What are Cooties? PV Delilah Stewart Finished

Serena smiled weakly at the other girl's joke. Humour was a great way to cheer her up - she always laughed. In fact, she laughed too much and at anything. Right now, she was perhaps a bit too tired to laugh properly. She had been tired before she started patrolling the corridor anyway. All of the emotions and adrenaline of the situation afterwards certainly did not help. 

Unfortunately, the girl asked the one question Serena was not sure how to answer. Explaining what Siege did was not going to be easy. She wasn't entirely sure what had happened herself. Well, some of it made sense to her but other bits didn't. Closing her fists, grabbing fist fulls of her cloak in them as she lay her hands on her lap. "Oh- uh- he- well-" She started mumbling out, "I saw him. A while ago. And uh- well-" What exactly what she trying to say? Even she didn't know. Hell, even I don't really know where she's going with this.

"He uh... Well he was... He wasn't feeling well!" She replied, that's definitely not the reason she was crying. Sigh. Try again, Serena. "Oh... maybe that's why he did it..." She whispered, more to herself but loud enough for Delilah to hear at this distance. They were quite close to each other at this moment anyway. Instinctively, she raised her finger to brush against her lip. She let it sit there, as though in thought. Her only thought however was the feeling of his lips on hers. Her cheeks started to go a little pink at the memory. "Oh God- But then- he- argh, that jerk!!!" She said sharply under her breathe. How could he kiss her and then yell at her as though it was her fault? It was most definitely his! He acted like he didn't even remember it. Did it really mean nothing to him? Was it normal for people to just... do that to each other?

Frowning slightly, she looked at Delilah, "Ha- Has anyone ever done something weird to you... something, you wouldn't expect from a friend - and then just randomly yelled at you and left you alone?" She asked, not being very clear. She would get there, soon. At least she was formulating full sentences now. 

When Serena called Siege a jerk, that was her cue for her brain to figure out that it was definitely him who made her cry. When Serena asked that last question she looked off to the side, pretending to think. In all honestly the answer was no, considering before Hogwarts she had no friends other than her Granny, that was a bit sad wasn't it. "Not that I can remember no. What did he do like?" She asked, trying to kinda force the answer out of her, it smelled rancid in that room but she guessed that Serena wasn't one to cry in public and with Delilah asking questions, she could break down again at any moment

There wasnt too many paper towels left in the dispenser but Delilah decided to give her another one anyway, because it's better than dirtying her sleeve, even if it is only a bit. By then looked of things Serena was feeling a little better, emotions wise, either that or she legitimately ran out of tears, that wouldn't be fun but it would be funny in the future "Remember that time you cried so hard you actually ran out of tears." She had a flashforward instead of a flashback apparently. Delilah had a feeling the answer would be revealed soon and that she would not be happy with it. She already wasn't happy with it be she would be even unhappier about it.

Sniffling, she took the towel from Delilah and nodded a little, "Th- Thanks," before wiping her face with that instead. Serena bite her lip at her question. Just thinking about it was making her go a little pink, how was she going to bring herself to say it? Shaking a little, she swallowed her spit and tried to calm herself down a bit, "Uh well he... did something..." She started, still too afraid to say the word she needed to say for all of this to make sense. It wasn't very helpful though. 

"A- well- and then he... Well I guess, he- uh- he acted like he didn't do it- or that it didn't matter to him! Or that he didn't care! I don't know! He just like acted horribly. And then screamed at me- told me to screw off, not to go near him- and just left! Argh, that stupid jerkface jerk!" Serena was visibly getting more and more annoyed as she spoke. Her hesitation started to disappear as her hot-headed anger sunk in. Clenching her hand into balls again, she lightly punched it against the floor, "How could he? I thought we were friends! But he just- Argh- was that all he wanted?" She continued ranting, irritated by the whole thing.

Serena's body was visibly shaking a little. It could have been from anger. It could have also been from the crying. Most likely, it was from both of the above. She clenched her fists tighter, her nails digging into her as she breathed audibly. She couldn't believe he did this. She was more upset by the fact he didn't really acknowledge that what he did was wrong of him. Instead, making it out like it was her fault when it wasn't. 

Delilah frowned as Serena explained what he did, she was definitely getting more angry and so was Delilah, she could see Serena's face was a bit red, although with what is happening it isn't exactly clear as to what made it that way. She listened to Serena frustratedly tell her almost everything. 

"What did the idiot do? Seems like he has been completely stupid at the moment." She laughed a little, trying to hide how angry she was getting herself. She had a mouthful and a half of words prepared for him next time she crosses paths with the tall boy. Delilah gently stroked Serena's back continuously in her rubbish attempt to help calm her down. At the moment Siege better be writing his bucket list at that moment in time.

Delilah smiled at Serena reassuringly, although she didn't know which one is better, being sad or being angry. But at least she can sort of form coherant sentenced when she is angry, even if it does have a lot of calling him a jerk in the middle. "He really is a jerk huh?" She laughed a little before frowning at the thought of what he must have done to make her this upset and this angry. Must have been a pretty big deal if she called him a 'stupid jerkface jerk' in her own words.

Nodding, she completely agreed with Delilah's sentiment. The boy was a jerk. He was the biggest jerkface... jerk! Unfortunately, Serena could not think of any better description for him in her anger and tears, "The biggest jerk!" She confirmed, trying to avoid answering the one question she kept pressing for. 

Serena blew her nose into the tissue that Delilah had given her. None of this was a pretty sight, anyway. She had never broken down in tears in front of anymore. A part of her hated herself for not being able to control her emotions today. However, she also was in too much emotional pain to care about that part right now. 

What exactly did he do?

It did not help that Serena's cheeks turned a little pink just thinking about the whole thing. She did not understand why he did what he did but, it still made her feel incredibly awkward and confused. It also made her heartbeat really fast and her stomach feel weird. Queasy, perhaps.

Ahhhh, what if she had cooties now? What if the weird feeling in her stomach was cooties?! Perhaps that was why her heart was beating so rapidly?

She clenched her fists a little, trying to brave herself to telling Delilah the whole story. It took her a few moments to try to bring herself to do it. But the awkwardness never left her.

"He- well- he uh- kinda- uhhh..." Serena mumbled under her breathe, feeling hotter and hotter as she spoke from embarrassment, "He uhh- he sorta well- kind of ki-" the rest of the words went into a mutter under her breathe, "It hurt..." Serena finished, not realised that half of her sentence was swallowed up by her sniffing and mutterings under her breathe. Wiping her face a little more with the back of her sleeve, Serena looked up after a few moments, taking some breaths to calm herself down, "He even told me to stay the hell away from him... unless I wanted to get hurt again..." 

In all honesty, it sounded like she was saying that Siege kicked her and it physically hurt her. Of course, that's not what happened but one could forgive Delilah for thinking that's exactly what happened - because it might have sounded like that.

Rubbing her eyes, Serena realised how awkward this entire thing was. Her face was probably kind of red by now. Just thinking about Siege and... well, what happened between them. She was just telling a random stranger everything. Fidgeting a little, she dried her face, "So-Sorry, I shouldn't be here- We shouldn't be here," She continued, it was getting late and it was almost time for curfew. Both of them had to get back to their dorm rooms and Serena had to go report the blood and fight in the bathroom. "Thanks Delilah-" She said with a small smile on her face and a nod of her head, "You should get back to the dorms, I'll deal with this stuff," Serena said wiping her face, indicating to the blood stains, as she stood up to go be the Prefect on duty, like a good girl. 

She smiled at Delilah, still sniffing and wiping her face, "Thank you," She said gratefully with a nod of her head before exiting the toilets to go complete her Prefect duties. Serena was probably not in the right state of mind for it but she had to leave the bathroom anyway, clear her head. Hopefully by the time she found the professor, she could actually formulate sentences properly. Hopefully by then, she would know what to report anyway...

She scowled a little when she told her what happened, although she didn't fully hear what she said, she guessed that the idiot had kicked her, well he either kissed her, kicked her or killed her...and the last one didn't make a lot of sense and there is no way Siege would kiss her. It was actually nearing 10Pm, she wondered how long they had been there for. Serena thanked her, so with a smile Delilah replied, " It's absolutely no problem at all." As Serena left Delilah muttered, "Yeah I'll go back in just a minute, thanks." Absentmindedly, she waited until Serena was gone, before yelling out, "Oh my god, what an IDIOT." Delilah kicked the wall just under where the burn mark was in anger, it kind of hurt her foot but she was not in the mood to give a crap.

"THAT EEJIT... bang... NITWIT... bang... ABSOLUTE NUMPTY... bang... BIRD BRAIN... bang... AND THAT IS... bang... AN INSULT... bang... TO BIRDS... bang." Delilah kicked the wall after every insult, eventually getting tired and slumping down the wall herself, sitting on the ground with her head against it, her foot throbbing from kicking a brick wall, but frankly she didn't care, and she was ready to kick him as many times as necessary if it means he gets the point into his stupid little brain, obviously she wasn't aware that he had no clue he did it.

Delilah stood up, completely ignoring her foot screaming for her to not walk, and walked out of the room, headed towards the west tower back to the Ravenclaw commonroom, ready to look for him all of the next day until she found him.
