"Well, I think you're nice, just so you know. We don't date other people unless we all agree on it. That is, me... Brenton, James, Shane- who are brothers-, and Katherine. And Chris, sort of. Have you met Shane yet? He's my favorite, but you can't tell anyone."
"Good idea," Evangeline replied. "I'll help, if you like." She raised an eyebrow at Abigail's next comment. "Thanks. I think you're nice too." It seemed silly to her that a friend would stop another friend going out with someone they loved, or even liked - but she assumed that that situation hadn't arisen yet. In any case, she didn't say it - she didn't want to upset or offend Abigail. "I haven't met Shane yet, no," she said, smiling. "And don't worry, I won't tell a soul." She supposed she should have been offended on Brenton's behalf that Abi didn't like Brenton the best, but it was no problem for Evangeline if she didn't have any competition from the girl. "Do you know when Brenton and Chris will be back?" Evangeline asked.
Mod
She shook her head furiously and gave an outraged screech. "CHRIS IS HERE?!" She squealed, standing up and moving books to frantically peek through their back shelf and gasp. No one was there! "What are you talking about? Brenton is with Chris and they're alone? Why is no one telling me things, like new girlfriends and shady brothers visiting?!" Abigail asked Evangeline, her voice rising in tone, but not volume. She was never a truly loud girl, except for maybe when she laughed. She almost looked as if she was threatening to cry, but she wasn't that mad yet.
Evangeline didn't know what to do - she just felt like bursting out into hysterical laughter at Abigail's exuberance, but held it in through sheer force of will."Calm down, calm down!" Evangeline said, laughing just a little. "Brenton is taking Chris for a tour of the castle. Besides, Chris already walked in on me and Brenton this morning, um..." she stopped, and turned bright red, thinking about what they had been doing precisely when Chris turned up. "Anyway," she said, getting back to the subject. "You don't have to worry, they seem OK for the moment. I did offer to go with Brenton, but he seemed to want to be on his own with Chris for a while. Why else did you think I was so interested in Chris?" she asked, trying to distract Abigail from her near-panic.
Mod
Ugh!!
Abigail shook her head, causing her hair to fly, and sat back down with a huff. "And you know that almost every time they find themselves alone, they get into a fist fight?" She informed Evangeline, furrowing her eyebrows. "Brenton usually looses, too." She said looking down at her dark purple tutu skirt, that paired quite nicely with the black top she wore, making her seem calmer and darker than she really was, but anyone who'd watched her for five minutes knew she did not show these colors.
She huffed again, this time with a pouty face, knowing she was probably freaking Evangeline out right now.
"Oh, dear," Evangeline said, starting to get worried. She noticed that Abigail was starting look worried as well, along with put out and offended, and knelt next to her. "Abby?" she said. "Don't worry about them not telling you. Brenton only got the letter this morning, while I was with him, and Chris turned up about an hour after that."Evangeline sighed, and shifted so she was sitting next to Abigail. "I really hope that they get back soon," she said, trying not to muse over everything that could go wrong. Hopefully Chris would behave himself... and Brenton for that matter. Chris didn't seem that bad to her this morning - a bit arrogant, in a way, and nowhere as nice as Brenton. And of course, after hearing about what he'd done to Brenton, and Kat... In any case, hopefully they could both keep their temper long enough.
Abigail wrote: "((Haha, I shall worry.)) Being so consumed in the book as she was, Abigail not only fail to notice her boyfriend's arrival, but she also overlooked his near presence, sitting just a few chairs ..."
Xavier let his heavy book fall to the table but a loud thump, which was a loud noise in such a quiet environment.. he cocked his head to one side, wearing the cheekiest of grins, directing it at Abigail. He folded his arms and also raised an eyebrow, holding back a hearty laugh. He glance moved from Evangeline and then back to Abigail.
Mod
Abigail was almost starting to cry, hearing Evangeline explain how things went that morning. Well, she guessed they had reasons then, for not telling her. It'd only happened hours ago, and Abigail hadn't seen Brenton yet this morning.
Glancing at Evangeline, she nodded her head slowly, but her pout still stayed on her face. "Well, I hope they come back soon too. No telling where Brenton might lock him in at... He did that to James once, in a Muggle church, because I and my cousins go to there with my aunt, and Brenton locked James in the girls bathroom... James later got into trouble for being in there, because it wasn't very 'pure' of him." She said, nodding.
"How long have you and Brenton know- Xavier!" Abigail squealed as a thump hit the table she was just sitting at a while ago. Xavier, looking just as handsome as he was when she lost him earlier that day. She jumped up and laughed. "Come meet Brenton's girlfriend!!!"
Xavier shook his head and stood up, making his way over to Abigail. He didn't care about Brenton and he certainly didn't care about his girlfriend, all he could think about were those precious hours he had wasted without Abigail is his arms. He gently took her by the waist, pulled her backward - whilst supporting her back - and let her body fall gently into his arms while the balls of her feet balanced her as Abigail's body tipped backwards. He stared her in the eyes and whispered ''I missed you'' he grinned cheekily, planting a loving kiss on her lips.((Oh, don't we all ;) ))
Mod
She blushed wildly as she realized Evangeline was right here in front of them, and she pulled away faster from Xavier's kiss than she would've otherwise, hating herself a little. "Evangeline, this is my boyfriend, Xavier. He's friendly." She said, throwing her an apologizing look. She was all for public display affection, but not in front of near strangers. She didn't want Evangeline thinking she was some trollop.
She still stayed in Xavier's arms though, nestling her head on his chest, loving every second with a bright big smile on her face. Just from the look of them, one would know they were meant for each other despite the coolness Xavier seemed to exhibit compared to Abigail's extrovert bubblyness.
Xavier held her close, knowing that she was a humble girl and only pulled away for the right intentions. But he couldn't help but feel like Abigail was hiding from him, hidden away in the library.. and earlier, did she already know he was there but chose to ignore him? Surely she must know that he didn't mean to lose her on the stairs. Was she mad at him? ''I'm sorry'' he whispered in her ear, still holding her by the waist lovingly but almost half heartedly.
Mod
((Becca! :D Come soon!))
Xavier shook his head ''No, you didn't..'' but he smiled to Evangeline anyway ''Hey, sorry but would you mind if I steal her for just a few minutes? Thanks'' he winked at her then slowly pulled Abigail backwards by the waist ''I need to talk to you about something'' he whispered in her ear, her strength was nothing compared to his so it was simply too easy to pull her back - although he did this with care.
(( :D I'm here now))Evangeline giggled helplessly at Xavier's carrying on and Abigail's chatter. She held her hand out for Xavier to shake, which was a little awkward around Abigail. "Nice to meet you, Xavier," she said politely. She paused awkwardly for a moment. "Um, yeah, sure you can take her..." She said, really hoping Brenton would be back soon- Xavier and Abigail together were making her miss him even more.
Mod
Abigail was pulled away anyway, and she hoped Evangeline wouldn't feel bad for them leaving. She was becoming worried: Brenton and Chris, Evangeline, Katherine, and now Xavier needed to talk to her?
She turned on him, and wrapped her arms around his neck when they were alone, lifting to her tippy toes, so she was only a few inches away from his face, and just a few more inches shorter.
"What's wrong? Are we okay?" Abigail asked, her worry clear in her voice. They were just getting back to being wonderful with each other! Had she done something to ruin that?
Xavier let her go, so she was left a few inches away from him. He turned to look at Evangeline but she seemed to be looking upset ''You tell me if things are okay between us.. look I didn't know the stairs would do that, just why were you hiding in the library? and then you didn't even see me? I sat two chairs away from you!'' he looked genuinely hurt. He wasn't even sure why he was overreacting so much, all he knew was he wanted to know what was wrong. ''I'm sorry I pulled you away, I'll go apologize..'' he said stiffly, beginning to walk away.
Evangeline bit her lip as Abigail was pulled away, and moved over to sit on a comfy red armchair a little way away from the shelves. She hoped the red-haired girl was OK - Evangeline decided she'd try and check up on her later. As she'd sat down she heard a little crinkling sound, and quickly pulled Brenton's parchment out of her pocket. Tears came to her eyes as she read it again, so she just say there, holding it, waiting for Brenton to arrive.
Mod
((Becca, you wanna RP with my different charrie, or what's the plan?))
((Hehe, I don't have a plan, I barely know what's going on :D. Sorry, you lead and I'll follow, I don't mind. :) ))
Xavier cumpled his face, yet again had he jumped to the wrong conclusions. Why did he do this to their relationship? Surely he can't still be scared? The only thing that scared him was Abigail leaving, or was he just being dramatic? He caused enough drama for today, instead he just sighed, shook his head and squeezed her tight. ''I'm so sorry'' he whispered ''I always do this.. I didn't meant to accuse you, I just- I thought- I don't even know what I thought, I'm sorry..'' he mumbled into her hair ''I'm sorry I didn't notice you were crying, he wiped an invisible tear from under her eye and kissed her forehead, holding her close.
Mod
Evangeline looked over at where Abby and Xavier were standing, saw them wrapped in a tight embrace, and pointedly looked away.
Mod
"It's absolutely, perfectly wonderfully okay, Xavier. What were we even going to do?" She asked him, finding it funny that she couldn't remember. "Whatever it was, we can continue, or we can go... Somewhere private?" Abigail said, shrugging slightly and playing with the hair at the back of his neck. "Either way, we'll have to apologize to Evangeline. She's scared right now."
Evangeline saw the two of them start to head over, and carefully folded her parchment away in her pocket - perhaps if was silly, but she didn't want anyone else to see it just yet.
Abigail wrote: "Abigail kissed him warmly, giggling at his affection. He was so cute, and she knew she was lucky to have him, even if he was worried at the moment. "It's absolutely, perfectly wonderfully okay, Xa..."
Xavier kissed her cheeks, holding her hand as they both strode over to Evangeline ''I'm so sorry, I just wanted to check something with Abigail'' he smiled, holding out his hand again to finish off their handshake but instead the parchment in her hand stole his attention. He glanced at her expression and she look pretty shaken up ''Are you alright?'' he raised an eyebrow, thinking that whatever was on that partchment had upset her.
Evangeline looked up, surprised as Xavier asked her if she was all right. "Yes, I'm all right, thank you," she replied, smiling a little. "I'm just worried about Brenton."
Mod
Evangeline laughed. "Oh, don't worry, you guys. I was hardly crying anyway. I'm just being silly - I'm worried about Brenton with Chris, especially after you," she indicated Abigail, "told me exactly what the situation was with them." She looked up and saw Abby looked upset. Evangeline stood up, and hesitantly hugged her. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. If you two want to go, I'll be fine by myself until Brenton gets back," she said, smiling into Abby's red hair, and then stepping back.
Amy finished her book. she stared out the window
((Hey, Abby and Bam, being forced to go for a bike ride and a swim :'( but hopefully (emphasis on hopefully) I'll be back in around an hour - hour and a half. Sorry!))
((Hey!))Xavier smiled awkwardly as he went and sat on the chair next to the one Evangeline was sitting on ''Who is this Brenton?'' he raised an eyebrow ''Could you fill me in?'' he chuckled, looking directly at Abigail.
((Hi Bam :) I have been back for a while, but I just thought we'd wait for Abigail to get back before we continued - hope that's OK))
Mod
Abigail rolled her eyes. She'd never really brought up Brenton. Just Shane or James and she could remember how jealous Xavier had gotten over them. She'd never meant not to tell Xavier about Brenton, but maybe her mind had just unconsciously chosen not to.
She didn't know.
"Brenton grew up with me and Katherine and the boys. I'm not sure why I hadn't brought him up before, but he'd not always been here like the boys." She told him, bouncing up and down slightly as she spoke, her hair bouncing brightly. "Evangeline is his newly found love." She said, smiling proudly, as if Evangeline was her own girlfriend.
"And now they are!" She squeaked, bouncing higher with her arms thrown over her head to get the now entering Chris and Brenton.
Chris smiled slightly after Brenton had gotten done telling him some of the riddles that the Ravenclaw Riddler had tossed him and their fellow Ravenclaws. Things had gone... Unusually well, and Brenton was even laughing lightly.
Glancing up, Chris only saw flashes of bright red hair, of which he quickly mistook for fire, and smiled all the larger, picking up the pace of his walk to get to Abigail quickly and pick the small girl up, spinning her giggling self around a few times before sitting her down and laugh. "You never grew." He said.
Brenton came after him, waving slightly at Xavier, recognizing him as that boy that Abigail was always with before he sat down by Evangeline, taking her hand in his.
Evangeline put a hand to her mouth to hide her smiles as Abigail bounced proudly up and down. Her smile became more pronounced at the phrase "newly found love".She spun around at Abigal's comment to see Chris and Brenton. It took all her self control not to rush over to him and check he didn't have any new bruises or anything. She raised her eyebrows slightly as Chris took a couple of long strides towards Abigail, picking her up and spinning her around in a way that was so familiar and almost... sweet. But she forgot about that as she felt Brenton sit down beside her and encircle her hand in his.
Evangeline turned and kissed him on the cheek. "How did it go?" she asked softly, not wanting Chris to hear her, and trying not to let Brenton know through her voice how worried about him she'd been.
Becca wrote: "((Hi Bam :) I have been back for a while, but I just thought we'd wait for Abigail to get back before we continued - hope that's OK))"((Yeah! Sorry I was away so I only just saw that message))
Xavier waved back to Brenton hesitantly, assuming that he was one of the boys that Abigail knew. He walked over to Abigail and hugged her from behind, gently whispering in her ear ''Hey, I can always wait for you downstairs if you like? I feel like I'm intruding'' he bit his lip, wanting to be with her but also feeling like he was in the way.
Mod
Chris smiled and held out a hand to shake Xaviers. "I'm Chris. Long lost friend."
Brenton smiled and nodded to Evangeline. "It went well. Thank you for waiting for me." He grinned at her lovingly.
Amy watched them for a minute before turning back to her book.
Xavier grinned and unwrapped his arms from Abigails waist ''Nice to meet you, I've heard about you before'' he smiled ''Any friend of Abigail's is a friend of mine'' he winked at Chris cheekily before turning to a girl sat reading in the library whom was previously watching them.
Amy turned the page, oblivious to him.
Evangeline grinned back at Brenton. "I'm glad," she said. "Well what do you want to do now?" She asked.
Xavier kissed Abigail on the cheek and reached down to hold her hand ''Hey, do you know that girl? She was looking over here, I just wondered'' he whispered within earshot of Evangeline and Abigail but not to Amy.
Amys eyes lit up at something in the book.
Evangeline heard Xavier's comment and looked over at the girl in the arm chair. She met Xavier's eye and shook her head - she'd never seen the girl before now - and then turned back to Brenton, waiting for him to decide what he wanted to do.
Amy brushed back her hair, revealing her pale complexion.
Xavier watched the girl ''I don't want this to sound weird but I'm sure I've seen her before'' he mumbled into Abigail's ear. If Evangeline hadn't seen her then she must be in his house ''What house are you in, Evangeline?'' he asked, raising his eyebrow curiously.
Amy looked up and saw them staring at her. She waved awkwardly.
Xavier smiled at her uncomfortable back yeah.. definitely don't know her.. he thought to himself.
Amy blushed uncomfortablely. Xavier was there.... The one who had glared at her when her wolf had fell in the lake.
"I thought Kat was pretty cool," Evangeline told her. "I mean, a little distracted-ish, a times, but yes, amazing. And it's really nice of her to check your homework." Evangeline blinked as one of the twinkly lights flashed in her eyes, and giggled again. "What are you going to do now?" she asked.
