Success. Aliya giggled and nodded slightly. “There we go!” She chirped and Zere huh? “Pretty name.” She said and then blushed furiously. She beamed though after a moment and bobbed her head again in a nod. “Nice to meet you too. I usually sit all alone, but it was nice to have someone to talk with.” Her blue eyes danced like the ocean and watched Zere smile even after she jumped and squeaked. Aliya laughed, pure and sweet. When she came back she noticed that Zere had stopped smiling and blinked. Her eyes were closed. Why?<br/><br/>Aliyah watched her and then blushed again when her eyes reopened and she looked away again. When she had tilted her head and exposed her clipped ears Zere had noticed them, awesome. She went beet red and sighed. “Yeah, I uh...anyways.” She looked away and kept walking, but not so fast that the other teenager could not keep up with her. Turning again she saw her following and slowed up a little and fell in stride with Zere. “Oh! Yeah, I have Chorus.” She flushed and looked down. “Teacher caught me singing in the hall and recruited me. Mom and Dad were all too happy to sign the paper.” She laughed a little and continued walking with Zere.<br/><br/>She stole a sideways glance at the other girl and sighed a little. She should say something more, try and make friends at least. “So, uh, do you want to hang out after school or something? You're welcome to sit at my table again tomorrow if you want.” It came out as a tumble of fast words and bright pink cheeks. She bit the inside of her cheek as not to ramble and watched up the hallway. Zere was mysterious and it piqued her curiosity and all she wanted was to get to know the other girl.<br/><br/>When they finally got to Zere's Biology class Aliyah waved good bye and skipped down the hallway, black hair falling down her back in glossy waves. Her lithe runner's frame brought her to her next class easily and she took her usual seat in the back of the room and knew the teacher would ask her to move to where he usually put her, closer to the other students. Although a sub walked in and Aliyah blinked, sighing in a disappointed fashion. She liked the teacher for what it was worth. Mr. Michaels was nice and he taught them the most amazing songs and they were rehearsing for the winter concert!<br/><br/>The hour dragged and Ali sang and rehearsed, but she was not fully there, finally the bell rang and she nabbed her books and sprinted out the door, holding them to her chest and skipping back to Zere's class and waiting for the other girl, hoping she would be happy to see her, or maybe she was being too clingy. The idea scared her so she started walking away from the classroom and to her final class of the day, head down and humming to herself beautifully.
