He tried not to trip, that is until the person spoke.
The person spoke and the conclusion came of that person being: a girl.
Oh crap.
He looked up, forgetting the icky, cold juice that was now sticking onto his stomach and found himself dumbfounded. Orlando Renaldi was really stuck now. It was a girl. And she was talking. Meant, Lando had to talk back to her - which meant communication with a girl. Oh ... noes.
He tried to tell himself that he had just been talking to KT .. so talking to this new, random, pretty girl was no big deal - but his mind kept throwing troubles like this girl not being KT - .. KT who was like a big sister .. And not to mention, did he forget how much trouble he had had talking to KT when he had first met her?
BUT he was fourteen now. A FOURTH YEAR. Lando refused to feel like a fool and made an attempt to talk. "Oh .. It- Its no big deal." he mumbled, trying to grin like his usual way. "I am fine, are you?" he spoke, in a light tone. As if afraid - if he spoke too loud or not carefully the girl would be offended.
Wasn't that what the problem was with girls? Thats what his real big sister Emery had told him. That lots of boys failed to realized how they offended girls by not careful with their words.
"I am sorry, I should have looked where I was going."
Lexi smiled sweetly at the boy that looked like he might faint or something. "
No worries, it was totally my fault. I never watch where I am going. If my feet are on the ground there is a good chance that I might trip and fall," she said with a cute little Lexi giggle. Awww he was precious in an odd way. Well, not the kid looked odd or anything. He was just awkward. "
Would you like me to clean that up for you?" she asked indicating his shirt. She knew that
Tergeo would like siphon the juice up. She had used it like once before and was pretty sure she could do it again.
"
Oh don't worry about me! I am totally fine. I have taken MUCH worse spills than that and have the scars to prove it," she giggled loudly. "
My name's Lexi Denver. Fourth year Gryffindor. What's your name?" she said as she wiped her hand on the corridor wall and held it out for him to shake.
