Geek In The Pink[EMMA & OPEN]

[marissa]

Marissa was bored out of her mind. This was a usual thing lately it seemed. There was always plenty of homework, but this year she seemed to be doing much better than last term. Not that she did bad last term, but she had definetly been stressed out most of the time. This term, however, she was taking it easy, and was spending time doing more things that she actually wanted to do. She was even starting to eat breakfast! That was an amazing feit in itself. She had even stopped and gotton herself a butterbeer before coming into the QQ for a rest. Well, not a rest really, but what else was there to do?

She had planted herself in one of the large leather chairs that seemed to swallow her small figure. She was wearing jeans that had some roughed out spots, and a pink tee. Her long blonde hair was down as usual in its natural waves. Taking a sip of her butterbeer, she sighed. Life was good when you had a butterbeer in your hand. Silently she wondered if you could get addicted to the stuff. Marissa, after all, was already addicted to Pumpkin Juice. Now that was some goooood stuff! =] Oh and candy, she loved candy....

Setting her drink down on the table next to her chair, she looked towards the door. Surely somebody would come in and have no choice but to talk to her. Yeah, somebody would come in.

[Kelly Locend]

A humming noise. Well. Of course. Because the humming noise was coming from a girl that did like to hum quite a lot. And she was on her way to the Quality Quarters. For some unapparent reason even to her. Maybe because she just had the random urge to go there. Yes, that had to be Kells! Of course, there was no other way to describe anything else she did. You'd just say, that's Kells! And every one of her actions would be explained in that little sentence. If you could even call that a sentence. She finally reached it, even though it took like a minute. Haha. Everything was a journey to her. Just because that was how she was. Plus, she was lazyy. That was fo shooo. She opened the door with a creak, and stepped inside cautiously, just to make sure no one was behind the door. Now, we don't want this sixteen year old hitting someone right in the noggin, now do we? No. Bad idea.

Kelly wore a pair of red skinny jeans, which definitely matched her bright red hair. A blue t-shirt was over that, plain enough and really quite blue. On her feet were a pair of sandals, tan in color but not clashing with her jeans. Her green eyes were outlined in orange, and there was a bit of yellow in there as well. Looking around with this humongous grin on her face, showing her teeth, she noticed a single other girl in the room. Weird enough. But you know? It would be quite a good idea to say hello or something. Just to not seem like a loner and an outcast who hated people. NOOO. That was nothing like Kells, even though she was quite shy at times. It was hard to get her to talk when she didn't feel like it. It was hard to get her to shut up when she really wanted to talk.

"Hi there." She said quietly, sitting down in one of those huge arm chairs with pretty much ate her 5'1", 86 lb body in its many crevices. "I'm Kelly Locend, better known as Kells." Wow, just randomly start talking to someone you don't even know. Oh well, that was definitely Frenchie for you.

Emma entered the Quality Quarters completely exhausted from the days classes. She plopped down on a couch across from two girls. Glancing up, she realized that one of them looked slightly familiar.

"Are you...Marissa?" she asked. "I think I saw you at the dance with Gerard."

[marissa]

Marissa was right, as a girl that looked to be a bit older than herself walked in. Marissa didn't recognize her, but she didn't really recognize a lot of people. There were too many. The girl plopped down into one of the chairs like the one Marissa was sitting in. She noticed that the other girl was around the same size as Marissa too. After the girl said her name, Marissa realized who she was. Kelly Locend.... If she was correct, Kelly was a seventh year. Oh! She used to date Gerard. Or were they still dating? Marissa wasn't sure.

"Hey. I'm Marissa Harper." she said with a smile. Before she could say anyhing else though, a familiar face came in to join them. It was Emma! She had only seen her once or twice, but she got a good vibe from the girl. "Yeah hey!" she said, in an excited voice. "Your Emma. Right?" she asked. Speaking of Gerard. Where was he? Marissa hadnt seen him since the dance. He had probably already forgotton about his new friendy friend. Awww. How sad was that?!

[emmawinters]

"Yep!" Emma grinned. "That's me!" She looked at Marissa and saw a glimpse of sadness in her pretty eyes. "Is something wrong?" she asked, though it was probably none of her business.

[marissa]

Marissa sat up a little straighter in her large chair. She hadn't really been around Emma for long, but she already liked her. They seemed a lot alike. Or at least like they would get along really well. Marissa had been here for three terms now. Sure, she had friends, but she really didn't have a best friend. Well, there was Gerard. He was her Bestie. =] But Marissa thought she needed a girl to be able to talk to sometimes as well. Maybe her and Emma would become fast friends.

So, Emma had basically read her mind. Freaky. Or maybe she was showing her emotions on her face. That wasn't good. She actually could tell Emma what was on her mind, but after pondering that thought for a moment, Marissa decided it might not be a good idea. Maybe they could meet up in Hogsmeade sometime and chat some more. "Oh, well. No. Not really." Marissa said, smiling at Emma, "Just thinking." she added quickly. "So, what have you been up to?" she asked Emma.

[emmawinters]

Emma raised an eyebrow, but she let it go. If Marissa didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't pressure her to. "Let's see...I tried out for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, my tryout went really well but I still haven't heard if I made the team or not. I've been visiting Walker Lake a lot, and just basically hanging out here when classes are done for the day. I haven't been to Hogsmeade yet, that was something I've been wanting to do but I can never find the time for it. How 'bout you?"

[marissa]

Marissa noticed the look Emma gave her. She knew that Emma wasn't going to make her talk about right now. They would most definetly have to hang out again sometime. It would be good for Marissa to have somebody to talk to.

So Emma had tried out for the Quidditch team? That was awesome. Marissa herself had been thinking about trying out for the Ravenclaws team. Maybe next term that would happen. =] Emma hadn't been to Hogsmeade? That must change. Hogsmeade was simply brilliant! Yeah, her and Emma were definetly going to go.

"Thats really awesome!" Marissa said excitedly. "I hope you make it. Then I can come cheer for you at the games." she added with a giggle. She really did love Quidditch. "Yeah, I love the lake. I do some of my best thinking there." Wow. That made Marissa sound all deep. Well, actually, she was kinda deep. Most people just didn't know it. "Me and you are definetly going to have to go to Hogsmeade. Its ga-" she said, but then stopped. "I mean its great." she quickly. She had almost said ga-roofy. Hehe That was Gerards word.

[emmawinters]

Emma grinned at Marissa's enthusiasm. She hardly knew her, but this was definately someone that would become a long-term friend. Fer sure!! (Another one of Gee's sayings. )

Emma brightened when Marissa mentioned Hogsmeade. "Really? That'd be so cool if we could go together!! I've been wanting to go but I don't really want to go by myself, ya know?" She shuddered. "Way too scary, but I'd love to go with you! That way we could talk more!!" She noticed Marissa's little fumble but decided not to comment on it. She knew better then prying into other people's lives. She wouldn't want someone to do that to her, and so she wouldn't do it to them. Golden Rule.

[marissa]

Yayy! Emma wanted to go to Hogsmeade with her! She new exactly where to go to. Well, take that back. They should either go to the Three Broomsticks or get some tea and cake! Oh yes. That would be lotsa fun. =]

Marissa clapped her hands together excitedly. "Oh yes we most definetly should!" she said smiling brightly. "We should should either go for butterbeer or tea." she added. "What do you think?" Marissa asked Emma. Yeah, Emma was pretty awesome. Marissa liked having awesome people as friends. hehe
