So instead he gave his usual, close-lipped smile. He was happy to have her sitting here.
"Nope, I like sharks best of all." Though he had read about the squid and the other creatures living in the lake at Hogwarts. "I heard it's pretty rare to see the giant squid..." His eyes drifted out over the water.
That is, until he heard someone asking to sit in the boat. Sam looked up to see another girl their age, and he shifted his bum over some to make room for her. "Enter at your own risk. That girl there might make you wipe out in the process." Genny, naturally. Quote:

This boat seemed to be quieter than the others; no sound of impeding watery doom or something about a bird. She didn't have a fear of water, but she didn't exactly know how to swim either. Sharks and squids were all the same to her.
"Mind me joinin' ya?" she asked, as she started to step in. Sharksy liked sharks best of all, mhmmm, no surprise there. They only knew each other a day and Genny already noticed his obsession with them. She wondered what her 'sharks' was? Nothing in particular. Was that sad? "How do we know? Maybe the people who saw him disappeared and didn't get to tell us." She countered in what she thought was a sophisticated argument on her part, thank you very much.
WHY did he keep saying that? And to a new girl! Genny's face turned slightly red (though who could tell in this dark night?) and the words came out of her mouth instantly, "This boy's name's Sharksy." TAKE THAT. "And you're welcome to our boat. I'm Genny, a normal, human name." Unlike Sam's.
Whew, her small ball of anger vanished. Being mean was such a good outlet. |
