Ramblings

William returned to the dorms of Kadic Academy in a foul mood. He had missed most of his afternoon classes and he felt totally useless once again.

'Who do they think they are?' he thought to himself as he made his way towards his room.

"You don't need them. You're better then them." A voice said in his head.

"Who said that?" William asked around looking down the hall, but he found no one. "I need some sleep." the boy said shrugging it off. He returned to his walking when he pasted by a door that was slightly opened. Curious, he peeked inside and saw a familiar looking strawberry blonde.

She had her back turned to him and was wearing paint splattered clothing. She seemed to be painting but the boy was unable to see what.

"You know, you can come in if you want to." Cascada said without turning around. William hesitated before walking in, closing the door behind him. "You missed your afternoon classes." she said still painting.

The boy shrugged as he sat on her bed. "Sorry, I thought I had something important to do." he said

"You thought?" Cascada asked, turning around to raise an eyebrow.

"Yeah, but I wasn't needed." The boy said before looking around the room. It was a small singles dorm. There was the usual desk, wardrobe, and bed that all the rooms had. Boxes of stuff lay scattered around the room just waiting to be unpacked. A few pictures were put up around the wall but most of them were of flowers, manly sakura or cherry blossoms.

"Where are the others?" Cascada asked breaking the silence while still continuing to paint.

"No where important." William muttered bitterly.

"I see." Cascada replied slowly.

Another awkward silence filled the room.

"What are you painting?" the boy asked, breaking the silence.

"Can't tell you." the girl replied

"Why not?" William asked, curious.

"Because it's a surprise." Cascada smiled before putting her brush down and covering her painting with a sheet. Then she sat next to him on her bed. "You know you and Yumi left me all alone, by myself, in a new school. I had absolutely no idea where to go. That Sissi girl kept stalking me too, asking me if I wanted to join her little cult. I said no thanks"

"Sorry I couldn't be there to save you." William laughed noticing the tone in her voice that told him she was trying to be funny.

Cascada snorted, offended. "I don't need a night in shining armor to save me from someone like Sissi. I can take care of myself despite what happened when we first ran into each other." the girl said insulted crossing her arms over her chest and pouting slightly.

"Sure." William said getting up. "I'm going back to my room. How about I pick you up when it is dinner time to avoid anymore Sissi incidents."

"Awww that's so sweet, but your flirting doesn't work on me." Cascada said leading him out of the room then closing the door behind him.

William smirked at the door. "We'll see about that." He said before stuffing his hands in his pockets and walking to his room.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After closing her door Cascada walked back to her covered painting and removed the sheet.

She examined her finished work. It was a forest of sakura trees. Delicate pink and white petals covered the ground and filled the air like snow. Rays of either the rising or the setting sun shone above the tops of the trees. Beyond the veil of snow petals, in the background, was a person. If closely examined, one could see it was a woman wearing a long white dress. But what really stood out was her long, pink hair.

Cascada gently traced her finger over the figure she had painted before uttering one word. "Mom."


Yay! Another filler chapter(I seem to be doing those alot lately : P )Okay sorry guys it took me so long to update but FanFiction wouldn't let me update, so it wasn't my fault.

I would like to thank Gregoryhell and Shadow Wolf315 for sending me great ideas for the next chapter. Next chapter will be dedicated to you two!!! For those who want to you can still send in your ideas if you want to in your reviews. I love hearing what my readers have to say so don't be shy! I don't know when I'll be able to update next because unfortunatly for me report card pickup is coming up. I don't think I did that well on my report card so when my mom finds out she might not let me go online for a very long time (or at least till summer). But don't worry! If I can't use the computer then I'll keep writing in my journal and then everything will be all ready to type for whenever I can touch the computer again!

Anyway, I'm rambling again(ironic,eh?). Wish me luck on my report card and...PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
