Thrown into a world of bright colors and abstract ideas, Odessa had remained perched on a small stone wall for over an hour, sketching out her latest comic book. The characters on the blank sheets of paper were vivid visions of Odessa's imagination, each representing someone unique yet classic. Over the summer, the Ravenclaw had neglected one of her many hobbies, because her mother needed more attention than usual, and her brothers were gone for most of the vacation. Her father, on the other hand, was completely wiped out so Odessa relieved him of the stressful tasks around the house and such. As Odie began drawing an hour earlier, she realized how much she missed the simple activity and how relaxing it could be.

Carefully putting the fresh creations away in her binder, the brunette pulled out a different sketchpad and opened it to a clear sheet. She lifted her head momentarily to gaze at the grounds around her, taking in her surroundings as she often did subconsciously. There were only a couple people out today wandering, daring to enjoy the crisp breeze as it blew and withered about, threatening to create goosebumps on uncovered skin. Odessa welcomed weather like this, because she enjoyed the sporadic chills she received when a fresh wind would pick up and whip around her body.

The school year had just begun and already Odessa wished it was June so she could graduate and be back home... or perhaps a university close enough to home. All she could think about was the idea of coming home for winter break and not having a mother there to greet her and wish her a happy Christmas, (not that she was receiving that from her bedridden mother now but still). With a gentle sigh, Odie finally glanced back down at her empty sketchbook with warm amber eyes and began tracing the outline of a figure, a fashion figure. The act of comic stripping somehow urged Odessa to create some new styles for her portfolio later. With melancholic movements, the Ravenclaw began her design on the rough humanistic figure, allowing a small smirk of idle amusement to grace her plump lips.

Antoinette Moss
Got Nothing to Sell.
Slytherin Student
Today was far from a special day for Antoinette but a day good enough to keep from being completely plain. Classes were over for the day and it meant she could rid herself of the horrid and painfully dull school uniform. Antoinette had shed the plain skirt and shirt with the tie for a very short ruffled black shirt she'd made herself and a low cut black corset with rainbow stiching, something else she'd made herself. Antoinette had also pulled on rainbow striped over the knee socks and black doll shoes. Over the outfit she'd put on a pale pink shall that covered her shoulders but not her outfit completely. It was definatly more of an accessory than a coverup. Antoinette's makeup was thick and wild as usual, this time particularily colorful. Her red wavy hair was pulled back into a ponytail with the blue bangs in place as always.

Wandering, Antoinette had nothing to do for the next few hours. She'd finished all her homework and her Charms NEWT group didn't meet until after dinner. Antoinette decided her next action was going for a walk. After strolling around the lake for a bit, Algae headed up to the court yard. There was probably someone to talk to there. She swept her bangs out of her face and magiced for a mirror. She knew she was vain, there really was no denying it. As long as she thought she looked good, Antoinette was a happy girl. Preening in the mirror out of everybody's view for just a minute, Antoinette vanished the mirror and headed into the courtyard.

With a confident but shy smile, Algae surveyed the grounds. There was no one particularily interesting at first glance. However, after a few minutes, Antoinette spotted a familiar face and beelined for her Ravenclaw friend. "Hey!" drawled the california accent from between painted lips. Immediatly small hands went on the girl's narrow hips and she tilted her head to look up at her friend's face. "When am I going to get that date? Hmm?" Antoinette gave Odie a look of mock seriousness and then broke into a gigantic smile. She reached up and managed to pull herself up next to her friend. It was common knowledge that Antoinette was bisexual and it wasn't like she was denying her crush on one of her best friends. In fact, if Odessa didn't know that Algae liked her, she had to be pretty thick because Antoinette had taken to asking her out almost continously... even though she wasn't sure her friend was bi, Algae had yet to feel completely rejected by her friend and there wasn't much tension because of it either. That lead to hope.

How could Odessa not be aware of the crush Antoinette had on her? It was blatantly obvious, but Odessa didn't mind it because she herself had been questioning her own feelings for her fair-skinned friend. In fact, she had been questioning her sexual drive lately. In truth, Odessa hadn't been aroused in months, which was terribly odd for the young hormonal female. She figured it was due to all the stress back at home and the lack of options at Hogwarts, (yes lack of options, because Odessa found most of the students to be either unattractive, taken, rude, or stupid... all of which tended to turn the Ravenclaw off). However, a small spark had been trying to burn it's way into Odessa's heart when it came to Antoinette, but the brunette always pushed it aside as nothing.

"When am I going to get that date? Hmm?"

"When you deserve it," Odessa shot back as she glanced at her friend climbing the wall, a small glint of amusement held in her warm eyes. She wondered how Antoinette would respond to that remark simply because all the times previous Odessa merely shrugged the playful question off or made a joke about it to push it aside. Today she was feeling a little daring. A faint smirk remained on her lips as she continued her drawing, allowing the pencil to glide along the parchment with grace and ease. She was left-handed (well, actually ambidextrous), but she had managed to position her hand in such a way that she wouldn't smudge her own work with the side of her palm like most left-handed people tend to do. Adding some lace to a particularly old-fashioned Victorian shirt, the Ravenclaw paused and gazed up at her colorful friend, "So what brings Rainbow Brite out to the courtyard this afternoon?" She tilted her head a little to the side as she let a small smile grace her lips, wondering if Antoinette knew about the Muggle cartoon creation that had stolen so many younger girls' hearts in the 1980's, including Odessa's mother. Consequently, Odessa got pulled into the old cartoon as a child and to this day she still enjoys the rainbow-haired girl.

Odessa finally finshed off the lace trim before placing her pencil behind her ear casually, afraid she might lose it otherwise. "So back to this date business... If I deemed you worthy enough to take me out," she drawled playfully as her smile widened in a teasing way, "Which I'm not sure yet if I do, but if I did... where would we go?" She raised her eyebrows curiously as she brought her thumb to her lips, gently nibbling on the soft cuticle near her nail; it was a nervous/thoughtful habit she had attained early on in life and never seemed to shake it off.
