Fee looked at the book and smiled. She loved books.
" Oh how cool", she said," i need to get me a new one, the love novel i borrowed last time is done."
Adam? Moody?
"Why got he moody?", Fee asked a ,little worried.

Kurumi sat down. "Nothing too serious," she smiled weakly. "He casually mentioned that him and I spent too much time together and should branch out. Something else about how we share the same friends." Kurumi wrinkled her brow. She still wasn't really sure why Adam had made the suggestion. She hoped she wasn't being suffocating like Katie had been.

What?!Wait a second. Adam wanted to spent less time with Kurumi? Adam to Earth?!

"Okay... thats weird", Fee said," i dont know whats wrong with him really,i thought you were best friends."

Seriously what was going on with this guy at the moment?!

Kurumi scratched her head and thought for a few moments. "We are best friends...at least, I think we are still." She frowned a little more. "Maybe he is just tired of girls. Being with Katie was a real handful."

"I am sure you are", Fee said giving Kurumi an encouraging smile.
"Maybe he was just stressed from all the drama he had been trough."

Fee couldnt come up with any other logical reason.

"Thanks," Kurumi smiled. She had to admit, she was pretty tired of all the drama going around. Maybe she should avoid boys all together like Adam may or may not be doing with girls. "What brought you to this part of the castle? Did you get lost like me?" she asked changing the subject. If the rumors were true, Fee could use some non-drama related conversation.

"Oh i was wandering through the castle and saw the door wide open", Fee told Kurumi,"i actually was searching for a place to think."

Was there even one place you could be alone? Fee didnt think so.
"Where did you wanted to go before you got lost?"

Brielle looked at the boy directly in the eyes, "I don't want to up zet you, zo I will go no further." She smiled, "But if you 'aven't I zuggezt you make your feelings known....." The french girl wicked.
Brielle was rather preceptive person, and what she had seen at the Goblet spoke volumes.

"Teach you to dance!" Brielle grinned, "I 'eard you were ze Mazter of Everything! Zurely you will up for ze challenge!" Brielle could see potential, but it would come down to where or not Josh, found Ballet to be a girly past-time. However there was nothing more attractive to Brielle, than a man who didn't care what others thought.

Kurumi blushed. "the common room." As ridiculous as it sounded. She probably was spending too much time with Heather if she was getting lost on the ground floor going to a common room on the 7th.

"Dont worry", Fee smiled warmly,"everyone gets lost sometimes."
True, Fee even got lost in her own wardrobe.

"Not all those who wander are lost," Kurumi quoted and then laughed. She sounded like she really knew what she was talking about there. She reached into her pocket and found some candy that an upperclassman had given her. She did a quick inspection of them. Nope. Not canary creams. It looked like some sort of bubble gum. She offered on to Fee.
OOC: Drooble's Best Blowing Gum:lmao:

"Not all but some", Fee laughed as well.
Ohhhhh Kurumi had Candy?!Wooohoo..

"Thank you",Fee smiled,"i am an candy addict."

It must be something in the water over in the Slytherin common room. Every girl she had met, with the exception of Fang, seemed to be obsessed with sugar. Kurumi took one of the candies and popped it into her mouth. She heard a soft pop. She looked to her left to see a giant blue bubble floating in the air.

pop!pop!pop!pop!pop!pop!pop!pop!pop!pop!pop!pop!po p!pop!pop!pop!pop!pop!

Suddenly the room was filled with them.

Fee put the bubble gumm in to her mouth and started chewing.
Suddenly she heard a loud pop.
right beside her was a huge pink bubble in the air.
Fee started to giggle.
"Ahahaha looook everything is pink and blue", she giggled.

Kurumi took out her wand and poked one of the bubbles, but nothing happened. In fact, her wand pushed down on the bubble as if it were elastic. "Oh dear," she half gasped half laughed. First canary creams and now bubbles that didn't pop.

''I don't care about being upset'' Josh uttered quickly his tone sounding quite serious. He wanted to know what this beauty knew about Evelyn or what she managed to observe there. ''I don't care about myself much either. All i care is...'' ...Evelyn and her well being. However the boy could not complete this sentence his voice trailing off for a reason he could not understand. What was happening to him? He could not figure out but it was like he had started to feel sick. So he looked down at the floor for a moment or so but quickly looked back at the girl after what she had said.

Making his feelings known.

The boy gulped and stared into the eyes of the French girl. She was right. He had to do it before it was too late. Or to face whatever it would result: Happiness or misery. He believed he was strong enough to face any bad result.

Then he was about to think of what would happen if he lost Evelyn's friendship when the girl spoke again snapping him out of this thought. Teaching him ballet. Eeeh. That was too girly, was not it? However it was true that he was the master of everything so he could not say 'no' to this offer because saying so would mean that he was not the master of everything. ''Mmm. Okay but. Is not there more manly moves in this dance figures? I want to learn those''

Marie was sitting there lost in her thoughts of Carter not paying attention to anything that was going on around her. Then again that would be because the room was empty when she entered it so there was nothing going on around her. However it was a little hard not to pay attention when someone sat right in front of her.

Evan... she should have known he would find her. He probably followed her just so he could remind her again of how stubborn she was and tell her again that everything was her fault. Whatever. If he did she would just langlock him. She was NOT going to listen to him tell her how rotten she was anymore.

O_____O

Did she just hear him right? Evan Cartwright was apologizing... to her? Well this was a first. Marie just stared at him for a minute while the shock of him apologizing wore off. "So you're not really tired of me then and you don't think everything that happened is my fault?" she asked still not sure if she had heard him correctly.

Evan frowned a little at the level of her shock. So what? It wasn't that unusual for him to apologise, was it? Being totally oblivious to the fact that this was the first time he'd ever apologised to Marie, he went on to reply her question. "No, I'm not tired of you. Never." How could she think such a thing? She didn't get to know him then, after all those years. "And they're apparently not entirely your fault." He came to realise Carter'd been ignoring her too. Stupid boy. He was missing such a nice girl here.

Sighing a little, he ran his hand through his hair. "Do you remember how we used to be so close when we were dating?" he asked all of a sudden, leaning on a little to her, his blue eyes locked to her green ones. "I miss those times..." A lot. He missed how nice they used to get along. Life had been much simpler back then. It was OWL free for one, and Marie didn't hate him. Well, even though she claimed she didn't hate him at all, he could clearly see they weren't the same. She was more distant, which saddened him. Sure, no one could be more distant than Mina who ABANDONED him to go to France. He missed her a lot too, just like he missed being close to Marie. Leaning just a little bit more to her unconsciously, he kept looking into her eyes, as if he was lost in them.

Marie could feel a small smile forming on her face as Evan said he could never be tired of her. "Thanks, that means a lot hearing you say that," she said. Evan had been her first male friend she made at school and the thought of losing that friendship hurt. "I know I'm to blame for some of what has happened with Carter, but it's really not all my fault. I have tried talking to him and each time it's like he can't stand being around me for more than two minutes so he makes excuses to leave." Like earlier today in the nursery. It was so obvious now that he didn't want to have anything to do with her so why did she keep trying?

Oh no, he was sighing and running his hands through his hair. This was not a good sign. Was he about to say something she wasn't going to want to hear again? Maybe she should just langlock him now before he said anything.

Too late...

He spoke, although it was nothing like what she was expecting to hear him say. Again he left her speechless as he gazed into her eyes. "Yeah, I remember," she said finally finding her voice... sort of. How could she forget, he was her first boyfriend. Now that she thought about it, he was the first for several things. First male friend, first boyfriend, first boy she kissed. So yeah, no matter how bad things got with them she would never forget the good times they had. "I miss those times too," she whispered as she continued to look into his eyes too only to realize he was leaning just a little closer to her.

Knowing she should probably back away a little she couldn't seem to make herself move. It was like he had her hypnotized or something.

Evan smiled a little. Did Marie still really think of him so great? That was nice... because no matter what he said, he still cared a lot about her. He felt guilty about not showing it lately. He hoped that she could see that he still loved her in a sense.

Shrugging, he offered softly "Maybe it's time to leave him..." Really, for only this time he hated to be correct, but Carter simply broke her heart. It was simple as that. Moving a little bit closer too--now they were quite close to each other, he could almost feel her breath, he patted her shoulder lightly. She deserved much better people, not a jerk like Carter.

Oblivious to her loss of voice, he was still hypnotised by her eyes. He smiled a little sadly when she said she remembered too. He wished there could be a way to return to those times and always stay there. He got even closer, now looking at her lips like he was hypnotised. He could feel her breath now. Many things were running in his head--how much he missed Mina, the memories of Marie, the feeling of being abandoned. With the encouragement of her words and that she wasn't backing away, he murmured "I... I also miss you," into her lips like hypnotised and closing his eyes, he kissed her fully on lips. It was a tender and slow kiss with his one hand on her cheek. Although he felt extremely guilty with Mina in his mind, he couldn't stop himself.

Adam wished to spend some good time with Taylor. Besides he hadn't seen her in weeks and they really needed to catch up. So much had gone on, everyone needed to be informed on the things that revolved around this school. He sat on a desk and swinged his legs around.

Taylor was wandering past a few of the classrooms when she looked into one of them and noticed Adam. She smiled at him and waved. "Hey!" she said cheerily as she entered the room, she ruffled up her curls and pulled a chair out to sit on. "How are things then?" she asks him.

"Things, well you know Katie right- I broke up with her a few nights ago...I'm so relieved to be out of her grasp.....Too clingy and repetitive...I also felt forced into it, I gave her a chance but it was getting to me...You? What's been going on with you?"

"Ahh, yeah. That must have been fun!" she replies sarcasticlly to him with a small smile. She hated clingy people in general- it's like they're desperate. Eww. "Umm, not too much really- just lessons and stuff." she trailes off, this place was so boring compared to her life on the 'outside world' She got her perfume from her bag and spritzed herself with it- just to freshen up, plus she loved the smell. She smiled again at Adam.

"Right..."Wait? Was that perfume, why did she need to spray on perfume right now. "Are you gonna put on some fashion show for me or something? Why are you spraying perfume?"He asked her, he slowly got up and back away, walking backwards, from Taylor...

Taylor looked at him strangely. Was he backing away? She smiled slightly. "It's just something i do- you know- to make me smell nice. Don't worry or anything, i'm not after you." she said with a giggle.

Adam furrowed his eyebrows. Could he trust her, he didn't know her too well yet."Ok..."He said slowly. He sat down again, still watching her. "It seems like Vanilla cream- nice..."

"Hmm" she said back to him. "So, how did Katie take it- the split?" she asks sweetly.

"She just wanted me to tell her anything that she might need to know...But I didn't have anything to say...So we just went our seperate ways..."He didn't want to mention Kurumi to Taylor yet, that girl could spread things fast, and he didn't need any of that now. Not when he just wanted to be a normal 11 Adam Burn normal kid.

Taylor smiled again. "Ahh." she replied. Taylor was good with interpreting things. Hmm. Is he hiding something? Another girl perhaps? She smirks and straightens out her skirt.

"So..."An awkward silence erupted between them like a volcanoe..."What do you want to do now?"He had no clue what he was asking her. HOw would she answer him back.

She looked at him. "What do you mean?" she asks, raising an eyebrow feeling the slight awkwardness. "Umm... i don't know."

Rose hoisted herself onto a desk and sat in the abandoned classroom, swing her legs as she sat and hummed a little tune to herself. It was so... quiet here. Much better than some other places round the castle, where it was always noisy and loud. Although the Eagle Common Room was alright - she supposed it was because everyone was studying or reading.

Oh the joys of being in the smartie house.

Katie walked into classroom 11, so quiet compered to the Slytherin common room, Katie sat down at a desk next to the other, Katie looked at the girl and smiled, "Hello" Katie said.

Taylor noticed Katie walk into the room and smiled at her- she gave her a small wave.

Katie noticed out of the corner of her eye someone waving, she turned around and saw Taylor, "Hey Taylor" Katie said wondering what Taylor was doing here "How are you?" Katie asked.

"NOOO. Don;t say hi to her...I don't want to talk to her."Adam whispered into Taylors eyes. Now Katie would think that Adam and Taylor were up to no good. That's what Katie always thought.

"I'm good thanks" she replies to Katie, smirking. She ruffles her hair again and checks out her nails. She smiles again at Katie.

"Sorry!" she replies to Adam, seeing the look in his eyes- why is he so bothered what Katie thinks if they are over?!

"Thats good" Katie said as she smiled back at her "Watcha been up to?" Katie asked

"Oh, not too much." she replies, smiling again- secretly she couldn't wait to get back home- even though she knew what certain people were up to at the moment... not good. She smiles again. "How about you?" she then trails off- thinking about the whole break up thing.

Katie looked at Adam "I am sure Adam has told you what most of what has happened" Katie said staring at Adam.

"i'm gonna go."Adam told Taylor. He waved bye to her, and didn't even care to look at lying Katie with her fake crys and lies now a days..."See ya later, maybe next time we can just chat me and you Taylor- no one else around US."He told her with disgust.

"Yeah. He has." she replies, feeling slightly awkard. She wasn't quite sure what was true though to be honest!

Whoa. "Alright then. Bye!" she said, with a shrug of her shoulder and a comforting smile.

Katie watched Adam go out the door, once he was out of sight Katie put her head in her hands, she never faked cry in her life and hardly tells lies, Adam was ruining her life, she sometimes wishes she was a muggle sometimes, that was how bad it is, a tear came to Katie's eye.

"Oh my gosh honey, are you alright?" she asks Katie, trying to be comforting. She hugs her friend- hoping her perfume isn't too overwhelming- even though Britney rocks.

Katie looks up at Taylor, "Adam is ruining my life" Katie said looking at Taylor, and it was true, he sent rumors about her, he talked about her behind her back and he said thing that are not true, Katie wanted to to tell him to stay out of her life, forever but she couldn't get herself to say that.

"Ahh." Harsh, Taylor thought- surely it's not that bad?! "Well, if it makes you feel any better, i have a serious, amazingly big crush on my sister's fiance." she says with a laugh and a wink- trying to make her friend laugh.

Katie smiled and laughed a bit "Is he cute?" Katie giggled.

"Seriously cute!" Taylor replies grinning. "Plus he's super sweet to me. Ahh. It's such a shame." she laughs again.

Fee giggled at what just happend.
"If they are that elastic maybe we can sit on them. Ride the bubble", she laughed.
That would be insanly funny. Maybe they'd look like idiots, but did they care?
Fee did not.

Marie knew that what Evan was saying was probably what she needed to do, however she didn't know if she was ready to really admit that there was no chance of her and Carter getting back together. "I know I need to move on with my life, it's just... well a little part of me tells me there is still a chance he may change his mind about me." she said. Yeah, she knew her life was pretty pathetic right now. It had been over three months since Carter broke up with her and here she was still thinking he would want her back.

Feeling Evan's hand on her shoulder and hearing his words Marie felt her heartbeat speed up... just as he kissed her. Not just any little kiss on the cheek either, he was kissing her like he had never kissed her before. Unable to resist she put her arms around his neck and kissed him back. All thoughts of Carter pushed to the back of her mind at that moment. The only thing she was thinking right now was how nice it felt to actually be wanted by someone. Especially by Evan, whose heart she knew she had broken not so long ago.

Kurumi had to admit, that did sound like a lot of fun. She grabbed the closest blue bubble to her and tried to get on it. It was like trying to climb onto a round water bed - very difficult. Instead of sitting on it, she ended up lying on her stomach in a tight star formation. "It's hard to get on," she blushed as she tried to make herself sit up, but ended up spinning in the air instead.

Fee started to laugh really hard as she saw Kurumi on her bubble.
She needed to try that, too.
Reaching out for the next pink bubble she tried to climb on it.
Argh it was all flabby. A bit like jelly.
But then Fee got on top of it and really got to sit there.
Suddenly the bubble was turning around and she was more hanging then sitting on the bottom of it.
"Oh glitter, we look sooooo funny", she started to laugh," you are like the star anf i am the weird hanging thing."

"You" *spin* "look" spin "cute" *spin*

Kurumi seemed unable to make herself stop spinning around in the air. Her bubble began to rise a little higher in the air. She sure hoped that she didn't hit the ceiling...

Marie & Evan. *shifty*
 

Destiny needed a place to hiiiiiide!

Hands stuffed in her pockets, trying to hide what was inside, and pet flobberworm resting on her shoulder, she shuffled her way around the ground floor, constantly looking behind her. Evelyn was probably spying on her, and she did not want her friend catching her right now. Her pockets were PACKED with chocolate frogs, and she was going to eat them all..

..by herself.

Peeking in a few classrooms, she was disappointed when they seemed to be occupied. Meh. She didn't want to check every floor looking for an empty room, so, seeing a door open just a little bit, she pulled out a chocolate frog and using her foot opened the door more so she could squeeze in. Closing the door very quietly behind her, she started unwrapping the chocolate frog and when she was just about to shove it in her mouth, she froze.

O_________________O

Was that Marie?

It was.

Was she kissing someone?

She was.

And that someone was not Carter.

Fumbling a little (FROM SHOCK!!111!!!) she dropped the frog, not bothering to watch where it was hopping off to and quickly covered her eyes with both hands. "I didn't see anything, I SWEAR!"

Fee giggled.
"You*laugh*do*laugh*as well. AHHHHH"
Fee was spinning on her bubble. Right.Left. And back.
"Wohooooo", she called laughing.
They must look like total weirdos.
"We could need something to curb it"

A light bulb turned on in Kurumi's head. "Charms class!" she squeaked taking out her wand. The bubble was already floating, so she just skipped to step two. "Fixate!" Few, now she was done spinning around in circles. "Locomotor blue bubble!" Now Kurumi was able to guide herself around the room as if she were riding her own personal fluffy cloud - giggling the entire way.

Evan's heart gave a huge leap when Marie kissed him back. It was beating at its full pace, and it felt like it could jump out of his chest at anytime. Really, it had to slow down or he was going to suffocate here. He didn't care though. All he cared was Marie, their kiss and Mina. The kiss felt extremely wrong, guilty, and yet very sweet. He knew he had to end this shame before it got any longer, but he just couldn't end it, for he was afraid what might come next. The fact that he had just cheated on Mina started to make his heart ache, but his devil side felt great. Had she not abandoned him? Well, she had to go to France for... Some lame reason! She had abandoned him, and that was it!

With Marie's touch on his neck though, everything went black in his mind except her. For a moment, he felt like they were back together, happy like before, until--
Someone entered. Breaking apart at the speed of light, he couldn't even turn to see who it was. It was Carter, he knew it. That was it, they were bust--hearing a female voice that told she'd seen nothing, he could look up with his face totally red--though one could never say whether it was from shame or from the great feelings he felt at the same time. Recognising the face, his eyes narrowed a bit. Was that... Destiny? Oh. Oh. That made it a lot easier. And the fact that she had already said she didn't see anything... because such a thing should never have happened, and it would stay that way--never happened. Finally finding the courage to steal a peek at Marie, he waited for her reaction. She was her friend, after all.

Fee watched Kita curb the bubble.
Sure charms class! Why hadnt they thought of that earlier.
"Fixate", she aimed her wand at the bubble she was hanging on.
Oh yay, it was working.
"Locomotor, pink bubble"
Fee was now flying next to Kurumi.
"Ahhhh much better", she laughed,"great idea Kurumi."

Kurumi flashed a bright smile at Fee. This was nice, just hanging out and not worrying about anything. Just being girls. With all the drama and Kurumi's own past haunting her, she had had to grow up so quickly and never had the chance to just be herself with friends. "Where should we float to?" It did seem like kind of a waste to just stay locked up in this small room.

Fee laughed.
Oh yes discovering the castle on bubbles.
It felt really good to forget about everything for a moment and she was really thankful.
"Lets fly to the room of requirement",Fee giggled.

"Let's try to find the Room of Requirement!" Kurumi squeaked. That sounded like it would be a lot of fun when floating bubbles were included. Maybe they could fly around the world...

Rose turned and looked up at the sound of a voice. Ech, people were always finding her round here. Especially when she was humming or singing or generally doing something embarassing and probably out of tune. Oh well, though. At least she could make a friend. 'Hi to you too' she said with a grin 'I'm Lily-Rose. But call me Rose... or Lily. But not both together' she said with another smile

'Want some candy?'

Katie smiled at the girl, Candy? yum! "Yes please" Katie said as she took a piece, "I'm Katie Star, nice to meet you" Katie said, after she popped the piece of candy in her mouth, "How are you Lily?" Katie asked.

Rose smiled as the girl - Katie - took the sweet, a sugar quill. Yumm. She popped the end of one into her mouth and sucked it for a second before swallowing. Yay sugar! Hehe. 'Nice to meet you too, Katie. Oh, I'm Riddle. Lily Rose Riddle' she added hastily, remembering that she hadn't told Katie her last name. Not that it was important, she just felt like saying it.

'I'm good, thanks' she said with a smile 'And you?'

"A Riddle" Katie said smiling, there weren't many of them, "So you must know Selena Zabini-Riddle I would think?" Katie said still smiling, Selena was nice.

"I am very good"

Marie was lost in the kiss with Evan so she didn't hear when someone entered the room. All she heard was the beating of her heart, or was it his? It didn't really matter though because in an instant that sound was interrupted by...

DESTINY!

Feeling Evan pull away from her she instantly let go of him and stepped away. What had she done here? Why had she let him kiss her like that? Why did she kiss him back? And why the hell did it feel so good to kiss him? Just because she didn't have a boyfriend right now didn't give her a right to kiss someone else's boyfriend, and that is what Evan is... Mina's boyfriend.

She looked over at Destiny who had her eyes covered, then back to Evan, who was standing there looking at her like he didn't know what to say. "I'm sorry," she whispered to Evan. She knew what she had done was wrong but she couldn't let Destiny know that there had been anything going on there since she did say she didn't see anything. Evan didn't need it getting around that he had kissed someone who was not Mina. That would not be good for him. Especially since that someone was his ex and a friend of Mina's.

Right, some friend she was.

Looking back at Destiny who still had her eyes covered she knew it was time for damage control. "Why are you covering your eyes? Are you playing hide and seek with that chocolate frog over there?"

Really, leave it to Destiny to play with her candy. And leave it to Marie to wiggle her way out of a sticky situation.

Of all the classrooms to pick, Destiny just HAD to pick the one with Marie kissing someone in it. She knew she should have picked the very first room she passed. If only that boy was not sticking his finger in his nose.

Freak. Hogwarts housed freaks.

Standing quite frozen with her hands still over her eyes, she inched her way closer to the door. She had to make a run for it before they snoggers realized she really DID see them kiss and decide to obliviate her. She was pretty sure Marie did not know how to obliviate people, but she wasn't so sure about the boy she was kissing. She continued to inch her way to the door, but hearing Marie speak made her stop in her tracks. Her chocolate frog..was still in the room!?

Sweet!

Slowing moving her hands from her eyes, she finally got a good look at who Marie had been kissing; Evan. Wasn't he dating..no, he couldn't be dating Mina still, or else he wouldn't be kissing Marie. Unless, of course, Evan was under the influence of a love potion. It felt good knowing she, Destiny Shepard had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the whole thing. She laughed a little (on the inside) and not worrying about that runaway chocolate frog anymore, she inched her way to the door again. "Yeah, hide and seek with the chocolate frog." she gave a nervous little laugh. How awkward was this!? "Well, seeing as I found the frog, that means it's my turn to hide, right? Right. So, close your eyes frog, I'm going to hide."

Not even waiting for the frog to close it's eyes, she took the last few steps to the door, opened it and ran out of the classroom.

Maybe she would go back to the nose picking boy.

Oh God. Oh God. Evan held the connection of his forehead and nose, and massaged there. He'd been feeling guilty all along, but the horrible truth finally dawned on him with its full weight: He, Evan Cartwright, had just cheated on someone. He felt horrible. He couldn't believe how he could do that to someone, especially to Mina, whom he cared a hell lot about. How was he going to look at innocent her, and be the same Evan as before? He didn't want to lose her, but couldn't find a way out neither. And with the GREAT feeling of kissing Marie still on his lips, he felt even more horrible than ever. He was dead. He should be dead. There was no way he could live with that shame.

He shook his head slightly when Marie apologised. It wasn't her fault, he was the stupid here. He started it even though he knew it was the wrongest thing to do. He truly hated himself. He didn't even bother to look up when Marie talked to Destiny, who, judging by the sounds, ran out of the class. He had a feeling she'd seen them kissing. And that feeling also told him to talk it over to Marie, and hopefully hear that it had been a dream.

He shifted uneasily in his chair, and stole another peek at her. His brain stopped working, and he couldn't know what to say. He just wanted this to be a horrible dream. Maybe he should run away too. Sighing very stressedly, he ran a hand through his hair again. Why couldn't they just take the time back?!

Hand going to his nose/eye connection point again, he muttered "I think she saw us," with a wild chuckle. He couldn't know what to worry about more--about his own conscience or about Mina learning this whole affair. In either way, he was dead/wanted to be dead, and whatever Marie had to say would do him no good.

Brielle had underestimated this one.

Her first impression was that he was a self-obsessed ego-maniac, but it seemed he had quite a heart, and rather a selfless personality. “All I will zay iz, you zeem to be rather fond of zis Evelyn girl, but zo did your friend, and I am not zure whezer Evelyn knowz what zhe wantz.” Brielle was a girl, a girl who had great intuition, and a keen eye for gossip and relationships, and Josh and Evelyn’s seemed to be rather a dozy.

Now to ballet, “Zere is no female and male pozitionz bezidez zose zat are on pointe,” she demonstrated by Relevé-ing onto her point shoes, and began to Couru on the spot. Return to flat, Brielle moved to the side of Josh, so she was facing his side. She placed her hands on his chest and lower back, pushing in, so to force him to stand straight. “To be a man, requires determination, pazzion, ztrenght. To be a man you must prove you are a man, by ze way you move. For example;” Brielle began a small gallop and produced a perfect grand jette, her legs in perfect parallel to the floor, her arms soft and graceful, both in flight and in landing.

Turning back to Josh, “A girl jettez like zat, where as a boy would be strong in ‘is step. A girl in flight iz a swan, a man in flight itz and awe-inspring eagle! You try!”

Brielle was very passionate about Ballet!

Gaspar noted Hayley's immediate reaction to his arrival and his interaction with Ella. It was actually working, and he wondered if it bothered her, because it seemed like she couldn't speak.

"How have you been Hayley?" he asked, trying to get a conversation started since her boyfriend didn't seem to be much of a talker either. Hehe. What sort of conversations did they have, just staring at each other wordlessly?

Ella half-smiled at Hayley but didn't comment any further. She obviously didn't get her little bit of sarcasm there. Whatevs. Oh great. The 'how are you?' question.
"I'm not bad, thanks. Actually... I seem to be feeling much much better lately." She said with a grin. It was a lie of course, but now that she had a new 'boyfriend', she sort of had to admit that she was happy. And just as she was about to mention him, Gaspar walked into the classroom too.

How coincidental.

"Oh, Gaspar." Ella grinned at him as he put his arm around her. She managed to take a glimpse at Hayley's reaction to this, and it was pretty darn amusing. She couldn't seem to speak. Speechless, it seemed. Heh, okay then, Ella would do the talking. "This is Jayce. He used to date my cousin." She told Gaspar with a smile, then turned to stare expectantly at Jayce. Stupid boy for breaking up with Trixie.

Seeing Hayley suddenly grab Jayce's hand made her snort slightly. Of course, it happened to be a rather audible snort. It was just funny because she obviously took the news badly. In response to that, Ella rested her head on Gaspar's shoulder and sighed, with a smile on her face.

Hayley took a deep breath in and out, loosening her grip on Jayce's hand but kept it there still. She wondered if she had ever told him about Gaspar. Probably not, but she really wasn't sure of herself. She knew she had to keep this 'jealousy' inside of her and then just scream out all tonight, like usual. Mehh.

She looked up at Gaspar with a smile and shrugged. "Oh I'm great actually, fantastic." She said, wanting to hug him but with his arm around Ella would be really awkward.

Hayley noticed for some reason that Ella stated Jayce to be her cousin's boyfriend. She nodded wondering why that would be a problem. She thought they broke up and Jayce would never lie to her, definitley not.

"Ella, sorry to be blunt, but it really is rude to stare. Jayce has done nothing wrong." She stated, looking over at Jayce with a confused look. 'I thought you and Trixie broke up?' She mouthed the words and then looked back at the remaining two, Ella and Gaspar.

Adeline walked in, too see if there was anything going on in there. She filliped her hair back and rolled her eyes around to see if there was anything going on. Nope. Nada.

Adam walked into the room, shaking his head in anger. Why had everything gone downhill ever since Katie had become "best Friends" with Ed. Adam was trying to stay under control but he couldn't. He looked up saw Adeline, and ran out, but he tripped over a desk.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" she laughed in his face obnoxiously.

Marie watched Destiny as she made a run for it out of the room. Right, something was telling her that she really had seen her and Evan kissing. She would just have to corner her about it later and make her swear NOT to tell anyone what she had seen. She did not want this getting back to Mina that Evan had been kissing her. She knew that if Mina found out it would totally break her heart. She couldn't do that to her friend. She did not want to be the cause of any problems with Evan and Mina. She had already caused Evan enough heartache, she didn't want to cause him anymore.

Looking back over at Evan once Destiny was gone Marie seen how miserable he looked sitting there. That's when it really hit her what she had done... she had just kissed someone else's boyfriend... her friends boyfriend. What in the hell had she been thinking letting that happen. She was a terrible friend. Not only to Mina but to Evan too. She should have been strong enough to stop him from making a mistake like that. "Evan... I'm really sorry. I'll talk to Destiny later and find out if she really did see anything. If she did I'll make her promise not to tell anyone. I promise I won't let this get back to Mina." Yes, Mina was the one here who needed to have her feelings spared.

"Again...."Adam held his wand tightly in his hand, ready to play any trick on her if she kept laughing.Maybe he would make her eyebrows into a thick and durry unibrow. Haha, evil.

Adeline laughed even harder. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" and she imataded him and when she pretended to trip, she tripped even worse.

There, when she least expected it, when she tripped, Adam flicked his wand and her eyebrow hairs began to grow out, and then both sides attached to each other. Adam was doubled over with laughter. What a great way to end it all, bushy eyebrows and Adeline tripping onto the floor.

Adeline sighed when she thought he casted a healing charm and stood up with a smile and laughed back. Then she feel back to the floor again and grabbed her ankle and said. "Don't laugh this KILLS!" with fury in her eyes as her big puffy uni-brown pointing in a v.

"Scoundrol...Don't tell me what to do...."Adam said throught fits of laughter. "and I'm not telling you the reverse charm."He said, slowly walking out the classroom.

"Fine then." she yelled at him laying there with tears in her eyes. "Please do go to ther healers office I think its broken!" she said and started to cry really hard.

Evan, upon hearing Marie talk, finally found the courage to look up at her. She looked like a mess too. Pfft. When would she stop apologising?! She did almost nothing wrong; she was let down by Carter, and couldn't have possibly realised what he was doing anyway. It was all his fault, he was the one to be blamed fully. He sighed once again, it felt as if he was having his life's sighs today. Shaking his head, he tried to reassure her. "Don't be silly, I'm the one who is responsible here. I kissed you. I don't deserve her..." He hoped that it wouldn't go to Mina from someone else. If she had to know, she should know from him.

Closing his eyes for a moment, he opened them to face Marie. "I'm an idiot," he said, more to himself than to her. Yeah, why was he still here? Why didn't he just hide for the rest of his life?

Why was Evan so insistent on trying to make her believe she did nothing wrong here? Marie knew that what she did was wrong, no matter how many times Evan told her it wasn't her fault. It was... it was as much her fault as it was his. She was by no means innocent here. "I'm just as responsible as you are. In case you didn't realize it, I did kiss you back." and I enjoyed it too. What is he thinking now? "Evan, don't say that. You do deserve Mina. I know she makes you happy and you deserve to be happy." Merlin knows that after all she had put him through in the past two years the boys definitely deserved some happiness.

"Will you stop it already!" she said when he called himself an idiot. "You are NOT an idiot. You're a guy who is missing his girlfriend like crazy. A guy who tried to comfort his crazy ex-girlfriend friend." A friend who is stupid enough to think she could kiss her ex-boyfriend who was now dating her friend Carter would eventually want her back...

Maybe it really was time she moved on. Carter was making it pretty clear to her now that he still didn't want anything to do with her.

Evan cocked his head to one side while shaking it. He wasn't buying that. Of course Marie was wrong by kissing him back, but she wasn't really thinking, was she, after Carter's all of actions? And the fact that he enjoyed the kiss didn't help him at all. He felt awful enough, and the feeling of her kiss still lingering on his lips... He had to laugh a little wildly at her next comment. "But I don't make her happy," he stated the obvious. No girl would be happy about being cheated on, especially such a girl like Mina... yes, it was better for everyone that he just disappeared again or something.

Oh, please. She shouldn't lie just to comfort him now. Shaking his head once again, he fired back "Wise boyfriends don't kiss other girls, do they?" No, on the contrary, they didn't even talk to other girls while they were away. But what did he do?! Kissed a different girl, who happened to be his ex, the very person Mina wanted him to stay away from. Both of his arms on his knees, he leaned on to hide his face into his hands for a moment before going on.

"Debating who is what isn't really helpful," he said, finally gaining some of his wit. They had to clarify where this... incident led them, and whether to keep it as a secret. Looking directly into her eyes, he waited for her to say something--anything as advice.

"Seriously, you don't think you make her happy? Have you not seen how the girl acts around you? I've never seen her look more happy than when she is with you Evan... or when she talks about you." How could he not see that he was the reason Mina was happy now?

"You know what, this has nothing to do with being wise. This has to do with you missing Mina... which you obviously do. For all I know you could have been picturing Mina in your head when you were kissing me." Which would mean technically he wasn't cheating on her. Unlike her who was not picturing Carter at the time.

"Look, I can tell you are worried about what Mina is going to think but really, there is no need to worry. She doesn't have to know what happened. No one has to know." Well except Destiny who had walked in on them. But Marie would know how to shut her up if she tried telling anyone. She would just remind her of her little kissing spree with Carter, and tell her she would spread that around the school. Yeah, that would shut the girl up. "When we walk out of this room we can act as if nothing ever happened. We can leave everything right here."

What happens in classroom eleven stays in classroom eleven.

Evan shifted uneasily in his chair again. Sure, even blind people could see how Mina was happy around him, but he didn't think that she'd still remain the happiest person in the world if she learnt that he'd cheated on her with Marie. On the contrary, she'd have every reason to dump him, and he didn't want that happen because like Marie said, he was extremely happy with her too. "I don't think she'll take it too happily if she learns that I've cheated on her," he voiced his thoughts. He didn't even have to add 'with you', Marie knew all about her worries concerning him and particularly her. And apparently the clever 'claw had been right--he really should have stayed away from Marie, which he'd pretty much failed at for the past two years.

He looked down. He had pictured Mina at first, until Marie touched him. After that, all he could think about was their past and the feeling that they could be happy again. The sound of the hint that he might not be that much guilty was very nice though, and he knew better than to admit he had pictured Mina at first, so he opted to just stare at the floor on that. He didn't want to hurt her feelings, and shatter his hopes of proving out to be as innocent as a cheater could be.

Upon hearing her suggestion though, he had to look up with big eyes. Was she implying that this should remain as a secret? He blinked in shock, trying to digest that. "So should I just lie into her face?" he said in shock. There was no way he could do it--he'd already committed a shame, and he wasn't going to add a second. "She deserves to know..." he muttered, though one could easily tell that he was completely freaked out with the idea that she might dump him. Why couldn't they just take the past back?!

UGH! I fail. I need sleep.
 

"Lie? It's not a lie if you don't say anything at all. It's more keeping a secret." A really big secret. Why was he making this so difficult? They had made a mistake, a really huge mistake but there was nothing they could do about it now except move on. "Why would you want to tell her? It will only hurt her and it's not like it's going to happen again." she trailed off. No, she would not let Evan make a mistake like that again, not with her anyway. Even if it meant she had to stay away from him. Just because her life was miserable didn't mean she had to make his that way too.

"It's not like you intentionally cheated on her, it was a mistake, something that just happened. You just had a lapse in judgement, that's all." Yeah, it had to be a lapse in judgement otherwise why else would he want to kiss her? "Again, I'm not going to say anything to anyone but it is up to you if you want Mina to find out. You do what your heart tells you to do. As for me, my heart says don't go running your mouth and getting Evan in trouble for something he didn't do." She sat there looking him in the eyes now. She didn't know if any of what she was saying was getting through to him at all or not. She hoped it was because she really didn't know what else to say.

"Oh right, eet ees a pleasure to meet you." Gaspar said in a polite manner holding out his hand for the boy to shake. That's all the interaction that the two males had to have with each other really.

He was just being polite so that the didn't cause a scene in front of Hayley. When Ella rested her head on his shoulder, Gaspar kissed her hair and smiled down at her for a moment before looking back to the couple in front of them.



"I am glad to hear dat you are vell." Gaspar responded to Hayley with a smirk. He kept his silence as Ella and her had a bit of a conversation about Jayce and his recently breaking up with Ella's cousin Trixie.

He saw her mouth something to Jayce and then spoke up. "She said dat he used to date her cousin, not dat they vere still dating."

Evan looked pretty unsure, even though Marie tried to comfort him that it wasn't lying. Part of him--a huge part, for sure--wanted to believe her that it really wasn't lying. But, on the other hand, his conscience was pretty uncomfortable and he knew for sure that it was lying. She trusted him, after all, and he had just betrayed that trust. Simple as that.

He looked up at Marie again when she said it would only hurt her. That part was 2,500% true--it'd devastate her. And he, for sure, didn't want to do such a thing. He sighed. "It's happened once, and I think that's enough." He gave a little, wild laugh as he looked away. And now, he had messed with Marie's life too. Because she had just broken up with Jerk-ter, and she also didn't know what she was doing while it all happened... yeah, he had to apologise from her too. Right after he solved this crisis.

Sighing, he asked "If I told her... how d'you think she would take it? Like, would she believe it would never happen again and that I wasn't really thinking?" He had been thinking, actually, quite well, but like Marie said--he was thinking how much he missed her.

And yeah, a little about Marie.

*feels overwhelmed* Too. Many. Quotes. *dies*
 

Jayce smiled at Hayley, his new girlfriend but they were interrupted as Ella came into the room. The gryffindor threw her a genuine smile as she entered, "Um, thanks." he said awkwardly. But then she glared at him, and he felt uncomfortable, and the whole 'I hate myself' attitude flared up for a moment. Didn't she get that he had never meant to hurt her cousin? Things, uncontrollable things, always seemed to happen to him.

The fifth year frowned, and couldn't look the slytherin in the eyes. He sorta refused to. But just then, another person had joined them. A male this time, and someone he had never met before. Just as he was about to introduce himself, it was done for him by Ella. AWKWAARD. He took the boy's hand, who he noted to be Gaspar, and shook. "Nice to meet you as well." he smiled.

STARE STARE.

Errrr... he could feel the burn of Ella's stare on him, which made him feel even more uncomfortable. He felt like he was on a roller coaster. Comfortable, then not. Then Hayley intervened and he was grateful for it.

Uhhh.. Whut? He turned back to Hayley and spoke in her ear. "Of course not. You should know that." he smiled.

Hayley watched as Gaspar kissed Ella and her heart secretly yearned to be Ella at that very moment, but she knew it would be wrong. She slightly frowned and took her eyes away from the disgusting sight of Ella and Gaspar.

"Yes I'm ver-" She said being cut off as Gaspar smirked at her. Oh now she knew that he was just doing this on purpose, she tried as hard as she could not to blush, she refocused back on Jayce that very instant and was relieved. Thank you lord she didn't blush, but now Jayce was probably wondering why she looked back at him. 'Never mind' she mouthed the words to him and mentally smacked herself, turning back to Ella and Gaspar.

"I know that, it just seems like Ella knows something that we all don't know and that it's bothering her or something like that." Hayley shrugged at Gaspar.

Hayley felt relieved as Jayce answered her question. "And as you know this is my boyfriend, Jayce." She said smiling back at Jayce and then taking his hand. Taking his hand, to show everyone that they truly were together and that way she knew he was there, that way she wouldn't be pounded into the ground by Gaspar and Ella's 'love'. "So when did you two get together?" She asked curiously.

Ella watched as Gaspar held out his hand for Jayce. Hm. She would understand if inside his head, he was going mental. But no, keeping it cool, of course. What a great guy.
As he kissed her hair, Ella giggled maniacally. Giggling wasn't her thing, but it created a better illusion. Hehh. If there was a noble prize for who was the best pair of actors in the world, Gaspar and Ella would win, no contest.

And now Gaspar and Hayley were talking about Ella as if she wasn't even there. Now seemed like the perfect time to butt in, "...yes, he WAS dating my cousin..." Past tense there. Merlin, paranoia Hayley.. "I was just wondering what happened? 'Cause she was reaaaaally upset, you know." Once again, she looked over at Jayce, obviously trying to make him feel bad.

Ella blinked at Hayley. Maybe her awesome acting skills were going a little over board? "I dunno what you're on about, I know nothing. And nothing's bothering me. Apart from my cousin being dumped on the ground while Mr. Jayce here floats around like a happy-chappy." Not exactly fair. To be honest, she usually wouldn't have a care in the world about Trixie's love life. But she was really upset about her break up with Jayce... and, well.. Ella had nothing better to do.

Heeeeehe :mwaha: Questions about the loverly new couple. Time to over-exaggerate things.
"We haven't been together for very long." Her mood brightened up a bit, and she took Gaspar's hand into her own, much like what Hayley had just done with Jayce. "But we clicked straight away, and now we're like a match made in heaven.... aren't we?" She beamed up at Gaspar.

*Sigh*
Ella wanted to go home now.

Marie could tell by the look on Evan's face that he wasn't believing anything she said right now. "Look Evan, I really don't know what she is going to think or believe. All I do know is that Mina likes you a lot and I don't want things between the two of you to go bad just because of me. If you insist on telling her you need to think about how you are going to do it. I have a feeling if you do though it is going to take a LOT for you to gain her trust back" Marie knew that if she was in Mina's shoes it would take a lot for her to believe him. Heck, it took a lot for her to believe there was nothing going on with him and Fallon... and there really wasn't anything going on there.

Evan waved an impatient hand at Marie's words to cut her off. "Let's get this straight--you did nothing wrong. OK? It was my decision to kiss you." Really, he hated to see Marie blame herself. She was heartbroken too, and surely his mind was more clearer than hers. He only missed Mina, after all, while she had to deal with Jerk-ter. Then, making sure she got his point, he continued on with a shake of his head. "I can't think of any way that ensures she doesn't lose her faith in me. But I also have a feeling she should know." Well, that was for sure, she needed to know. It was just a matter of how. Looking over Marie, he expected her to say something. She was the girl, she knew better, considering he sucked at explaining things.

GAH!

Why was Evan so determined to take all the blame here. Marie knew she was just as much at fault as he was. "Yes, it was your decision to kiss me but it was also MY decision to kiss you back. The truth is we are both at fault here." she said. "I however have nothing to lose, I have no boyfriend to care about what I do. You on the other hand have someone who cares about you. Don't screw that up. Kissing me isn't worth you losing a great girl." Marie felt the tears stinging her eyes. It finally hit her... Carter really had broken up with her. Not only that but he couldn't even stand to be around her for more than two minutes at a time.

"I really don't know what to tell you to say to her." she said wiping away the tears. "Whatever you tell her though you are going to have to prove to her that she means a lot to you, that you want no one other than her. Even if that means you telling her you won't be friends with me anymore." Yeah, Marie had a feeling that if Mina found this out she was going to lose a friend for sure. Well two friends actually... Evan and Mina.

Yeah, her year was just getting better and better here.

Just as Evan opened his mouth to say something back, he saw her eyes water. Aww... he hated to see her like that. Dragging his chair next to her--which took a little effort since he had to push back another desk--he threw his right arm over her and pulled her towards him for her to lean on. "He's not worth it, Marie," he tried to comfort her, with an annoying voice telling him he sucked at it once again. "Do you want me to beat him?" And he was pretty serious there, he could beat him. And for a time he thought they could be friends... hmpf. He should have listened to his inner voice that said this was only a stunt.

Looking into her eyes thougthfully, he tried to figure out something to say to Mina. It was going to be hard, he knew it. Frowning, he said "I'm not going to stop being friends with you." Nope, that friendship took a lot from him to gain, and he wasn't going to just let it go unlike Marie who had given up on him so easily for Jerk-ter.

Marie felt like her life was literally falling apart here. Feeling Evan put his arm around her she put her head on his shoulder. Choosing to ignore Evan's comment about Carter not being worth it she sat up when he asked her if she wanted him to beat Carter. "No I don't want you to beat him. What good would that do anyway? It's not like it would nake him want me back." If anything that would probably push him even further away from her. Not that he could get much further than he already was.

Now she couldn't believe what she was hearing. He wouldn't stop being friends with her if it meant saving his realtionship with Mina. "Thanks, that means a lot to hear you say that," she said as she gave him a little hug. YEah, he was a better friend than she was. "But really, if it comes down to you choosing, you better choose her."

Evan tried to hide his surprise when Marie indicated she still wanted him. Swallowing, he asked as softly as possible "You can't possibly still want him, can you?" Seriously, the guy had abandoned her inside the school. Who could like such a jerk? Well, she shouldn't have fallen for him in the first place, but things happened like their recent moments. He could only hope that she would move on fast, because that idiot wasn't even worth a second chance.

He let himself smile a little when he got a hug. Then, looking at her in surprise once more, he asked "Why do you think so?" with a very intrigued voice. He really wanted to know why Marie seemed to think Mina was better for him than herself.
