Ellie nodded. Time really did fly when you were having fun. And she definitely had fun that term, spending it with with her friends. She sighed a little. "Christmas? I, uh... Visited my mum and brother in Ireland." She said a little awkwardly. After all, that may have been the most awkward few weeks she'd ever had. And most frustrating. "Er, yeah it was... Okay." She shrugged. "What about yours?" She asked him with a smile. It was probably a lot better than hers.
Alex and Ellie, taking a leisurely stroll through a pleasant maze... A smile played on Ellie's lips. "I would be delighted to join you." She said in response. She hooked her arm in his and began their journey through the maze...
Alex nodded his head a bit frustrated.
"Yes they said no, just because it wasn't 'english' enough." he rolled his eyes when he made those little air quotes.
"I could have walked around with an english accent..." Like, duuuh. Then he would have been english enough wouldn't he? Stupid rules. He didn't like rules. He noticed her little snort and his eyes flickered to glance at her. Eeek, he shouldn't have mentioned his Superman outfit, not to the girl he liked. It wasn't manly, hot or schmmmexy as he was supposed to be. Oh, he could be so stupid sometimes. Alex ran a hand through his hair, (could you believe it was just as messy as when he was his normal height?) and tried to think of something to say.
"So... Anyways moving on." he chuckled lightly.
"What do you think of the party?"
It didn't take a rocket scientist to understand those weeks of Christmas hadn't been the best ones. He fingered some on his vest and glanced at her sideways.
"Oh and... How was it? I mean other than okay?" Could it have something to do with the fact that she had been thrown out of class earlier that term? Could it?!
"I didn't go back to New York, I just spend it at... My friend's house." he said. It felt a bit awkward to talk about Emma with Ellie, so a friend would have to do.
He bowed his head a little when she hooked her arm through his and they started to walk forwards.
Na, na, naa na na What could possibly happen? The prefect couldn't have made the maze dangerous because they didn't want the students dead, unless of course they had figured out that it was Alex who had turned that Puffer boy's underewear bright pink... Then they might be in some trouble.
So, why did a tea party have a maze? Like, what was the point? Something round, white and fluffy skippered past them. A rabbit.
Another rabbit? There couldn't be any point at all. Purely pointless. But then again, he had met Ellie in there so, the maze did score some plus points.
