Even though she'd been a prefect for a year now, it still always made her go all shy and embarrassed whenever someone asked her about the badge. Could she not, like, be an undercover prefect or something? It'd make these things so much easier for Iris. The blonde girl eyed the boy awkwardly. Well... Now what?
Iris could see that he was younger than her... so she didn't think that asking for his help would be much use, really... "Uh... I'm Iris, by the way."
Yeah... Getting to know names of people is usually helpful. And makes things less awkward.
Well, most of the time, anyway.
Oh so Alex hadd been right, huh
he was smarter than he thought.
"Yeah I know." he smiled. Wait, did that sound like he was a total stalker? Yes, yes it did.
"I mean hi. I'm Alex." Muuuch better. He should know that you answer an introduction with his own name. Facepalm.
Awkward silence.
Um... He was pretty sure he could hear his own brain working to find a subject.
"So what are you looking for?" he blurted out. Ouch, not a good thing to say. As if he could know what a sixth year
and a prefect was looking for. Great, juust great.
