In Need of Company

[Crystal Hayden]

Out of Character:

Okay, so with this character I've done a total overhaul, so if you met her before,
then you'll have to pretend you met this version rather than the previous.

Crystal Sasaki Hayden wasn't the type of girl who didn't try. Hell, she gave everything a shot as long as it wouldn't cause her real harm. The only real exception being if it was raining. Crystal Sasaki hated rain. She hated it more anything in the world. A weird thing to hate, but Crystal would never ever say she even remotely liked rain. Not even a small accidental hint. Crystal had been sick most her first year. Nothing serious, just a never shifting flu. And it was only as it neared the end of term that Crystal Sasaki was finally able to leave her dorm without the fear of being reinfected or infecting others. It angered that the hospital had not managed to help in anyway. Crystal was sure that was there job. And Crystal Sasaki believed in everyone doing there job. It was probably why Crystal had no real intentions of getting a job. It wasn't a matter of not wanting to try, just sheer laziness and belief that she was above. After all, work could ruin her well tidied hair, her perfectly cut and filed nails and depending on the job she would run the risk of getting something in her eyes or on her clothes. Crystal wasn't sure why any person would actually actually want to work, but she was glad since other people could do what she was too lazy to do. Crystal Sasaki had gotten the notes for most of the year off a friend and was now just needing to copy them up. A long stupid process which Crystal really as she thought more about it couldn't be bothered doing. It was most unfortunate for her that she had to them, and quickly. Since exams were right around the corner. And she had to do them. Crystal was, as could probably be told by her to-hell-with-it attitude, not in the slightest studious. She tried. And she worked if she really needed to, but it was getting her to the point that was most challenging. Crystal Sasaki knew that it would be her own fault if she did terribly in her exams. But that didn't make her want to take out the books and get down to a little work.

It was just after her last class on the First Friday of May. And Crystal Sasaki Hayden wasn't in the brightest of mood. She'd found it extremely hard to stay awake in class. It didn't help that the weather had turned outside and it was raining. Nothing made Crystal lazier than rain. Rain was Crystal Sasaki's arch enemy. However Crystal's day was far from over, she had more work to do. Being sick for almost the entire term was not a good thing. Not at all, it didn't help that Crystal Sasaki had just realised how much work she had to catch up on. Crystal knew that in reality, she was really going to have to apply her self and just that thought made Crystal feel sick to her stomach. Walking towards the Student lounge, Crystal Sasaki Hayden was reapplying her lip gloss, and attract a few stares from her multitasking. Crystal Sasaki often walked and reapplied lip gloss. It was a force of habit. She walked reasonably fast (with an air of I'm-better-than-you) with her books held in her hand. She'd not bothered to stuff them within her bag that was hanging on her shoulder. Crystal Sasaki was of course dressed in Slytherin uniform, it wasn't put together perfectly, it was a messy perfect. Her tie was lose, and not at all tied in the proper fashion. Her shirt was short sleeved and around the waist too big for her, so it hang out above her skirt. Her skirt, was verging upon a mini skirt. In most people's eyes Crystal was dressed pretty poorly, but Crystal loved it. And not to mention she was wearing the cloak/robe thing that came with the uniform. It made Crystal feel almost bat like when she walked fast and it flapped behind her. Crystal entered the Student lounge and was glad to find it quiet and practically empty. Crystal looked round the room, and then decided upon a desk not too the far from the door. Crystal Sasaki wanted a quick exit root. She placed her books onto the desk and sat down. She threw her bag down beside her and from her shirt pocket pulled out a pen.

Although the action was a little disgusting Crystal Sasaki Hayden absentmindedly put the pen in her mouth and began to chew on the end. It was a habit she'd managed to pick and something she did whenever she was using a pen. She was making notes and reading through the notes her roommate had made. Crystal looked up from her work ever so often. Wondering if any girl or boy would walk over to her. Save her from the boredom of work. Crystal Sasaki was aware that she probably wasn't looking too friendly, since she was in quite a mood because of the weather and from the work she had to do. But, Crystal was aware that her light brown eyes and smile sometimes gave a look of innocence. So, Crystal kept working, biding her time, and waiting for someone to talk to her so she could throw the work off the desk and leave it for another day.

 

[Willow Autumn]

Willow Autumn made her way towards the Student Lounge, smiling to herself that this was the one place she found without meaning to go there at all. The memories of wandering in on a crisp spring day, sitting next to the window in a plush purple couch trying to write her herbology essay when in fact she was writing sheet music, the time she met a quiet boy named Stefan. The room was quite special to Willow, it may seem normal and a hang out place where all the students can mingle together without worrying which house they were in, but to Willow it was the place where she made her first friends, the friends who came from different parts of the world, the friends with the different background stories and life experiences. Humming, she lost track of reality, sucked up in her own world, repeating memories over in her head, she turned around the corridor and made for the door of the student lounge.

Walking in, Willow lost her sense of direction, walking into a table that was near the door, knocking the flower vase that sat upon it, on the floor. Willow, snapped out of her happy memories and felt the pinkish heat rising to her cheeks, she noticed another student in the room, looking a little moody and annoyed; "Oh god, uh..sorry. um." Willow quickly rushed to pick up the flower vase and placed it back on the table before picking up the dripping flowers off the ground.
I'm a first year...oh this is going to look brilliant.

Sorry for replying late!

 

[Crystal Hayden]

Crystal didn't notice much as she began to look up less and became more focused on her work. It really didn't take too much, there was hardly anyone, and no one who was her age. Crystal couldn't imagine any slightly older student coming over to her and getting into any form of conversation with her. It just did not happen, and in a sense Crystal was happy, she didn't want to have to listen to other first years when she was one of the older students. Crystal was the type to only speak to people that were her age and close to it. And by close she meant, no more than 2 younger or older. Crystal was quickly writing rattling through the work which was in front of her, but it was as she focused less on what her mind was saying and focusing more on what the paper was saying that Crystal Sasaki Hayden's concentration when someone bumped into the table. It caused Crystal to draw a line through her work. She wasn't very pleased, which person didn't see that there was a table. Crystal looked up and stared at the girl, who quickly apologized. Another first year from what she could tell. Crystal gave a scoff, and watched as the girl made to go pick up the flowers. Then Crystal realised that the girl was a gryffindor. Crystal Sasaki was not all about pureblood and blood status but she did feel pretty strongly about Slytherin's position on the social chain. "hey, it's okay, you don't worry about it" Crystal southern American accent drove through. There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice, but very little. "it's what you'd expect from a little Gryffindor." Crystal, didn't take her eyes off the girl. She was blushing slightly. It made Crystal smile, and this smile was not a very one. Not in the slightest. Crystal folded away her belongs, all but the essay she'd been writing she looked down at it. "I mean, Gryffindors, being the most stupid of all the houses, are the type to walk into tables that are in plain view. But, at least hold on to the thought that you aren't a hufflepuff. God, then you'd be in no luck."

Crystal wasn't usually mean. She tried her best to be nice to people, but sometimes, people annoyed her, and she generally didn't let it go. "Take a look at the homework, that you had made me ruin. The professor is not going to want to mark something that has a huge black line through it. But, hey, it's okay, because you said sorry, and attempted to tidy up the messy. To show how sorry you really are, I think it would be right for you to rewrite my homework for me. Considering that it is your fault." Crystal smiled again as she finished. She didn't care if she handed in something with a huge line through it. As long as she had something to hand in, Crystal was fine with it. Crystal just wanted to annoy the girl. Have a little bit of fun.
