up the steps she goes.

Aaryn was going up the steps. Up, up, up. She had her owl, Barney, perched on her shoulder. He was hooting merrily. She stroked his feathers. He was so pretty. When she had come in to get him this morning, she was in need of him, he had hooted and made her follow him. He had taken her to a beautiful tawny owl. She was pregnant. Awww. How cute. Her Barney was going to be a father. ♥ She had a few crumbs in her hand. As she was walking up the stairs she threw them into the air.

Barney flew after all of them catching most of them in his beak and eating them. She reached the top step and stepped into the Observation tower of Dallin Tower. What was she doing? She was calling upon Holden. What were they going to do? She didn't know. She hadn't seen him in a while, so, she wanted to. When she reached the top, she sat down and Barney came and stood next to her.

She pulled out a small note for him to take to Holden.

Mistuh Caulfield --
We haven't spoken in... Since before term started! Come to teh Dallin Tower, pwease. We can hang out. --
Aaryn

She tied the note onto Barney's leg and he hooted and flew off. She smiled watching him fly into the distance. Then she stood up. Why had she called Holden here? She needed to give a reason. She pulled out a couple chocolates from her pocket. Perfect! She would give him these. Wait. It was chocolate.

She wouldn't give him chocolate! It was her chocolate. She took a chocolate frog and popped it in her mouth. Mmmm... Chocolate was yum! She was lucky she didn't get fat from all the chocolate she ate. If she got fat. >.< She didn't think she'd be able to stand it.

[Holden J. Caulfield]

Holden was in the Hufflepuff Boys Dormatory when an owl perched itsself at the window. His beak hit the glass and Holden turned around. The brunette tilted his head and walked to the window. Holden opened the window and looked at its leg. A letter.

The Hufflepuff untied the letter from the owl's foot. His eyebrow raised and he smiled. Jessica! Holden quickly opened the letter hoping it was Jessica explaining herself. The smile soon disappeared into a composed face. It wasn't Jessica it was Aaryn. A sigh came from his nose as he read the letter.

Mistuh Caulfield --
We haven't spoken in... Since before term started! Come to teh Dallin Tower, pwease. We can hang out. --
Aaryn

Do I even want to meet her? The last time they had seen each other Aaryn kissed him. It made him uncequre. But he wanted to talk to someone other than Jackson Hurely and Avery Moretti. I guess I'll go. I can't keep her waiting.

Holden folded the letter and put the letter in a box full of letters from his father, Jeffree. He got up and took off his pj's and put on The Count shirt from Seasme Street. Holden personally hated Seasme Street with a passion but he loved The Count. He was the only person his parents could get him to watch from the show. Holden slipped into his tight girl jeans and put on his black studded belt.

His foot slipped into his gray Vans and he began running out of the Hufflepuff Boys Dorm. After running down the hallway a Prefect told him to start walking. Holden rolled his eyes and began walking. I wonder what she wants to talk to me for. He ran his hand through his brown hair.

Holden heard his feet step upon the stone stairs as he walked into the Dallin Tower. Soon enough he was pushing against the door. "Aaryn?," he called. His gray eyes searched for the Slytherin girl that he had become friends with. "Aaryn?"

[xxbrokenheartxx]

Aaryn? Aaryn?

Oh. Right. Then came the awkwardness. She remembered the time before term. She hadn't really thought about that. "Oh, hi," she said, "Holden, I haven't seen you in a little while, I figured we could hang out, you know?" Then she realized it sounded like she was asking him on a date. "The way friends hang out, of course." She laughed a little. She looked out the window, to see if Barney had returned. No, he hadn't. He was probably going back to the owlery to nurture the unnamed tawny that he had gotten pregnant.

"Here, take a frog," she said, tossing a chocolate frog to him.

She felt weird now. She had been stupid. Why had she asked him to come. She felt stupid now. She sat down on a windowsill. She looked out the window, waiting. Waiting for Holden to say something. Make her feel not quite so bad. Maybe they'd still had fun. Like friends did. She had forgotten about the moment before, now... Now it all came back. It had come back because Holden had become nervous. She would have forgotten it. It hadn't been a very good kiss anyway. >.<

She looked at the emo looking boy. He had snake bites below his mouth. Why had she just noticed that before? Weird. She was very unobservant. She bit down on her her bottom lip. It had become an annoying habit in the past few weeks. She didn't know how she had attained it, it had just happened. And now it was there. Annoying her. She stopped. She didn't want to mess up the bottom of her lip.

That would be a bad thing.

Then it would be all uglifull. Who wanted ugliful lips? Not Aaryn. Ugliful lips = BAAAAAD. She chuckled mentally. "How goes life?" she asked Holden. She hadn't seen him a while so this seemed fitting to ask. She sighed a little. She would not let this be awkward, "I've already gotten detention, myself."

[Holden J. Caulfield]

Holden heard Aaryn's voice and walked further into the tower. He kept his hands in his pockets as he walked over to her. Aaryn rambled on about it only being a friends hang out day or whatever. His eyebrow raised at the conversation. Whatever rocks her boat.

"I understand. Don't have to explain anything," he said softly to the Slytherin. He moved his bangs over so that he could see better. Lately he had perfered his bangs in his face so no one could see him. Holden took a deep breath as Aaryn threw a Chocolate Frog at him.

Once Holden had given his father a Chocolate Frog. It was pretty funny watching Jeffree just stare at the moving chocolate. Eventually he bit off the frogs head and complimented the candy. It was a good day that day. Holden even got his dad to listen to the Weird Sisters.

"Life is fine. Kind of boring but that's ordinary. What about you?" The Hufflepuff sat down near Aaryn and looked out of the window. "I got detention too. Jack, Av, and me blew up a potion in Potions class on purpose. We did the potion ingredience backwards and tripled the ingredience. It was pretty fun."

[xxbrokenheartxx]

Holden raised his eyebrows. Okay, she was rambling. Bla, bla, bla. Shuddup Aaryn. I understand. Don't have to explain anything, Kk, much better. She smiled. "What should we do today?" Aaryn asked, "I think we should go and play pranks on ickle firsties, fun pranks, not mean ones, and then... Then we can go to the lake and see if we can find the Giant Squid."

Holden took the chocolate frog. Life is fine. Kind of boring but that's ordinary. What about you? "Mmm," she agreed with him. Life hadn't been that great recently. Just average. Though she had met Gia. But that was besides the point. Holden wouldn't understand how that made life interesting and she didn't really feel the need to explain to him.

She stood up and got off the windowsill. A gust of wind came through the open window and her hair was blown into her face. She found some in her mouth. She spit it out. That sucked. Bleh. Stupid hair. She tucked her hair behind her ears, so it wouldn't get in the way. Perhaps, when she got older, she could make it so it stayed that way. Maybe she'd learn a spell about it. It would be very convenient.

I got detention too. Jack, Av, and me blew up a potion in Potions class on purpose. We did the potion ingredience backwards and tripled the ingredience. It was pretty fun. She didn't know who Jack and Av were, but she assumed they were his friends. She imagined Holden in front of a cauldron and then suddenly, BOOM! Potion everywhere. That would have been funny to see. She laughed a little, just at the thought of it.

"I didn't get detention for as nearly an awesome reason," she said, grinning, "I just put Ms. Kohn in her place, you know, stood up for myself. Bleh, I was flat out rude to her, but she deserved it! She made this one girl cry she was being so mean!"
