Jelly Fish[Open]

[grimvalentine]

She stared at him for a moment, watching him whip his hands on his pants. I wonder what he's thinking about...she thought to herself.

"Something...about me...Well....ummm...I'm a sucker for love stories and happy endings..." She said.

Wow that was random and uninteresting she thought.

"Ummm...I want to be a writer or a photographer or both." she continued."What do you want to know about me?"

[Brent Raven]

"Everyone loves happy endings. Then in some books. You'll get a main character that dies.. Which always sucks.. Because then your like. It there is a second one.. or a movie.. I'm not going to see them die, or not having them in the next book. Which always sucks.." he said.

"As for what I want to know. Anything.. It can be entirely random... Which I'm very random. So it doesn't matter to me.." Brent told her. "And writing and photography is awesome. Their amazing arts. I'm surprised your not in Mihael. Arts is what makes us.. Mihaels..." he stated.

[grimvalentine]

Raven laughed.

"I really hate when people die in stories unless i don't like them."she said."I guess i was just to evil to be a Mihael. haha."

Raven pulled out a chair and sat down. She was getting a bit tired of standing.

"You should sit too." she said gesturing to the chair next to hers.

"Well something random about me would be...ummm...I really hate Dark Chocolate and my favorite actor in the whole world is Gaspard Ulliel and well I don't really have anything else to say about myself."

[Brent Raven]

"Oh come off it.. You just don't know what to say, because your afraid I'll judge you." he said walking over to the chair, and sat in it. "Okay, so you like an actor and dark chocolate." he said with a shrug. "Okay, here we go, I jump up and down randomly all the time. If I could change one thing about me, it would be my height, to make myself 5'6 not 6'1. My favorite animal is the endangered Okapi. Favorite colors, is Dodger Blue, or Lime Green." Brent said pausing. "My middle name is Mathew. I'm orginally from Italy. I live with my aunt and two cousins. My best friend is Symantha Grey a Slytherin. Now you try..." he told her.

"and there is no such thing as evil Slytherins, just moody ones... Slytherins, just have standards to high sometimes. But alot of Slytherins, are not like what most belived. They don't hate life... You and Sym are proof of that.."

[grimvalentine]

Raven looked at him a bit surprised. She bit her lip nervously, looking away. The truth was she was a little scared he would judge her.

"Well...I'm an only child, My dad died when i was three and I live with my mother now. My favorite color is also Lime Green. umm My favorite animal is wolves. My best friends are Evelyn Harper a Hufflepuff and Kali Rune a Slytherin. Happy now?"

[Brent Raven]

"Yes I am happy now.. Was that so hard?" he asked her with a wicked smile. "It didn't kill you now did it.. Besides, I now know alittle about you... Besides the fact that you, like Jelly Fish.... Your a Slytherin and your name is Raven.." Brent said. "And don't feel bad, my father died when I was 8 from Cancer.. Then my mum she died earlier this year.... And I was an only child as well. I belive my mother had enough trouble with just me." he told Raven with a shrug.

"And you never have to worry about me judging you. I don't judge people, because I'm the one that gets judged because I'm a We...." Brent paused, he almost let it slip. His only secret that he kept from everyone. Not even Symantha knew of. He wasn't about to let it slip now. Not after all the work he took, with keeping it tucked away in the depths of his mind.

[grimvalentine]

Raven felt a bit ashamed about thinking he would judge her. She looked down at her lap.

"I'm glad you know more about me.." Raven said looking up, "..and I'm glad your happy you know more about me."

She smiled. Raven narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously upon hearing him trail off without finishing his sentence.

"What was that?" she asked.

[Brent Raven]

Brent, had suspected that she would question what he had forgotten to finish. Instead of panicing, Brent answered her question simply. "Sometimes. I think of something, then realize that it's totally irrelevant to the subject. I almost said I'm a Weirdo..... But that's irrelevant." Brent said to Raven. He knew that he just lied, but he really didn't want anyone to know about him being a werewolf, only his cousins knew about it. If he was going to tell anyone about it, the person he'd tell would be Symantha. He had nothing against Raven, but Sym would be the person to most understand, despite the fact that Raven was facinated with meeting with one. If the time was right, he'd tell her someday.

"And it's a pleasure to get to know something about you. It would be a shame not to know anything about you more than a few tid-bits." Brent explained. "it's better to get to know someone, than say that you met someone, without knowing them." he told Raven with a smile.

[grimvalentine]

Raven didn't quite believe his answer but decided to leave it alone. If he had lied then it must have been worth lying about. She understood because she had secrets too. Secrets she'd lie about if she had to. She smiled a little at him.

"I agree with you on getting to know someone. Friends are always a help." she said.

[Brent Raven]

"As I told my Ex-Girlfriend Allyson, I told her, even if were not together, that it's best to have good friends." he told Raven. "And I now know you and I are going be pretty good friends." He assured her. "That means. If you need anything.. Anything at all. You can come and find me someplace..... If I'm not there.. Then sorry bout your bad luck..."Brent said with a grin.

[grimvalentine]

Raven smiled knowing she had made a good friend. It was a comforting feeling.

"It's okay. If I can't find you i always have other people or things." she said."Tell me...if it's not to personal..why did you and Allyson break up?"

Raven hoped he wouldn't be mad or anything about the question. Making Brent mad or uncomfortable is the last thing she would want. Plus, she hated making anyone mad.

[Brent Raven]

Brent belived the question although strange was fair enough asked one. "Well, it's a bit weird.. It was alittle bit before I came here and all I left her was a note. Telling her it was over.. Well she recently came here, like I. To get a magical education. I finally had the guts to tell her, I fell out of in love with her and I didn't want to hurt her. I thought when I came here, I wouldn't see her again. I felt stupid to think that..." he told Raven.

"eh. I'm sure you'll find me somewhere.. I'm to tall to miss around here. Especially if I'm with Illusion.. She comes like up to my elbow. It's funny.. I can use her as a arm rest as I walk."

[grimvalentine]

Raven listened intently for some reason. She felt it was important to know if she was his friend. Then again it was like this with most of her friends. She just had to know everything about them. Some people thought it was weird but she thought it was something every friend should do.

Raven laughed. "Your rather funny you know that?"

Another thing Raven loved was laughing. It gave her a warm feeling inside. It helped her though some of her toughest times. Like when her father died. She only remembered it a bit but she remembered her mother reading jokes to her when she cried.

[Brent Raven]

"I am funny.. Because that is the way I see things in my life are.. Funny..." Brent said in reply. "As all my friends tell me, is that I have to much of a good humor.. I try not to take things to litteraly either..." Brent told her with a shrug. "Besides humor is a good way to get stress out. And to make yourself feel better."

[grimvalentine]

Raven realized something she had never thought of when she bumped into him. She wondered by she hadn't. They were in the library.

"I can't believe i never asked you before but what are you doing at the library?"

She laughed a little thinking how weird it was that she hadn't asked before.

[Brent Raven]

"I read alot.. But I tend to keep that to myself... I mean. I'm a rocker.. Rockers aren't really seen as intellectual readers, of imaginary litterature.. I read alot of books, that people, tend to think about us. Well not nessacary people, more like Muggles. Maybe even once in awhile I'll read about something that I never knew about the Magical World, and some things about what I can learn later in life when I get a job." Brent told Raven

[grimvalentine]

Raven thought for a moment. Putting her words together somewhat carefully.

"Not everyone has to follow stereotypes. My friend who favored pop and R&B and she's kind of a prep ish person listens to Green Day and the All American Rejects. A rocker can read and a nerd can rock out."

Raven laughed. She tried to make her little mini speech sound meaningful but it came out all weird. She was okay with that. She thought she got her point across. Hopefully.

[Brent Raven]

"I understand that much.. But I find it better to avoid the whole image all together. I can be a rocker and read, I read in my privacy, if someone catches me. It'll be a surprise to them, causing a conversation starter." Brent said with a shrug. He never cared about what people say, he just kept people guessing all the time.

The whole image of himself was a musician. But he could be a entirely different person without his red, black and white guitar in his hands. Brent was someone who kept his secrets, and kept his personality something that people would have to dig and get to know the Mihael more and more, to understand him enough,

[grimvalentine]

Raven sat silent, looking down at her lap. Her mind was all of a sudden blank. She didn't know where she was or why she was there. Her mind started spinning.

She looked up at Brent. Her eye's vacant of emotion. She turned her head from side to side examining her surroundings. She turned back to Brent, examining him also. She couldn't think straight. She knew she knew him but she couldn't remember anything.

"Umm.....where...am I?" Raven asked trying hard to remember.

[Brent Raven]

Brent rose a eye brow. "What do you mean, where are you? We're in the library Rae......" he told her, looking at her with a concern look opon his face.
