She didn't bother to look away as though she hadn't been doing anything and returned his smile, leaning forward some as he lifted his palm for her to get a decent look. It took a second but she was able to make out the dancing, prancing paper-clip horse and her smile turned into an amused grin. It was certainly a neat trick, though not one she could duplicate due to its nature.<br/><br/>A few seats over, Tommy had apparently noticed her early seat hopping and decided to speak,<em>"Hey, Karter.”</em><br/><br/>She turned, her attention from the paper-clip horse for a brief second to glance at Tommy.<strong>“Hiya, handsome!”</strong>Her grin remained in place as she greeted him, though her eyes were soon sliding back toward Nathaniel's display. She wasn't trying to ignore him or be rude, and indeed she heard him ask how she'd been, but before she could even think to reply the doors to the auditorium burst open with unnecessarily force, the accompanying sound making her jump some and rub at her ears. Somehow she didn't even have to wonder what the cause of the disturbance was. A quick look back confirmed it, and she returned Carter's nod with a cheeky grin. In her opinion, he was quite fun, and it was always good to have someone about who drew more adult attention than she did.<br/><br/><em>"Um, sorry.  I was saying --"</em>Karter turned back to Tommy, still clearly amused as she took in his sheepish smile.<em>"Sorry.  I was about to ask 'How's tricks?' but I'm guessing you're not in the mood for shitty unintentional puns."</em><br/><br/>Snorting in a rather unladylike manner—no one would generally accuse Karter of being one of those in the first place—she shook her head, sending her cropped locks sliding into her face again.<strong>“Nice try tho. I'm doin' just fine and dandy. Pretty much not looking forward to anything school related and more than ready to plot an escape. You know, the usual.”</strong>Her tone might have given the impression she was joking but she was actually serious. While she didn't hate Nebula High in and of itself, she hated that she'd been ordered here and was poked at regularly like some lab rat all because her mother had signed up for some mad scientist guinea pig job.<br/><br/>Slipping free of the negative thoughts before they could take hold and ruin her mood, Karter pushed her hair from her eyes and grinned.<strong>“But how about you? How was your summer? Anything exciting happen? I don't have any clever puns to offer you, sorry.”</strong>Her tongue poked out some as she teased him.
