He was submerged in his own thoughts, but it never hurt to make sure...
Turning around, much too late it seemed. He managed to catch a bit of the conversation the boy and girl beside him were having.
.............CUTE?
Benjamin.
Cute.
Him.
Cute.
Huh...
Interesting thought. Benjamin had never gotten that from a girl before. Back at home, whenever a girl liked a guy, it's be a huge secret. If any girl had ever seen him as CUTE, he wouldn't have known.
But she had touched him. She had admitted it to the boy she was speaking to. How odd. This girl was much more different than the girls he was used to.
Wait. Was he, Benjamin....blushing? No. He couldn't be. But, oh yes, his face felt hot. But, maybe he just had a fever. Yeah, a fever that had to be it. Not blushing. Please. Benjamin Farley does NOT blush.
Slowly turning away and tuning out of thier conversation, Benjamin decided to pretend as if she hadn't done anything.
Unfortunatly, if she was looking - which he wasn't sure he was as he was paying too much attention to the fact that he had a *ahem* FEVER - then she would have definately noticed that he noticed that she touched him.
Iris walked into the Great Hall alone, having lost Aaron, Satine, Lucia and Wesley on the way in. There were too many students, if you asked her. She walked through the hall slowly, looking rather meerkat-like, searching for at least one of her friends. She couldn't find anyof them. Then she saw a familiar blonde boy, sat near the Prefect ... What was his name again? Never mind, and some other girl. He looked pretty uncomfortable around them.
HA! Cartwright, uncomfortable. That's just made my day.
Then 'Cartwright' turned round.
Whoa ... That is not Cartwright. Wow. It's ... It's ... He's cuter than Cartwright. What are you saying?!
What? I'm not allowed to say some one is nice looking?
What about Aaron?
What about him? We're not technically going out.
Sure your not.
We aren't! Neither him, nor me, have ever asked the other out.
Still, don't go having those thoughts.
Why not? They aren't hurting anyone.
Yet.
Seeing as though none of her friends were around yet, she made her way over to the boy... He was new, but he looked too old to be a first year. Iris smiled at him as she sat opposite him. For a moment, she forgot that she was wearing make up, and she forgot that Cartwright thought she was going out with Aaron; this guy's eyes were amazing.
"Hi there, I'm Iris." She said simply, with a small smile.
