Attic of the boathouse

Selia, sitting down with a frown planted on her face, looking around.
Trifles, a small voice in her head coached. They're not worth your time.
"Shut up." She said to herself, trying not to think such cruel things about her friends. It was her birthday-- again-- and although she never made any effort to recognize her friends' birthdays, a little disappointment still came.
Selia, passing a year older, didn't look much different if you had seen her each day while she was growing. Hairstyles had been changed, body had been evened out, rough edges on her face smoothed into shapes instead of plops, but it didn't matter to Selia, who hadn't seen her friends all summer and quite wanted to come back and be great as friends as ever back at Hogwarts. Shaking her head again, she looked out the window, blinking.

Selia, smiling, came into the attic of the boathouse and sat down.

Holly, considering she had nothing else to do in this free period, came up too. "Hey."

"Hey, Holly. Karin was being a total bitch to Fry because he came up to her and her new snob friends and offered her her favorite food, then she dissed him. So, I went up to her and chopped off her hair!"

Holly gave Selia a thumbs-up. "Okay, cool." Holly really didn't want to get caught up in all of this friendship drama. Besides, she didn't really have much information.

"Hehehehehehe!"

"So, other than chopping off Karin's hair, what's been going on with you?"

"Nothing. You guys have ignored me."

"You have ignored me. And we're in the same house."

Fry and Eric entered the clubhouse.
"Selia, for once, I admire you. Except that was a bit over the line."

Selia munched on a granola bar. "She called me some stuff before I snipped it. Plus, we aren't losers, and her friends are just clones of her.... I don't regret it, and it wasn't over the top." She took another bite, and Stephanie left for Chicago.

"Or she's clones of them. Maybe she's where she belongs." Fry said.

"No, that's not possible. Karin isn't being herself." Eric said before sitting down.

Antonio came in and gave Selia a flower.
"Happy birthday, Selia."
Then he began leaning against the wall and eyed everyone.

"I'm so happy we have a break after breakfast, 'cause then you can sleep in." he said with a smirk.

Fry nodded in agreement.
"Too true. But then you miss breakfast."

Selia grinned, putting the flower next to her, then rolled her eyes. "Sleeping in is for lazy bums."

Selia was sitting around, looking at the castle as if she could hear Rachel talking to Karin through the walls. Since she had been in Ravenclaw Tower and it was a Saturday, Selia had changed into dark brown capris, the same color ballet flats, huge white sunglasses, a high brown ponytail, and a little bit too small tanktop that said "Barbie is a B****" on it. Rolling over on her stomach, she picked up the flower from like, last week, and twirled it in her fingers boredly.

Selia lay down in the girls' usual seats on her stomach, twiddling the dried out-but-still-colorful birthday flower in her fingers.

The guys settled down. Immediately, Fry said,
"Where's Holly? We never see her anymore."

"Well, we talked to her in class but she argued with Karin and stuff. . . Are you sure you weren't just skipping class?"

"Why won't you believe me?!"

Selia smiled over at Fry.
"Isn't it obvious? She's getting hormonal."

"What?"


Antonio snickered.

"Hey guys," Holly entered, and sat down by Selia. "Why weren't you in class?" she asked Fry.

"Cause he's gone slacker. " Antonio and Eric said at the same time.

"GOD! I was just really tired and decided to sleep." I think.

Selia bit her lip, bursting with excitement suddenly.
"You're both wrong!"




"He was afraid you'd reject him because he liiiiiikes you."

"Oh really now?" Holly arched her eyebrows at Selia calmly.

"I'm going to go with the 'Fry is a slacker now and he cut class' excuse."

Fry double facepalmed.
"Why are we arguing? Maybe I did slack off! It's just one lousy afternoon. And actually, yeah, I did. I slacked off to go sleep."

Selia grinned at Holly.
"My predictions usually come true. But I'll leave you two alone for now, I suppose..."


"He probably just had to take a crap and missed class anyways."

That last part was a mumble, really quiet.
