Have you ever wanted to freeze a moment in time and redo it?
Kara wanted to do that. She had plenty of those moments.
She pulled her jacket close to her as she walked around the Black Lake one chilly, cloudy afternoon. Winter was coming early even in September and she didn't like winter at all. She loved the warm, but not blazing hot weather. Well, she thought with a scowl, you are from Scotland, you should be use to strange weather.
She sat down cross-legged close to the edge and ran her hand underneath the water. She saw her reflection in the water and was shocked to feel tears struggling to come out of her eyes.
She was lonely. And she knew it. She would never be anything more with Carlisle and that was starting to really become alright with her. Her mother always told her that she trusted people too easily and she knew that once again her mother was right. She always got hurt in the end, so why even bother right? But Alexis' words from a few days prior coming back to haunt her mind. About opening her heart to people. She knew Alexis was right too.
She then crossed her arms over her knees and hid her face from the world. And she did something she hadn't done in a really long time.
She cried.

Leo had had enough of being in the common room. People in there were being childish and bugging him, so he decided to go for a walk. First off he was going to go to the Great Hall and eat something, but he had just had dinner, so what was the point?
He could have gone to the library, but didn't want to do any homework. So he decided to head down the the black lake and just lounge around the murky waters.
When he got closer he heard someone sniffling and crying. 'Probably a first year' Leo thought, but as he got closer he noticed she was about the same age as him.
Leo rolled his eyes. He hated when women cried. "What did your boyfriend break up with you or something?" Leo drawled behind the girl.

(ooc: damn! I'm going to have fun with this! and this was before she met Ethan Erika)
Kara's head snapped up and she wiped away her tears roughly. She then turned her head towards the voice and saw a guy standing there with a scowl on his face and both of his eyebrows raised. The tone of his voice made her want to reach over and smack him just like Hermione Granger had punched Draco Malfoy earlier in the year.
She recognized the green robes that belonged to Slytherin and she knew that wasn't Erik Phantom, the guy Alexis had pointed out to her. Then who the hell was it?
She gave him a scowl and turned away from him, "What the hell is your problem?"

(ooc: I know, that was just Leo's perspective)
"My problem is you crying over something that is probably trivial." Leo said rolling his eyes. He did have to admit she was rather pretty besides the red, puffy face.
"What is so terrible that you have to shed tears and look weak in public?" Leo asked sitting next to her. She looked as if she could hit him with a very nasty hex and grinned at her.

(ooc: I know, I think it's going to be kinda interesting)
Kara scowled and moved away from him in disgust. "Well I never did ask for your opinion you know. You don't know me. I don't know you so why don't you just leave me alone? Are you so insecure about yourself that you have to insult others?" She asked not in the mood to argue with anyone especially this jerk who didn't even know her.

Ethan thought her anger was really funny and he leaned back on the grass and laughed holding onto his stomach. "Wow you are a feisty woman."
"Now I should apologize for my rude behavior before. How rude of me to assume your issues are so important to cry over. Please forgive me." Leo said with a bit of sarcasm in his voice.
"Oh and where are my manors. I'm Leo, and you are?"

Kara only shook her head in disgust and turned away from him. "Well when you have someone accusing you of things you never did, you tend to get a bit defensive. And only apologize when you actually mean it. Thank you very much." Kara replied as she then stood up and brushed her jeans off. She then grabbed some water from the lake and splashed it into her red, puffy face. Not only was she annoyed by this guy, but she was now also embarrased as hell. "Hi Leo, bye Leo." She replied as she turned to walk back to the castle. (ooc: I set it up so Leo can run after her if you want to )

(ooc: your wish is my demand)
Leo rolled his eyes and pushed off the grass. He ran up to Kara and grabbed her arm and turned her around. "Hey listen, there's no point to get snippy." Leo said getting angry. He didn't like people being rude to him.
"I'm sorry if I seemed rude before. Look I just don't know how to handle crying women. If you don't mind I would actually like some company by the lake, it's rather boring to sit and look at inky blackness all by your lonesome. Please forgive me for before, I am truly sorry." Leo said with his head down.
Leo had gotten several remarks about his behavior and was told to change it, and he was trying, though it was so hard.

Kara raised an eyebrow and then sighed as she snatched her arm away from his grasp. She just had a weird feeling about this guy.
"Well fine if you have a problem with crying women, but let me give you some advice for free. Don't insult a woman when she's crying. She's already upset and doesn't need someone negative like that at the moment." She replied and then realized that he was in his own way asking her to stay with him. Why the hell not? She thought to herself, she didn't want to go back into the castle and deal with her problems just yet.
"If you are truly sorry for hurting my feelings, then you can sit with me if you want to." Kara said as she walked back towards the Black Lake and sitting down in the same place she had sat before.

Leo followed behind Kara and just shook his head. "Well thanks for the advice." Leo said quietly sitting next to her.
"So I'm sure you don't want to go sharing your problems with someone you don't know, but maybe I could help take your problems off your mind. What's running through your head, and it's only escape is through your tears?" Leo asked and was completely shocked at what came out of his mouth. His mother must be wearing off on him.

Kara was completely shocked. She could not believe this guy was being rude to her barely a minute ago and now he was being nice. What in the hell was going on?
"It's a pretty pathetic reason. I was crying because I feel like I'm alone. Even at a big place like Hogwarts. I only have two close friends and they are both not in my house. Plus I'm also a bit lonely. Okay really lonely. I have a crush on a guy that I can ever have and it sucks. I know it is pathetic, but it's the truth. Now go ahead and criticize me, just don't make me cry or I'll punch you." Kara replied trying to be a bit stronger than before.

Leo didn't think about what he was doing. He leaned in and placed a kiss on her lips. This was the typical thing that Leo did, was act before he thought about it. He pulled back very quickly and scooted over so he was out of the range of a slap.
"Well don't feel lonely. There's always someone here who can cheer you up. I'm really sorry about your crush, but don't get down, you are a beautiful girl."

(ooc: Gah Erika! So was not expecting that haha! I'm sending you a PM in a bit)
Kara gasped in shock as she felt his hard lips being placed on top of hers. Before she could react, he had pulled away and moved away. She debated about leaning over and punching him anyways, but decided against it. In his own way, he was trying to be nice, she guessed.
"No offense, but why are you suddenly being nice to me? I mean, one minute ago, you were insulting me and now you just kissed me. You don't have a girlfriend or anything do you? Because I will not put someone through that pain." She snapped at him and then sighed. Snapping at him would only get them more mad and she would feel bad later on. Leo was just trying to help in his own weird way.
"Okay I'm sorry for that, I'm just very confused right now. Thank you for the nice words even if you didn't mean them and just said them to make me feel better. It's very rare I get compliments from anyone, especially guys. By the way I don't think I've told you my name, I'm Kara." She replied holding out her hand slowly seeing what he would do.

(ooc: I know I'm so evil!!!!) BIC: Leo waited for the blow to descend upon him, but it didn't so he let his guard down.
"Like I said before, I'm not good with crying women." Leo said shrugging one shoulder.
Leo extended his hand and shook hers. "I'm Leo, and no I don't have a girlfriend, and if you have a boyfriend, I'm terrible sorry, but if you do have one, then he probably isn't a good once since you are sitting here crying about being lonely."
(ooc: Oh, and I know you started this thread before Ethan asked Kara out, but I figured since she was dating him now it didn't matter, it's up to you though)

(ooc: I'm gonna have Kara be single just for the moment and she'll meet Ethan tomorrow)
Kara sighed as she released his hand, no, she didn't have a boyfriend and probably wouldn't have one for awhile. Not after her last relationship.
"No I don't have a boyfriend. yeah I know, but you can always be lonely even if you're dating someone. Sometimes people don't get to see one another and get lonely or something. Or if you feel like you're all alone in the relationship, like you're talking to a brick wall. And as for crying women, get use to it. You're in a place full of hormonal teengers. It doesn't matter what house you're in or the situation, you will see plenty of crying females around here. And not just me. I haven't cried in a long time. I normally bottle everything up and then I suddenly explode. Yeah I know not healthy, but I've learned to deal with my feelings that way. It takes me a while to fully trust people, especially men." Kara replied.
