Falling Down [Open]

[Holden J. Caulfield]

My body is aching.
I'm losing my hope.
As soon as I'm done.
This is it I'm falling.
This is my reason for going.[/size][/color]

Holden sang the newest Atreyu CD as he danced going up the stairs. He didn't give a death what everyone thought of Atreyu's new cd. It was amazing. Completely gorgeous and a work of art. A masterpiece to the fifth years ears. It was so much better than A Grip from Yesterday.

"I'm shaking. My body is shaking. I lose my hope. I will let go. I will go home," he sang. "I will let go," he screamed harshly. Holden banged his head in the old fashion metal way. He couldn't remember a time he didn't bang his head to music.

The fifth year remembered his mom telling Holden that his grandmother though Holden was going to be a Satanist. Hilarious. His grandmother Alice only thought that because Holden's mom used to listen to KISS, Whitesnake, Alice in Chains, ReoSpeedwagan, Def Lepard, and a few other bands. Jeffree personally liked Alice in Chains and Bush and a good bit of Holden's music. Jeff found it funny watching his son bang his head to music and get headaches.

"We'll never die! Stand by your side. Close my eyes so we'll never die!," he bellowed at the top of his lungs. His voice was cracking a bit since he hadn't screamed in like ages. Holden had been in a good mood all morning. How the teenager was completely hyper no one understood. Not even Holden himself.

Holden wished his iPod named Ben Stolen worked throughout the school besides the Muggle Electronics Room. How wonderful that would be. Grawr. Deadly wonderful. He'd spend all his time on the roof listening to his music.

How could Atreyu get this good? 'The Curse' was amazing; also a masterpiece. Then 'A Deathgrip on Yesterday' was pretty good. Then 'Lead Sails Paper Anchor' sounded completely amazing altogether. Couldn't have made a better cd. Just too amazing for works. Anyone that had a problem could take it somewhere else and whine in the corner for all Holden cared. No one and I mean no one could ruin his mood.

Holden stopped banging his head to the lyrics running a hundred miles through his head. He moved his hair out of his face with his hand as he walked over to the couch. "Stand by your side. Close my eyes so we'll never die." Very good song besides Honor and Lose It.

How the Hufflepuff aquired this cd was simple. One word: Limewire. A pirate! Well if they didn't want kids stealing music they wouldn't allow people to make programs for people to do that. And Holden and I promise we'll get the cd so that they can get money for food and so they could come to a city near us. A pirate oath we swear. [crosses heart].

Holden blinked and looked around the room. Abandoned the room was till the six foot kid walked in there. Not much people are around today. Wonder where they are, he thought as he proped his feet on the couch and put his arms behind his head.

Cora tromped up the stairs that were in the Dallin Tower. Ever since she had met Brayden in the tower, she had been so glad she'd found the tower. It's very equaled heavenly almost. A great place for a rising artist to do her nift artwork, and this time well She had brought her sketch pad, and her pencils. Instead of have to magic them to her. which was better, except now her arm was starting to hurt. She had a bag of pencils hanging off her right arm, and it hadn't been this heavy before. maybe she had just accumulated more pencils than she was used to...maybe.

She thought she'd be alone, of course why would she think that. The last time she came here there was a boy who had a somewhat same idea as her. Only he had stumbled upon the towers, while little Cora and gone in search of them... And now there was another boy. Not that, that was bad, but she had been wanting to be alone to draw. Stop whining Cora. Just deal, and make a friend, you poo. She cleared her throat to make her presence known. As the boy shouted some more lyrics that unfogged her mind as to why there were weird noises floating down the stairs. She had just thought of it as some ghost, but whatever.

"um Hello." She clearly made her presence known now. Just incase he hadn't heard her before. You could never be to sure. "What are you..er..singing?" She asked and stepped farther into the room. He was sitting on the couch, and she distinctly did not remember being there last time she was here. But hey the castle was forever changing it wasn't like she could control what the castle did. Ooh if she could, things would be SO much more fun.

[Holden J. Caulfield]

"Bang! Explosions in my head that just won't quit. A train is crashing through the wall around my heart
and left it only dead, obliterated. Stop! My breathing in the night when you're not there. The silence ringing through my ears and all I want to do is hear your voice but you're not there."

Holden looked to a female voice. His gray eyes looked her up and down. When had she gotten there? People always seemed to just appear near him. Personally it freaked him out beyond belief. You'd think he would be used to it but he wasn't.

"Hello," he said to the girl. To the fifth year the small girl seemed like a firstie. Cute. That's all this school needed was more little kids that Holden would trip over. =[ Darn him and his six footself.

"Drawn together pain is rushed through slight of hand, blink we won't go up in smoke. Things colliding love undying. Like the rising tide beating hearts grow but never die to simplify. I'll stand by your side. Close my eyes. Hope will never die," he sang to himself looking away from the girl.

She probably wanted to room to herself. Oh well. He was here first but he'd share the room. Holden moved up a bit so he was sitting on the seat stead of laying across it. It was just in case the girl wanted to sit down too. Share! =] Holden sat Indian Style and hummed a bit.

"My name is Holden," he said breaking the silence.[/size]

What a funny..tall boy. She watched as he went over and sat Indian style and started to hum. After a bit of awakward silence he spoke. Holden, well that's a new name. She smiled brightly and went over and sat down next to him. Mimicing what he was doing, but adding her own little touch of girl. Her ahdns rested upon her knees. Thumb and index finger touching to make an O like shape, the rest of her fingers stcuk out kind of looking like...um sticky outy fingers really...

"So do you come here often?" She couldn't help but smile. She hadn't meant to use a cheesy pick up line that some drunken man in a pub might use on some horrendously ugly woman, but the drunken man didn't know that because the 5 gajillion beers he had drunk had affected his sight. She giggled a bit at her stupidity. And of course she was the only one giggling.

Her eyes were closed now, as if she was in deep meditation. "OOOMMM" her mother had too many Yoga videos...that Cora just happened to borrow and watch, and make fun of. And look where that got her. The young Mihael opened one eye, and looked at Holden to see what he was doing now. She scrunched up her nose, for no apparent reason. It was just kind of habit. Silly faces + Silly situations = Cora.

['tis 'kay. We all get writer's block. I had writers block for about two weeks then I actually made a thread.]

Holden couldn't help laugh at the old pick up line. His friend Josh's and his was, 'I have a big couch'. No joke. They used to say that to each other all the time for a joke. 'Hey Holden!' 'Yeah?' 'I have a big couch.' Then of course Holden would fall to the ground laughing hysterically. No one ever understood the two boy's inside jokes. But that was the point.

"Why yes," he said in a matter-of-fact tone. "Do you come here often?" It was a stupid question since she looked new but you never knew these days for certain. Holden pulled his legs close to him and put his arms around him.

A chuckle came out as the girl began to 'Ooommmm'. Holden shook his head and smiled. The Hufflepuff scrunched his nose back at at her. "Nah," he joked. "What house are you in?"[/size]

[cora]

"Well not often. But I attempt to come here as many times as possible." She picked up her sketch pad and what not that she had brought with here. "I came here to draw today. But then you're here." She paused for a couple seconds, "And I though I make friend with local boy, yes?" She said the last part in a false russian accent. But it usually fooled people who didn't know she wasn't Russian. In this case it would hopefully get a laugh, because Holden had already heard her speak English. To really trip him up, she would've started speaking Spanish, since she was from Barcelona and all. But her parents had made sure that they taught her proper english as well, so no accent.

"I'm a little Mihie!" She exclaimed. last night she had spent all night thinky of Mihael nicknames. Mihie, Mih, Mihaely, and some others that escaped her brain at the moment. "And what house are you in?" Her blue eyes scanned the room slowly. It looked the same since the last time she had come here. The view was a bit different, but that's because the last time she came here it was during dinner, so no kids were outside. But today, was a different day and kids ran and screamed their heads off down below the tower. A part of her wished to be down there, but a part of her wanted to stay here. Of course she'd stay here, how rude would it be to just get up and leave him here. Unless he wanted to be alone...

well if he wanted to be alone, he could just say something. And Cora wasn't going to ask if he wanted to be alone. It would make her look uncomfortable, and she'd probably go on some babble spree that was deeply not needed. Her blue orbs came to set up on the boy. He was tall....way taller than this shorty. Which was odd, but odd was her middle name. Well...kind of not really, that was a lie. Although, how cool would that be. 'Hello I'm Cora Odd Lynn.' she attempted to supress a giggle, and it half worked the only noise that came from her was a little squeak, but nothing to loud, and hopefully not noticable.
