Via stepped inside the store she had bee missing so much. It's final exams week and she's out here. She really need some chocolate treat for herself to relieve all the stresses and as she glanced around the area, and saw Toshi... she smiled at him and greeted them. "hello Toshi." She turned to the girl who was with him, "Hello."

Just as Whit was going to respond to Lima she heard a guy walk up behind them and start speaking. "See! I told you Lima!" she exclaimed and stuck her tongue out at her. Then turning to the boy she said, "Thank you so much for helping me prove that she is not ugly. She's very far from it."

Turning back to Lima she continued,"Aaaand, I am not beautiful. I'm like.....just there. I'm the one who is plain. Brown curly hair,brown eyes....short." She added hesitantly. If only she were taller. But Whit really didn't find herself beautiful or pretty,she really was just plain; then again she really didn't think she was ugly. "Killer heels?" Her eyes were wide once again. "Umm.....does that mean they'll hurt you? Don't do it Lima!!!" she yelled only partially joking.

She smiled weakly as the stranger told her that she was gorgeous. "Thank you, but I still disagree," she told him. "You are very kind, though." She knew that Whit wouldn't like that.

"I don't get you people! Like Nico in his letter saying that I would have tempted him if he wasn't with Kayla right now." Oops, she shouldn't have let that slip.

She needed to cover that up. Fast. "Er, you look pretty. And my heels aren't going to kill me. Or at least I hope not." She laughed weakly.

Had Whit really heard what she thought she heard? Nico sent Lima a letter and said....that? "I'm sorry?" she asked,letting it sink in. Whit's letter didn't say anything like that. "Yay yooou?" she said forcing a smile. 'It's just Nico,nothing big. You have CHASE.' Nico was nothing more than a friend to her. 'Obviously.'

Noticing Lima cover it up she replied with, "Sure? And let's hope they don't. Either way you could be a model." 'If Nico could have you he would so why wouldn't a modeling agency?' Whitney was not jealous...or so she kept telling herself.

She frowned at the weird look on Whit's face. "Yeah, like Maddox can't find out though. Obviously. 'cause, yeah..." She cleared her throat uncomfortably. "Though really, I have to say that Nico is pretty tempting too." She blushed. She didn't like him, but he was very appealing.

"Well, I can't be a model. But Mads could be." She snorted. She was sorta being serious though. He was made to be a model.

She could tell Lima was uncomfortable and she wasn't trying to be but....'But nothing. It's just Nico.' Putting on a smile she said, "Well yeah,what with them being so close and what not. And...I hadn't noticed." 'Yeah right!' Obviously she did notice but Lima didn't have to know whether or not she found Nico appealing or attractive.

"I say you both can! Imagine if you both ended up needing to model together...can you say awkward?" Or at least she thought it would've ended up being weird. Who knew.

"Yeah, they are best friends," she said biting her lip slightly. Yeah, she knew well that Mads would not like it. But she didn't really care that much anymore. She just would rather him not get mad at Nico. "Oh, I'm sure you noticed, Whit," she added teasingly.

"That will happen when hell freezes over. And he would refuse to work with me anyway." She shrugged.

"Then yeah. If I were you I wouldn't tell Maddox anything. For both yours and Nico's sake." Whit wouldn't be happy if she found out that man was mad at Lima, let alone Lima and Nico,not that she had any say in it. "Noticed that Nico is....not not good looking? Maybe but that's it. He's not like..." But she couldn't finish that sentence because he was attractive and she knew it.

"How do you know it hasn't Lima?" she asked cocking an eyebrow. "What if it has frozen over?" Then she started to wonder, what would happen if it froze? 'Weird.' "He can't refuse to work with someone if they've already booked them and I'm sure he wouldn't mind,Lima."

She nodded. She would rather avoid his anger all she could. It was bad enough now knowing that just being in her presence caused him a lot of pain. "Yes, I wont let Mads find out. And Nico is good looking. Admit it." She smirked.

"It hasn't." she said laughing. Though she was wondering why Whit suddenly looked thoughtful. "And he would do it but not like it. And I wouldn't either." Not that it ever would happen..

"yah know..why you girls was self pitying..you're beautiful but pretending to be ugly.."Cedric said shaking his head

Why was Lima doing this to her? She would not say Nico was good looking because...well just because she wouldn't. Whit was stubborn,didn't she know that? "I'm sorry....what?" she asked,simply pretending to be lost...this time. "Who are you talking about?"

Whit still wanted to know just how Lima could know such a thing. [b]"But....you...and....you're up here and like....that's down there"[b] she said,pointing to the ground. It made no sense. Unless....there was some big thing that was supposed to happen if hell did freeze over. "You wouldn't?" Whit didn't mean to,but she sounded a little shocked. After everything that had happened,Lima was saying she wouldn't want to be around him and model with him. 'Wow.'
Then,just as Whit was going to ask him something,the boy started talking. Whit listened and suddenly started laughing. "I think he's trying to tell us something Lima."She gently nudged Lima with her elbow. Not too sure what to say she just started talking. "You are....very kind...but really...erm.....I'm not pretending to be ugly. Not to sound conceited but I don't think I'm ugly,just not beautiful,gorgeous model material." Even though Chase had complimented her before she just...didn't believe that. "And Lima....well....." Looking over at Lima she didn't know if she wanted to say it. "She doesn't pretend either. She just...erm....listens to herself rather than others?" Did that make any sense at all?

"Riiiiiight, I know my answer now. You can't fool me, Whit." She had a wide grin on her face. "I won't tell Chase though." BWAHAHA! Not that she would probably even see him around anywhere to tell him. "So, you secretly think Mads is hot too then, right?" She wiggled her brows.

She then snorted. "Hell hasn't frozen over. Not until pigs fly. And I don't see any flying pigs, do you?" Though she couldn't help but to cast a glance out the shop window to make sure that she was right. Nope, no flying pigs. Seeing the confusion on Whit's face, she then added, "Nope. It's way too awkward. I wouldn't complain to see his muscles, but he would be a pain in the butt." Lima could be so so shallow at times. hehe

Then she turned to that Cedric guy again. "Whit's delusional, I'm not." And then as if to prove her point, the girl started talking nonsense. "See?! I was right! She's out if it." She pointed her finger at the girl and said, "you are adorable! As cute as a button! And you owe me candy 'cause I won the bet about Mads!" She grinned.

'Oh great.' By pretending not to find him attractive,Lima was able to tell that she did,in fact,find him very good looking. "I don't know what you are talking about,sorry." she said sticking her tongue out at Lima. Then she mentioned Chase. Trying to control herself from freaking out she said, "Tell Chase what? That I only find him attractive? You can go ahead and tell him that,I don't mind,really." Now she had a huge smirk on her face. Lima was just crazy.

"Well...." she said and laughed. Couldn't they make pigs fly? There had to be some type of spell or something. "If you can find me a pig I bet I could prove you wrong." Actually,she probably wouldn't be able to perform the spell at all. Then Whit heard Lima's next comment and started laughing. "I'm sure you wouldn't mind that. Fine,instead of modeling with him you should just go watch him at the photo shoot." Now that sounded like....a good idea. Either that or it was a bad idea and she would seem like some type of stalker.

Suddenly Lima started calling her delusional! "I'm delusional?" 'Wooow' "I am very far from that thank you very much. I'm just...different." That was one pretty big understatement. Either way,she was not the who was out of it. "You're the one out of it....thinking your crazy and what not." she mumbled,wondering if Lima heard her. And now she was talking about candy and bets. "I didn't actually bet. I knew he'd think I was adorable I mean...have you seen me? Who doesn't find me adorable and cute?" she asked with a wink.

"HAHA! I knew it! Whit and Nico sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G!!" She made kissing faces as she sang as well as did a little dance. Yes, she was acting like a child, but she was getting a sugar rush from just being in a candy store. "You think Mads is hot too. Admit it." Everyone that was a female thought he was sexy. And when they were dating it used to make her feel good about herself that he was with her when he had all the much prettier girls after him. 'cause she had known that she was the one he loved, not them.

"Nuh-uh! You can't make them fly, Whit! You could make them float maybe, but not fly." She didn't bother to mention that Whit was only a 2nd Year and thus not strong enough magically to do it even if it was possible. "And I am not a crazy stalker! I am not going to be lurking in the shadows watching him." Geeze, that would be sad.

"Nope, you are delusional. And different. You are both." then she tried to get out of the bet. "Not so fast, Missy. You said he wouldn't find you adorable and I bet you that he would. You accepted the bet. Now you owe me!" BWAHAHA

Whitney could not believe what Lima was doing. "Oh my gosh! Lower you voice woman!" And she was the delusional one? 'Umm no.' "Look okay,Nico is attractive,yes and Mads is too but....one better than the other. And that is it. Nothing more." She didn't need everyone in Hogsmeade knowing who she found hot. Not able to help herself she stuck her tongue out at Lima for a long time because there was nothing else she could do.

"Can't you like....do a spell to give them wings or something?" she asked curiously. Being able to add wings to anything sounded like fun and if she found out she couldn't she'd be like a little kid who just found out Santa Claus was fake. Whit tilted her head back and laughed at Lima's next comment. "No comment" she replied,with a fake cough.

Glaring at Lima she said, "I am not. I'm am very...erm....lusional?" Okay so that didn't make her sound very smart but what was the opposite of delusional? "You're making me sound like I'm off my rocker!" She wasn't because she was never on her rocker. Sighing,Whit walked away from Lima,and around the store for some type of candy,but didn't know what Lima would want. Walking back she said, "Okay fiiiiiine. Even though I already knew he'd find me adorable...what would you like?"

She smirked as Whit told her to lower her voice. Then she opened her eyes wide in shock. "You clearly are insane. Maddox is way better looking than Nico. Nico is handsome, yes, but Mads is gorgeous." She shook her head. "I think you have a crush on him."

She then shrugged. "I don't think so..." She didn't really want to try though. What if the poor pig got stubby wings or something? It would be teased by the other pigs. "I am not going to make an outcast pig, thank you vara much!" She folded her arms over her chest. "And I'm not a stalker! So don't you 'No comment' me, Missy!" She stuck her tongue out.

"Lusional? That's the kind of thing only a delusional person would say. You proved my point." She smirked. It was always fun to win this kind of thing. Then she jumped up excitedly. "YAY! Candy! And you so did not!" Yeah, right!

Kayla had been standing inside the candy shop for a little while and a few feet behind Whitney and Lima and she couldn't help but smirk at their topic of conversation. Nicholai was gone but obviously not forgotten by the females of Hogwarts and she was not at all surprised.

She made a mental note to add these two to the list of Nicholai Toussaint admirers. Last year she would have been seething and totally insecure if she had of heard this conversation but not anymore.

Making sure to keep a straight face, Kayla took a couple of steps towards the two girls. "Ahem...sorry to interrupt but I just need to get some fudge and you're kind of blocking the way."

Did Lima really just yell that? "I do not have a crush on Nico thank you very much!" she yelled back,and stuck her tongue out at her. "Nico is Nico and I could not have a crush on him, so HA!" Lima was an evil person and Whit felt like dying. "I am not going to discuss who is gorgeous or handsome or.....anything." The wrong person might walk through the door and hear them. 'I do not have a crush on Nico...he's a friend....who is gone.' "Hmmph"


Whit couldn't help but laugh at Lima. "Fine then! We'll make several pigs fly....and then....erm....all of the other pigs will simply be jealous." Yeah. That worked. Why wouldn't the other pigs want to fly? "You just have to make sure you choose the right pigs." Now she really really wanted to make a pig fly. It sounded like so much fun. "C'mon Lima,pleeeeaaase! Help me find a piiiiig" Now her arms were flailing. 'Five year old much?' Realizing what she was doing,Whit quickly stopped and looked down at her feet.

Until she heard Lima's voice again. Snapping her head back up she said, "Woman! I am not delusional...ask my mother." Then again...her mother would probably say she was. "Wait! No. Don't ask my mother...ask....Ask Chase!" Yeah. He wouldn't say she was delusional...would he? "Uuuuuh huuuuuh!!!" Whit picked up the closest candy she could find and held it up to Lima's face. "This one?" Not that she knew what it was.
Then she heard a familiar voice coming from behind them. Slowly turning around she saw none other than Kayla. 'Oh my gosh,oh my gosh,oh my gosh!' Just how much of that had she heard? Because Whit didn't have a crush on Nico. Nope. Kayla could have him. 'I don't want him.' Even if he was Nico. "Hey Kayla! Sorry about that....just....y'know,it's Lima." she said with a wink,trying very hard to keep her cool. Lima liked all kinds of candy,did she not? So surely she'd take ages picking one out..even though they hadn't exactly been picking out a candy at that moment. "I'll move now." she added shyly,taking a step to the side to let Kayla pass.

"You so dooo!" she yelled back as loudly while making kissy faces again. "Whit is going to marry Nico and have Nico babies!" She really needed to cut down on the sugar or something, but man was she having fun now.

"Hey! I will not have you making more than one pig an outcast! It is cruel! And what if you give them all stubby wings? Huh? Huh? Exactly!" She raised her nose in the air. "I will not be a part of this madness."

"Yeah, like Chase will admit the truth. Suuuure, buddy." She rolled her eyes. Though actually that would be a pretty funny conversation. Hello, Chase. Do you think your girlfriend is delusional? BWAHAHA!

And then Kayla arrived and mentioned her. "Excuse me, Missy. Why are you bringing me into this? Hmmm?" She gave her a look of fake betrayal.

She then turned to Kayla and said, "Sorry," before stepping out of her way, smiling. "So uh, you talked to Nico recently?" she added clearing her throat. She so knew that the girl had overheard what they had been talking about.

Whit had to think of something to get her back. "Yeah well....ermm..." 'Oh jeez...think!' And that was when the most obvious thing ever hit her. A small smirk grew across her lips as she said, "Yeah well you're in love with Maddox!" Ha! That was sure to hit her where it hurts. 'Oh wait.' What if it did hurt her? Whit didn't want to make Lima upset. 'My bad!'

"That's just silly Lima!" Really. Making a pig an outcast? There was no way that would happen. All pigs accepted each other for who they were....right? "Are you implying that I'm not a good enough witch to give them....unstubby wings?" she asked trying hard not to laugh. She wasn't that great of a witch though,that was true.

She couldn't help but gasp at Lima's next comment. "Excuuuuse me? Chase wouldn't need to lie thank you very much." Not that he could lie. Whit was always able to tell if he was lying. Now she was silently laughing to herself. "Miss Delusional" she mumbled to herself. It was a perfect new nickname for Lima.

"Because you are the one who still needs to pick out your candy" And unsurprisingly enough,Lima still hadn't picked one out. She too busy asking Kayla about Nico. 'Grrr.' Growling in her head was a lot less odd then growling out loud. Or so she thought.

Her mouth dropped open. She couldn't believe Whit said that. Especially in front of Kayla. She stiffened her jaw in order to keep herself from crying. "I think that it's time that I go back to the castle to get some studying done," she said cooly. She turned away from Whit and started to walk away.

'Oh no.' Whit had really done it this time. She didn't think it'd be that big of a deal. She wasn't insulting Mads or anything just....'Lima wouldn't stop with the Nico stuff and...' Whit felt horrible now. And then she saw Lima walking away. "Don't leave! I'm so so so sorry!!!!" she grabbed an armful of candy and ran over to Lima,dropping some. "I didn't mean to!!! Here,take the candy,it'll make you happy!" she said trying to give Lima some of it while attempting a smile.

She was almost at the door when Whit ran up to her apologizing and forcing candy on her. But she was still upset. She should have known how sensitive she was about Mads and teasing her about everything was going too far. Whit knew almost as much as Penny. She knew how much hurt she had gone through. "I dunno if I want any candy," she replied cooly, staring at it indifferently.

Whitney felt like crying now. She didn't want Lima mad at her,she hated it. "I really am sorry! I didn't do it on purpose." Okay so she said it on purpose but she really didn't mean to hurt her. Not caring about the mess,she dropped the candy on the floor,planning to clean it up afterwards,and gave the biggest and squishiest hug she'd ever given her. "Pleeeeeaaaaaase forgive meeeee!!!!!"

She just glared at Whit. Her apology meant nothing to her at the moment. She was mad. Mad and hurt. "Why did you have to say that in front of Kayla? She's one of his best friends." She was talking coldly. She wasn't moved by candy or anything. Then Whit grabbed her in a squishy hug. She was startled. Sighing, she said, "I forgive you. Just never do that again."
