Oh Newt! She didn't mean for him to stand up again. Now she felt bad as he didn't look so hot. Well not "hot" as in attractive because --- let's be real---Brent Westwood was always HOT. "Hot" as in.... not doing too well. Anyway... She was rambling. Irene was ready to tell him off about standing up and to rest but she couldn't because he was.... well... already standing. Ah.. She'd try harder next time. OOHHHH well Brent was sweeeeet, wasn't he? He'd always been quite sweet and kind and.... She was rambling again. But there was something more important than rambling on about a boy that she had had a crush on when she was younger. Someone important to him was running away and he needed to catch up to her.

Irene smiled as she watched Brent chase after the girl. Skylar was her name, huh? Pretty name. She'd have to remember that. She could see that something was going on between the two. Mhm that was clearly more than "friends". Irene was glad that Brent had run after her because whatever they were going to talk about seemed important and Irene could wait to catch up with a friend for sure. She turned her gaze towards Madelyn's awkward cheering. She cringed slightly but still smiled at her fellow schoolmate. She frowned a little. Poor thing. Brent Westwood seemed to bring up a lot of unrequited feelings perhaps? There was plenty of fish in the sea... Or that was how the saying went... Or something like that.

Before she could confront the girl, Aurora had appeared out of nowhere. "AURORA!" she cried, returning her friend's hug. This hug was going to last for a long time. She was so glad to see her. She was finally heeeeeeeeere. Oh thank Merlin. "You're alive! I was so worried. I can't believe we made it." The challenge had been absolutely brutal. They'd have to talk after for sure.
