Nobody liked to mellow out and just laugh at themselves now and then. It was all about status, competition, and beating one another at Quidditch. Such things almost bored him to death. Who cared about them in the long run? School only lasted for seven years and it was better not to squander that time with stress.
"I think you're starting to out-do me, though," he added, putting the comic book down again. What was the point of reading right now? The Gryffindor was having too much fun goofing around with Samira. "We totally could. You know what? I like that you're not afraid to poke fun at yourself, Samira. You're really different, but in a good way."
Samira giggled at the playful antics she and Levi were throwing back and forth. With all the stress going on in life, it was nice to just slow down and have fun.
The Slytherin raised an eyebrow. She felt flattered that Levi thought so highly of her, and a little taken aback. Samira didn't think anyone other than a few select people really thought she was fun to be around. She gave a genuine smile.
"Thanks, Levi," she said sincerely.
"Same goes for you." It was totally true, too. How many guys joked and called themselves the "King of Nerds"? It was so cool! Samira didn't get why more people didn't just...let loose. It was so much
funner more fun and easy.
"My parents say I'm really uptight, actually." Samira rolled her eyes, remembering how her pristine and proper parents who always found the negative about her.
"That I take things 'too seriously'."
Giving herself a mental shake to forget about the uncomfortable topic, Samira quickly returned to their light-hearted discussion.
"Our words should be totally unusual, but make sense. So we're totally original." Samira felt excitement build up as she went through all the possible combinations in her head.
