[Jimjamz]

*ahem*


The night was cold and foggy, giving the landscape outside of medenham hall a slightly eerie feel. The faint sounds of a party just outside the grounds could be heard. The boarding school was in total darkness, except for one lit window on the third floor...

[Fassbender Fan]

*inside the room*

Cassie peers put the window into the darkness, straining to see..

"What are you looking for?" asks Thelma happily munching on some biscuits

Cassie sighs and turns round to face Thelma, a faraway look on her face..

"Nothing"

She shakes her head and breathes deeply as if awakening from a dream, smiling, she kneels on the bed besides Thelma..

[Jimjamz]

"You dont need them" Thelma says through a gobful of digestives. Cassie gives her a playful smile and quickly grabs the half-full biscuit packet from her spiky haired friend.

"Oi!" Thelma says in mock annoyance, reaching to grab her precious snacks back. Cassie giggles and holds them futher out of her reach. Thelma gives her an evil grin and lunges, making both the girls fall off the bed into a tangled heap on the floor.

"You made me do that" Thelma whispers tenderly, slowly inclining her head towards Cassies. Just before the two girls lips met there was a loud knock at the door...

[Fassbender Fan]

Cassie pushes Thelma off playfully and jumps to her feet to answer the door, Thelma crosses her legs indian style and sulking grabs the biscuits

Cassie opens the door and is surprised to see Roxanne and Gemma standing there

"I hope we are not...interrupting anything?" Roxanne says suggestively peering over Cassie's shoulder at Thelma, who happily replies to Roxanne's question with her middle finger.

"Leon and Troy have invited us to their room and we were just wondering if..."

Cassie's face lit up

"...we could borrow your copy of Yeats? Roxanne finished her sentence smiling at Cassie.

The smile disappeared from Cassie's face

"Yeah. Sure." She hands over the book

"Bye" Roxanne and Gemma smile and leave, Cassie closes the door

"She's such a BITCH" Thelma announces standing up..

[Jimjamz]

"A total BITCH" She sulks, angrily throwing her biscuits down on her bed side table.

"She only wanted a book..." Cassie says, seeming a little unnerved. She climbs into her bed, and turns away from Thelma.

"At eleven at night?" Thelma spits, throwing the door a hard glance, "Yeah right. She just wanted to see if she'd walk in on anything"

"Well, she didnt, did she?" Cassie says quietly.

Thelma throws her a furious glance but doesnt reply. She starts to get into her own bed, all the while muttering something about 'fringes and scissors'.

"I hope she's bloody happy" She finally says, reaching to turn off her bedside lamp, "Talk about killing the moment!"

[Desultory]

Thelma opened her eyes, and gazed across the room at Cassie while she slept, wishing that Cassie did the same for her whilst Thelma lay dreaming. Cassie rolled over, pulling her duvet over her head. Thelma sighed.

"Shame Roxanne and Gemma didn't walk in on anything... that would surely give them something to talk about..." Thelma muttered angrily. She now gazed at another object, sitting on her bedside table. Leaning forward, she gingerly grabbed the packet of biscuits, trying not to rustle it as she opened the plastic wrapping. Removing a digestive, she carefully nibbled at it, trying not to wake Cassie. She looked over at her sleeping roommate, planning in her head possible outcomes had Roxanne and Gemma not been so desperate to disturb them. Then, confident that Cassie was sound asleep, she took a rough bite, mumbling obsceneties directed at the troublemaking Roxanne.

Unbeknown to Thelma, Cassie had heard her crunchings and murmurings and had stirred from her sleep.

"For Gods sakes! Its... 3am! What is it, Thelma?" Cassie pulled her sheets from her and gave Thelma a hard stare. Thelma smiled cautiously, not sure of how to reply...

[Jimjamz]

"Cassie" She said slowly, "About last night..."

"It still is night" Cassie grumbled, giving Thelma a sleepy glare, "Cant you tell me this in the morning? Its just like you to try and strike up a conversation in the early hours"

"If Roxanne and Gemma hadnt have come in" She continued, ignoring Cassie's previous statement, "What do you think would've happened?"

"I dont know what your talking about" Cassie replied quickly, tearing her eyes away from her roomate.

"Well" Thelma said, stepping out of her bed and starting to slowly advance towards the blond, "Maybe I can show you"

[Fassbender Fan]

Cassie's eyes widened and she sat up in her bed.

"What do you mean Thelma, this is no time for jokes, go back to sleep..."

Grinning, Thelma advanced toward her her fingers entwined in the ties of her shorts.

"You know what I want, don't play the dumb blonde now. And I know you want it too.."

[Desultory]

"Thelma... we've been over this topic before..." Cassie nervously tried to avoid the watery gaze of her roommate as she advanced towards her. Thelma perched herself on the foot of Cassies bed, and smiled.
"Really, Cassie... if Roxanne and Gemma were to come back at," Thelma paused to look at the clock momentarily "3.06, would it really matter what they thought? Does their opinion mean that much to you?"
Thelma leaned forward, and gingerly kissed Cassies lips. With a gentle movement, Thelma was pushed backwards onto the soft lavender fabric of the duvet.
"Yes."

Thelma looked up at the plaster of the ceiling, and then closed her eyes. Cassie could see a tear emerging in Thelmas eye. The blonde closed her eyes also, and a million thoughts ran through her already crowded mind. There was silence for several minutes, as the two lay thinking. Then, Thelma heard a familiar, comforting voice in her ear. "Wait"...

[Jimjamz]

Thelma opened her eyes to find Cassies blue ones staring at back at her. The two girls stayed like that for several minutes, lying on there sides, facing each other, not saying one word. Finally Cassie glanced at the alarm clock.

"Its 3:06" She said gently, tucking a stray strand of Thelma's dark hair behind her ear.

"and what are you going to do?" Thelma asked, cautiously moving her hand to gently caress Cassies cheek. She felt the blonde quiver at her touch.

Cassie smiled slightly, and stole a glance at the window, were a fine drizzle had started. She looked back at Thelma.

"Would it really matter?" She whispered, leaning forward...

[Fassbender Fan]

Their lips met, they kissed tenderly and Cassie's hand slowly brushed Thelma's skin, their pulses racing..

The moment was cut short by a loud buzzing growing louder and louder...

Cassie opened her eyes greeted by the sight of her alarm clock loudly buzzing. The display flashing '7.06'. Stretching she switched the snooze button and crawled under her duvet.

Had it all been a dream?

She threw off her duvet and packed her washbag for the shower, as she did so she glanced over at Thelma who lay deep in sleep, one leg over the duvet and her mouth open wide. Cassie smiled..of course it was a dream she reassured herself before leaving for the shower-room...

[Jimjamz]

She turned on the shower, feeling slightly disorientated. As the hot water ran, she replayed her 'dream'. Or had it really happened? It had seemed...so...real, the way they kissed, they way they touched, everything...

"Media today"

Cassie gasped and dropped the bottle of shampoo she'd been holding. She glanced out the edge of the shower curtain, and spotted Thelma at the sink, with a what seemed to Cassie a very self-satisfied smirk on her face.

"You okay?" She called, her voice slightly muffled from the toothbrush in her mouth.

"Yeah...Im...fine" Cassie muttered quickly, as she grabbed a towel and wrapped it round herself. Thelma gave her a questioning look as she hurried to the changing room.

[Fassbender Fan]

Thelma shrugged her shoulders and continued to brush her teeth.

..and did you see the look on her face" Roxanne's voice trailed off as she and Gemma entered the room.

"Morning Thelma.." Roxanne uttered in a sickeningly sweet tone of voice.

Thelma spat her toothpaste in the sink and walked out boldly.

Roxanne rolled her eyes, "What is her problem?" Gemma asked unpacking her washbag.

"Sexual Frustration maybe?" Roxanne joked maliciously

[Desultory]

Roxanne and Gemma turned to look at Cassie, smirking. Cassie looked towards the floor, trying to avert their mocking gaze. She then slowly walked towards the sink, and began too to unpack her washbag.

"We definitely didn't interrupt anything last night, did we Cassie?" Roxanne said with a sarcastic smile. Cassie turned her head sharply to face the two girls, who seemed to know more of what had happened than she.

"No." Cassie laughed nervously. "Theres absolutely no chance of that." She was still trying to win acceptance.
As Cassie laughed more confidently alongside Gemma and Roxanne, a saddened face poked its way round the side of the door - Thelma. She had heard everything that Cassie had said, and although it was not much, it hurt her badly that Cassie could dismiss her so easily. To pretend it had never even happened. Cassie turned away from Gemma and Roxanne, and noticed Thelma's bitter expression. Forcing a smile, Cassie joked with Roxanne "Definitely sexual frustration."

And with that last dismissive comment, Thelma stormed into the corridor, feeling upset and betrayed...
