 ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls
Yeah, Katherine's understanding of 'fun' was precisely that - cramming for tests and studying. "I enjoy reading a book," she said, "and..." That was it. She didn't like television much, for she hadn't really been allowed to watch it. She also didn't like video games, those were a waste of time... music, she wasn't talented at. Sports - blegh.
You know what this means. That you've wasted your time.
She shrugged non-chalantly. She wasn't an empty, annoying know-it-all. Well, she was, but not in that sense. Silencing the little voice that sometimes spoke the truth, she impatiently waved her hand at her friend.
"Of course I know what it means!" she said, "and I've seen what teenagers become during this phase. They become little rebels, they hate the world and they think no one can help them." She made a face that CLEARLY showed what she thought of these people. "So they aren't themselves. They want a relationship and they don't care about their grades." But Katherine wasn't going to be such a teenager. In fact, she wasn't even going to be a teenager. She was already very mature, and she was clever enough not to 'love' someone before the university, so she had nothing to worry about. Right.
If Hadley did become such a teenager, she was disowning her right that moment.
.......a Gryffindor. Blaise was also a Gryffindor and only one year older. Blaise and Hadley were perfect for each other, even though she'd have to admit that Hadley is better than Blaise - she had a goal, at least, and could do magic. Katherine's chest got tighter, while her brain was yelling her to be logical. It was stupid of her, very much so. Hadley could love anyone, whenever she wanted (although as her friend, Katherine would suggest otherwise). Besides, Blaise wasn't even a wizard. Why did Katherine think too much about him?
"Who is it?" she half-whispered as she held her breath.
