"He likes her. He just doesn't know it yet.'' Good luck to Angel when the Dragon did figure stuff out. Adi had no idea how Benny would get those feelings out to her. He was a shy one after all.
Yes, he knew she was third.
"Not bad, Valentine. Next term, try to keep up with me and the number one spot.'' That right there would motivate her. See if it didn't. Good thing AJ was a competitive one.
"Don't you be so sure about that.'' Hehe. Annnd she was holding his shoulder!
They weren't holding hands but he'd take it.
"What are you talking about? Hufflepuff is the best, you're the one who should be sorry.'' Cue a grin.
"You,'' Adi answered automatically. Too late he registered the damage. Eeep! Moving on!
"Um, yeah!'' Oh heck. Had he said that a little too hastily and enthusiastically? He inhaled and continued.
"I mean Benny and Angel are too busy for you right now. So I'll just have to stay to keep you from feeling too lonely.'' Yeah, just go on like he never said anything wrong. Just joke stuff off.
AJ was just going to go with whatever Adi said because Benny was his best friend after all.
"Look at her." Poor Benny. He hadn't shooed her off of him yet, but it was obvious that he was uncomfortable.
"Could you imagine acting like that over somebody?" AJ laughed at the thought.
"I think Angel would be good for him though, get him out of his shell." In the past year Benny had only said maybe 20 words to her total. That was insane to think about.
"You're number one?" Her mouth was slightly open when she looked up at him.
"It's on next year, Rehman." AJ was going to her hardest to beat him just because she was competitive. It had nothing at all to do with Adi.
"Hufflepuff might be nice, but it's not Gryffindor." Look around, Gryffindor was the place to be.
"You can always go visit the house cup in the trophy room." If he was feeling sentimental or anything.
Blink.Blink.
"What about me?" Maaaaybe she shouldn't have asked that, but she couldn't help but to be curious. She took her hand off of his shoulder and smiled.
"You're such a good friend." AJ didn't care about his reasoning, she was just glad that he was here. The lion could sit with Zander or Lex if he wanted to go back to his table. The first year hoped that he wouldn't though.
