SPOILER!!: Fern <3 Quote:

But that was okay. Once she and her date were on the dance floor, everyone would be saying, "WOAH! LOOK AT FERN QUIMBLEY WORKING THOSE KILLER HEALS!"
Fern was giggling in delighted anticipation of this when Brynny arrived. The 12-year-old turned in her chair at the sound of the Ravenclaw's voice, a huge smile on her face that quickly turned into a frown. "Brynny," Fern began tentatively but stopped to possessively grab the back of her date's chair when the first year tried to pull it out.
Drama was avoided when her friend took a seat in the other chair, and Fern let go of her grasp on the chair to rearrange the napkin. There. Perfect. Everything needed to be perfect. And it was - almost.
The chair was perfect. The table was perfect. The decorated Great Hall was perfect. Fern was perfect.
But Brynny.
Brynny was not perfect.
"It's the Half-Hearted Ball," Fern answered slowly. How did Brynny not know this? And what was she wearing? The Ravenclaw's pajama pants were cute, but they were pajama pants. And her shirt. "No Boyfriend. No Problem."
Ummm, more like BIG problem!
"Where's Kace!? Didn't he ask you!? Sure Brynny's hair was grey now, but if you looked at it just right, it could almost pass for silver. And anyway, it wasn't her fault. It was Tora Gallaway's (Fern still needed to have a talking with that girl). AND, AND, LOVE WAS BLIND!
Half-Hearted Ball? Brynn lifted her brown eyes from the table and looked around at all the decorations. This was certainly something and she supposed it did fit with a Valentine's Day theme. So it was a ball.. like a dance? Her eyes flickered to the stage area as some student musicians seemed to be setting up or something, then glanced back at Fern. "Gosh, Fern, you look nice," she smiled at her friend, noticing her pretty dress and sparkly nails. Half-hearted was funny though because that's about what Brynn felt at that moment. Heh. How appropriate.
The eleven year old squinted at the table, grabbing a slice of heart-shaped pepperoni pizza and taking a bite. It would probably give her killer heartburn later, but she was hungry and this would have to suffice. Mid-chew, she glanced back at Fern as she asked questions. Kace? Brynn gave her a kind of weird look then glanced around the Great Hall. Was she looking for him? "Ask me what?"
Oh.
Brynn turned back to Fern and sort of huffed. "Don't you read the school paper?" she started, fully meaning the Aparecium. "Kace is the biggest player in school. I wouldn't go with him anyway. He's weird." Sure, she could admit he was really cute and had those piercing blue eyes, but he was no DC Fontaine. Who she was sure didn't string along girls! Spotting him in the crowd, she pointed him out to the Hufflepuff. "See?" He was totally with yet another girl.
Taking another bite of her pizza, her eyes flickered back to Fern. "So what's the napkin for anyway?"
