Stacey opened the commonroom door and sighed noisely. "Why must guys be so stupid?" She asked the only other person in the room. "Why?" She flung herself into an armchair.
Sky laughed. "So girls look smarter." She said. She had been laying on the couch with red and black pajama pants and black tank top. She had a book sitting on her stomach.
Nate was walking into the room just as he had heard their conversation. He was deciding whether or not he should walk in or not, or just leave and go back to bed. He moved away and then jerked back. Good thing nobodys watching me, i must look like a total freak, he said to hiself, making him feel even more mental. Ehh i already appear to be mental, i might as well ... He walked through the door frame and sat on a fluffy chair beside the two girls,"Am i allowed to be part of this conversation, or am i like all of those other stupid guys?" he asked.
" Yes, you are. " Albus appeared from nowhere, right behind Stacey, leaning on the armchair she was sitting in. He had snuck behind Stacey since he had seen her a corridor away, and, wanting to scare her, he went for it. But, she walked too fast, so now was the time he had catched up with her.
" Every guy is stupid in a girls view!" Albus said, taking off his school hat, and throwing it in a corner,
revealing his nutty brown hair. He shaked his hair, then asking, " What's wrong?"
"Your welcome to join in if you really want to. I don't think you two are stupid. If you want to know who's stupid, go talk to a Malfoy." Sky said to Nate with a small smile.
She looked at Albus. "I don't think all guys are stupid. Just a majority." She sat up slowly and sat her book on the floor. She had been reading a thick novel, just a little over half way through it. She leaned back against the couch.
"Yeah why is it that girls think automatically that the majority of guys are considered stupid. It should be sexist or something," he said joking. He shuffled his feet, trying to get comfortable on the chair.
Billie came threw the window and caught part of the conversation. "Sky, Malfoys not stupid, just misunderstood" She said slightly serious. Billie smiled and walked over to were Stacey was sitting and sat on the arm of the chair. "so whos being stupid to you Stacey?" She asked.
"Its not that we think that the majority of them are stupid, Its that we know they are because most of us have been hurt by a guy, and some of us have been hurt to many times, not to even trust guys" Billie said as her smile slightly faded. "I'm guessing that Stacey here, has been hurt one to many times, and is tired of it" Billie said.
"Hi nate. Hi Albus. Hi Sky. Hi Billie." Stacey said. "No, Billie, I have not gone through what you just said. I`m glad all of you care enough to want to know who he is and what he did, but I can take care of him." Stacey looked around and smilied. "Not all guys are stupid. Some are, some just act like it sometimes." She sighed again.
"Gosh! Take a joke!" Sky said, smiling. She looked over at Nate. "Nobody is actually stupid. They might act that way sometimes, but they aren't ever stupid. Actually, I know alot of guys who are really nice and smart."
Stacey closed her eyes. "Same goes for me. But sometimes, people act stupid so much of the time that you start to forget the times they aren`t stupid."
Sky shook her head. "Anyway." She said. "Why do you think guys are stupid. Something happen?"
"Oh then I guess its just me whos had that happen to me. Then again I've had ages to get used to it" Billie said smiling. "Are you sure theres no one for me to kill or beat up or drain their blood?" Billie asked completely serious. "most of the guys I know are complete A$$'s" Billie said. "They don't care about anyone, but themselves" Billie said and then fell silent as guys names ran through her mind.
Stacey smiled. "Sometimes people don`t know when enough is enough." She said, meaning more than one thing.
((we should wait for the guys))
(sure I guess)
Billie just sat there and smiled a small smile as she looked around. But she didn't say anything.
Rheese walked through the common room door and almost just walked by the group. He stopped and said "Hey guys what are yall doing is somethig wrong?" Rheese asked.
Stacey opened her eyes and looked at Rheese. "Yea, just a guy being stupid. But don`t worry, I have it taken care of." She stood up. "Enough of my moping. What do you guys wanna do?"
"First do you even want to tell us what he did, or who he was?" Billie asked.
"I would, but I`m thinking better of it right now." Stacey replied.
Nate smiled as he just caught up with the conversation."Are you sure," he asked jokeingly,"I mean if theres any stupid guy out there that u want me to beat up or get into a coma ill be happy to do it."
"Woah, I already called beating the kid." Billie said seriously with a small on her face.
"Guys, just, please stop." Stacey said. "Please just, stop. I`m really greatful that you guys care enough about me to put someone in a coma for me, but I can take care of it." She smiled at her friends. "Really, I am."
"Okay, but if you ever need someone to hurt someone. I call it" Billie said smiling.
Stacey smiled. "Okay Billie, I get it!" She exclaimed with laughter in her voice.
Nate made a evil glare at Billy," I could do it better." He then smiled showing he was joking.
"How about I just kill him, and you two can watch?"
Billie glared back at Nate. "Who about I kill Nate and then I'll kill the other guys?" Billie suggested with a smile on her face. "I could so kill you easily" Billie said laughing.
"Billie, drop it."
Billie smiled at Stacey. "You should know I was only kidding, gosh" Billie said then mumbled something that sounded like- I wouldn't kill him just hurt him badly. "Woah since when do I listen to someone younger then me?" Billie asked her with a smile on her face.
"I`m very mature for my age." Stacey said grimly.
Nate smiled," You know billy theres this rope hanging from a tree near the lake, would you like me to show you how to use it." he said mischeiviously.
Stacey raised an eyebrow. "I hope you don`t mean what I think you mean." Stacey said mischeivoisly.
"If you mean me linching her or hanging her to death then yes, if not then no," he said with a smile.
"Okay, I just got confused. But okay." She smiled back.
Billie raised her eyebrows. "Ha like you could keep me still long enough to hang me. You would be knocked out long before that" Billie said. "I seriously don't think you even know how to use a rope, I learn about 37 years ago by one of the best" Billie said proudly.
He smiled, folding his arms and leaned back," Oh i dont know about that, i learned on how to tie rope when i was three years old on a sailing trip for 70 years," he said cooll.
(haha okay i meant to say days, oops. my bad :))
"So how old are you?" Billie asked. She knew he couldn't be to old, but knew he deffinetly wasn't 13.
"I still think I could whip you easily" Billie mumbled.
(lol its okay)
"How old are both of you exactly?" Stacey asked, crossing her arms.
"Lets just say tectically I'm old enough to be your grandmother" She said smiling.
"And you?" She asked, looking at Nate.
He smiled and pointed at Billie," Well im definately not as old as her. Im only 16 gonna be 17 soonish. Wait what about you?"
"And thats why I'm more mature then both of ya'll, and have a lot more experience in a lot more things" Billie said with a smug smile on her face.
Nate smiled," Haha i bet you are. But ill learn when im older so its all good."
Stacey smiled. "Wow, and you both look so young." She turned to face Billie. "I feel so underage in your presence." She said sarcastically.
"You are a youngen!" Billie said and smiled.
"Yea, well," She glanced at Nate. "I may be young, but I know what I`m talking about."
Nate smiled," I totally agree with her."
Stacey looked sideways at Nate. "Like you would know." She smiled. "I guess you just could tell because I`m soooo smart."
He smiled and shoved her playfuly with his shoulder,"Oh yeah cause your soo smart." He joked.
"You better believe it!" She said, shoving him back.
"You know your very abusive," he joked putting on his innocent smile. He rubbed his shoulder pretending he was hurt,"Gosshh." Then he smiled like a dork.
Stacey rolled her eyes but smiled. "Yea, whatever, wimp."
Nate smiled back forgetting that everyone was there. His eyes sparkled as he looked into her eyes. He blushed slightly.
Stacey also realized that other people where in the room. "Follow me." She whispered so only he could here. She walked out of the room and led him to the Room of Requierments.
Nate followed her happy to be away from the others and only with her. "Okay," he said in a whisper.
When they reatched to Room of Requierments, Stacey opened the door to find a fireplace, couch, and two big armchairs. It looked like the coomon room. She led him over to the couch where she sat down.
Nate plopped onto the couch next to Stacey and looked at her with his brillian dark eyes,"I think i need to tell you something," He said in a whisper.
Stacey slowly turned her head to face him. "I need to tell you something too, but you go first."
He took a deep breath and whispered,"I think im falling for you."
Tears emerged in Stacey`s eyes, she really hoped Nate didn`t notice. She stepped closer to him. "I love you." Sh whispered.
He looked at her innocently feeling his mind explode with a burst of happiness. He smiled and then said,"Thanks...now what did you want to tell me?"
Stacye`s eyes fell a darker shade of blue. "Oh, nevermind. It was nothing." She said in a soothing voice.
Nate looked at her sadly,"You will never tell me..."
Stacey looked up into his eyess, her own a miserable shade of dark blue. There were tears in her eyes and her voice shook as she spoke. "I wish I could."
Nate looked up her with sad eyes and said smoothly,"Why cant you? You know you can trust me and i promise i wont get mad?" He then slightly whispered slightly said,"Promise."
"I just don`t want to hurt you." Stacey replied quietly.
Nate sighed," The only thing hurting me right now is that you wont tell me because your afraid of my reaction and how id feel."
Stacey hated how Nate could read her so well. "Yes, but I also don`t want to say it beacause it means the end."
His face began to turn a light pink,"Yeah well how bad is it?" He asked innocently.
"Bad." Stacey said quietly.
Nate sighed,"d**n...i..i may not know what it is but i really think you should just tell me..."
Stacey looked down at the ground. "I`m sorry." She whispereed. "But we can`t be together."
He slid his head down and looked down at his shoes. Then he took a deep breath and said sadly,"Okay...at least you know how i feel about you..." He shuffled his feet uncomfortably.
Stacey gently put her hand on Nate`s shoulder. "I know." She whispered.
Nate shrugged her arm off of him, feeling awkward. As if a break up wasnt enough, he still had feelings for her."No, just leave me alone," he said sharply.
Stacey drew in a sharp breath. She didn`t want it to end up this way, but it had to. "Okay." She whispered. She took a few steps back.
Nates eyes looked hurt. He looked down sadly feeling like a jerk and shuffled his feet with his hands slipped in his pockets, then he said softly,"No please dont go." He looked up slowly to see what she would do.
Stacey looked up into Nate`s dark eyes. She didn`t want to go. Her own eyes were dark ble and filled with longing, sadness, and regret.
He stuttered,"I..I mean can we just talk. We dont even have to talk about," He shuffled his feet,"the break up. I mean we can talk about..um school and other stuff..."
Stacey`s lower lip trembled softly. She was glad he had stopped her from leaving. "Okay." She whispered.
He looked awkwardly at her,"Um..so hows school going?"
Stacey`s eyes softened. "Um, good." She answered slowly.
Nate let out a breath,"Thats...always good." He felt horrible, even though he tried hard to cover it with a smile.
Stacey`s eyes swirled an olive green in uncertantyy. "How are you doing on Divination?"
"Well..uhh good.." he sighed,"Actually not too well but its allright."
Stacey nodded, but hadn`t the faintest idea of what to say now.
Nate shook his head out of deep thought,"So anyways what have you been doing lately?"
