Suddenly I See... [friends/open]

[grobanitexd]

Having friends in other houses sometimes was a pain in the butt. Aaliyah would not get to see them quite as often as she would see, say some Mihael. And there really was no common room style hangout place but QQ. Aaliyah rarely went there just because, the few times she actually spent there, she spent alone. It just seemed like the majority of her friends hung out in the dorms. Well, sure most of Liyah's friends were Mihaels but that did not mean they had to hang out anywhere else.

But Aaliyah was not waiting for a Mihael. In fact, she was hoping Troy would drop by QQ at some point. She had not seen him in quite a while and earlier that day he happened to just show up for class all of a sudden. And if anyone else came, that was great! The more the merrier. Liyah enjoyed being surrounded by a lot of different people. She sighed and sat on the couch reading out of a magazine. She made sure to glance up every once in a while just to see if any of her friends would show up.

Troy was making his way along the corridor alone as he was waslking towards the Gryffindor Common Room, he had not seen any of his friends for a while and was just going to sit alone by the fire and read through some books, but as he was walking, the door for the Quality Quarters flashed open as someone emerged from the room and it was then he saw Liyah sitting alone on a couch reading a magazine.
Troy turned heel and slowly walked through the door in the QQ's, he was excited yet quite nervous to see Liyah, he had not seen her for a while and he wondered if she would be happy to see him or if she would scold him for disappearing for a long time and not getting in touch with her. He had of course seen her in class, but he was unable to talk to her due to the class being in session so now with being in the common room he was free to do so.

Troy appraoched the couch where Liyah was sitting, he stood above her looking down and smiled, it was good to see her familiar face and he opened his mouth to speak, "Hey Liyah, long time no see" he smiled as he saw Liyah stop still from reading her magazine, he wondered what she would say.

[grobanitexd]

Aaliyah heard her name and immediately looked up at Troy. Smirking she said, "So you really need to tell me where you've been. The last I heard about you was that you had a girlfriend and then you disappeared. I thought you ran off with her." She sat up and moved to the side. Patting the half of the couch next to her which was unused she said, "Come and sit!"

Placing her magazine closed on her lap, Aaliyah waited for Troy to sit and then smiled at him. Tipping her head to the side, she decided to just wait for his excuse for being gone for the last month or so. Not showing up to classes was a big no-no. Not even telling his friends where he had gone was an even bigger no-no. But unless Troy had some good excuse, Liyah was not gonna let him slide that easily. Oh, no.

[troyzoton]

Troy sat down next to Liyah on the couch and smiled as she started asking alot of questions.

"So you really need to tell me where you've been. The last I heard about you was that you had a girlfriend and then you disappeared. I thought you ran off with her."

Troy laughed slightly, "Yeah i do have a girlfriend, but i hadn't ran off with her like you thought" he grinned, "In fact i hadn't seen her all the time i was way..." he said looking slightly disapointed, "But i don't want to get into the whole thing of why i haven't been here, it's complicated" he answered.

"Soo" Troy said changing the subject, "How are you?" he asked as he had not seen her in a long while and he had missed seeing her, "You been up to much other than being to classes?" he asked.

Troy wanted to catch up on what had been going on, he had been away for quite a while after all so he wanted to hear what Liyah had to tell him.

[grobanitexd]

Aaliyah smirked. "Good. You better not have run off with her. I need to keep an eye on you," she winked. "But you know, you scared me. Brendan, he's a Mihael in our year, just left and I don't think he's coming back." She shivered. "It's just scary to not know if your friends are ever gonna return if they've disappeared. I haven't seen Sabra since our trip to Ireland over the break."

There. She said it. The one thing that had been on her mind for the last month. It really hurt her that Sabra had disappeared without warning. She had sent the other girl tons of owls, just trying to get something in return. But there was nothing. She sighed and wiped the single tear from her eye. There was no need to cry right now.

"I haven't been up to much except for classes," she admitted. "I'm planning on going to the Forest this term though. I think it'll be cool in the winter when it's snowing and stuff. I haven't gone yet just because I was hoping you and Sabra would go with me. You're still on for it, right?"

[troyzoton]

Troy loked at Liyah who smirked, "Good. You better not have run off with her. I need to keep an eye on you,"

Troy smirked also and opned his mouth, "Don't need to worry" he smiled, "I didn't run off and i never will run off from here, I love this place, and if i did i'd make sure i contacted you" he smiled.

Troy felt a little guilty that he had not got in touch with Liyah whilst he was away and realised that he would have been upset if his friends such as Liyah and Sabra just got up and left one day without so much as a goodbye, and in fact Sabra had just gotten up and left without saying goodbye and he could tell that Liyah was really upet about this, but not wanting to pursue the issue as he saw Liyah wipe a tear from ehr face as she talked about Sabra, Troy put his arm around her shoulder hoping it would comfort her and smiled "She'll back, don't worry"

Troy brightened up a little as the conversation moved away from people leaving as Liyah talked about going to the forrest.

"I'm planning on going to the Forest this term though. I think it'll be cool in the winter when it's snowing and stuff. I haven't gone yet just because I was hoping you and Sabra would go with me. You're still on for it, right?"
Troy wanted to go to the forrest, he thought it would be really cool as Liyah had said with all the snow.

"Yeah i'm still up for it" Troy replied, "I can't wait to go, I don't think i've actually been in the forrest yet, kinda sad huh" he grinned, "But it will probably be really good if it's snowing....who else is going?" he asked.

[grobanitexd]

[[OOC: Talked to Sabra today. She'll be online all this week since we're on Thanksgiving Break. ]]

"I hope she comes back," Aaliyah said, slolwy. Sabra had never officially said she was leaving, like Brendan had. So there was a hope that she would come back. Same thing with Avery, too. And Troy came back so there was tons of hope. When he put his arm around her, she leaned against him, taking a deep breath. It was great to have a best friend that she could just lean on when she was upset. She wiped the final tear from her face, feeling that she should have no reason to cry and continued to divert her attention away from that subject and back to the Forest one.

"I can only imagine how great it would be with the snow," she said. "Well, as far as who's going, there's you for sure. I need to ask Nort, Gryphon, Vivian, Sabra- if she shows up any time soon. Who else... um, perhaps this first year I met over the break, AnnaSophia. And I'm gonna ask Gyminee. I don't know her that well, but I see her all the time in class and never get to actually talk with her." she shrugged. "Do you think we should get more? Do you want to ask your girlfriend?"

[troyzoton]

[[OOC: Awesome lol]]

Troy listened as Liyah made a list of the people that might be going to the forrest, he recognized the names, Nort and Sabra although he had never met Nort he had just seen him around before but he did not recognize the others.

"Wow" Troy said, "That's quite a list, you sure we need anymore, we don't need to go in a pack do we?" he joked

"Do you want to ask your girlfriend?"

Troy looked at Liyah, "Yeah, I could ask her, I guess you'll be able to meet her then" he said looking slightly worried, he hoped his friend, his best friend would get on with his girlfriend, he didn't want any problems but then again Liyah was a nice person so he couldn't see any reason why they wouldn't get along.

"Should be fun" he smiled

[grobanitexd]

Aaliyah shrugged. "I don't think we're gonna spend the night there. Unless you want to. This is just to explore. A little adventure, you know? We'll start out early in the morning and then be out all day. What do you think?" she said, sitting up. Suddenly, she grew extremely excited for this trip. She put her fingers to her lips as if in deep thought.

"We'll head out as soon as I ask everyone else. I'll let you know about that," she added. "Yeah, that would be cool to meet her. Why hasn't she been in any of the classes?" Aaliyah knew some skipped classes all the time, which kind of annoyed her. She worked hecka hard to get her good grades and pass classes while others just got to move up in the years with little effort.

[ooc::haha 'sabra' is here. (cough cough) hecka my dear? lets try again courtnizzle. lol. and stop stealing my songs geez! (tear tear) lol.]

_{Sabra was wandering around the hallways walking into the Quality Quarters. In her two previous terms, she had never been in here. Why? She wasn't quite sure. She figured she never really had much of a reason to go inside. Today however she figured why not and meet some new people. As she walked in, she heard two familiar voices conversing. They were the voices of Troy and Liyah. She took in a deep breath and walked in making her presence known. "Hey there," she said, smiling sheepishly, her voice very quiet. She sat down in a large overstuffed armchair across from Troy and Liyah, brushing out her hair and pinning her long bangs back with a clip and holding the rest of her hair back with a black shiny headband.}

[[ooc: Darn Matthew and Bisi and all them other Californians. lol *huggles* I love how Troy has no clue what we're talking about. ]]

Troy, Sabra, and Aaliyah. Best Friends.

"Well, speak of the bloody devil," Aaliyah squealed as she jumped off the couch and pounced on the poor Sabra who was sitting across from her. Giving her a HUGE hug, a couple tears came to Liyah's eyes again. She then sat back, feeling sorry that she ever doubted Sabra could leave. There was no reason for her to do so. They were all sticking together til the end, right? That's what best friends do.

"Where have you been?" Aaliyah asked. "I haven't seen you in ages!! Troy and I were just discussing the Forest Trip. Are you coming with us? Please say yes. Please, please, please!" She got down on one knee and held up her hands in prayer. If there was anyone she had always wanted to go on this Forest Trip with, it was Sabra and Troy. Even if everyone else did not come, these two were the only two she needed.

She glanced up at Sabra with big, puppy-dog eyes and pouted her lip. "Pweeze?"

[troyzoton]

[OOC lol what are you going on about, your right i have no idea :S]

Troy looked up as Liyah did and saw a familiar face walking through the room towards them.
"Sabra" Troy gasped as a smile grew bigger on his face, he had alerady found Liyah since he came back and now Sabra.

Troy jumped a little as Liyah bounced out of her seat and ran across to Sabra. Troy followed but he did not run.

"Nice to see you again Sabra" he smiled as he hugged her finding a bitof free room left from Liyah.

Troy looked at Liyah as she dropped to one knee and started pleeding Liyah to go on the trip into the forrest.

"Go on" Troy smiled, "How can you say no to that face" he laughed as Liyah knelt looking like a puppy.

[ooc: huggles? haha. we're talking about some of this lingo she's picking up from our friends at school and the fact that she's a song stealer. [nods] yup she stole some of my favoritist. yes, favoritist songs. lol. ]

_{The Mihael's eyes widened. There wasn't much she could do. As a matter of fact, she was basically pinned to the chair. She nodded though. "Sure, I guess I'll go. I don't think you would not let me go. But I'll let you know now. I'm not much of an adventurer." Sabra looked at Troy and shook her head. "What are we going to do with this one here? I think we cut her off from all sugar," she concluded, laughing. "Ah, where have I been? Hehe.. I've been at home. My brother Jordan was sick. That's my oldest one. So yeah.. It was kind of bad so yeah."}

[grobanitexd]

[[ooc: -rolls eyes- There you go, Z. I took the song lyrics off. You happy?]]

"Yay!" Aaliyah grinned and hugged Sabra again. When she finished cutting off Sabra's air supply she stepped back and crossed her arms across her chest. "Cut off my sugar? Now that's a bit extreme isn't it?" She rolled her eyes and moved back to the chair where she was orginally sitting. She pulled her legs up underneath her and sat indian style.

Her smile faded when Sabra explained why she had been gone. "Oh, wow. Is he better now?" she asked. She could not even imagine what she would do if Charlie, her brother, ever got sick. Charlie was beyond anyone else, her best friend in the entire world. She had a hard enough time coming to Hogwarts because it meant being separate from him. She could not imagine her world with out him.
