"I... guess?" Aaron rubbed the back of his head. Aaron could kind of see the irony, but it made more sense to him as if his glasses were a shield to help Holden to control his laser eyes but what did Aaron know? He could just lift up slightly heavy stuff up like airplanes. Lyra seemed real excited when Holden brought up irony and Aaron was unsure of Lyra's side of the story made Holden's irony make more sense, or have Aaron more confused.
And then Melrose mentioned homecoming.
Was this some sort of hint?
I mean, yeah the date they shared was fun. I mean, eating pizza in the parking lot after working hours wasn't the best thing for a date, but Melrose did wear her shoes. Maybe she'd wear them to homecoming? "Err," Aaron swallowed hard. Shit. He was trapped in a corner, "if I get a date?" he mumbled. He could feel his palms getting sweathy. Where was a twix bar when he needed one?!

Melrose nodded to Lyra's confirmation. It was obvious she'd be going.
And Melrose couldn't help but wonder if she should mention the Tobias story. I mean, Lyra is the best friend. She should know. But does she already? Did Tobias tell her? Does Tobias even want Lyra to know in the first place? Are Melrose and Tobias even going in the first place? Or was it just some sort of joke they had between each other? Why was she asking so many questions?!
"Oh."
So Aaron doesn't have a date. Huh.
"Oh." Melrose repeated again like a broken record, " That's understandable. Well I hope you're able to go though. I mean, I need my party buddy. I'll be lonely, champ." She offered a reassuring grin.
"And how about you lady killer?" Melrose nudged Holden in the ribs. Holden though was in the middle of slurping down the last of his smoothie, so the nudge startled him, causing a slight choke and cough.

Holden coughed and gagged on the mix of strawberry smoothie and spit. Nasty.
"Geez, Rose." He finally caught his breath, finishing his sudden episode with a cough into the bend of his elbow.
What was homecoming anyway? An awkward get together? That's what it seemed like to Holden. All these girls get so excited and buy these expensive dresses to wear for just one night only to be disappointed because their date, boyfriend, or whatever didn't meet their high expectations. I'm tellin ya, it's silly. Homecoming is silly. Girls are silly. SILLY.
"I will more than likely not be going actually. Girls and dancing confuse me." Holden bluntly admitted as he played with his smoothie straw again.

Party buddy? Melrose needed him? Aaron nearly choked. Was Melrose invited him to homecoming? Ugh, girls they were so confusing with their mixed wave feelings. Aaron did not know what to take as a signal. That crazy girl. "Well I guess I have to be there," Aaron smiled cheesily. Did he just accept her offer? Girls. They were confusing.
"Amen to that," Aaron replied to Holden. He knew what was up.

Artemis made her way from her room to the middle. (Being to lazy to post in it) Inhaling as she fiddled around to create a flame she made her way to Hercules Hall where she had gotten a text from Holden inviting her over.
Moving her hair from her face Artemis moved the door as she pulled her self up and in. Artemis stood up dusting herself off as she looked around. Memories of the past in this hall.."Fun times" She said to herself making her way over to the T.V room.
Walking inside she saw Lyra, Melrose Aaron and Holden. "Hey guys mind if I crash?" She said walking in with a slight wave.

"Girls are not confusing," Lyra shook her head at Holden, "you just don't understand," okay, maybe girls were confusing. Tobias told Lyra repetitively that she was confusing and that girls were confusing. Lyra never took his word though. She just laughed and laughed.
Suddenly (and randomly) Artemis came walking through the middle. Did somebody invite her? "Uhh..." Lyra cleared her throat, "not to sound rude Artemis, but why are you here?" Lyra asked, looking around for anyone looking for Artemis, "did somebody invite you?"

Holden felt the phone in his pocket vibrate.
A text message.
Good sir, you have mail!
He pulled out his iphone to see the message was from an unknown number. Though the message went on to explain that it was in fact Artemis from Houdini Hall. Whoa. He had seen her for like 2 minutes once upon a time. How did she get his number? In the halls? Odd. He texted her back inviting her to join them when she had asked for the two of them to hang out sometime. It was weird. He hadn't even really said anything to her when they met. But he was trying to be nice. Girls like it when guys are nice. Except when said nice guy is a bad boy. Then they want you to be bad. But only at certain times. They like it when you show sensitivity. But not too much. Or they'll think you're a softy.
Or something like that, whatever.
"Oh I invited her. She texted me." Holden coughed and slurped on his smoothie only to be disappointed that it was empty. Lame.
And now this was getting awkward.

Artemis glarred to Lyra. "Herp derp" She said sitting on the side of the couch. Honestly...she didnt care if she was invited or not being bored was not an option. But being with Dildo baggins lyra was something she coluld do with out.
"Thanks Holden" She said waving to the boy who she really hoped was Holden. Yes so she didnt really know who he was but...at the school she was told she needed to be nicer. She would but to certain people. everyone not named lyra Inhaling she set her hands in her lap.
"Is that a problem Im here Lyra?" She asked sarcastically cocking her head to the side. Honestly...she had no Idea what Lyras problem with her was...what ever it was she could care less.

"Okay, great! I look forward to it." Melrose beamed at Aaron, hoping to send some sort of message. Any message.
Ask meeeeee. Ask meeeeee to homecooooominggggg.
Or maybe not. Because there's Tobias. And she wanted to go with Tobias. Tobias was an awesome guy. Melrose loved Tobias.
And she loved Aaron.
Ask meee to homecooomiiinng. Maaaybeeee. Waaaait. Dooooon't. I.... GAH.
Artemis's entrance broke Melrose's predicament. Holden had apparently invited her. What the heck? Not that Melrose had problems with Art, it was just odd that her and the Baby Marshal knew each other. They just didn't seem to be the first two to latch onto each other. "Uh, hey, Art! Long time no see, eh?"
WHOOOA. Hold up now, gurl. It's past curfew. And I spy a manipulator in the Hercules Hall. And Melrose is a prefect. There is a disturbance in this force.
"Wait, Art. It's past curfew. You shouldn't be in Physical's lounge this late at night."

"I was just wondering. I don't want you getting in trouble seeing that our prefect is right here," Lyra said, motioning to Melrose. Artemis overreacted too much. She tried to hard at everything, rather it was being nice or being badass or mean.

Artemis perked her head up as Melrose began to speak. She totally forgot about her being a prefect. "Oh yeah..." She sighed slowly standing up. Slouching slightly she waved to everyone a bit as she headed to the middle. "I guess Ill go back to Houdini.." She shrugged as she made her way to the middle.
Looking over to Lyra she rolled her eyes. It wasnt like she didnt like Lyra..lbut when ever Art came into the room Lyra was always so Hostile. She shook her head at the thought as she left the room

And now I look like a total jerk.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault. I should of known better. I invited. I didn't realize the time or rules."
Holden felt himself reaching for the smoothie straw, but stopped reminding himself how empty it was. Bad choice, Baby Marshal. Inviting a Manipulator into the Physical Hall this late at night? With a relative as a prefect? Bad choice. Tsk Tsk.

Still no reply Lyra checked her phone and threw it across the room. It bounced and slid on the ground until it hit a chair leg. Lyra laid on the couch and her head was against the arm rest. She looked over at her phone, staring at it, waiting for a noise to go off and a light to flash on the screen. Her hair sprawled over her face and the couch.
Tobias was released from the hospital today and he was as distant as ever. Lyra heard from mouth that he was out of the infirmary. She wanted to see him, she wanted to talk to him, but she heard nothing from him. Staring at the phone wasn't going to help. Lyra's focus turned to the ceiling, trying to make out shapes from the popcorn stucco. Her right arm covered her eyes and she bit her lip and kicked her legs on the cushions of the couch. Lyra pushed herself up and pulled her legs to her chin. "Dammit, TK..." Lyra sighed and shoot her head, pressing her forehead against her knees. He'd come back to her... right?

Aaron couldn't sleep. He figured it was because he was staring at his laptop for the longest time and the lights woke him up. What better way to cure that problem by staring at the television. Family Guy should have been on. It was the only thing on television and Family Guy was hilarious. Bundled up in a robe, Aaron left his dorm and went downstairs. He stopped at the entrance when he saw Lyra upset and crying. He took a step back- helping girls out with emotional problems. He'd feel like an ass if he didn't do anything about it.
Aaron took a breath and made his presence known. On a couch opposite of Lyra, Aaron sat down. Okay this is incredibly awkward. Why did I do this? Aaron thought. He slapped his hands on his knees and exhaled. "So, uh, is TK alright?" OKay. Maybe that wasn't the best to say. But Lyra would have known what happened, right? She was best friends with him after all.
