Royce Richards
Royce was staring at the girl, beautiful? She was. Out of his league? Totally. But she seemed to be the type to think about things too much and put herself down. As she walked down the isle and tripped over some guy's backpack her face flushed red with the snickering and she hurried to her seat, like she was trying to keep from doing something, maybe she was an easy crier? Royce continuously glanced at her as he took his notes from the boring teacher. She would occasionally look at him too. It felt kinda awkward, like he should say something. But of course, he couldn't in class. He glanced up to make sure the teacher wasn't looking then scribbled down a quick note and tossed it onto her desk. Welcome to Messalonskee. Where are you from?
Bella Maire
Bella made it to her seat and then looked up as the teacher introduced a new student. From England? Cool, she'd always wanted to travel. She wondered what it must be like for him, being in a completely new country with all these different things to learn. Must be fascinating. But he looked... dissatisfied... no... distant, that was a good word, like he didn't want to get near anyone. She watched him on his way back to her seat and she looked at him for a moment longer before looking back at the board.
Throughout the class she would glance at the new kid, Riley, and wonder about him. He caught her looking at him at one point but she just gave him a soft smile and turned her head away quickly, again not wanting to draw attention to herself.
