Danielle had actually stepped foot into the fitness center. She used to go a lot in her spare time, but then she got really busy. Now she's in Mexie, and anything goes. Plus, this place looked amazing so she really wanted to attempt to work out.
The girl paid the middle aged woman at the front desk for an hours worth at the gym, and headed into the changeroom. The changing rooms themselves were amazing, and she was super excited to seethe actualy gym. She found an empty locker, and got changed into some gym appropriate clothes. That would be black spandex booty shorts, and a tight white tank top. Well, you have to be comfortable when working out, right?
The girl put her hair into a messy ponytail, leaving a few strands of blonde hanging down near her ears. As she made her way out of the room, and towards the gym she made a stop for a bottle of water. She really did need to drink more water.
Finally, she entered the gym doors. It was huge. Super huge. The girl entered and smiled randomly at a few people, before hopping onto a treadmill. This treadmill was amazingly confusing. She pressed a few buttons in attempt to make it go, but it didn't seem to move.

And so there he was, for the first time in a week, working out. Well, we use that term loosely, because Oliver had lifted weights for about ten minutes before moving onto the treadmill. Because, who's he kidding, he loves running. Usually, he'd go for a run on a trail or at a park or the beach, but he wanted to give this state-of-the-art facility a go. Today's workout attire consisted of a pair of white athletic shorts and a navy blue band tee with some huge-ass graphic winding around his left side. Oh, the fashions of the day.
Enter Shikari's "Return to Energiser" was blaring through the white ear buds he sported - connected to the blue iPod nano in his pocket, of course. He was at a jogging pace, there was no power-walking or strolling here. Oliver Young didn't half-ass anything. Except for lifting weights, of course.
He was temporarily distracted from his passion in life when an attractive young woman mounted a treadmill to his right. Man, now he remembered why he had REALLY come to the gym... to check out the fit birds in spandex. Oh yes, thank God for the gym. That charming boyish grin of his spread it's way across his lips as he watched her fumble with the machine. "It's a bit of a trick, this one," he explained, reaching over to switch on the power, then gesturing towards a couple of controls, "Here's where you adjust the speed, and the incline's here. Time's over there."
Looking at her, he paused his machine for a moment, slowing down to a walk, then a full stop. "Name's Oliver," he introduced himself in that thick Southern British accent of his.

The blonde girl was starting to get pretty mad at the stupid machine. She had some sort of a feeling that the switches were really simple, and she was just too stupid to realize it. She sighed loudly, as she attemped for a couple minutes longer, before giving up, and throwing her head back in dissapointment.
In the corner of her eye, Daniella saw a boy, an attractive boy, step up to the treadmill next to her. He reached over and showed her how to use to stupid thing. Wow, it was so simple. "Oh..} She said, with a small laugh. "Im officially stupid. She said, smiling widely up at the newcomer. "In other words, my name's Daniella, danielle, dani, stupidface.. whatever." She said with yet another giggle.
She listened to the boy speak. British accents were so awesome. She loved listening to people with accents speak. "I loveee your accent!" She exclaimed, with a small smirk. Her accent was nothing special. Just a small southern one, which you could hear every now and then.

"It's no problem, happens more often than you'd think," Oliver explained with an understanding grin. Giving her the good once-over, he decided this chick was definitely a fit one, despite her seemingly ditsy side. "Name's Oliver, Ollie, Olive, whatever. It's a pleasure, Dani," he introduced himself with a nod. Of course she loved the accent. What girl had he met outside of the UK that didn't? Exactly.
He chuckled, nodding again, "Thanks. I'm from Essex."
Though he planned on continuing their conversation, he wanted to complete the duration of the 40 minutes he'd set on the treadmill. Switching it off of pause, he began jogging again, his music down to a whisper so he could hear Dani over it.

Daniella listened to the boy speak for a second, and smiled back at him. With her, it did happen a lot of the time. It's not like she could help it or anything, right.
When Oliver introduced himself the same way she did, she let another giggle. "Olive.." She said, still laughing. For some reason she found that funny. "Man. I think olives are disgusting." She declared. Her mom ate them all the time, and just the smell of them made her want to vomit. "Im not saying your disgusting.. Your a boy. Olives are.. vegetables?" She said, as she set the pace on the treadmill to a light jog. What the heck were olives anyways.
"Essex.." She repeated. That too, made her laugh. "Aha..esSEX." She said, emphasizing the last part. Wow, she was really easily amused. It was true. If somebody said something stupid, she'd laugh. The thing that really got her laughing is when people fell randomly. When they were okay, of course.

Shrugging nonchalantly, he smiled, "Well, no one really calls me Olive," he explained to the gorgeous airhead beside him, "Besides Coop," he added in afterthought. Ollie chuckled at her musings. "Uhh... I think it's a fruit," he informed her with a nod. Not that he was some olive expert, but they grew on trees, which makes them a fruit.
She seemed to thoroughly enjoy the name of his birthplace, too. "Yeah, EsSEX," he repeated with a grin. Believe it or not, he'd never actually thought of it like that. Leave it to an American, right?

Daniella increased the speed, until she was basically at a slow run. She was nodding and listening to the boy next to her as she ran. "If i could be a fruit..I'd be.. She said, thinking about that for a moment. Well it's not like any of them had arms or legs.. or any body parts at that. "Maybe a strawberry. She said, realling hoping it was a fruit. " 'Cause they're delicious. She said with a lick of her lips. Oh, how she loved fruit. Well.. when she knew it was fruit.
She listened to him speak again. "Yeah, I'll pretend I know who Coop is. She said with a few quick nods, and a girlish giggle. She tryed to keep at the same pace, although it was getting quite tiring and her breathing was becoming slightly heavier.
Dani laughed as Oliver repeated the girl's amazing discovery. "Clever, eh. She said, flashing him an intriguing look. That was probably the only clever thing she's said today. "I promise. Im smarter then I sound..and look." She said with a light chuckle. She always got good grades at school.. it just took some times to explain a lot of things to her.

Let's just say it's a good thing this girl's a looker, because her personality -or, rather, IQ- leaves something to be desired. But it was almost cute, Hey, if you can't beat 'em - join 'em. "If you're going to be a strawberry, I'll be an... olive." Grinning, he picked up the pace on his treadmill, opening his UnderArmor water bottle and taking a sip. Gotta stay hydrated, right?
"Coop's a friend of a friend. D'you know Daylin Connors?" he questioned. Who didn't know Daylin? Honestly. DC was one of those people who just made their presence known. To absolutely everyone. He chuckled at her next statement. Smarter? Right. "I believe you," he lied. Hey, it was a white lie. He didn't want her to feel bad for being a bit of a ditz.
