Alex smiled at the teacher when she thanked her for helping Fiona, "It was my pleasure, Mrs. Grendall, I just wanted to make sure she wasn't missing out on the lesson." She felt kind of sheepish because she lied to Mrs. Grendall. It was a half truth really. She sighed in relief along with the rest of the class upon hearing there would be no homework assignment. That was one less thing she had to worry about.<br/><br/>Looking at Fiona's reply, she quickly jotted down an answer. 'I'd love to go to your house.' She started to pass it over to her new friend, but had a last minute message to add. 'What's Beowulf?' Alex didn't watch many movies, assuming that's what Fiona was talking about. She always had to fight over the remote at her house. She much preferred books anyway.<br/><br/>Passing the note back to Fiona, she watched first as she smiled, probably regarding the first part. She noticed how her eyes crinkled at the corners when she was grinning and wondered if Fiona realized that she was so utterly cute. Then Fiona gave her a look that was incredulous, probably because of the Beowulf question. People usually gave her that look when she didn't know what something was. So, she had pretty much stopped responding unless it was a direct question that was asked.
