Chapter 2: Day 1
The next morning, I awoke to the sound of bickering.
"GIVE IT!" Someone yelled.
"MAKE ME!" Someone else yelled, while a whole new voice laughed.
It didn't take me long to rub the sleep out of my eyes, realizing it was Roxy and the other two girls our year.
Roxy was chasing Kate Huftsky around the room. Kate held a silver tube of… mascara. Dark blue. I laughed, too. That was Roxy's favourite. It also happened to be the one that she lost last night before we went to bed, causing her to freak.
Across the room, Peg Holloway was laughing as Roxy tackled Kate to the ground, leaving a huge thud I'm sure they can hear from downstairs… or anywhere in the Gryffindor Headquarters, really.
Peg was a tiny girl with blonde hair, straight, to her shoulders and choppy. Her eyes were a bright blue, and her skin was creamy and smooth. She was shorter than me, and she had a huge smile and thin lips. Her cheekbones were really high, and she seemed like the loud type… when she really was only loud to her friends.
While Kate had long straight brown hair to her mid back, with regular, over-your-eyes bangs. She had an even bigger smile, and brown eyes and tan skin. She was tall, 5'5 or 5'6, and was thin, but bigger than Peg. Her lips were thicker, and she had high cheek bones and a volley-ball player's body. She was muggle-born too, so I'm sure she played volleyball.
I rolled my eyes as Roxy and Kate continued with the fight, quickly getting ready while staying out of the way.
I put my bangs up and applied a little gloss and eyeliner. I put in my dangly black earrings, they were a line of stars. When I was done in the bathroom, Peg ran in and basically slammed the door to lock it. I then changed while they were screaming into a pair of navy skinny jeans, converse and a simple black tee-shirt from Hollister. After laying my robes out on the bed, I ran out screaming as they crashed to the floor next to me.
I had my wand, that was all I needed before breakfast. I wished Peg luck getting out.
There was a growled and a screech as I walked down the stairs, followed by another bang and a crash. Finally, as I reached the bottom stair- where everyone was staring at the ceiling- Peg came running down the stairs and passed me to the Common Room's bathroom, her hair half brushed and her nightgown on over her shirt and jeans.
Hugo laughed by the fire, playing with something in his hands. I was definitely curious.
But, before I could get over there, someone grabbed my shoulder. I turned, and smiled when I saw James.
"Hey." I said, raising my eyebrows.
"Hey…" He replied, looking worriedly upstairs. "What's going on?"
I shrugged. "Girl stuff. Normal stuff for us. Kate and Roxy."
James looked scared. "Roxy's not PMSing, is she?"
I laughed out loud. "More like P.M.." (A/N: It means Pre-Menstrual something-something. It's like the 'mother load' of PMSing.)
He paled, and I laughed again. "KIDDING!"
Breathing a sigh of relief, he asked me, "How were you last night?"
I was shocked. 'After you left me there suddenly, ruining what could-have-been?' I thought. "Uh, what do you mean?"
"I mean…" He shifted uncomfortably. "Like, no crying or dreams or anything?"
I blushed. "No. Don't worry." I said, walking away and over to Lily, where she was with Quiana, the A.D.H.D girl with green eyes and chopped amber hair.
"Hey, Lils." I said, sitting on the arm of the chair they were sharing.
She looked up and smiled. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail, as was Quiana's, and they were both wearing their robes.
Quiana looked at me and held her hand out. I shook it, smiling. "I'm Quiana, Lily's new friend! Are you her sister?"
I smiled. "No. I'm her friend, too. I'm Rebecca. But people call me Jeanie."
"Well," She said smartly. She actually reminded me of Aunt Hermione. "You're very pretty."
"Thanks", I blushed.
Lily smiled and agreed, making me blush harder. Then Hugo came over with a camera, which I noticed was what he was playing with before, and snapped a picture of me blushing and the girls smiling.
"Hugo, let's take one of us!" I told him and grabbed the camera.
I pulled him to my chest and held the camera up, smiling. When I looked at it, though, Hugo was rolling his eyes. So, I took another of me and him, but when I looked at it again, James was in it, with a very retarded look.
So, I gave him back the camera and searched for James.
-R-
James was hiding behind a pant. How creative.
By the time we got to our table in the Dining Hall, with James rubbing his arm I might add, the other tables were already getting their schedules.
Miss Gerloch smiled as she handed out our schedules, and I groaned. How could she be happy bout this:
Fourth Year Gryffindor: Rebecca Jeanie
8-8:55 am: Transfiguration (Hufflepuff)- Prof. Herman
9-10 am: Potions (Slytherin)- Professor Grumps
10:05-11 am: Herbology (Slytherin)- Prof. Longbottom
11:05-12 pm: DADA (Slytherin)- Prof Plump
12-1 pm: Lunch
1-2 pm: Ancient Runes - Prof Kiki
2:05-3 pm: History of Magic (Slytherin)- Miss Gerloch
3:05-4pm: Care of Magical Creatures- Prof Halen
I groaned, along with the other Fourth years here and at Slytherin.
Roxy and Kate ran to the table, smiling and looking beat. I rolled my eyes. Their 'innocence' wasn't fooling me.
-J-
After breakfast- bacon, cereal, hash browns and eggs- I ran up to quickly get my robes and to my first class. I ate longer than I intended and it was now 7:55. My class stared in 5 minutes. It was across the castle. Sue me now.
A/N: Sorry about the short chapter. If your wondering what the -J- and -R- are, well, they are like bench markers to tell you were time has passed. J is for James and R is for Rebecca. Well, I'm probably gonna update again tonight or tomorrow. And… REVIEW PLEASE!
(NEXT CHAPTER IS QUIDDITCH TRYOUTS AND MAYBE A LITTLE ACCIDENT THAT BRINGS THEM TOGETHER… only to break them apart soon! And you'll see why Hugo is taking pictures, but for now you'll see him having a camera a lot.)
