At times, socialization was a tad bit overwhelming for him. He was only ever comfortable with his friends and his family at the Stemp House. However, Benji's presence did not go unnoticed. Drew didn't always acknowledge a lot of things, but he was at least aware of his surroundings.
Drewett finished the sentence he was scanning through before looking up at Benji. They shared a dorm and all, but the Ravenclaw knew that his roomies needed space which he respected. It was kind of ironic, really, that he didn't know Benji that well. Perhaps it was because Drew spent more time with his owl or Hudson lately, or that he was a bit pre-occupied with the inevitable drama in his life. Which is unfortunately, for someone so introverted, a lot.
"Hey," Drew greeted as well, offering a small smile as he folded the corner of the page before closing the book. That way, he'd remember where he had stopped, and it would also seem disrespectful to divide his attention when talking to someone else. "I... yeah, a bit..." If anything, he was way advanced and far into their textbook already. "How has your d-day been?" Drew was working on upping his small talk game, he really was.
"'S been okay," Benji shrugged.
"I'm pretty tired, though. How about yours?" He wasn't really in the mood for complaining, so even though his day was closer to "meh" than "okay," he was content to leave his answer as it was.
He glanced over one more time at the Hufflepuff table, trying not to be obvious. He didn't want his roommate to think he was a jerk or not paying attention to him. He just really wanted to catch a glimpse of the girl he had to sneak around to see, what with the new regime and all. Still not there. Oh, well. They'd see each other later, anyway.
He shook his head slightly, trying to clear his thoughts of Penny and focus on talking to the boy in front of him. Hormones, ya know? They're distracting.
"So... What's new?" Truthfully, Drew could say literally just about anything, and it would qualify as new information for Benji. How strange that they lived in the same immediate area, and still, he didn't really know anything about him other than that he had an owl. And that was a lame thing to know about someone, especially when practically
everybody had an owl. (Benji much preferred cats, but to each his own.)
He was a nice person, friendly, even, he swore it! He was just... a bit preoccupied and introverted. That combination didn't lend itself well to small talk. He really felt like he could use all the friends he could get right now, though, so he was trying here. Hopefully Drew didn't think he was a dork. Or a rude jerk. (He was sort of kicking himself over the whole staring-at-the-Hufflepuff-table thing.) Maaaaaybe they could be roommates and
also friends? Who knew?
