As he glanced over at her, Bhu couldn't stop her grin from spreading wider across her face. Alex was one of the few people she knew who could drag that type of emotion from her. She most definitely could not afford the distraction of a boy, however. School was for learning and developing her element. Didn't need someone to cloud her reasoning, her judgement, or even stir around her emotions...no matter how much she wanted them to. 

Her thoughts were quickly interrupted as he responded to her statement. And there it was: that nervous chuckle. It held such honesty, such emotion. Nope, Bhu didn't need it. Didn't need it at all. Another person coming upon them stole his attention away from her. For the first time in thirty seconds, she was able to exhale. Shaking her head, she looked over at the newcomer and rose her brow at the teacher. The woman was definitely a strange one, especially for being a teacher. She couldn't remember the last time she actually heard her speak. And why did Alex have to reward her with that grin of his?

Bringing a hand up to her face, she scrunched her nose as her eyes slid closed. This was exactly the type of distraction she did not need. She needed to go back to perfecting her element. As much as she could, anyhow. The only real Earth elemental she could look up to at this school had been injured three months ago, and was too busy healing to really teach her anything. So, it was up to her. She could do it on her own. The library was full of books- surely one of them had some research on her element. 

Bhu lowered her hand and slowly opened her eyes. With a small nod to Chaske and Ms. Winterfield, she turned back to Alex and gave him a small grin. [color=tan]"Well, should really work on that coordination, then. Could land yourself in the infirmary one of these days. Unless your awkwardness is all a ruse and you're wanting someone to play nurse."[/color] Her eyes widened slightly at realizing what she had just said. Clearing her throat, she gave a small shrug before bringing a hand up. [color=tan]"Anyway. Back to studies for me. See you all later."[/color]

Turning, she quickly hurried towards the main building. [i]Idiot, idiot, idiot![/i] She rolled her eyes and sped up her feet. With a glance, she noticed a small crowd forming. Curiosity getting the best of her, she made her way over to the group. Bhu couldn't help a laugh at the blush on Zeke's face. She rolled her eyes and looked over at her friend. [color=tan]"Leave the boy alone, Wen. If he blushes any more, he's going to rupture a blood vessel. Then the librarian or the nurse will have to get involved...I know you love all the attention, but it's not needed today."[/color] She scrunched her nose as she looked around the group before looking back at Eirwen. [color=tan]"Do none of us have classes right now?"[/color]
