Roaming the Halls (open)

[Adalynn Mae Shimura]

Adalynn felt so different now that she returned to the school after winter break. She had evolved emotionally and physically in some ways...her adult female body had blossom over the break...leaving her with more curves then she was used to..not that she was complaining...she looked a lot like her mom theses days...which was an honor...her mom was stunning. Adalynn hadn't grown anymore to fit her body changes...she was just as petite as ever with curves to kill. She really wasn't sure why but her emotional state of mind had awakened more than ever and the world around her was causing all sort of new strong emotions in her...

She wanted to see Shane again...and hoped she would soon. They weren't a couple or anything so she couldn't expect him to come running as soon as she came back to the school...but a part of her wished he would...She sighed and got out of her bed. She went to the wardrobe and pulled out a white dress and pulled it over her body...luckily her mother had taken her shopping for clothing that fit her blossoming curves better...She slipped on a pair of white furry snow boots on and then pulled on a pink cloak that she had gotten in a cute shop in France during the holidays.

She went to the mirror and bit her lip for a moment as she stared at her appearance...Sure she was only fourteen and wouldn't be fifteen until May...but she was a fairy not a human..and her body and mind were at the age of sexual maturity...not that she knew what to do with it...She carefully applied mascara on her eyelashes and then eyeliner with a nervous smile...she had never been one to wear much eye makeup...but it really made her blue eyes sparkle. She then put on a thin layer of lip gloss before giving a smile and blowing a kiss at the mirror...She needed to go do something...but wasn't sure what there was to do...She headed out of the Sjenert Katt Common room moments later with her wand twirling in her hand absentmindedly.

She walked down to the fourth floor and then hoped up on a window ledge to look out.

[Shane Bradley Dorsal]

It wasn't that Shane intended on getting in trouble first thing in the morning. But things just seemed to unravel ideas inside his head. The first thing he saw a house elf cleaning some chairs...he was confused. He thought the elves only came out at night, when no one was around. Maybe this one was slow. He shrugged it off but as he kept walking, he couldn't help but wonder if you can curse a house elf, or at least put a spell on it, help it with a charm. He turned around and looked at the elf hard at work. Pulling out his wand from his waist band, Shane pointed it at the elf and said an incantation to make it go faster, to help it along with the work. It hit the elf and instead of it going faster, the elf went incredibly slower. Shane looked around. It wasn't a bad prank, it was simply...irresponsible magic. Story of my life, thought Shane.

He hurried down the hall, forgetting completely about the elf, and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Adalynn. The past winter break had done her good. She looked amazing. Sure, Shane and Adalynn hadn't talked much lately what with all the rules revolving muggleborn and pureblood relationships. But Shane was still a teenaged boy and Adalynn looked 3 or 4 years older to him in his own mind. He scratched the back of his head, at a loss for words, but he had to say something. Shane couldn't very well just turn around and pretend he hadn't seen her. "Hey! How was your break?" He asked, walking toward her and the window ledge. Her face was breathtaking, and Shane had to do everything in his power not to let his jaw drop or everything about him shout that he was completely taken aback. "I enjoy being back. No Dad around," he winked. He gave her a crooked grin and sat down on the ledge next to her, trying not to look her in the eyes for fear of doing something stupid.

[Adalynn Mae Shimura]

Adalynn turned as she heard foot steps approaching her in the hall. Her eyes widened slightly as he came into view and a smile crept across her face. The way he scratched the back of his head and stared at her for a moment made her blush slightly. Wondering if he thought less of her with the physical changes she had went through...she touch her hip slightly wondering if she looked weird. As he spoke, she smiled up at him, Break went well...Kastiel spent the winter break with his father in I guess some sort of demonic training thingy... She said rolling her eyes, So I was happy to have my mom to myself. She said with a smirk as she watched him sit beside her, Your father...I bet you enjoy this much better...though, this place kinda sucks as well...but at least you get to see me? She half asked and have mentioned with a sly smile as she peeked at him.

She grinned at him, So...it's been a while since we last spoke. Did you miss me? She asked with a sweet smile as reached out and lifted his chin up with a small hand to look at her in the eyes. She could feel her heart jump a little as his eyes met her and she could help but flutter her eyelashes at him.

[Shane Bradley Dorsal]

Shane couldn't help but stare at Adalynn. He refused to look directly at any particular part of her body that had changed over the break, but he knew nonetheless. Then she reached out and lifted his chin up, making him look even more so at her. He clenched his teeth to keep from looking away and laughing in anxiety. He could feel the blood rush to his cheeks and he was suddenly glad the bruise around his eye was yellowing. Maybe she wouldn't notice it if the light didn't shine directly on it. He nodded his head slowly and bit his bottom lip. "Yeah, I missed you. But I didn't miss you so much when I was eating. We had a lot of food..." When in doubt, talk about food. Great job, Shane.

He cleared his throat and turned his head, letting her hand fall to her lap. He had absolutely no idea what to do next. Sure he missed her, and seeing her now, it was hard for him not to do something stupid. So...he lied. "Although my break really was awesome. We went to Paris for most of the time. My dad bought me loads of candy and stuff. And the snow and the scenery was absolutely gorgeous." He looked out the window, shoving his hands in his sweatshirt pocket. The snow was falling and he actually imagined himself in Paris in teh snow, walking alone and watching the different window displays. It would never happen. He'd been to New York and Durmstrang. Oh, let's not forget Hogwarts before he was expelled. He would never travel the world. Shane would be lucky if he even graduated. "But it's over now, so....here we are..." He mtutered, almost literally seeing the thought bubble with his vision pop above his head.

[Adalynn Mae Shimura]

Adalynn smiled as he bit the bottom of his lip before speaking. His words made her grin. Well then I'm glad to hear you missed me and also happy to hear you were well fed. She said with a wink. She was sorta use to his humor...and the way he tried to change the subject when he was nervous. As he cleared his throat and moved his head so that her hand fell back into her lap, her face fell a little in disappoint and sadness but she was sure to give a warm smile to hide such feelings.

Something about his next words seemed a bit off and she wasn't sure why but she couldn't help but wonder if he was lying to her. She shrugged this off and decided to not press the issue for now, I love Paris...though Beuxbaton's...was dreadful for me. she said with a sigh, What all did you see in Paris Shane? Skip the Eifle tower please... She said with a grin, her question was more calculated slightly but she couldn't help but wonder if he was lying to her.

[Shane Bradley Dorsal]

Shane stared out the window as she asked what he'd seen in Paris. Shit. He had never been to Paris! What was he thinking? He had to come up with something. She asked to skip the Eifel Tower. What else is in France? Shane scratched the back of his head, most of his hair falling in his face. He jerked his head to make the hair move out of his eyes. "Um...I saw...French people...and some...water," he muttered, moving so he could see out the window better. "Why was it so bad for you at Beauxbatons?" he asked, glancing at her then back to the window.

Shane was starting to think that maybe Adalynn was catching on to his lying. That didn't sit well with him. He blamed his nerves. When he wasn't nervous, he didn't stutter and think about things. He just came up with the lies like they were premeditated. When Shane was with Adalynn she confused him and made him second guess himself too much. His lies were easily detectible. It irritated him. "If we're seen together, we'll get in trouble," he said, finally looking at her full on. He clenched his teeth again to stop himself from blushing. Did it work? Nah, he was entirely out of his realm with Adalynn.

[Adalynn Mae Shimura]

Adalynn watches as he scratched his head and then watched as his hair fell into his face and he moved so it got out of his face. His answer seemed less then real. She opened her mouth to question him but her voice caught in her throat as he asked about Beuxbaton's..normally she would of noticed but a frown spread across her lips as his change of subject hit her. She bit her lip and looked away, Well..I wasn't very popular there, not that I am here either...but there...everyone knew me for all the wrong reasons. She said frowning, Some of the girls found out I was a fairy and well they didn't take it very well...They use to pick on me between classes and several time they beat me up... She said with a sigh.

His next words made him smirk, Seriously. Do you really care what these people think? I don't... She said at all...she bit her lip and then leaned forward...a little shakily from her nerves. She kissed his cheek softly for a moment and leaned back with her blue eyes on his, See...I so don't care. She said with a nervous laugh.

[Shane Bradley Dorsal]

Shane listened to Adalynn and let his eyebrows knit together in confusion. He couldn't imagine a girl like Adalynn not being popular. She was gorgeous and super sweet. She never said an unkind word to him, and talked to him like she was actually listening and cared. Not only was she not popular, she'd been beaten up? He could'nt imagine that. "Well, I promise I won't beat you up." He grinned, looking at the ground, then back out the window. Shane looked back at Adalynn as she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.

He stared at her. Was he really crushing on this girl? She was like a supermodel. NOt a girl Shane was used to liking him. He hadn't even made a move yet and she was the one kissing on him! What's a Shane to do? If she didn't care, he didn't....no he still cared. Because he would get attacked by the school and she wouldn't. "Are you sure you want to be involved with me in any capacity, Adalynn?" He asked, arching an eyebrow. "I mean, I'm a compulsive liar, I have a history of fighting and anger management problems," he stood up and started pacing as he continued to attempt to list off his faults. "I clearly have some form of ADHD that no one can cure, I'm always in trouble, adn I tend to think things are funny, even when they're not." He put his hands on his hips and nodded. "Yeahp, a regular idiot destined to be alone for the rest of his life. Now, unless you want to end up the same way....I can't help you, if I do....it's bound to get screwed up." He said, nodding emphatically. When in doubt or not sure what to say... blab on and on about nonsense!

[Adalynn Mae Shimura]

Adalynn smirked slightly at his words, I think I could take you. She teased with a grin. She couldn't help but love the way he smiled.

Her eyes widened slightly at the look on his face. She watched silently as his eyebrow rose and he began talking. It took her a moment to understand what he was saying...She stared at him as he stood up and her eyes followed him as he paced...and she rose her eyebrow at him as he put his hand on his hip and continued to talk. She waited for him to finish speaking in silence. She didn't speak until he started nodding. Shane... She said standing up and walking up to him. She shook her head and without thinking smacked him hard across the face, Get a grip on it. I'm still standing here. I know...your not always honest...and your history is nothing but that. Maybe I like that your not a good guy...maybe I'm in to that. Maybe I see past all that... She told him.

She looked into his eyes and grabbed him by his shirt, pulling him towards her. She smiled slightly and then closed her eyes and tilted her head up. She pressed her lips against his. She put her hand on his face and let the kiss continue for a moment. Her cheeks blushing deeply as she finally pulled away and let go of him, I would rather end up alone knowing I tried...then knowing I was too scared of what people thought of me to even try. She said taking a step back, If you don't like me...just tell me okay. She whispered.

[Shane Bradley Dorsal]

Shane stood there, his hands on his hips, when Adalynn stood up. Well, there we go. She's goign to get up and leave because of all the issues my father instilled in me. What a lovely man, to screw up his son's life for all eternity. Wait, no. SHe walked right up to him and at first Shane was slightly excited; then she slapped him, and he stood there, a faint smile on his face in surprise. He didn't raise a hand to his face, he just stared at her in disbelief. "Did you seriously just slap me?" he asked, amused by her actions.

The next thing he knew, Adalynn had grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him to her level, kissing him for a moment. She pulled away and stepped back. What to say after that and to a girl who just asked him if he liked her? Shane scratched the back of his head, still reeling from the kiss. He wasn't good with girls. He was scared and stuttered. He thought everything was funny out of a defense mechanism. "No...i-it's not...I-I do like you...I just...I don't know." he said, throwing his arms out in surrender, a goofy look on his face, and shrugging. He took in a deep sigh before continuing. "I've liked you for a long time. Since that little apple trick of yours last semester." He grinned, shoving his hands in his pockets, reliving that kiss another time in his head. "I just...I'm not good at this...I have no idea."

[Adalynn Mae Shimura]

Adalynn smiled at him sweetly as he spoke, her eyes on his as he put his hands in his pockets and as she spoke she whispered, I have no idea...what I am doing Shane...I really do not... She whispered stepping closer to him again... She put her hands on his chest as she looked up into his eyes...She was silent for a moment, trying to let her head catch up with the fact that she had just experience her first kiss with a boy...and a boy she really liked.

She smiled again and reached up to rest her hand on his face...I am really...really afraid...that you will let those around us keep us from becoming something...keep us from exploring...these... She whispered as she stood on her tippy toes and kissed him softly again, Please Shane...protect me from the pain of never knowing...never knowing if this could of been something.. She whispered with her blue eyes locked onto his...She bit her lip, I really like you...and I do not care what anyone thinks... She mentioned as she let her hands fall back down to his chest.

[Shane Bradley Dorsal]

Shane stared at Adalynn, even when she kissed him again, his eyes were locked on hers. HE was trying desperately not to let his teenaged hormones take over this conversation. He needed to stay level headed and pay attention tohis heart, not his hormones. Her words caught him dead. He had nothing to say to those words. What, no? I don't want to shield you from the pain of dating a boy who has anger management problems and tends to fight because of anger and hatred toward his father? A faery, dating an abused boy? It made no sense to him, but she was clearly not giving in.

Shane nodded. "Yeah...no, I just..." She was just so incredibly close to him....his heart was racing and he had no idea what to do with a girl, a faery princess, that close to thim. "Um...yeah. Sure." Whatever that was supposed to mean. He scratched he back of his head, patted her on the head, and sat down on the window ledge, completely nervous and scared to death. She made him nervous and scared him, making him want to run away and hope that she never sees his failures and faults. Someone could use those against a boy! "So...so then...what exactly do you want...I mean..I....I dunno." He said, once again scratching the back of his head, his messy hair just that much more messier.

[Adalynn Mae Shimura]

Adalynn wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him for a long moment, I want to be yours. Like a relationship or something you know? She said said shyly. She stepped back a little as the red hit her cheeks, Does that sound good to you? She asked curiously...looking up at him though her eyelashes. Her blue eyes locking on his.

She watched as he rustled up his hair again, making it more of a mess than it usually was. It always seemed wild and untamed...and she like that about him. He was laid back...she lifted a hand up to play with a piece of his hair curling it around her finger tips. She smiled at the way it felt in her fingers...soft to the touch...she didn't bother flattening it for him...she like it that way...it was just him. She wouldn't change a thing about this boy...except maybe his habit of lying..but she could get him past that couldn't she? She just had to get down deep inside of him...see what he was hiding inside.

She smiled at him, How about we go out tomorrow? My treat? She asked shyly with her voice a little shaky as she asked him.

[Shane Bradley Dorsal]

Shane hugged her back. THere was something about a hug. It was very near impossible to just stand there when someone hugged you. Especially in Shane's case, who rarely got hugs to begin with. Then she started talking. She wanted to be his....that hit him hard. She really wanted him? Who would want that? IT was like saying no to a cute kitten, and yes to a beaten, broken, and wounded dog. But Shane wasn't about to say no to Adalynn. She was a gem. He looked at her, his eyes locked on hers. He'd been thinking about her for months, since they met. Fantasizing about what they'd be like together. "Um....yeah. OKay. A-a relationship....well...let's call it something else....like....I dunno....somethign else. Relationship sounds.....scary?" he said, blushing when she reached up and played with his hair.

Was she really asking him out? That wasn' ther job! That was his. And she'd beat him to the finish line. She asked him first. He looked down at his feet and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Yeah. Sure. BUt...let's pretend like I asked you, and let's just tell everyone that, too, so I don't look like a pansy." He said, grinnign and looking back down at the ground. He wasn't used to dating, he wasn't used to going out with girls, and he wasn't used to girls like Adalynn talking to him. Shane was nervous and he knew it showed. Then it hit him. If Adalynn and Shane were together, she would no doubt find out about his father, and his homelife, and his brother. Shane was the different one. Jack and Henry were rutheless, revengful, justice seekers. Shane jsut stood back and watched; and got hit for it. She'd find out, then what? He wasn't sure he was prepared to lie that much to her. "Tomorrow night. Yeah."

[Adalynn Mae Shimura]

Adalynn smiled at him, Okay silly..how bout we just say we're together then? And not use the 'r' word till your ready. She said with a flirty smile. The way he blushed made her smile. She couldn't help but smile around him...he always had that affect on her...he was so sweet and silly...she just loved that about him...

She smirked at him as the testosterone kicked in, Okay Mr. Man you asked me out. She stuck out her tongue at him with and looked up into his eyes, So...tomorrow night...we can go to Vakkar...get a bite to eat...candy shop...and maybe some other things. She said with a sweet smile. She tapped his nose with her finger tip and gave another smile, Oh wow...I so need to find an outfit... She said with wide eyes...Meet me tomorrow in front of the school okay? She asked with a grin.

She smiled at him and stood up on her toes...leaning upward and kissing him sweetly against her lips. She game him a sweet smile before kissing him and skipping off...she needed to get to her dorm so she could try on several outfits...
