I've Got Friends in Highly Low Places (rapture)

The music room, or as Ashley liked to call it, his home away from home, was where Ashley found himself on this dreadfully boring day. He hid out in one of the cubbies that were built to hold instruments with his iPod. He occasionally jumped out while people walked inside and were about to start practicing, or he would stand there and listen, depending on how talented they were. Until he found himself dosing slightly to the sound of We Are Birds by Brighten, although Ashley tried to act like a badass all the time, he was quite the softy especially when it came to his music.
His dreams danced around in his head as his headphones boomed into his ears. Suddenly a heavier song rang loudly through his ears, startled, he jumped awake, hitting his head on the top of the short cubby, Ashley rolled out of the curtain into the floor of the music studio. Ashley ended up sprawled out across the floor of the studio face to, well, feet with a nicer pair of shoes, slowing letting his gaze wander upward he hoped he hadn't embarrassed himself in front of a professor. Finally he saw her face, nope, it was worse, it was a student, a girl that had to be around his age.
Ashley hustled to his feet and extended his hand, "I'm sorry about that, I'm Ashley," he said in his clear Australian accent. He smiled widely at the girl with a small laugh at his now seemingly idiotic actions.

Rapture had left her apartment early in the morning just as the sun was rising, of course, because she wanted to get more of a feel for Paris. She had explored and had found some good places to hide if she wanted to be alone, Rapture didn't know what the time was but she was sure it was well into the day now. Walking into the academy she poked around before she made her way to the music studio to look around some more in there, wandering around the room calmly she tucked some of her hair behind her ears comfortably.

Hearing a thump come from one of the cubbies that was meant to hold instruments Rapture inched closer to it just as a boy came tumbling out, looking down at him sprawled on the floor she grinned at him. Watching as he got to his feet putting her hand in his she shook his hand slightly before taking her hand back, she had to admit he had a nice accent. "You have an odd name, Ashley" Rapture said with a soft laugh her english accent was soft and gentle, watching Ashley she continued to grin.

"Well, I guess it would only be polite if I gave you my name as well. I'm Rapture" she said seeming a little distracted as she spoke, she had been accused a few times of being on drugs by people around the academy but Rapture didn't care. She didn't do drugs even though she knew people who did them regularly, giving a small laugh Rapture pushed her hands into her jeans pockets comfortably as she waited for Ashely to say anything interesting that would keep her entertainment.

Ashley smiled widely, "You can call me Ash if you'd like." He liked her sweet and calm demeanor, the total opposite of Ashley. he laughed lightly at the girl, who he stood significantly taller than, "Rapture," he paused for a moment as if he was contemplating the meaning of her name, "I don't think you have a lot of room to talk about odd names." He said before he realized how rude that may have come off, he had a tendency to insult people by not being able to keep his mouth shut, he eyes widened, "Oh, I'm sorry if that came off badly, I didn't mean it like that." His face grew red, "It's an interesting name." He smiled awkwardly trying to think of something else to say.
He then realized that he had no idea how long Rapture had been in there, or how embarrassed he should be about what she walked in on, he smiled, "so, how much of that did you see?" He said pointing at the now empty cubby that he had been sleeping in.
He again flashed a goofy smiled in the girl's direction again. He shoved his hands in his pockets, he had heard of the name Rapture, she was rumored to be into drugs, but Ashley didn't pay much attention to rumors in this school. This place seemed to be richer in rumors than people, and it wasn't necessarily this Rapture, and she definitely didn't seem like the type of girl that would be interested in that type of life.
