Soon enough, the green protoplasm or whatever it was called would start forming around her shoes and stick her properly to the spot. In the meantime, the prefect was trapped. The bottom of the staircase blocked by Elise, the other end moving between floors.
"Stop. lying. to. me." Elise's voice was strained as her right hand gripped the railing tightly, partly from not wanting to fall off, the other part from frustration. She knew full well that Bee hadn't been sleeping the last time she'd entered the dorms and she seemed to be sitting as far away as she could from the blonde in classes. It wasn't normal for this sort of thing to be happening and to be honest, Elise was really getting worried.
"I'm a beater," she said quickly. Just in case Bee had forgotten that single vital fact. She was also incredibly observant and had noticed things like how Bee had been hiding behind pillars, escaping classrooms as soon as possible, etc. She'd also noticed the tryout sheets that hadn't even bee touched by the brunette. "and you haven't signed up for tryouts."
"
I'm.....not lying." She was TRYING. Although her facial expression was contradicting her words. Worst liar ever? Someone should give her that award. She didn't want to lie to Elise. The blonde was one of her closest friends but she had to. There were reasons for that but she couldn't be sure any one of them would understand so avoiding the matter was her best pick.
"
That doesn't mean you can't be a Chaser." Really. If there was one person Beezus would want to take up her spot as a Ravenclaw Chaser, it would be Elise. And yes, she haven't signed up for tryouts.
Meh.
It looks as if there was no use avoiding it now. Captain Fairfield had brought it up herself. The tryouts. The word resonating inside her head made her bite her lip and then she looked away.
The staircase is nearing a floor now. I'll be able to get away before she skins me alive. "
Oh!" Pretend surprise right there. "
The sign ups have started? I didn't know. " She knew...she actually even had a few moments with that sign up sheet in between those times she was trying to figure out for herself if she'd write down her name on it but so far, she knew there wasn't a Beatrice Castell in there and might stay that way.
She hated lying. It made her feel like a terrible person. So the earlier she gets away, the better. She won't be forced to add more lies.
Finally, the staircase stopped moving. Beezus was so ready to lift her feet and run but she realized that she was stuck....or rather......Elise had stuck her shoes' soles on the marble floor. Turning back to the blonde, Beezus semi-glared. "
What is this?" UGH.
