"I wouldn't get tired of you...How could I ever get tired of my first best friend, who's my friend and half my girlfriend..."He giggled, yeah that came out worded wrong...

"Says the guy who a month or so back said that we should try to make different friends," she laughed titling her head to the right slightly.

Ehh.. why did he want a break from her? Well, technically he was on a break from her. He was broken up with her. "Oh, uhm.. well, we broke up, so..." Awkward. Cue the 'I told ya so.' At least he was getting this out of the way now, and it'd set things up well for him to tell her what he really wanted to say.

Aiden frowned slightly as she told him she was generally okay, but a bit 'down.' Noo, he didn't like her being sad. But he didn't say so.. she'd just remind him that he was part of the reason why she felt like that. She flipped the question back to him and he gave a shrug. "I've been okay, too." He smiled weakly. "Just, you know... floating around."

... O.O

She and Gaspar didn't work out? As in... they were no longer dating? How did he not find out about this?! Well.. he hadn't really seen Gaspar around school lately, but Aiden simply had pinned that to the fact that he didn't really want to see him. "When did this happen?" He tried to contain the optimism that suddenly became present in his tone. "So, this means you're single then?" Please. Say. Yes.

o_O
"You broke up?" She asked, even if she heard him perfectly well. Ella's mind ran in circles. Did Aiden break up with her because he fell in love with her? It would be shocking for that to happen, but that was the only reason she could think of. What if he loved Savannah more than her?
"Let me guess... your relationship got too serious?" She asked calmly. She didn't want to make it seemed like she cared or anything.

Nod nod. "Cool." She chuckled at his 'floating around' comment. "I've been doing that too actually." They were floating buddies, if she remembered rightly. But they hadn't been doing too much floating around together lately. Hm.

Still looking away from him, Ella sighed. "About a week ago. He just disappeared." She shrugged. "I don't care too much though, we weren't too serious." And to be honest, his accent was starting to annoy her.
Woah, that question was a little bit out there. Ella looked back at Aiden and held back a grin. "Yep. I guess we are both single." Ella and Aiden were both single. That didn't work. They should be together. Those twoooooooo! Gah.

"Mhmm." Aiden matted his hair down a few times and dropped his hand to his lap. It was kind of strange, though; he wasn't even upset about the break-up, or about what Savannah had done to him. When Ella asked if it was because the relationship got too serious, he shook his head. "Nope. She cheated on me over Christmas break, and apparently I didn't give her enough attention." Which, considering she had been his girlfriend, she was right about that. "But I don't know.. you can't really get that enthusiastic about a relationship when you're in love with someone else." His eyes wandered over to her.

Aiden smiled. "I think that's partly why we became 'social butterflies.' Because of the floating around." Hahh. What weirdos they were.

Well, this was great news. heheh. Not that Gaspar wasn't a nice person - Aiden was sure he probably was - but that boy needed to get out of the picture. "He didn't give you a reason for leaving?" That was odd.. Oho, naileddd itttt. They were both single. "Good, because..." Erm... should he go on right now, or would it be too soon after this Gaspar kiddo? He let the two words hang in the air for a moment.

"Oh right." YESYESYES. This was the news that Ella had been waiting for, although surprisingly, it took her by surprise. Especially when he went into details. "She did WHAT?!" How could anyone cheat on Aiden? He was too lovely. But Savannah.... the girl who was stupidly obsessed with the guy??! Ridiculous. "I'm sorry to hear that..." But really, Aiden didn't look like he even cared.
'in love with someone else.'
O_O
"Right, yeah. That makes sense then.." She wasn't looking at him whilst she spoke. Cos it was awkward, although his words did make her heart thud like crazy.

Ella laughed. Cleverrr Aiden. "Very true! But, I haven't been much of a social butterfly these days." Although she wished that she would be. Being social was funner than being boring and doing nothing all day. Sigh.
"So I guess I'm a social caterpillar again."

"Nope." She shook her head. "I just heard that he... left." Cor, Ella really could pick 'em. "Just goes to show that he wasn't the great guy I thought he was." Obviously, if he wanted to leave, then he could. But he didn't even let Ella know! Or say goodbye... Sheeeeeeesh.
Ella waited for him to continue. But it seemed that Aiden had began a sentence but decided not to finish it. Urm, that would not be acceptable. "Because....?" She repeated.

Heh, whoa. Ella seemed so surprised. Maybe Aiden had just kinda seen it coming, after Savannah flirted so openly and stupidly on the twitter thing. It was as if Twitter had suddenly become flirt central, and it was pretty weird.. O.o. "Yeah, it's whatever," he shrugged. He looked at her when she said she was sorry to hear that. Did that mean she didn't mind them together? Whuut? Nuuuu. And then she wouldn't look at him either, and he just got even more paranoid that she wasn't feeling the same way. He cleared his throat. "Right.. anyway..."

He chuckled. "I think we've both regressed to the social caterpillar stage again," he commented. He'd met one or two new people, but not nearly enough to be a 'butterfly.'

Okay, that's really strange. "That sucks," he stated, simply. "It's weird that he didn't tell you, but maybe he'll write to you or something. Explain it to you in a letter." It was always easier to say important things through writing than to say it verbally.. or at least Aiden thought so. She prodded him to finish his sentence, and he figured he might as well say it now. Now or neverrrr. "Because.. I still have feelings for you." It felt like there was some huge pause after that and he quickly continued just to break it. "I don't know how you feel anymore, and I mean.. I'm not expecting anything. I was just a total numbskull," heh. Numbskull. "And I was a wimp and I should have never broken things off between us." He cracked his knuckles against the ground, and searched her face for a reaction. Oh, lordy. He swallowed again. "I still want you."

Fee walked into the room of requirement.
She needed a place for her own,just to think about everything that had happened yesterday.
Adam and Edmond were no longer friends and that was because of her.
Her and the outburst of loving someone.
Pfffffffft. She'd better lock her heart and never tell anyone about it again.

Taylor was walking down the corridor. She suddenly saw Fee- "Fee!" she shouted. "Hun, are you alright?" she asked concerned, as she caught up with her.

"It's whatever...?" Ella repeated, feeling slightly amused. "I'm under the impression that Savannah was a rebound." And that was a great comfort to her. Maybe her little plan with Gaspar was a little bit pointless on her part? Eh, what.ever.
She chuckled along with him. Woot at the caterpillar stage. "We are a total disgrace." A total social disgrace to society. Sigh.

"Yeah, he might. I dunno. But I ain't going to be so forgiving." Ella really didn't care. But she soon understood why Aiden kept bugging her about it. To him, hers and Gaspar's relationship was real. In fact, seeing how this conversation was going, maybe Ella should come clean and tell him the truth?? Hmm....

What he said next completely took her by surprise. It had been WEEKS, almost months since they were together, and he was coming out with all of this now??! Ella stared. Wow. There was a pause, and Ella opened her mouth to speak, but then he said more. 'I still want you.' Squee. It was pretty obvious that she was bewildered, and her expression was totally blank throughout his little speech.
After sitting in a long trance for a moment, Ella shook it off and came back to reality. Cos really, Aiden couldn't just dump her, break her heart, then suddenly change his mind. Nope, it didn't work like that lovey.
".... I see." Is that all she could say? Ugh, here comes the fireworks 'cause Ella was going to play hard to get.
"Well... I'm glad you admit to being a numbskull, but I don't really know what to say to you... I've spent the past few weeks trying to get over you for Merlin's sake.." She shook her head, trying to keep cool. Really, she just wanted to agree and let them both be happy happy again. But how would THAT make her look..?

"And I'm also glad that you aren't expecting anything, because I think it's too late for all of this." That was bloomin' difficult to say. Ella was almost certain that this wouldn't last for long. Aiden Chevalier wanted to be with her again. That's what she had been dreaming about in these past few weeks. She was going to snap any second., and she looked at him uncertainly.

Giving him a playful nudge with her shoulder, Cosette let out a small laugh. She couldn't lie, he was definitely the most handsome. To bad she was bad last term and got kicked out, she could heave spent some more time with him back at Beauxbatons. She only hoped he hadn't heard of her wicked conquests. If he did.. well, he didn't show it. "But ov courze you are ze mozt handzome!" She stuck her tongue out at him, even though they were so close. She was being silly. And utterly unlike herself. "Don't worry, amour. You can play for me anozer time. Maybe by ze lake or zomething." The lake sounded rather nice.

She gave a little chuckle, almost imagining what she would look like in a bunny costume. She had a feeling he was thinking the same thing. With the ears, the cotton tail and probably a cute tutu skirt, she would never take herself seriously if she even was trying to teach him something. "Maybe I will wear one juzt for fun, oui? No teaching involved." Smiling, she put her hands up, as if she had paws and tilted her head to the side. What else did bunnies do? Thinking for a moment, she smiled and wrinkled her nose. Yes, they did that thing with there noses. "Do I make a good bunny?"

She made sure the rest of his hair was fine, and it was, before smiling and admiring his nicely fixed coif. "Good. I wazn't going to get up anywayz." No, she was far to content with sitting on his lap right now. If she could compare this to anything, it was like getting full marks on a paper and getting extra credit. Just instead she was sitting in the lap of one gorgeous guy who was everything she wanted in a guy. And it was unsettling that he was real. Stretching her arms out, she let out a sigh, wrapping her arms around his neck once more. "Even if you begged, I would not get up. I am way to comfortable." She smiled, shimmying herself a little bit to show she was comfy.

His skin was something she wanted to touch over and over again. Yes, she had been with far many guys before, practically hooked up with half the girls boyfriends at Beauxbatons. Not to mention a few guys at the Ministry, around Bordeaux and already some here at Hogwarts. All of that changed when she met him though. Strange as it seemed, but she felt like just being here with him, her wants would change in an instant. Blinking her eyes a few times, she realized what had been plaguing her. She liked him. She genuinely liked him.

She rolled her eyes, twirling a finger in circles on the nape of his neck. She would pack up all her things in her draw string bag and head anywhere if he wanted. It was so strange of her to even think that, let alone admit it! Her mouth turned into a smile. She didn't care if this was all to new to her. The feelings, the genuine attraction. She wanted to feel it, and with him. "Ah, I will be a willing captive. I won't even zcream." She giggled, thinking of the countryside image again. Still, it was an attractive thought.

The kiss deepened and she felt him slide from the pillows, making her press up even closer to his hard chest. Bracing herself, she moved her hands to both were resting on his chest, feeling the contours of his muscles holding himself up and his strong arms around her. Her lips worked to kiss him even more, feeling herself let down her guard and just let the sensation waft over her, something she had never really done before. It felt good and new and different. His hands entangled in her hair and she could feel the strange feeling in her brain, almost making her pull away and shudder at how amazing it felt.

When she felt his fingers run up and touch her neck, the heat of his fingertips sent her hair straight up. It was like liquid fire had entered her veins. She deepened the kiss only slightly, until he pulled away and she felt like she was in a desert and needed water. She wanted to kiss him more, but her head rolled to the side and then back, feeling the odd sensation of his fingers on her neck once more. Why did it feel so good?

Regaining that she was still in the fake library room, she closed her eyes and let in a few ragged and needed breaths. "..Noel?" She breathed, not knowing if she had dreamt all that feeling or that he was actually there. "Dites-moi que vous avez ressenti cela aussi." If he did, then he should know that she had never felt that in her life. He needed to know how she felt.

"Mmyeah. It's whatever." Whatever was such an excellent word. It was so vague, and yet somehow descriptive enough to get some sort of point across. Whatever. "That we are. Utterly disgraceful," he grinned. They were only sixteen and seventeen, though; they had years to improve their state of sociability.

"Yeah, good. You shouldn't be.." 'Cause, frankly, Aiden just didn't want any chance of those two getting back together. He didn't want anyone getting together with her, actually. Except HIM. Hehh... so selfish.

Phew. At least his part was done and now it was her turn to talk. Ehh.. oh, no. Her expression remained completely untouched, as if none of what he said even mattered. They could have been talking about the weather for Merlin's sake. This did not look promising. "I see..?" That was all she was going to give him. Okay, she was continuing.

But what she was saying really wasn't what he wanted to hear. "But I made a mistake.. a huge one, but still.. give me one more chance.." He was human! That meant he was stupid sometimes. His eyes pleaded with her, and he turned so he could see her better. "I swear, I'll buy you a gigantic Pink Pearl eraser and we can erase all of it. My feelings for you have never wavered." He was trying to emphasize all this. Gahhhh.

And then her next comment hit him like a brick wall.

...

Literally, he felt like he couldn't move. Some shivery, weird feeling had crept up his spine and paralyzed his entire body. She didn't want him. She didn't love him.. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. When he finally was able to speak, his voice cracked. "Please..?" His mouth was dry and his throat was barely working; this was all that would emanate from him.

He couldn't not be with her.

"Well.. that's settled then." She said with an almost-smile. Duh, it was awesome news that they broke up. Best news she had received in ages, actually. Ella laughed. "Ohh, I've missed you, Chevalier." Technically, she missed everything about him, but especially those random, freaky conversations they always seemed to have. Hehe.
Ella shook her head and smirked. Of course Aiden would agree with that. He clearly didn't like Gaspar.

'A gigantic Pink Pearl eraser'? ... Really? "I'd prefer a gigantic chocolate frog, thanks." She mumbled with a pout. It wasn't a time for jokes, but really, a chocolate frog would be good. Bleh, why oh why did she make a fool out of herself all the time? "Um, just forget that I said that, kay?" Awkwardness aside, she hoped...

The whole craziness and suddenness of this conversation still had caught Ella by surprise. Her heart was still pounding naturally, and it seemed to click that Aiden was actually being serious. She looked down at her shoes, taking any opportunity to avoid his eyes. Why? She wasn't sure. HE should be the one avoiding her eyes, as this was all his fault after all.
"I don't know.. if I can believe you." She said uncomfortably. Who's to say that he wouldn't wimp out again?

Hearing his cracked voice saying 'please', made her blue eyes turned upwards to meet his equally blue eyes. She looked at him with a defeated expression. Defeated. Just like she knew would happen. And not even thinking about it, she kissed him.

Merlin's Beard..

It was settled all right.

He grinned at her and folded his arms. "Oh yeah? Well I've missed you too, Ainsworth." Somehow they had gotten onto this last name basis, but he'd roll with it. Just so long as he didn't call her Eleanor, things would be dandy.

Pfft. Ella would say that. She and her chocolate frogs. In fact, he believed he spotted a basketful of them when he walked in here.. it was the Room of Requirement, after all, and Ella seemed to always want those candies. "Ditched the lollipops altogether, you sweettooth?" Heh. "But an eraser would be handy, you know. You could use that for your drawings and all." Mhmmm. Kill two birds with one stone. Forget she said all that? Yeah riiiight. Weird conversation was normal conversation, for them.

Right, so she still wasn't looking at him. Meh. He waited for her to speak, and when she finally did, it was only further disappointment. "I promise, you can believe me," he rushed, his hand going to hers without him even thinking. He looked down at their hands, wanting to simply keep it there, but he took it away. "My dad left a while ago or whatever, and that's just kept me from getting too close to people ever since." He really didn't want to even bring it up, but he had to at least attempt to make her realize that he hadn't just dumped her whimsically. "I mean, I know that's a stupid reason, but you have to remember that I'm stupid, right?" Aiden smiled a little, trying to make light of it somehow.

Finally. She met his eyes. He still felt all frozen, and it was beginning to feel like he was waiting hours for something to happen. For her to say something, or..

.. Do something.

When her lips met his, the freeze-mode instantly melted away and he pulled her closer. This was how it should be. Aiden and Ella.

He didn't pull back.

"Ohh, hi Tay", Fee said in a quiet tone,"could be better thanks."
Fee was incredebly pale but not because she was sick.
"What about you?"

"Oh... what's wrong?" Taylor asks kindly, leading Fee to a nearby stone bench. She sits down fiddling with her charm bracelet. "I'm good" she says, smiling- she'd just been thinking about Alex is why. "You look really pale- worse than me when i'm not tanned!" she says with a giggle.

Freya walked around the seventh floor and saw a door appeared. Hmm..Where this door go?Curious she opened the door and saw a rather cozy room. This must be the Room of Requirement. She saw someone already there. "Feeeeeeeeee.." she said cheerfully and give her besties a hug. "How are you?You look down. Are you okay?" she asked.

"Its just i am causing trouble in Edmonds life",Fee sighed.
She didnt want to bring Taylor down, she was all happy with Alex and Fee felt happy for them.

"I see you are good", she winked,"all lovey dovey."
Haha! Now she could tease Taylor as much as she did with her.

"Oh really", Fee said a little shocked,"maybe i just need a tan."

Fee smiled weakly as she heard Freya's voice. This must be fate, that the two were in the same room.
She hugged her bestie back and patted the free space next to her.

"I am okay, i guess", she said,"its just that everything was perfect, almost too perfect and now everything is shaddered.What about you?"

"I doubt you are. Usually it's the boys causing the trouble." she says with a smile- she blushed slightly. "Yeah..." she said playing with her curls and smiling. "Ha, yeah, it takes a while to get a tan this pefect though" she says, pointing at her legs- tanned to perfection, not tacky tan either!

Fee would try to tan but she wasnt pale because she didnt tan. She felt sick, really sick.

"His best made likes me..", she said in a quite tone,"its my fault."

Freya took a seat next to Fee. "Well I'm fine." she said. "Shuddered? How come?Wanna talk about it?" she asked.

Well, duh. Course he missed her. "We both know who's to blame though." Really, there was no need for that jab at Aiden, but it was the truth. Merlin. She smiled, just to make sure that he didn't take it the wrong way. That was the past now, and hopefully it would stay in the past.

"Actually... I have been eating lots of carrot sticks too. But obviously, I need sweety goodness occasionally." Ella needed to clarify this, to prove that she wasn't a chocoholic freak, and to bring up her unhealthy lifestyle. Not that her drawings needed a lot of erasing, it sounded like an okay bargain. "Then I guess you can buy me an eraser and a chocolate frog." Ohyesh. Ella wormed herself into that one. Mwwahaaha.

His words went right past her, instead of listening, she looked down at their hands that were now holding. It sent a little shiver down her spine.... then he took it away. Darn. Aw. "Oh. I had no idea, Aiden. I'm sorry." Maybe if he used this reasoning during the break up, then she wouldn't have taken it so harshly. "You are stupid, but that isn't a stupid reason." Smiling, Ella took his hand again. There, lovely.

Even if her 'playing hard to get' plan didn't work out too well, at least they both finally got what they wanted. Which was each other. The kiss lingered on for a while, but that was expected. This hadn't happened for ages. With her eyes closed, she finally pulled back but stayed close. She needed a moment to take this all in. When she first saw Aiden here today, she hadn't expected any of this to happen. At all. Eventually, her eyes opened and she looked up at him. Staring.

Sentimental moment over, Ella leaned back a bit and thwacked him in the side. "See? Is it so difficult to love moi?" She smirked up at him. This moment right here proved that the entire break up was a waste of time, and waste of all that suffering. Finally feeling comfortable around Aiden again, Ella snuggled closely to him.

Fee sighed again. Oh an this was messed up. Really.
"Edmond's best mate has a crush on me", Fee told her bestie.
It was still weird for her to say it.
"And he ruined like the perfect moment."

Freya blinked a few times after hearing what Fee told her. "How so?Didn't he know that you and Edmond already together?" she asked rather confused. Why would Edmond's best mate do that?

"He did know", she sighed,"he comforted me when this whole Katie thing started.And yesterday he just told me he liked me as in as girlfriend."

Fee burried her face in her hands. This was not good. To many people were involved.
Her.Adam.Kurumi.Edmond.
