Begin!

Note: Yeah I know Prufrock didn't have weekends, but this is just a fanfic so anything is game!

~Klaus' POV

Finally, the weekend! God we've only been living at this Hell-hole school for five days and I'm already sick of this place. I had just woken up on Saturday morning and was on my way to the broom closet where our friends were forced to live. For some reason, they weren't at breakfast and I was curious as to why so I was heading over to see them. Ok that's not the only reason I was going. I had another very good reason named Isadora Quagmire.

Ah, the name gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Lovely Isadora Quagmire; she was one of our only friends at this miserable school, along with her triplet brother Duncan. I don't know when my feelings for her really started, but they increased more every day I was with her. She was beautiful, intelligent, funny, inordinately kind, creative and passionate and just the most wonderful girl I've ever met in my 12 years on this earth. I could go on about her for hours! I was thinking of asking her to come with me to the library today. With every step I took I felt my legs turn to jelly; I had never asked to be alone with a girl before and I was already nervous enough around her normally. This was practically asking her on a date! I hope I don't choke. After a while, I had finally reached the Quagmires' broom closet and I proceeded to come up with my plan.

"Ok, you can do this. It's just asking your friend if she wants to go the library with you, that's all. It should be easy, right? Who am I kidding? This isn't easy!"

I stared at the broom closet door and tried to will myself to knock. I took a deep breath.

"It's just a question," I repeated to myself internally.

Slowly I reached up and knocked on the door. I silently hoped that Duncan wouldn't answer; it'd be too awkward to have to ask to see his sister. He'd tease me about I'm sure. After a couple seconds Isadora opened it and stepped outside, but kept the door partially open behind her with her hand on the knob. She smiled up at me and I felt myself melt inside. God her smile was beautiful.

"Good morning Klaus," She said, "Sorry we weren't at breakfast with you guys."

I quickly snapped out of my trance, "Oh, that's ok I was just coming to make sure that you're alright. We were worried about you guys..."

She giggled, "Well I'm fine, but unfortunately Duncan isn't. Remember how on Thursday we heard that Carmelita had a cold? It turns out that she went to class yesterday anyway, and gave Duncan her cold by sneezing on him on purpose in Mr. Remora's class. I'm surprised she didn't give it to Violet too since she sits right behind her. Guess she thought it would be worse to give it to one of us. So, I have to take care of him today; that's why we weren't at breakfast. We'd hate for you to get sick too."

I felt my heart drop, "Oh..."

Suddenly, I heard a cough come from inside the closet and a scratchy voice say, "Izzie I'm not sick."

She rolled her eyes and said to me, "One second."

She leaned into the doorway and replied, "Yes you are, you big baby! Now shut up and get some rest or I will drag you to the nurse's office."

"Alright, sheesh," Duncan's voice responded weakly.

Isadora turned to me again, "Sorry about that, he doesn't like to listen to me when he's not feeling well. You should have seen how Quigley would act whenever he was sick. We couldn't get him to sit still for even a minute and it always made his recovery slower. Duncan's a little more cooperative, but he complains just as much. Anyway, is there anything else you needed while you're here?"

"Uh... no," I lied, "I should let you get back to your brother, I'll just head back now. I need to let Violet know what's going on."

Isadora smirked, "Yeah I'm sure she'll be pretty upset."

We both laughed at that. Violet and Duncan were very obviously enamored with each other since the day they met. They weren't exactly subtle about it either. Duncan was constantly doing things for her whenever he could, and I could often catch my sister staring at him when we all hung out together. I'm not sure how she learned anything in Mr. Remora's class with her crush sitting right beside her. But then again, I sat beside Isadora in Mrs. Bass' class and I barely learned a thing too. They were just stupid measurements anyway, Isadora was way more interesting.

Her expression softened, "Are you sure there wasn't anything else? You look a little disappointed."

"No," I said a little too hastily, "You just get back to what you were doing."

She raised a brow at me, "You're lying."

"Damn, how did she do that?"

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair nervously, "Ok you win... I was just thinking that maybe since it's Saturday you might be interested in going to the library with me."

I saw her perk up, "Oh... you mean like just the two of us? Alone?"

I wish she hadn't worded it that way, it only made me more nervous, "If that's what you want then yes that's what I meant."

Her smile faded a bit, "I'd love to, but I have to take care of Duncan. I'm sorry."

"No it's ok. I understand," I started to walk away trying to mask my disappointment, "Uh, I'll see you later."

"Great, first chance you have to be alone with her and she's busy. I can't blame her for it though. Whenever I'd get sick Violet would always look after me when our parents weren't home... Hey wait a minute! I just got a great idea!"

I quickly stopped Isadora before she went back into her room, "Isadora, wait!"

She smiled again, damn her gorgeous smile, "Yes Klaus?"

"I have an idea," I leaned down and whispered in her ear so we wouldn't risk Duncan overhearing, "What if I get Violet to come and take care of Duncan so we can go to the library?"

She giggled and whispered back, "Oh, that's evil! Why would you force your sister to do that?"

I grinned, "She'll agree to it. She used to take care of me whenever I was sick. And I'm sure that Duncan wouldn't mind listening to her."

"Ok, but only if she says yes, understand?"

I nodded and walked quickly back to the orphans' shack where my sisters and I had been forced to live. Violet had already dropped Sunny off at the administrative office for work; she apparently didn't get the weekends off from her secretary job for Vice Principal Nero. I found my older sister sitting on her hay bale in the shack writing something down on a piece of paper. I noticed her hair was tied back, which meant she was thinking about her inventions, but I decided that the situation did warrant me interrupting her.

"Violet," I spoke up getting her attention.

She glanced up at me before looking back at her work, "Yeah, Klaus, I'm a little busy. What happened to the Quagmires? I thought you went to check on them."

I smirked a tiny bit as I thought about how to word my predicament, "Duncan has a cold and Isadora has to look after him. So I guess you won't be able to see him today."

I saw her pen stop writing for a second, "Duncan is sick?"

"Yeah, Carmelita forced her cold onto him yesterday. He sounded pretty bad too. I'm sorry Violet," I tried desperately to hold back my smile as I saw her face grow concerned at this information.

She reached up and pulled her ribbon out of her hair, "Hm, maybe I should go help out."

"If you insist," I said as she got up and followed me back to the broom closet.

Isadora was happy to let Violet take over in watching Duncan. And much to the surprise of no one, Duncan was happy to see Violet and had strangely stopped his complaining. Isadora and I walked to the library with knowing smiles.

"I cannot believe how well that worked," Isadora said.

"She definitely got him to shut up," I noted, "Hey you didn't just do that to get away from your brother did you?"

She laughed, "No, I really did want to spend time with you. I'll thank Violet for the help later."

We spent the rest of our time that day just relaxing in the library together. It was exactly as perfect as I had wanted it to be. From then on I would consider that day our first date.

"So, run this by me again Violet, I'm curious, how exactly did you get sick?"

"Shut. Up."

~The End!
