As he entered the courtyard, Ewan’s eyes couldn’t help but be instantly drawn towards… someone else and not just anyone else. A girl! WHAT!
Jogging past, he couldn’t help but stare, half embarrassed, half curious as to who had caught him in this state. That was until his eyes took in the expression on her face. Hurt? Sad? Annoyed? He really wasn’t good at judging people’s facial expressions. As much as he wanted to know what was wrong with this mystery girl, there was no way he was stopping to find out…
*THUMP!*
*Somehow manages to fall over one of the other benches and lands in a heap*
“Aha! Jheeze. Stupid bench. Stupid school. Who puts a bench here!”
Torii hadn't been expecting any company. Actually, she didn't know what she expected, but it hadn't been the events that were about to unfold. She heard the boy coming before she saw him. She turned toward him. Why? Well, mainly because she still had zero trust in this school, knew nobody, and had her guards up. As soon as she met his gaze, her eyebrows furrowed inward.
"What on earth happened to you?" she asked. Was he hurt? Running from something? Recovering from a near drowning experience?
When he and the bench ended up colliding with one another, Torii instinctively jumped out the way and stepped a foot or so to the side. Who had put the bench there? Erm? She didn't know, but it wasn't invisible or anything, so it wasn't really that hard to miss.
"Are you okay?" she asked, going to his side and looking down at him. She reached toward his hand and made an effort to pull him up.
