Cruise Apartment

She laughed. "I'll be fine! It'll probably be quick and easy."

Kelsi stared. "Did you ever ask your mom what happened? Apparently it took my mom two days to get Robin and I out."

"...Uh no, I never did. I was always too shy to actually ask her. But, it can take that long?!"

"Including the contractions, and everything, yeah."

"Ewww..." she looked extremely uncomfortable and out of place.

Kelsi realized how she was making her friend feel. "Oh- I'm so sorry! Just look on the bright side- You won't feel half of it because you're thinking to yourself. 'Oh, I'm going to be able to hold my child!'" Kelsi sighed. "So, in a way, it's worth it, right?"

"I guess it is... but..." she bit her lip, an odd habit she did whenever she felt uncomfortable, confused, or just out of place. "What am I going to name it?!"

Kelsi shrugged. "Can't help you with that. You'll have to figure that one out with Nicolas."

"I know. But what are names you like?"

[remember when you were going to name her haruhi? aww.]

(I KNOW. C8)

"There are a few names I like.. Like... Emmanuelle, and Brianna. Also, I like the name Leigh-Ann and Cameron."

"Huh..." she looked thoughtful. "I don't really like those much. I prefer more old-fashioned names."

Kelsi raised her eyebrows. "Well, if I ever get children, I'm calling them that. And I don't care if you don't like them that much."

"You do that then! But Bri... I think of a brat when I hear that name."

"Really?! Why?"

"I'm not really sure, actually! I just think of a brat when I hear the name Bri or Brianna."

"Well, they both start with the same, don't they?"

She shrugged. "I guess. I was thinking Megan! Isn't that a nice name?"

"Ehhh... sounds like a bitchy name." Kelsi blinked, and began to laugh feebly. "Looks like we've got different opinions. Hey, Just choose what you want. I just hope the baby makes it through- and I hope mostly that you make it through too. I've got your back for this, you know."

[Megan in my grade=B1tch]

"Thank you." Rachel stood up, and she hugged Kelsi again. "I'll leave you be now. Thank you for the visit and support." And with a crack, she was gone.

It's been a week since Kelsi has entered the papers to the school. There she was, still sitting around. Ever since Rachel has visited, she has been thinking. Life does go on. It does keep going, and even though every day people die, their souls are still in the world. And when Kelsi thinks that, she feels warm and fuzzy.

So, technically despite how horrified and sad she may still be, she felt ready to get up and move on. So, that day when Ally came home waving papers around with a wide grin on her face, Kelsi joined in with the cheering. "Look! You're going to start the school in September, and by the summer, you'll be set for Hogwarts!" Ally cried and laughed. "That's really great, you know."

Kelsi smiled. "Guess that last year worked out pretty well with my schoolwork! Hey, just exactly where is the school again?"

"Oh, it's in London."

"That'll be rather far from home." Kelsi said shortly.

"Well, at least you'll be able to come home for the vacations." Ally sighed.

"Maybe I don't want to come back here. I hate it here. It brings back too many memories. Everything. The road, the stores, even the smell. If I go out for vacations, I'm taking my money and I'm going to visit each one of my friends."

Ally shrugged. "Do what you want," she said shortly.

"Where's Robin." Kelsi asked.

"Off to the Ministry of Magic- she's trying to get into journalling."

"Now? Why not wait until summer ends?"

"She, like you, wants to get out of here as fast as possible, Kelsi. So she's going to try and work this summer and then be able to buy an apartment near Diagon Alley."

"Those are so expensive, though!" Kelsi said angrily.

"Well, she'll go to the cheaper areas."

"Those are disgusting. And they're so close to Knockturn Alley. Does she know have unsafe that is?"

"Let your sister do what she wants, Kelsi. Worry about your own load."

Kelsi sighed. "Ahh, I'm going to go for a walk, okay?" she said with a smile.

Kelsi was in her room, going over the papers of the school. "Hmm... they've got high expectations. And the list of what to bring is pretty long, too." Kelsi mumbled to herself. All this stuff is so expensive... "Ahh, I'll just have to squeeze out all my savings! Find a part time job down there... Hmm... I'm not all that good at anything, though." Kelsi ran her fingers through her hair. "Ohh, how I hate being a legal adult..."
