hey there
Before the story starts I just want to mention that it can come to sexual innuendos/actions, alcohol and tobacco are addressed.
It's not my first fanfiction, but normally I write in german, because it's my mother tongue, so please don't complain about grammar mistakes. :)
I just came to Alfea and settled in. I share my room with a girl named Flora and we get along really well.
My dad wasn't really convinced that I wanted to go to school, but it was my biggest wish and with a heavy heart he let me go.
I think the group I was packed with is really great, but tonight really pissed me off.
Bloom, I think that was the name of the red-haired girl, invited the boys to join us. All well and good, but all of them are in a relationship and the only thing I'll probably be snogging tonight is the whiskey bottle.
"What are you thinking about, sunshine?" I hear Flora's voice ring out.
I look up and smile wryly at her.
The plant fairy kneels down in front of me and reaches for my septum, which she is twirling.
"This has been bothering me all morning" she says quietly, but loud enough for me to hear.
"You tell me" I start jerking around.
Flora looks me in the eye and smiles
"Just because your friends are there doesn't mean I'm left out though, right?" with each word I get faster and quieter.
She smiles at me and holds out her hand.
I reach for it and she suddenly pulls me with unexpected strength into the living room where the other girls are.
"So say that again" she prompts me and they all look at us.
"I... well" I turn all red and start sweating. Why did I have to ask something like that too!
"She's afraid she'll be sitting there alone tonight while we hang out with our boys" Flora starts to explain.
I hear a loud "Ohhh" and an "Oh sweetie" before the girls hug me.
"Never would we forget you sweetie. But I think you have male company tonight too" the sun fairy speaks, raising her eyebrows several times.
"What, who?" Aisha now interferes.
"Brandon told me that Helia claimed Sky heard that Riven is now single again and now seriously, Musa is just his type of woman".
There are only question marks in my head, neither I know who Brandon is nor who Riven is.
"And you really think Riven is coming tonight? He's never at our meetings" I now hear the tech fairy say, what was her name again?
"100%, otherwise I'll sort out my closet".
"No Stella, everything but that" Bloom now says ironically and everyone laughs.
Stella playfully punches her arm.
"So my pretty, what do you want to wear?" The blonde fairy reaches into my hair and forms different hairstyles.
"How many pierced ears do you have, please?!" She asks, somewhat indignantly.
"How the hell am I supposed to find that many matching earrings to your dress?"
"Wait, who said anything about a dress? I thought a hoodie was enough."
I see her eye start to twitch.
"Surprise" now suddenly a rather deep voice calls across the room.
"Honey bear" Stella screams and runs towards him.
I take a step towards Bloom and rest my head on her shoulder " is the brownhead this Brandon?"
"Well combined Sherlock"
The two are in each other's arms and through the door frame another face peeks through "Hello Sky" Bloom now calls out with joy but doesn't run towards him as if possessed.
"So the rumor mill is right, you have a new one on the block" he says coming towards me.
"Hello I am Sky, prince of Eraklyon" he says and gives me his hand.
A simple hey I give him back and shake his hand.
I am more than uncomfortable with the situation.
"Have you asked Riven to come tonight yet?" Bloom asks him, putting her hands around him from behind.
"Asked yes, but he doesn't know yet".
"If he doesn't come, I'm going to kick his butt" that definitely came from Stella.
Sky grabs Bloom's hand and pulls her a bit away from me so I can't hear her right now, at least that's what he thinks, I'm the fairy of music, my ears pick up even the lowest frequencies and softest sounds.
"She seems nice, why Riven of all people?" He asks Bloom worriedly.
"Riven deserves a little happiness too, if they don't match at all I'll find her someone else" Bloom winks at him.
After the surprise visit the two boys quickly disappear, however Stella hasn't forgotten about the dress and runs into my room to rummage through my closet.
"You have such pretty things and wear only such rags" she says indignantly.
In her hand she holds several dresses, one in blue, with lots of tulle and little daisies embroidered on it and one of them is my black flowered Lolita dress, which I often wore to tea ceremonies.
Right now I'm wearing a t-shirt with a band logo and washed out sweatpants.
-- In the evening--
-- In the evening--
I still managed to dissuade Stella from putting me in a dress and am now wearing a one-piece in a light shade of yellow.
The guys are already there and are with their respective counterparts and I of course sit alone on the sofa drinking alcohol.
"I need some fresh air" I say into the loud room hoping someone would notice, but no one responds.
I grab my jacket and head for the door to come downstairs. I look at my cell phone and notice that the alcohol makes me a little woozy.
In front of the door, however, is the specialist that the others promised me, but he didn't show up in the end, at least until now.
"You know, other women are not so direct and run right into me" he says laughing.
In me everything freezes, his deep voice triggers goosebumps all over my body and this heat he radiates from himself.
"My name is Riven and who are you?" He walks a bit away from me and smiles at me.
"Musa"
"Where of the way, Musa?"
"I just needed some air, stuffy in there".
"Perfect, then I can have another smoke".
Without me being able to answer, he jumped down the stairs.
That's the alcohol, tomorrow the world will look completely different, I keep telling myself.
"Come on, or do I have to carry you down?" He laughs mischievously.
"Well you have drunk but also already properly, right? " He now asks as we sit down on the bench outside.
"What makes you think that? I can definitely still walk straight"
"You can, but you stink of whiskey" he laughs now.
I hate him. I hate him so much.
How can you hate a person you've known for such a short time so much. With his beautiful green eyes and those lips that I want to feel on mine.
Stop Musa, pull yourself together, you've only known him for 10 minutes and you're already thinking about getting married.
He holds out his pack of cigarettes to me, "Do you smoke?"
"No, quit 4 months ago"
"Good girl" he says and pats me on the shoulder.
"You know, I'm not a dog" I admonish him as he lights his cigarette.
"Ohh is the little sour one" he pinches my cheek.
"I'm about to bite your finger off".
"What was that again about 'I'm not a dog'?"
Now I'm completely fed up and try to box him and knock his stupid cigarette out of his hand, which rather backfires because he pulls me on top of him and laughs.
"One of the fast kind, I like it".
"Oh shut up"
"Make me"
Briefly I play with my thoughts, should I really do it? You've known him for half an hour, tops, and you want to make out right away?
Well if Stella was there she'd probably say 'Go for it, you only live once sweetheart'.
And with Stella's words in mind I pull his head to me and kiss him.
At first he is completely confused but then starts to grin into the kiss and returns the kiss.
He tastes like a mixture of cigarettes and peppermint gum.
After a short while we break away and he looks at me.
"That was the alcohol" I say softly and we start laughing at the same time.
