Saturday morning sees Bella with her notebooks about magic all in her knapsack, her medallion safety-pinned by its chain to her bra just in case she trips the wrong way, waiting with Charlie for pickup for the Avalon trip.

Comments

Bella giggles.

"You're cute when you blush."

[castmyown]

"Thanks," he laughs.

[shesepankh]

"You're welcome! Oh, by the way, are we just going on dates or are we dating? Like, can I tell annoying Mikeish people that I have a boyfriend if that is the best way to shoo them?"

[castmyown]

"I would like to be dating," says Darren affectionately.

[shesepankh]

"Then so be it."

[castmyown]

Darren giggles. He is so pleased!

[shesepankh]

And then English ensues!

[castmyown]

Ensue it does!

Then it ends, and Darren takes Bella's hand and gives it a squeeze before heading off to his next class.

[shesepankh]

Yaaay handsqueeze!

And later, science!

"So Jessica asked me about - the exact words she used escape me, but she asked me about us, and I told her, so presumably everyone will have heard by lunch."

[castmyown]

Darren snickers. "Good to hear, hopefully there will be no repeats of Mike."

[shesepankh]

"You will be my shield against repeats of Mike just by existing and taking me to dinner sometimes, isn't that lovely and efficient?"

[castmyown]

"Very! I will continue to exist and take you to dinner sometimes."

[shesepankh]

"Good. I like it when you do those things."

[castmyown]

"Then I'll just have to keep them both up, won't I?"

[shesepankh]

"Yes. You shall."

Science ensues!

[castmyown]

Science does ensue!

Then, after that - lunch!

[shesepankh]

There's Angela over there; they can sit with her and presumably Savannah will show up of her own accord.

"Hi," Angela says.

"Hello to you too."

"And, um, congratulations?"

"That seems like kind of a heavy word to break out this early, but thank you."

[castmyown]

Darren giggles a little and looks embarrassed. "Hey. Thank you, Angela."

[morethanimaginary]

Then Savannah shows up! "Hiiiii, lovebirds! Hi, Angela!"

[shesepankh]

"Lovebirds? Really?"

[morethanimaginary]

"Yes," says Savannah. She grins and lowers her voice. "You two both have wings when you can get away with it. So, lovebirds."

[shesepankh]

"Well, I suppose she has us there."

Angela giggles.

[castmyown]

"Darn it. At least it's a better nickname than 'Prancer.'"

[morethanimaginary]

"Don't get me started on that one I will do it!"

[castmyown]

"Lovebirds is fine!"
