Hello! I thought I'd attempt to do something different than torchwood, so this is my first attempt at a MCL fic! I thought I'd upload it and see how much interest it would get :)
My Candy Love doesn't belong to me :(
Cathy's POV
I looked up at the offending building. Sweet Amoris High. I could hear Freya sighing beside me, and on my right Mollie was raising her eyebrows, a thoroughly unimpressed look on her face. I knew however from the quiver in her hands that she was nervous. We all were.
Trying to be positive, I gave them both grins and said as cheerfully as possible 'Right then, let's go sign up.' Seeing the look on their faces I sighed. 'Look I know it's gonna be hard. But it's just something that we have to do. Besides, we might have fun, if we try it!'
Mollie took a deep breath, and smiled at me. 'Yeah. It's all gonna be okay.' Freya rolled her eyes at us. 'Oh please. It's gonna be crap.' Ever the optimist. 'let's just go.'
Freya's POV
Cathy took the lead and went to find the student council president…..thing. I felt a twinge of guilt at that. It was always Cathy that took the lead and looked after us. Everyone used to think it was annoying that she fussed over us, but it just came naturally to her, and truth be told we liked her fussing, it felt like home. Ever since we were little, it was always Mum and Cathy that looked after us.
Even now with Mum gone, Cathy was still the one to supply us with hugs, and a friendly ear when we wanted a good moan. Not that me and Molls didn't do our bit. Mollie did the cooking, as I wasn't allowed near the kitchen anymore, and I did the cleaning. Cathy managed our money and accounts, as well as looking after fiddly details, like signing up for a brand new school.
Walking into the student council room we caught sight of the president, bent over some papers. He didn't appear to notice us at first, and I kept waiting for Cathy to speak, but she seemed content to wait. Patience never having been one of my strong points, I cleared my throat. Loudly.
The boy didn't even glance up. Undeterred, I let out a loud cough. Mollie turned her head away, and I could see the smile she was trying to keep off her face. I could see signs of irritation on the blonde dude's face, but I'd had enough.
'EXCUSE ME!' I yelled, and everyone in the student council room jumped. Mollie was furiously biting her lip to stop herself from laughing, and I could tell Cathy was feeling a mixture of amusement and embarrassment. The boy gave me a pointed look, so I cheerfully waggled my fingers at him in a little wave.
Cathy snorted at me, before turning to angry blonde guy and turning on her teacher's pet charm. 'Hello, are you Nathaniel?' Nathaniel nodded, smiling at Cathy. 'Yes that's me, how can I help you?' Cathy gave him her mega-watt smile and said 'Ah, I'm Catherine Edwards, and these are my sisters, Freya and Mollie Edwards. We just started today?'
Mollie POV
Nathaniel smiled at us, and I could tell he was comparing us. After all, triplets weren't the most common thing, and the only difference in our looks was our eye and hair colours. Our personalities were a completely different story.
Cathy is sensible, no time for anything else if there was work to be done. When work was out the way however, she became quite a fun person to be around. She is incredibly patient, an excellent trait when dealing with me and Freya, but if you push her over the edge, run for your life, cause she is not to be messed with. She is very nurturing, and always popular, ready to help anyone and everyone, or just be a good listener.
Freya is too nosey for her own good, having to find everything out about everyone. Though, I suppose she has an excuse…... no, mustn't think about that. She is the complete opposite to Cathy, resulting in some very interesting situations, and sometimes we have to physically drag her into lessons. We don't let her near any electrical appliances, after she managed to set fire to the toaster while making toast. That, coupled with the fact that she managed to blow every light bulb in the apartment, meant she was wasn't allowed to touch anything in the kitchen except the fridge.
And me, well, I say what's on my mind, which people usually interpret as being rude. I don't mean to, but Cathy told me that sometimes it's best to sugarcoat the truth, or even keep it to myself if it's not very nice. I like to drift a lot as well, and tend to end up ignoring people by accident.
I was jolted by a poke in my ribs, and Freya rolled her eyes at me. 'Earth to Moll! Have you got your I.D?' I quickly fumbled around in my bag for my purse. Handing the card over, I watched as Nathaniel took photocopies of them all, before handing them back with a smile. 'If you need anything' Nathaniel said as he handed us our timetables, 'don't hesitate to ask, okay?'
The whole time he spoke however, his eyes were fixed on Cathy. And from the way Cathy was smiling and playing with her hair, the feelings were mutual. This was odd. Cathy never usually even smiled at a boy, never mind laughing and joking with one! Maybe this will be good for us after all….
Thoughts? Worth continuing?
