Open Broken Hearted

[Callie Cardoso]

Being broken up with just before a school dance wasn't perhaps the most fun thing in the world. Callie had had plans to go to the ball with him, and now she was without, and part of her thought she should ignore the ball alltogether, but in the end, she had come, because she liked the ball. She didn't want to be denied things just because she'd have to be alone. She tried to do her make up nice and tried to put on her best dress and then went to the dance, hoping she could still manage to have a good time, even alone. She grabbed herself a juice and tried to not feel jealous of the other couples.

Oskar had always been too scared to go to any of the school events so far, and while his wardrobe situation hadn't changed he was getting tired of missing out on everything. He was extremely under dressed compared so most people but he planned to keep to the edge of the party as to not attract too much attention to the fact he didn't belong. But he had gotten thirsty and made his way to the drinks and started to serve himself. Of course he couldn't even do that right and ended up knocking the cup over, right in the direction of a girl in a pretty dress. "I didn't get any on you did I?" he asked, his voice tight with panic.

Callie wasn't really paying attention to what she was doing, she was sure she wouldn't see Dante here, but then again, if she did and he was with someone else that would add insult to injury. However, in not paying attention, she didn't realise until it was too late and suddenly, her dress was covered in whatever juice someone had had in a cup. "Oh," she looked up at the boy and gave a tight but sympathetic expression. "It's okay, it'll wash out," she assured him. It wasn't like her night would be helped if she was angry at this boy.

As Oskar took in the mess he made he could feel his face getting red and hot. His stomach felt like he had swallowed lead as guilt threatened to swallow him whole. He spared a glance at her face and while her words seemed calm and composed he could sense the tightness in her expression, something he was good at picking up on, and he started to spiral farther. "I am so sorry." he insisted as his mind started to race for anyway to make things right. Finally he realized that since he was wearing his regular clothes he actually had his wand with him. "I can clean it....it's a simple charm." he offered while wishing the ground would swallow him whole. "If you want my help." he added incase she wanted him to disappear too.

Callie looked at his wand as he took it out and then looked down at her dress. She nodded. "Please?" she didn't have her wand on her, hadn't even really thought about doing that, just wanted to try to ignore Dante, to ignore the way being here alone made her feel. She didn't want to start crying in front of this boy.

Oskar nodded so quickly when she said please he thought his head might fall off. But at her request he got to work. He cast the cleaning charm and was careful to keep his distance while making sure she was spotless. He wasn't the best student but his spellwork had always come easy to him and it was a second year charm after all. "There..." he said finally with is brow furrowed after a minute or two of work. "I think I got it all." he sighed as some of his guilt started to ease up on him. He wasn't sure what to do now but thought it would probably best to leave food and drink alone for now. "I hope I didn't ruin your night. In case you were waiting for someone..." he trailed off not really sure what he was trying to say. "I just mean you look nice, I didn't want to ruin it."
