Unless everyone knew she was HORRIBLE at the subject.
At least she knew how to count!
Wiping the intimidating smile off her face, she still glanced around the room for someone to come and save her from being partner-less. Sure, she could have picked someone, but what fun is that? No, it was more fun to watch people fight to be your partner..which was not happening at the moment.
Just about to claim defeat and do this task on her own, someone had approached her! Yes! This saved her from doing all the work on her own. And the boy did just so happen to be someone she did not know. "Sure, we can be partners!" she said, putting that smile back onto her face. Gesturing to the seat next to her, she pulled out her parchment, which she did not do earlier, and a quill. "I really don't know you, do I?"
Well duh. She didn't even know his name!
Gotcha! The girl agreed! Now Ced had someone to torture. Hehe. But the girl looked really feisty or well, intimidating. He had to make sure if she bites people for he didn't really want to have a big lesion on his hand or two pointed reddish dots on his neck. And yep, he was just being extra-precautionary.
"You sure umm, d-don't bi--" He trailed off, he just thought that it was going to be super silly if he ask the girl if she bites or not. And that was why he despised partnering with other people 'cause he couldn't be so certain if that person would be good or mean.
And he had to keep his 'cool'. Yeah. And he could do that by showing off how he good he was at Arithmancy, yep.
He wore his half-crooked smile again upon taking a seat beside the girl.
"Great! We're now partners then."
But wait, how come the girl didn't know him? Hmm. Well, he wasn't popular so yeah, he shouldn't be expecting that most of the people around would know him.
"Oooh, you don't know me? I'm Ced. Cedric Nicholas Leone so... prepared to work?" He asked her coolly as he gently yet dramatically brushed his tangling hair away from his brows and eyes. And now, they should start working.
