Magic of the Four

Kanishka

Kanishka

There was a long heck of a painful awkward silence dragging on between the three faeries as they stood in the room after Mrs. Deane had closed the door on them and Cal left the room with her.

"Right, I'm going back to my nap that was so rudely disturbed while you two can unload your stuff" Niki said without looking at them.

Kanishka crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at Niki "Actually I was here ever since two months ago" She said in a cold tone and Niki shrugged indifferently

Charlotte cleared her throat and both girls turned to look at her "Hi, it's so nice to meet you, I'm Charlotte, I'm so glad we're roommates" She managed as nice as she could as she approached Niki's bed, she waited warily as Niki scrutinized her with as much energy as a slug.

Niki went under her covers and turned to the wall "Save the sweet talk princess barbie, maybe later when I'm not feeling so tired"  

Kanishka watched Charlotte bite her lip and set down her bag on another bed, she quickly whipped out her phone to text her mum.

Angrily, Kanishka marched over to Niki's bed and slapped the bed hard, jolting Niki awake.

"Hey what's the big idea?" Niki demanded furiously as she kicked off the covers

"I should be asking you that question" Kanishka hissed at Niki, both of the girls' brown eyes meeting. ''Me and Charlotte are your roommates, we come in here, find a grouchy girl that doesn't bother with an introduction and tosses off the only person who is attempting to put up with you, what's your deal dude?" Kanishka fumed with her hands on her hips

"My deal is sleep, your deals are to let me sleep, and don't try to wake me up again" She rolled over and pulled the covers over her head

Kanishka cracked her knuckles in frustration and slung an arm over Charlotte

"Don't mind her, typical FEFI nutcases" Kanishka said in a low voice, she looked at Charlotte's luscious locks of hazel hair and stroked it preciously, in confusion, she started wondering why she felt so drawn to protect and stand up for Charlotte, it was almost as if Charlotte had some sort of faery charm, as in a special and stronger faery charm than the usual faeries did, she noticed that with Cal too. Cal the unsentimental idiot, shocked her when Charlotte stumbled on the stairs and he offered to hold her hand up the stairs, she swore she saw a little spark when their hands touched, it was rather sweet, but that wasn't really them point, she'd have to try find out what was inside Charlotte.

"Hey what's your nickname? Kanishka asked Charlotte suddenly, Charlotte lifted her head and frowned. "I've never really had a nickname" 

Kanishka raised her brows "Really? Why not" 

"I never really had close friends in my human school, I was sort of an outcast in my human school" She explained

"But don't like the prettiest girls get all the attention?" Kanishka asked in surprise

Charlotte held back a smile from the generous praise "Well, I don't consider myself THAT pretty" She replied modestly and Kanishka rolled her eyes

"But it was just that, I've always been really weird because I looked far too inhuman and you know abnormal coloured eyes" She admitted

Kanishka coughed "Humans are so weird sometimes, on facebook they're all 'OMG I love your eyes girlfriend' She mimicked a typical high school girl pitch-perfect "But then when a girl with the real deal pretty eyes comes along, it's not acceptable"  

"Yeah, I never had a real best friend, my only sort of friend was Tania, but she was kind of like me, not welcomed in the society, and when the populars came around she'd pretend she wasn't with me, because I was in a lower stage than she was" Charlotte grimaced, clearly not a topic she liked to chat about.
