Calling on a Star (Stella~)

[Avinea Jale]

Avi was in the process of checking up on all of her friends.She had texted Odion and had a very interesting conversation with him, made plans to talk to Ash and was in the process of contacting the twins, who for some reason, were being elusive. Now she was going to call Stella. Hopefully her shining friend would pick up.

"Stella, Stella pick up~"

Avi waited for the phone to be picked up by her friend hoping she was in.

" I've got something to telllllllll you!"

If anyone else were in the room she would be thought crazy.

[Stella Pinyin]

Stella's mobile didn't get used much. Her friends knew that she wouldn't be able to read texts, and while Zac and Avi called her sometimes, they were just as likely to visit. So when her phone started ringing it took her a moment or two to find the thing. Luckily, her uncle had found a bright color to help it stand out and she flipped it open, holding it to one ear.

"Hello?" she asked, then smiled when she heard Avi's voice and crossed her legs, getting comfortable. "Avi! Hi!"

Laughing at the enthusasium in her friend's voice, Stella used her free hand to pull her hair back and twist it around her hand. "What is it?" There were other questions, general things since she hadn't heard from Avi in some time, but it sounded like the rather energetic blonde had something on her mind.

Avi smiled as she waited thinking. There was so much to tell Stella! and probably so little time. Stella was always doing something or another and Avi hoped she hadn't caught her at a bad time. "Stellllla~"

Avi grinned as the phone was picked up. "Stella!, I'm so glad I caught you!" Avi's enthusiasm could be heard in her voice. "Hey are you free right now? or soon? I want to bring you someplace. I need your help and your the only one who can help me!" Avi smiled as she spoke into the phone getting her shoes on, fully expecting her to say she could come over.

" Well, Lucy and I are sort of going to the dance, together, and we, yes you and I need, and I repeat need, to go dress shopping." Avi gave a grin and waited for her friends response. "Please,please,please say yes! I'm seriously at a loss of what to do here."

[Stella Pinyin]

Stella smiled happily and tilted her head to keep her phone pressed to her ear as she finger combed her hair. "Of course I'll help you, if I can," she said quickly, though the rather carefree expression on her face was fading slightly. "Drop in, of course. But, what's going on?"

Lucy was not exactly a familar name, but then Stella could name only about a handful of students at Hammel. So Avi was going to the Valentines dance? With a girl? In the last year Stella had learnt enough to know that from the way Avi was speaking she didn't mean as two friends.

Well then. Stella hadn't known Avi felt that way.

But wait, what? "Dress shopping?" Stella repeated, the smile completely gone. "Wait, Avi, I'm not sure, I mean, I don't really know much about dresses...." Even before her eyesight got so bad, Avi wanted to take a girl who was legally blind as a shop assistant? It did not sound like a good idea.

[Avinea Jale]

Avi let out a squeal that could probably be heard by her roommates as she smiled at the phone. "thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou" Avi gave a huge breath. "Thank you Stella! I really really really really appreciate it."

Avi got her shoes on all the way, keeping her cell phone to her ear as she started walking, grabbing her wallet and a jacket while she was in the common room. She closed the door, made sure she had her key and kept walking, going along the hallways her destination, Stella's room.

Hopefully she would be ready to go...

Avi nodded into the phone. "Yes dress shopping," Avi heard the voice change. "Please Stella? I... I really want you to come." Avi's voice was pleading with her friend."I'll buy lunch if you come... and even promise you cookies, for a week, no a month... please?" Avi looked at the door she was standing in front of.

"Please come open the door Stella, I promise we will do anything you want after, but please come with me."

[Stella Pinyin]

Holding her phone an inch and a half from her ear as Avi thanked her, Stella smiled to herself. It was always nice to know people still wanted to see you. Of course, Zac turned up enough for her to know he wanted to see her, but people needed more then one friend, didn't they?

"But Avi, I," Stella tried, then stopped and pressed her lips together as ehr blonde friend continued to plead over the phone. "It's not that I don't want to, it's just I'm not sure I can help..."

Her ears pricked, and as an experiment Stella held the phone a little further away from her ear. Yes, it wasn't an echo. She was hearing Avi's voice twice. "You're at my door, aren't you," she said into her phone before pulling herself to her feet and pulling her dorm door open. "Ok, we can go shopping. I have news too, so there will be lots to talk about." She finished, into her phone even as she raised her eyebrows at Avi. The situation was silly enough that she had to laugh.
