Here are some replys to questions and comments: I suggest you read it all because I'm probably answering one of your questions. And if I've forgotten to answer something, pls remind me.....
I didn't know Sirius' eyes were hazel not brown, sorry but its too late to change
I didn't know if James is a seeker so I made him chaser
Sorry if the story is going by fast
No matter how evil you think I am...you still love the stories! (I hope)
PDA means Personal Display of Affection which is banned in all schools ie: holding hands, kissing, hugging, etc.
On chap 6, I accidnetly made it all bold and I am much too lazy to repost it so deal! lol, funny how thats also the chap title...
I won't be revealing my name whatsoever. Sorry. (someone asked what my pen name means)
Sorry for not describing Sirius, I thought everyone already knew how he looked like. Heres the thing about my descriptions, since it's my most common question:
Im terrible at natural descriptions so pls bare with me
Slowly and steadily, I will describe each character, you just need to wait until I decide to tell ya about them, and for the meantime, use ur imagination.....
Thanks so much for all of your comments and if anyone has questions, feel free to ask! I love answering questions!
CHAPTER 8. SIMPLY CONFUSED
"What in the name of my dear Aunt Sally was that?" Anni, Susie, and I were sitting on each of our beds in our dorms.
I didn't answer her. Right now, I wanted some thinking time to myself.... or even a nap. I've heard that when you wake up, they can solve the worst of your problems. "Err."
"Santasia, what happened today a breakfast with you and Tophu?" Susie's striking red hair was ruffled around her face as she looked to me seriously.
I burst out laughing at her question, "Susie, his name is Topher, not Tophu!"
"Whatever his name was, what made him kiss you?"
"He is quite hot Santasia", Anni giggled like a 5 year old. I looked at her in amazement. How could she change her mood from completely curious to love struck in a matter of .3 seconds?
"But getting back to the topic, what happened this morning? And does it have anything to do with why Topher kissed you?" Weird. It was like Annike and Susan had switched places. Usually, Annike was the stern one, never getting off topic. While Susan was like a blushing bride, giggling and toppling over every moment she got.
"Is he a good kisser?" Again, Anni began to giggle. For some reason, she thought this whole situation was quite hilarious.
Well doesn't that just rock my boat? "OK, I've had enough of both of you! I'm too confused right now to think. I'm going to take a nap." To make my statement final, I closed my bed curtain, just to have it opened again by my 2 best friends.
"Santasia, you need to talk to us", Anni gave me her saddest puppy eyes while Susan pouted like a baby.
"All right, this is all I know: Last night Sirius and I almost kissed, I was found in my towel by a good part of the school because I accidentally went into the boy's baths, Topher asked me to tutor him this morning, and then he kissed me for no good reason this afternoon. Now I need some time to sort things out, but first I want to sleep", I said my little speech quickly in one breath.
"Oh my God."
"Why didn't you tell us this earlier?"
"Hhm, I don't know? Maybe because I knew you would hound me and pester me and inquire me until the very marrow in my bones would rot?"
"Well, we need to figure out which of the 2 you're going to date", Susie, said with her usual subtle approach (hint the sarcasm).
My eyes widened in exasperation. I swear, God gave me 2 hollow headed dolls for friends. We really need to tutor Susie on subtle speech.
"I am not even going to bother to reply to that unapproachful topic. That's completely.... insulting!"
"What's insulting about having to choose between 2 of the very few hottest guys at Hogwarts?" Susan still didn't understand my dilemma. I'm now officially thinking of making her dye her hair blond.
"Susan, you're really not helping the case", Annike had finally jumped into the conversation. I see she's stopped giggling like a drunken moose over Topher.
"Right. While you 2 try to clear up the case, I'm going to go take a nap", I got up from my bed. It's obvious I won't be finding any sleep in this room.
I left the dorm before anyone could argue the 'case'. Bloody wonderful, those 2 leeches had sucked all the energy out of me. And yet, I'd become all worked up over the situation.
Right now, there is a ginormous pile of boy garble waiting to be sorted in my head. But I see a comfortable corner in the back of the library with my name on it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Aww, how cute. She's sleeping."
"Shut up Prongs. You'll wake her."
"Well isn't someone a but pissy?"
"Did you have your milk this morning Siri?"
"I already told you for the umpteenth time...Yes, I did have my milk!"
"You know, this is the perfect opportunity to have some fun with her."
"Well, we could.... No! Lets just go before she wakes. She's got a lovely temper when she wakes."
Oh dear mother of Ozzy. Please don't tell me I'm being watched!
I unstuck my face from the table, signaling my wake. I have a nasty habit of drooling.
"Uhh", what else am I supposed to bloody say?
"Mornin' Santasia!" James smiles cockily down at me. As I looked around, I realized that it's either very late, or that I have poor eyesight.
"Can't get good sleep anywhere these days", I mumbled to myself.
"What? Excuse me?" Lupin and James kept grinning to each other. Again, I must ask, do I have a booger hanging out of my damn ear or something?
"I was asking what time is it?"
"I'd say it's time for you to look in the mirror Tasia", James cheekily says.
"Privy little chooks. Bloody egotistical ponce-", I say this phrase just slightly louder and get up from my seat. "Now I see why Lily beats you up so often."
I was pleased to see the little anchovy's, and when I say this I mean James, smile turn into a dissed frown.
Notice how Sirius hasn't spoken throughout this whole conversation? I looked over at him as he stood there trying to look nonchalant, which sadly came out to make him look.... well, nonchalant. His deep brown hair was draped around his eyes, giving him quite the skater boy look, if I may say so, which I think I just did! The bloody arse can make himself look so...good.
My insides felt like they had been grabbed and strangled when I looked at him. I wasn't trying to make eye contact, but it just happened. He locked onto my gaze, which made my stomach churn drunkenly even more.
I realized that nobody had spoken for over 5 seconds, and in an already awkward conversation, this could be bad.
"Well I've got to be going. Cheerio", I glared at James before I pushed passed the Marauders and out of the library. That'll show them not to mess with me...pft! Sure.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok, so you like Sirius, which you have finally admitted", Annike, Susan, and myself all sat in a silly little circle on the floor of our dorms. I'd had a quick excursion to the kitchens on the way to the Gryffindor tower and had gotten myself some cookie dough ice cream and frappaciano.
Now we sat like a pretty little cult on the floor, in our pajamas, surrounded by stray pillows and blankets, and we each had a bottle of frappaciano and a spoonful of ice cream.
"Yes", I lamely looked down at my dripping desert, ashamed to admit that I had fallen for the school hottie.
"But now you think you're starting to have feelings for Topher", added Susan, finally getting his name right.
"Sorta."
"And you want to give Topher a try even though Sirius likes you back. Because you think Sirius is bad for you?" Anni looked at me quizzically and I quickly got myself in order.
"Well he's not bad in that manner of speaking.... it's just that.... he jumps around a bit."
"Well that's a given", Anni and Susan both nodded vigorously at me. This didn't soothe me one bit and only confirmed the growing feeling that I had been pulled into a cult.
I swear, if you just added some cheap wigs and a gavel, you'd have here the Supreme Court. We'd spent the last 3 hours milling over and over the possibilities of my love life. It was 11 by now and I really didn't think that my romantic interests need this much analyzing.
"Can we just go to sleep now?" I delivered Susan my puppy dog eyes, she falls much easier then Anni.
"No! We have to know what your game plan is for tomorrow!"
"Game plan? Have you gone completely bollocks! Really Anni, if you get any more excited I'll have to clean up your excretion!"
Susan and I grinned as Anni aimed to hit me with an empty ice cream case. She missed terribly. Never that sports chick, that one.
"But really, I'm tired too", Susan piped in. Ah, saved by the blond.
Annike rolled her eyes and gazed deeply at me. I hate it when she thinks hard. "You know I despise Sirius Black."
"I know you do, and I'm extremely surprised you're not pushing me to be with Topher", I said truthfully.
"Yes well, I have an idea. I was talking to Rob Mickenzey earlier, before you came from your nap, and he told me a little something."
A curious silence wavered in the air for a moment as Anni dramatically took a swig of frapp and raised each eyebrow alternately, a perk of hers.
"He told me that Sirius was awfully jealous of Topher kissing you. He already thinks you 2 are going out."
Well that would explain his silence at the library earlier...Wait. He was JEALOUS? Woot! This could be fun.
I suppose Anni read my mind or some kind of creepy cult thing there, because she said, "We could make this fun Tasia."
"And how do you plan to tinker with these boy's minds?" Susan seemed to be waking up all of a sudden.
"Well, Santasia, you don't seem to have an interest in Topher that much.... right?"
Again, silence hung over us as I thought for a moment. He was a good kisser I suppose, but no, nothing there really.
"Right", I replied, eager to see where this was going.
"OK, well I'm not saying to lead him on or anything, but I want to see how Sirius reacts to you and Topher."
Wait.... what?
"Ummm go on."
"If you could make your tutorials with Topher a but more obvious, public, especially to Sirius, then he'll get jealous. Then who knows, maybe he'll profess his undying love for you, or something of the sort. And if he's indifferent, then you know that it's not meant to be with you and him."
Maybe all this frapp and ice cream is getting to my head, but I wasn't quite registering what Anni was asking of me. All the same, I said, "Sounds good to me.... for the time being. I really don't see where it's going, but at least I've got a 'plan'...right?"
"Right."
"Right", Susie added with a yawn.
Right.... I've got a plan...right...
And before I completely realized what I had gotten into, and how hard it would be to get out of Annike's plan.... my head hit the pillow.
Did you really think I wouls have Santasia fall in love with Tophu? Well you thought SORTA right.....
Muahahahahahaha
