Misty's move to Cordelia's room was easily made since the girl had nothing. At first Misty did not talk much, and although she wanted to know more about the girl, Cordelia did not press her with questions for fear of frightening her. Even without saying much, Misty's presence brought joy to Cordelia, who was always alone, Misty liked to watch everything Cordelia did, Misty talked a little about how she liked plants and nature and how she missed her swamp. So it was no surprise to Cordelia when Misty was enchanted by the greenhouse.
Misty gradually became familiar with the house and decided she was ready to begin her studies, so it was agreed that the next morning Myrtle would give her schedules so she could start her studys.
The morning arrived and with her back to class.
When Cordelia went to have coffee she searched for Misty, but did not find her in a
nowhere. Since she was on time for her class, Cordelia gave up looking for her and went to her class.
Misty went to Myrtle's office to know what classes she had to attend and discovered that she would have almost every class with Cordelia except one, herbology, since Cordelia was well advanced on the subject.
CORDELIA POV
By the time her class was done, Cordelia was already tired and wanted to go to lunch, but not before finding Misty. There was no doubt in her mind that the only place she would find Misty was the greenhouse, the girl loved being in the middle of the plants as much as Cordelia. It was just another thing that brought them closer to each other.
As she approached the greenhouse, Cordelia heard music, which was strange since only those who listened to music in the greenhouse were her herbology teacher who was a big fan of Stevie Nicks. As she gets closer, Cordelia can hear…
"Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win? "
Cordelia opened the door very slowly so as not to frighten anyone who was listening to the music. Cordelia's heart beat faster to Fer Misty spinning, free, with a smile on her face, As she got closer, Cordelia could hear Rhiannon's verses playing.
"She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
Rhiannon"
Cordelia stood at the door watching the dancing girl, she whirled so freely with a smile on her face, it was contagious. Cordelia also liked that song, but she did not have that free spirit to simply dance alone, so she was content to watch Misty. After a few moments Misty saw that Cordelia was watching her from the door so she stopped dancing and extended her hand to Cordelia so that she could join her.
C: Oh Misty I'm sorry but I can't dance
M: Delia, come here you can't just stay there when this amazing song is playing. I never heard this before. What music is this
C: It's a band called Fleetwood Mac
M: I love it
C: Me too
M: Then come here and dance with me silly.
C: Misty I told you, I can't dance!
M: This is not about knowing how to dance Delia! This is about feeling!
Can't you feel how this song invades you? Do you feel how good it makes you feel? Just follow the music Delia! I will help you.
Cordelia surrendered to Misty and allowed herself to be taken by the girl to the music.
Cordelia followed Misty's movements, the two lost at that moment. Cordelia felt the butterflies in her stomach for being so close to Misty, she felt the scent of Misty, felt how smooth her skin was, Cordelia felt so many things at the same time that for a moment she felt dizzy.
The music ended and the two of them stared at each other and before either of them could say anything, the door to the greenhouse opened and a group of girls entered, chatting without paying much attention to them. Cordelia then reassembled and warned that it was time for lunch. Misty also recovered and followed Cordelia towards the house.
The rest of the day followed quietly without major events. That night they both had trouble sleeping, with their minds working a thousand miles an hour. Cordelia knew that Misty was not just a friend, but did Misty feel the same way? And what was Misty's life like before? She did not know.
The only thing she knew was that she should give the girl time.
That night Cordelia woke up to the sound of a dreaming Misty and she couldn't help but smile at how cute the girl looked.
Stop it Cordelia! This is a bad idea! She said to herself as she tried going back to sleep.
