Beeeeeezus + eriiiiin Quote:
Looking at Beezus' sneakers again, she saw the pouting which indicates offended!Beezus. "I like heels. I like flats. I like sneakers too, but believe me, sneakers are meant for shorts and denims, that's just in my own opinion. I love you for whoever you are bestfriend," Erin reassured Beezus. So, are they good now? Are they? Hehe. Elise Fairfield. "Well, it all started in my second year rebel days. You know I don't really get along well during those days with Tina, my sister, you know her right? I met Enya and then I met Elise. And things happened. We got closer when you drifted away or I. Or..." she took a glance at Beezus. What would she say? Ack! That's a very sensitive topic but she promised her bestfriend that everything will be revealed today. "..er, I mean, we got really close in our third term. And she has nowhere to go during the summer so I invited her in." She needed help. Badly needed help. Yes, Erin had a new home. "I did. I have. Well, to make it clear, I didn't only got a new home. I got a new life. A new family." That came sooner as expected. And she wouldn't cry. Of course, she wouldn't. She loved her family. She loved everything about them. Every little details. "Can we move it for later? The snack?" Erin asked Beezus pleading. She badly wanted to play. Those Shrunken heads, awww! Beautifully crafted creatures. "Let's play first, please, please, please." "But I like her cooking," Erin complained while Beezus was talking about her grandmother's weird thoughts of food delicacies. The memories of her summer with Beezus' family echoed in her head. |
lame :P *blames school* Quote:
Oh, Erin. Why'd you have to condemn the girl's sense of fashion? Getting rid of the pout and swapping it for a grin with matching knotted eyebrows, the Ravenclaw eyed her best friend. "Really? Well..I always knew dresses didn't come too well with sneakers but Erin, you know me..I don't like being too girly and all." Maybe that would change as time goes by. Hopefully. "Though I sometimes envy your fashion sense. You always look good." Yup, even in those simple jeans she was wearing. SMIRK. OH. Errr...those days, huh? "Yes, Tina." Beezus muttered when Erin mentioned her sister. Of course she knew the girl. Nod, nod. "I see.. I'm glad really. I think Elise is nice." For the few times they had accompanied each other, well, she enjoyed it. "What happened to her anyway? What do you mean she doesn't have anywhere to go to?" Didn't she have a house? "Did she ran away from home?" MERLIN'SPANTS! When did that happen? Beezus stopped on her tracks, unable to say anything as her eyes widened. Erin had a new family? No. Really? "Wait. Wait. Wait. I don't get it. You have a new family? How did you have a new family?" Did her parents abandon her and sent her to an orphanage? But it can't be. Erin's family wasn't like that. They were even close-knitted. "Tell me...what really happened?" on those weeks and months that we haven't turned a hair about each other. |
Caedwyn took a seat at the end of lane one so she could pull off her shoes and slip on those provided by the "I'm not sure how I feel about putting my hand on... a face. Do you suppose that was ever someone? I mean..." Well. Real shrunken heads belonged to PEOPLE. She couldn't bowl with people!parts. |
Quote:
"I think it's been awhile since the heads were considered... human." He responded considerately. "They're rude as all get out, difficult to give them that level of respect." Hm. Maybe that man behind the counter belonged in a place like this after all. "I'm sure we could conjure up some gloves if needed though." Indirect contact was better than skin-to-head. |
Quote:
She walked on to one corner and invited Beezus to go wear their bowling shoes now. She went on removing her own shoes and replacing it with the shoes the bowling center provided them. "Yeah. She is nice. But sometimes, I just find her too fragile. Too emotional. Er, but still I consider her as my bestfriend, well apart from you of course." That was the reason of their silent fight before, however since they've already resolved the issue, they could talk about it now, right? "I can have one, can I? You have your bestie," she mockingly stuck her tongue out towards Beezus. Elise? Ran away from home? Beezus sounded like her mother. "No, no. Her father was in St. Mungo's and her siblings were in uni so she's got nowhere to go." Erin knew this would be how Beezus would react. She had this on her mind, way before planning to tell her everything. "Woah. Calm down," Erin gave in a tiny but surprised smile. "Uhm, on our second year, do you remember I went back home before Christmas? I was intrigued as to why..." She went back to her bowling shoes and tied the knots. Oh, they were comfy. |
Quote:
Arriving at the corner, she slumped down on the bench and slowly took off her shoes before sliding in the provided footwear by the man behind the counter It was like they were having an agreement on who gets to talk to a handsome Professor first. She didn't mind, really. Her care for Erin and Indy were equal in nature but she met Erin first and with the current state of her and Indy's friendship, she was unsure if she even had a bestie anymore. Tearing away her eyes from her bestfriend, she averted her gaze to the other players already starting their game on lane 1. "Actually...Indy and I are not in very good terms right now." Beezus sighed. And the reason? Pfft. Something she still couldn't understand. Now, unto the part she didn't quite get. She moved her eyes back to the fellow eagle and shrugged nonchalantly. "Okay, I'm calm. Now tell me." It was half-demanded, half-requested. During Christmas? Yes, yes. She remembered. Why? "Yeah.. what happened then?" A quizzical look embroidered over her young features. |
Quote:
She WAS. "Nevermind. Don't tell me. I'm sure I won't care as soon as one of them calls me names or sneezes on my palm or something." She scooted closer to the lane and eyed the heads speculatively. |
Quote:
Shoes all ready. Beezus. Check. Erin. Check. Now, ready to bowl. "She doesn't have a mother anymore. Hers died. Just like mine." Well, that was before because her real mother was alive and kicking. She hoped the next statements wouldn't confused Beezus. She wanted her to understand, really. But before she could start her story, WHAAAAT? Indy and Beezus are not in good terms? How long did the ignoring issue happened actually for it made the both of them meet some few good treasurable friends. Erin doesn't really know Indy, they've never been formally introduced for the past three terms they were schoolmates and batchmates in Hogwarts. But she thinks she's nice, she's Beezus' bestie after all and what Beezus likes, Erin likes. "Why? What's the problem?" Erin was a bestfriend, couldn't she ask a little thing about the bestie? Just a bit of course, too much would probably taken by Beezus as invasion of bestie privacy. One thing, Erin wouldn't like others messing with her either. She's, er, a bit possessive. Trying to concentrate on their discussion, Erin couldn't help but notice the cool shruken heads they'd be dealing with later, they weren't cute at all. They were ugly, even. "Er, if only you wanted to share of course, "Erin added. And now, onto the new family. What really happened that day was still a cloudy part of Erin's life. She didn't understand her father for giving her up, how her real parents found her, how she easily let herself go with them. But one thing was for sure, she was HAPPY, is happy and always will be happy with her biological one. Nod. She smiled before responding, "I..er..Let's put it this way, I lived my life happy when I was young, cursed my father for changing when my mother died and cursed him even more when he gave me away for some random people I didn't even had a slight familiarity with. Yes," she glanced towards Beezus, "...I am adopted. And I never knew until my parents came to our house's door and told me they were my real parents." How could Erin keep the aura cool? Perhaps because of the shrunken heads around them? So, Beezus!reaction? |
Quote:
Seeing that the fellow eagle was done changing, she pulled her towards the lane. "Oh? I feel sorry for Elise." Knowing your mother is dead is very traumatic. That's why she's thankful that even though her Mom won't acknowledge her as her daughter, at least she was still alive. "How's she coping with the loss Erin?" Personally, she thought the whole running away thing wasn't a such a great idea. However, given the reasons, Elise didn't really ran away. She only needed a place to stay. "It's very nice of you to let her stay at your place. Lest she won't feel so alone." Beezus nodded. That's why she loved Erin. The girl won't turn a friend down. Oh? The problem? Between her and Indy? An expression that looked somewhat like a grimace and frustration filled her face as she eyed the shrunken heads on the large narrow metal tray where it was neatly arranged on. "Actually..." hmmm. What exactly was the best way to say it? "..she and......her boyfriend broke up, I knew he was planning on breaking up with her. He told me and...then, Indy got mad at me because I didn't tell her that I knew." SHRUG. It was pretty complicated, yes. By the time Erin began the whole family talk, Beezus had already took a shrunken head into her hands. It emitted some creepy muffled sounds that made her wince. Ugh, disgusting face but at the same time, interesting. Albeit her eyes pierced the eyes of the head she was holding with both intensity and curiosity, she was still listening attentively to what her best friend was saying. Then came that phrase, I am adopted. O____________________O She.Was. Astounded. And she was certain it showed on her face. Her mouth hang open in disbelief and absently, she let go of the shrunken head on her hand, allowing it to fall on the floor with a loud thud which seemed to alleviate the shock. It started to babble syllables she couldn't understand so she picked it up with her mind still obscured by what her best friend has just revealed. She stared at her for a moment, trying to make out if she was lying or not. She wasn't. "Really? Y-you're not kidding?" Right now, that was all she could muster to blurt out. |
OMG, I love you! <3 hehe Quote:
Before se knew it, Beezus was pulling Erin towards the lane. They were excited about this thing. And on to the talk about Elise. "I feel sorry for her too. And I feel sorry for her that she needed to go neck to neck with my Mum the moment we step foot in our house." Well, the new house of course. Truthfully, it was all Erin's mistake. She could inform her parents about a new addition to her summer but she didn't. Not that she purposely did it, he mind's just a little blown up that time. "At the end of the day, she had a place to stay." Then came the sensitive part of the conversation about her misunderstanding with Indy. These things. These things weren't a problem last time she talk to Beezus. Boys. Boys are eewy before, but now boys are fun. Relationships cannot be ignored anymore. Relationships between boys and girls is a norm to teenage students like them. Guess, they both aren't an exception? And then Erin was dumbstruck by her next statement. Indy and her boyfriend broke up? The part that Erin got herself more then surprised was the fact that Beezus was relaying every bit of the details to her. She doesn't even know any of the two. "So, why didn't you told her beforehand?" She's got an owl, right? She could write Indy or meet up with her somewhere. But maybe, Beezus has some good explanations. Probably, Indy just went a little too exaggerated on her reactions towards Beezus message? "And why would her boyfriend tell you that he wanted to break up with your bestfriend when she's your bestfriend?" It's complicated. And are they that close? The boyfriend and Beezus? Seeing Beezus getting one shrunken head from the narrow metal tray, Erin did so. She would go next after her bestfriend. But when Erin finally blurted out what really happened to her life, the climax of course, Beezus was super shocked to even drop the shrunken head in her hand, ready to bowl. of course, being a shrunken head itself, he/she/it went on talk rapidly like the sound of people talking quickly and in a way that is difficult or impossible to understand. Instead of giving her focus to the creature, she averted her attention to Beezus and waited for her to open her mouth and speak up. Her lips moved after a few seconds of looking at them, "I'm not kidding, Bee," she pouted. The memories of that time seemed to linger on her mind once more. And it wasn't too good of a memory. |
Vickers and the STRAYS :P Elijah still couldn't quite believe that Vickers had ordered not just one, but TWO rounds, with OAKEY of all bloomin' people! "I'd rather be stuck with you in my team any day than having to work with that little twerp," he muttered to the 'Claw. Reaching into his pockets he pulled out six galleons and put them in Vickers' pockets. "That's for the games," although Elijah was half tempted to continue to let Vee's wallet suffer after his BROtrayal, the money really was tuppence to him and his family. So much so that he didn't mind too much that he had technically paid for the Hufflepuff dweeb, also. Elijah quickly put on his shoes and tied them, ready to get his GAME on. He was determined to beat the other team, but when he looked over at Vickers it seemed that his battle might quickly be changing into a two against one kinda scenario. "You do know the shoes won't bite you Vee," Elijah comforted, an eyebrow raised at how the 'Claw was staring at his shoes as if they were covered in acid or something. |
the boys!! Emmaleigh had stood biting her lip for a moment, unsure of what to do. First her floor buddy declared that she be part of his team. Then the other guy went ahead and paid for her game. Well, that decided it, she couldn’t back out now. The redhead quickly grabbed a pair of the bowling shoes, hoping they would fit. The man didn’t even ask for their sizes. There wasn’t a thing as magical bowling shoes was there? She followed along to their lane, and sat down. After shoving her bag under her seat, she looked around at her companions. “Um, thanks for inviting me to join you.” She said, looking to the two who had been actually gotten her to join. Then, addressing, them all she introduced herself. “Oh, and I’m Emmaleigh.” She said giving a small smile. Then, taking off her fancy flats her mother had insisted on her wearing, the girl realized she wasn’t wearing socks. “Crap!” she let out as she grabbed her bag and dug through it. There, stuffed inside the extra pair of shoes she had brought, was a pair of socks. Relieved, she then put the socks and bowling shoes on. Now she was ready to bowl. |
Quote:
"It even becomes satisfying when the particularly rude ones crash with the pins." He didn't get up just yet, waiting a moment to see if she really did want to go first. "Just don't let one bit you." |
Team Monkeyface/Vickers and my Teamie <- Oakey told me to He would need to pay Vickers back for the game later as Oakey hadn't intended to play to begin with, he kind of just walked into the older Ravenclaw. Could he even play? His broken left arm had about a few more days before the sling and cast could be removed. It was healing faster thanks to the help of Mr.Toomb's expertise in potion making. He flexed his good arm some before plopping down on the seat beside his teammate. "Can I call you Em for short?" Oakey asked as he swapped his shoes around for the bowling shoes. He tied them on extra tight because he didn't want Monkey Face to burn these too. He stood up and faced his adversaries, "One of you guys can go first." That's right Oakey be the better man, show one up on the Maniac. |
Quote:
Merlin. She laughed quietly at herself and headed back to pick up one of the heads. It had long hair that covered the little squidgy face, and Cade grabbed the thing by its hair and flung it at the pins with very little attempts at aiming. She would have hit exactly zero if they hadn't shifted at the last minute into the way of the flying head. Flying? Weren't they supposed to roll? |
Quote:
Beezus couldn't help but hug Erin again. She was so nice, gone was that brat who used to bully and bicker with other people. Clearly, she missed the part where her best friend had mentioned her Mum. "Elise is so lucky to have you. And so am I." VERY TRUE. Silently, she hoped Elise's family problems would be resolved soon. With a head on her hand, Beezus positioned herself on the lane before answering Erin's next questions. Good thing she was wearing sneakers, bending the ankles for a better aim wasn't a problem. She eyed the pins on the far side of the lane for a while before releasing the head and BLAM! it went, moaning curses all the way through, and plowing down 4 pins. Not bad. Why didn't she tell Indy beforehand? PFFT. She moved to give way to Erin, returning to the part she was standing before in front of the metal head holder. "Why didn't I tell her?" The brunette shook her head. "I didn't want her to get hurt Erin. I mean, was I supposed to say something like, 'hey Indy! Your boyfriend wants to break up with you, just thought you would want to know', huh? Should I have said something like that?" This was starting to darken her mood. She just didn't think it would help the situation if she actually did it. But in the end, she was the one who appeared bad. Then, there came the trickier cut. "Uhh..he...he....just told me...because we're also friends..and..." SIGH. "...Oh, I don't know, it's..it's complicated." Surely, Erin won't notice the stuttering right? As their conversation went on, Beezus decided to get another Shrunken head. It had the most disgusting face she had ever laid eyes on. A very large forehead, large eyes that almost popped out of their sockets with streaks of blood in it, a nose that looked like its missing half of its whole, and a mouth sewn together by a gooey colored thread. "Eww." she muttered with severity and took the effort to return her attention to her best friend. "So...you're with your real biological family now? How did you know you were adopted anyway? How did they find you? Did your Dad..errr foster dad objected? How certain are you that they're your true family? " Questions surged in one after the other. She was concerned about Erin. If adjusting to Hogwarts during their first year was difficult enough, how else would be to learn you have a new family with new family members that you didn't even had knowledge of? |
Quote:
He watched her pick up the first head and, well. "That wasn't too bad for a first shot." And even if the pins hadn't moved in the way of her flying head, it still wouldn't have been too bad for someone worried about hurting the heads. "You'll hit more if you take a bit more time to aim." It would probably be easier to do the second bowl now that she had held a head and didn't harm it. Not really. They cussed like that all the time on collisions. He tapped the toe of his shoe on the table lightly and watched for her second try. |
Quote:
"A-ha" she said as her hands found the objects she was looking for. Pulling out her dragon Hide gloves she asked. "It's not cheating to use these is it?" Because she had defiantly used them the only other time she had been shrunken head bowling. |
From the counter, Cass - with Heather being dragged from behind - bounded over to Lane 4 and looked around, watching the other players on the other lanes bowling with something that looked liked a shrunken head. Oh. So that's where the name came from... "Not sure if I'm going to feel excited or slightly grossed out now." She told Heather as she glanced t her before taking a seat at a nearby plastic bench to put on her bowling shoes. "You might want to do the same." The 17-year-old suggested with a grin before tapping the spot next to her after she undid the shoelaces on her own sneakers. |
Quote:
"Hm, is it just me or do the balls resemble shrunken heads?" she asked nonchalantly as she slipped on the bowling shoes. "I'm not quite sure how to respond to it... i mean i'd like to say it's cool, but then i'm not sure..." she sighed and leaned back for a moment. "Hey Cass, do you think they're real shrunken heads?" |
Quote:
And then before Beezus roll the shrunken head on her hands, Erin got a hug from her. She 's so sweet. She eyed the Ravenclaw do her thing with the head and baaaaam! Four pins hit. "Great job, Castell!" she side commented. And it's her turn now. Lowering her body a bit, slightly leaning on her right side, she held the shrunken head with difficulty. It's just too hard to keep it steady with all the talking coming from it. Doing her math, with all the angles of the path the head could possibly follow, she decided to roll it slightly from the right side. Erin watched the head hitting six pins, well only because others disappeared. "That was so unfair!" Erin cried, she could have hit all the pins. Bummer! After a slightly bad mood she felt with the pins disappearing, she averted her attention to Beezus who were now explaining her side about not telling Indy what she knew beforehand. Though, Erin on the other hand would most likely tell Beezus everything - since their bestfriends - even if it meant hurting her, she couldn't help the fact that Beezus had some good point in there. "Okay, I just hope you two could figure things out and be besties again." Then came the thing about the boyfriend telling the bestfriend about it. Complicated? What did she meant by complicated? She was a Ravenclaw, she couldn't miss the important words, of course but instead of dwelling with those kinds of things, she didn't want herself indulging too much into some things Beezus doesn't want to share yet. In time, she may just blurt it out. Moving on to Erin's real family situation, came Beezus inquiring side. She asked everything she could ask. "Woah! Easy Bee," she uttered to her bestfriend. She tried to keep steady, eyed the lane first but decided to keep it towards Beezus. "Well, you know that my Dad isn't too fond of me when Mum died. And then somewhere in between those days, on the summer before second year, Tina loathes me so much. I used to tell you we're so close right?" And she missed that little sister of her. " And then we had the biggest arguments ever, that I didn't want to tell anyone, even you... How about we just talk about these some other time? Since, I just wanted to be happy right now, okay?" Because if she told anyone, it would mean everything was true. And Erin didn't want it to be true. She didn't want to feel guilt. She didn't want to be happy because she felt so guilty. She smiled towards her bestfriend. |
oh meep sorry for the delay guys >_< SPOILER!!: Elijah, Oakey, Emmaleigh Vickers gave a silent chuckle “You have got to tell me about that boot story one of these days…” he murmured back to Elijah as he set his bowling shoes down on the floor. Then he felt something drop in his pockets and turned sharply, Elijah saying something for the game. Digging his hand into his pocket he fished out the extra galleons. Whoah that’s way more than the Curly Puff’s share of a galleon plus change “Snacks are on me then.” he murmured in gratitude to Elijah as he sat down and started scourgifying the insides and outsides of his bowling shoes. Merlin knows he’s trying not to shudder at the mere thought of having to wear these… Turning his head as the red-head spoke, he nodded at her and offered a small smile “Nice to meet you Emmaleigh.” So at least they got a name now What they go first? Vickers shifted his gaze to Elijah. He was kinda hoping the other team would go first, but then they were now on the spot. “Okay.” Vickers nodded, not wanting to appear like the bowling intimidated him Hovering his hand over the shrunken heads his face contorted unconsciously. They probably need gloves for this too. But the thought of going back to the shopkeep to ask for gloves-- that were as publicly used as the shoes he’d bet-- didn’t really appeal to him. So without looking he grabbed a shrunken head and nearly dropped it in revulsion of feeling its tangled wiry hair and leathery skin in his grasp. He swung his arm back, swooped it forward and let the head go…. ….and the head went flying-- literally. Completely miscalculating its weight, the shrunken head soared halfway down the lane, bounced off the wooden floor, flew over the remaining gap before knocking half the pins down. Oops? |
SPOILER!!: Em and Vickers His name? Oh right, he forgot to give his name to his teammate! HOW VERY RUDE OAKEY! "Sorry, you can call me Oakey." he told the older girl. "M-my arm?" He asked pointing towards his broken left arm in it's cast, he was hesitant in telling them that he was chased all summer long by a gang of Vampires and that this was the outcome of of one of the encounters he had with them, before escaping. Then he looked over towards Oakey's eyes went wide as he watched Vickers' attempt at bowling. The Ravenclaw just kind of threw it towards the pins. "Good throw Vickers." Oakey complemented his opponent, Then Em asked if they could use gloves. "I really don't know?" Oakey said truthfully, as he really wasn't sure if gloves had any kind of effect on bowling with heads. He decided that he'd go next, normally he would let girls go first, but Em seemed preoccupied with her gloves. So while he waited for Vickers to continue Oakey stood up and picked up one of the Heads. "Put me down you bloody fool!" Oakey sighed as he did as the head instructed, he grabbed the head that was lying beside the rude one. "Don't even think about it!" The next head said. Oakey placed this one down too, couldn't he just pick one up that had it's mouth sewn shut or something? "Don't use me! Use Cranie!" Oakey put this one down. "Oi! JERK, I'm Not Cranie!" Not gonna use this one either. "Cranie is in Lane Five Doofus!" "What's Cranie doin over there?" "Being bowled you idiot!" Oakey let off the biggest annoyed sigh as he just stood behind Vickers waiting for his turn. |
SPOILER!!: Oakey being given the lip XD Vickers stood with his back to his friends blinking and staring at what just happened. Obviously that wasnt bowling... so it wasnt supposed to count right? But the pins hasnt reloaded and the scoreboard actually took the pins he knocked off. Nervously he walked back towards the group "I'll make sure this time the heads stay on the floor." And some heads were giving lip at Oakey. His hand also hovered over the heads as it whined at him, but wanting nothing more than to finish his turn .... its slammed against the pins but left one standing-- the one by the far corner. Vickers pressed his lips together as he glared at the last pin annoyingly. How tempting was it to flick his wand and send a knock back jink on that? He spun on his heels and slumped against the seat. Overachiever not pleased obviously "Next?" |
