Anyways. Right back to the plan. So Simon didn't want to do the song either? GREAT! This meant the skit was in. As for costumes and stuff... Zander hadn't really come prepared for that bit.. Granted, there were some supplies out if they wanted to get creative like Zahra and Ethan had. HEh. He couldn't help but laugh at his friends silly antics. Not Zahra's, Ethan's. Because the latter was his friend. And not the other one.
Right. Anyways. He turned his attention back to Sophie as she began speaking again. Good. She was cool with going with the skit, too. Which was a TOTAL relief. He watched as she grabbed for her book back, and made his way to do the same. "Right, um nice thinking," he smiled and looked over to Simon to make sure he was on board and stuff. "... I think we're good with just the packs... And if we need to.. We can just pretend with the other props?" That was what this acting stuff was about anyways, right? Pretending?
The Gryffindor took a small step back as Sophie's eyes lit up like WOAH. What had happened because suddenly she was so, SO excited. Fifteen-no-sixteen? Uh okay? He didn't really look like a sixteen year old, but uh pretending? "Oh-okay, Yeah, I'll be your--" Wait.
B-B-BOYFRIEND!?! O_____O Where did that come from?! The third year suddenly stopped midsentence as he came to the realization of what he had just signed himself up for.... Boyfriend??? Uh. What. He soon found himself blushing violently too. Welp. This was certainly a step up from holding hands with a girl last lesson. Boyfriend? "Um..." Gulp. "boyfriend" The word sounded totally and utterly weird coming from his mouth. What. Next time he really needed to think things through before blindly agreeing to something... Had he processed the word before officially volunteered, this whole thing would be resolved.

That was good. He rubbed his hands together and blew on them to warm them up. Zander had a brilliant idea. Pretending with the props! "Course, that'll work." He flashed his friend a grin. Yes, brilliant idea. They could just imagine it all happening.
WAIT? Why had Sophie proclaimed that one of them HAD to be her boyfriend? Couldn't they, you know, be three platonic sixteen year olds going for a nice hike in the snowy mountains and happen upon some big, scary footprints? Yeah, that sounded good to Simon. After seeing Zander's reaction, Simon had a feeling that he'd have to step up. You owe me one Zander. Especially if Grayson murders me in my sleep tonight, thought Simon. He eyed Grayson for he didn't want Grayson to kill him for pretending to be Sophie's boyfriend but then again it was all play acting and she HAD asked one of them. So he played it out oh-so-cooly. He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "I'll do it. So should we get this show on the road?" he asked, looking at his "girlfriend" and best mate.
Sophie looked back and forth between both boys. So...who was it going to be? Don't tell her they'd both wimp out on this. Just when she was about to ask a second time, Zander spoke up and took on the role.
"Perfect," she said. But why such hesitation? Surely a cool and fun guy like Zander had had plenty of girlfriends. She decided not to dwell on that thought for too long, though.
...and then Simon volunteered, too, which made her extra proud of these guys. They were being such good sports!
"Well, either one. You two can fight about it on the way up the mountain," she said. Then she smirked and said,
"Just kidding." Well, didn't this make her sixteen-year-old pretend self feel extra special? Now she had two boys maybe willing to die for her in a Yeti attack.
"So the three of us have decided to take a hike up a really cold mountain...for whatever reason. Should we just play this as we go?" Would it be better to write a script for this, or should they just start and see where it led them?
