O HAI, MR. SPIDER.

[adelaide]

Adelaide was just walking by the third floor corridor, for no particular reason. You know, just doing her thing. Actually, Adelaide's conscious, Kirsty, could not figure any reason why she would initially be there. SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY CLASSES ON THE THIRD FLOOR OR ABOVE. So, yeah. You can see where Kirsty's problems lie. ANYWAY. Yeah. Addie was just getting her walk on. Ever since her fallout with B-Money Joyner and somebody insulting her dance skillz at the Yule Ball, Adelaide wasn't exactly the brightest star around. She just kind of moped, not liking the feeling of being disliked all too much. Her tween emotional maturity levels just couldnt handle it.

Adelaide moping wasn't like most moping, though. She was still very cheery and outgoing, just not as forward with it. Ever since B-Money ran from her days before, she was trying to watch whatever she said to people. Addie rounded a corner, smiling sweetly at a group of students who were strangers to her. Normally, she would have probably attacked and roped one of them into conversation, like a herd of buffalo. That day, though, she didn't feel up to it.

Adelaide was about to just discontinue her random walk and head back to the Hufflepuff Common Room, but then something on the ground caught her eye. "Ooh." She breathed out, getting on her knees ( ) to get a closer look. Upon closer inspection, Adelaide discovered it was a HUGE, FRICKIN' SPIDER OMGOMGOMGOMG RUN AWAY. Haha. No. Addie really wasn't afraid of spiders. She was too cool for that nonsense.

"Hi, Mr. Spider, sir!" Adelaide greeted the spider cheerfully. IT SCURRIED AWAY. Immediately, Addie took off on her knees, following the little yellow and black creature. WOAHDANG. Hufflepuff colors. "HEY! STOP! YOU CAN BE THE HUFFLEPUFF PET!" She screamed entirely too loud for the situation, but dangit, she was distraught. 'I'll feed you, care for you, and brush your maaaaane!" She whined childishly, still crawling behind the little thing. She would have made a grab for it, but then she might have squished it. She didn't want that.

"Where are you goi-" Her question was left hanging in the air as the spider flitted under a doorway, out of her view. Addie gasped. SHE COULDN'T LOSE IT'S TRAIL. Savagely, she pushed the door open, scanning the floor in search for her new friend. He was nowhere to be seen. OH WELL.

Adelaide stood up, brushing her Hufflepuff uniform off. "Well, that was the quite the adventure." She muttered to herself. Looking around, Adelaide began to realize where she was at. The urinals. The smell. The darkness. It was practically like a dungeon. Dear Merlin.

SHE WAS IN THE BOYS' BATHROOM!

Instantly, Adelaide opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out. It was like a nightmare! BOY GERMS WERE EVERYWHERE! The poor girl dived underneath a nearby sink, cowering in the fetal position. Maybe, just maybe, if she didn't move they wouldn't see her.

[Reserved for B-Money.]

[Blake Joyner]

Got to go, Got to go, Got to go, Got to go, Got to go.... Blake had to go. His eleven year old bladder was failing him once again, as he fast-walked down the corridor. Shoving kids smaller than him out of the way... which was a rare occurrence as he was only a first year. But he also ducked past all the taller kids, or if necessary crawled on his hands and knee's between there legs. IT WAS A CRUCIAL SITUATION FOLKS NO TIME TO MINGLE.

Then he came to a point where a small group of students (most likely the same group Lemonade had passed) were blocking the hallway. But Blake was a bright kid... He could figure this thing out. "FIRE!!!" He shouted loudly running like a madman through the corridor... but it worked as the group quickly scurried away. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Lemonade already embarrassed him enough... he didn't need an "accident" too happen on top of that. He'd forever be known as the "Sophia loving kid that pee'd his pants". And thats just not a nifty nickname... Much worse than B-Money.

Finally he was narrowing in on the Boys Bathroom and he knew sweet relief was in sight. Walking into the Bathroom he headed straight for the stall not wasting time to search his surroundings. The urinals were too tall for most of the first years. After finishing his business... and making him feel a whole lot better he headed over to the sink to wash his hands. Thats when he spotted her...

That's right it was Lemonade... right there under the sink in the fetal position. Why? THAT WAS IRRELEVANT.... The simple fact was that she was there.. and he was there.. and well that could just not work. Okay well... This could be fixed... maybe she never even saw him. Slowly backing up as if he had stumbled upon a rattlesnake he backed himself towards the door. He continued to slowly step backwards until he THOUGHT he was up against the door... feeling for the knob. It wasn't till after that he realized it was another student at a urinal...

".....uuhhhhhhhhh" What ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO SAY IN SUCH A SITUATION? Luckily the boy just glared at him angrily and left. Looking back over at Lemonade. "........I GOTTA GO WITH THAT GUY...." He shouted and started to follow him towards the door. Ohh dear, what a predicament.

[adelaide]

There was totally a logical way to get out of this and survive to tell about. There had to be! Sadly, no ideaS were passing through Adelaide's little brain. She didn't know what to do. HER MOTHER NEVER TAUGHT HER WHAT TO DO IN THIS SITUATION. This must've been punishment for embarassing B-Money. Death. Yeah. Adelaide was pretty sure she was going to die underneath that sink. It was wonder she hadn't keeled over from pure terror. She just stayed huddled, eyes darting back and forth in utter horror. THE GERMS WERE ADVANCING. Oh my God, oh my god, oh my god. Why didn't she carry hand sanitizer like a soccer mom? WHY?! She was a goner.

Adelaide stopped her sad mental tirade, blinking dumbly as a boy she had never seen entered the bathroom. HER RESCUER?! No. The boy completely didn't see the blonde, walking up to a nearby urinal. Oh, God. He wasn't going to...? OH GOD, HE WAS PEEING. Adelaide opened her mouth to scream, but once again she was silent. She turned her head so fast she got whiplash, burying her face in her hands. This was going to scar her forever.

Adelaide began to sniffle pathetically, keeping her head in her hands. This was worse than dying. It was downright cruelty. She flinched as she heard somebody else enter, also ignoring her presence, and go into a stall. SHE WAS GOING TO HEAR HIM DO THE DEED. Grossgrossgross. Instead, she heard a sound just like before. WHO PEES IN THE STALL? Somebody was self-conscious. Adelaide couldn't help but snicker at this, THOUGH THE SITUATION WAS TOTES SERIOUS.

The Hufflepuff scrounged up every bit of courage she had, slowly looking back out into the room. Standing there was B-Money. He looked like he had just seen a ghostie ghost. Adelaide wondered when he got there, since she hadn't heard a third person come in... OH GOD. She had heard B-Money going pee. He was the self-conscious kid. She was going to diiiiie.

"WHO PEES IN THE STALL?" Adelaide shrieked loudly, trying to break the awkward tension and keep him inside the bathroom with her. She didn't want to die alone. "... aren't you going to wash your hands?" EW.

[Blake Joyner]

...But it wasn't quite as easy as he had hoped. Lemonade spoke up stopping him before he could make his exit. AND MOCKED HIM NO LESS, what a mean kiddo Lemonade was too him.

"WHO PEES IN THE STALL?"

"WHAT IS A GIRL DOING IN THE BOYS BATHROOM?!?!?!" He countered her question with a very valid question of his own. And then he realized why.... she WANTED him to use the urinal. EWWW SHE WANTED TO SEE HIS WHIZZY WINKLE GROOOOOOOOOOSS. Now he felt all icky.... Lemonade wanted too see his giblets and what not. "SO YOU'RE IN THE BOYS BATHROOM JUST TOO SEE GUYS....... STUFF!!! THATS GROSS!!!"

First she touches his face... now she wants to see his stuff. Man... Lemonade LOVED cooties. She was a darn right cootie licker. But it's okay Blake was her friend anyway.... Well... EX friend... after what happened in the common room. Which was the whole reason Blake was trying to avoid her.... and he had done it well up till now... He didn't see her in the brief five minutes he was at the Yule Ball... Not even in the common room or between classes. But alas it all was for naught.... as they were both together now... In the LAST place he thought he'd see Lemonade.

"... aren't you going to wash your hands?"

"Yes, I'm going to wash my hands!" He said defensively walking to a sink farthest away from Lemonade. He washed his hands thoroughly as he looked up at the mirror in front of him. Mirror Mirror on the wall, make Adelaide disappear to the Great Hall. he shut his eyes tightly in hopes that the Mirror would doo some crazy magic. But opening them, with a hopeful look in his eye, He searched the room... and alas Adelaide was still there. he'd just have to work this thing out. "...You're mean!..." Good start.

[adelaide]

"SO YOU'RE IN THE BOYS BATHROOM JUST TOO SEE GUYS....... STUFF!!! THATS GROSS!!!"

OH HELL NAW. "EW! GROSS! WHAT THE CRAP, B-MONEY?! DON'T JOKE! DON'T JOKE!" Adelaide screamed back, officially freaked out beyond belief. SHE WOULD NEVER. "OH GOD! OH GOD! OH GOD! NOOOOOO!" She was rolling around dramatically at this point, knees still huddle up to her chest. She probably looked like she was a having a seizure... BUT, SHE WASN'T. So, all was well. Stopping her breakdown, Adelaide took a deep breath, searching her mind for a reason why she was in bathroom. The fact that it was an accident didn't cut it. "I'm just... you know... hangin' ouuuuut..." Smooth, Addie, smooth.

"OH, THANK GOD!" Adelaide sighed when Blake washed his hands. "I don't want you infecting the common room with your sicknasty." He better wash his hands every time he goes potty. Addie didn't want the swine flu. No, sir. Addie just watched Blake wash his hands in silence for a few moments. HE TOTALLY STILL HATED HER. It wasn't her fault. He started the whole ordeal. You don't just take back dances.

Adelaide hadn't seen B-Money at the dance, or she would have fixed the whole thing. She would have danced all over his hopes and dreams and they would be even. But, nooo. Blake probably thought he was too cool for dances. WELL, HE WASN'T TOO COOL FOR ADELAIDE.

Adelaide gasped dramatically as B-Money insulted her kindness. "Oh yeah?!" At this point, Addie stood up, frowning. "WELL, YOU'RE MEAN!" A creative one, that Adelaide. It was true, though Adelaide was totally the victim in all of this.

[Blake Joyner]

Then Lemonade just started to freak out because of his statement... Rolling all over the icky bathroom floor... She had guts man, the kid had guts you had to give her that.

"I'm just... you know... hangin' ouuuuut..."

"...Your idea of hanging out... is sitting on the boys bathroom floor in the fetal position?..." He said raising an eyebrow at her. That was very peculiar. But then Blake forgot all about it as she insulted him AAAAAAGAAAAAAAINNNNNN.

"I don't want you infecting the common room with your sicknasty."

Luckily Blake was too mature for a retort. So he let her have her little immature stabs at his awesomeness... His awesome was an impenetrable shield to her silly insults. HMMPH. BUT THEN.... SHE WENT TOO FAR... A BOY'S GOTTA DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE!

"WELL, YOU'RE MEAN!"

"...IM MEAN?!?!?!.... IM MEAN?!??!?... IM NOT THE ONE GOING AROUND MAKING UP RUMORS THAT YOU LIKE SOMEONE TO THE ENTIRE HUFFLEPUFF HOUSE!!!!! DID I DO THAT?? NO NO YOU DID THAT I FORGOT!!!!!!!!" He shouted turning his back on her angrily. This was some real shiznit right here folks. A boy did NOT wanna walk into this bathroom right now.... no sir... it'd be like galloping through a battlefield. But all Blake wanted to gallop to was his dorm, so he could try to pretend that he never even MET Lemonade.

[adelaide]

"...Your idea of hanging out... is sitting on the boys bathroom floor in the fetal position?..."

Adelaide didn't answer that question, ashamed that she stumbled upon the bacteria fest on accident. Her mother would have been so disappointed. A girl just can't say she was following a huge flippin' spider when she got trapped. Spiders weren't very girl-friendly and Adelaide was trying her damndest to be an actual, functioning girl. It was weird. It was either try hard, or be a boy. WHICH WAS GROSS. Her options sucked.

Adelaide smiled triumphantly as her sicknasty comment left B-Money SPEECHLESS. Oh, she was good. She was SO good. Her triumph was short-lived, though, as B-Money went on ranting about how mean she was.

SHE WAS NOT MEAN!

"...IM MEAN?!?!?!.... IM MEAN?!??!?... IM NOT THE ONE GOING AROUND MAKING UP RUMORS THAT YOU LIKE SOMEONE TO THE ENTIRE HUFFLEPUFF HOUSE!!!!! DID I DO THAT?? NO NO YOU DID THAT I FORGOT!!!!!!!!"

"OH! OH, REALLY?! I DID THAT! I'M SO SORRY FOR TRYING TO SET YOU UP WITH YOUR CRUSH! EXCUSE ME, DUDE, EXCUSE ME!" Adelaide huffed angrily, wanting to deck B-Money in the face. She would give him a concussion this time, too. "WELL, AT LEAST I'M NOT THE JERKFACE WHO ASKS PEOPLE TO DANCE AND THEN TAKES IT BACK!" Adelaide screamed just as loud as B-Money, not caring if people in the corridor heard them. Firstie fights were serious business, yo. Adelaide then began to do a butchered impression of Blake that night in the common room. "Oh, do you want to dance? AHAHAHA! JK! JK! I HATE YOU!" Okay, maybe the 'hate' part wasn't true, but it might as well have been.

[Blake Joyner]

"OH! OH, REALLY?! I DID THAT! I'M SO SORRY FOR TRYING TO SET YOU UP WITH YOUR CRUSH! EXCUSE ME, DUDE, EXCUSE ME!"

Blakes face got red like a strawbrerry. But not from embarassment from anger. GRRRRR "SHE ISNT MY CRUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"...you are... OH SNAP WOULDNT THAT BE NUTS IF HE SAID THAT ALOUD. Ehh... but they're just little firsties... So... not YET. To Blake she still had girl cooties... and too adelaide Blake had boy cooties. Sooo it just wasn't meant too be. But anywaaay BACK TO THE MATTER AT HAND

"WELL, AT LEAST I'M NOT THE JERKFACE WHO ASKS PEOPLE TO DANCE AND THEN TAKES IT BACK!"

"...." Wait.... that's why she's been such a jerky jerk face? "... Well you didn't seem to keen on the idea Miss -" He paused and then proceeded too imitate Lemonade that nigth at the common room. "...B-Money you sure your heads okay?..." It was probably not a very good reenactment... but it'd have to do.

"Oh, do you want to dance? AHAHAHA! JK! JK! I HATE YOU!"

"That wasn't it at all!!!!" he replied in his defense. "YOU were the one all 'ewwww....you're ugly and gross i dont wanna dance with you is your head okay? aahahahahahahaha i hate you" Ok... So maybe it didn't go down EXACTLY like that... BUT THATS WHAT BLAKE HEARD.

Blake took a deep breath in... his little eleven year old self couldn't take such madness. he had now quieted down quite a bit now. "...sorryisaidthatiwasjokingaboutthedancingthing... Imeaniwouldhavedancedwithyoueventhoughidontlikedacnignbecauseyourcool...." He said as quick as humanly possible and looked away.

[adelaide]

"SHE ISNT MY CRUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Denial isn't just a river in Egypt, B-Money." Oh snap. She got him good. Geographical verbal beatdown. RIGHT THERE. Adelaide could totally see it. The way he squirmed around and looked at his feet. He was the Alfalfa to her Darla, babe. Too bad Athradien was her Waldo. Poor B-Money. He'd die alone. Maybe that's why he was denying the whole thing? IT WAS NO EXCUSE TO BE MEAN, THOUGH.

"YOU were the one all 'ewwww....you're ugly and gross i dont wanna dance with you is your head okay? aahahahahahahaha i hate you"

Adelaide just scoffed as he did a horrible impression of her. She had not called him ugly! She didn't even actually say no. HEY. He can't steal her random 'i hate you'. She used that to make him seem like the bad guy! NOW, HE WAS STEALING WORDS OUT OF HER MOUTH. This boy just didn't know when to quit.

Adelaide was about to retort, but she stopped when she noticed B-Money calm down. Then, word vomit just spewed from his mouth. The only part Adelaide caught was the 'you're cool'. She smiled. "Darn tootin', I'm cool." She was so not conceited. Really. "... NOW. What did you just say, B-Money Jenkins?" Yeah. She decided to tweak his nickname a bit.

[Blake Joyner]

"Denial isn't just a river in Egypt, B-Money."

Blake scrunched his nose up and tilted his head in confusion. This girl thought there was a river named denial in Egypt? I mean there was, THE Nile river... Man silly Lemonade doesn't know the names of rivers. Plus... even if there WAS a river named Denial... that would have nothing to do with this conversation. "That's totally irrelevant" He said folding his arms. Bitches be crazy.

"Darn tootin', I'm cool."

Blake just shrugged... There was no reason for her to rub it in. That was just ruuuude... and downright arrogant. Am I right? I'm right. But then she went on too say she caught nothing else of what he said... Well why repeat it now... She'd probably just throw it back in his face, right?

"Nothing... Never mind..." This issue was just not going to be settled... Blake would just have to hate the girl forever he supposed. Ohhhh well, win some yah lose some. "Anything else?" He questioned. He figured he'd give her a chance to say something this time before he stormed out on her again. It was the gentleman thing to do after all.

[adelaide]

"That's totally irrelevant"

"It's totally..." Adelaide searched her mind for the opposite of irrelevant. She wasn't good with vocabulary. "... relevant!" Adelaide let out a frustrated sigh. She just wasted a perfectly good pun on that kid. Wasn't he supposed to be all aloof and smart!? Way to make Hufflepuffs look even more useless, dude. She was trying to show how in denial he was of his love for Sophia, but whatever. He could act all weird. It wasn't hurting Adelaide's feelings any... even though it totally was, omg.

"Nothing... Never mind..."

Adelaide rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but smile a bit. He pulled the "i'm okay, but not really" tone. Adelaide knew all about it, because her mom used it whenever she wanted something. He could just tell her. It wasn't like she'd bite his head off. WELL. Adelaide might actually, depending on what he said. Blake didn't know that, though.

"Anything else?"

"Oh, no! You're not just going to ignore me for days again, mister!" Adelaide said, stomping her foot in a stubborn manner. This wasn't going to fly with Addie. All their unresolved tension wasn't healthy. Adelaide stomped over to B-Money, getting his face so she could stare him down with her eyes of justice. "Tell me what you said." All she wanted to do was be friends with him again, even though their previous friendship was short-lived. One can never have too many friends! Plus, B-Money was just funny. He was all calm and judgemental-ish- the complete opposite of Adelaide. He was the ying to her yang, so to speak. Adelaide just thought about all the adventures she could drag him on. He'd probably make sure they wouldn't die. It was always nice to have that person.

[Blake Joyner]

Then Lemonade try to say that it was indeed relevant... WHICH WAS PREPOSTEROUS. It made Blake laugh.... quite evilly in fact. But it was just too darn funny... Trying to say there was relevance in such a phrase... it was downright SILLY. Finally he stopped laughing. "...You are funny... I'll give you that..." Wiping a tear from his eye. A Tear of laughter of course.... Such a silly statement. Needless too say.... Blake had a very different sense of humor then the one taught in Tallie's class.

"Oh, no! You're not just going to ignore me for days again, mister!"

Awww phooey sticks. "...But Im so good at it..." It was true... he avoided her quite well he must say. Ohhh well.... I guess it was all pointless now. But then Lemonade started to get all in his face and stare him down with her eyes of ickyness. ITS LIKE SHE WAS PEERING INTO HIS SOUL OF AWESOME. He could not let her penetrate her ickyness into his Soul of Awesome. So he looked away quickly. DONT LOOK HER IN THE EYES!

"...Fine fine fine...I'll tell you what I said..." He said and sighed... she wouldn't let him leave the damn bathroom otherwise. "I said... That Im sorry about the whole dance thing okay... I would have danced with you even though dancing is for squares... " He said and took a deep breath... Now you'd think he'd feel better but alas... he did not... as Lemonade's next comment was probably going to be as snarky as her last.

[adelaide]

"...You are funny... I'll give you that..."

Adelaide frowned. Now she just felt plain stupid. Wow. B-Money sure knew how to make a girl feel good about herself. Whatever. His tiny brain obviously couldn't handle her copious amounts of awesome. It was okay. Most people couldn't.

"...But Im so good at it..."

It was true. Adelaide had practically stalked him in the corridors from time to time, lurking behind aptless students. Whenever she'd blink, though, B-Money would vanish. He was like the Houdini of friend battles. Heck, she even had a class with me and he managed to avoid her. That was just outright talent. Many mornings, Adelaide would go bounding up into his dorm before anybody got up, only to see Remus and Sirius sleeping. Did that boy sleep under his bed or something? Adelaide would never know. WELL. He was probably there. Adelaide could just pinpoint the other two from their gingerness. Blake probably blended into the shadows. Sneaky, sneaky.

ANYWAY.

"I said... That Im sorry about the whole dance thing okay... I would have danced with you even though dancing is for squares... "

Adelaide just stared at him blankly for a second, before taking a step back. HOW ANTI-CLIMATIC. "Why didn't you just tell me that in the first place?!" Adelaide replied, still in minor disbelief. "Lies don't make friends, B-Money!" Her tone held an almost lecturing air to it, but she was smiling. "Maybe... you know..." Adelaide looked at the ground. "I would have liked to dance..." She murmured.

[Blake Joyner]

Then Lemonade started frowning. Well Blake would frown too if he made such an absurd statement that his creator would never ever steal and use in a thread elsewhere. If Blake could read minds he'd be all defensive and say WHATS WRONG WITH SLEEPING UNDER BEDS!?!?!??! Snookers slept under his bed when he was home. Snookers o course being there cat that Blake hated. BUT STILL.... No one offends snooker! EVEN if it WAS just in Lemonade's mind in which Blake couldn't read.........YEAH!

"Why didn't you just tell me that in the first place?!"

"....Well I ummm... I don't know..." Man this got turned on him somehow... lame. Then she went on too say that lies don't make friends. "I thought secrets didn't make friends?!?!" Wasn't that the saying? Someone is telling a secret you go 'SECRETS DONT MAKE FRIENDS' and then they go "YEAH BUT FRIENDS SHARE SECRETS' or something dumb like that.

"I would have liked to dance..."

".....oh.... You did?..... it didn't seem like it.....Ummm.... Im sorry?" WELL THAT SHIP HAS SAILED. HE WASNT DANCING NOW PFFT NO... SHED JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT! But that does go to prove the 'cootie licker' statement doesn't it. ".....So...." God... what do friends DO? I mean Sirius just sat around and talked for hours and hours and hours and hours. And then forced Blake to play stupid games. "What do you wanna dooo?" He meant that as in... 'we can't hang out in the bathrooms all damn day....'

[adelaide]

"I thought secrets didn't make friends?!?!"

"Neither do lies!" Adelaide explained, grinning like so: ;D. Secrets probably made more friends than lies. Thou shall not lie. It was right there in the Bible, jeesh. B-Money was so silly, sometimes. Well, as far as Adelaide could tell. They had only spoken twice, afterall. OH WELL. THEY WERE STILL BIFFLEZ. "I mean, would you want to be my friend if I lied to you? HMMM?" Adelaide was considering not being friends with B-Money for lying to her, BUT THEN.

".....oh.... You did?..... it didn't seem like it.....Ummm.... Im sorry?"

HE APOLOGIZED. omgomgomgomgomg. Adelaide smiled. "I FORGIVE YOU!" She chirped happily, glad all the dramaz was over. Eleven year old drama was lame, anyways. Adelaide and B-Money were much too cool for such tom-foolery, ya dig?

"What do you wanna dooo?"

Adelaide had no idea. All of her friends always had wholesome activities planned that she would gladly participate in. Or, they were busy making fun of each other. Coughedwardcough. Addie didn't feel like making fun of B-Money, so that was out of the question. Hmm. What a predicament. "I don't know! I MEAN, you know,I was just chasing this spider around." She paused, doing a crude impression of a spider. Kirsty didn't even know how to describe it, it sucked so bad. ANYWAY. "And, then, I just ended up... here..." She stopped, remembering where she was.

BOY GERMS. EVERYWHERE.

Adelaide let out another shriek, crawling under the sink again. Oh God, she couldn't believe she just forgot. How long had she been vulnerable to the devilish creatures? "B-Money, if I die, I just want you to know." Addie gulped, before continuing in a serious tone. "Never EVER feed a mogwai after midnight. Bad things happen."
