Please Do Disturb ((anyone))

[Aline Le' Fountenelle S4]

Aline grabbed her swimsuit and left for the lake. She had a long stressful day. Why can't things be simple? I was taught to be quiet. I am not stuck up Aline reassured herself. Many peers had tried to talk to her that day, but, as some may know, she didn't speak a word. Teachers didn't really like this either.

She changed into the suit and it seemed as though in no time at all, she was by the cool waters.

"A relaxing swim. That's all it will take. Maybe I can try to fall asleep while floating on top," Aline said to no one in particular.

Suddenly Aline heard footsteps, and her heart was clearly beating faster. After all, she could hear it in her ears.

"Oh, is that so?" A voice said from an unidentifiable direction.

All I wanted was to be alone, and now, when no one's around, I am practically ambushed. I better run while I still can. Aline thought.

Slowly, she stepped out of the water, but then she remembered something. When would she get a chance like this again? Not for a very long time. Though her heart raced, she went back into the water and dived under. She quested to the center of the lake and finally needed a breath. Slowly, she came up, unsure, and relievedly took a breath. Then something grabbed her foot from under water.

[Ashanya Alford R3]

Ashanya tossed and turned in her bed. The thought of sleep teased at her numb brain as she switched her position for yet another time, still not any closer to sleep. At the moment seemed that though it was two-thirty in the morning, she wasn’t in any mood for sleep. 'Is this Insomnia', stroke in her mind. Probably yes, because since last week, she never had a sound sleep.

Finally giving up hope, Ashanya sat up in her bed and looked around the room. One corner was dark and the other was dimly lit by candles and lanterns. What didn't let her sleep, she thought. Perhaps, the heart wrenching incidence of Blind date party.
But, the devil makes work for idle hands. She didn't wanna create a scene, so she tried to sleep.
Tring.....tring.....a familiar sound came from her left side. It was her alarm clock, who was trying to make her awake. It was six o'clock in morning. It was a bit early for her, but who cares? She yawned. How she felt asleep last night? But, it was not her cup of tea. She wanted to take at least a nap only, that she got. That's it!

It took two hours to her for being fresh & dressed up. She was slight dreary. That was the reason. She wanted to go for a 'relaxed' swim. But damn it, it was too early for that. Though day didn't seem too cold. Looking to her book, indifference, she felt no enjoyment in her life these days. It was only because of lack of good friends. God knows what is gonna happen in her life. She kept on studying.
It was approximatly ten when she closed her book. Ashanya glanced at the window. It was a bright day. Breathing evenly out of her nose as she stilled her rising irritation, she crossed her legs and arms and leaned back into the bench kept near the window, forcing her shoulders to relax. She was too tense. Perhaps, fed up with boredom.

Was it a good idea for a swim? Yes, that is what she wanted that time. She quickly took her swimsuit & ran toward the lake. She felt happy when she found some students swimming there. Without waisting a moment, she jumped into the lake. Who doesn't wanna make the stress lag behind? How much pleasure she was feeling in luke warm water, she couldn't explained.
She found a stature swimming. It was a tall & graceful girl in swimsuit, perhaps of her age. A 'sweet' mischief stroke in her mind. I should be her friend, she thought. So she decided to start their friendship in different way.
She took a deep breath & swam into depth to 'shape' her idea. To make her feel scared, she grabbed that girl's foot & then came out to the top. Ashanya grinned & wished her a sweet hello.

Aline's heart skipped a beat. But then she saw a beautiful girl, probably year 3. By the looks of her, a Ravenclaw. Aline was sure she was about to loose it, but she pushed herself at the last minute. "I must admit, that was pretty good, but not good enough for me. Bonjour, je suis Aline et très bientôt vous serez attrapés de la garde." She stuck her hand out, and the girl took it. Aline used all of her strength to torpedo the girl back down into the lake, and when she did not come back up, she began to get worried. And so she began looking for Ashanya Alford.

[Marie-Rose Delarue G4]

Ah dawn, the most relaxing time of day. Already awake, since she is an morning person, Marie-Rose went out to the lake side with a note-book and pencil, a sketch-book and colored pencils, and a book. She sat down on a rock about five feet from the water and started to sketch the lake. About an hour or two later, she was almost done with her sketch when she faintly heard some uttered French. Curiosity gets the best of Marie-Rose easily, so without thinking, she jumped into the lake to try and find who it was that also spoke French at this school.

She got about half way to the French speaking person when she could barely make out that it was Aline Le' Fountenelle, a girl she met at summer camp a few years ago. Wanting to say Bonjour (Hello) to an old friend, Marie-Rose started to swim faster until she swam right into her.

I stood up and said,"Bonjour. Il est est Marie-Rose Delarue. Nous nous sommes rencontrés au camp d'été il y a quelques années. (Hello. It's Marie-Rose Delarue. We met at summer camp a few years ago.) I thought I was the only one at this school who spoke any French at all." The entire time I was thinking Gosh I hope she still remembers me.

[Ashanya Alford R3]

That gorgeous girl introduced herself as Aline. It seemed that she knew French very well, perhaps she was French. For Ashanya, French was not as easy as ABC. She recalled her French classes which she took five years back but only for a week. When she recognized how tough the French was, she just abandoned it. But, in one week, she learned how to introduce yourself in French. That is why she got what Aline was saying.

Splashhhh........& Ashanya was shoved by that 'new friend' into the lake. That happened so quickly that she didn't get it. Thanks to God she knew swimming very well. After all she had won many prizes in it! Then how it was possible for her to get drowned?
I'm not gonna leave her so easily, she thought. She tried to scare her. So she didn't come up approximately for half a minute. Then she dragged Aline too into deep water & herself come up & said," je suis Ashanya. How was that?" Then laughed.

[Marie-Rose Delarue G4]

I must have knocked into that girl Aline was talking to because when I looked around, she wasn't there. All the sudden, someone grabbed my ankle and pulled me under. When we came up, she introduced herself in French, apparently her name is Ashanya, and asked how it was. She looked like a year three Ravenclaw. Wiping the water from my eyes I said, "Good, if you've only taken one week of French. By the way, if you were trying to grab Aline's foot, you got the wrong one." With that I gave her a cocky smirk. Then I added, "I'm Marie-Rose Delarue. I met Aline at a summer camp a few years ago. I'm saying this in English because you wouldn't understand if I said it in French. This has been exciting; however, I would much rather work on my sketch since I've already finished catching up with Aline. Bye."

When I got back on solid land, I grabbed my things and went back to my room to get out of these wet clothes.

[Aline Le' Fountenelle S4]

Aline heard the French in a very familiar voice. Of course, she thought, I would know that voice anywhere.

"Est Marie-monté Delarue... Je me souviens de vous tout à fait typiquement. Nous nous sommes rencontrés au camp 'le Ciel et l'Enfer', comme je me l'appelle au moins, quelques années en arrière, pas ? (Marie-Rose Delarue... I remember you quite distinctively. We met at camp "Heaven and Hell", as I call it at least, a few years back, no?) But as quickly as Marie-Rose came, she disappeared.
