Esmeralda never even looked at him. "If you're uncomfortable standing, you should sit," she said blandly, her eyes focused on the wall. It was impossible that she was talking to anyone but him, since they were the only ones in the room, but she could have been addressing the wall she was looking at for all the emotion in her voice. When Xavier attempted to take the knife from her, however, her hand tightened on it. She didn't want to give it up - but now it was more of a comfort thing, like a child with its teddy bear.
Her window was open, and just as Xavier asked his question, the stormy winds kicked up and her door slammed shut. Esmeralda glanced over at it absently, but her eyes still didn't turn to Xavier. It seemed she'd almost forgotten he was in the room. Her free arm had risen and was now draped lazily across her body, maybe in an attempt to protect herself. Or maybe something else.
It took her a few minutes to realize that he had asked anything, and eventually she just shrugged, her face still turned away from him. "No," she said quietly. "You don't want to hear about it, and I really don't want to talk about it. It's not real until I have to talk about it."
She slowly sat up, turning the knife around and around in her hands. Her eyes were on it, not on Xavier. Maybe she was pretending he was someone else. When she spoke, her words were flat, blunt and perfectly clear. No mumbling, no embarrassment, no shame. "I'm pregnant. And the father is dead."

(Well thank you i do try to make Summer naughty but i'm glad we're amusing you infinity lol. And know I've never learnt not to eavesdrop lol Oh and sorry I had to jump in lol I couldn't take it not being part of the action anymore lol) Summer heard the last part of what Es's said even when the door slammed shut. Summer was surprised she didn't know what to think about Esmeralda being pregnant much less the father being dead. She had had enough of waiting and eavesdropping so she got up and then opened the door and walked in saying, "Why couldn't you have told me this earlier before you tried to take me head off?" Summer said it in a calm voice for she wasn't really mad at anyone she was just upset about the fact that Esmeralda trusted Xavier more than she trusted her.

((OOC: I gotta tell you, wolf, that if I were in Ez's position right now, having someone eavesdropping on me and come in to tell me all about how they know my deep dark secret because they heard me tell someone else, I would kill them both right then with my paper knife. >.> Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.))
Esmeralda stood up abruptly when Summer came in. She never said a word, but the gaze she turned to Xavier was full of hatred - and a sense of betrayal. It was obvious that she thought he'd set it up so that his girlfriend could listen in. Turning her back on him, she walked past Summer and out the door without so much as a glance in her direction.
Despite her original intentions, she didn't go far. She had been planning to go to the barn, maybe hide in Sahara's stall until the sense of anguish and fury passed. But she ended up just going across the length of the cabins and going into her brother's, which he always left unlocked. Full of that cold anger, she sat on the bed and stared across the empty room after locking the door behind her.
She'd thought Summer a nice girl. Apparently that thought had been wrong. She and Xavier deserved one another.
~
Roman laughed easily. "Probably," he said. "I'd rather not keep getting dumped on - the wind is warm. It shouldn't make any of the horses sick." He stepped out of the barn and turned his head up to look at the clouds. "Yeah, it looks like mostly a dry storm now. Coming?"

" Why is it that females are assigned to the color pink, and males to blue? Ever heard the phrase 'real men wear pink'? "
When Roman walked out of the barn, Kahlilia stayed for an extra moment or two to take one last look at the horses. Most of them were getting drowsy, or sleeping, and the remainder were eating.
There was no doubt they would be alright - she had no more need to worry. So, on that thought, she walked out of the barn just a few moments after Roman had.
The wind tousled her hair immediatly, the dampness of it suddenly alive in some sense and flowing around behind her neck like a drape.
She smiled a little bit, glad the storm was at least halting for the time it would take them to get back to the cabins. As far as she knew, this might be what was called the eye of the storm. No way to tell, in her opinion.
During the time that the air was warm and drier, Lily became aware of just how wet they had really gotten. In that realization, she was suddenly anxious to change her clothes and take a nap - or something like that.
Once they came to the division of their seperate cabins after a few minutes of walking peacefully, Lily held up a petite hand in what was sort of a friendly wave and smiled again. I guess I'll see you tommorow.
She would have to check the clock on her phone once she changed, but she could guess it would be close to sundown had there been any light from it. There were slivers of the oranges and pinks, thin lines of optimism through the grey, but otherwise it was hard to tell.
'Bye for now.
And with that, she walked into her cabin - but not before glancing back for a split second and smiling ... flirtily.
 " Theres always tommorow, unless the world explodes today. In that case, you're pretty much f -- ked. " 
Xavier sighed deeply when he experienced the second unhappy reaction between the two girls, running a hand through his hair and turning not only paler, but tenser this time as he saw the look in Esmeralda's eyes. Now, he was semi-slouched again, making him look a few inches shorter than his actual height - but even so, he was still tall.
He had tried to say something to her, but what would have worked? Damnit, he had an incriminating sense of what might happen. For one, she still had that stupid paper knife. Second, she might as well just try to murder them now. Wonderful.
Suddenly tempted to go after her, but not moving except for straightening and crossing his arms for a moment, looking at the floor because he didn't know what to do. What was there to do now? Hide and beg for their lives, like stupid little ninnies from horror movies; or stand here and wonder?
He would have enjoyed a third option.
Becoming blank again in all aspects, Xavier walked over to Summer until he was five feet infront of her. How long were you there? His deep, lightly accented voice was not edged with anything other than a sudden numbness, which could be either good or bad. As he had asked the question, he uncrossed his arms and gestured towards the door.
Now he was in debt times two.
Not fun. Not fun at all.
Then, he just shook his head. Hoping everything would go back to a normal state soon, or whatever was normal here.
Well, they were all in for quite a ride ...
( OOC // Well, in that case they're screwed. xD )

Roman smiled a bit, going slightly red when she gave him that flirty smile. "Tomorrow," he agreed. "Don't forget that we both get to expand our horizons when we go riding." With a chuckle and a wave, he opened the door of his cabin and froze.
Esmeralda was curled up on his bed, her eyes boring through him before she seemed to realize who he was. Then she smiled wearily and sat up. "Hey," she said lazily. "Wondered what was taking you so long."
"Ez, what are you doing in here?" Roman demanded. Even as he asked it, he stepped inside and shut the door behind him. Then he crossed to the little chest of drawers, stripped his wet shirt off and went to look for a new one. Pulling one out, he began to unfold it.
"Well, I figured you probably wouldn't be getting lucky tonight, so you wouldn't mind if I came in for a while," teased Esmeralda wickedly.
Roman glanced over, frowning. Something in her tone didn't sound right. As soon as he looked over, his hunch was confirmed - her eyes were too bright and the faint flush that came over her face when she was about to cry had come up. Abandoning his quest - which, by that time, had been for new socks - he went across to the bed and sat on it. "Ez, what's wrong?"
Esmeralda blinked back tears. "More than I can tell you," she said wearily. "Roman, we've really gotta talk."

" Why is it that females are assigned to the color pink, and males to blue? Ever heard the phrase 'real men wear pink'? "
Lily changed quickly, putting the wet clothes by the window in hopes they would dry if the sun came out tommorow. Now she was barefoot and looking at the faintly chipped chartruese polish on her toenails. As for her clothes, she was wearing a long sleeved, cream colored turtleneck dress that held snug around her body and ended at the middle of her thighs. In truth, it would have very much resembled a nightgown of sorts had it not been quite as ... fitting.
Then, she went through her 'bedtime procedure' - washing her face, brushing her teeth, taking out her earrings and combing out her hair. Although she had in fact tried to dry it a little after changing her clothes, she decided to let the rest of it dry naturally and thus wrapped her hair in a towel turban.
The only problem was that she couldn't sleep.
She refused to go on her bed. Sitting cross-legged on the floor just beside it, she listened to some chattery voicemail messages from her mother. Other than that, there was one or two text messages from some friends back home. They were very much in good spirits, talking about current events back at home ("Oh my gawd, Shawn is totally dating Debbie now. Theres a ten year difference! Isn't that gross?! Come on, say thats gross.")
The same girl's message also managed to irk her.
"Lily, you gotta tell me something now. Have you met any guys? Have you brought one of them to your room [or whatever]? You know what I mean. I want you to meet a guy soooo badly, Lils. After whats-his-face you've hated humanity and we all know it. Go out there and walk with your chest out or something, you can do it!"
This, naturally, was her way of inspiring. Kassandra was model gorgeous - dark, flawless skin, huge almond colored eyes with lush red lips, pin straight brown hair, and of course her 'hourglass' figure. She drove men crazy, especially because she knew it and always walked with her head up and her large chest straight out. Lily sighed and shook her head, deciding not to answer because she might have bit her head off somehow.
Before turning off her phone, she remembered to check the time. 6:58. Wow, it had been a pretty fast day.
Time flies when you're having fun.
Still feeling restless, she finally managed to completely unpack what was left of the remnants in her suitcase. She had uncovered a baby blanket her mother had packed in a corner, which she frowned at but nonetheless kept it close to her side. For some reason, mothers just knew like that. Damnit, she was eighteen! At least she didn't sleep with it. She just held on to it when she was scared or sad.
Over the next half hour, she decided to finish blow drying her hair and put on some body lotion. Now she smelled like warm hair dryer and vanilla raspberry but still did not want to sleep.
She wondered what Esmeralda and Roman were up to.

(Well it'll add more drama to this whole thing smile and i'm not sorry about it lol but if that person is found guilty of murder the secret will come out and then everyone will know it)
Summer paled when she saw the look on Esmeralda's face. When the girl walked past out her the door she flinched out of the way. The when she saw the look on Xavier's face she knew that she shouldn't have said anything about what she had heard or shouldn't have been eavesdropping in the first place. She flinched at the numbness in Xavier's voice and wonder if it was good or bad. Instead of directly answering him she backed toward the door and said, "Well, um, I don't think I'm going to tell you that. I think I'm going to go run and hide, so, um, bye." Summer then turned and started to run out of the door and she was going to head to the barn and ride Shadow even if it was still storming.
