The Birthday Party

"Cale, wake up! It's your birthday!"

Cale lifted his head off his pillow and gave his mother a very confused look. Did she honestly not know that his birthday had been two months ago? It seemed that way. She was standing there at the foot of his bed, holding a tray with 3 pancakes stacked one on top of the other, beaming at him. He glanced at the clock very quickly--it was 7:30 AM.

"Mum, are you off your rocker? My birthday was October 23rd, and it's..."

"December 23rd," his mother said, placing the tray on the edge of the bed. "It's the first time you haven't been home on your birthday, and I figured, we could celebrate it now while you're home from break!"

He just blinked up at her. She really was off her rocker. "Mum, you don't need to have a celebration for me. Really, you don't," he told her.

"Oh, don't be silly, you're sixteen now! It's not everyday my little boy turns sixteen!"

Groaning, he buried his face in his pillow. Thank goodness Shel and the other guys weren't there to witness this embarrassing conversation. "We've been over this...I'm a man now, remember!"

Ignoring her son's comment, she headed towards the door, leaving his breakfast on the edge of the bed. "Now, hurry up. Theresa and Ellie got your presents out and Ezra is making you a cake. I expect you downstairs in ten minutes!"

After she left and closed the door, he pulled the covers over his head. He was very tempted to go downstairs just for the presents, but his mother had said that Ezra was making his cake, and that could never be good.

*****

Two hours later, Cale had not only fallen back asleep, but also knocked the tray of his breakfast on the floor with his foot in his sleep. The noise of the crash was not what had woken him up, however. It was something entirely more annoying.

"Hey! Prefect! Get up, Mum says we don't have all day!"

Groaning yet again, he lifted his head off his pillow to find a very startling sight--Ezra in an apron with oven mitts. Glaring at her, he pulled the covers over his head. "I have a name you know. And for Merlin's sake, call her Beth. She's not your mum."

He could practically feel her roll her eyes at him as she yanked the covers off of him with surprising force. "Fine. BETH says to get your butt out of bed NOW. Trust me, it's not like I want to celebrate Mr. Perfect Prefect's birthday. I had a real party to go to today."

"Oh no, I ruined your day. I feel just terrible," he mumbled sarcastically, finally getting up off the bed.

"Whatever. Just get downstairs and open your stupid presents. Maybe I'll actually have time to go to my party if we get this thing over with quickly," she said. As she went to walk out the door, she glanced at mess of breakfast that was on his floor. "Don't forget to clean up your mess!" she added cheerfully as she left.

"You know, you could be nice for a change and do it for the birthday boy," he told her with a scowl.

She stopped and turned on her heel, looking back at him with a shocked look upon her face. After a moment or two of silence, she burst into laughter. "Thanks Mr. Perfect Prefect, that actually made me feel a lot better!"

And with that, she slammed the door with such force, a few of his pictures fell off the wall.

*****

His Mom is soooo funny! Having a birthday party two months later. And she even made him pancakes! Oh noes! Ezra baking a cake - FOR CALE?! That's gotta be dangerous! I love the way he says that he's a man now! That's SO Cale! And Ezra - Just when I thought she MAY be baking him a cake just to be nice, she goes completely nuts on him in the second part! Anna Greingoth: *glares at her*

And awwww! He wrote Anna back! I can't wait for Flying Class and Hogsmeade!

His mom is crazy Cale doesn't like parties He liked Anna's present better than anything he got, even better than the shoes

Ezra was just being Ezra She's NEVER nice to him

*****
The Breakup

Cale was ecstatic.

When he had headed out to Reese's house for a small party, he had been expecting to see one of his closest friends, and then be ignored by a bunch of Slytherin girls he didn't know. But that didn't turn out to be the case at all. Not only was he reunited with Reese, but also with Anna and Cora. At the same time.

This obviously led to some problems. But let's start at the beginning.

Josh Monsoon had also shown up. Cale didn't have a problem with Josh, he really didn't--until he started flirting with Anna. Or maybe he wasn't flirting, it was kind of hard for Cale to tell. He had kind of flipped out and went into that egotistically jerk mode, and pulled Anna off the dance floor. Right out of Josh's arms. This lead to one of their fighting matches again, only this time it didn't end so bad.

They ended up spilling their inner most feelings to each other. As cheesy as it sounds, that was exactly what happened. It felt so refreshing to get everything off his chest--the feelings he had had inside for months were finally out in the open, and it felt even better to know that she felt the exact same way about him.

Of course, all those happy feelings were being drowned by the overwhelming heartache and depression he was feeling.

After talking to Anna, he found Cora staring at them from across the room, and that was when he knew that he had to stop this right now before it got too far. And that was exactly what he had done.

It was one of the hardest things he had done in his life. Telling her that they couldn't be together felt like stabbing a knife in his heart, and when she started crying all over him, it felt like he she was ripping his heart right out of his chest. But as he held her in his arms, telling her to stop crying and that it was all for the best, he knew that it really WAS all for the best. He knew she was hurting, but that would not be nearly as bad as she would hurt if he kept this going any longer.

He hoped they could be friends. He really still did care about her, no matter what she thought at the moment. She would heal, just as he would...all she needed was time.

But now his conscious was clear. No more feeling guilty about his feelings for Anna while being with Cora. No more waiting and praying that Josh didn't get to her first.

He loved her.

She loved him.

They hadn't said that to each other yet, but he knew. He could tell she felt that way about him.

Everything was starting to work itself out now.

aww poor Cale having to eat Ezra's icky chocolate cake!
*makes Cale a GOOD cake* hehe, I love his mom though1 She is so funny!

So Canna is officially together now?? YAY!
I love it when ipeople get into giant fights and then are like well I love you" "well I love you too!" hehe

The Flying Lesson

Cale really needed to get this clumsiness thing checked out. No one was this clumsy. There had to be something physically wrong with him.

During the boy/girl flying lesson (Sssh! Don't tell that Wystan lady!) Cale had finally be reuinted with Anna after the terrible sickness he had had the previous few weeks. That stupid flu had caused him to miss Quidditch AND two Hogsmeade weekends, which he was not happy about. Anyways, Anna had walked in, dressed like a guy, and he was pretty sure she hadn't recognized him at first. Tee hee. Silly Anna.

But during the lesson, he made a fool of himself, as usual. He had been tossing the quaffle between his hands, and the POOF! It was gone. Turns out he had overshot a little and thrown the ball past his left hand, and then he had to go chasing after it. That must have been hilarious for everyone to watch. To make it worse, Vindictus scared the living daylights out of him and he went crashing straight into Anna. At first, he had been SO scared that he had hurt her, and then he got scared that he knocked her teeth out, but she had been joking with him. She found the whole situation very amusing, actually.

All and all, the whole lesson was a disaster to Cale's ego. The biggest crush would probably have been the cookies that caused uncontrollable bodily gases.

He had been planning on not telling Anna about his sudden gas releases, but a Hufflepuff boy ratted him out. Oh well, he figured she would have figured out what was happening to the boys sooner or later, what with the way that poor Ryan was practically shooting through the air on his broom due to their...problem. He had trusted Vindictus and his cookies, since the Hufflepuff captain had brought them in the first place, but now, Cale was certain he was never ever EVER going to eat another thing that came from a professor ever again. Ministry OR Hogwarts.

But, seeing Anna again had been the highlight of his day. He had been so happy to see her, in fact, and so disappointed by the fact that he couldn't hug her, that he decided, the second he got back to his dorm, that he was going to ask her the next time they were at Hogsmeade. And then, once he took her...wherever they were going, he hadn't thought that far ahead, he was going to ask her to be his girlfriend.

But don't tell anyone...it's a surprise!

haha, Imso mad I missed that lesson!
Now, I really hope there is a Hogsmeade weekend this weekend!!
GRR i cant wait for Friday! Its only Monday! hehe
great chapter Lissy!!
xoxo
Becca

I cannot wait until Hogsmeade either...hm...Reese needs to meet up with Cale.She hasn't told him about her moving to London or Reno.

Anyhow,I'm going off to read your other FF...*runs off*

I loooooooved this update!!!! That was one MEMORABLE flying lesson, so of course it deserved its OWN chapter!!!

Me: *giggles loudly at reading about Cale running into Anna*
Anna: *pushes me away* What?!?! What's he saying?
Me: *pushes her off me* "It's the flying lesson chapter..."
...few seconds later
Me: *louds extremely loud reading about Cale's little "problem."
Anna: *perks up* What is it THIS time?!?! Tell me! Tell me!
Me: Fine. It was about his little problem.
Anna: *falls out in laughter*
...ten seconds later
Me: *reads part about next Hogsmeade* "Awwwwww! How SWEET!!!"
Anna: What?!?! WHAT?!?! Tell me NOW!!!!
Me:
Anna: "I hate reading Cale stories with you"...

I was SO EXCITED it opened!

Poor Reese Cale will so beat up Reno anytime XD

Of course it did!

*****
The First Date

So, Cale didn't get to ask Anna to be his girlfriend. But a few good things DID happen this past Hogsmeade weekend!

For one, Allie, the little Beater on the Gryffindor team who had nearly killed Cale earlier in the week (Don't worry, he just broke his nose!) gave him a very lovely manicure. His nails weren't neon green or anything, like he had feared, but they did have a very manly heart on each thumbnail, with "AG+CN" written on the inside. He was very impressed by her manicure skills and how she had managed to fit such little writing on the inside.

Of course, after he finished his manicure, he was about to leave when he saw Cora. EEEEEK! And he had "AG+CN" written on his nails. Awkward!

And that was exactly how it was. Awkward.

But just as he had been about to leave with Reese, Cora grabbed his arm and asked if they could be friends. So of course, he said yes. He did, truly, want to be friends with her. It was just going to take some time, that was all.

After all that madness had finished, Cale finally got to meet up with Anna!

First of all, she had gotten all dolled up for their first date, complete with skirt and everything. Seeing her all dressed up like that, simply for him, made his heart flutter and skip a beat. This time, he wasted no time grabbing her hand on their way to Madame Puddifoot's. And when he got there, he had intended on not wasting any time getting to the kissing either. After all, he had been dying to kiss her since November, at least. He was going to die if he didn't kiss her soon!

But, being the lucky guy that he is, he just HAD to do something stupid first.

He managed to not only fall out of his stationary chair, but he also dumped ice cold water on Anna's lap and caused her to hit her forehead.

After everything calmed down, he finally managed to redeem himself and went in for the kiss.

This time, no one tripped, spilled anything, or bumped into one another. It was perfect. It was everything that Cale had dreamt of and more. Kissing Anna was the highlight of his entire life (up to this day, of course) and absolutely nothing could have ruined his day.

Ok, there was probably ONE thing.

Thorton. That miserable, fat, smelly, ogrish excuse for a man. He just HAD to come in and ruin everyone's fun. The nerve of that old loony! He thought he was better than everyone else...someone needed to stand up to that buffoon!

And that was exactly what a Hufflepuff girl did, and she got shot down immediately, and moments later, Cale's mouth just had to join in the fight too. He didn't mean to imply that the man was filth--but he did. It was a Freudian Slip, I swear!

Anna, coming to his aid, jumped into the fight too, but before Thorton had time to respond, it was almost curfew, and they were all being ushered back to their schools. Cale didn't even have time to say goodbye to Anna. All he saw before they left of that old man was ANGER. It was written all over his face.

Cale was going to be punished. Severely. No, not even punished, Thorton would have him murdered. He'd probably order Borr to sit on him or something.

Well, at least Cale will die knowing what it's like to kiss Anna Greingoth!

That is what Thorton will probably do.

Great Post,Lissy

~Cat~

Thats hardly fair! ALmost killed him! Cale can be so over-dramatic!
hehe, glad he like the manicure. Allie will give him another one anytime!
*pets* yes Cale, it is very manly.

OOO that must have been awkward, meeting Cora...its good they decided to be friends
I loved the date with Anna! The best first date ever!!!
PAMS!
xoxo
Becca

I looooved that last line!
Anna: *protects Cale*

Awww, a first date chapter!!! It was such a good recap!!! Only Canna would have a first date like that, though!!! *loves it* I can't wait for Hogsmeade to open up again!!!

ah great story I missed this I wonder how. I`m slightly disapointed but oh well I can`t have everything [Like including Barry] wait I didn`t say that did I?

Actually, Cale got his Skrewt to chase after him somehow Put him in the hospital wing and everything

Just what he needed to boost his ego

They're last goodbye was soooo sad You'd think one of them was moving away the way they were acting

I just hadn't gotten around to that You know Cale is good friends with Barry


The Drama

Cale is not one to get involved in a bunch of sneaky things. No sir. He likes to stay out of the drama, unless of course there is a bit of glory in it for him. Not that this usually happens. Most of the time if he's stupid enough to get himself involved in drama, it doesn't end up turning out very good.

Of course, things seemed to have changed since he entered Cooper's.

For one, he had somehow gotten himself involved in some secret Order called the Order of the Mane. At first he didn't think much about the numbers he had gotten in return from that mysterious owl post--he figured it was a joke or something. Oh, haha, let's all prank the Prefect! But no, it wasn't a joke, because three other guys had gotten letters like that too. And, he soon found out, that four girls at the other school had letters from mysterious orders as well.

So, when in doubt, hold in a meeting in the locker room!

The meeting did not go very smoothly at first. Turns out, even though Anna didn't get a letter, the girls had invited her along, because a few of them were first years and wanted some extra help. Cale was very excited to see her there--obviously--but some people weren't so thrilled that an extra member had been added to their party. Particularly one Slytherin boy, Clifford, who got into a shouting match with Anna and Cale and ended up leaving in a huff.

Anyways, enough about that silly order thing. It's supposed to be SECRET, after all. Besides, something much more amusing had happened in the kitchens earlier.

Cale got involved in some sort of plot to set up the house elves in the kitchens with Kingston, Barry, and Will. Or at least, that was what he thought they were doing. So, were all three of them on Borr's good side now? No fair! It was kind of sketchy, and Will just asked if he wanted to join in. Cale figured he could help, since this one elf, Beezley, had recently developed a bit of a crush on him.

Yes, it's true. Beezley the house elf fancied Cale Newell.

As if THAT wasn't embarrassing enough, she completely fawned over him in front of the guys. OHMIGOSH!

Throw in an incident with some robots, a couple of mad Skrewts, and some girls sneaking into the school, and you've got yourself one very tired--and stressed out--prefect.

Well, that's all for now. He's still fuming a bit about the loss in Quidditch to Slytherin--better let him play out his man-tantrum in private.

I was wondering when you were posting more,Lissy

OMG.I truely thought Cale wouldn't get his hands on that Order stuff,but I was wrong.I hope everything turns out okay and he doesn't loss his badge for trying to get Howgarts back.That would be bad.TeeHee.

PAMS!

I will be watching

Anna Greingoth: A house elf fancies Cale?!?! A HOUSE ELF. *fumes* WHO ELSE will I have to to fight off to keep Cale?



I love your recap of the whole locker room incident. *huggles Cale for taking up for Anna when Clifford went nuts on her* No one messes with Canna! heehee I can't wait to see how the whole Order thing plays out in the very end. Not too much longer left to go in this term.

Cale is too funneh when it comes to interacting with others around the school. He's always into some cute, funny plot. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - you play him brilliantly!

I can't wait to see what Cale and Anna will be up to next term!

*huggles you tightly*

haha, a house elf has a crush on Cale!! thats just tooo funny

I forgot about the Clifford leaving the meeting. Probably because thast when my internet was down. I don't think I can wait much longer, I want to know what happens with the order thing NOW!!

anyway, back to what I was saying. Ummm, right. great post :p
xoxo
Becca

I always thought Beezly sounded like a boys name very strange but then agin its a house elf they do have weird names.

Oh yeah I just heard remembered the kitchens too bad Will didn`t carry it on I remember when Kingston stuned that Ravenclaw .

And the robots so much that I`ve forgotten Barry was there for most of it watching from the sidelines.

Sorry off topic great post can`t wait for more

LOLOLOL Beezley fancies Cale Totally hilarious Lisseh Love, I MUST hear more of Cale's stories soooon <333333333

Nah, he didn't lose his badge He's all good!

Aww, thanks I really like playing him, he's awesome

Thanks! I'm so glad we got it finished!

Ahh, there was TOO much going on, Cale's head was about to explode

I can guarantee that his summer is going to be HILARIOUS

The Angst

Cale has had it with being nice.

Because Cale learned that sometimes, being kind to people is just a waste of his time. People are rude. They don't have any matters or any type of decency, and he's decided that if they're not going to be nice to him, well then he is just not going to be nice back.

He always knew that they were, of course. He remembered going to Diagon Alley when he was little and observing the adults as he grasped onto his mother's hand. He'd listen to people argue with store clerks and use words he had never heard before. He watched as people would walk into another person on the street, knock over all their things, and just keep on walking. Even at the young age of six he knew that that wasn't right. He had just never realized the extremes until he got thrown into the world of school.

He's always considered himself a fairly happy and polite person--or maybe that's just the ego talking, you decide. Anyways, he's always made a point to be nice to someone whenever he meets them, regardless of whether or not they return the favor. Cause that is just the kind of person he is.

Well, was.

It all started with the whole stupid Cup ordeal. Yeah, Cale was mad--ticked off, actually--that justice hadn't TOTALLY been served and the points hadn't been taken away. Eh. He really could have cared less if Gryffindor had won...any other term but this term, however. This term, he had wanted to win so bad to prove that they were stronger than Cooper thought they were. He wanted to prove that they could stand together and overcome the hardships of the two schools. By winning the cup, they'd be looking Cooper in the eye and saying "HA! YOU WERE WRONG!"

After a few minutes of stewing, he got over it. He really did. Slytherin hadn't gotten the cup, they had just ended up with their name on it, which, in Cale's opinion, was still more than they deserved. But everyone knew that Slytherin hadn't totally played by the rules, even Rae acknowledged it, so in the end, all was good.

But that was when the complaining started.

Everywhere he turned, Cale seemed to hear the words "It's not fair!" or "We won fair and square!" "We deserve the cup!" "I can't believe this!" (you get the drift) coming from the Slytherins. And the more he heard, the angrier he got. After the few initial outbursts at the feast, the other houses seemed to accept it--why couldn't they?

His anger climaxed on the train, when he kinda sorta started a row with the two Slytherin's who had started this whole ordeal. He honestly didn't WANT to make a scene like that, but after everything he had endured for the past year, it had been too hard for him to stop himself. He said a lot of stuff that he regretted, but they weren't exactly nice about the whole situation either. Either way, he had been quite certain he had just made two enemies for next term, but it's not like he really cared at that point. So what? They were two Slytherin girls that he would probably ever see. Or, if he did, hopefully it would be when they were doing something else that was against the rules, cause he would sooooo carry out his threat to throw them in detention.

There were a number of other things that day that just made him feel worse and worse, and when he finally stepped off the train, he had decided he wasn't gonna be a nice guy anymore.

Now, don't get me wrong--it's not like he's going to be a complete jerk to anyone new that he meets. He'd still say hi, smile politely, and if they were going to be nice, well then he certainly would too. That proved that they were someone who would be worth his time and might possibly become a very important friend to him later on. That was how it usually was. No matter how hard he tried, he was never going to be a complete jerk. He just wasn't like that. And of course he's still gonna be a good friend to the ones he has now.

However, if someone was just plain rude or sassy or just gave him attitude, forget it. He had zero tolerance for this stuff. He had concluded that the majority of his peers were like Ezra--addicted to drama and, in some cases, trashing others. And he knew that he wanted to avoid those people at all costs. He liked the friends he had, thank you very much. If he made new friends in the coming years, then great! But if all he met were slimeballs, then...well, their loss.

Geez, can you say angsty teen or what?

Forget Mr. Nice Prefect--no, that guy was a thing of the past. Just try to tell him off now. See what happens. It's not going to be pretty.

*cough*Not ALL of the Slytherins*cough*

There's one little,blond headed Slytherin who thinks differently.You have three guesses to guess who this person is...

But I like Mr.Nice PrefectHe cannot be the thing of the past

Haha.I just love being the first on the comment.

This story is getting better and better,Lissy.Keep up the AWESOME work.

Bwaha, I already told you this, but I'm glad Bella wasn't there, she would have had to side with Evangeline and Ellie. And then Prince Charming and Cake Thrower would have left off on a bad note =/

Anyway. I know I have also said this many many times, BUT I shall say it again.
I CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT TERM! *runs around screaming*

Okay, thats all from me
