Maybe write a letter or two. But he just couldn't get himself to do any of that. So...mindless wandering it was.
Attracted by the quacking noises which clearly belonged to ducks - or so he had assumed at least - Lewis had made his way over to the duck pond which was surprisingly quiet. Apart from a girl reading a book there was absolutely nobody there. As he stepped a little closer, his attraction was caught by the way the girl was turning the pages of her book rather furiously. What was she reading?! Taking yet another step closer towards her, Lewis tilted his head slightly in an attempt to read the title of the book.
Turning another page that was filled with farce, Sylia let out a stubborn sigh. She didn't want to read anymore but she always seemed to keep on reading. Ignorance was one thing she was not fond of and she wasn't going to slip into it just because of some quackjob author wrote lies. Her eyes rolled over sentences & paragraphs far faster than a normal persons should. Homeschooling from a publisher father was a blessing but it made her reading skills rather advanced. She could only imagine how the ancient runes professor will react when she tells him/her that she already finished the appointed book for the term. What could she say? It's her craft to read.
What was that? Her breathing slowed as she heard footsteps. Her hearing being quite adept to the sounds around her, she noticed when something was out of place. Was there someone else here? Slowly closing the book into her lap, she turned her head to look behind her. It was a boy, how simple. And to think she was imagining some kind of creature to pop up out of the woodwork. Blinking her large blue eyes, she saw him looking towards her intently.
"Do you need something?" She was almost inching towards ending the sentence with sir, but that was far to strange. She wasn't back home whom all she spoke to were adults.
Turning her body to face towards him, she kept her legs crossed and placed her hands on top of her book. He seemed to be looking at her very strangely. She didn't like it.
"If you don't mind, I would like to read my book in peace." Her Italian accent rang clear in her words. Maybe he would bother her, keep her from reading this terrible book. Would give her some time to release some of her annoyed feelings from her readings.
