Fiona's quips had Alex giggling so hard, that she nearly fell out of her chair. Tears were filling her eyes to the brim, threatening to spill over. As covered her mouth, shaking silently with laughter. She was fighting hard to contain herself, because she didn't want to get into trouble with Mr. Collins. Thankfully, he seemed to be chuckling himself as well and didn't feel it necessary to reprimand the students who couldn't seem to help themselves.<br/><br/>Roy, the boy Fiona had just stood up to, turned beet red and sunk down further into his seat. He muttered under his breath that he didn't see what was so funny while glaring angrily ahead at the dry erase board. Alex admired that someone could speak so freely and cleverly like that. She was too afraid to really stand up for herself much and she always seemed to think of intelligent responses way after the fact. Alex saw Fiona's small, quirky smile flash her direction and couldn't help but to smile right back at her.
