outside where there were so many other noises that suddenly became apparent - the whispering of the breeze, the soft sound of moving water, other students hanging out and yelling... Taking in all of this, she soon became lost in her own world of thought, forgetting all about Jake sitting next to her.
