Meeting in the Middle

[Kayden Night]

Out of Character:

I've had such a hard time starting this sorry

Kayden walked throught the gardens of Beauxbatons looking for the Quidditch Pitch. He was slightly confused but due to the girls which were eyeing him he pretended to just be strolling. After about a half an hour he gave up and sat on a bench. Pulling out his Guide to Quidditch he began to read for awhile. It gave him peace of mind but he knew he needed to get over to the Pitch at some point today. Glancing up he noticed a person walking that hadn't noticed him yet. He watched for a few moments before standing up and walking over to the girl. "Hi, I'm Kayden," he said to the girl in French. Figuring it was not a girl from his team it had to be one from this school and so she'd probably speak French, but he wasn't sure he'd get everything right. Kayden did know how to ask where the Pitch was however.

 

[Mizelea Brooks]

As the last remaining quidditch team captain in Beauxbaton, Mizelea wanted to compete with the other schools. Since there won't be any use of competing with her schoolmates, as there weren't enough members. For the past few days, she's been hearing about rumors that quidditch players from Salem are challenging them for a game. Of course it was only a rumor and most of it wasn't true, if it was she'd known herself. Ignoring such news, the prefect made her way to the gardens as she'll most likely pass by through to achieve her true destination, the quidditch pitch. She wasn't exactly dressed in her gear, since it's all for the sake of practice. At the same time she hope that she can attract more interested players to join her team. Maybe after she could hold a meeting for the remaining quidditch players but it was unlikely to happen as they were no where to be found. She have heard that some transferred to different schools and it's hard enough to decided whether to accept games from different schools. There was no stress at all for her part, since it not of a bit deal to worry about either. Several students were looking at her probably wondering if they'll be accepting any offer or about the rumors that Salem wants to compete with them. Mizelea bit her tips and ignored them, though a smile still painted on her glowing face. She stopped for a moment when she noticed a boy approaching here, seemingly unknown to her.

He wasn't dressed in their uniform nor did he looked like a student from Beauxbaton, since she particularly recognize and remember everyone in the school. The stranger introduced himself and Mizzy wondered why on earth will he do that in this very day, there were only a few reason she can think of. One is that his interested, either being a friend, joining her team and the last she have no idea what to call it. She quickly raised one of her eyebrow then looked at him for a while, he wasn't that bad looking at all. Blonde and quite sturdy, "Hello Kayden." a bit of confusion in her voice. It was awkward, this is awkward, to be approached by a complete stranger who's stating his name. She didn't want to be rude or anything but she thought that it wasn't the right time to give her name. Mizzy's Texan accent swirling around her voice, some people would think she French but she's not. Though she does know the language and how to speak of it as well. Also not all students in Beauxbaton are French and only a few can really speak French, one example is Mizelea. She waited for the boy to mutter some more words, as she hoped he was just lost or something. Now isn't really a good time for her to be entertaining anyone, she could stay for a few minutes but later on she'll be needed on the pitch.

 

[Kayden Night]

Kayden brushed the hair from his face waiting for her reply. He was suprised that the girl did not introduce herself as he did. Moving past it he knew he'd have to ask how to get out of the gardens and over to the Pitch. His team had come to Beauxbatons because they had been accepted in playing a game with one of the teams here. However it seemed none of the Beauxbatons teams were up to playing them. He was disappointed, however he knew the team wouldn't leave without a game, even if they had to start having their teachers Owl the lessons to them. The young man cleared his throat before talking again, slightly nervous. "Could you tell me where the Pitch is?" Kayden asked of the girl standing in front of him. She was not the tallest of girls out there, being wuite a few inches shorter then him. She seemed to be confused as to why he came up to her and he figured she must not be one of the popular girls or something. A girl which no one really liked, he didn't mind either way. Of course this guy didn't know that the Beauxbatons students seemed to wear their uniforms in and out of classes. At Salem, once they left class it was out of the uniforms and into more comfortable clothing before the next class where they'd change back. Of course the schedule there was different then most. They'd have two in the morning and then a long break in the middle of the say for lunch, studying, Quidditch practice, which was also held in the morning before classes and at night on a rotating schedule. After the long break they's have another class around 2:30 in the afternoon. After which he'd have dinnner and later on in the night they'd have a night class and if you were taking Astronomy, you'd have that later on in the night. It seemed like a crazy schedule but that was what made Salem unique and different, plus quite cool.

 

[Mizelea Brooks]

Every Beauxbaton student know who she is, Mizelea Brooks. Prefect, Quidditch Captain, honor student and the most friendliest person in the school. Though for some reason she knew that students outside Beauxbaton were clueless of her status, still if they play Quidditch they'll recognize her. She wondered if the said boy is really lost, he didn't like his angst face. And the way the girls would look at her made her clueless, there was something about him that made her want to turn her back towards him. "I'm going there, you could just follow me." bluntness in her words. Mizelea could easily read his eyes, which made her change mood. Not everyone knew her and with this, they would always see her as this tiny brunette with full lips who's nothing. Nothing. She hated being judged even by their looks, and this was no exception to be serious. As far as she know, their team didn't agreed on any game. Even their headmistress didn't accepted anything, although she made a proposition, it was still being thought on. Mizelea had the right to held a game, and after a few weeks their headmistress agreed to allow her decided for her team. With the lack of players, she knew it wasn't time to held a game. In which she wondered why there were rumors, besides it was her field now. The prefect turned her back at the boy, hoping he'll get the signal for him to follow her.

The pitch seems to crowded today with strangers but not much filled the place, she sighed wondering what it is now that they want? She recognized a few people from Salem, and approached them with her fist held tight close ignoring the boy behind him. "If you're looking for a game, then better go back to Salem. I didn't accepted anything." she said to all of them. Mizelea's arms were now crossed, her voice fierce and strong. She may be a giddy and bubbly teenager but when it comes to the rules and like, there was no need to act happy about this one. Mizelea was the only one who was allowed to visit the pitch anytime, since she's done with her classes and doing her duties as a one of the prefect in school. There was a lot of free time to visit the pitch, practice her skills and have meetings as well. Her eyes stayed the same, bright and bold but not filled with anger, just a bit annoyance on the side. At the same time he looked at the boy named Kayden, this time she fixed her hair and placed it at the back of her shoulders. Mizelea's prefect badge shining at him, it didn't took her long to memorize his face. Wondering if he's one of them, Salem Students. There was nothing wrong about them, she even know her first mentor who graduated from Salem. The irksome of them being there unnoticed made her wrinkle her nose, she'll wait them to leave and she know they will.

You could have warned me where our topic would go.

 

[Kayden Night]

Kaydenwas suprised by the girl's bluntness and almost rude tones coming from her. But it was nice to know that there was atleast two girls at Beauxbatons that did not get caught up with foriegn boys which they deemed good looking. The other had been Corey who he met out in the woods after running from some enthusiastic female students. "Alright," he replied to the girl following along behind her as she went from the gardens to the Pitch. Once there he noticed as few of his teammates hanging around the enterence, but not the whole team. The girl infront of him seemed to get even more uptight when she noticed them and instantly told them off once they had gotten up closer.

The team's captain was pretty upset at her words and came out from the few standing there to the girl. He was the toughest member on the team and Kayden knew he had alot to make up for coming up in the next year when he took over as Captain. Pretty much the best player they've seen for years, the guy had trained Kayden into becoming the great chaser he was today. "Your own Headmistress told ours that we could come for a game. However it seems she might have memory problems and forgot to tell you. Of course if you are that scared, we can just take the Floo Network over to Durmstrang, I'm sure those guys would be up for game. They are never scared wimpy girls." Kayden watched as the guy who he thought was the Man, try to get a game out of the girl in front of him. Of course Kayden sensed the girl wasn't one to back down, but there seemed to be another reason why she would refuse a game with them. He didn't know the girl and everything about her, so he waited to hear her response to the Salem Captain.

 

[Mizelea Brooks]

This was one of the days where the brunette wasn't in the mood to be happy, with the rumors and Salem team arriving so unexpected. Besides just by the look of Kayden, she knew he was judging her in a way she really hates. There was no need to sound happy about it either, as they were now in Quidditch Pitch. Mizelea still crossed her arms, with a straight face. Ignoring almost everyone out there but only her eyes focused on the boy who seems to be their team captain. "Indeed you are right, she passed the decisions to me when it comes to Quidditch here." her voice bold and fierce. She wasn't scared at all though she worries that they do lack members and they have a lot of things to be done by this time. Also she was the only one allowed here, as the rest were in their classes. A smile spread her face, mocking him. "We're not scared and we're not not wimpy, we just don't break the rules for the sake of playing with amateurs." Mizelea's face lighten up and in an instant she turned her back, ignoring the boy named Kayden. This wasn't her fault, no one's. After this she could just ask their headmistress about this.

As quick as that, Mizelea decided to leave them there. Let them better go to Durmstrang if they want a game. Everything would be easier if they had a complete team but they didn't, she wouldn't have enough time to find them. As far as everyone's concern, Mizelea wasn't an arrogant person. She didn't had a high pride to say no to anything at all, though she prefers to say yes most of the time. And to be in the middle of something, Mizzy hated this position. She then left the pitch and saw some eyes were looking at her, she smiled at them ignoring their thoughts might be. The prefect knew there was no reason to hate the world at all.

 

[Kayden Night]

Kayden shrugged his shoulders at his Captain as the girl turned her back and left the area. A few of htem had noticed that he had turned up with the girl and urged him to follow and talk it out with her, since it seemed the two Captains would not get along at all. Rolling his eyes Kayden agreed and went to catch up with the girl who was on her way out of the Pitch headed who knows where. "Hey! Wait up!" He said as sprinted to catch up. The young man was not at all out of shape, and it wasn't very hard to catch up to the girl, however he just hated to run. He did enjoy long walks on the beach at dusk with..uhum, Different time and place. "My I ask another question of you?" He said to the girl now in English after hearing her definite American accent when she had spoken to the Salem Quidditch captain. Red did hope the girl was angry with himself or any of their teammates, as they were all upset just like herself. Most of the teams they have been playing weren't up to the same level as them and they came hoping for a challenge.

 

[Mizelea Brooks]

There was no need to return back there, she might just cast some hexes on them if something bad would occur. As she turned her back and was on her way to the castle. Mizzy heard someone shouting at her, she hoped that it wasn't Salem's team captain, because she was done talking to him. The brunette inhaled some air then exhaled it before looking who it was. Kayden. What does he want now? She really didn't get it why he wanted to talk to her in the first place if he'll only judge her. "What is it that you want now?" she replied in a tired voice. There was no use to argue with him, it would be pointless. At first she hesitated at his question but it was unlikely of her to ignore his question. "I'm really tired now, can you just give me a break." she sighed really wanting to go back to her dorm. Mizelea could feel her whole body shutting down, she wanted to just got to her bed and sleep. Maybe when she'l wake up, she'll think that the whole incident was a dream or preferably a nightmare. If only she could sprint her way out of her, escape from the boy's question.

After what happened, she knew that the boy's question would be mean or insulting probably.Mizelea looked at the boy closely, his features were noticeable and his face was kind of soft. Not the type of guy he was looking for, it seems so suspicious. She folded her arms crossed and decided to continue on her walk, going back inside the castle. Maybe sulk later on or something, it's still unknown. A few students saw them and she just shrugged it off, this was not the time to smile. The prefect watched her legs march their way to the corridors, it wasn't that late nor was it early but she really needs a nap. While walking, Mizelea removed her ponytail away from her hair, leaving her luscious brown hair fell on her shoulders.

 

[Kayden Night]

Kayden ran his hand through his hair as the girl seemed to not really want to be bothered by him again. "Um, well I guess it doesn't matter really. Nevermind. Sorry to have wasted your time," he said to the girl before turning away and walking back towards the Quidditch pitch. He didn't really understand girls, or how their minds work. She had seemed like a nice person when he first approached her, but then she got all uptight and not very nice at all. Before he said anything to get her even more upset he decided it would be best to walk away. He learned his patience from his twin sister Georgiana. While they practiced Quidditch over breaks and such he noted how she seemed to just be enjoying the time when no one was around and she was just watching the quaffle be passed on the other side of the pitch. She told him it was because she had patience and knew that soon the action would come back to her and she'd have a lot to do so she enjoyed the time where she got a break from blocking. Kayden knew he had to learn this patience of his sister.
