You looked at her and started laughing. For some weird reason you found this slightly humorous. Maybe it was the look on everyone's face. Or maybe it was the look of confusion on Pat's at the look on everyone's faces. Either way you were standing there in the middle of the room laughing like a maniac. This, of course, earned a few looks of your own. Slowly Pat started laughing with you mainly because when someone laughs at seemingly nothing she finds it slightly humorous as well. You cautiously looked up at everyone's face and slowed down the laughing.

"Ha...ha...ha...ha ha...ha...ok so let's go to lunch...ha" you said leading the way to go get dressed. By the way you say that exactly as it's written

When you were done you went back to the lounge and waited for the other people. Walking in there you noticed that only Theo was in there chillin' out on the couch. You sat next to him and waited. He was looking at you out the corner of his eye. You could tell he wanted to tell or ask you something.

"So...are you excited about the ball?"

"Eh I've never been to one so I'm kind of nervous"

"I see well they really aren't that bad. You get to dress up and dance the night away"

"Well that part is what I am excited about. I can't wait to dance. Is Aiden any good at dancing?"

"From what I've seen, yes. Why? Are you going with him?"

"Ha ha ya I am. He asked me while you guys were running through the house yesterday"

"Oh...you know Draco wanted to ask you?"

"Um no, I didn't. Does he like me or something?"

"Well judging by that kiss earlier I'd say or something" his eyebrows raised to about the middle of his forehead.

"Ohh...hm well I wish he'd asked me first, but I like Aiden also. You know this would be a lot easier if you guys weren't so hott" you made a fake pouty face.

"Well...I don't think I can help you there, but" he was cut off by Aiden and Blaise coming in the room.

"Help her with what?" Aiden asked.

"With...what dress I'm going to wear to the ball. He was the only one in here so I thought I'd ask for his opinion but he's not very good with girly stuff, surprisingly" you said quickly thinking up a lie.

oh ya good save you heard in your head

I would like to see you come up with something better

eh maybe some other time


I'll hold you to it

you do that

"Oh ok" he said looking a little confuzzeled. Am I the only one who absolutely loves that word??

Just then Pat, Anna, Amara, and Draco all walked in the room ready to go eat. Anna was complaining about not being able to eat her pancakes.

"Do you think they'll serve me some?" she asked with a hopeful look on her face while you all walked downstairs.

"You can ask but I'm not guaranteeing anything" you said looking in her general direction but catching eyes with Draco.

"Hmph" she said crossing her arms.

You reached the porch thing your dad wanted to eat lunch at and found him not there. You all took your seats and waited impatiently for the food knowing that you couldn't eat until ol' daddio came out. When the French doors opened instead of seeing your dad a servant walked out and cam to whisper in your ear.

"Your father said to continue without him" he stood up straight after you nodded to him and asked everyone what they wanted to eat. Immediately you heard Anna shout out.

"PANCAKES!! Please can I have some pancakes?!" she asked looking like she was ready to beg.

I guess she likes her pancakes...

I guess so

You tried to stifle your giggling as everyone ordered including yourself. When the servant left was when everything busted loose. You almost fell out of your chair laughing so hard. You, again, earned some weird look from your friends. Five minutes later the food was brought out and Anna let out a scream of relief. When everyone was half-way through the doors opened again and to you complete surprise Kristen walked through them. You screamed and ran to hug her and introduced to all your friends.

"So I see you got your pancakes Anna" she said with a smile on her face.

Anna just looked up at her like she was in heaven.
