Casa de Cortella

You arrive at a set of wrought iron gates about a mile from a large house. Once permitted entrance, you ride up the path to a massive house. Mansion is the only way to describe the home Issy has spoken little of. The terrace is large and welcoming, with patio furniture set up around a spouting, stone fountain, on the cobble stones. Wide glass doors await you in the shade of a balcony from above. Once inside, the entrance hall leads off in three different directions.

To the left is the wing where the Cortella parents reside; master bedroom and en suite, an office and Raphael’s library. The right is Issy and Mattio’s wing – two restrooms and a wash room, and two bedrooms, the largest belonging to Issy.

Going forward into the house leads to a spiral staircase and a short hall. Down the hall, to the left, is a communal restroom and washroom. Across the hall is the Family Room, with overstuffed couches and arm chairs, a fireplace, and fancy paintings. At the end of this hall is a large, spacious kitchen with marble floors and granite counter tops, an island and five stools and top of the line appliances. A door in the kitchen leads out back to a sunroom.

Upstairs, the staircase leads to a landing with numerous branches. Both left and right lead to guest bedrooms and beside each are washrooms and restrooms. Across the landing from this is a vast library filled with books, from Issy and Matti’s childhood and on. A door at the back leads to a larger balcony patio, which is above the kitchen and overlooks the backyard. Forward is a door leading to a small balcony that overlooks the front terrace of the house.

Downstairs, outside the sunroom is a patio, similar to the terrace out front. A short distance from the house is a small pool with diving board. Further out is a small pond and a smaller building, similar to the house. This is where Lorelei, the cook, Tomás, the butler, and Fredreich live. Still further out is a barn for Gaia, the pony. Along the path are numerous, numerous trees, some that produce fruit in the early fall.

Welcome to Casa de Cortella.

For the month of July, Issy has invited her friends from Hogwarts to stay for a visit. They've been allowed to bring with them their pets and whatever non-electronic possessions they desire. Most supervision actually falls with Lorelei and Tomás, as Issy's parents are most often away and out of town. Out of the country.

So, what unfolds once Issy has her eclectic group of friends in one place? How do Mattio and Fredreich feel about Issy's new friends? And how does Issy and Callie's rivalry fare under one roof? Can they really survive drama free? (HAH!)

OoC: Okay, if I don't yet have your color, just go ahead and post in it and I'll just edit it into the post above. With that, we begin. Just have your kids start showing up, yeah? YAY!

Did it seem too over eager to wait in the entrance hall for the arrival of her friends? Even if that was the case, Issy did, seated on a plush cushioned chair with a book in her lap. Ever since visiting Hogwarts, her house just seemed to lack the luster it used to have, even with Fredreich letting her win at their board games. Even still, the house seemed quiet and, relieved as she was to be back home, things felt uneasy and unsettled without the chaos of Hogwarts, the drama of she and Callie and the moments and tension of she and Samson. So, admittedly, over eagerly she awaited the arrival of her friends, watching the drive way that lead to the iron gates at the edge of their property.

As she sat, Issy nervously fidgeted with the lace on her yellow cami, the one that she paired over her red polo, as a tribute to Callie. Callie, it was well known, was a big fan of fashion and stuff and while it felt a little uncomfortable, Issy decided to go ahead and layer off. Plus, the shirt was new and came from Fredreich. Standing up and dropping her book, Issy rose and peeked out the glass doors again. Outside, the weather was beautiful. It was a warm day with sun shining, nice and toasty, with nice cool breezes that cut the heat to a tolerable level. What she really wanted, she decided, was to get out there.

“Matti! Fredreich!” the little girl yelled. “MATTIO! FREDREIIICH!”

They were going outside, she decided.

The first to appear through the archway of the entry hall was a tall boy with moppy, somewhat disheveled dark hair with a fringe that fell into his grey eyes. He towered considerably over the short girl by almost two feet, standing at a lanky six three over her not even five foot stature. On his face was a crooked smile and smudges of dirt on his cheeks that matched the dirt on his jeans and white shirt.

“You bellowed, Madame Tellie?” Fredreich teased in a posh accent, a dimple in his left cheek momentarily visible.

Fredreich was somewhat of a farmhand. Not really a part of the family but not exactly hired help, the orphan had been taken in by the Cortella family and, as he got older, opted to work and help the family out. Often, the seventeen year old spent his time out in Gaia’s barn, or gardening.

“We’re going outside!” Issy crooned, biting her lip and beaming happily. “Maybe Lorelei can make some lemonade, too, and we can bring out the cookies she made and we can wait outside for everyone and have a sort of little party out on the terrace. What d’ya think?”

The boy merely chuckled at Issy, reached out, and ruffled her loose hair. “Sounds like a nice idea, Tellie,” he told her, leaning back against the arch way. “Pray tell. Remind me about your friends again, real fast? Quick refresher?”

There was so many of them it was hard to keep them all in mind.

Gladly, Issy nodded. “Right. They’ll be here, soon. Juni has curly hair and loves animals and plants. Show her Gaia. And Lark and Kiera. Callie is really picky about how she looks so tell her she looks pretty. Sabrina is kinda klutzy and all, so if she trips, don’t laugh at her, only with here, okay? Emma-Lee is a veggie so never offer any meat. Aiden is hyper and loves butterbeer. And he’s loud. Just play with him. Samson can be moody so just go with his moods and don’t make him angry. It’s real easy. And Gavin is playful and silly and likes to have fun.”

“…right…”

“MATTIO GET DOWN HERE!”

*pgspickles* · 03-19-2008, 04:25 AM

Callie drove through the iron gates as the mansion loomed overhead. Issy had never been the one to gloat her money, but yet some how it did seem impossible that she had it. She never even mentioned what her parents did or that she had any, but yet it was all their in proof that she was rich and it showed.

As her shoffered car pulled around the bend with the fountain, Callie checked in the mirror to make sure everything was satisfactory. Her curly blonde hair was down and brushed back past her shoulders with her side bangs just right, her make-up flawless, her teeth gleaming white, and her clothes perfect. It had taken her an hour to decide what to wear and went with the medium blue jeans, black top that definitely needed a cami underneathe it, and an ensamble of matching jewelery. She needed to look presentable to say the least.

As the car pulled to a stop, Callie took a deep breath and put her sunglasses on. The door was then opened by her shoffer. She stepped out and nodded at him. "Thanks. Issy will tell me where my bags go. Just follow her."she spoke to him and then walked toward the steps and up them.

Callie climbed the steps and was surprised that Issy hasn't been running down them when she pulled up. Being Callie, she decided to call for Issy. "Hey! Is anyone home?!" she called out and turned around to her car and looked over the estate's grounds. This was going to be one fun summer.

Hermione_loves_Ron · 03-19-2008, 06:10 AM

Unlike Issy, Callie was not at all shy about her money. And with a limo and chauffeur, the sunglasses and "Hollywood"-esque style, it was undeniable. Callie was high class and seemed to expect to be catered to. Turning to Fredreich, she arched her brows, glanced once for her brother, and then turned to the door, prancing over and throwing them open.

Her momentary miffed feeling passed over, though, because Issy found that she'd certainly missed Callie, even if their friendship was tenuous and shakey.

Laughing lightly, she opened the door. "Haven't you heard of knocking?" she teased, Fredreich behind her.

This one, Fredreich decided, had to be Callie. She wore the type of outfit that seemed to have been dwelled upon and more make up than any self-respecting twelve year old should be toting. He nodded a hello at her, lounging in the door way behind Issy, eyeing the bags. He'd be the one to take them.

Rooms ready? Check.
Food prepared? Check.
Excedrin stocked up on?
Check.
Check.
CHECK.

He turned up the left side of his crooked smile at the girl, before turning to Callie. "Want me to take her bags?"

Turning to Fredreich, Issy flashed a brilliant smile.

"Nah...." she decided. "We can take them. You go check with Lorelei, okay?" She turned to Fredreich, reaching up and gently nudging at his stomach with her hands. "You were just in the garden. Go get the lemonade and clean up."

Obediently, Fredreich turned to leave.

"Yaaay you made it!" Issy crooned, turning back to Callie. "You're the fist one here!"

*pgspickles* · 03-19-2008, 06:29 AM

Callie was watching the clouds above as the shuffed past, every once in a while one of them big enough to cover the sun from Callie's already tan face. She was going to like this, or at least she would make it work. She would try and anything that Issy had to make it better would definitely suit her.

Hearing the sound of Issy's voice and the click of a door being opened she smiled and turned around to see her friend. Her friend. Yes that is exactly what she would call Issy, her friend.

She saw Issy in the cutest outfit she had ever seen her wear and smiled as she went to hug her. "I love the outfit," she commented with a smile and then added, "Yes I have, but I was sure you'd be out to great people and I wouldn't need too." and then hugged her friend.

As she was hugging Issy, she glanced up to see a boy in the door, covered in dirt with a crooked smile on his face like he already knew who she was, but yet still there with guests coming. And you are? She unlocked from the hug and before she could get any more words out, the boy behind them spoke.

Callie waited as Issy spoke to the boy, but when she heard the words about them carring it in themselves she had to strain to keep her mouth from dropping to the porch floor. She gulped, hopefully silently, and turned back to her driver. "Just leave them there. I'll take them in." she spoke to him and watched him drop the bags and get in the car and drive off probably thinking something about how he had never seen this before from her. And he was right.

She turned back at Issy, still smiling, maybe a little more fakely now, and said, "Well then lets great the rest when they come shall we." One minute down. 500 billion more to go.

Waddles · 03-19-2008, 06:44 AM

Juniper stared out of her mother’s car with wide eyes as they passed through the gates. She would never have guessed that Issy would live in a place like this. Callie, yes. Aiden, possibly. But Issy? The size of just the grounds amazed her. Surely a month with her friends could not be too awkward in a place like this.

When the car pulled to a stop in the front of the house, Juniper bit her lip and looked at her mother. She smiled weakly and assured her mother that she still wanted to do this before hopping out of the small tan car and hefting her few bags out of the trunk. The bare minimum was all Juniper wanted and needed.

There were people gathered around the doorway, and it was toward them that Juniper walked. As she got closer she realized that one was Callie, one was Issy, and one was some boy that she did not know. Juniper hoped that she was not expected to know who the boy was.

Juniper broke into a trot, the sooner to reach the steps, as she heard her mother drive away. “Hi, Issy, Callie,” she panted quietly, looking at the two girls before dropping her gaze to her feet.

Hermione_loves_Ron · 03-19-2008, 07:34 AM

Friendship with Callie had always been tunuous. After the fight they'd had that past winter, Issy wasn't always sure how to act around Callie. They'd made up but things still seemed tenuous between them. But they seemed to be getting along, so she smiled and hugged Callie back, thanking her for the compliment about her outfit.

The fake smile Issy did catch, though. It'd come after Issy had sent Fredreich away, towards the kitchen to Lorelei. She merely smiled.

"You don't mind, right?" she asked. "Carrying your bags? I don't wanna make Fredreich do it - he does so much else around here. He deserves a break. He's gonna get us some lemonade, so we can sit out on the terrace and wait for the others. That's where I was headed when you showed up, actually."

She eyed the archway, waiting impatiently for her seven-year-old brother. Was he taking a nap?

In that moment, another car pulled up, and Issy glanced up as well. The car was no limo, and out stepped Juni. A wide grin crossed Issy's face and she almost leapt down after the curly haired girl. She hadn't done that for Callie, though, and was uncertain if she'd take offense to that. Instead, she waved and happily called out, "Juni! Hey!"

As the car began to pull away, Issy waved to the womand driving, presumably her mother and beamed at Juni.

"Yaaay yaaay you're here!"

A few moments later, Fredreich reappeared, taking in the curly haired girl. Juni, he told himself with a subtle nod, watching Issy prance around happily. That was the Tellie he'd missed - when she came home, she was happy and excited, yeah. But she still had seemed lackluster and a part of her hadn't seemed to come home from Hogwarts.

But here she was, he thought with a fond smile. The happy, prancey, giddy Tellie that he was best friends with.

"Lorelei will bring the lemonade and cookies out in a little while," he informed the girls, watching Tellie with a grin.

Harmonizer · 03-19-2008, 08:24 AM

Samson had already fallen asleep in the horse-drawn carriage that Issy had sent for him. He felt right at home. His mother had insisted that he bring the driver and the limousine all the way over here, but Sam hated being too flashy. Matter of fact, he hated their limo. He hated their driver. He hated the fact that they were more than middle-class, but less than rich. He just wished he could have a normal, possibly poor or middle-class family, and nothing else. Eh. Mothers.

The carriage must've hit a bump in the road, for Sam bounced and jolted in his sleep, and he woke up suddenly. It was a good thing he didn't completely fall of his seat. He raised his head, squinted his eyes as he looked out the window, just as the sun was filtering through. "Uggh.." he groaned quietly, then sat up, scratching his head, and ruffling his hair violently. The coach driver must've heard him, for he suddenly heard a voice from the outside, behind him. His posh, British accent sort of got to him. Maybe it was because Sam didn't have an accent of his own. "Are you alright in there, sir?" He raised his eyebrow at the driver as his words took a moment to register, then he shrugged. "What? Oh, yeah yeah. Sure. Just..." he trailed off, then pulled back the curtains of the window. "Are we there yet?" he asked, slightly impatient, though he could see a shapely house from a distance.

Mr. Coach Driver secretly rolled his eyes and cleared his throat then. "Just a few more miles, sir," he replied, a little impatience in his voice as well. Eh, it wasn't Samson's fault, really. It was in his nature. Like, he had this gangster-ish attitude that he couldn't hold back. "Okay then..." he muttered quietly. He fumbled with his fingers slightly, wondering what on earth Issy might've been thinking when she decided to invite him over. Maybe it was because she thought they were super best friends. Well, he did like to think so, but he didn't think so (huh?). She had better friends than he, who didn't fight with her and make her cry. Or maybe it was so she could show off her riches and stuff. Eh, Sam didn't care much for her riches. He hated riches. It made people snooty and full of themselves and boastful and all that. Well, whatever her reason was, he coudn't say that he wasn't thankful. Because he was. At least Issy saw him as something more than a meanie. And he had nothing better to do back at home anyway. He was sick of his sister. Oh, and he had heard that Gavin would be there. That was certainly reason enough.

"Hey mister!" Sam chirped, suddenly quite bored. "What's it like driving horses day in and day out?" Eh. He didn't have anything better to do, did he? So he'd strike up a conversation. He wasn't a people person, really, but this was better than sitting in silence in that stuffy carriage. At least, by poking his head out of the window and talking with the driver, he'd get some much needed fresh air, a good view of where they were going and how far away they were, and some entertainment. He could evidently see the brow of the driver go up, even when he only turned his head slightly. "It's a living," the driver replied simply, and Sam frowned. He wasn't satisfied with that answer. It was boring! Okay, so it was childish of him to think so, but he didn't want to rot away inside the carriage even before getting to Issy's place. "Oh," he said quietly, before peeking out ahead of them, and so it was his turn to raise a curious eyebrow. "Is that it?" he asked pointedly, looking straight on at the large manor that they were heading for. Huh, so it was a big house. He looked up, and noticed the driver nod.

As soon as the gates opened and they rode along the pathways leading to the front of the house, Sam retreated back inside and folded his arms across his chest. He wasn't excited. Of course he wasn't! He just had butterflies in his stomach for no particular reason, that was all. Maybe his tummy was upset. After all, he hadn't had any breakfast or lunch. He half-hoped that Issy had some food ready and waiting for his arrival. He snorted to himself at the thought. He honestly did wonder what was waiting for him once he got there.

Soon, the carriage came to a stop. The driver got down from the driver's seat and opened Sam's door for him. He looked out, and noticed that there were already other people there, aside from Issy and two other guys he did not recognize. He assumed they weren't from Hogwarts. Looking around, he saw Juniper the animal lover was there, and much to his dislike, so was Callie. That annoying, arrogant, stubborn girl who refused to leave him alone. He gave a huff when he saw her. Finally, he jumped out of the carriage, not bothering to take the steps that were present. His flip-flops hit the ground with a clack, and his hair ruffled a bit more. He shoved his hands in the pockets of his khaki shorts and walked towards them. "Hey Issy!" he greeted cheerfully, nodding at her. Then he turned to the others. "Hey there Juni..." He looked at Callie. "Now, what're you doing here?" He asked point-blank, narrowing his eyes at her. He didn't even bother thinking about it. He didn't like Callie, period. He then flicked his gaze to the other boy, and flashed a wide, childish, rather exaggerated grin at him.

His face then returned to it's calm, emotionless state as he looked around the house. He gave a low whistle. "Some house you got here, Issy," he commented, nodding his head.

Hermione_loves_Ron · 03-19-2008, 08:51 AM

"Samson!"

It was probably childish and certainly over eager but Issy felt a silly thrill run through her as she saw the carriage pull up, knowing full well it was Samson in there. She jumped up and pushed past Callie and Juni, starting for the steps as Samson jumped out and walked toward them, a wide grin plastered on her face.

Samson was the one she'd missed the most, with Juni.

He was her closest friend, with Juni.

Eagerly, she waited at the steps, beaming happily at him.

Behind her, Fredreich arched his brows.

Ahhh... right. A slow smile crossed his face and he nodded a hello at the newly arrived boy. So he was Samson. The infamous Samson that randomly appeared in her letters to home. Had she not even said his name, Fredreich would have known, from the way Issy got all excited and the bright smile on her face.

"Samson, be nice," she chided in a voice that sounded nothing like a lecture. "You know Callie is my friend. She's gonna be here, too. You want anything to eat? Lorelei is bringing cookies."

His statment about her house merely made her flush and look away, pursing her lips and looking over her shoulder at Fredreich for a moment.

"Nah. It's just... Mum and Dad. They work a lot, y'know?"

Money wasn't a flaunt Tellie cared much, for, Fredreich knew, and he took a few strides towards the girl, giving her a half hug.

"Gonna introduce me?" he teaed, nodding hello at everyone. "I'm Fredreich. The orphan house keeper." His crooked smile came back to view.

Faerilicious · 03-19-2008, 10:06 AM

Sabrina squealed in delight. She was practically jumping in the passenger seat and she could see her father roll his eyes from the corner of her eye. Hmph. He won't ever understand how much excited she got on things like this. And to think she'll be spending her summer with Issy and friends. Her eyes narrowed as she noticed the house in front of which her father stopped the car. Issy never mentioned that she lived in such a big house. It was as big as her own.

The thought of the size of the house and the grounds abandoned her mind as soon as she spotted her friends. Jumping out of the car, she waved at them as her father came around with her bags.

"Have fun!" Her father said as she kissed him on his cheek and then walked towards the cluster of people who stood there already. "Thanks Dad! Baaai!" She could see Sam from where she stood. OMG! Sam was there?! WOW!

"Haaaaiii Issy!" She said as she stopped in front of them. "JUNI!" You could see the sparkle in her eyes as she looked at them. "And Sam!" She then noticed a few others whom she didn't know. "Hey there!" She said, not wanting to sound rude.

Harmonizer · 03-19-2008, 10:07 AM

Samson shrugged as he kept looking around the house. When Issy told him off, he turned his attention to her and wrinkled her nose. "You could've told me Callie would be here too," he said, a bit irritated. "I would've come tomorrow at some other time, and since your house seems big enough, then I guess I could've avoided her and all." He shrugged. So what if he was talking about Callie like she wasn't right there? He didn't like the girl, okay? He and Callie had already established their hatred for each other back at Hogwarts. So yeah.

Then he stepped towards the door, still looking around, tilting his head this way and that. Though, as much as the large house intrigued him, he was not at all interested in having one just like it. He was kind of proud of Issy, for not being the snooty, snobbish type of rich person.

"Yeah, you've mentioned your father working extensively," he said. "At least, I think you have..." he added quickly. He wasn't sure whether she had told him or he had heard it while she and Gav were talking that day in the halls.

At the sound of cookies, he beamed. "Cookies! Okay then. Anything. I'm hungry," he said, patting his stomach slightly. He looked to his side, and there was the other boy who introduced himself. He raised his eyebrow, but then realized that this was the boy Issy was always talking about. Hm. Servant boy? Not likely. He wouldn't be surprised if this tall, buffed guy was Issy's guy. In fact, she had talked about him a lot back at Hogwarts. So maybe it was so.

He nodded at the guy as he introduced himself, and grabbed him by the hand. "Nice meeting you, Fred. I'm Samson Carswell. Call me Sam. Nice place you got here!" he piped up, grin still in place, like he was a tourist seeing a new place for the first time. He didn't even pay attention to the way his arm was around Issy so intimitaley.

...Suddenly, another car pulled up by the driveway, and Sam looked at it curiously. To his surprise, Sabrina came out. He grinned widely and walked over to her. "Saaab!" he said, rather enthusiastically. He didn't know she'd be here. And, being the only real girl friend he didn't actually consider a girl, he was kind of relieved. Now if only Gavin showed up...

Hermione_loves_Ron · 03-19-2008, 10:50 AM

Sabrina's arrival was, by far, the most enthusiastic. That merely fed Issy's enthusiasm and made her feel giddy. She jumped up and down, bouncing away from Samson and Fredreich and to the stairs, jumping down the stairs and throwing herself into a hug with Sabrina.

"Yaay yaaay yaaaay!" she callled with glee, pulling away and tugging Sabrina up the stairs to the small gathering crowd.

So many of her friends in one place with her home and Fredreich and she was over joyed.

Thrilled.

Ecstatic was a drastic understatement.

She wasn't thinking much, which was understandable with the way her head buzzed and she wanted to run around in circles.

Turning to Samson, she grinned. "Don't worry. Lorelei will be out with cookies and lemonade, soon."

Fredreich nodded at Samson, shaking his hand and smiling politely.

"Actually, it's Fredreich," he said, pronouncing his name in a German accent. "Freed-rick. But I'll let it slide this time, since you're a friend of Tellie's okay?" Then, nodding at Tellie, he set off back into the house. "I'll go grab the cookies, alright?"

This would be a long month, he felt. Was the house actually big enough for all these people?

Faerilicious · 03-19-2008, 11:10 AM

"SAMSON!" Sabrina said again when she noticed his pleasure in seeing her there. She had only managed to do that much when her eyes locked on Issy who threw herself onto Sabrina. This caused the bag in Sabrina's hand to fall on the floor, making a soft noise as it hit the floor.

Yup. She was happy she was here. This had to be the best summer she'll have so far. Maybe she could invite them next summer. At her house.

She giggled as Issy lead her up the stairs to where all the other's stood. "Thank you SOO much for inviting me!" She said as she climbed up the stairs with her. She really was greatful. "And you have a beautiful house."

"Hungry already, Sam?" She asked him teasingly. Surely he must have only arrived a few minutes before her. He couldn't be hungry THAT fast! Unless he had been careless enough not to have breakfast.

Pigwidgeon Took · 03-19-2008, 12:06 PM

Emma-Lee was getting slightly bored out of her mind here, this seemed like such a long road to go down, winding and such. She was getting restless, wanted to run somewhere, let her energy out. Her mom drove dreadfully slow, it seemed, and she didn't appreciate it. But, at least it gave her some time to observe the birds and other animals around her. Finally, after what felt like an eternity in the rickety old little car, a house came into view... no, a castle. This house was at least twice the size of her own.

Emma-Lee's face went from slightly amused and yet bored to pure, utter shock and amazement. Issy never spoke about parents, or money, and figured that she had little of either, but it seemed to be quite the opposite. Even Emma-Lee's mother's face dropped into awe and the car slowed to a crawl, with her attention completely focused on the house, rather than the road.

A few minutes later, Emma-Lee was retrieving her bag from the trunk, yes, she had one large hemp bag slung over her shoulder, plus the messenger bag with drawings all over it that she never parted with, to survive her for a month. An amazed smile was on her face constantly, from the moment her leather sandles hit the dirt to the moment she greeted Issy and her... friends on the porch.

"Hey Is... this is amazing! It's... gargantuan... Sorry." she said and looked down a bit, then through her arms around her considrably smaller friend, "How've you been?" she asked, and looked around to see who all was here.

She didn't know anyone else very well, Callie was dressed as if going to a formal party, not simply going over to a friends house. Emma-Lee had on quite the opposite, with some loose fitting green cotton pants, whose knee pockets were bulging with necessaries. She had a purple and orange tie-dyed tank top, with a bright green peace sign oriented in the middle, with a loose fitting camo shirt, much like ancient muggle military men wore. While Callie, a good 2 years younger than her, looked quite older, tho drastically shorter, with all the makeup and material nonsense things, Emma had never worn any makeup, not once in her life, and her long red hair was thrown up in 2 loose fitting braids the night before, which looked quite messy, for she hadn't brushed it this morning.

That was Emma-Lee, standing there, looking quite the outcast, but very much content with herself, in the midst of Issy and her very well-to-do looking friends. "Hey Juni," she said, greeting Juniper, Issy's friend whom she most closely got along with.

Matti ran down the stairs, trying to take them 2 at a time, but nearly fell twice, and slowed down. "WHAAAAATTTT!?!?!?!" he yelled down, only too late to stop the noise from emitting out of his mouth. He noticed the visitors only too late, and grinned sheepishly at them. "Oooh...." he said quietly, and scooted around Fredreich, and out the door onto the porch. "Umm... Hehe." he said sheepishly, "Sorry 'bout that, Ississy..." he stuttered, and gulped as if he'd just said a bad word. "I mean... Hi all." he said nervously and wanted badly to scoot quickly back inside, but he was only just there, and couldn't do that yet... could he?

*pgspickles* · 03-19-2008, 05:17 PM

Callie shook her head when Issy did catch the fakeness after while. "No I don't, just not use to it thats all." She replied genuienly. That was...odd...but it felt good...I think. "And of course not. I can do it. My muscles need to be used every once in a while." she kidded and then saw Issy bounced down the stairs with a smile on her face.

She turned to see Juniper heading for the stairs and Issy bouncing toward her at full speed with a gigantic grin on her face. She had never seen that before, excpet maybe the first time she met Issy. She waved to Juniper, not sure if she was willing to recieve a hug from Callie since Issy probably told her all about the fight and such. Callie figured if she was going to survive she wouldn't be able to do anything fake. At least under Issy's roof.

The boy that was in the door frame earlier had now come back and said something, but Callie wasn't paying much attention cause another car had just pulled up. And out of it stepped Samson. The boy she detested. The boy Issy secretly liked. The boy that had as much of a big mouth as she did, and before Callie could even greet him with a polite 'Hello' he had already started the verbal abuse.

Callie was just about to give him a right full back, but then Issy stepped in for her defense. I knew I liked Issy when I first saw her, maybe not what she was wearing, but yet some how I knew. "Thanks Issy," she thanked and then turned to Samson and still greeted him with respect, not that he had done the same. "Its nice to see you too." she added with a smile, but her eyes tried not to give away to much at the evilness in them. She had plans when they weren't with anyone. Time was all she needed.

Suddenly the boy appeared at out of the background, and was asking to be introduced. Callie hadn't seen him up close, but now, she notice that he was not covered in dirt anymore. "I'm Callie." she said with a smile. "But for some reason, I think you know that." she added. She mentally patted her gut. Your the best for knowing things.

As soon as she introduced herself another car pulled up and a girl she had not met bounced out. Callie smiled at the girl as she greeted her, obviously not wanting to make Callie feel left out. Callie waved back and politely said, which was still odd, "Hey. I'm Callie." Maybe this would be easier than expected. Making friends that is. Except for Samson. He is already off my list.

As the new girl hugged Samson, obviously knowing him, another person had driven up and was getting out of the car. She had never seen her before either, but she looked older then a meer first or second year. She noticed that she had looked Callie up and down when she spotted her. She better not get any ideas. Stop. Be nice. She also waved at thte girl with a smile and greeted her with a "Hello."

Suddenly a whirlwind came out of the house and it looked like this was Issy's little brother. He seemed quite embarrased to make such noise. She silently giggled at him and waved back at his hello and then turned back toward Issy. So now what?
