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.

"I stayed up all night to help her with a Social Studies project her partners bailed on, eighth grade."

"Aren't you sweet," says Trouble, with apparent genuine feeling.

[palmofyourhand]

"That's no good to me," says Ethan. "I'm allergic."

[instar]

"What else was I gonna do?" shrugs Bella.

[pandion]

"Oh, that's too bad. They have other stuff, anyway."

[palmofyourhand]

"I'll be sure to take a look."

[aeskhyne]

"Leave her to it?" suggests Trouble.

[pandion]

"And tell me what you think of it," suggests Andi.

"We share a room. I have an easier time sleeping through noise than she does, but she would've had the light on, too."

But this is not really why Bella helped.

[aeskhyne]

Trouble laughs.

[palmofyourhand]

"Could do, could do."

[instar]

"She helps me with things, too, anyway."

[pandion]

"But will you?"

[palmofyourhand]

"I don't know, will I?"

[aeskhyne]

"Aww," says Trouble.

[pandion]

"You'd know better than me!"

[instar]

"What're you awwing about? We're twins and we act like it."

[aeskhyne]

"Yeah," says Trouble, "and that's cute."

[palmofyourhand]

"Are you sure?" says Ethan, impishly. "Maybe you're reading my mind."

[instar]

"What's cute about it?"

[pandion]

"No-o-o," laughs Andi. "I wouldn't do that without asking, that'd be mean!"

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan laughs.

[aeskhyne]

"You know," says Trouble. "People being nice to each other, having good relationships and getting along and stuff. It gives me nice fuzzy feelings."

[pandion]

"And Bella would get on my case about it if I read people's minds, too. 'Specially hers."

[instar]

"I suppose that's good, then. You an only child?"
