This whole walking to the boats thing was pretty easy once you got the hang off it. Sure she had nearly tripped over just about every bloody stone that laid on the dark ground in all her rush and excitement to get to the boats but that wouldn't deter her! She was on a march to the boats with all the other first years.
Coming to the edge of the lake she could see that the boats were already there. This was the perfect moment to let out a little squeal and so she did. Of course a squeal wouldn't be complete without a little shiver of excitement so there was one of those two as she stood waiting for the next set of instructions. Now that she was so close she could hardly contain herself. Half of her wanted to just jump into one of the boats and just hope it knew where it was going but luckily the other half of her knew better.
Or did it?
Resist Lex; you promised you'd be good...
With a heavy sigh she stood to the side and waited to be joined by the others who she was sure couldn't have been that far behind. Afterall, she hadn't been walking that fast in the first place. See there were already others arriving as well!
She took another step before feeling something collapse right on top of her sending her to the ground and leaving Felix rather unhappy. She shoved off the mass that had fallen on her than realized it was a familiar mass. "Pao!" Merlin she had forgotten that this boy was clumsy. "Are you alright?" Though she should have been half way through strangling him for making her wrist start throbbing again. Man...just when it had stopped!
She watched the figure of a frog land near her then Felix got into a crouching position. Oh no...

And, despite the darkness and unfamiliar terrain, the boy set off toward the empty boats at a run, eager for the experience.
He was just passing the last group of kids before he'd be passing the groundskeeper himself, when he was knocked off his feet by another student, making him grunt at the impact of the boy, and again when he hit the ground....and tumbled a few more feet down a slight slope.
"Oi!" he shouted, grin still plastered to his face. He wasn't mad. Hurt, maybe, but he didn't care. And he definitely wasn't mad. The other boy only helped him advance faster.
Aidan reached down to his fellow First Year, grabbed his hand, and started yanking him. It wasn't really in a 'let me help you up' fashion, but more of a 'let's go!' kind of drag. "Don't lay around! Come on!" he said as he yanked on the boy's arm.
He recognized that voice. Of course. Who else could he have possibly fallen into?
I'm glad it's dark... Though, his skin was usually too dark for people to notice him go red anyways. "
Alexa, I'm so sorry! Yeah, I'm fine. You?" He would feel very guilty if he had hurt someone because he wasn't paying attention to where he was going.
He barely had time to register that her cat seemed all too interested in Thomas when another voice broke the silence.
Shoot, did I fall into TWO people??? Even better than usual! Next thing he knew he was literally being dragged downhill toward the lake. "
Hey! I'm trying, I'm trying!" Because really, he
could go faster if he was allowed to walk rather than be dragged. "
Alexa, grab Thomas!" he shouted back towards the girl.
