Playing hard to get (Kelsi)

[Artemis Regimus]

Artemis sat in the library, the one place he never thought he would be. He hated books and reading but he was only there to think in the only quiet place in the school. He had gotten over Bella finally and was happy for her and Zeke. They were meant for each other. Even thought Artemis had no one with him, he had his sights set on someone new. A Hufflepuff no doubt and he name was Kelsi. Artemis thought it was crazy, but she was beautiful and looked like the kind of person he could be with, if she wasn't Muggleborn.

He sat there quietly in the library thinking of what he could do to get her. She came off as playing hard to get, but when he was sitting she would sit next to him or on his lap. Women were confusing but if she was playing hard to get, he would do his best to get her. He wasn't one of those sappy people who gave flowers or candy and stuff, or maybe he was, but wouldn't admit it. What ever he was though he would have to do his best to win her over.

A few ideas had run through his head on what he could do. Some stupid than the rest but who knows. First he thought he would stand outside of the Hufflepuff Common Room entrance and play her a song, but he didn't know how to play an instruments, so the idea quickly left his head. He then thought about just taking her on a date and letting things run there course. He did that with Bella and that didn't turn out to well. He would have to be romantic but slightly less timid. He would have to act to make things go the way he wanted. He let out a sigh and leaned back in the chair shutting his eyes just thinking to himself. He didn't hear if anyone came in and he didn't care much.

In his mind all he thought about were ideas on what he could do effectively to win her over. He wasn't a man of many talents, nor was he the most interesting man in the world, but he was rich, handsome, caring, and protective. Or at least he thought so. He let out a deep sigh and looked out the near by window not paying attention to the door should anyone walk in, nor did he hear any sounds as he tried to tone out the world, so if someone talked to him he wouldn't hear it.

Kelsi couldn't stop thinking about  Athan, it has been bugging her. She couldn't believe Adonia either. How could she? Some friend, right? Kelsi rolled her eyes as she had been walking down the  hallway from the hufflepuff common room.  Maybe she could go read or study? But, the last time she had a study session with Anthony he had told her he was falling for someone. What was this world coming to? It was like Kelsi was living in some kind of horror movie.

Kelsi thought she had been losing her best friend forever to someone else and unfortunately it had been Adonia's cousin. It was like they were out to get her. Kelsi sighed as she headed for whatever direction she didn't care at this point. Where it led her was straight to the library as she has kept walking and not thinking about the turns she made.

Kelsi had opened up the door and saw a familiar person and she light up brightly. She was trying to play hard to get with Artemis but, she didn't know if it was working or not. So she had thought she wouldn't say anything and which she didn't. She made her way over to the book shelves that were the potions ones. She loved potions it had been her favorite. She grabbed a book and started to read it as she leaned up against the desk. She had on a straight legged pair of jeans, a pink tank top, and a black zippered up hoodie over It. She also had on a pair of pink converse tennis shoes on. Her hair was down and a little bit curly.

Kelsi continue to flip through the pages. Nothing really caught her eye so she went and grabbed another book. When she did that she accidentally sneezed and dropped the book. She went to go and pick it up.

Artemis blinked a few times as he heard footsteps coming down the hall. Te library was quiet and the hall nearly empty for slight sounds to be noticed. He looked to the door just as it opened and saw the familar girl walk in. He looked away again as she came into full view. 'Alright there she is, now i have to just play it cool and not fall for her little cat and mouse game...but what do I say' He thought quietly to himself. What could he do. Maybe just see how she would act or what she would do seemed like the best idea

He watched her out of the corner of his eye taking note of her walking pattern. Was it casual, flirty? Was she doing it on purpose or not? Many things came through his mind as she traversed the library. He had taken note of the stunning outfit, or atleast stunning to him, that she wore.  Her hair was curly and it looked either natural or planned. Did she know he was gonna be in the library, or maybe she thought she would find him in the halls and she wanted to tease him. Or did she dress like this on accident? What ever the reason she was beautiful. 

He watched her again still out of the corner of his eye and thought more about what he could do. Then almost as if his thoughts were answered, she sneezed and dropped her book. The perfect time to be the perfect gentleman and pick it up for her. He walked over as the book fell from her hands. He was quickly infront of the book and he bent down picking the book up for her. He smiled and looked at the title and then looked to her handing the book back. "Bless you, Kelsi. Thought it would be a good idea to come help you, and i couldnt help but notice you like potions. I am quite the potions fanatic my self." He hoped he wasn't coming off to creepy. Maybe this conversation was exactly how he could get her. Who knows, but it was worth a try.[/b][/color]

As soon as Kelsi had reached down for her book she looked up and spotted Artemis. She had smiled and pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. “Thanks.” She had spoken. She was relieved it was him and not some other boy. “Oh really? I love potions it’s my favorite subject and so is defense against the dark arts.” She had told him and took her book back that she was going to put back on the shelf. “So what are you doing in here anyways. I never expected a Slytherin to be in the library?” She had asked and kind of laughed. It was really odd I mean never in her life, well every once in a while she did. But, she didn’t see Artemis as a bookworm type. Kelsi didn’t really like books much just the ones that always had to teach spells and such to make her a better wizard for when she wanted to work for the ministry when she had gotten older. “So umm any plans for tonight?” She had asked him curiously. Maybe since the two had been here they could hang out.

[Artemis Regimus]

He smiled at her and looked her up and down subtly before speaking."Yea, not normal to see a Slytherin inside of the Library...but it's a quiet place for me to think mostly, it wasn't my first choice, trust me." He chuckled. If he had the chance he would of been in the courtyard, but there were too many people there. He could of gone to the common room but he would of, more than likely, seen Zeke and Bella down there. He had trailed off in his thoughts as neither of them spoke for a moment. His thought ended abruptly when she had asked if he had plans. Did he have plans? not that he knew off, he rarely did homework, he wasn't much to talk to people, he wasn't a prefect so he didn't have to do patrolling duties, and he wasn't on the Quidditch team. So no, he didn't have plans, but he was guessing he would soon. Why else would she have asked. He finally spoke, "I have nothing to do, why do you ask?" He smirked and had hoped, but didn't show it, that she would say for them to do something. He hoped he wouldn't mess anything up, he liked Kelsi, but hated the way she played hard to get.[/b][/color]

Kelsi looked up at him and smiled. He was rather cute. “Yes, I was a little shocked to see you in here Artemis. I didn’t recognize you at first when I walked in. Sorry I didn’t say anything.” She said and smiled playfully. She knew very well that she had noticed him but, she was just messing with him. It was rather fun. She really liked him a lot but, she didn’t want to get her heart broken again. She was afraid to fall in love like she did with Athan. That was the most stupidest thing the girl could ever done. When she had lost her first kiss to him too, it was rather awful feeling well not the kiss but, she wished it was someone different now. She had asked him what he had been doing tonight. She smiled when he had said nothing. She didn’t know if it was too soon for the two to hang out. “I was wondering if you wanted to hang out maybe go out by the lake and take a walk?” She had asked him softly speaking.

[Artemis Regimus]

Her smile was perfect to him, she was perfect to him, no flaws. Even if she did have some flaws, who cares, nobody is completely perfect. Perfect lies in what you can do, and if you think something is perfect, it doesn't matter what anyone else thought. He smiled back at her, his ever so caring smile, it seemed to work on Bella, maybe it would work on Kelsi. He looked into her eyes as he spoke."It's fine heh, I'm not offended, not many people do notice me." He chuckled, it was a joke, but that is how he felt sometimes, but he didn't care much. He always had one rule, never fall in love, but with Bella, it was hard not too...and when she left him, he felt like he shouldn't of broken his own rule. Now he saw Kelsi...he felt the same thing as he did with Bella, but this time it would hopefully last. He smiled to her still looking into her eyes."I would love to hang out with you...if you arn't busy we can go now...while it's still light out...or we can wait till later tonight. You decide, Moonlight stroll at the lake. or a Mid-day walk on the shore.."[/b][/color]

[Kelsi May]

Kelsie looked up at Artemis and she couldn’t help but chuckle at him. It was cute how he was trying to charm her. She wasn’t even so great with boys but, she had known he was trying too. Kelsi giggled softly running a hand through her hair putting a few books she had out away. “I’m sure they do notice you, I mean hey I did.” She said and joked a little.. Kelsi got excited that he said he would go out for a walk. “Sure, I’m not really busy now at all. I was just studying and I can use a little break and some fresh air. Plus I’m sure there would be a lot of stars out right now. So with that being said we can go now if you’d liked to. it’s up to you I’m the one who asked.” She had explained to him. She had grabbed her things from the table and slipped on her jacket and taking out her wand she made her bag disappear and go back to her room. “Are you ready?” She had asked him. She wasn’t so sure that she should hold out her hand or not so she left her hand slip into her hoodie pocket.

[Artemis Regimus]

He smiled at her and shrugged "Meh, guess you're right. Maybe some people do notice me" He smiled when she said she wasn't busy. All he wanted to do right then, was spend some time with her, He just liked spending time with her. Even if it was only for a little while, it was better than nothing. He nodded to her "I would love to go right now." He put a few books on the table away and watched her make her bag disappear as she put on her jacket. He looked at her, he was going to hold her hand, but decided against it at the moment. He let her walk first being the polite gentleman, and they made their way down towards the lake for a walk. He walked next to her the whole time, trying to think of what to say. He had no clue what to say at all, so he just kept walking with her until he finally figured out something to say "So...I was thinking....maybe after this...possibly tomorrow, or during the weekend...we can take a trip to hogsmead...and have a drink, and just relax down there..." He was subtly asking her out on a date, hoping she would say yes.[/b][/color]
