Maddie wondered why Kyroh was ALL the way over there but considering he'd chosen to sit next to the head girl, she couldn't exactly ask him to move. If he got in good with HER, that'd be beneficial to them all. Smart thinking, Freckles. He got a big smile and a wave in greeting. Hellooo.
What she also didn't get was the whole scene that had taken place with Dot and Dima and the seating thing. She was wondering if she'd be left alone with Little Barrington when Dima arrived 'cause the latter seemed to be looking at Freckles and the red head with interest. But THEN he'd seemed to change his mind and come sit with her. Did that make her second choice? Did it mean he'd rather be over there but he felt BAD for her? Was she going to be replaced this term? LOTS of thoughts were happening. LOTS. She put a stop to them when her f-word took the seat beside her, though. "Hi Dima!" Smile for him too, she guessed.
...
Star dude wanted to know WHY she said that about the comics? Maddie gave him a quizzical look. She'd said it because it was the truth. She wasn't aware of the guy's reading habits and because of THAT, she didn't KNOW he read comic books. DUH. Seemed pretty simple to the brunette but she figured she could explain it to him later. For now she simply shrugged and smiled.
Eyeing the name tag curiously, Maddie wondered if they were meant to be pseudo-astronauts today. That's where all the best ones trained, right? NASA. And if all the BEST ones trained there, it was fitting she was wearing a name tag with a NASA title. *TAP!* "Maddie Cooper." How lovely. The second year placed the tag on her robes and smiled. Now WHAT was the prompt again?
What does the term astronomy mean to you and why do we study it?
"Astronomy is a good excuse to be outside at night and if you study it, you'll have a more convincing story when your older brother comes out to inquire why you're not in bed yet." PAUSE. "But also because the sky is really lovely to look at at night and if you know stuff, you'll be more appreciative of just how much stuff happens to make it so pretty."
GRIN!
