The first one, admittedly, that her Buddy Love wasn't here to crack a joke that would lighten her mood. It was kind of obvious that during the past week, Melody had taken a serious liking to Kieran the academy's resident half of the twin jesters. Well, when it said obvious, it meant ridiculously obvious to a point where it wouldn't even be comparable to a looking-through glass. It was like Captain Obvious took the day off on being, well, Captain Obvious, and instead choose to be Cupid and blatantly state: “You are now crushing on each other.”
Or rather: “Melody, you now like that guy who you knew was attending the academy last year, but didn't bother to notice until last week.” Because the girl wasn't sure about Kieran and his thoughts. On that note, it totally sucked to lack any mind-reading abilities.
Though, if anything, Melody hadn't really decided to act on said feelings. Yet. Laziness and uncertainty combined made for a pretty deadly 'Can't be arsed' attitude – Mostly just laziness. Sure, they had the odd-talk at times.
And during that week, Melody hasn't been that busy thwarting Lorelei's attempts at scaring somebody away since... Last year. It's common knowledge that History repeats itself, but this was just ridiculous. Okay, not entirely 'repeat'. The difference this time was that Kieran wasn't as much of an ass-monkey as whatshisface. Still, that did not automatically ban any jealousy, slash protectiveness in Lorelei's behaviour.
The wee-little siren stepped it up after her first attempt. Thus, instead of giving the poor sod a wet suit, she moved on to using her singing. Almost succeeded once, hadn't Melody blocked the noise with her own sound magic.
However, today... Ahh, today – Yes, with this little excursion, Lorelei didn't have to worry about her Magni's attention averting from precious, little her. Kieran, to the demon's knowledge, was with the other group.
“Melly...? Whaddya think about this's?” The siren sang through a series of giggles, clearly content with the fact that she had Melody all to herself.
“Naaah, I already got that one.” The blonde retorted, her pale fingers gently sliding through a massive library of CDs. Considering the excursion wasn't related to any lesson – Well it was, but that didn't stop Melody from going on a 'music hunt'.
Seriously, it had been ages since she last updated her library! The thousands of songs on her music player were memorized in her mind to the lowest note, she badly needed something new to listen 'till the disc spontaneously combusted. “Awww- Nothing new or interesting.” The girl displayed a serious sour face, disappointed at the lack of songs she hadn't already stored within her gizmos.
“Anything tickling your fancy, Lore?” Melody spoke out loud, managing to receive a couple of funny glances – Sadly, the people who looked were at the wrong address for a reaction. The girl didn't care. Their thoughts and opinions, not hers.
“No, Lorelei does not see any songs...” She sang, her tone, too, disappointed.
“I suppose I have,” Melody began, pretending to put on a pair of sunglasses in a blunt and flamboyant manner. “played my last tune. Yeah!” She smiled, relieving her throat of a series of giggles and laughs before slamming the palm of her hand onto her forehead. “That's terrible. I think Kieran's joke-cracking is rubbing off on me.” She exclaimed under a weak groan.
That name, was a bad name to state. “Melly!!! Don't mention him! Lorelei hates him!” The little siren growled, crossing her arms across her chest and letting out a big harrumph.
“Hey, hey, I was just joking. By the way, you sho-”
“Melody!”
Came a shout, although far softer. In any case, that meant their boss had decided it was time to quit the games and return to boring old dictatorship. What? Mel certainly thought of it that way. Bleach had to stop being so horribly serious! Miss Brumfield's favourite, uuuuughhhh....
The blonde stuck out her tongue in disgust, though decided not to react on her name being shouted lest she was the only one he was looking for. It'd be fun, watching Kirie squirm to try and find her.
“Haha, sucker!” Melody put up a smirk, silently sneaking about and attempting to make a big escape. She'd stick to her plan: Scram. Mister goodie-good could keep watching the others for all she cared, as long as she was overlooked.
However, as her plan was going, well, according to plan. Melody found that, as soon as she exited the store, Chaos had more then ensued. It had horribly, terribly, amazingly ensued. People were screaming and running from something. Whatever it was, Melody didn't want to stick around and find out.
“Fuck. Guess I found why Bleach called for me.” Anyway, trouble was afoot, and Melody was intend on scramming and getting away from the group. Making the first few steps in some random direction, preferably the direction people were running, a hand suddenly yanked Melody's hoodie. Feeling herself being pulled back, her head could only slowly but surely turn around to see which poor sod was gonna get decked in the face.
