Cars are a guy thing [Grav/Open]

... The little car sitting in the parking lot did NOT sound good. The girl sitting behind the wheel dropped her head, resting her forehead against the steering wheel. Why did these things always have to happen to her? She really didn't want to have to walk home, but she also didn't want to have to ask anyone here for help.

She lifted her head, scanning the yard of the school, her eyes moving over the students. Mutants... It really kind of scared her. She felt like at any moment one of them was going to kill her with their freaky powers. It was only because of the school captain that she had found out what sort of school this was.

Giving her head a shake, she popped the hood from the inside of the car and got out, slamming the driver door shut. She moved in front of the car and opened the hood, letting out a huge amount of smoke like you see in movies. Tara stumbled back, waving her hand in front of her face. "What the hell?!" she yelled, kicking the front of her car and causing it to make another round of freaky clanging noises.

[Grav]

grav sat atop of the stone wall. the short stone wall playing cards. solitare to be exact.

*sputtersputterclankbop!!*

"the hell was that???"

grav shrugged it off. it was getting hot. grav didnt like being warm. he removed his black fitted t shirt. this left him wearing dark jeans and converse with his cards in his hand he continued to play.

*sputtersputterclankbop!!!*

there it was again!!!

"what the hell was that?"

this time it caused grav to drop his cards. he got up and picked them all up. he stood up to see a girl struggling with a car. lots of smoke and all like you see in the movies.

grav decided that since his game was about over and he was bored anyway, why not see if she needed help. he set his cards down on his shirt on the wall and walked over to her without a shirt on.

arriving at the car he talked to the girl with a smile.

"can i help you out? you look a little in over your head."

gravs cajun twain filled the air. he smiled and looked at her with sincerity in his eyes.

"or you know, i can just walk you back to where youre going. and you can get the car fixed later. if you want of course. i dont want to intrude"

"can i help you out? you look a little in over your head."

Tara nearly jumped out of her skin when the voice caught her off guard. After catching herself, her heart beating out of her chest, she put her hands on her hips and turned annoyed eyes to him. "I could use all the help I can get... Hi there..." Her eyes moved over his bare chest as she took him in, her annoyed expression turning to an interested smile.

"or you know, i can just walk you back to where youre going. and you can get the car fixed later. if you want of course. i dont want to intrude"

Tara considered him for a moment. The thought that he might be able to kill her with his mind kept popping back up, making her rethink whether to take him up on that offer... But she also didn't want to offend him. "I live pretty far from here. Hence the car..." She gestured to the piece of junk and gave a sad laugh. "Wouldn't mind some company though while I wait for my mom to get off work... Unless you know how to fix it?"

Maybe Jedi mind powers and super human abilities could fix cars. She didn't know.

[Grav]

grav looked at her and then the car and smiled in an embarressed sort of way. he diidnt know anything about cars. he was more into the less dirty work. wasnt one to be known as a grease monkey. even though his shirt was removed. but it was a hot day. so it made sense.

he simply said

"well im not a proffesional so i think i should just wait with you, besides it makes it easier to get to know eachother without distractions"

yes grav was hitting on her but hey, she was pretty so why not. its not like grav had a girlfrend.

" my name is grav whats yours?"
