Great. So now she had a bruise and a greatly decreased amount of brain cells. Livvy was going to fail her OWLs. She might as well just hand over her wand and drop dead or something. And it's allllllll because of Cam and his annoying continuous poking. He changed more twerp-like. He used to be sooooooo adorable. He still is, but now he's just evil. And crazy. Believing that Hobo Extinction will somehow lead to an Apocalypse. If that's not crazy, that what defines crazy? Because Cameron Karsten, the maniacal second year Slytherin, is pretty much crazy itself.
Livvy glanced around for maybe someone else that she can latch onto. No offense to Cam. But she didn't think she could take anymore bruises or anymore discussions about Apocalypses... cannibalistic professors... talking plants... Santa Clause in the disguise of Nurse Avalon.... it was too much.
She was desperate. Becca? Rachel? Plymouth? Copernicus? Cela? Where was everyone? Livvy spotted Garret along with two girls she didn't know. Well wasn't he a ladies' man? She spotted William sitting with Elizabeth and Robert. She'd go over there in a bit.
When it seemed like no one that was off her top favorite list of people was here.... there she was. RACHEL RIDER! And OMG OMG OMG! Was that a guy she was talking to? She was laughing... and he was too... does that mean... they're interested? Huh. Time to be introduced to this guy then!
Livvy grabbed Cam's hand at the last minute, since she didn't want him to feel lonely or anything and like she was ditching him, which was actually the whole point in the people search. But she skipped over.... no... crept over to Rachel and lover boy, sneakily, all the while practically dragging Cam over. Then once she was close enough to them, she whispered to Cam. "On the count of three... we run towards big prefect girl and big lover boy... and we yell out 'boo' or something. Mmkay? One... two.................. THREE!"
And at the count of three, Livvy leaped from their hiding spot, dropping the boy's hand and yelled out, "BOOOOOOOOOO!" right in their faces.

She grew silent however as she listened to Reid's little speech, feeling more than a little pleased with herself. She tried really hard to focus on what he was saying when he continued and not on his voice since she was afraid she would melt. And melting was not good - oh no. She'd be a pile of Rachel-goo on the ground and poor Neko would be covered in her.
Yeuch. . . Bleh. BACK TO REID! Snapping out of her thoughts, she nodded towards the guy sitting next to her and was about to reply when she realised he wasn't there anymore. ?! Looking around, it took her all of three seconds to realise that yes he was still there BUT he was now lying on the floor, not sitting.
EEEP! He had taken her hand. Her tiny hand, in his big, hard, muscly, warm, amazing hand of his own (she was SO beyond pathetic it was insane). She blinked several times at the sight of their hands intertwined together and smiled slightly, the grin growing more pronounced with every second that wore on.
Now fully grinning her stupid, idiotic happy smile, Rachel lifted the cat so that she could lie down too, right next to Reid. Getting comfortable, she replaced Neko on her chest and almost jumped in surprise as she realised that she and Reid - their faces - were mere inches apart. . . SO CLOSE!!
And his eyes... They were too close for her to be able to avoid them any longer. She felt herself slowly but surely drown in that bottomless sea of blue and almost didn't notice when Reid began talking.
"Why, thank you," the fifth year replied in a strangled whisper, having trouble finding her voice. She listened carefully as he detailed the locations for the shooting, nodding at the right moments and fighting with herself not to just pout constantly at the thought of not being able to see him for that long.
"Visit? You. . . You wouldn't mind having me come?" she asked hesitantly, liking the idea more and more with every second that passed. "And yeah I do - me and my uncle like to play with it when we're bored," she smiled at the memory of her and Jake fussing over the mobile, goofing around and generally having a good time.
He was right - they could use the cellphone to talk to each other. . . And maybe even SEE each other since the mobile could do that too! Grinning broadly again, she turned back to playing with Neko on her chest, visions of them together but ALONE in Paris flying through her head.
"AAAAAAAAAARGH!!!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, WHOEVER YOU ARE!!" Rachel screamed as something, or rather someONE, came and practically screamed in their faces. She jumped up in a matter of seconds, putting Neko down as gently as she could and turned to look for the cuplrit who would spend EACH AND EVERY SINGLE DAY FROM NOW UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR in detention.
Oh. It was Livvy. GAH! "Livs..." she began through gritted teeth, blush colouring her cheeks as she looked at Reid, wondering if her scream had burst his eardrums. "What are you DOING?!" Rachel hissed, itching suddenly for her wand so that she could. . . She could- ... Erm, DO SOMETHING!
Ack. This was embarrassing and OH SO wrong.
"I guess that's true." he whispered back, smiling lovingly at the way she was playing with Neko. The two would definitely get along, just like he had anticipated after Rachel threatened him the last time about wanting to meet his little kitty. He also knew that Neko loved the attention Rachel was bestowing on her and that she was also coming to be quite fond of the girl herself.
Reid looked into her eyes, watching her every expression, almost chuckling when he noticed she was having a hard time not turning into goo. Not that he'd mind if she did, after all it would only show just how much he affected her. Then again he really liked talking to Rachel about things so maybe her turning into goo wouldn't be a good thing.
Reid did chuckle when he saw her confused expression as she frantically looked for him. He was about to gently tug on her hand when she noticed that he was lying on the ground next to her. "You know I would never just leave you alone like that. There may be times when I leave you alone but I'll always tell you first." he informed her while looking at their entwined hands. He was ecstatic that she hadn't pulled away, that she had in fact lay down next to him.
Reid gently ran his thumb over her tiny hand as he listened to her speak, focusing on their hands instead of how close they actually were. If he focused on that he didn't know what he'd do and he didn't want to push or pressure Rachel.
"I'd love it if you came with me. It would be fun. However I'll be working almost constantly but I do get breaks during the day which I could spend with you and we don't always work. You'd obviously have to ok it with your Uncle but otherwise you're quite welcome to come. I know that my friends would love to meet you." Reid replied, his thoughts unknowingly mirroring Rachel's.
Reid looked up when Neko heard someone approaching, eyes searching for the culprit and unfortunately breaking the eye contact he had developed with Rachel. Seeing no-one he relaxed again and turned to smile at his Rachel when suddenly someone was looming over them and screaming.
Reid shot to his feet his hand automatically going to his wand holster and drawing his wand from it. Whoever had just interrupted his time with Rachel, the time where he was maybe just about to ask her out, was so dead it wasn't funny. However he made sure his expression didn't betray any of that, his eyes however may have just given an outsider and inkling into his thoughts. "Who are you?" Reid asked the girl in a pleasant tone which was completely put on.
Reid's attention refocused on Rachel when he noticed the way in which she said the girls name. So obviously they knew each other, but Rachel didn't sound happy to see the girl. Then again he wasn't happy to see her either.
He almost, almost, smirked when he saw Rachel reaching for her wand, but ended up pouting instead when he realised that when they both got up they'd let go of each others hands. His expression soon turned neutral however as he didn't want to see the girl who's name he now knew was, Livvy or something, see him pouting.

Wait.
She seemed rather red. Was she.... was she blushing? Holy crud. Rachel can BLUSH?! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww...
"Well.. uhm... to say 'hi' of course? Did I just commit a crime?" Livvy asked, a small nervous smile on her lips as she watched anxiously as Rachel's hand seemed to be searching for something... for her wand? NO WAY! Rachel was gonna hex her?! What was the world coming to? AHHHHHHH!!!
The Ravenclaw laughed nervously as she reached out to pull Rachel's hands away from her pockets and clasp them together, quite relieved that she saw no wand. Then Livvy actually noticed the boy that stood next to Rachel. And then her eyes widened.
OH.
"Uhhh.... did I interrupt something?" she asked, smiling nervously, as she smoothly and inconspicuously tiptoed backwards. Livvy made a note to herself to tell Cam and lil' Aussie boy, NEVER to come between two lovebirds, unless they're asking for an early death.
Reid silently observed the other girl who seemed to be focusing all of her attention on Rachel, Rachel who she had just seemingly noticed was looking for her wand. He kind of felt sorry for the girl, except she'd interrupted his time with Rachel, so he couldn't find it in his heart to care. Although Rachel might get in trouble if she cursed the other girl.
While Reid was pondering that the other girl had grabbed hold of his Rachel's hands. How could she? Didn't she know that he wanted to hold Rachel's hands? The world was just so unjust these days that it wasn't fair.
Ahh now the girl's attention was on him. Smirking evilly he brandished his wand slightly. "I think you know quite well that you interrupted something. After all you jumped out at us and yelled boo. Which would mean that you had seen both of us and the position we were in."
Reid nearly began laughing when he saw her tiptoe backwards. He wouldn't really harm the girl as he was sure Rachel wouldn't appreciate him hexing one of her friends. Not in the long run at least.
Neko hissed at the newcomer from where she had been put down. She'd been getting ready for a nap on Rachel's chest when the girl had so rudely interrupted their quiet time. She didn't like this one at all. Interrupting her master when he was just about to ask the all important question. And on top of that making the lovely Rachel put her on the ground where it wasn't warm at all.
