Post #1761922 in Coming Undone, a roleplay on RPG

Ceridwen sat on the couch, a rather stupidly wide smile upon the face of the fifteen year old as she listened to Leo ramble on in his post-wake up state. He wanted to know how she’d found out where he’d lived! Silly boy, he knew her well enough to know she was a ninja right? She giggled to herself, and found that she happened to be rather proud of the fact she’d managed to wake him up as she had. It wasn’t every day a guy would get to wake up finding a pretty girl near him like that, right?

She was happy to see Leo again, although she was happy to have gone home and be with her dad over the summer term break, she felt lonely. Ceridwen had missed getting to startle people at Bloodworth Prep, be crazy with Leo and also, she missed seeing her darling Lynn! She had to go a full four weeks without any of those things, and it was like utter Hell for her. The next plan Ceridwen had in her agenda for her arrival at school was to seek out her future lover and make sure he saw what had become of her in the last weeks, she’d turned fifteen. Lynn had to see her in a different light now! The crazy ninja had already popped by her dorm room, dropped off her stuff before she’d snuck into the office to look up Leo’s dorm number . . . Ceridwen hadn’t seen anyone in the room when she stopped on by, but she probably had a roomie and just didn’t know it yet.

Hopefully she was a girl who didn’t mind her going on and on about her love~

As Leo rolled about on the floor, repeating ‘boredom’ over and over, Ceridwen simply watched the boy while maintaining that silly little grin of hers, all the while part of her mind was obsessing over Lynn; she wondered what he looked like now, if he had changed! The only way he could have changed was to get better looking, and have become nicer. . . . she thought with a dreamy sigh.

"Hey, Ceri, there's a party later today. Y'know, the back to school party?” when Leo started talking, Ceridwen snapped from her thoughts and started to pay attention to him. Leo was the only person she would break away from her thoughts about Lynn for. As far as she was concerned, if it wasn’t Leo talking then whatever was to be said was simply pointless dribble she wouldn’t care about anyway.

Ceridwen’s head tilted to the side when she heard the word ‘party.’ She blinked, okay so he officially had her upmost attention. Given that she had been a freshie last year, Ceridwen had never attended any parties thrown by her fellow students, because one, she was never invited, and two, if she did sneak in and get caught, she was escorted out because she was too young to be there. Apparently. She knew that Leo had been to a few because of Clark; yes, Ceridwen knew Clark Valentine to an extent. Tall guy, Leo’s best guy friend, good at soccer, he was beloved by over half of the female student body at Bloodworth Prep . . . yada, yada. That typical sort of popular guy drabble she didn’t give a damn about. Clark was overrated in her opinion, besides; she had her heart sworn to Lynn.

“Anyways, my roommate is Darwyn Johnson, as in Lynn's best friend.” Ceridwen froze when Leo said that, literally, she just completely stopped moving. She even stopped breathing. Leo’s roommate was Lynn’s best friend? It was taking the poor girl all the restrain she had in her tiny little body to keep from screaming out and going on a tangent and gush about Lynn, and starting to ask a bazillion questions to Leo. . . .

“D'you see where I'm getting? That Lynn's probably gonna be there. So, you coming?" he asked.

Ceridwen went totally silent at that, her head dropped and a smile appeared over her lips before IT happened. . . . Ceridwen bounded up to her feet and squealed rather loudly, jumping up and down excitedly. “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!!” she babbled out, “I can’t believe your roommate’s Lynn’s best friend!! And if he’s throwing the party then yes, Lynn’s soooo going to be there, Darwyn Johnson and Lynn always go to parties together!!” Ceridwen let out a rather frightening giggle that sounded almost evil.

“You didn’t even have to ask if I was going to come Leo!! All you had to do was tell me about Darwyn and Lynn, and I’d have shown up no matter what!” Once more hopping up and down she cried out, unable to contain her happiness and elation anymore. “I CAN’T WAIT!!!” she screamed, glomping Leo and clinging onto him. “Thank you for telling me, thank you, thank you, thank you!” A smile was plastered onto the girl’s face.

It was a rather loud laugh that made Ceridwen snap out of her Lynn induced insanity, sit up and look over at the door. She blinked when she saw Darwyn Johnson standing in the open doorway, staring at her and Leo. “Umm, perhaps I’ll come back later. Nice to meet you whoever you are,” he said, shutting the door back.

Ceridwen popped up to her feet right after that and began to giggling manically again as soon as she realized who that was. That was Lynn’s best friend! Lynn-Lynn’s best friend~ Ahh, I’m so close to him now, sooooo close!!! she squirmed about in place where she stood, unable to tear that smile off her face. “Leo!” she shouted suddenly, turning back to her friend, a look of sheer determination on Ceridwen’s face, “This year is the year I make him mine! And you’re going to help me get to Lynn at the party tonight!” With that she pointed at Leo, “Heheheh, Lynn-Lynn~”

But for a moment, Ceridwen calmed herself down considering she was going to get her own chance at being with her love tonight, she thought about Leo and his similar ‘situation.’ Oh, she knew very well about Leo and his feelings regarding a certain best-friend’s girlfriend . . . Blossom Suda. “I might get my own chance at happiness tonight with Lynn-Lynn, but what about you Leo? How’re things going for you and your feelings for, y’know, her?”

♦♦♦♦♦

Lynn simply stared at Clark as he went on about how he was expected to go to every event because he was a public figure at Bloodworth Prep. . . . Okay, she knew he wasn’t a bad guy, but that sounded a little bit conceited to her, even if he hadn’t meant for it to come off like that. At least Clark knew what he was getting into by going to one of Noél’s parties though; Lynn remembered the first time she’d been drug along to one. The reverse-trap hadn’t the slightest idea what to expect; and wound up almost having a very, very bad experience. A shudder ran through her body when she thought what had almost happened to her, and how lucky she had been to get that hit in when she did. Even if it did cost me a broken knuckle, it was better than what else could have happened. . . . she thought with a rather bitter look on her face.

"Sometimes I wish I wasn't good at soccer. Maybe then I could be a little more like you." Clark continued on, catching Lynn’s attention again. That line really wanted to make her bust out laughing like mad! A little more . . . like her, oh, if only Clark could know the irony of that comment! If anything, he were far more normal than she was, at least he was able to be his own gender, unlike herself.

When Clark asked her, "So what do you do for fun around here?" Lynn opened her mouth to respond, but was cut off when Noél sort of . . . barged into the dorm.

Instantly, Lynn felt her heart sink in her chest as she knew full well this was not the Noél she had seen this morning. Her gaze turned to him, and she put on a rather nonchalant face, as if she were not bothered in the least by his sudden arrival. Truthfully, deep down inside she didn’t feel so good, her stomach felt like it had flipped in her body; she felt nervous and anxious.

Lynn had to look down and away as Noél more or less circled Clark like a wolf did its prey, her face went a little red regarding the fact that he was getting far too close to her roommate for her tastes. . . . Even if Clark was more or less one of the best-looking guys on campus, she wished Noél would control and contain himself some. She was stuck living with Clark for the next year; he could try not to make things even more awkward than they already were for her by NOT checking her roommate out so closely!

. . . .but then, this wasn’t the Noél that did that. What else could she expect?

Sighing, Lynn looked up from the kitchen tile and back at Noél as he introduced Noah to them. When Noah went ahead and waved at her and Clark, looking kind of nervous, Lynn went ahead and waved back herself. Noah . . . Noah? Lynn questioned herself silently, partly certain she had heard Noél mention him a few times before. Rings a few bells, and also, with Noél being as he is now, it sets off a few alarms. Lynn found herself feeling concerned for this guy, Noél . . . just wasn’t the same at night as he was during the day, and that could spell disaster for his friendships, Lynn knew this.

She found it hard to breathe now. There was much anxiety in her, and it was making it very hard for her to breathe. The party was hours away and Noél was already like this. . . . Lynn let out a loud yelp when Noél grabbed her wrist, yanking her behind him as they went to her and Clark’s room.

When he let go of her wrist, and she dropped onto her bed, Lynn stared at him while he locked her door with a rather confused expression upon her face. He turned around, looking rather concerned . . . Lynn knew better though, that expression was to not last as soon as the man opened his mouth. “That is fucking Clark Valentine. CLARK VALENTINE IS YOUR ROOMMATE. Just give me thirty minutes in the bathroom with him and he’ll………,” And there it went. Lynn knew it all too well.

At hearing that thought, Lynn found herself letting out a whine and covering her face; she was timid when someone mentioned things like that around her sensitive ears! She knew who her roommate was, she didn’t need to hear what Noél wanted to do to him in the bathroom for Pete’s sake!! Thank God, he stopped. . . .

“You know what, we are just going to go to this party and have fun. Don’t let anything worry you okay Lynn? Your secret is safe, I assure you.” Lynn sighed at this, taking her hands off her face. Looks like a little bit of the normal Noél came back after all, for this she was glad.

He can’t know that I’m not actually looking forward to the party, and he certainly can’t know WHY. she thought to herself, in all honesty, Lynn wasn’t so much as concerned about her secret at the moment as she was about what might go down tonight. Her foremost concern was the ‘party.’ Damn thing’s a rave, not a party.

She gave him a smile, a fake one, “I’m not worried about anything right now Noél, I’m just looking forward to the party tonight, I’m sure it’ll be a real experience.”
