Scar's Birthday

[scarlette]

Scarlette sat in the cafeteria, looking at the meagre muffin infront of her critically.
"Well, it's not much of a birthday cake but oh well," she muttered, picking it up, about to take a bite out of it when she heard a shrill voice behind her.
"Wait, wait up," Mist cried, running across the corridor to her. She snatched the cake out of Scarlette's hand and put a candle on top of it, lighting it with a match first.
"There!" she exclaimed, sitting down next to Scarlette, smiling eagerly.
"Yay. Happy Birthday to me," Scarlette said cynically, but still with a reluctant smile. Maybe Birthday's weren't that atrocious, mentally scarring and truly evil afterall.

Casimir held a bow in his hand whihc had a ribbon one and was neatly made up, well that's what he thought. Jase had helped him chose this present, and hopefully he had good taste as Casimir could hardly see what he was buying for his girlfirend. It had been an awkward situation. a very awkward one, but hopefulyl she would like it. Striding into the hall, he sat down at what he remebered to be the nearest bench as he tapped it with his cane. Sitting down, he hung his head and sighed. It was hard tog get used to this blindess and he never knew where was going. So, hence, he sat there in the hall, hearing the clamerous society around him, hoping that some one who he knew would help him find Scarlette.

Cat entered the hall as cheerfully as possible, carrying a medium-sized box wrapped in bright orange paper. The events of earlier were still on her mind, and she doubted that she was ever going to forget and get over them, but for now she tried her absolute best to be happy. She was about to bound over to where she could see Scarlette sitting at the table, but she noticed Casimir going in the wrong direction. Back at the hospital, she had promised to help him out a lot, so she turned in the other direction and placed her hands gently on Cas's shoulders, turning him around. "Wrong direction, bud," she said kindly.

[~Caroline~]

Casimir was slightly startled, but at the sound of Cat's voice he calmed down and sighed. "Oh. Thanks," he said simply and let her guide him to where Scarlette was sitting. However before they arrived he asked her a question. "What did you get her?" he asked, in a slightly preoccupied tone, wondering if what he had got her was good and was somethign that she would like.

[Kateykins]

"Don't mention it," Cat said pleasantly, holding the ribbon around the box in one hand and guiding Cas with the other. She leaned closer to his ear so that Scarlette wouldn't have any chance of overhearing, even though she was on the other side of the cafeteria. "I got her a really big hat. It's quite hilarious... it has bright purple and green and red and yellow feathers on it and it's really sparkly. I hope she likes it. What about you?" she whispered.

[~Caroline~]

He raised his eyes brows and nodded, impressed. "I think she will like that," he mumbled back. "I got her a tie i think. Jase thought it was nice so yeah i went with his advice and got it. I hope she likes it though, considering i hardly know what i'm about to give her." He sighed, his smoker hat, similar to the ones in gangsters movies shadowing his expression

[scarlette]

Across the sea of faces, Scarlette called out to them, smiling radiantly, she beckoned them over.
"Hey guys! Oh my god, are those presents?!" she half asked, half yelled, seeing the brightly wrapped packages in her friends' hands.
"I never get presents. This is so cool," she exclaimed, rushing up to them hugging Cat first, then slipping her arm round Casimir's waist, kissing him gently on the cheek. She wasn't too big on public displays of affection, but for them it was alright

[~Caroline~]

His cheeks turned a crimson red as he felt Scarlette's lips upon his cheeks. She led him on a bench where he sat down beside her. WHat he had in the package was not a tie. But something she dearly wanted. Something that he had too and that he knew she envied; A zen. Not an iPod. A zen. Sighing he turned to where Scarlette was and smiled. "Happy birthday!" he said softly, blinking slightly as he leant forward and kissed her on where he thought was her lips. He was getting used to this blindness now, as he put his cane on the bench beside him.

[scarlette]

Scarlette weighed the package in her hand, frowning.
"It's small, square-ish, is it chocolate maybe?" she asked peering at it, searching for some clue as to its contents.
Carefully, taking great pains not to tear the wrapping paper, she opened it. When she saw what it was, the first thing she did was scream...loudly. It wqas lucky she didn't drop it in surprise.
"But..how? Why?...aw..Thankyou, so much!!!!" she yelled, throwing her arms around him, squeezing his shoulders so tightly, she was worried for as moment that she would break his bones. She drew back, gazing at him in admiration, before kissing him quite forcefully on the lips. It was easy to ignore the surprised and disdainful mutterings around her when he was so close to her.
She drew back again, blushing and out of breath. "You shouldn't have. It must have cost so much. I don't deserve all this..."

[~Caroline~]

He felt his cheeks turn a crimson red as he blushed. "Of course you deserve it. You're my girlfried after all. For the money wise, my mother left alot of money behind, so that was good. ANd for the how? Jase helped me pick it out and i knew you wanted on," he said, a broad smile curling on his lips clearly pleased that she liked it as he curled a arm around her waist and drew her closer to him.

[Kateykins]

Cat smiled, happy that her friends were not completely depressed. She sat down across the table from them and slid her box across the table with a smile plastered on her face. "Stop kissing and open my present," Cat said loudly, but she meant it very jokingly.

[~Caroline~]

Casimir smiled at nudged Scarlette, turning to look at Cat. "Yeah, open her present," he said.

[scarlette]

"Ooh, yay, another one! I've never hsd so many presents before. I feel so special," she said enthusiastically, opening Cat's present as slowly as she had Casimir's. Seeing what it was, she laughed out loud before putting it on her head.
"How do I look?" she asked, before hugging Cat.
"Thankyou so much. I feel as if I ought to give you a present now too. Would you like a muffin?" she asked, reaching for one, still smiling almost manically.

[~Caroline~]

Casimir could not see anything, not being able to see Cat's present however curious he was. he groaned under his breath, cursing his disability, but hearing the sound of scarlette's proposition for a muffin he smiled under his hat. "Yes please," he mumbled, but not sure if the question was in fact directed to him.

[Kateykins]

"Sure, muffins are good," Cat said cheerfully, accepting two and passing one to Casimir. She broke a piece off of the top and stuffed it in her mouth. Today she was feeling much better than usual but she still noticed that Casimir was not in high spirits. She tried to think of something to cheer him up. After all, it was his girlfriends birthday.
