The other girl was small whereas this one, Oichi, seemed to be closer to his age--
... Tap tap tap!
Blinking, Alec looked down at the new, younger boy. Was he nervous? Did he know that he had nothing to be nervous about? He, Alec, was the awkwardest boy around, no doubt. Maybe. "Hey there!" he said, grinning at the boy. Could he ruffle the boy's hair? Could he? It looked very ruffle-able. "Thanks! And I'm Alec, by the way. Great to meet you guys." That went to both of the girls as well as the young boy.
... Oh. Wait. "So... should we all work together as a group of four or... pair off into two groups?"
Wasn't Alec the name of the Head Boy? Gwen didn't have a problem with that, just, the Head Boy meant seventh year, and she was only eleven. So that would be really cool if she got to take some pictures with him. Not that he was a sort of celebrity, but basically he was the best student in the whole school, right?
Moving on.
"Let's just stay in a group," she said quickly. Four was a lot better. Besides, it allowed for variety of pictures right? Focusing on interaction or whatever.
"Oichi already went to get supplies."
Why was everyone in this group, including Gwen, just kind of waiting around for others to make decisions?
"Shall we brainstorm ideas on what we want to do for our pictures?" or maybe they should wait. Maybe the instructor had specific instructions for them. Or maybe she just wanted them to be creative.
