She took her shoes off, pulled her feet up and tucked them under her, placing her books on the floor in front of her and picking up her copy of the Hobbit. That her dad had written in the front of when he gave it to her on her birthday. My own little Merry, happy birthday, love daddy xx
It was her favourite book, and she opened it at the bookmark. "Derry." she replied, a shy smile on her lips. "Nice to meet you."
"No problem." Really, it wasn't. Ella smiled and continued skimming her book. She couldn't help but miss her Fire Crab, Taco, as she got to a passage on the breed. Did Max ever inquire about the fire crabs? She'd have to write him soon and see.
"Nice to meet you too, Derry." BEAM. And the sixteen year old continued to read quietly for a while until another yawn threatened to escape her. She placed her book down and cupped a hand over her mouth, trying not to disturb the girl next to her. It was then she spotted the book the red head had and Ella smiled a little.
"The Hobbit, huh? Are you a fan?"
