When this began

Landon felt obliged to send a note to his family every so often. It wasn't as if he particularly liked them, nor they to him, but it seemed as if it was something he had to do. So, that was why he was headed up to the Owlery on this fine day. He walked quickly up the steps, a folded note clutched in his hand. When he reached the top of the tower, he stopped for a moment, looking around. It was very hectic, with all the owls flying around, hooting loudly. He wondered how he'd find his own owl, Lakisha.

I had nothing to say

He did not need to have his question answered. Lakisha flew straight towards him, hooting happily. Landon found a few bread crumbs in his pocket which he let her eat from his hand. "Good girl," he said softly. She hooted happily again and then flew to his shoulder. He held out his note and she understood instantly. She flew in front of him and allowed her to tie the note onto her leg, then she flew away. He couldn't tell where she was in the horde of owls, but he assumed out the window.

And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me

He stood there for a moment. It was oddly peaceful, standing there, with all the owls flying around. It felt kind of good. He took a seat and looked at the birds, thinking. His time here at Trio's had been rather good so far, he had met lots of girls. That was awesome. xP But he longed to meet a guy. Someone he could talk to about guy things. Someone who wouldn't flip out if he started acting horny. He sighed, wondering if he was doomed to only meet girls for the rest of his time here at Trio's. It seemed like a nice thing, but sometimes you just wanted to meet a guy.

[I got... creative. =X]

Oh, for the love of GAWD.

"You have got to be kidding me!"

He lost him again. He had lost Elfie again! Was there any end to his useless ways? That poor cat was probably off getting chewed on by some fat kid's dog.

...

Okay, that was over doing it, but you get the point. It's not like he meant to lose Elfie. It just sort of... happened. He had left the common room earlier this morning and he must've accidently let Elfie out as well. Well that was all good and dandy, but where the heck was he?

He had to be somewhere. Maybe he was in the Owlery again? The idea struck Isaac like a two tonned brick. Why hadn't he thought of that before? Jumping out of his seat in the Quality Quarters, the Ravenclaw grabbed his army green book bag and hurtled out of the room, leaving behind some confused looking girl he had just been conversing with. He'd make it up to her later, probably. Maybe. Meh. He might.

Isaac ignored a few professors that told him to stop running as he whizzed past their classrooms, desperately trying to remember exactly where the Owlery was. It was somewhere near the Dallin Tower, right? Yeah, sure. Of course it was. He could find that tower. Except... the last time he was there was in the middle of the night, in his pajamas, and talking to some girl named Gene.

Crap. He was screwed.

The door to the Owlery creaked slowly open. Elfie poked his fuzzy white and golden head around the door. Owls were flying everywhere. His large, gray orbs tracked a few of the smaller ones, but he had no intention of trying to catch one. He clearly remembered what happened last time his owner caught him trying to feast.

Instead of finding Isaac, though, Elfie was drawn to a different boy standing in the room. The small kitten scampered in, suddenly excited about a new hand to scratch him behind the ears. "Mrawwrrr," he cried, stalking right up to the boy and immediately rubbing against his pant leg. "Mrawwwwr..."

[Click for Elfie =3]

So, Landon was being all peaceful and such, trying to figure out when he was going to meet a guy, when something starts meowing at him. His first thought was: what the hell? Why would anyone be meowing at me? Then something began rubbing against his pant leg. Instead of settling on the obvious conclusion, Landon assumed that someone was being insane enough to rub up against his pant leg.

"Bloody hell," he said, "you could just-"

Landon had looked down and realized it was just a cat. How stupid did he feel now? Very, stupid. Landon reached down and scratched the small, fuzzy, white cat's head. She was kind of cute, and Landon wondered if she had an owner. If she didn't, he'd certainly take her in. "What's your name?" he asked the cat. He knew it was a kind of stupid question, seeing as the cat couldn't talk, but whatever, perhaps she'd find a way to tell Landon.

Then Landon stopped looking at the cat and searched around for the person that might own the cute cat. A little ways a way Landon spotted a boy. "Oi!" Landon shouted, "you, over there! Is this your cat?"

Landon picked up the cat and walked over to the boy, setting the cat down. Then he recognized the boy. He had been talking to Chelsea in class. Chelsea had told Landon his name, but he couldn't remember it. Oh, what was it? I... Is... Isin? Something like that. "Your that boy..." Landon said, "Chelsea's friend, Isin or something, right?" Landon stressed the word friend in that sentence. Because he wanted to make sure that that was all he was, a friend. Because that was all he was.

Elfie wound himself around and around the boy's leg, clearly amusing himself with the entertainment of another kid. He was purring loudly, rubbing his head against the boy's calf a couple times. To any cat owner, they would've known to pick him up. Alas, Elfie was left disappointed as the length of his body smooshed against the boy's leg yet again. If he was any normal Muggle cat, he would've given up by now. And if this was any other place, the crazy narrator behind Elfie wouldn't be making him seem human-like. ;]

Isaac barely had the door of the Owlery open before some kid yelled at him. Dear gawd, please don't be Kelly... There was hesitation controlling him as he peered around the giant door. It wasn't Kelly, thank the Lord, but some random boy. Immediately, Isaac's orbs were drawn to a kitten helplessly winding all around the boy's ankles. Before he had time to go to Elfie, though, the other boy had scooped him up and brought him over. Then Elfie was at his feet again.

"Yeah," Isaac managed to say before the boy gave off the sense of recognition. He scooped Elfie into his arms, stroking his fingers along the cat's spine while he directed his attention back to the boy. Whoaa, whoa, whoa. Hold the phone. The kid knew who he was? Now, wasn't that bizarre. Except, he seemed to be struggling over Isaac's name. Maybe he was slow or something...

And then he mentioned Chelsea.

A small smile crossed Isaac's lips. Ah, Landon Pope. At last he was able come face to face with the boy Chelsea had gone with to that one ball. The dance she never bothered to mention. Pope must not have made that fantastic of a date, eh? Too bad, so sad. Yeah, like Isaac was really upset about that. Of course, he had caught the stress on the word 'friend' in Landon's sentence. Hm, was that jealousy he detected? For some reason, Isaac felt a small spark of triumph catch flame in his gut.

"It's Isaac," he corrected Landon with a smile. "Who are you?"
