A Bad Day ((Anyone))

[mongaj]

The sun peered softly from behind a large fluffy cloud. The whether was fair, not too hot nor cold. It was a nice day actually, but for Landon, it had been a day he wished had never happened.

At breakfast, he was in such a rush to make it to class on time, and he spilled lemon soda all over his class robes. Forced to go to class wet, he had to sit through three lessons with the smell of citrus flooding his nostrils. To top it off, he had forgot to get his Charms homework from his desk, and after being granted permission to go to his room and get it, he found it ruined by a bottle of ink that was knocked over from the wind that entered through his open window.

Later, getting much worse, he got into a fight with his sister Lexie who insisted that he was spying on her as he walked past to see her and her boyfriend kissing in an abandoned corridor. He had only been searching for her to ask if there was anything she wanted to say in a letter he was writing to his uncle. Not allowing him to explain himself, Lexie shared a few choice words and then stormed off angry.

Walking by himself, Landon neared a bench that was sitting in front of an odd looking fountain. It appeared to be troll who was sleeping. The water was sprouting from its mouth and surrounded its body so that only its large stomach and its face were above water level. Not taking much interest in the unique sculpture, Landon sat down and buried his hands in his head.

He hadn't eaten since breakfast, and his stomach was gurgling loudly, but he didn't take any notice to it. Instead, he remained face down, basking in his misery. He heard someone approaching, but failed to look up, unconcerned with who it might be. Then, the person stopped, and Landon recognized the shoes as Lexie's. "Come to apologize?" he snapped, finally taking the effort to see more than just her shoes. Realizing his mistake, Landon's face turned an instant tomato color as he starred at a girl who he didn't recognize. "Oh, uh... sorry," he stammered, "thought you were someone else." The day only got worse.

Sitting in one of the many comfy plump seats Mel only half watching what was going on around her. She had been a little distraught all week, she had found out her aunt was getting married but that wasn't the problem. The problem was that her aunt had known this man for three months and they have been dating for only two. It was a little fast and she thought this quit strange even for her aunt because she always took her time and made sure everything was perfect before taking the next step. Ever since her aunt had met this man and moved to Australia it was as though Mel didn't now her anymore and it scared her. Her aunt was always the one that Mel went to with problems and it was as though she was trying to leave her life.

With this thought she decided that it was time to get some fresh air and clear her head. Shivering slightly because she was used to the warmth of the fire Mel walked slowly out of the common room and put a fake smile on so that now one questioned her about what was wrong. She didn't mind if people cared about why she was upset but she wasn't the type of person to talk to people about her problems with people. She was the type that usually kept it bottled in until one of her close friends dragged it out of her. This usually made her feel better after she talked about it.

As she walked out of the common room she watched as a few first years raced each other and almost looked as though they were playing a muggle game called tag. Waiting until they were out of her way Mel continued walking down the hall and waved at her friend Derrick who gave her an amused glance. Walking slightly faster so she would not have to talk to him she silently made a mental note to talk to Derrick and ask him what was so funny.

Walking out of the big doors that lead to the courtyard she truly smiled because it was actually a beautiful day out. Walking down a random path Mel admired the beauty of the flowers and the whole environment. She loved to come to the courtyard it always made her forget her troubles. Walking over by her normal spot that she usually sat she saw a boy sitting down with his head in his hands. Approaching him she was about to say hi when he snapped at her. Raising an eyebrow slightly she replied after he apologized "No, no that is quite alright. I am Mel by the way." Waiting for him to reply she sat on the other side of the bench.

That was smooth, Landon thought sarcastically to himself. He hated impolite people, and he had just acted very rude toward a girl he barely knew. The one thing he did know was that she was in his house. A few years younger if his memory served him correctly. Even if it would have been Lexie standing there, did he really have the right to act so snappy? Of course he did... right? Shaking off his thoughts, he thought it appropriate to at least give the girl a proper introduction and try apologizing again for his nasty behavior.

She had sat down beside him. That had to be a sign that she wasn't too upset. "I'm sorry again," he offered apologetically. "Even if I did think you were someone else, I didn't have the right to be so rash." You did too! his thoughts screamed out in his head. Lexie deserved to be put in her place. Again, trying to push the issue of his sister out of his mind, he forced a half-smile and offered his hand for the girl to shake. "Even though we are in the same house, I don't think we have properly met before. I'm Landon Campari. It is nice to meet you... " he stopped, assuming the girl would reciprocate his response with her name. Even if he was in a horrible mood, Landon was not going to be rude. His forced smile remained on his face as he looked at the girl. She had done nothing wrong to him, and he would do his best to push his negative thoughts out of his mind, and prove to be good company.
