[b]Ethan[/b] They walked silently into the school building. Every now and then he'd feel her bump into his shoulder and he'd blush. What was it about this girl that made him feel this way? He shook his head again. He had more important things to focus on, like figuring out his black outs and how to stop them. He'd finally calmed himself down when she tugged on his shirt and pointed towards a hallway. His face grew red hot once again as she pulled him down the hallway by his wrist. She stopped by the first door they came across and pressed her nose to the glass, trying to peak inside. A smile grew on his lips, looking at her. He felt the intense desire to protect her. Something he'd never felt for anyone else. Then again, he'd never really gotten close to anyone. Then again, she wasn't exactly like the people he'd seen before. He eyed the room carefully. The lights were out, and there wasn't anything identifying the room. [b]"I think it may just be a normal class room, Calista. That, or a supply room."[/b] He said, a small chuckle escaping his lips. the first room she'd come across was a supply room. Then again, he could be wrong. He walked up behind her and pulled on the door handle. The door opened slowly. He turned to look at her and say something but suddenly her face was way too close to his. He jumped back, nervous. [b]"Uhm... Y-You can go first."[/b] He stammered, feeling much a like a little school boy. [b]Fredricka[/b] She turned to face Sasha, who had finally spoken. [b]"Beautiful?"[/b] She asked, looking over at the bird. She never considered it... beautiful. They were her friends. Then again, maybe talking to animals wasn't exactly normal for them. Back when she was human, it would have weird-ed her out more than likely. Yet, this girl thought it was beautiful. She smiled softly at Sasha. [b]"Well, thank you either way. It... it actually kind of freaked me out the first time I did it. But now, I do it so often that it's lost it's... I don't want to say value... It just doesn't surprise me anymore. Talking to them is much like talking to you now."[/b] She explained, looking at Sasha still. When Sasha replied to her question, her smile grew larger. [b]"I'm always willing. The forests are my home. Where are you from, if I can ask? I'm from the forests of Ireland."[/b] She asked, walking a bit deeper into the forest. Several animals, mainly squirrels began following the group, one of them followed behind Sasha very closely. Fredricka grinned. That little rascal. Always the first even if they weren't his species.
