should have been more like her

she's beautiful

in her simple little way

Some nights were worse then other nights on the rector scale of excitement. Last night had been a total bore, something Roxanne Khristian Crest could not stand. She hated being bored out of her mind. Roxanne and Iris had had to return home for a family dinner. It had only been the parents and the twins for dinner though, Jonathan hadn't be invited. It wasn't until the first course that it hit Roxanne as to why it was they were forced to come home from school. It was the over bearing glare coming from her father that clued her in. He was mad, probably about something Iris and Roxanne had did while at school. However, Roxanne had a surprise coming. Eric Gabe Crest had other plans of discussion for the night.

Roxanne shivered as she remembered the cold words in which her father had informed her and Iris that he was closing in on a deal for their arranged marriages. He hadn't told either of them who it was that they would be getting married too, and Roxanne hadn't really expected him too. That night he had threatened them. Told them if they weren't on their best behavior, they would be cut off and kicked out. Of course if the old man had been paying a lick of attention to them, he would have already known that they were calming down. Picking their battles. It amazed Roxanne sometimes, just how little her father cared for his children. He wanted them to be the perfect slytherins, which wasn't too hard to do for the Crest children.

With a mental groan, Roxanne took out her newest broom that her father had bought her, and flew away from Crest Manor. It was fairly early, at least for Roxanne. She was use to wakeing up around one in the afternoon, after a party-filled night. Today, however, she had surprised her self and woken up at eleven am! After taking a shower and getting dressed, Roxanne had felt the need to leave the manor for an hour or two, too free her mind of the whole arranged marriages deal. If she knew her father at all, he'd be setting her up with some asshole. She was sure she was his least favorite child. She had always given him more trouble then the others.

Wasn't it good that she wouldn't let anyone roll over her? That she thought she was above the rest? Was that not what most Slytherins thought of themselves? It made no sense to Roxanne in the least that she would abtain her father's disapproval all beause she had more spirit then her older brother, who while he was a slytherin, wasn't a very good pure-blood. She supposed she and Iris were just always going to have their father dislike. Jonathan did not make things easier on then when it came to father. Of course, that would never make Roxanne think differently of her brother. She loved him, thought him to be one of the best people in the universe.

Following traffic of the sky, she quickly nabbed a parking spot in one of the many park lodges. Landing, Roxanne purse, Roxann headed straight for a well known cafe, Jitters. She went there mostly when she had a hangover, but she absolutely loved the coffee they served. It was not surprising that the place was fairly packed. It was a hit spot for most in the ArindaleValley. Sighing, she took her place in line, wondering vaguely if she could perhaps bribe her way up to the front of the line. She was a slytherin, and part of a well off family. It was beneath her to have to stay in a line with everyone else. Roxanne said nothing about it though. As a slytherin lady, she would just have to stand there looking refined, better then everyone else. She had been bred to be the perfect, nearly perfect, lady.

Iris shook some hair from her face, it may have been short but it didn't keep it out of her face at times. She, along with Roxy, had returned home for a family dinner, of course, their brother wasn't invited and Iris missed him sorely. But she kept the thoughts from her mind as she stood in the bathroom, fixing her hair a little bit. Roxy had needed to get away, and Iris understood, she felt the same way. They were the perfect slytherins...with newly arranged marriages. And because of this, dinner had been more tense than anything. Even more tense than what Iris thought it would be as the glare from their father bore them down, even though Roxy sat tall, Iris had somehow found the courage to do the same.

So she stood there, the next afternoon, fixing her hair, the events scrolling through her head as she applied a bit of lipstick to her lips and made herself look decent as she moved the bedroom. Roxy was at Jitters and Iris was going to meet her there. Sometimes, even her twin needed to be alone so Iris had let her go before her, knowing father wouldn't approve even of this. They were old enough, didn't matter. She sighed as she grabbed her broomstick and made her ways down the staircase. Of course, her mother was standing at the doorway, a small nervous look on her face. Iris just smiled at her as she walked out the door. Hopefully Roxy was feeling better.

Iris just hoped that everything would go over smoothly. Unlike Roxy, she was the one who didn't do too well in confrontation so as she turned, her father was there of course, the glare not as bad as one he would have sent on Roxy but bad enough to have scorched anyone and so she moved out of the house, not quickly, but kept her head up, a smile on her face.

Soon she was moving through the air and sighed as she flew down, getting off her broom and sighing as she was soon in line at Jitters. It was much of a wait thank god, but as she entered the packed place she looked around, immediatly spotting her twin and sidling over to her, touching her arm. "Roxy." A smile lit her face as her worries immediately left her mind, nothing like being with your best friend to cheer you up, let alone your twin. "Everything ok?" She could tell Roxy wasn't up to her best, but her elegant voice rang out a little more than others as she looked at Roxy, they were exactly the same height, making it easy to see her for some reason, even if they weren't exactly tall. She looked around, so many different people but she immediately recognized some people from school, slytherins, among others and made her posture a little more taller. What a day it had been, she thought as she awaited Roxy's response to her question.

The line seemed like it was never going to end,which easily got on her nerves. She had not been in a good mood in the first place when she had come to jitters, but now her mood was practically black. The line moved just a bit, and Roxy then swore that if something didn't happen to make all these people move, she would have a magical fit. Though she was going through termoil, Roxy just stood there looking elegantly unattached to the whole day place, even perhaps the world. Ever the perfect slytherin, she would never do anything to cause disgrace on her family or her house.Roxy immidately felt her sister coming into the store, though Roxy herself had not seen her. Roxy had always been able to tell when Iris was near. Roxy chalked it up to twin stuff.

Iris was then beside her in the line. She was asked a question, and Roxy would gladly answer with a bit of sarcaism." Just divine" She said almost grinding out the words to Iris. She was on a short fuse and only Iris would be able to calm her down. Roxy turned her head to face her twin, she had a slight smile, a smile for the rest of the world, but it was her eyes that would alarm Iris of just how her emotions were fairing. She wanted to scream off the deep in, but Roxy couldn't do that. Not now, not when anything she did would be reported to father. He was mad enough at Roxy to last a life time, she really couldn't, shouldn't add onto it. She was told to act with intergity as a slytherin because he would be fixing them up with a betrothed, a role that Roxy was not at all ready to handle.

She in no way shape or form wanted to get married, not at the moment at least. She thought there was so much more to life that she hadn't yet experinced. Like knowing if love actually exisited between a man and female. While she thought it was just a fairy tale, Roxy wanted it to be real. She supposed once a person is facing their loveless marriage that they grasp on to rediculous ideas, like love actually exisiting. If she spoke to Iris about it, Roxy was sure that Iris would set her straight. However now was not a time in which Roxy could freely talk to her sister about such things. There were far to many slytherins, as well as other types of people, around. She would have to wait until they left the place, and were nice and alone in the sky, before Roxy broached the topic with Iris, or any other personal topics at that.
