Clearing my head (Open)

Caleb walked out of Hogwarts and down to the forest. Caleb really needed to clear his head bad. Caleb has been so stress with a lot of things and he just really needed to get away for a while. Caleb took a seat on the ground and sighed. He wished life could be easier but it wasn't.

Gabrielle began to run. Running away was easier then facing her fears, her feelings, her strong emotions. She just needed to be alone, she just needed to clear her head. Gabrielle began to walk towards the clearing and noticed she was not alone. There was someone sitting on the ground up ahead. She approached.

"Hello?" Gabrielle called out.

All of her life Cassia had been told what to do and it was beginning to irritate her. Being outside seemed to always make her feel better. The smell of trees, the open sky framed with branches, everything about the woods just made her feel free. She simply needed to be alone; to calm down and clear her head. A twig snapped and Cassia spun around to see who, or what, was out there.
"Who's there?" she called.

No one could blame Charlotte for wanting to explore wizarding places. All her life, she thought the Muggle world was the only world. You could say it came as a total shock to just suddenly find out magic existed.

So there she was, walking along a magical forest. It was beautiful and calm and. . . well, it was better than fighting with her brother at home. She looked down, wishing he would just stop being an idiot.

Lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice people moving near her until they started talking. Her head snapped up and she ran away from the tree she was standing against.

"Hello?" she called as she neared the people. She looked around: a boy, older, and two girls around her age.

Caleb looked up and got up. He saw three girls. "Hello, I'm Caleb List by the way, who are you girls and what are you doing around here at night" Caleb asked curious, they looked younger then him but he was still curious on why they were here at night none the less.

They had all arrived in the clearing, almost by... well magic. There were two girls who looked around Cassia's age, and an older boy who introduced himself as Caleb.
"My name's Cassia Lightwood. I suppose we could ask you the same question." she defensively stated. Cassia didn't trust strangers in the Muggle world why should the magical world be any different?

The boy had introduced himself as Caleb and one of the girls was named Cassia. She looked towards the other girl, who was silent. Gabrielle spoke.

"I'm Gabrielle Sands." Gabrielle didn't feel like disclosing her reason why she was out here. While she was a very outgoing person, she didn't talk to people about her very personal life unless she knew the person well.

Cassia, Caleb, Gabrielle. . . Charlotte tried to memorize their names.

"I'm Charlotte. I'm Charlotte Minogue," she introduced herself. When none of the other girls answered the boy's question about being out alone at night, she shrugged.

"Exploring, I guess," she said. It was true, after all.

"What were you looking for? And at this hour?" Cassia asked. She knew it was rude to ask personal questions but her curiosity had gotten the better of her, again.

Charlotte shrugged again, "Nothing specific. Just searching. Getting to know the place."

She raised an eyebrow, "What about you?" She thought it was only fair for the girl to answer her question, seeing as she had answered hers.

"Just trying to get away from it all." Cassia waved it away. She turned to Gabrielle and Caleb "What about you two? What are you doing?"

"I was just trying to clear my head and needed a walk in the fresh air. What about you Caleb?" Gabrielle asked.
