He first glanced up at the stage and then around at the seats, looking for anyone he knew and liked. It was then that he caught sight of some boy scowling at him. Who even was he? No one Levi knew, so who did he think he was giving him a look like that? In return, the Ravenclaw gave him a bright smile and obscene gesture before leaning back in his seat and turning his eyes back to the stage. Loser.
The Slytherin rolled his eyes at Levi’s antics before continuing his way up the aisle. It probably wasn’t the best idea to get under the dude’s skin since neither of them really knew each other at all. But Mateo was still bitter that Etta still went around flirting with everyone and their mother when she was clearly whipped. Levi needed to control that. It just perpetuated all sorts of false hope. Totally unfair.

Mateo continued up the aisle, admittedly looking over at their fit Headmistress for a few seconds longer than he should’ve, but he was perfectly aware that the DADA dude saw him Yeet. Let’s be real, Hirsch probably wanted to wife her up too. Mateo called dibs tho, for the record.

A part of Amaia was disappointed that she had transferred to Hogwarts midyear and therefore not had the opportunity to try out herself, but then again she had found plenty of other ways to preoccupy herself and trying to keep up with Diego's ridiculousness as well as her own budding social calendar was more than enough.

Sans her football - a rare sight indeed but had she brought it with her she would have been far too tempted to try and juggle it in her seat rather than pay attention to her classmates (particularly her dormmate, Jessa) and the production. Spotting Noémi, the Ravenclaw nearly went to sit with her so they could support together, but her attention was drawn to a certain Slytherin and her eyes twinkled with that eager sheen that always seemed to come over whenever she spotted him. "Hola, Mateo," she grinned as she slid up behind him and gave him a an affectionate hug around the neck from behind before noticing his tripod. "What is all THIS for?" Although that was rather obvious, she was not clueless to these sorts of things. "Are you the official cameraman for the production? Did you also take head shots of the cast for the program? Are you going to upload this all online to your vlog too? OH! You know...you should have SEVERAL cameras...for multiple angles...and then you can splice together the best cuts of things and look even more professional," she rambled on, arms still around his neck as she gently swaaaaaaayed back and forth.

Oh. And there was Apollo! She waved in his general direction. Thought of him to hand out roses on Valentine's Day, ulterior motives or not. She still had hers on her desk back in her dorm, charmed to last.

Taking a moment to look around for whoever else might be arriving before the show, Noémi caught sight of Mateo setting up a camera. She watched him a moment, realizing that she had never heard from him again after that date they had. She had rather enjoyed herself, but couldn't help wondering if he didn't, or maybe he just didn't like her... which was totally fine too! she told herself. She had only signed up for that dating thing to meet some people and make some friends since she was new here. And... she had accomplished that, right?

She noticed too, that Amaia seemed awfully familiar with him, and she watched them for a moment. She supposed she shouldn't be surprised - her dormmate was so vibrant and beautiful. Who wouldn't like her? Noémi sent a bright smile and finger wiggle her way, then glanced back at the program on her lap again, idly flipping through the pages. She really needed to get her insecurity in check.
While Mateo was busy setting up his tripod, it seemed like the auditorium was starting to fill up. The Slytherin vaguely wondered if Misha was gonna show up at some point, seeing as his supposed tonsil-hockey partner / tutor had a pretty hefty part in the play. Tbh if Misha didn’t show, ‘Teo would sell him a copy of the production for the low cost of you’re-family-so-you-ought-to-pay-more-to-support. Heh.

With his tripod now set up, he worked on twisting the quick release plate onto his camera so that he could slide the DSLR into place. Fortunately he had just finished setting up when he heard his name being called, but before he could turn around to see who it was (though the Spanish was a pretty easy giveaway), his neck was being hugged and he couldn’t exactly sneak a peak. “Amaia, sup?!” he smiled, trying to play it off as if he were totally cool and way used to girl’s being this touchy-feely with him.

Before he could get to answering her first question, she went into a rapid, spitfire round of more AND then some. He laughed, letting his body move from side-to-side with hers as she swayed. “Totally,” he may have lied, but how lame would it be if he had to admit to being the UNofficial cameraman?! Myers didn’t think to ask him, which was lame af anyways, but Mateo was cool with it ‘cause it meant he could sell his copies for profit (which was a liberty he probably wouldn’t be afforded had this been an official endeavor). “Nah, I’m just the film guy.” That sounded like a perfectly reasonable and understandable excuse for the fact that he didn’t take headshots… Yeah? “Whoah, whoaaah, slow down, chica!” he laughed.

“I’m selling copies. See the old guy down there?” He pointed to some man who was probably the father of someone or another. “They’re suckers for these things," parents loved any memorabilia of their children’s glory days. Mateo was just here to exploit that for cold, hard cash. "Wanna sit back here and keep me company?"

Amaia’s arms were still wrapped around him when he made eye contact with Noémi, who he def forgot to hit up after their date. Y i k e. It really wasn’t his fault tho, he was trash at this ish. The feelings department was more of Misha’s thing (even though Mateo was too much of a wimp to admit it). His cheeks went slightly red in embarrassment, but he did take the awkward, uncomfy moment to send her a brief smile and wave. Maybe he’d try to catch her after the play and explain (a partial truth?). But right now he couldn’t really go off and talk to her because a) all of his equipment was here and b) a pretty girl had her arms all over him and he’d be an idiot to mess that up.
