There was so much to do today, but he had to sit through this event to meet the new schools. In truth, he stayed so busy in his little world of England that he sometimes forgot there were other schools out there of people who practiced magic. In fact, he kinda felt like an idiot when he came to that realization earlier this year. He knew about it, sure, but it hadn't really sunk in how different their cultures would be from him. This uneasy feeling of knowing what these witches and wizards were going to be like, combined with knowing that Dior's party was after this. Another sigh escaped his lips. He was feeling incredibly guilty about that situation.<br/><br/>He had agreed to help her with some final touch-ups before the party tomorrow. Derek felt like he was quite the ass to her a few days ago and agreed to do it to get on better terms with his sister. Still, there were bigger things that Derek wanted to do today... he wanted to ask Audrey to be his girlfriend tomorrow.<br/><br/>What would be more perfect? On the day that the schools unite and have a massive party without any chaperones or teachers keeping a watchful eye. What more, he could basically present Audrey and him as a couple to all these new people. It seemed like the perfect opportunity. Things were going well between them. She had even given him a spirit animal. However, he wanted to talk things over with some good friends. Curt had given him some advice when they made-up in the hallway, and now he was looking to his other close friend Kat for some additional advice. She was a playful thing and truthfully he had not even told her about what he was going through yet. Thinking on it, she'd probably tease him about being so superficial with his thoughts lately. So focused on resolving his family matters, relationships struggles, and making friends -- that every grade with the exception of Potions was suffering again.<br/><br/>Not only that, but he was really considering joining the tournament. He wanted to prove something of himself.<br/><br/>The Durmstrang came in and Derek felt the need to stiffen his back to match their body language. Then the Beauxbaton were next and Derek found his eyes lingering toward the men and the women. How the hell were they so utterly attractive? Derek gulped a few times and then shook his head. Wondering where Kat was so he could express these thoughts to her and share other words. He felt like he had barely seen her so far this year, and he missed his dear friend.<br/><br/>Reaching out he pushed his plate out of the way. Stomach not feeling the need for food. Which was probably going to work to his disadvantage, because one's nervous stomach should never be empty.
