Is There A Way Out?

[cappuccino]

Ivy smirked, crossing her arms and shifting her weight to one leg. "Aye, I don't think Mike would hurt a girl though. He did punch his ex-girlfriend Krissy once, and he sent a bass at my face... Gah, I almost forgot about that bass." she spaced out for a few seconds before coming back to reality.

"How long were you gone...?" She blinked, noticing that she had not yet catch his name. "Er.. the name is Ivy, Ivy Xin," she bowed her head slightly in greeting. "Pleased to meet you,"

[dragos]

"H-he he what?!" Dragos sputtered, jumping out of his seat. He began pacing and ran his hand through his hair.
"How could he do that? And send a...bass at your face?!" Dragos yelled, a little louder than he had meant to. He continued to pace, with his hand still tangled up in his hair. As he pulled it out, it poofed into a mushroom-like state, but he really didn't care.

"Dragos Miloševic," the Croatian boy answered absent mindedly, "And I wasn't even gone for that long. Two months...not even!"

[cappuccino]

"The fish bass, not the instrument... I think it was an accident though." Ivy said, nodding. "He also ignored Vanessa when she was pleading for help at a Quidditch game and instead went to go fight Drew. Oh yeah... last week, he hung a fourth year girl upside down."

Wow, I don't even have to lie about him! I can't believe it's all true.... wow, Mike is a jerk.

"Only two months? Gee, and she already hooked up with Rolen? That was fast..." she muttered under her breath, not taking into account the Dragos' feelings. She frowned, "Sorry, mate." apologized Ivy sincerely.

[dragos]

Dragos was pacing even faster now, trying to figure out what he was going to do. Dragos had always been one to over react, but this situation definitely warranted this kind of behaviour.
"Govno!" Dragos muttered under his breath and glanced sideways, frowning at Ivy as she spoke again.

"So what are we gonna do?" Dragos asked.

((BTW, 'govno' is 'shit' in Croatian lol))

[cappuccino]

Ivy grinned this exactly what she wanted to hear. "Dragos, my friend... this is why we are going to save that damsel, Vanessa." she nodded. "First of all, we should do the very basic... you should talk to her. I'm sure that will fail, but it's still worth a try. Second of all, we shall ruin Mike Rolen's life," she paused and thought.

"I haven't really thought of anything appropriate at the moment..." she said quietly. Scheming was very tough business! "What do you propose?"

(LOL XD My friend is Croatian xD *weird*)

[dragos]

"I think we should push him into the Lake!" Dragos growled bitterly, "She's not going to listen to me. I think we should just go for him." Dragos punched the stone wall angrily. It hurt a hell of a lot, but he wasn't going to let that worry him at the moment.

Pacing. Dragos took it up again and was practically burning a whole in the floor. Sighing, he stopped for a moment to run his hand through his hair once more, but then started pacing again, breathing hard. His mind was racing, his heart was pounding and his hand was throbbing. Not a great combination.

((Bahh, I g2g ttyl!!))

dragos said:

"I think we should push him into the Lake!" Dragos growled bitterly.

((bye!))

Ivy looked at Dragos like she was going to kiss him. "Dragos, I think this is a start of a beautiful, beautiful friendship." she said in awe.

When he punched the wall, Ivy winced and groaned slightly in pain of watching him. She had to see the slight irony... Mike did the same exact thing whenever he was mad. When they were still together, Ivy would always try to make him stop. Dragos was more similar to Mike than he knew, but Ivy decided not to tell him that.

"I think pushing him in a lake is a good idea," she nodded and decided to write that down on a piece of parchment. After pocketing the scrap piece of paper, she kneeled down next to Dragos and gave him a comforting smile. "Y'know Dragos... you shouldn't beat yourself up about Vanessa... it's not your fault, and... if it was truly meant to be, she'll come back to you."

[dragos]

Dragos jumped back slightly when he saw the way Ivy was looking at him, and then chuckled nervously at her comment. He also noticed her flinch as the punched the wall, but didn't think anything of it. Maybe she was just a jumpy person.

"It is my fault though," Dragos groaned as he plunked back down onto the wall, "If I hadn't of left, and let her believe I wasn't coming back, she wouldn't have gone to that jerk!" Dragos punched his hand as he said the word 'jerk', making himself angry all over again. He rested his head in his hands and sighed out loudly.
"She's not coming back to me," he grumbled.

[cappuccino]

"Then if you truly believe that, you shouldn't fuss over it. Move on with your life. It is hard, I know, but that's the only thing you can do." she patted him on the back, trying to be nice. "It doesn't help you any to dwell on something like this. You're a good looking and smart guy from what I see." she nodded reassuringly; she was really bad at this kind of stuff.

"Dragos, you just have to believe that your heart can move on. Don't be so pessimistic." said Ivy softly as she leaned on the wall, watching him. Ivy was almost always an optimist-- or at least she was almost always happy.

[dragos]

Dragos nodded solemnly in agreement. He knew Ivy was right, but he also knew that he couldn't just let Vanessa go either. It was Nessa...
"Yeah, you're right," Dragos agreed reluctantly. He sighed out again, but didn't raise his head to look at Ivy. Dragos sniffled slightly. No, he wasn't crying! There was nothing in his eye! And the wind was cold, and making his nose run!

OK, so maybe he was crying, but only a little. It was something he rarely did. He couldn't even remember the last time he had cried. Clearly it had been a long time ago. But now he was crying again, and in front of a girl. Uncool.
"So what are we gonna do 'bout Mike? Still push him in the Lake?" Dragos asked, a hint of hopefulness in his voice.

[cappuccino]

Ivy, before she answered him, took him into an embrace to comfort him. She knew it was very tough to go through things like this. No one liked it, and she admired him for his strength. Smiling, she held him tight, almost as if she was trying to squeeze out every last bit of sorrow in his body.

Letting him go, she nodded. "Yes, of course... that has been something I've wanted to do in a long time. Seriously, Rolen needs to understand who he messes with. I'm not going to stand around letting him tarnish my name or any other girl's name." said Ivy bitterly as she clenched her fists. She was angry just thinking about him.

"Hopefully the Squid is feeling hungry that day. I'll ask Davenport not to feed it one day, think it'll work?"

[dragos]

Dragos wasn't sure how he was supposed to react to Ivy's hug, but instinct told him to hug back. He wrapped one arm around ivy and hugged her back, but let go immediately as he felt her start to let go too. Dragos looked up at her, rubbing his eye so it wouldn't look like he had been crying like a little girl. Dragos cleared his throat before he spoke again so it wouldn't quiver as he tried to talk.
"He needs to be taught a lesson. Give him a taste of his own medicine. Let him see how it feels to be crushed completely," Dragos snarled in a cruel voice that was extremely unlike his own. He punched his own hand again, wishing it was Mike's head.

"Maybe we could drop him in the Forest instead," Dragos suggested, his eyes lighting up slightly, "Let something in there eat him instead."

[cappuccino]

"Aye, I do believe that the werewolves are hungry, no? I think Mike would be delightful to have." she muttered, agreeing with him every bit. "Mike is probably just using Vanessa as a rebound."

She's probably also using Mike as a rebound too...

Ivy was still planning out ways to destroy the terrible thing named Mike Rolen, an idea popped into her head. "Hey! I once heard that there was a three-headed dog that could be found in Hogwarts! Maybe we can feed him to it?"

[dragos]

The mere thought that Mike might be using Vanessa sent Dragos into a fit of rage. He wanted to yell and scream and punch things, but instead he kept it all in. The only thing that changed was his fists clenched, his jaw locked and he began breathing heavily. At that moment, he wanted more than anything to just throttle Michael Rolen, but he'd have to let the werewolves and squid have all the fun.

"I'd keep that dog as a pet afterward," Dragos muttered through gritted teeth, "It would be my all-time hero."

[cappuccino]

Ivy blinked at Dragos; he was starting to get way too into this. Sheesh, note to self: never get a Slytherin mad. She gulped a bit, before biting her lower lip worriedly. "Y'know Dragos, you should talk to Vanessa... without Mike. Talk to her about where you guys stand, because she thought you were never going to come back, y'know? She isn't all that bad, really..."

Although she loved to plan Mike's ruin, she didn't exactly want him to die. Mike was a jerk, but he didn't deserve getting mauled by the werewolves, the Giant Squid and Fluffy.

EDIT:

He tarnished the Xin name; he made you another strike on his list of bimbos.

Ivy clenched her fists, who was she kidding?! Of course Mike deserved a slow and painful death! She wanted to be there to see him plead for mercy, and grovel at her feet! For what he had done to her, and every other poor girl that he had managed to ruin.

"DOWN WITH ROLEN!!" she yelled out suddenly, bringing a fist into the air.





What a psycho.
