"What should I write today?" (anyone)

[kristian]

Mikayla walked down the stairs notebook and pen in hand ready to do some writing. Mikayla always went outside at least once a day to write down thoughts, dreams, wishes , and whatever else was on her mind. It was a beautiful snowy day outside so she decided she would get up and go out and do some writing. Mikayla, finally got out to the courtyard. She decided to go sit by a willow tree. So she could observe the people around her.

Mikayla sat opened her journal and began to write. She wrote about the dream she had first and then decided to stop and just look around. She wasn't particularly interested in the writing at the moment. But was more interested in the activities of the people around her. For some reason she had a feeling something big was going to happen. She didn't know why it was just a feeling of sudden curiosity that did it. She had never really taken the time to notice how the people act, and do things. They were all in groups. Gryffindores, Slytherins, Ravenclaws, and Hufflepuffs. There were only a few that were mixed around.

[Cougar Farmer R7]

Cougar Walked from the Great Hall to the Grounds. He was full, and ready to sit and enjoy the sun. As he walked he noticed that there was a few people here and there, but there wasn't that many people over all. You could easily see what everyone was doing if you watched. Cougar saw some Ravenclaws grouped, and he thought of joining them until he saw a girl sitting by a willow. She looked like she was working on some work. Cougar remembered how when he was a first year he didn't like to do work because it seemed hard. He figured he could help this girl. He walked over to her, and smiled gently, still keeping his "cool" look. "You need some help?" Cougar asked the girl. He wondered what class she was working on. "I can help you if you like only Potions catches me in a knot every now and then."

As Mikayla was watching the people around she noticed a boy. He was older than her. She saw him look over at the other Ravenclaw group.She new for sure he would walk over there and join in but he didn't instead he looked at her. Mikayla quickly looked down trying to avoid the awkwardness of making eye contact. He started walking toward her. "Oh no.."

Mikayla muttered quietly to herself. She was really shy, and not sure if she was ready to talk to a boy. "Thanks for your offer, but I'm just observing right now.." Mikayla said sweetly. Mikayla closed her notebook and held it tightly.

[kaddy]

Danielle walked toward the courtyard. After her little accident out on the grounds she wasn't too eager to go back. She loved snow but hated the cold. Walking outside she thought she saw Mikayla sitting by a tree. Danielle wasn't really a outdoor person so she didn't know what type it was. Walking over she saw a boy talking to her. He looked like a third or fourth year. Standing next to him she smiled.

"Hey Mikayla. Hey uh..." she looked at him again and bit her lip. "older kid I don't know. I'm Danielle first year Gryffindor." Stepping away a few steps foreward she held out her hand. "Pleasure to meet you."

[kristian]

Mikayla couldn't help but to laugh at Danielle she was so goofy.Mikayla thought it was hilarious for some reason. "Well, I feel so loved today!" Mikayla said jokingly. "How about ya'll both sit down here..." Mikayla said gesturing beside her on the ground. "We can just talk." "Sorry, about being so cold toward you.." "Sorry I didn't catch your name.." She said gesturing to the boy. "Well, I'm Mikayla, I'm a Ravenclaw 1st year. "So, Danielle what are up to?"

[kaddy]

"Nothing really," Danielle said crouching down. "just being my usual cool self." she laughed. She thought about things to talk about. "Hey Mikayla are you going home for Christmas?"

[kristian]

Mikayla laughed at the comment about the "cool self." "No, I'm not going home for Christmas..." Mikayla said trying to sound ok about it. "My parents and I don't get along." Mikayla said holding in her little tear that was developing in her right eye. "But.. What about you?" Mikayla said changing the subject.

[kaddy]

"Well, I know I'm going home. I mean I can't miss all of the presents." she said. Just then she had a great idea, Mikayla could go to her house for Christmas. "Hey do you think that you could go to my house for Christmas?" she asked leaning back on her heels.

[kristian]

"That would be awesome!" Mikayla said so excited she could just die. "I'm sure my parents wouldn't care." Mikayla said thinking. "What are your parents like? "How many siblings do you have?" "Do you have any other pets besides Kitty?"

[kaddy]

"Uh wait a second." Danielle said trying to think. "Well I have one older brother James, he's in his sixth year. As for pets we have Kitty, my brothers owl and a puppy. Oh and a hamster too she's mine her name is Charcoal." She finished smiling.

[kristian]

Mikayla started giggling she could tell Danielle was a bit overwhelmed at all the questions. "Oh wicked!" "Do you think they would like me..." "I wouldn't want to impose either." Mikayla said realizing that she might be busting in on their holiday plans. "I want you to make sure that they don't mind before i go because I don't want to walk in your house and them be disappointed."

Mikayla really didn't like to impose on plans, or invite herself to places. Unlike her parents. They would impose on anything, or invite themselves anywhere. Mikayla looked toward the sky. "The dawn over the clouds... As I listen to the sounds... Of the people all walking and talking... As their busy schedules roam ..." Mikayla said opening her notebook back up and writing the stanza down. "Oh, sorry I have been trying to find some more lines to add to the first stanza of this poem I am writing. Mikayla then looked back at Danielle hoping she wasn't looking at her like a crazy person. "Sorry I kind of blurted that out of nowhere. "It kind of just came to me and I wanted to see what it sounded like when you read it aloud.

[kaddy]

"They won't mind." Danielle assured her. "Well they shouldn't anyway James does it all the time. And besides you could help me make a snowman! I've never been able to make one yet. My fingers always get numb before I get to the second part." Laughing she turned to the older student. " So... do you normaly talk? Or is just you don't want to talk about girl stuff? 'Cause we could talk about other things. But before we do that I have a very important question to ask you. What's your name?" She stared at him he hadn't said a thing the entire time she had been there. How odd, she thought to herself you'd think that he would've said something by now. Oh well. She shrugged her shoulders and laughed silently, if he didn't want to talk she couldn't force him at least she had tried.

[kristian]

"Ok, as long as you at least think they wont mind." Mikayla said hesitantly. Mikayla looked over into the stream that flowed right behind the willow tree. I've never been able to make a snowman either I don't have any siblings so its hard to try to make one because with just one person doing all the snowman making at the end of it all you don't have a snowman just purple fingers." Mikayla said remembering a time when she had tried it by herself, and the next day she was lying in her bed sneezing with a cold.

Mikayla laughed at that memory. She then looked over at Danielle listening attentively to her. Mikayla looked over at the boy, he really didn't talk much. She smiled at him flirtfully and and looked back over to Danielle hoping to see how he would respond. Mikayla was smiling so large in her mind she couldn't believe she just flirted with a boy. And with that Mikayla let out a little laugh and waited for a response from either of them.
