Athena listened as the guy in front of her started...[i]insulting[/i] the girl in front of him. Was insulting the right word? She was unsure. All the poor girl did was lean back, she might've been unaware of his desk being there. 

Rolling her eyes slightly, she sent a small spout of air his way, aiming for the back of his head. It wouldn't be enough to hurt, she couldn't even do that yet. Not that she wanted to... much. It would just be enough to cause an annoyance, most likely, and get his attention. Now, as much as Athena didn't like confrontation and social situations, being such a bookworm she was slightly [i]irked[/i] at his attitude towards studying books, and people who study from them. Making sure to mind her vine and flowers, she leant over her desk, her mouth opening before really thinking it through.

"[color=f49ac2]What's so bad about studying to be good at something?[/color]" She asked, pausing for a moment. "[color=f49ac2]The amount of friends a person has doesn't determine their worth, unless I guess you're shallow-minded like that.[/color]" She said, her voice staying quiet. "[color=f49ac2]If you know what's good for you, you'll listen to your friend there and cool it.[/color]"

Were they friends? Perhaps. She didn't know. If she said 'seatmate' it wouldn't have sounded so good, but if they're not friends... [i]'Eh, if they're not friends it doesn't really matter. Worst case scenario it just makes me sound sarcastic.'[/i] Athena was proud of herself for confronting them, and she was beaming happily on the inside.
