Thread: Not So Snow White (Mr Quixotic & Aurelia)

Preston Henry. Preston Henry. Why the hell did that name sound so familiar? Sofia figured she was about to drown from everything swimming around in her mind right now, for everything holy, she couldn't shut any of it down. And now there was this guy randomly appearing and distracting her with his rather charming smile and easy conversation. So much so that she barely noted what he had said until a few feet in. Her head whipping to look at him as her eyes grew a tad in shock. They had classes together and here she was acting like he hadn't even existed until a few passing moments ago. Well now she felt even worse then everything that was already twisting her stomach into knots. With haste, her head faced back forward while she felt the smallest of red starting to dust easily across her paler toned skin. If it was completely from embarrassment of having just figured out what she did, or actually still stress from everything crashing down around her, she couldn't be sure. It was probably a combination of both and that wasn't much more assuring. Sofia White prim, proper, polite, was being a complete idiot and frankly... a bitch. Least that was what she was feeling as, thankfully, Preston pushed the conversation on with her. He might have been trying to play nice, or more so, but Sofia didn't feel she could except that soon as she realized she hadn't taken notice of such a eye-catching being before. So finally, she was able to give a few quick nods and force up her smile before it grew to a real one as he spoke. I do believe I'll be taking Psychiatry next semester. I crammed as much as I could into this one since I had a bit more free time. So I tried to make them the easier classes. she explained with a soft laugh, looking back ahead. I love to see how the mind works as well, but now I'm a bit disappointed to hear the teacher will be anything but interesting. Her lips parted but she closed them again, drawing her tongue across to wet as she listened to his next few words, a smile growing a bit more easily and her head nodding in agreement to the nickname of her next classrooms teacher. However, it only lasted for that and the corner of her lips dropped back down to something more serious before she was shaking her head as if to quickly assure him it was nothing like that. Which it sort of wasn't. Sort of. The dean seemed ecstatic, but the part on her being in trouble was a huge yes. Trouble was the least, in fact. Best to just give him a little something. Ah, no. He was just talking with me about possible... side work I can do. Possible internship stuff. The female's eyes looked up to watch towards the door then before they slide over to the male as she felt his touch. A twinkle passing to her lips and partially to her eyes at the unusually kind gesture. Her lips parted, but then hung there as he spoke first. Her amber gaze carefully watching the blue one with a curious look. In a matter of seconds she had a thousand questions as to what he could be up to, or why he would possibly want a drink. Or maybe she was suddenly a bit off tilt with what task she had in hand now. Either way, she answered with what first came to mind. Thankfully, it was much more her usual self. I'll have to run to my dorm first, so make it six ten and we have a deal. Save me a seat. A wink passed and she gave a smirk before turning away a bit shyly almost, regardless of the action she had just given the male. Moving into the class with a minute to spare and found her seat for the time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She just wanted to sleep forever. After how long the day had suddenly started to take soon as Sofia had found herself in Literature class, it was almost to much and there was even the thought of going to her dorm and skipping out on her last two classes to just sleep and hope it would pull away everything that was pounding away in her head now. She hadn't concentrated but a smidgen anyway, she knew that much. From her mother's recent plans, to the Dean's own and then how easily she had taken the male, no Preston, up on a date. Was it even considered a date? Oh yes, like she needed to question much else at this point. She pushed that away as quickly as she could and decided it best to just see how the rest of the night played out. Pulling out her phone, clicked the screen to life to see it read six o' seven. A confident little smirk pulling as she saw she was actually a few minutes early. The best thing that had happened so far today if she was to put it in order. Pulling open the door to the cafe, she started into the wide room, letting the music of some popular song that was currently at the top hits softly played over the speakers. Students took up tables either by themselves or with a few others to group study or help each other with homework. Sofia had dropped of a few things she knew she wouldn't be needing to her dorm, and it also lightened her load. But she still was toting around her bag, ever the good student, thinking she might get some work done herself. That and it made it a bit more easy to read the situation with the blonde she was now looking for. If this wasn't just a date or something, she could play it off with her bag and actually study together. If it was, the bag would be set to the side for the time and thought about later. Win-win as far as the raven haired girl could think. A twitch of her mouth curled up on each side without thinking soon as she saw who she was looking for. Pushing between a few students and weaving past a table, she found the side of the one he was sitting at. Her hand making a first and tapping against the side to catch his attention before it unbunched and finger nails trailed across the top. Hope you didn't wait too long. she offered, even if she was early, or now, on time, it felt right to ask.
