Author Note - Considering this is the first time I've ever posted any piece of my writing up before I was quite surprised that after only a couple of hours my first chapter has been viewed by THREE people, I know three people doesn't seem to be too many but to me it's quite a few so here's the next chapter.
6th July 2008, the Loft, 12pm
OH. MY. GOD. So you know how Tina said she NEEDED to talk to me, she really wasn't half kidding. She arrived here about an hour ago, after everyone else and until she arrived I'd just figured that it was because she was still getting settled in the dorm, turns out it wasn't because of that. AT ALL! So when she arrived she did not look good, she was really pale and she looked as though she'd been up all night because she had bags under her eyes and her eyes were kind of bloodshot. So I let her in and the moment she got into the room she just burst into tears, and it was as though she couldn't stop crying so I gave her a hug, then got her to sit down at the table and grabbed her a cup of coffee.
"What's wrong?" I asked her because Tina never bursts into tears like this and her crying is NEVER uncontrollable, that's normally me.
"Boris… b-broke up w-with m-me," she told me through sobs.
I didn't know what to do because never in a million years did I think that Boris and Tina would break up so I stupidly asked "Did he say why?"
This just made Tina cry even more before she was able to say "He said that he doesn't want to be tied down to one girl while he's at Julliard," which is just crazy, I mean just because he got a couple of crazy Violin player obsessed groupies doesn't mean that he can just dump Tina at the drop of a hat.
I still had no idea what to say, I mean I really, really wanted to like maim or kill Boris so I just said exactly that which made Tina laugh for a split second but then she just started crying again and that was when Michael came in because for the entire 15 minutes I'd been at the table he'd been upstairs helping sort out my room. He just said "Hey Tina" and she just started crying even more, which made Michael give me a look that said "what on earth is going on?" So I gave him a look that said "Boris broke up with her, I'll see if I can sort it," but he just walked on toward the table (I mean I know I love Michael, and I'm really not worthy of him, no matter what Grandmere says, but I really don't understand him sometimes).
So there I am, trying to comfort one of my best friends and who should walk in but Grandmere, NOT a good mix. So she just walks on at first and then she said "Oh, Tina did that Violinist paramour of yours break up with you?" (I swear Grandmere must have super-sensory hearing or something because it wasn't as though the discussion was THAT loud or anything) and Tina just continued crying.
So then Michael, amazing boyfriend that he is, said to Grandmere "Clarisse, I believe Judge Judy maybe about to begin, why don't you turn the television on and I'll make us some tea," which I was really happy about. I was going to mention that the tea we do have in, if there is any at all, probably isn't Grandmere approved but then I decided to just settle for mouthing a "Thank You" and then allowing for him to have some extra fun tonight after dinner (Not that anyone really needed to know about that).
So since then we (as in Michael and I) finally got Tina to stop crying and then she offered to help me pack up to which I told her that she didn't have to but she insisted and so now I should probably go back to packing up the remaining things. I still have absolutely no idea as to where Fat Louie is going to stay, I don't think having him here is such a good idea, you know because of Rocky but I'll find somewhere.
