Ever After High

[Jess Buck]

Blondie smiled at Apple.


"Thanks Apple." She said. With that she stood and gathered her things. "Come on. We'll have girls night if Ashlynn is too busy." She said with a giggle. She held out her hand for Apple to take.


Ashlynn and Hunter said their goodbyes and went off in separate directions, Hunter to his dorm and Ashlynn to her's.

 

[Soul Eu Min]

Happily, Apple took hold of Blondie's hand, " I'm glad you're my friend ".


Soul sighed as he walked towards the music room by himself, Tai had left since he wanted to mess around with people. Why? He didn't know and he's best friends with the duckling. While walking, he was greeted by his classmates, some girls swooned over the White Prince and asked him questions about the upcoming ball at his castle, which he would briefly explain to them.

 

[Jess Buck]

Blondie smiled.


"And I'm glad your mine." She said, before heading off to Apple's dorm for girls night.


Ashlynn was on her way to her dorm when she bumped into someone and fell down. She looked up and sighed.


"I'm sorry." She said, getting up slowly.

 

[Soul Eu Min]

Tai hummed at first, then, after eyeing her for a second, spoke in a monotone voice. " You and that hunter boy, hm? ", he questioned, slightly amused, " Does your friends know about this? ".


Raven and Cedar were quietly talking about something while they looked around the shop. Occasionally, Cedar would ask if Raven liked Tai or not, but the rebel consistently replied that she didn't.

 

[Jess Buck]

Ashlynn's face went pale.


"W-What?"


Maddie ran up behind Raven and Cedar, tackling them with a hug.


"Guys! When are we going to get tea?" She asked with a whine.

 

[Soul Eu Min]

Tai nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders while he spoke. " You should be more careful, you may believe that no one will be able to see your secret dates. Obviously you both aren't good at concealing them ", he went on, " I already caught you two in the act and Soul, well, he almost saw you hadn't I been gracious enough to lead him away ".


" After Cedar stops asking me if I like Tai, I obviously don't ", Raven said with a sneer. cedar only pouted before clinging onto Maddie, " Help me out here, Maddie! ".


Finally being in the music room, Soul let out a happy sigh as he sat at the piano and pressed a couple of the keys, listening to their melodious tune. This was the only peace he would be able to find with all the students agreeing, disagreeing, and arguing with one another.

 

[Jess Buck]

Ashlynn stood speechless. She knew she had seen someone on her date with Hunter today. This was not good.


Maddie groaned.


"Guuys~ Boys are stupid~ You know what isn't stupid thought? Tea! Can we pleeeaaasssee go get tea now?!" She begged.


Raini sighed as she walked into the music room. Upon seeing the mass of arguing people she squeaked.


"Not again...." She groaned.

 

[Soul Eu Min]

Tai shrugged his shoulders before leaving Ashlynn behind. He called over his shoulder, " If you're going to try and keep it a secret, do a better job ", he suggested before disappearing into the school building.


Cedar pouted before grabbing onto Raven. " Yes, we can go for tea ", Raven answered with a small smile.


After tuning out the noise from the other room next to the one of many music rooms. He began to play the piano beautifully, the melody of songs from Spirited Away gently flowing throughout the room. Lu Xun allowed himself to be absorbed into the music.

 

[Jess Buck]

Ashlynn sighed and hurriedly walked to her dorm room.


"Yay! Finally!" She cheered, dragging her friends off to the tea house.


Raini heard music coming from the next room over. She followed the music and smiled upon seeing Soul. She leaned against the door frame and stood to listen.

 

[Soul Eu Min]

Cedar and Raven laughed at Maddie's enjoyment for tea. They could see how she's related to the Mad Hatter though.


" Is there something wrong? ", Soul asked without opening his eyes or ceasing to play the piano. He could sense someone watching him, a sixth sense which he inherited from his mother.

 

[Jess Buck]

Once there Maddie quickly found a seat and waited for someone to wait on them.


Raini stood up straight and blushed lightly.


"No nothing is wrong. Sorry...."

 

[Soul Eu Min]

" Hello, my name is Robbie and I'll be your server ", said a white little rabbit as he placed menus on the table.


Soul finished playing and opened his eyes. He looked over his shoulder with a smile on his face, " I assume you're here for the music room. Shall I take my exit then? ".

 

[Jess Buck]

Maddie smiled up at the rabbit named Robbie.


"Its nice to meet you Robbie. One pot of chamomile tea please. And some chocolate pastries please?" She turned to Raven and Cedar. "What about you guys? Any sweets for you?"


Raini shook her head


"No! Please, play on." She said with a smile. "I find it relaxing to listen. I was so stressed in the other room over..."

 

[Soul Eu Min]

" Dark chocolate cake please ", Raven requested while Cedar anxiously looked at the menu to decide what she would want to eat.


Soul chuckled in agreement. " Yes, I prefer quieter rooms. Hence why someone like Tai is my best friend ", he told her before continuing to play. He suggested to her, " Feel free to sit down. I won't be leaving until Tai comes so that we can study back at our dorm room ".
