Alex smiled at the compliment from dear old Mrs. Grendall and nodded. Upon reading Fiona's response, Alex realized that she had been wrong in her assumption that Beowulf was a movie and was v glad they were writing notes rather than having an actual conversation. She would have been really embarrassed if she had said that comment aloud. Alex thought that Fiona was pretty when she blushed. It brought a nice rosy color to her cheeks. She smiled at Fiona, jotting down her reply.<br/><br/>'Oh. I've never read it before. It's good that you read a lot, I do too.' She chewed on her pen thoughtfully, before penning another thought, 'I'll text home after class to let my family know I'm going to your house after school today. Where do you live? They'll want to know, just in case. Also... How are we getting there?' Alex folded the note carefully, making it as small as possible. Checking to see if the teacher was looking, she handed the note to  Fiona, accidentally brushing her fingers against Fiona's.
