Getting My Mind Of Things

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby stormed to the lake with so much angry in her veins. She sat on a log and gave a loud fed up sigh. "Boys think they can do whatever they want...Boys think girls are weak." She said to herself aloud. She took a deep breath...she needed to relax for once in her life...But her dad stayed well aware that she didn't have so much fun. She stood up and walked near the lake and then stopped. She closed her eyes and let herself fall into the freezing lake...She ended up not resurfacing.

[Kira Rose]

Kira walked out to the lake, she wasn't wearing her usual bangles and her silver necklace was plain and bare. She sat down on the beach not far from Ruby but she didn't say anything. She just stared out over the lake and let out a sigh.

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby noticed Kira and took a deep breath. She almost said hi but she walked over to the lake before she could say anything. She closed her eyes and made herself fall into the lake.

[Professor Cerelia Trelawney]

Professor Cerelia silently walked to the lake. She had hoped no one was there but instead found Kira. "Hello" she said to Kira

[Kira Rose]

Kira heard a splash and looked over to where Ruby had been only seconds before. She stood up and ran to the spot watching the water. "Ruby?" she asked hoping she was only messing around, she waited for her to resurface. "Oh, hi professor." she said trying to sound casual.

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby came back to shore and sat on her log again. She noticed the Professor at the lake...It was Ryan's division professor. She looked back at Kira. "I'm okay....dont worry." She finish with a smile...That was just what Ruby needed...to relax once in awhile.

[Professor Cerelia Trelawney]

"Hello Ruby" She politely said. "Did you enjoy your swim in the lake?"

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby looked at the professor. "When I first went in here it was freezing...But now I've been in there more than once...It's not that cold". She told the professor not bothering to talk a breath during her sentence.

[Kira Rose]

Kira smiled, "I thought you were going crazy there for a second." she teased with a laugh sitting back down.

[Professor Cerelia Trelawney]

"Well if you go in again all I ask is that you watch out for the Giant Squid" She said. "I'm sure Kira nows a lot about that subject"

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby shrugged. "I'm not afraid of that squid." She told the Professor with a smile. She looked at Kira. "I'll go crazy if you want." She told her while pinning her down to the ground softly so she didn't hurt her burn.

[Kira Rose]

"Yeah, I've had more than one run in with that...thing." Kira laughed and rolled over pinning her down instead. "Ha, pinned ya." she shouted proud of herself for countering it.

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby noticed she was pinned down now. She reversed it from Kira pinning her from her pinning Kira again but this time harder. "No....I pinned you...Again." She laughed. She ended up seeing a black owl pass by and peck her hardly. "I know...But let me have some fun." She said to the black owl...That was her dads owl...It would come if she was having fun.

[Ryan Redmond]

Ryan trudged towards the lake. Well, actually, he hobbled. He was in a foul mood, and didn't want to talk to Ruby. Kira, he did want to talk to, however. He harbored an affection for fer that went beyond friendship, although he had never acted on it, as she was in a relationship with a friend of his. He couldn't, and wouldn't do that to either of them; he had at least that much respect for her. He waved to Kira and sat down near the two of them, but stayed silent.

[Kira Rose]

"Not for long.." she laughed and struggled to move, she noticed the black owl. "I'll hex it for ya if you want." she said looking down at her wand which had fallen out of her pocket. "Oh hey Ryan!" she called in her pinned possition.

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby noticed Ryan come to the lake she had Kira pinned still and she was having so much fun than she ever had before. She let go off Kira and shooded the owl away from her since it's pecking was shark for a young owl. "Hey Ryan." She said kinda down after what she did. Her feelings of fun had vanished again.

[Ryan Redmond]

"Having fun?" Ryan asked her idly. His voice was smooth and clear of any tension he had felt only moments ago. He was puzzled by Ruby's behavior, and it was that which had caused him to lash out at her. He still felt she deserved it, as he did not do anything to purposley hurt her.

[Kira Rose]

Kira sat up and rubbed her head. "Yay,... Im free." she teased, watching the owl get shooed away. She took her wand and seriously felt like jinxing it, but desided other wise.

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby got up and dusted herself from sand that was on her clothes. "I'm sorry." She told Ryan trying to look at him. "I have had the worst year so far since my dad is forcing me to do things I dont want...One of my sisters are in Hospital and I dont know why and my brother has left town." She told him her voice having less fun it by the second. She paused. "And having you calling me a cheater isn't the best thing to say while I was just reading a book. She finished with a small smile. Ruby heard Kira. " Not for long". She teased.

[Ryan Redmond]

"It's okay." Ryan said, thinking. She was pissed at her dad and taking it out on him, the nearest male. Typical, he thought, but refrained from saying so. "That's gotta be tough," he said instead, looking down at the sand.

((when did I call you a cheater? I was just kidding about that when I said you're copying me. I meant you were copying as in doing what I was doing, as in mimicking.))

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby shrugged. "Yeah...But to be truthful I would rather have fun then think about him". She replied while looking back at Kira. "Now for my revenge." She teased while pinning her again.

[Kira Rose]

Kira who had been to busy listening to their conversation didn't see the pin coming. Kira laughed as she got pinned, struggling to move, but finally tripping her with her foot, the turning to pin her. "Ha! pinned ya again." she said grinning. She took a second to toss her wand to the side, she didn't want it breaking in her pocket.

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby sighed. "Again...Wrong move Kira". She laughed while pinning Kira for the fourth time. She noticed Ryan wasn't doing much but she carried on having fun. She looked still having Kira pinned. "No black owls...good." She said before pinning Kira even harder.

[Josh]

After many days staying cooped up in the castle, Josh finally decided to open the giant doors and breathe the fresh air. There, in the distance, he saw the outline of his friends whom he hadn't seen in a few days. He squinted and the forms came into focus. He grinned and began running awkwardly over to him, his bag on his shoulder forcing him to sway slightly as he ran. "Hey," he greeted Ryan and Ruby. "Kira!" he exclaimed excitedly, this being the first time he had seen her since she returned. He smiled at the three and dropped his bag at his feet.

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby noticed Josh. "Hey Josh." She replied with Kira who was STILL pinned down. She gave a small laugh as Kira struggled to break free.

[Ryan Redmond]

"Play nice, girls." Ryan said with a smile, as if he were instructing five year olds. "Oh, hey Josh." Ryan said, seeing him approach their group.

[Kira Rose]

"aw man." she said getting pinned again. She paused and thought a second. Getting pinned harder... obviously it was harder to move. She managed to get a hand free and pushed on Ruby's other arm, making her let go and nearly pinning her again, but she rolled forward on accident when she tried to pin her down, close to the lake's edge, laughing non-stop. "Oh hey Josh!" she said excitedly trying to dodge Ruby's next pin.

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby looked at Ryan. "No". She said in a five year old voice. She gave a laugh after what Ryan said to her and Kira. "Big meany." She teased in another five year old voice. Ruby rolled back to the shore before she fell in again. "Ha...You didn't get me in". She teased Kira. She went to her feet again and dusted herself.

[Ryan Redmond]

((did you see that I modified my above post? If not this is what it said: I was just kidding about that when I said you're copying me. I meant you were copying as in doing what I was doing, as in mimicking.))

[Kira Rose]

Kira sat propped up on her elbows, laughing at Ruby's five year old self. "Yeah, we all know who would win anyway." she teased.
