Maybe there were three or four, and she happened to be standing at the wrong one? But...wouldn't Chris have specified a certain statue if that were the case?
Just when LouAnn had convinced herself that she just might be in the wrong place, she glanced down the corridor and saw Chris quickly approaching. "Oh, yeah, hey, Chris!" she calmly greeted. "Of course I could make it. I didn't mind meeting up with you here. What's up?" Not very nervous at all (for there was no reason to be), LouAnn looked casually at Chris as she waited for a reply. She nodded slowly as he talked...good friend, hanging out...maybe... BAM! LouAnn blinked and jumped back a little when Chris went face first into the wall.
"Oh my gosh, Chris! Are you okay?" she asked, examining him closely to see if there was any blood. If there was, she hated to break it to him, but she had no idea what spell would help that. Luckily for them both, Chris was alright, so there was no need to worry about any spells at all. Except, now there was a new reason to worry. The way Chris was talking, he wanted to ask her out, and LouAnn was always a little nervous when boys asked her to go places with them. She'd had plenty of boyfriends and gone on plenty of dates, but it never stopped her from getting a little nervous anyway. A few seconds later, Chris did ask her to go to Hogsmeade with him. That wouldn't be so scary, though. Hogsmeade was fun and exciting, and she thought she and Chris would really enjoy it there. Besides, Chris was a really nice guy. Smiling, she said, "Oh, yeah. Cool, I'd love to! Thanks, Chris!"
Chris hoped and hoped that she would say yes. All he wanted was one date to prove to her that he was a good guy. He hoped that his lateness wouldn't matter. He hoped that his clumzy fall wouldn't matter. Hey he knew it wouldn't LouAnn was a cool and understanding friend. He looked at her and then wondered if he had even asked her yet. Had he just blanked out? Had the words even came out of his mouth?
Then she answered with a smile as bright as the sun.
"Really? Great!" he grinned and ran a hand through his hair, stopping for a second on the bump that was sure to arrive soon. He would have to get that checked out.
"So where would you like to go?" he asked as he stood next to her.
'Good be a gentleman Chris see where she wants to go.' He smiled as he looked into her dark brown eyes.
