Amarina was looking towards her bathroom as she waited for her close friend, Maisie to hurry up. But, seeing that Maisie liked getting ready in Amarina's house whenever she could. Mostly because for the past four months, Amarina has been more alone than ever. She didn't just lose her boyfriend, but she lost her twin brother as well. Losing the two people she cared about the most really took a toll on the girl and Maisie could tell. So, the Texan spent as mush time with her friend as she could. "Are you sure you don't wanna go, babydoll?" Maisie asked as she put in a few flowers in her golden locks as she walked out into the girl's bedroom.
"I'm positive, Mace. I just want to stay in today." Amarina insured her as she took out one of her headphones and took her eyes off of her copy of The Faults in our Stars and looked up to the dolled up blonde in front of her who had her arms crossed around her chest. "What's with the look?"
"Which one of the brothers are you avoiding: Chev or Xavier?" Maisie asked with a smirk on her face as she moved her hands to her small waist. "Wha--Avoiding? I'm not avoiding anyone, Maisie. I just don't want to go..--" Amarina said as she tried to hide the red on her cheeks as she looked back at her book, not wanting to make eye contact with the other girl before being interrupted by Maisie. "You suck at lying, you know? Amarina, why don't you want to go and be honest." Amarina marked her page before closing her book and setting it on her twin size bed. "This is the first year I would be going to Ostara alone. And while I'm sitting alone in a corner, he'll be grinding up against anything with a pulse. And, I don't want to see that." Amarina admitted as she sighed and started to mess with her blanket. Maisie sat down next to her and crossed her legs before looking towards her friend. "Then don't look. You shouldn't let him ruin your good fun, you love Ostara and you shouldn't let anyone, yes even Cheveyo ruin that."
The Aussie just looked down and moved one of her hands through her hair to push it out of her face. "C'mon, let's go get you all dolled up. When we're done, the guys won't be able to stop staring in your direction. Besides, a few guys already asked me if you were going and asked me to tell you to save them a dance." Amarina chuckled as the blonde grabbed her hand and walked her to her closet where Maisie kept all the clothes she wanted Amarina to have, even though she never wore any of them. They all weren't her style, they were either tight or dresses. And, even after people tried to tell her otherwise, she believed she looked ridiculous in anything other than jeans and hoodies. But, Maisie wasn't allow her to dress in her everyday clothes. Not today. "Why do you have so many dark colors, I mean, black, navy, blues. The lightest color you have in here is red and its my dress." Maisie asked as she grabbed out a small black dress and handed it to Amarina before shooing her off to slip on the dress. The raven haired girl groaned as she headed into her bedroom to get change, looking around, she could see the Kumberlin was excited to see her charge in a dress for once. But, Amarina didn't like changing or undressing people, so she sent her familiar into the closet with Maisie.
As she slid it on, she cleared her thoart knowing there was no way she was going to be able to zip this up on her own. "Um, sweethart."
"Yea?" Maisie asked as she poked her head out of the closet to see Amarina trying to zip up the back on her own. "I require your assistance." Maisie started to laugh as she walked over to her friend and straightened her up so she could zip up the dress completely. It was a little snug, seeing that Amarina had a better body than Mai's. And, Maisie never let her live it down, she always told Amarina that she had curves but, Amarina refused to admit it. Amarina turned to the side and started blushing seeing how much her legs were exposed and how all her arm tattoos were exposed. Maisie squealed in glee as she walked Amarina into the bathroom to touch up her hair and makeup. Good thing, Maisie forgot to turn off her curling wand like always. She slightly curled her friend's hair before pulling it back behind her ears and pinning it so it wouldn't keep getting in her face. Only twenty minutes later the girls were looking in the mirror, making sure they looked okay. As Amarina headed for her flats, Maisie grabbed her shoulder lightly and handed her a pair of heels. "I hate you. I'm gonna bust my ass in these."
"No you won't, you'll be fine and you love me. Kumberlin, don't you think she would look nice in these shoes." Kumberlin raised her head up from her pillow and tilted her head to the side before speaking to Amarina. "You should wear them. They make you taller but, if you bust your butt, I'm going after Maisie." Amarina rolled her eyes before reluctantly taking the shoes from her friend's hands and sitting on the bed to slip on the shoes. When she stood up, she wobbled a bit but, she soon caught herself from falling. As she walked for the door, Maisie tapped her shoulder waved her phone in her hand. Amarina rolled her eyes. "Must you take a picture of everything and everyone?"
"Yes and besides, this is a moment that needs to be captured. You, Amarina Yani King, all dressed up from head to toe! So just smile and look pretty." Maisie said as she took a picture with her close friend. "You ready now, little Miss. I-have-a-thousand-followers?"
"Yup yup and for your information, I have two thousand." Maisie said with a smirk on her face as the two head out of Amarina's apartment and down the steps to make their way to the square where everyone else was. And when they got there, Marina started having second thoughts she grabbed on to Maisie's small hand so she wouldn't lose her in the crowd a people dancing and socializing with others. Adeline and Kumberlin had excused themselves to go find the other familiars, leaving the two girls alone. The pair stopped walking close to the back where Maisie could take out her phone and call her boyfriend, Liam. As Maisie looked at her phone and waited for her boyfriend to pick up, she looked behind Amarina to see a guy staring at the Australian with a grin on his face, but when he saw Maisie looking at her he turned away. "Amarina, turn around." Amarina didn't hear her, she was too busy watching Cheveyo dance with some random girl who didn't like her. Hell, Amarina had seen her before but she never got her name and didn't care enough to ask, she was after her boyfriend at the time and that wasn't okay. It wasn't until she saw Xavier walk up, shooing the girl off when she finally had look down. When she saw the two males kiss and how Cheveyo put his hands on the smaller male's hips. She couldn't watch anymore, she couldn't risk either of them seeing her or the sadness in her eyes.
She was good at hiding it, but Cheveyo was the one person who could tell when she was upset, just by her body language. She looked towards Maisie who kept gesturing her to turn around a bit. "Why?"
"Mason's gawking over you." Maisie said as she hung up the phone, which ended up going to voicemail. So she was sending a text when she saw the fellow Australian walking up behind Amarina with a charming smile on his face the whole time. Amarina turned around the second she felt someone's hand softly slip on her waist to get her attention. A smile crept on small girl's face as she turned towards her friend, Mason. The two had been close friends ever since they first stepped on campus the same day. They were just so similar that it was hard for them not to be friends, Mason made it clear that those weren't his intentions at first but, once her and Chev started hanging out and falling for each other. Mason knew he had to back off. He didn't have a chance, at least in his mind he didn't. But, when Amarina went to him to cry about her break up. He saw it as another shot. Too bad Amarina kept brushing off just like she always did. "Hello, Ama. Maisie" He said when he looked up and saw Maisie right there with a smirk on her tan face. "Hi, Mason. I'll be right back, Marina. I'm going to go find Liam and make him dance with me for a bit but, text me if you need me." She said as she slowly backed up from the two even though Amarina was begging in her eyes to stay. But, it was too late.
She looked back up at the man who had an eyebrow raised. "Hi."
"Hi." They just stared at one another for a moment before Mason broke the tension by clearing his throat. "Okay, I just gotta ask. What's wrong?" Amarina lost her smile as she bit down on her bottom lip. "I don't know what your talking about."
"Yes, you do and you talking faster than usual just assured me of it. Is it about Pocahontas over there?" He asked as he nodded in Cheveyo's direction. Amarina chuckled before looking up towards him and shrugging. "I'm just a little jealous, for lack of a better word I guess." Mason shook his head.
"I don't see why, Xavier has nothing on you. You're smart, beautiful, passionate, hell, if anyone should be jealous its him." Amarina could feel the blush rush to her cheeks as she looked down at the stone floor. She didn't even say anything as she looked back up at him with a small smile. "I know you hate dancing, but would you like to dance? You still owe me a dance from a year ago, remember?" Amarina nodded slightly as she messed with her fingernails. "Sure, why not. I'm already be stared at for looking so ridiculous." The boy rolled his eyes as he reached for the girl's small hand and pulled her onto the dancefloor. He spun her around before wrapping his arms around her. Amarina, the whole time was just blushing up a storm. As they danced, Mason bent down to whisper something in her ear. "Just a heads up, you don't look ridiculous. You look amazing." Amarina didn't even know what to say, all she did was spin around again before being pulled back to him.
"Ugh, sometimes I worry about you, Pippy. This is the one day of the year you can dress like a complete slut without getting judged and you don't take advantage of it." Xavier said to his best friend, Pippa as the two made there was to the center of Ostara. The taller woman just rolled her eyes as she fixed her hair and pushed it out of her blue eyes. "Xav, I refuse to toss out my self-respect and dignity like the rest of the girls here in overly tight clothing or no clothing at all. I have a little thing they lack and that's class." The girl said in a thick French accent as she looked down at the small British boy. Xavier just rolled his eyes. "Yea, sure. Okay. But, c'mon, you're acting like you don't like getting attention from people. You love attention from people!"
"Now, while that is true. The only attention that matters to me is Divvy's and doesn't give a damn what I wear. I could be naked and she'd love me just the goddamn same." While Xavier wanted to poke fun, all he could do is smile. He loved how both of his best friends were together and from the time Pippa met Divinia for the first time, he had 'shipped' them. Knowing that, whether Pippa liked Divvy at first, she would soon learn to love her and that's exactly what ended up happening to the couple. "Besides, who are you to insult what I'm wearing? You're not even wearing a shirt." Pippa added as she raised and eyebrow and began to grow a smirk on her face. "What? Cheveyo likes when I'm shirtless and I sure as hell adore the man even more when he is."
Manwhore. Kermit said to Xavier with a sly look on his face. "Shush, Kermit. Don't judge me." Xav said to the animal before looking back at his friend who was chuckling softly. "I still can't believe you're seeing Cheveyo Whitefeather, of all the hot guys in this school. You go after Mr. Knight-in-shinning-armor." Xavi just shrugged before looked back up at his friend. "What can I say? I like being rescued..--"
"Rescued my ass. The only reason he went after you in the first place is because he was trying to get over King. And you know, that you only went after him for three reasons; because he's hot, he's a good kisser, and just to get under that little Aussie's skin." The Brit just chuckled as he shook his head softly. "You know me oh too well, Pippy." The two stopped near the dancefloor with their familiars by their side, well Kermit was by his side but, Pippa's familiar was in her jacket pocket. When Xavier looked over to the dancefloor to find Cheveyo, he soon lost his smile when he saw Rowina dancing with him. He didn't know a lot about the fake blonde, but he knew enough to the point that she feared him. "Speaking of which, I need to get that barbie off of my man." He said as he looked back at his friend with a raised eyebrow and devious smile. Which Pippa returned with her own. The girl high fived him. "Attaboy, I'll come dance with you and him once I find Divvy."
Xavier nodded his head as he began to walk towards the pair. "By the way, she's probably in a tree somewhere." He added before turning back around. When he and Rowina made eye contact, the girl already knew what was going to happen. Xavier pushed the two apart before smirking at the taller girl as she walked away without a word. Xavier turned towards the other male while biting his bottom lip as he looked over the man's body. “You hardly had to be so mean, Xavi. But I have to admit that you look excellent tonight.” Xavi rolled his eyes before leaning up enough to kiss Cheveyo."Oh please, she should know better." He said before pulling the taller male closer to kiss him again. When he pulled away, two people caught his eye. His somewhat friend, Maisie and surprisingly, Amarina. Well, well, well, what do have over here? Kermit said as he slid through the crowd to make his way to the other familiar but changing into his human form as he walked over. Xavier didn't even notice him leave until a tall male made his way over to a small group of other people. He saw her look over to the two which only made his smirk grow even more and when she looked away, Xavier turned back to the man as if nothing happened.
As she watched her friend walk away towards the dancefloor, the girl just looked down, shook her head, and chuckled. She looked into her jacket's pocket as she began feeling Lemmy stirring about in the small pocket. The small animal was always sleeping, so in order to keep the small familiar safe, she just kept him in her pocket or in her bag. "Hey, Lemmy. About time you woke up." She said with a small, unnoticeable smile as she held him in her small hand. Morning, well...afternoon. Where's Divinia?
"I have to go find her. Do you want to come with or go find your friends?" Lemmy turned to if he could see any of the other familairs and saw Kermit moving through the crowd. The two of them, while they were different...Very different, they were close friends and Kermit was rather protective of the little guy. I think I just gonna go with Kermit. He said as he turned back towards his charge. She groaned sarcastically as she bent down and laid him on the ground. "Turn into your human form though, I don't need you getting stepped on."
That was one time! Kermit said as he stood and looked up at Pippa. She just stood up with a fake pout on her face. "Go, you hurt my feelings." Pippa joked as she began walking away to go find her girlfriend. Oh please, everyone knows you don't have emotions. Pippa turned around for a moment to flip him the bird before turned back around. She walked towards a past a large group, hoping that Xavier was right about where their best friend was. Pippa straighten her black shirt also fixing the stupid flower crown, thing, Xavier forced her to wear. In all honesty, she wasn't a fan of the festival. Sure, she loved all the dancing and drinks but, she hated to expose skin to everyone. She rather be covered up than show every piece of skin she could.
When she got to a tree, some pink fabric caught her eye which made her whistle, hoping that it was indeed Divinia and not some else even if she highly doubted someone else would be in a gown in a tree. But, how she did love messing with her Divvy. "Hey, whoever is in the pink tree. I'm hiding from my girlfriend, so am I coming up or are you coming down?" She asked with fake seriousness in her voice as a large sly smirk continued to creep onto her face.
"Jesus Christ, do you think you're wearing enough cologne?" The headmaster's familiar asked the man as he changed to his human form. The two of them have known each other, forever, honestly. And the two of them were the best of friends, hell Apollo knew everything even about his secret relationship with Chosovi Whitefeather. Sure, he didn't approve of it, but as long as his charge was happy that's all that mattered. Phil turned towards the other man as he rolled his eyes. "Hey, keep the comments to yourself." He said as he buttoned the last button of his coat. Why are you so dressed up anyway? It wouldn't have to do with Chosovi, would it?"
"And? What if it does?" Apollo just sighed and shook his head. Ever since he first found out about the couple, he told the man that it was a big mistake and sooner or later they would get caught and that's when shit would really hit the fans. Apollo already knew that Leonardo had suspected something, but Leo being...Leo, he just brushed it off believe that he was just showing favoritism. "What? What's with the shaking of the head?" The Greek man asked as he turned around towards Apollo who was now just leaning against the desk with his arms crossed across his chest before sighing once more. I just don't think this is going to end well. And I don't want either of you to get hurt.
"We're not going to get hurt, we've been doing this close to three years and no one suspects a thing. Alright? We know what we're doing." He said as he grabbed the flower he had laid down on his bed and slipped it softly inside his jacket in the hidden pocket. "Now, are you coming or not? Because, I don't feel like being lectured the whole damn time." Apollo rolled his eyes before returning to his hawk form and flying on to Phil's shoulder, where he took his perch as they walked into town and past everyone. It took him a bit longer than he wanted it to but, it wasn't long until he saw Chosovi's coyote sitting down, keeping watch. "Stay here. Make sure no one comes this far and if they do, come and find me." He told Apollo as the bird nodded a bit as he flew up on to a branch where he could see pretty much everything. The older man stopped for a second before straightening out his shirt and grabbing the light blue flower out of his jacket as he continued his walk.
When he finally saw the lake, he saw his love standing right there waiting for him. All he could think about was how beautiful she looked, well that and the hope that she hadn't waited too long for the man to make his way out here. He snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around her small waist before kissing her cheek softly. "You look so beautiful, love." He told her as he let go of her and faced her so he was able to bend down and kiss the girl softly.
