The Weekend

Begin!

Note: Yeah I know Prufrock didn't have weekends, but this is just a fanfic so anything is game!

~Klaus' POV

Finally, the weekend! God we've only been living at this Hell-hole school for five days and I'm already sick of this place. I had just woken up on Saturday morning and was on my way to the broom closet where our friends were forced to live. For some reason, they weren't at breakfast and I was curious as to why so I was heading over to see them. Ok that's not the only reason I was going. I had another very good reason named Isadora Quagmire.

Ah, the name gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Lovely Isadora Quagmire; she was one of our only friends at this miserable school, along with her triplet brother Duncan. I don't know when my feelings for her really started, but they increased more every day I was with her. She was beautiful, intelligent, funny, inordinately kind, creative and passionate and just the most wonderful girl I've ever met in my 12 years on this earth. I could go on about her for hours! I was thinking of asking her to come with me to the library today. With every step I took I felt my legs turn to jelly; I had never asked to be alone with a girl before and I was already nervous enough around her normally. This was practically asking her on a date! I hope I don't choke. After a while, I had finally reached the Quagmires' broom closet and I proceeded to come up with my plan.

"Ok, you can do this. It's just asking your friend if she wants to go the library with you, that's all. It should be easy, right? Who am I kidding? This isn't easy!"

I stared at the broom closet door and tried to will myself to knock. I took a deep breath.

"It's just a question," I repeated to myself internally.

Slowly I reached up and knocked on the door. I silently hoped that Duncan wouldn't answer; it'd be too awkward to have to ask to see his sister. He'd tease me about I'm sure. After a couple seconds Isadora opened it and stepped outside, but kept the door partially open behind her with her hand on the knob. She smiled up at me and I felt myself melt inside. God her smile was beautiful.

"Good morning Klaus," She said, "Sorry we weren't at breakfast with you guys."

I quickly snapped out of my trance, "Oh, that's ok I was just coming to make sure that you're alright. We were worried about you guys..."

She giggled, "Well I'm fine, but unfortunately Duncan isn't. Remember how on Thursday we heard that Carmelita had a cold? It turns out that she went to class yesterday anyway, and gave Duncan her cold by sneezing on him on purpose in Mr. Remora's class. I'm surprised she didn't give it to Violet too since she sits right behind her. Guess she thought it would be worse to give it to one of us. So, I have to take care of him today; that's why we weren't at breakfast. We'd hate for you to get sick too."

I felt my heart drop, "Oh..."

Suddenly, I heard a cough come from inside the closet and a scratchy voice say, "Izzie I'm not sick."

She rolled her eyes and said to me, "One second."

She leaned into the doorway and replied, "Yes you are, you big baby! Now shut up and get some rest or I will drag you to the nurse's office."

"Alright, sheesh," Duncan's voice responded weakly.

Isadora turned to me again, "Sorry about that, he doesn't like to listen to me when he's not feeling well. You should have seen how Quigley would act whenever he was sick. We couldn't get him to sit still for even a minute and it always made his recovery slower. Duncan's a little more cooperative, but he complains just as much. Anyway, is there anything else you needed while you're here?"
