theres no hope for today...


Its so weird how sometimes she just ends up staying at the clocktower when she needed to think, that is if she's not in the common [slytherin], the forest, or whatever she usually goes to, which isn't a lot. The clock tower is just a place to think. The relaxing of the bells is all you could hear and you could just get away.

She didn't even know why sometimes she feels the way she does. You know, always sad. She guess that's just how life wants her to feel even if sometimes she is happy. The little moments of happiness never does last and she knew it never will. So, instead, what she does is just sit still and think. Her guitar is with her but she's not playing it. Her notebook is next to her but she's not drawing anything on it. She would just sit and think.

She knew that people probably think she's weird, especially with her ways or something but whatever. Sitting down and just being still and thinking about nothing is somewhat relaxing to her. There was no one around. There weren't any birds nearby or anything that could possibly make noise, except for the chiming clocks.

I climb. I slip. I fall...

Standing at the bottom of the stairs to the tower, a pair of brown eyes stared up the ascending hallway. The thirteen year old had just discovered the tower from the outside, and had spent most of her day trying to find the way up. Now here she was.

Tugging on the ends of her brown hair, the Mihael glanced around before starting up the stairs. She wore a light blue shirt with the Roxy logo pasted on the front, her uncle's huge black NAVY sweatshirt, and on her legs a pair of three year old jeans that were still way to big and way to long. The cuffs of her pants were fringed and torn, along with the knees of the pants and other random spots where the fabric had softened. The lose fitted DC shoes clunked up the stairs as her heel came out of them with every step.

Finally the girl, Munelisa Vincine, made it to the top of the stairs. The door in front of her. Turning the handle she slipped into the clock tower room, her eyes widened and she looked around the room. It was a lovely looking room, definitely worth the entire day search. Munelisa was so interested in the room, she did not notice the older girl.

[Kali Rune]

Tick. tock. tick. tock. It was always the same noise she hears ever once in a while. Nothing would change. Or at least she is sure that it wouldn't. The noise wouldn't stop, unless the clock stops, which is something that the Slytherin couldn't' think that would happen. How could it?

Moments pass and still she is silent. A noise she heard. It was so soft that it is always hard to here. It was the door. The knob was slowly turning and then a girl entered. Fascination and excitement. That is what the fifth year would guess as the emotion of the girl. Didn't she see that there is someone there though? Probably not.

Kali did not know whether to just say 'hello' or cough or something to get the girl's attention. She figure that she would wait a moment longer or something before she say something to the girl. At least give her a few moments to look around. But she didn't do that. Not exactly.

In a soft voice, Kali said "May i help you?" to the girl, something that she does not say often. Usually if she finds someone else around the room, she would be like 'hello'. And she didn't know why she even just sad 'may i help you to her'.

[munelisa]

The first year placed a clenched fist on her chest when she heard a voice, turning her head to the direction it had come from slowly. Spotting the girl Munelisa lowered her hand slowly looking at the girl, just sitting there seeming to be listing to the loud ticks and tock of the tower. In a way they were comforting.

"Ah, no sorry." She said clapping her hands together in front of her face, an apologetic gesture. "I was just exploring and stumbled across this place." Munelisa shook her brown hair out of her eyes, her head tilted slightly as she looked at the scene in front of her.

"Y'know. You sitting like that... The colours surround you.. It would make a pretty painting." Mun said, before covering her mouth. Maybe it was weird to just go up to someone and say that they would look good in a painting.. but maybe it wasn't. The Mihael had never before been in a position quite like this one.

"But if you rather I leave.. That's fine." The girl said pointing to the door that she had entered.

[Kali Rune]

It had seem that the girl didn't know that she's even there. At all. And Kali was surprise that the girl was shocked or just surprised that Kali even existed. She was even surprise that the girl gave her an explanation for being there. There was no need for that but then again, she might have ask her what she was doing there later on so that hadn't done harm.

"Y'know. You sitting like that... The colours surround you.. It would make a pretty painting." the girl said and Kali smile slightly. "Thanks..." she told the girl. The Slytherin didn't know how to respond to this. Of course her 'thanks...' is the only way that she could think of as the best way to respond. As you see, she's not that jumpy-happy type of person, unless she gets super hyper, so she doesn't sound that enthusiastic but she is grateful at the girl's comment.

"No. That's alright. You can stay here if you want to" Kali said to the girl quickly. She doesn't want the girl to leave just because she's there and all. That would make her feel bad making someone leave like she owns the place. If she was in her alert mood [aka i-dont-trust-you-and-i-dont-like-you mood that never happens] she would have been mean but it has never happened and she doesn't think that she would have any problem with anyone at the school.

"What's your name?" Kali asked the girl.

[munelisa]

Munelisa grinned and nodded, "Your very welcome." She replied as the girl thanked her. Shaking brown hair from her eyes the Mihael looked at the girl, couldn't help thinking about the painting. She'd just have to try and remember the scene for later. The hands that had ended up hanging by her side, moved up her side and slid into giant pockets that her small hands just seemed to disappear into.

Gladdened by the comment, Munelisa nodded, trying not to act as happy as she was to be able to stay here.

"Ah.. Thank you. I think I will stay here for a while..It's.." She paused for a moment to think of the right word to describe the place. The room was calming, pretty, soothing, and so many more words. Soon she decided on one word that described it all. "Enchanting." Munelisa finished her sentence with.

"I liked to be called either Mun or Lisa." She stated not bothering with her real names, just in case the girl sitting down figured out the play on words and how it was similar to a painting and its artist. Munelisa nodded to the girl, "It is nice meeting ya.. Mind if I ask what your name is?" She said shifting her weight to the other foot.

[Kali Rune]

Kali nodded at the girl once again. She liked the clocktower. It is peaceful in there and it's easier to think when one has a troubled mind. It may not be the best place to think for some people but it is one of the best place that one could think at. For some people it, it could be the forest, the lake, the dorm, whatever. And she agrees too by the girls comment, it is an 'enchanting' place to be at.

"I liked to be called either Mun or Lisa." the girl added later on and Kali couldn't help but wonder, since the two names the girl had given her is most likely her nickname, whether the girl's real name is Monalisa or something? Didn't this painter, Da Vinci, did a painting of a woman named Monalisa? It was quite famous.

"Um...is your real name Monalisa or is it something else?" the Slytherin couldn't help but ask the girl. How couldn't she when it was tempting to ask. "My name is Kali" she told the girl. She hope that the girl would think that her name isn't a nickname or anything but she suppose that most people just call her by her real name, except for a few people who might sometimes call her Kals or something. But yea...the girl's name is pretty interesting and again, more unique names here.

[munelisa]

Munelisa glanced to the ground quickly, then up to the ceiling when the girl asked about her real name. With no means of escape the thirteen year old sighed and nodded slowly.

"Close. My first names MUNElisa." She said stressing the beginning, the only part that was different from the painting. Munelisa smiled weakly and shrugged, guessing that the girl had figured out the reference of her name. Her parents had thought that it would be entertaining and hopefully symbolic to name their first child after the painting they admired so much. Then since their last name also had part of the artist DaVinci in it, it all just fit so perfectly.

"Well it is nice meeting you Kali." Munelisa said, repeating the name in her head so that it would be easier to remember later if needed. Kali, well it was a nice name. Short and easy to remember, smiling slightly Mun realized that she might be able to remember this particular girls name.

[Kali Rune]

The Slytherin nodded. What a unique name that is. Munelisa. NOT Monalisa. She gets it. But it was interesting also for the fact that instead of just giving [her parents that is] Lisa the oh so famous name, they gave her a unique name, which she was sure that no one has. She suppose that that is a good thing, her name standing out that is. Plus, the sound has its own little ring. The name does sounds nice. Munelisa.

"Likewise" Kali said to Lisa. The Slytherin would have said the whole sentence but somehow she couldn't say it. What sentence that is? The whole 'nice to meet you too'. It was nice to meet her but all she could say was 'likewise'. Hopefully the girl wouldn't find that...rude? of her to just say?

The Slytherin looked around the room once before looking back at the girl. She blinked twice. "How are you?" The Slytherin finally asked after a few seconds. How odd is that to ask that? Or maybe it was not that odd?
