ooh, british accent

[pandion]

It's not like Andi never noticed him before. He's totally cute and everything. She's been noticing boys for, like, a while. (She doesn't have the date noted in Inscrutable Cipher like Bella, but it's definitely been a while.) It's just that until he had to give that report in week two of American History she didn't hear him talk very much.

Mmmmmmmmmmm British accent. There's probably kinds. She can't identify this one and doesn't care, they're all yummy. He's yummy. Yum. She's going to have to talk to him at lunch, or something, if she can get him off by himself. Maybe Bella will help.

Andi scopes out the situation around Ethan Rayne, He Of The Hot Accent, at lunch.

"Ooh, you tell me how much I care about my social reputation," snorts Trouble.

[pandion]

"Huh. I bet if I tell Bella about this she'll look it up for me."

[instar]

"I'm going to guess, 'not'," says Bella.

[aeskhyne]

"You win!" says Trouble, clapping his hands. "Wanna guess your prize?"

[palmofyourhand]

"Bella your wingman?" inquires Ethan, with a gesture over his shoulder at Bella and Trouble.

[instar]

"Ten dollar gift certificate to Staples," suggests Bella.

[pandion]

"I, um," says Andi.

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan smirks.

[aeskhyne]

Trouble makes a buzzer noise. "Ennh, wrong!"

[pandion]

Andi squirms. "She's just, you know, talking to your friend."

[instar]

"Do I just keep guessing?"

[aeskhyne]

"Until you give up," Trouble agrees.

[palmofyourhand]

"Very well-planned operation," says Ethan.

[instar]

"Is there," Bella inquires archly, "actually a prize, or is it just entertaining to listen to me name random objects?"

[pandion]

"...Thanks?"

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan laughs.

[aeskhyne]

"One way to find out," says Trouble.

[pandion]

"Well, I mean, she said she wouldn't mind, so."

[instar]

"Only if I guess correctly, which I can only verify in the case that there is a prize," Bella says.

[aeskhyne]

Trouble shrugs. "Does that mean you don't wanna play?"

[palmofyourhand]

"And you didn't think I'd notice?"

[instar]

"Enh. I don't have anything else to do with the rest of the lunch period." She finishes off her banana. "I should probably be guessing things you might actually have on you. Stick of gum? Thirty-seven cents in assorted change? A snazzy-looking pencil?"

[pandion]

"I didn't actually think about that," confesses Andi.

[palmofyourhand]

"Not so well-planned after all."

[aeskhyne]

"Ooh," says Trouble. "You're good."

He rummages in his pocket for a moment and pulls out a pencil. The paper wrapped around the wood is sparkly pink, and there is a large eraser on top shaped like a chunky blue-and-pink butterfly. It is unsharpened.
