Today was not Asher's day.It was never Asher's day. Her red hair hadn't been combed, but she didn't mind, since it was likely to catch on fire due to a backfire spell any day now. With what might have been the possible beginnings to lazy eye, Asher's green eyes roamed over the deserted hall. It was almost lunch time. Where the hell was everyone? Bored to tears and feeling like being social for the first time in -GASP -ever, Asher slumped out over the table with a groan.
Inadvertly, she began to hum. It wasn't any tune in particular, just an endless string of notes. Occasionally it would be the Beatles for awhile, and then go off into a Nursery Rhyme. Her clothes looked like she'd dressed with her eyes closed, or maybe with the lights off. The common room was rather boring in the summer. No more so than home, though.
Her pants were cargo pants - Asher had forgotten she owned a pair. It didn't help they were neon green. With orange cuffs. Yeah. Orange.
The top was some sort of wizarding band shirt from a concert she didn't remember going to. She'd spent most of the time thinking the stage would catch on fire - there had been quite a bit of pyronetics at that one. She wore flip flops, an odd shade of pink she didn't remember buying. Huh. You would think the second year had spent her days in a druggie haze.
Mostly Asher worried too much about everything to pay attention to what was right in front of her.
A chicken sandwich(inadvertly(it's the word of the day) poisoned) rested untouched in front of her. Chips (the potatoes had been riddles with bugs, she knew it) and juice (from rotten apples) sat there too. The only thing that HAD been nibbled at was the green jello.
Asher loved green jello. Red was NASTY. It looked like congealed blood, no it WAS congealed blood. Ewww. Asher poked at the jello with a fork, now humming something from a Disney movie she'd probably watched as a child, and almost fell asleep on the table. Why couldn't they have poptarts for lunch?
Being the only kid in the dining hall sucked big toes.
