“C-can’t we all just get along!”
Sam had managed to finally look up at Kai. And yes, she had to look up. Sam was already of a decent height for her age, and her was almost eight inches taller than her. Sam, however liked his towering height. It made her feel rather secure for some odd reason she will probably never be able to explain.
"I just put a notice up on the board. Next practice is tomorrow. We'll be meeting at - "
Sam had been listening when he was cut off by Ravenclaw’s Quidditch Team Captain sauntering over like she owned the place.
"I know Gryffindor is in trouble this year, Logan. But seriously, trying to recruit a Hufflepuff? You've not run out of options already have you?"
Sam could tell she had been referring to her, and it only made her blush even more. Her silent, seething rage grew a bit more. Her hands that were behind her back clenched into tight fists, and her jaw tightened as well.
"U-Um... He wasn't recruiting me. I wanted to give my new broom a test run before the janitor was about to rat me out. Kai was only trying to get me out of the situation is all." Sam looked to the boy who had been here the entire time. She had barely noticed him. So that’s why…
"Charleson, one day you're going to learn that you can whine as much as you like, but it's not going to make your Quidditch skills any better." Sam was quite surprised by the sudden shift in Kai’s tone. Sam blinked slowly, staring at him. She could see this escalating way out of proportion, even though this could just be ignore and everyone will walk off.
Sam decided internally that she should probably do something. So, she stepped up cautiously in between the two. “P.. perhaps it would be best if… umm…” Sam wondered what to say exactly. “Alright. Here’s the deal.” Sam grumbled. Now she’s going to be late for classes. She hated being late. “Both of you should probably just back off and calm down for a bit. Why don’t we settle this on the field later.” Sam cast an annoyed glare in Ebony’s direction. Her eye sorta twitched as she realized she was speaking to the two Captains rather rudely.
Sam backed up and bowed out of habit. “I will see you later, Kai. And hopefully I won’t see you later, Ebony. As for you-“ she nodded in the direction of the Hufflepuff boy, “I’m sorry to have met you like this. I have to go. Classes will be starting soon.” She stood upright and trudged across the field, annoyed with pretty much every one. She hated being late because that meant she had to walk in and be scolded by the teacher in front of everyone.
“Let’s go Kat!” She shouted in the direction of the Team Room. Kat scurried out of the room and beside her sister. The two walked in silence with Sam quietly fuming.
