*{Chapter 3}

Ding-dong, ding-dong the doorbell sounded, signaling that there was someone at the door. Mortalia got up from her seat on the lumpy living room couch, answering the call. She took a look through the peek-hole, lifting on her black tall socks covered feet. She stained her neck, lifted her dark purple eyes to see through the small hole. Just then, her heart begun to beat rapidly in her chest, fluttering about noisy and speedily.
"U-Um…h-hey Holt…" she asked timidly, her face reddening as she stood in the now open doorway that seemed to expose her to the windy, alive darkness that was the night. In her onyx cloaked robe she seemed to sink into herself. What possible reason did Holt Hyde have to visit her home so late at night?
"About that," Holt leaned his head over, moving it out of the way. Hidden behind him, wearing a look of excitement was Jarr'ah, his blue face bright red and a wide smile brightening his innocent face. "He needed a ride."
"Oh." Mortalia scratched the back of her head, embarrassed. Under her black-purple cloak her chalk skin blushed a brighter shade of red. "Well…p-please, come in."
Holt smiled coolly, walking inside. Jarr'ah followed behind, bouncing somewhat as he walked, a spring his already perky step. Once they were inside, Mortalia was quick to close and lock the door, hoping that no one [the neighbors] saw them coming in. They'd all probably tell Raven and Beast Boy that she had guests over while they were out on their marriage anniversary date. Mortalia bit her lip, running over to her sofa chair. She sat, hopping into her seat and crossing her legs snuggly, intertwining one in one another - crisscross applesauce style. She nodded her chin, encouraging that the mansters take a seat on the lumpy couch. They did, not complain about their seating. Somehow, they positioned themselves, finding a way to sit comfortably.
"Nice place you've got here, Tallie." Holt said, admiring the home's décor; which thanks to Raven was sophisticated Victorian chic with a taste of modern Gothic flair.
"U-Um…T-Tallie?" Mortalia questioned quietly. She realized that Holt hadn't heard her, thankfully. With a bashful tone that was both shy and timid she replied, "Well, thanks."
"No problem. Mind if I use your bathroom?" Holt stood, glancing over to Jarr'ah, hinting. Mortalia nodded, pointed a shaking finger to the direction of the bathroom. Holt gave her an enthusiastic smile. "Thanks."
Once Holt was gone from the room, Mortalia took his seat next to Jarr'ah. She bit her lip nervous, bats fluttering about in her stomach.
Although she didn't want to admit it, having Holt in her house was making her more nervous than anything. What if he by chance discovered her dark purple dress towel thing?
"So, um, what's up?" she finally asked, mumbling. She mentally shook herself, returning herself to the scene.
"Well, I've got this monster of an idea." Jarr'ah with a confident cool smile and eyes that dances, glancing to his bestie elatedly. "You see, I was hanging out with Holt earlier during one of his shows at some cool jazzy r&b type of club and then we sort of held hands and walked to the park and…okay, well, whatever, moving on: when we were lying down on this grass hill we had this clawesome idea for a new club at Monster High."
"Oh…kay?" Mortalia blinked, puzzled as she curled her legs up and pressed her knees to her chest. She wrapped her arms around her bony knee comfortably, careful that they didn't appear from under her dark cloak. "And what is this clawesome new club you two came up with?"
"It's called GSA – Gay Straight Alliance. What do you think, cute, right?" Jarr'ah said with a bubbly giggle, putting his fist to his mouth. On his wrist was a braided string bracelet, the colored of white.
Mortalia's head fell to the side. She could've sworn she'd seen that same exact bracelet on Holt, but his was the color black.
Had it been a hand-knitted couple's bracelet, maybe?

Again, as I said for Mia's story, too lazy to type more.
More chapters to come, I promise. Hope you liked this mini chapter!-3
