It had also been decided that seeming too eager about this might make the whole thing weird so she smiled some and then added, "Because going alone isn't much fun and because Astrea will be there with Sam and I want to make sure things go well on their date. Not spy or anything, but check in, you know?" That's what friends were for.
...
"Also I think it'd be nice-going with you. So, yes."
Sam's mouth split into a grin when she answered. Okay, yeah! Hey, that wasn't as hard as he thought it'd be. She hadn't even needed to think on it.
Except the further they walked and the more he heard Junia talk, the less pronounced his smile became. Because going alone wasn't fun and she wanted to check in on Astrea's date? He got this unpleasant sinking feeling inside him, and suddenly felt rather thick. Ew, Sam did not like feeling stupid. Nor like a sink-hole, mind you. His cheeks tinged red in embarrassment, but it was hardly noticeable and he gave off no other outward signs of disappointment.
Aah. Also, it would be 'nice' going with him. It almost made it worse that she said this as an afterthought, and he thought it best to change the subject. "Cool," he closed. "So, is this Sam and Astrea's first date?" He remembered the last time Astrea mentioned Girl-Sam to him, the Ravenclaw hadn't been into the idea of a proper date for some reason.
