I jumped on Molly's bed and shook her roughly, not at all surprised when she told me to piss off. Charming person my best friend is. I lied down next to and watched as she cautiously opened one eye, which was filled with suspicion. Ouch. "Whata you want?"
"Well aren't we happy this morning."
She mumbled incoherently into her pillow, probably complaining about how it's too early or I'm too loud or She's too tired or school starts too early or she's hungry. In other words, she's complaining about something. "Get up sleepy head, today's the day, I'm finally going to do it!"
"No you won't."
I ignored her and continued explaining my life changing decision. "Today, I, Thea Cooper am going to do it, what I've always been wanting to do, I'm finally going to do it!"
"No you won't."
"I'm going to say no. It's that simple, when they ask-which they will- I'll just say no. I'll tell them I'm too busy, exams are coming up and I need to study, I can't keep doing this if I keep getting absolutely nothing in return, I'm going to tell them, today is the day I stop being the person everyone comes to for favours, I refuse to be used anymore!"
"They'll guilt you into it, like they always do."
I sent her a glare which she ignored, probably cause she'd closed her eyes again, lazy."They won't, I'm going to start putting myself before others, I'll give them advice but no more am I thinking up crazy plans that I have to go through with, I am no longer that girl!"
"That's what you said last time." She pulled the blanket over her head and rolled over, turning her back to me. Ouch, well I see how it is! Why am I even friends with her again?
"You could try to be a little more supportive?" She ignored me and snuggled more comfortably into the blankets. I took this as a perfect opportunity to push her off the bed and onto the floor where she landed in a tangle of blankets. "Get your fat, lazy self up this instant before I make you."
"You sound like my sister."
She did not just say that, that is too far. I jumped on her and pinned her arm to her sides, giving her my best death glare. This of course just made her start laughing, well, glad she finds me entertaining. "I do not sound like your annoying, controlling, up herself, nerdy, insane, sad excuse of a sister."
"She's not that bad..."
I gasped and stared at her in shock, never thinking I would hear those words coming from her. "Are you kidding me? She gave us a detention last week!" it was quite annoying really, all we did was go for an innocent midnight snack and I accidently fell down one of the staircases, waking up all the portraits in the process.
... Did I mention it was an accident?
She looked at me as though she was seriously worried about my mental health. You're not the only one, you're not the only one. "Hey, I hate detention as much as the next person but we did wake up like half the castle, remember?"
Yeah, I lost a lot of hey-I-don't-really-know-you-but-I-always-say-hi-to-you-when-I-see-you-friends that day. It's quite depressing really, I miss saying hi to random people I don't know in the morning, it was like a ritual, and now it's gone. I must have a minute of silence every day in remembrance of this ritual.
...What the hell am I thinking?
"Umm... Thea?" I shook my head and blinked rapidly, trying desperately to remember what we were talking about. Yeah, I'm not the smartest person in the world. "You don't remember what we were talking about do you?" I shook my head. "Don't worry, it'll come back to you, we'll talk about it when it does."
Ladies and gentleman, this is why I'm best friends with her, she accepts my crazy flaws.
"Now get your fat butt off me before you flatten me." Sometimes it's hard to be like her, I mean as nice as she is, Molly can be such a pain in the ass. I mean this in the nicest of way of course. "I'M DYING!"I rolled my eyes and stood up, not at all surprised when she pulled the blanket back over her head.
I nudged her side with my foot, which she oh-so-kindly ignored. "Get up you lazy cow!"
"Nefferuucue." Me, being the ultra skilled person I am was able to translate that to 'never, you cow.' Yeah, be jealous of my awesome skills and bow down to me, BOW DOWN TO ME! Molly lifted her head and looked at me funny, "What did you just say?"
...Shit. "What? I didn't say anything."
She shook her head slowly and laid her head back down. "No, I'm pretty sure you just screamed out 'bow down to me!'" Woops, I hate it when that happens. Good thing our other dorm mates have already left and don't have any more reason to doubt my sanity.
"No, you must be imagining things, now get your ass up and have a shower, you smell."
She snorted oh-so-attractively and rolled her eyes, something she appears to be doing a lot lately. "Lay off the compliments there love, you don't want to inflate my ego too much now do you?"
"Exactly what I was thinking!"I grinned at her and pulled her roughly to her feet, much to her dismay. Ignoring her shouts and death threats I threw her into the bathroom and locked the door before laying on my bed to wait for her to get out. Which wouldn't be long, she never takes long to get ready.
I pulled out my defence textbook and started to read, smirking at the occasional shouts of 'It's to fucking early' or 'Mornings can kiss my ass' that were coming from the bathroom. Mollz could be a tad too dramatic at times. I was humming some annoyingly catchy tune I had heard someone singing yesterday when the door burst open and Vicky burst in, looking frantic.
She brushed some of her usually-neat-but-now-surprisingly-bushy hair out of her eyes and collapsed on the end of my bed. I threw my book across the room somewhere and crawled over to her, not exactly sure what to say. I told you I was bad with emotional people. "Vicky? What's wrong?"
She blew some of her hair out of her eyes and tried to glare at me, but looked a tad too upset to pull off the threatening look. "How many times do I have to tell you, it's Victoria." I shrugged innocently and repeated the question, glad when she sat up and took a deep breath. "Ryan's cheating on Madeline."
I gasped and pretended to be shocked when really it wasn't that surprising. Ryan has to be the biggest man whore I have ever met, and yet he always manages to find a new victim, ahem I mean girlfriend, since he plays Quidditch and is really hot. "Really?"
She nodded hugged her knees to her chest, looking extremely venerable. I even noted, that her eyes were slowly filling with tears. Shit, shit, shit, shit! "I went to the library to return a book and I told Madeline I'd meet her in the great hall, and on the way back I used the shortcut on the fifth floor and there he was, snogging some random slutty little Ravenclaw!"
Tears started flowing freely down her face and I found myself wishing desperately she had gone to Tilly instead, she's the one who people go to when they need to talk about their problems, she always knows how to comfort them. Me? Yeah, not so much. "Did they see you?"
She shook her head and sobbed into her hands, I awkwardly patted her on the back. "No, I r-ran as so-soon as I saw t-them. Madeline's going to b-be so upset! I can't t-tell her though, s-she won't believe me and she'll h-h-hate me forever and I-I'll lose my best friend!"
I hugged her tightly and tried to ignore the wet patch that was appearing on my shoulder already. "Shh, she won't hate you! You two have been friends since first year; she won't throw your friend ship away so quickly!" She sobbed harder and started attempting to squeeze the life out of me. "Calm down..."
"I can't! S-she won't want t-to believe it! She'll q-question it and t-think I'm making it up o-or something!" I hugged her tighter and tried desperately to calm her down. "I-I need your help."
I froze, wishing desperately that my ears were deceiving me. "What?"
She sniffed and wiped her face on her sleeve, staring at me with watery eyes. "Please, I need your help to get back at him and to make sure Madeline finds out without us having to tell her!" Crap, why can't she be ugly and not crying and begging me to help her?
I shifted awkwardly and bit my lip, silently praying for Molly to come in now since I could o longer hear the shower. "Well, you see... I've kinda decided to sop helping people so much, I mean I can give you advice but I don't have the time to think up these plans and go through with them..."
She shook her head frantically and stared at me with wide, teary eyes. "No, you have to help, please!"
"But, it's OWL year and I actually need to study this year..."
She broke out in sobs again and grasped desperately to my soaked shirt. "B-but I n-need your help! Y-you have to h-help me o-or I don't k-know what t-to do! P-please, just h-help this o-once, f-for m-m-me?" I nodded and she started to sob into my shoulder again, muttering 'thank you' over and over again.
I looked up when I heard the bathroom door creak open to reveal a very amused Molly, who smirked at me and mouthed 'told you so!'
I gave her the finger.
