Snippet #1762000

“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!! 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!!"

Leo grinned. He knew the girl would be happy at his news, and at least he'd have someone to be with. He wasn't even sure if Clark had arrived, or even if he'd met his new roommate. Ceridwen was giggling creepily again, so Leo tried to edge away quietly, before he got glomped. Leo wanted to push her away, his claustrophobia was really acting up lately. Hugs, he didn't mind, but anyone being so close... It just gave him the shivers. And the door was closed... He'd have to go open that, or he'd get really creeped out. But for now, he had to endure being glomped to death.

"Claustrophobia, remember?" Leo let out, his voice slightly shaky and pointing at himself. He'd know Ceri since she'd joined Bloodworth, but she always forgot things like that. He hadn't told her his whole story, he just lets somethings out by accident. Like, for example, the time he'd completely freaked out about being in a storage cupboard and the door was a fire door, so it shut itself. Or the fact that he always sped away from clowns as soon as possible, or how he fakes ill on any 'Friday the 13th'. He wasn't one of those superstitious people, there were just somethings that gave him the freaks.

“Umm, perhaps I’ll come back later. Nice to meet you whoever you are”

Leo looked at the door as it closed. Darwyn? He then looked at Ceridwen who stood up abruptly and started laughing manically again. Oh dear... Leo stood up to go open the door, if only slightly and he sighed with relief, flicking the light on. He squinted his eyes as it always took time to get used to the light, and Leo regretted putting on a bright yellow jumped that hurt his eyes now.

“Leo!” Please stop shouting. Ceridwen was absolutely sure about what she was about to say, he could see it in her eyes. “This year is the year I make him mine! And you’re going to help me get to Lynn at the party tonight!” Plea don't point at me. “Heheheh, Lynn-Lynn~”

Lynn-Lynn. It always sounded really, really cheesy to Leo. But, for him, it was quite cute how she could just easily approach someone and declare her feelings, even if it's at the top or her voice. “I might get my own chance at happiness tonight with Lynn-Lynn," Hehe, Lynn-Lynn. It is really cheesy! but what about you Leo? How’re things going for you and your feelings for, y’know, her?"

Leo stopped and stared, before frowning. "My feelings are still the same and there's nothing I can do about them. She's Clark's girlfriend, he'd one of my best-friends, he'd hate me forever..." Leo mumbled sadly, before trying to translate that into Ceridwenish. "Imagine I were a girl too, and he started going out with me. Wouldn't you hate me?"

And with that, Leo plopped down on the sofa and flicked his phone open, checking for texts from Clark. 1 Missed Call from: Blossom Suda. Leo mentally whacked himself, before unlocking the phone. He put his finger on his mouth as he signalled to Ceri to be quiet. The phone rang, and he waited patiently for the girl to answer,
