Slow down heart-rate, slow down, she mentally said, trying to calm her nerves. "I ... i don't know what to say," she whispered. Except she felt like an idiot for thinking she was delaying him, when he was just enjoying the moments with her.
Moving on ... from that awkwardness. She smiled, "All the time. Polite is my other middle name," she teased, as his eyes surveyed the room, and hers did as well again. She felt her hand involuntarily squeeze Brent's, a feeling of luck in his transferring here and how blessed she felt right now at that moment. "Oh look, Kane and Isa went together?" Isa had mentioned something to her a couple days ago, now that Skylar thought about it, although she had been distracted with her own thoughts about what she was going to wear. "They look great!"
"Uh ... yes? You're heavier than me and you'd crush me if you fell on me?" she explained casually. "Although then again, I'm wearing a dress and if I fell first, then you can shield me from flashing two schools." She said thoughtfully, taking another few tentative steps down the staircase, they were almost at the bottom, and once she stepped down the final step, he asked her what first. She glanced around tentatively. "Um, maybe food? I haven't eaten a lot today in getting ready," and thankfully her dress was a little loose to account for bloating. "Then dance." She was kind of looking forward to seeing the spin on her dress. And of course dancing with her first ever boyfriend, who was pretty much the sweetest.
Brent was amused at how they were acting toward one another. One second they were being overly sweet to one another and in the next second, they were back to their usual sarcastic selves. He guessed it was a good mix for a newly-formed boyfriend and girlfriend.
Duuuuude. He was still getting used to the way that sounded. He grinned.
"You mean Skylar Diggory is at a loss of words?" he jokingly asked.
"I'm in shock." He laughed at her comment about politeness being her other middle name.
He peered out over the crowd when she mentioned the little bro and...apparently...the little bro's date.
"Hmm. So they did," he commented.
"Between you and me, I'd rather see him with Isa anyday than this other girl he's been hanging around." Saffron was cool and all, but Brent sometimes got the impression she was way more mature than his little bro. Call him an over-protective big bro, but Saffron and Kane worried him just a little.
He laughed at her detailed explanation about why
he should fall first should a fall actually happen.
"How about this," he suggested.
"How about we just plan on not falling at all?" That sounded like a way better plan to him than hammering out who'd go first should they fall. They were moving on to other things now, though...like food.
"I do like a girl who's not afraid to hit up the food table first," he said.
"I'm starved." He didn't waste any time on that plan either. He changed from looping his arm around hers to holding her hand, and then he steered them in the direction of the food table.
