A random walkway

"Hey, Holly." Fry said.


"Ohi. Whee, that was tiring." Eric sighed.


Antonio snickered.
"You guys are weak."

"Oh? Let's see you run from down in the sub-levels up to the entrance hall, up a floor, back down a floor, through out to here, and down this friggin' long walkway, eh? Let's see you after that, Antonio!"

"Yeah, Toni," said Karin elbowing him. It had been a long time since she had called him the her own personal nickname for him 'Toni'

"Don't call me that." he said simply.


Fry punched the air.
"WHEE I FEEL SO ENERGIZED TODAY. Finally some good weather."

"At least I'm not calling you something like Toni-kins," "That's something that little priss Selia would say," thought Karin, but she didn't say it out loud though.

"...Oh for god's sake."



Fry was still punching the air in an immature way.

"What?

"Eh. Nothing. Stop it, Fry, you almost hit Eric in the nose."



Fry mumbled something about needing to let his energy out.

He suddenly accidently punched Holly on the shoulder. Or well, he would have if he wasn't so tall, So instead he kind of hit her in the ear. Pretty hard.
"...SORRY."

Holly let out a little yelp, and stumbled backwards a few steps, her eyes watering. She brushed the tears from her eyes, and rubbed her ear. She was still wondering, as she had for the past couple of years, why she always seemed to get injured or embarrassed or something with Fry around, and he was the cause of it. Maybe this was a sign that they shouldn't be friends. But, she did like him.

"I-it's okay," she stammered, rubbing her ear-neck area.

"I'm really sorry, I'll stop!" Fry said, and immediately put his hands behind his back. But while doing that, he hit her on the nose.
"...WHY."

In reflex, Holly kicked Fry in the shin, and didn't bother to apologize while she rubbed her nose, tears sprouting in the corners of her eyes.

"OW! HOLLY! I didn't mean to!" He pulled his hands out from his back and hit her in the back of the head as he reached for his shin.
"Oh my god. Why does this always happen." he groaned.
"WHY. You know what? Let's go to the Hospital Wing. No, I'm not taking you, Madame Pomfrey'll stare at me- she's so old-fashioned, she'll be all, 'Oh you abuser, shame on you, hitting a girl, you'll get nowhere in life, horrible...' and then give me one of her looks, But then, I should, right Holly? STOP CRYING! YOU'RE MAKING ME GUILTY!" Fry rubbed his shin.
"... ERIC. PLEASE TAKE HER. I can't take her- I bet on the way there I'll make her fall off the stairs or something." He got a flashback from when they went banister sliding. Good times. Why can't it be like that now. He'd LOVE to go Banister flying again.
"Holly, I'm so sorry. But Eric'll take you, okay? From what's happened, I don't want to knock you unconcious, okay?"

Eric nodded.
"Sure, I'll take her. But, you're gonna have to pay me five galleons."

"FIVE GALLEONS?! I don't-" He flailed his hands and hit Holly again.
"... Just go..."

Holly had tears streaming down her cheeks now, and, she felt all embarrassed. I'm fourteen, I shouldn't be crying like this, she thought. She held back from kicking Fry, cause, he'd probably hit her again. So, she walked with Eric to the hospital wing, staring at her shoes, completely embarrassed by this whole thing.

Fry was facepalming in horror now.

Selia came running down from Hogwarts, panting similar to Eric and Fry. "Dear God, that place is big!Oh look, everyone's here! Hi Kar.." She stopped to pant.

"Karin, Eric, Fry, Antonio, Holly.... Holly! Holly, what's wrong? FRY, WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

Twerp: *Rolling around laughing at the fourth years*

[I find it funny that Karin and Selia are so similar, and they think of each other as opposites. They even said almost the same things to Antonio when they got frustrated with him.]

Selia, not really having any reason to be blonde anymore, (she simply got bored with it.) had changed her hair back to brown, and it was back in pigtails again.

She groaned loudly, turning to glare at Fry. "Fry, it's always your fault, isn't it?! You throw up on the poor girl, you hit her, you get in huge arguments, and it's just uncalled for! Some of it isn't your fault, most likely, I have to claim some credit for making you throw up in the first place. But you shouldn't have drank that much. BUT ANYWAYS, You're acting really irresponsible, stupidly, and you're hurting other people, (are you blind to the fact that she's crying, Fry?) so you just leave Holly alone! She has been a complete mess lately, and it's all because of you and how freaky you are with your effing testosterone or something and you don't even notice how TERRIBLE you've been. We've all been terrible, with the whole freaking Antonio thing, and you have had to sit through this all, I'm so sick of it. I just want to STOP! Why can't we just go back and sit down and treat each other like we did two years ago? Nothing's changed except we're growing up, and that doesn't mean we can't still be happy once in a while." Selia stopped, breathing a little hard.
"You won't change anything, though, because you never listen to me, Fry."

"Hey! Common Selia! Fry only did that by MISTAKE!"

"It's not just Fry! It's all of us! It's like, like... It's like we're all going crazy!"

"Yes, ALL of us,"

"I know that includes me! This has all been terrible, so why don't we.." Selia stopped, thinking for a second.

Karin didn't say anything, but just glared slightly at Selia.

"....." Selia looked up at Karin, smiling. "This is going to sound shallow. But when we're all stressed out, I think we should have a.." she faltered, losing the smile for a moment. "Why don't we have a big party?"

"A big party? When? It's not like we can go have one in school right now, silly,"
