Ok, so she finally had this game figured out. That was exactly what this whole thing was.A game. And Rhea was in it to win it or well him. She just a had a few pawn she needed to get rid of..*Cossettcough* But until then she would continue moving the pawns around the board. Wow, her own thoughts sounded so strange to her. She was a completely different girl from last year. Completely different and she owed half of that to Sav and the rest to Mr.Sexy sitting across from her. She would thank him later, much later.She tossed her hair over her shoulder with a slight shake of her head.
"So what if I do? You're not going to deny me a kiss now are you?"She asked with a playful smile on her lips.

She smiled as he played with her hair now. She was right it was relaxing. Then her thoughts strayed to Noel. She wondered what he was doing. Probably off studying somewhere. She had a jogging date with him only hours before she ran into Jack, early that morning an then she was meeting up with Jermaine later for their scarf date. Noel had intrigued her greatly. He was smart, sweet and sexy and his lips..mmm. She should have kissed him that time when she had the chance but Rhea did NOT kiss random guys that she didn't like like. Nuff said. Rhea laughed then shook her head at him.
"Do you expect me to take your words for it Riding? The proof is in the pudding." Well in the kiss really.

Running down through the corridor Daisy didn't pay attention to anyone or anything. A note was clutched in her hand and tears ran down her face. Lies, she wanted to scream but she bit down on her bottome lip and ran.

Reserved for Professor Snape and Ari :)
 

Preston wasn't sure where he was going, he had absolutely no idea where he was now, but he didn't mind the fact he had lost himself once again. He stopped for a second realizing his shoelaces had become untied once again and sat down in the middle of the corridor to tie his shoes.

Tying one converse covered foot he turned to the other one. He tied the white shoelaces to the blue converse and began to stand up. His attention was averted to a shiny purple bell. He crawled over the stone floor of the corridor to the bell and sat there. He picked it up and held it up in the light and gave it a little shake.

"N-n-nice!" Preston smiled, thinking it looked like a cat bell for a cat, perfect accessory for Ringo his pet raccoon who just happened to act like a cat. Preston sat there in the middle of the corridor playing with the purple bell without a care in the world.

Iris looked at Josh as he said that he didn't want her badge anymore. GAH. Testosterone made humans SO confusing. It had to be that. *nod*Which was exactly why BOYS were so much more confusing than girls.

Ooooh. Iris looked at Josh, eyes wide with curiousity. She liiiiiked interesting things. And she wanted to know what it was. "Why.... What've you suddenly got that's interesting?" She folded her arms across her chest and smirked back at him. "More interesting than my prefect badge, I mean."

Hehe.

Adam ran to the corridor and sat on one of the many stone towers that held up the rooftop. He looked around side to side, several times, expecting to see Sapph. They had built such a wonderful relationship Adam was comfortable being with her and not having Katie badger him why it was that way. He peeked his head to get a better look.

Sapphinelle walked confidently through the corridor and sat down for a little while to check her phone to see any new texts from her mom. She saw that she hadn't gotten one yet and a tear silently slid down her cheek without seeing Adam. She wiped it with her sweater and picked up her tote bag to leave.

A slight hesisance and Adam rushed behind Sapph. He patted her back to let her know he was behind her.Only, she wasn't ready to hug him, she seemed to be dabbing her eye on her sweater. Crying, maybe? "Hey, umm, are you ok? Are you crying , why?"He wanted to sound sympathtic but more intrigued than anything else. Then he would be helpful once he knew what was wrong.

She sniffled and turned to see Adam.
"Adam." she said with another fresh set of tears and leaned over to give him a nice hug.
"It's my mom..." she said in quiet sobs now. "This outfit was so expensive.." she whined, looking down at her outfit and looking as though she had been homeless for 3 days.

"You're mom?"He asked anxiously rubbing her shoulder, gently."What's up with your mom? And don't say * NOTHING* Obviously something is wrong, or else you wouldn't be crying..."He told her strongly but with a soft voice. He had to be kind and gentle with his words.

She looked up at him, being appreciative that he was trying to calm her down.
"She's sick back home in France." she said with another sob and got out a napkin.
"Sorry I look so stupid right now, you probably think I'm pathetic." she said with a frown.

"No , you don't... If my mom was really sick I'd be worried too..."He said. He hugged her tighter, knowing that was the only way for her to trust him with her mom's sickness. Perhaps, she trusted him most, knowing he wouldn't tell anyone about her. He felt honored, in a way.

She felt his grip tighten around her and felt secure. Why the hell was he with Katie? She was completely wrong for him, he deserved loads better. She tightened her grip on him as well and cried a little bit into his shoulder. "Sorry!" she said with a little laugh and wiped her tears pathetically. "Can I ask you a question? Why does my life suck so much?" she said with a long sigh, still holding on to him.

"And you are overly dramatic, but I don't say anything." Dylan sighed. Why was she even angry at him? Because he entered his name? Pathetic. He wasn't even going to get chosen. There were far better 7th years than him. Like the ones that got chosen for Prefect and Head Boy/Girl.

"No I don't. I am not you. I don't put myself above everyone, all the time. You five are the most important people in my life. I don't even come close." Nope not in his little noodle. He gave his hair a dramatic flick, "Gold likes it. So no I don't need to get a haircut, Lexi." He watched her leave. How could she just walk away from him? She always did it. Meanie head.

"It doesn't. Everyone's life is good in it's own way, or however you see it in the brightlight...At least your parents support you..."He said. He felt her grip get stronger, as if she never wanted to let him go away. Why oh why did he have a strange but nice feeling bubbling in his stomach."I'd say your life is pretty good...Now tell me, what's wrong with your mom, this sounds serious."He added.

She felt a nice feeling. She couldn't feel like that! Kurumi and Adam were meant for each other. NOT Sapphie and Adam.

Sighhhh.
She continued with her story. "I don't have a dad. They divorced. Just my mom and my brother. My brother barely talks to us anymore." she said with another sniffle. "My mom.. she has this weird sickness. She has messed up discs in her neck, she can barely eat anything, without it hurting her stomach.... it's really odd." she said with a silent sob. "I wanted to come here to be a healer when I was older so I could help her with Magical Healing... is that stupid?" she said with another sigh. Her life was hell, so she tried to cover it up with nice things. It felt sooooo good to have someone to confide in.

"Umm, wow, that does sound serious."Adam had thought that Sapph's mom would only have a really bad cough, but this was awful- he couldn't show it though, he had to be strong for her so that she could pull through."That's actually pretty smart- I'd ask the Hospital Wing Professor if you could help with sick students here...So when you go back for christmas, you'll be able to help your mom a little."If there is anything I can do?"He offered. How stupid,he was 11 with no money, all he could do was make her feel better in the problem...:(

"That's really sweet Adam." she said kindly, hugigng him a little tighter, not wanting to let go. "That makes me wonder about you and Katie even more..." she said with another sigh. "Sorry, off-topic. But I wish you could help me." she said while another tear feel down her cheek, but she was a lot more calm now.

"Huh? Right off topic- later"He said, with his forehead all wrinkled at the top."What can I do? I'm here for you?Tell me and I'll do my best to get it for you, all for your mother."He added. "Come on, pull through, I know you're a strong chica."He said, hopefully making her smile at the very least.

She laughed and her face broke into the smile she hadn't had so big in years.
She broke away from the hug to look into his eyes for a long time, and started crying tears of happiness. "Thank you so much." she said quietly, even though she wanted to scream it from the roof of the castle. She was so happy, she could kiss him!
She threw her arms around him again. "I love you right now." she said with a laugh.

"Umm, ok, don't let Katie catch you saying that, she might take you seriously."He laughed."So is everything better now? Well, besides your mom's sickness?"
She gave him a tighter and bigger hug.

She gave a little laugh. "Nooo. All of my friends are starting drama and crap with me for no reason, and they're adding on to my life being hell." she said with yet ANOTHER sigh.
"And everybody has stupid boyfriends... no offence." she said with a giggle as she patted his head.

"None taken...Though, I've been thinking, I think you're right."he said quietly in case Katie or Kurumi was around. He just realized they had been sharing a very intimate personal mintues with each other...He still hadn't done anything like this with Katie..."I can't do it, though...Not yet, and break her heart...It's not in me..."He liked the pat on the head, sure he made it, but Sapph could pull it off very well, it looked like she was the founder of HeadPat.

"...That you should break up with Katie?" she asked with bated breath. She wished. Then he would be with Kurumi...and she would still be boyfriendless. ERGGGHH.
"I know. It's ok. Just do it fast and painless, but don't do the it's not you, it's me cliche." she said with a giggle and noticed that the hug was very close. Her cheek was one centimeter from his. "You really made me feel better. I'm so glad to have you." she said sweetly, giving him a squeeze.

"Same with you."He smiled, he felt getting tugged into the hug even more..."But the thing is, it's here and not me- quite the opposite,"He chuckled heartidly."What am I to do? I don't think Kurumi is ready yet, or understands that she may like me...So confusing."He ran his hands through his thick hair. He was too close for comfort with Sapph at this moment.

"Maybe wait a little? You're really sweet Adam, any girl would be glad to have you." she said happily, including herself. She didn't like him, but the guy was a real catch.
"Kurumi's understanding. She's a lot better for you then Katie dinosaur that'll snap anyone in two who tries to get within two hundred feet of you." she said with another laugh. "Now, about me and my loneliness..." she said with a sigh, half-joking.
