Jimmi walked into Starbucks towards the counter, 'i will have a latte, please.' he said with a slight smile, again in his boxing coat as he has just come from the neighbouring city. The person behind the counter gave him a latte and said, 'That will be $3.10 please.' Jimmi reached into his pocket and gave them the correct money. He smiled and took his latte and sat at a nearby table where he could see people walking in and out of the shop.

--Artemis walked around, and decided to order a coffee. She told the kid behind the counter what she wanted, paid, and went to find a table. She looked around, looking for someone she knew. She didnt' see anyone, but a guy in a boxing jacket caught her eye. She contemplated ignoring him, and going about her business, but was slightly intrigued. She walked over to him, a smile on her face.--
"Hey....I'm Artemis...." she said, her long hair falling into her face. She pushed it away lightly, before extending her hand..."Artemis Saggezza...." she normally would have given her full, very long and complex name, but didnt' really feel like it at the moment....

He drank some of his latte, and was concidering stealing the cup when he had finished, there again he could always just buy one, he does not want to be behind bars like his pa. All of a sudden he heard a female voice, he turned and smiled at her, he shook her hand and said 'hi, Artemis, that is an unusal cool name.' he said smiling, 'I'm Jimmi....Jimmi Conelly.' he said, he did not normally mention his last name, but thought it was polite too since she did.

--Artemis smiled. Most people said that about her name, she was used to it. She took a seat, and looked at him. Jimmi, she'd always liked that name, just something cool about it.--
"If you think thats unusual, you'd be amazed by my full name...." she said, laughing lightly...."Artemis, Isis, Selene, Marie, Saggezza...." she said, sighing....."My parents had odd taste in names."
--She looked at him momentarilly, observing and calculating, as she always did.--
"You box?" she asked suddenly, curiousity in her voice...."Very cool..."

his face pulled a sprized face, 'Woah, that is a big name, cool though.' he said smiling, 'i mean Jimmi is not exactly great is it? It is a boring name, by far.' he said laughing slightly. When she asked if he boxed he smiled, 'Yeah, i love boxing, only trouble is i have to go out of town to box, there is nothing for me here, like a boxing club.' he said with a slight smile. 'I have applied for a society to set up but the principle looked unsure, well we do need a lot of stuff. The ring, gloves, other random shit. Sorry, i am getting carried away - i am sorry.' he said smiling. When Jimmi was placed onto the subject of boxing, he would always get carried away.

--Artemis smiled, and shook her head.--
"I've always liked the name Jimmi. Theres just something about it." she laughed lightly...."A boxing club would be so cool." she said, grinning....."I'll talk to the principal, and see if I can get him to give in."
--Artemis, even before she had officially gone to Fairfield, had pull in the administration. She could get whatever she wanted out of them. She smiled--
"Don't be sorry, its interesting...." she said, thinking....."I've always wanted to learn to box..." she said thoughtfully, staring off into space momentarilly...."How long have you been doing it?"

he laughed, 'i hate it i was thinking about changing it, but at boxing you get a 'title' anyway.' he said laughing slightly, 'cool, tell him it is a controled sport that people do not get hurt in.' he said laughing, 'well depending on how crap they are anyway, i saw these nerds outside the boxing club in the neighbouring city, they were really thin, and i mean thin, and i kinda just smiled but they must of thought i was being stupid, and then they started blabering about milk and strong bones.' he said laughing.
When she asked about how long he had boxed for he said, 'since i was 7 years old, so eleven years.' he said smiling, 'you do any sport?' he askjed her taking another drink of his latte.

--Artemis smiled, and laughed. She had seen those boys before. They also liked to hang around the Shaolin Kung Fu Academy.--
"Sports....." she said slowly....how much detail do I go into??...."Well, lacrosse, field hockey, soccer, football, and archery here and there....." she laughed at herself, realizing how much of a jock she sounded like..."Wow, I really am queen jock...." she said, rolling her eyes

'cool, thats a lot of sport, must keep you fully booked up at evenings then, practising for those.' he said smiling, 'there again i do one sport and i am at the boxing club everyday, i was told i could be the next big thing in boxing if i took a year out, but my folks would not let me drop school.' he said pulling a face and drinking some more of his latte. 'so you been playing those sports for a while?' he asked her.

--Artemis smiled, and nodded.--
"Personally, I'd rather be very busy, than very bored...." she grinned...."Yeah, lacrosse and archery I've been doing since I was......7ish, so like you, 11 years. But football and soccer, i was forced to go out for the team.....duke said I'd make a great addition...." she laughed, rolling her eyes......"What about you? What do you do? Besides boxing, in your free time?" she asked randomly

he laughed and smiled, 'you, must be good then if they need you on the team.' he said laughing. When she asked what he did other than boxing he said first, 'i am not obsessed, just thought i would tell you before, you think im nuts.' he said laughing, 'well, every friday night is match night, and i usually play a few rounds, and i watch the rest of the matches untill around midnight, then get the train home. Monday to thursday i go straight to boxing after school and i get home at 11pm by which time i am ready for bed. On saturday my manager/coach takes me through the good points and bad points of my game on friday, then i stay and try and work on my punches till about 6pm. Then at 8pm i go see my dad, till 10pm then sports channel,usually boxing on then. And on sunday, it is match day again.' he said smiling, 'and the same as friday happens plus practise, so i dont really hve spare time, apart from like this slot before i see my dad.' he said smiling slightly and drinking his latte. 'so how about you?' he asked her.

--Artemis laughed, and shook her head.--
"Oh I dont' think you're crazy, my life is the same way. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only person with no life." she paused for a moment...."Well, after school, from 2-3 is lacrosse practice, 3-5 is football practice, 5-7:30 is field hockey is 7:30 to 9, and soccer, is from 9-10:30." she sighed, and continued...."Football games are sunday night, field hockey games are sunday morning, soccer and lacrosse are saturdays, alternating times. And archery, I get in whenever I can, which isn't often...." she laughed...."So I'm just as busy as you..."

'well, thankgod you dont think i am nuts, my mom thinks im nuts my ex did too, but they are not sports people, so they do not understand.' he said smiling. 'wow, a lot of games, you ever forget the rules?' he asked her smiling, 'i would if i had that many different sports, all though they say women can multi task - i mean that in a positive way.' he said quickly so that she would not take offense.

--Artemis laughed. She did not take offense easily, and to be honest, she was more of a tomboy than a girly girl. She laughed, remembering this one time...--
"It can confuse the hell outta me...." she said, laughing...."I remember once, when I first started playing soccer and football, i catch the soccer ball, and tried to run with it to get a touchdown, and kicked the football, trying to get it into the net....." she snickered...."I got so much flak for that....that didn't last long though...they didn't really like the taste of blood in their mouth....." she snickered

He laughed again, 'i like to watch lacrosse when i am not watching boxing, which is hardly ever,' he said smiling. 'this person i knew, always complained about boxing saying it was a stupid sport, that pissed me off.' he said laughing only a tad, he really was pissed off when people said that, 'I have never tried any other spoet, i do not think ill be good at it.' he said laughing, 'all im good at is punching.' he said laughing. he laughed at the rule change that she did by accident, 'yeah, i bet that could happen.'
