But ugh, yes! Blood pops. Vivian made a face as they came across a whole pack of them in the shelf. "Yeah, those red ones," she said, pointing and cringing at the sweets. Were they even supposed to be considered as sweets?! "I'm not sure if they're actually made of blood, but I guess vampire kids fancy them?" Or those with wolfish mannerisms. It's not that Vivian minded, but she just didn't think the blood pops appealed to her so she was going to avoid them as much as possible. "And perhaps acid pops... if you wanted a hole on your tongue." Which she hopes won't happen! No way! But now she had her eyes on those pumpkin pasties. Did she want some of those? Hmm, Vivian would have to contemplate on that for a while.

Still, something about the jobs of a barista -- THAT was the word! -- pretty much interested Vivian. Handling the coffee and doing those pretty art with the foam. It just amazed her. "Is it hard? Handling the machine thing, that is. It kinda looks complicated from a customer's point of view," she had to ask. She always only found herself staring and contemplating on life whenever she watched the barista person do his thing. Vivian couldn't help but giggle at the 'check out people' part. She even wiggled her eyebrows at the comment. "There's nothing wrong with checking people out," she had to say. If there were attractive people out there, why not appreciate such beauty?

The name 'Ace' didn't really ring the bell yet, but the name 'Tenacius' definitely did! A wide grin grew on Vivian's face. "The prefect, yeah?" Just to make sure they were talking about the same guy. That would have been awkward! "Sooooo, how'd it go? Are you guys official now?" The important questions needed to be asked, because Vivian would definitely support whoever made her friends happy! But then the conversation shifted towards her, and the blonde sort of just smiled and shook her head. "No one special," she said. "Unless getting butterflies in your stomach whenever you see someone is considered special." Were her feelings for Andrei considered a crush, anyway? She didn't know, but she was positive that she didn't just think of him as just a friend. It was more than that.

The expression on Olivia's face made Vivian giggle a little. "Perhaps there are some Mars Bars outside, in Muggle London," the blonde beamed. "There are great ones in here that aren't Mars Bars." Like loooooads of them!
Vampire kids? Olivia blinked. Sure, she had read about vampires in books and whatnot but she had never ran across a vampire in her life so far (thank MEEEERLIN) for that. So the whole notion of vampires seemed like a far off concept but when Vivian mentioned them, she realized that they were actually much closer to what she would have liked to think. She shivered slightly and then began eying other customers as they walked past. Everyone was now a suspect for sure. Olivia just had to make sure to keep an eye on them. Mhmm.. "Both sound waaaay more painful than I'm willing to sign up for," laughed Olivia. Sure, she had a high pain tolerance but still... Acid burning a whole in her tongue? No thank you! She'd pass on that experience.

Handling the coffee machine was hard.... "Yeah, I think so but I think its cause I haven't found my rhythm yet for it. I think that once I get into the rhythm of it all. It will come more naturally. My boss keeps telling me that I think too much when I do it." Overcomplicate and over worry about all the sentences that she's just said? Yep, that was Olivia Holden recently. She was very aware at finding all of the possible meanings of the phrases that escaped her lips. She laughed a little with Vivian. Yes, she was right. There wasn't nothing wrong with checking people out especially when she wasn't dating someone but still.... She felt guilty for some reason because emotionally she was sort of taken...? Or maybe that was just her. "True. The barista did have many interesting stories about people leaving her their number," she smiled.

She nodded. Yes, Olivia Holden had a very big crush on the Gryffindor male Prefect. He was a great person and just.... just... fantastic? She could have used so many other words to describe her but none of them truly fit him. He was just... wonderful. *SWOON*. Hold up. Was Olivia Holden just swooning over a guy? What happened to her independent ways back at Beauxbatons and last year? Well... half of last year. Nope. That was gone. Her cheeks turned pink. "Yep, that's him! Gryffindor Prefect and one of my closest friends." Seriously she couldn't imagine Hogwarts without him or Noelle or Etta or Mel o Jace. It'd be so weird without them. THEN Olivia turned the BRIGHTEST red of shade (way redder than she was before). Were they official? That was the million dollar question. "Well you see... I.... I don't know. I don't think so. We're taking things slow," she rambled. She had no clue. Ace and her had never really talked about what they were... They had just gone out on dates and enjoyed each other's company. Yes, she knew how much she meant to him based on his actions and she was pretty certain that he knew how much he meant to her. But they were taking this sloooooow. Now Vivian and a certain someone...? Olivia almost hadn't caught that murmur but had. Thank goodness for good hearing. Sure her eyesight was just okay but her hearing was great. Butterflies in your stomach? She smiled. "Then that person must be special or you must think they're special to be making you feel that way." That was the way she felt whenever she saw Ace. She felt comfortable with him always but still she always got the butterfly feeling seeing him.... smile. AHEM. What was happening to Miss independent? Earth to Olivia? She blinked and she was back with Vivian. "So who is this person?"

Yes, Vivian was right. There were most likely plenty of Mars Bars outside of this store at other muggle convenience stores. Olivia beamed. "Yes, plenty of times to grab a quick mars bars before going home!"
