The night was falling that day after the eight girls were discussing about what they had dreamed and the conclusions were a real division among them, five went for the most logical and scientific idea of everything being only holograms and illusions created by Ursula and Croix for them not to go to that place in Luna Nova, while the few remaining three were thinking in a more fanciful logic, where there was the presence of magic in the middle, being these specially Akko, Marianne and Hellene, the three girls that have a mentality towards the more open and fanciful side of this matter.
In the meantime, all the girls from the Luna Nova
orphanage were getting ready for the party that was about to happen, with the visit of the orphans from the Appleton boys orphanage who came as a summer holiday trip to spend a few days in Glastonbury since there would also be a music festival there, but the intention of visiting Luna Nova is a strange link that that school academy has with something from Luna Nova, mainly due to the fact that some of the boys there in some cases have married some girls from Luna Nova.
20:00
In the blue team's room was the greatest anxiety on the part of Hannah and Barbara, who were getting ready for this place, very euphoric, while Diana remained calm even, wearing a plaid blouse, jeans with some rips on the thigh, a black tank top, leaving very evident the piercings on her helix, a black all star with a long pipe with red lines, leaving her private room already arranged and her colleagues did not stop noticing her friend's look.
" Girl, it amazes me how you don't even have to get ready to look attractive, I have to say it looks just like you," Barbara said.
" The problem will be to impress the boys from Appleton, dressing like that you can't even hide that you're a lesbian, you even seem to want to call attention to Atsuko Kagari haha, you haven't stopped talking about her lately and you've even dated them " Hannah said, while Diana was slowly blushing.
" Hannah! " Parker said scoldingly.
" It's not like that, I just want to be myself, there's no reason why I should get all fussed up like you two, you've been there for hours just to choose an earring to put in your ear and what shade of foundation to put on your face " Cavendish replies.
" It's not for nothing that because of a mentality like that, you Cavendish have been losing the prestige of what was once one of the most traditional families in Britain.
From there Diana sat on the sofa in her room, where she stayed playing to pass the time, as 9pm would be the time when the Appleton boys would arrive to mark their presence at the camp.
Only not many of the rooms had euphoric girls wanting to get ready to welcome the Appleton
boys, some of these the girls simply just dressed up in what they thought was an outfit to be able to make an exit.
21:00
The moment of the Appleton's boys visit arrives, all the girls of Luna Nova, already dressed, are organizing themselves in rows to receive the boys of that orphanage, a good part of them were dressing even in a casual way, in the middle of some few that are really using expensive and sophisticated dresses.
The Jaguars are arriving at the door of Luna Nova, parking and from there each one goes down the boys wearing mostly sophisticated and designer clothes, accompanied by some older men, where when arriving at the door everything is opened for them to pass in the corridor where they even had a red carpet in hands.
Some of the girls are already getting hysterical and euphoric with the appearance of the elegant boys, well dressed in their great majority, the suit that let evident the slender bodies of the boys that stop in the middle of the way after all get in and stop at the sign of the gentleman that was ahead with gray hair, green eyes, wearing a light brown frame glasses.
This same man is walking until he reaches Ursula and Croix who were dressing in a rather casual way, they didn't want to show any class.
" So is that what Luna Nova has become in these 10 years of reopening? Holbrooke gone so that this place has lost all its class? What are all these girls dressed like they have no class and are from the lowest stratum of society? Where have your incentives gone? Just look at this place as it is in a deplorable state " said the gentleman from Appleton.
" We have no obligation to force class on any of our girls, they can wear what they want, we don't want to take away any of their freedom, we have the freedom to be who we are, now if I may, shall we get this event started soon? I'm sorry we're not a bit starchy, Paul Hanbridge " said Croix.
" This place has really lowered the standard since you guys took the lead. You went to support that witch of the Chariot Du Nord and now you are there in the ruins, look at Finnelan, she saw a whole construction of this place fall because of Holbrooke's ignorance, she deserved to succeed this place, not you two, in the end I am not surprised that the witches of Luna Nova, remain deviant women " Paul said for all to hear and with that comes another man from Appleton.
" Come on Paul, let's get out of here, we didn't come to this classless dump, I can't believe you still want to insist on this place " said a balding blond to the owner of Appleton.
" Well even if they don't have the class, our interest is not focused on the place but on how our boys can find a classy woman to continue the legacy of our posh orphanage and academy, I could observe a minority of women still with class and two of them without class who are in the middle are the known Cavendish, what remains is to put faith in our boys " Paul replies and soon Croix snaps her fingers.
" We are not deaf, we heard everything you said, have more respect for us, or we will throw you out of here ourselves," said Meridies.
" It's fine that this ball may progress, we'll be waiting outside, for I don't want to stand around seeing the ruin this place has become and think it could get worse than it already is " Paul said giving his jacket an adjustment and with that leaving with the other older gentlemen from Appleton, while the boys still stood around, a bit confused.
After the elders left, the lights went out, giving way to the typical lights of a ballad, where two stronger lights focused on Ursula and Chariot, who were with microphones in hand preparing to give a speech.
" I am sorry for your misfortune Appleton boys, but you shouldn't just look at what comes in those fancy suits or clothes, we are all people, well now let's get the party started, since you are all here, that's what we came for " Ursula said into the microphone.
The spotlight stops on the two of them and soon starts playing Somebody That I Used To Know, with lights passing through the place and at that everyone started to move walking around the hall of Luna Nova.
Diana was walking there and notices Akko, she was wearing a pair of jeans shorts with a black t-shirt with a Nike SB print partially underneath the shorts and wearing a pair of red Air Jordans, both of them are facing each other, slowly getting closer, only that right at that moment Cavendish's peace is interrupted by a group of boys who were pushing another boy with a jacket very similar to Paul Hanbridge which all the other girls were with their eyes well grown on the boy too.
" Hey stop filling me up and pushing me towards Diana, what are you doing? " said the boy.
" What do you want now Andrew? I already said that I won't dance with you, you know more than anyone that I'm a lesbian " Cavendish said very clearly which even grew Atsuko's eyes a lot too.
" (Lesbian? Diana is a lesbian? For that I didn't expect, but it's not for nothing, only that this guy is not bad either, she was a beauty this way, I suspected so, but now I'm sure, now this handsome guy with a jacket, he's a great guy, you have to be a lesbian to ignore one of this).
" Hannah! Barbara! Andrew is here, he is all yours! " Said Diana calling for her friends while the boy was still being pushed by his friends and soon Akko arrives in the middle pulling Cavendish's hand that ends up blushing.
" Can you guys leave Diana alone, she doesn't like men, I'm with her now, if you mind I'll go out dancing with her now " Kagari said being very direct, making the Scottish girl blush even more.
But it was at this Japanese girl's arrival that all the other boys pulled away, including Andrew himself was pulled away by Hannah and Barbara holding both of the boy's arms that were getting a little bit scared, the others didn't even try to invest in the one with blue eyes seeing the strong stares that the one with crimson eyes gave, but this kind of ended up making the one with platinum blonde hair also quite embarrassed, when the dust settled and the two had even danced quickly.
" Akko! Why did you do that? Are you mad? We don't even have anything to do with each other," Cavendish said, still blushing heavily.
" I know, but I just wish you could be freer from the boys' harassment, that you could also enjoy the day, it's really annoying to see these guys all the time hitting on us as if we were some kind of knives, I just want to be in peace, free, without these scrotums hitting on us " Complements Kagari.
" Did you want to help me? But why? You want to beat me in the skateboarding championship," Diana asked.
" Because I don't see you only as a rival, I also want to beat your sister, but look at the friendship I have with her... I'm not here to just beat you, I'm not an empty person, I also want to know you better, maybe then we can be friends too, I don't see you only as the annoying starched Amanda keeps talking about you, it must be because you are not very sociable with the others, but hey I'm friends with Sucy, she is also very introverted too " Akko answers scratching the back of her head and at that moment he notices a corner smile coming from the older Cavendish.
" Do you find me interesting, Akko? " At this point the Japanese woman blushes a little at the Scottish woman's tone of voice which was a little softer, and with that all flushed, the crimson"eyed one ends up running out of there.
And Diana again is alone in the middle of the ballad, but soon her younger sister appears, so both go dancing together just to distract the attention of the boys from Appleton, already in one of the corridors of Luna Nova, Kagari ended up running until she got tired getting out of breath and there was Andrew, also out of breath, after escaping from Hannah and Barbara's claws.
" Please don't turn me in... These girls here are crazy, I just want to be in peace around here... Wait a minute, weren't you with Diana? " Andrew asked as the Japanese girl gave the boy a quick glance.
" And you're one of the freaks from Appleton who's been hitting on her? Then I'll go... " Akko even tried to scream but was interrupted by the desperation of the boy who kept waving his hands.
" Please, I beg you, I don't want anything with Diana, or with any girl, I just want to be at peace, even I am her cousin, why would I want anything with my cousin... who on top of that is a lesbian... Besides me... Well, I guess... I'm gay " The chip fell for the crimson"eyed one who was slack"jawed at the news.
" Gay? Then why Diana. " Akko said with her hand on her chin.
" Diana also knows, she tries to disguise so the boys don't suspect anything, I can't risk myself like that girl, I am Andrew Hanbridge, Paul Hanbridge's son who is the CEO of Hanbridge CO, the boys there don't want to be my friends, the more they just want to take advantage of any gap so they can deliver to my father and he would disown me if he knew how I am... " Said Andrew leaving even more impressed with the revelation of the Englishman.
" Ah I understand, I know how it is, but then why limit yourself so much to being a rich starched and do not try to build your life and go after your dreams? You could stop being his puppet, or even ask your aunts for help... Diana's mothers seem nice... " Soon the Japanese woman's whole speech is interrupted.
" They are, but my mother wasn't and because of her I don't know if I could get the support, not to mention that I can't risk it, I could literally end up on the street... It's not that easy, my own aunt struggled to be who she is and I'm very proud of her, but even Aunt Bernadette is still frowned upon by everyone, including my father.
" Well then wait and lower your head, they will manipulate you until the last moment Andrew, you have to get stronger, it won't do you any good just running away, the path is difficult, but if you build the land you will have support, I don't doubt that your aunts would help you, anyway, I think you better run, I see Barbara walking through the corridors after you " said Kagari making Andrew run out of there and it was in this that the Japanese woman goes back to the club.
" (What a complicated little boy, he looks a lot like Diana, I even think Diana must be the female version of the boy, it's even weird how easy he opens up, sure he's a passive haha... Oh my mind thinking bullshit).
Atsuko goes back to where the party was happening and Lotte and Sucy were there. They came to the Japanese girl already wanting to know some questions mainly involving what had just happened between her and Diana and also Kagari's sudden departure.
" Hmmmm, looks like our Akko has been quite busy now " Manbavaran said already teasing.
" Look Sucy, don't get upset, I was just very embarrassed with Diana, she kind of came in a very sensual way on me, I stayed almost still without any reaction, then when I arrived I came across Andrew and went to give him a hand, I found out so much... " Akko could barely finish and already saw the two girls with malicious smiles, thinking of all the possible nonsense, already the girl with reddish eyes was half trying not to listen to the nonsense of the two, noticing that the older Cavendish was not closer to her sister.
Akko decided to just follow what her heart was telling her to do, so as not to have to put up with the mockery from her colleagues, the Japanese woman walked until she reached the Scottish girl, taking her hand, and when she noticed the presence of the girl with crimson eyes, she blushed, all this while playing Head Over Heels.
" Akko? " Asked the greenish"blonde haired one.
" Diana... " The brown"haired one runs her hand around the waist of the blue"eyed one.
" Do you want to dance this one with me? " Diana was feeling her head on her chest and was getting a bit flushed, but was just getting into the mood of the moment.
The steps were getting slower, more romantic between the two, even if there's still a feeling of friendship between both girls, the glued head of the Japanese girl over the chest of the Scottish girl, the steps from one side to the other, while the music was creating a bigger climate, without them noticing a light was even focusing with the two, that were practically disconnecting of everything.
In a little while Kagari had taken her head off over her friend's chest, noticing what she had done and all that spotlight around her, she even blushed, right at the moment that the music changed to Careless Whispers, both of them blushed a lot, but soon the Japanese girl was the one who decided to take the lead.
" Since they want to see us dancing, let's give them what they're asking for " The Japanese woman ends up holding tightly to the Scottish girl's waist, who even falls half leaning over rather blushing.
" Akko? " Diana was becoming a real tomato.
" Show me that you can dance too, I don't want to be the only one here to take this dance to a higher level, I want to see what Cavendish has to offer " Kagari said giving Cavendish a wink.
Diana holds still a little embarrassed on Akko's shoulder, but she's getting into the mood, without much reaction, much by the embarrassment, but little by little it was becoming something more comfortable for the one with greenish blond hair, they were just getting into the mood of the dance more and more, the other people around were also continuing to increase, what was decreasing the focus, leaving for the advances of the two as they danced to become even more intense, the grabbing of hands, passing by the waist, the faces getting closer.
Soon the music had arrived to the end the two faces was so close separated only by the noses touching, for almost the lips didn't touch each other, the spotlights focused on the pair, that when coming back in themselves, they open their eyes.
Embarrassed, both of them move away, observe each other blushing and from there they just run away from the whole event as if they didn't care about anything, inclusive some of the girls had taken some pictures of this moment.
What was supposed to be a dance between the boys from Appleton and the girls from Luna Nova, ended up becoming a ballad, where the highlight turned out to be the duo between Diana and Akko, who performed two dances in which things almost didn't end up intensifying, when there was almost a kiss between the two girls, who just decided to run away because they were very embarrassed.
See you, lesbian witches...
