louder!

[.magnarock.]

[the second day back, or something along those lines. In the evenings]

A group of excited first fourth years [that were as mature as first years] rushed into the common room in a great flurry, tripping over each other and their words in the haste as they spoke with barely contained whispers amongst themselves.
"Ohhmygod have you heard the news!?"
"I know!"
"I can't believe it!"
"Apparently it's a bunch of lies though."
"Well, it was only vague."
"-And the media is very ambiguous."
"Yah."
"-But still!"
"Ohmygod if it was true!"
The group let out a squeal of ecitement and left for their dormitories.

Over in a corner new the window, Sophia, Tenuka, Meally and Frances were sitting quietly doing homework in the studious manner that first years do.

Tobi, Elsie and Donna were pouring over the lates 'Vague' and 'Voodoodolly' magazines and marvelling at the new looks; this year including even tighter fitted robes, designer label hats that cost almost as much as a good broomstick and various other unescessary accesories for witches and their familiars. They paused every now and again to glare daggers across the common room at the backstabber. aka Charles, who seemed to be more interested in what 'that Kyli bitch' Cenizo and Kik where doing.
"Let her have him- he's soh un-co-ordinated." Tobi muttered, reassuring Elsie who had made an even nastier comment about Kyli.
She pouted and turned the page. "Still, he always seems to be happy enough to sit with us when Dye-in-denial's there."
"Duh, even Kickers could work out that one." Tobi said and they laughed.
Clearly they had gotten together over the holidays and put their pretty little brains to work to come up with those gems of nicknames.


[can you work em all out?]

[cenizobelle]

[kickers is kik and dye-in denial is . . . Sei??]

[.magnarock.]

[yuppens! now reply properly!]

[cenizobelle]

[how! i have nooooone!!!]

[.magnarock.]

[cenizo? Donna?]

[.magnarock.]

[sei's in the dorms btw]

[mely]

Kyli tugged the end of her sleeves. Sei had been in the dorms for a good - she checked her watch - seven minutes thirty three seconds. Surely that was enough alone-time?

She stood up, letting the pile of homework that she'd created on her lap as an excuse to ignore the way Elsie kept glaring at her fall to the floor is a magnificent flurry. Stepping over a battered potions text book, she moved to the stairs, accidently colliding with Charles. She continued on, without giving or waiting for an apology.
'what's he doing there? Doesn't he have some new outrageous fashion scandal to be disscussing with Elsie's little gang?'
The voice in her head was stubbornly silent, and she had no wish to supply herself with an answer. She was going to see Sei.
Up the stairs, up, up. Over to that door. Give one knock.
She waited for a reply.

[.magnarock.]

Sei heard the nock on the door from his place under the covers, face burried in a pillow, freshly watered with tears. Freezing, not moving in case a rustle was made, he waited for the person to leave.

[Tessiec]

Kik had absent mindly got up to get something when she overheard "kickers" she looked pitifully at them. 'Poor people...' she yawned "I am tired" she announced" she looked for seomthing to do and saw Charlsies. "Hry Charlsies" she bounced over "wanna play a game? I'mbored and Kyli has gone so you have no excuse" she added the last part hastily

[mely]

"sei!" Kyli called, "sei! Are you iiiiiiiiin there???" she gave another knock. No reply. hmmm. Surely he'd had enough sulk time. "Well I'm coming in now anyway" she called out, cheerily pushing the dor open.
