Cara looked at Drake and blushed that shade of red that was thought only possible of a Weasley. Her eyes wide and her expression was of shock and fright she said, "I, umm, well, I mean, if you think. Then I mean, I was sort've. I just, I-I-I-I-I guess." Cara breathed and closed her eyes. "Yes, I do consider you my friend. Like my only friend." she said.

Drake smiled at her, not his cold smile but a grateful smile. He gently lifted her eyelids with his fingers. "Good, then we are friends. I don't have any friends either. So I guess will be each others friend and only friend until one of us gets another friend. I bet it'll be you first, you're so much nicer than I am." he said, laughing.

Cara looked at him and smiled back half laughing, "I guess thats settled then. People don't like me cause I apoligize to much and cause I'm not very forward. I'm very, shy." she said. Cara's blush dropped a notch, or three. Back to a pretty pale pink only on her cheeks. "I doubt it, I haven't ever had a friend. Unless you count parents. And they aren't really my friends either." she added. She looked back at her feet and smiled at her bright green converse. The checks on her skirt were swirling together confusing her.

Drake looked at her shoes too. "I really like your shoes. I haven't gotten new shoes in a while..." he said, looking at his own converse, which were black with several worn out places in them. They were so bad that his socks would sometimes stick out from the sides. Drake had to cut off where the end of the shoes had been and charmed them to grow to fit. "My parents aren't the most responcible people in the world. I normally get home and find them in opposite sides of the house on a couch with an empty beer glass in their hand and passed out. Then I have to drag them to bed and clean up. I tell you, its like caring for two 4 year olds." he said, shaking his head and she stuck his finger in a hole in his shoe.

Cara blinked, "Oh, thanks. Yours have... Character. Which is a good thing. I could fix them you know? I haven't gotten new ones in years I just fix them when they need it." she said looking at his. She forgot which shoes she was wearing, "Besides these are sort've new. Well I mean I got these most recently. My step-mother of the summer is always like, "lets buy you shoes!" I still have my first pair of vans." she added. Taking care of four year olds didn't sound like fun to her. "I don't know what its like taking care of four year olds. My dad is never married long enough to have another child. And my mother is like, "I hate children, I hate teenagers, I hate you." So I don't know how to help you there." she said after a moment or two.

Drake's heart twisted as she finished. Her words stuck in her head- I hate you?! My mother doesn't hate me, she just has severe problems and gets rid of them by drinking. he thought. He pulled her into a hug, "Cara, I don't see how anyone could hate you. You are much too kind." he said, wanting to kiss her forehead again. He held back, blushing as he depized his weak thoughts. "Did you say you could fix them? Their horrible in the winter, the snow gets in my shoes and I always end up in the hosiptal wing with blue toes." he said, laughing a little.

Cara's breath intake was sharp as he took her into a hug. She didn't let it out until he let go of her. She had that feeling her toes again. "Yeah I can fix them. Would you like a change of color? I can't do blue though..." she said taking out her wand from her bag. She looked at the shoes and whispered the incantation, "amiage repairo" and tada they were fixed. She smiled at him. "Blue toes are no longer a problem." she added.

Drake shook his head. "No, the black is fine." he said, looking down as the holes in his shoes were fixed. "Well you made that seem simple...I guess I just never thought about it." he told her. "Why can't more people be like you?" he asked her honestly, looking back at her.

"I've been through a few pairs of shoes." Cara said. She looked back at her feet. When he asked why more people could be like her she looked up into his eyes and said, "Because, nobody likes me. Making it that nobody wants to be like me so they aren't."

Drake, who already felt like Cara knew him better than his own parents or sister, took her hand and kissed it. "Hello, I'm Nobody! I like you and I want to be more like you." he said and grinned, standing straight up again. "I want you to know how glad I am I ran into you...or that that girl ran into you. Whatever." he said, laughing.

Cara's breath stopped when he took her hand and complimented her. She didn't believe what he said but decided not to say anything about it. "Thanks. But you're one of one. I guess I'm glad to. If I hadn't gotten the idiotic idea to practice out here I wouldn't have met you." she said. Cara looked up at him and sighed. It hit her suddenly that she had made a friend. For the first time in her life. She had made a friend.

Drake sighed. "It wasn't idiotic, Cara. Its amazing out here, really quite inspirational." he said, gesturing to the lake and surrounding area. I wonder what Kerrie would think about me actually having a friend. he thought, smiling at Cara. "I still can't believe you want to be friends with me." he said.

"Yeah it was, I inconvienced several people!" Cara said with a slight quiver in her voice. "It was stupid cause it was my idea." she said queitly. Cara looked out at the lake and tried to remember her dad's old house. The one with the swan pond. She loved that place. The swans were always so graceful. So perfect. So unlike her.

Drake took her hands in his and looked her in the eyes, hearing the slight quiver in her voice. "Cara, if anyone was inconvienced by your beautiful playing than they need hearing aids." he told her, smiling reassuringly. "So far, your ideas have out-done mine. And, according to you, I'm perfect. So your ideas must be better than perfect." he said, grinning. He followed her gaze to the lake and grinned.

Cara breathed in then out, she was having to remind herself to breathe. She half laughed and kept looking at the lake before turning and saying, "I messed up on an extremely easy song! Besides you are perfect, but that doesn't make my ideas perfect." She looked back at the lake and smiled.
