However, the laughing wasn't controlled when a pile of books went in the same direction as he had gone and she could just imagine the hurt he was having at this very moment. Book hurt. And not the hurt you got after you finished a really good book and felt lost, or when one of your favourites died in a novel. Nope. Actual physical book related hurt.
Hehehhe.
She leant forward and giggled, waiting for him to surface properly from the books and the floor with a grin on her face. She was a brilliant Prefect. Gosh, she should have been given an award for it. Elodie Robertser: Most Awesome Prefect Ever.
"Y'alright down there, rugrat? Need a hand?" Was he going to try get up again and fall? Oh, she'd probably cry laughing at that.
The chair. The chair would help him. Toby reached out for said chair in an attempt to try and pull himself up so he could sit down again, hopefully without all the catastrophic falling over. It was just over the older girl spoke up that he finally managed to heave himself up from the floor and into a sitting position, looking dazed and confused.
"I got it," he said, holding up a hand to show just how in control of the situation he was.
Not. "I'm okay. I'm cool."
But WHAT had happened? Toby only needed to glance down at his feet to find that out. It was his laces, of course, which had somehow ended up tied together. Toby looked up at the prefect and smiled yet again.
"Guess my laces must've got... tangled up," he announced, leaning forwards to try and untie them again. In reality, he must have known that that was almost impossible, but if he suspected the prefect, Toby didn't let it show. When his laces were retied, though, he decided to remain sitting.
Oh boy. Books everywhere. A couple at a time, Toby started piling them back onto the desk.
