The long day is over (open)

[amandalarsen]

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

And the grounds sounded so different in the day time, contrasted to the night time. She spent the previous night with her friend, Nathaniel, down in the enchanted gardens. However, today, as she decided to come down to the lake after classes, she sat against the trunk of a tree, parts of the brown bark jabbing into her spine.

She believed in yesterday. More likely lastnight. And she believed that it was a good night she spent with Nathaniel, safe within arms reach. Amanda hadn't felt the greatest for the past few weeks, feeling slightly unnoticed, and perhaps socially inept. She wasn't the same. She wasn't like herself last term.

Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday...

The night left traces of sleep under her sapphire eyes, gazing at the lake, admiring the shimmering waters that lapped against the banks. Her night was a wonderful night, and her day turned out just as beautiful. She sat alone, no books, and nothing else infront of her. Just a wand in her Hufflepuff robes, and her shoes off to the side.

Bare feet, toes, wiggled in her white cotton socks on the soft green turf. Tickled by the prickly grass which stained the bottom of her socks. Oh well, there's a simple way of removing stains these days. She mused as she took them off, placing the socks inside her shoes. And her feet were free, bare, and oddly pale like her skin. But she was like porcelain, purely and pearly white.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away

But she didn't feel all too great, sitting there, alone and bored. Her eyes drifted off in a distance. The mountains appeared shadowy. The evening was drawing in, but she wanted to stay, stay for the sunset and for reasons unknown. Everyone was inside, shuffling around, finishing up homework and such. However, she was here, alone, and enjoying the presence of herself and no one else.

Though I hope that doesn't last long.

Oh, I believe in yesterday

She thought about yesterday. For it wasn't like today, and her mind enjoyed memories of the stars and the silvery sliver of the moon in the sky. Her best friend beside her and fingers intertwined. Fingers touching softly, gracefully, and then they were gone. Her eyes glanced at her hand, as if infected, and finally laid it to rest on the green grass.

Her head leaned back on the bark, light and long blonde tendrils falling and framing her face. Sapphire eyes glanced up at the lush green foliage. At least she could wish, wish that this evening would turn out the best. And wish that company, anyone and none in particular, would join her. And this time, she didn't need a place to hide away.

No, I need no place to hide away

[Joe Moon(gone)]

It was almost night time so he might as well make the day end with a visit the lake. Now that he was Head Boy, Joe has to make sure that everyone is at their common rooms when it's time. Well... something with Jodi. Where was she anyways. Oh well didn't matter right now. Better get to the lake before it's to late. He thought for a minute. Hey that rhymes.

Yesterday Joe went to the past with Roxy and Landon. It was the best experience that he had in his life. Joe will miss those times. It's fun looking at yourself then and now and then you realized how much you grew, and what change. It was cool and he likes to says 'cool' a lot now. Random is always cool.

Yesterday....

Today...

Tomorrow...

Time has it's own way of doing stuff. There are Past Present and Future. Some people will say Yesterday, Today (or now), and Tomarrow. Anything could happen and you just have to deal with that no matter what happens in your life, something will happen. Yesterday the Ravenclaw boy went to the past. Today he went to the lake which is where he is now. Last but not least tomorrow you don't know what is going to happen until it's tomorrow which will be today no one can live in tomorrow.

Joe continued walking toward the lake where there was a tree in front of him. He turned left and then continued toward the lake again and stop where the Head Boy was standing on the banks of the lake. The water was going back and forth, back and forth. It is always going to do that unless it gets frozen in the winter time.

Winter is always a great season. You could go ice skating, snowboarding. That is was Joe does when it's snowing and has enough snow to go snowboarding which is the whole point of it. Skiing but he doesn't like doing that. Snowball fights is the best thing you could do in the winter anyone will enjoy it.

He was still standing on the banks of the lake. After a while Joe sat down and look at the sunset. There was nothing to do anyways. Also still watching the waves of the lake going back and forth, back and forth.


Will there be a tomorrow?

[amandalarsen]

The sun slowly descended from the sky and halfway behind the mountains. Her pale pink lips lifted into a small smile that meant nothing, not even to her. Why was she being so pessimistic when the day turned out fine already? Why doubt her happiness now? Amanda had no answer for this since she was too caught up in the moment. Sunset. It was a beautiful sight to watch.

Evening dawned and the night began to blanket the sky. Soft whisps of the wind blew in her hair, causing a slight shiver that chattered her teeth. It was time to move on. Time to get on with her life and forget about yesterday and what happened last term. She felt used and unappreciated all because she was just too stupid to fall into that web-like trap of lies.

You can't kick me down I'm already on the ground
No you can't, but you couldn't catch me anyhow
Blue skies, but the sun isn't coming out, no
Today is like I'm under a heavy cloud

He never wanted me anyway. Akito was right afterall. As harsh as he or she may have been, Akito was right that no one could ever like someone as myself. A soft sigh pass through her parted lips as her eyes lingered over the rippling waters. She reached for her socks, slipping them back on her bare feet before putting on her shoes and tieing her laces up.

Amanda hoisted herself up from the ground, sweeping away the dusts of bark off her robes and traces of dirt. For a moment she thought she had seen someone pass by, but she ignored them and began walking up the hill to the castle. But she stopped in the middle of her slow strides, turning back around to notice that he stopped by the banks of the lake.

And he stood alone for a moment before taking a seat on the ground, making Amanda wonder who he is and his reasons for being out alone. Maybe she'd regret going back, but it wasn't near curfew yet, so she headed toward his direction, hoping he didn't mind the company she'd give him. That is if she would be so welcoming to him. That is if, he'd accept her.

I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and run away, yeah
I just wanna fall and lose myself

The nearness of him brought back memories. Looking upon a figure that sat alone in the shadows. She felt that she should turn away and run, but instead she approached him shyly until she was a few feet from him. It was then she realized that familiar person, and she finally picked herself up from this dreadful feeling. She knew him and that is all that mattered. "Hello Joe."

Run away, run away

[Joe Moon(gone)]

The sun was going to set in a couple of minutes. He like the colors that the sun brings the effects where the mountain that just stay there. O.K. we have sunsets here but not at London while were on vaction? He sighed.

Joe's shoes were undone. Both of them were loose. He tied them together on each shoe. Right next to his left shoe was a flat rock. The Head Boy picked it up and threw it at the water and it made vibrations. Each circle that came around where the the rock hit the water. It didn't skip though but he didn't even try to make it skip.

There were footsteps behind him. He couldn't tell until Joe heard a familiar voise came in. It was Amanda Larsen. She was a good friend. It would be her fifth year now because of the new term thing that the Headmistress did. It wouldn't be a good thing for him to gratuate early even though that some people did. "Hey Amanda how are you?" Joe asked.[/size]

((OOC: Short post sorry).

[amandalarsen]

Finally, someone out of the crowd that Amanda could talk to. Even if the night was drawing to a start, she had hoped he wouldn't penalize her for being out near curfew. She rocked on the balls of her heels as she looked over his shoulder. The rippling waters lapped against the bank, bringing a peaceful feeling in Amanda that she hadn't felt for awhile.

Her soft sapphire orbs looked to Joe and she smiled when he finally spoke to her. Amanda moved a few steps to the side, then forward, and took a seat beside the Ravenclaw. Her view of the lake was typical anywhere you sat by the banks. "Oh, I've been pretty good." Quick, true, and concise. Amanda was good as a matter-of-factly.

"Just been thinking a lot. The typical teenage drama." Her shoulders shrug carelessly. Everyone goes through it, even the most determined and mindful people. But maybe there was more to that underlayer of 'pretty' good. Something that was itching to get out of her. Regret? Sadness? Despise? Alone. Practically indescribable. "How've you been?"

((OOC: Sorry for the late post. And it's short. -.- My mind is shot.))

[Joe Moon(gone)]

Amanda was a sweet girl. Nice. And now the Hufflepuff Quidditch Caption which was cool. "I heard that your the new Quidditch Caption for Hufflypuff team, how does that feel?" Joe asked her. One of his friends becoming caption even though it's the second one become caption.

He han't seen Tristam in a long time which Joe thinks that he was getting away from him. Tristam was cool and not one of the first people to be expected to become Head Boy which was what Joe became. Tristam was suppose to become Head Boy but there wasn't much seventh year boys to get the job.

"I have been doing fine, thank you Amanda," Joe replied. It has been a while that he saw her. It was annoying to not to see his friends in a long time besides during classes which sucks. Now it was finally a time for friends to talk again. "So what happen during you classes?" A random question came to him. It was random but he had nothing else to say.[/size]

[amandalarsen]

Eventually her newest title would be revealed in their conversation. Her lips curled up in a pleasing smile. "It feels wonderful actually. I have a lot planned for the team. Hopefully though, there are a lot who come to the try out. Our last one failed and we have plenty of positions open." And she stressed more about Quidditch these days than her school work.

Hearing that Joe was doing fine enlightened Amanda. At least one of them was doing better than the other. Amanda just had too much to think about. Too much on her mind that was preventing her from doing well in her current studies. "Nothing really. Just a lot of lectures about useful charms and magical plants. Woo hoo." She tried to sound chipper near the end.

Glancing around her dim surroundings, she had noticed that fall would soon arrive near the end of this month. She couldn't believe it was already September, meaning another month until Joe would graduate. "So how does it feel almost graduating? You've got less than a month, right?"

[Joe Moon(gone)]

That was good for Amanda. She has finally got to do something besides other things and now that she will help the team to win. Is there a school team? Like if there was other magical schools that has been to quidditch games and if they had their own school team and play for the school? That would be cool and fun to watch but right now there is country quidditch games around the world happing right now. "Well that is great. More plans." Joe does want Ravenclaw to win quidditch games but Hufflepuff is also fine by him. To him it doesn't matter who wins but it was always great if Ravenclaw wins stuff like last term.

Classes are boring, but you have to learn to love it. You will have to learn the stuff like that. His classes are just plain old classes but he has to pay attention or study them all because of the exams at the end of the term so he could gratuate. Gah! Too many things that seventh years have to do!! That just hard for him. When it is at the beginning you will have it easy but when you get older, things will get harder and harder. You just have to get use to it. Good thing that this would be the last year that Joe has to do this before he gets a job. "Classes are classes then."

Gratuation...

Man gratuation means that he has to get a new notebook to look at all the jobs that he could get use to and maybe get. Then he has to find a place to stay. Then he most likely not to go to the school again. Gratuating sucks but you have to get through it. "Man I wish you would remind me that. Now I have to study my butt off. Then I am going to find a job even though I have one already. I might quit the job at the end of the term." Joe sighed. That was hard to say. "Oh and yes I do hate gratuation but it is time to leave which is fine by me." The boy doesn't hate the school but if it was time to get out and move on, then it is what Joe has to do. Maybe that he will come by and visit once in a while when it was time to do whatever. Joe will make sure that he will do that.
