Philip glanced around the brightly lit hall, surveying the rows of extravagantly dressed students, some of the girls in particular. By comparison, he wasn’t really a guy for an occasion or spectacle, dressed in a relatively plain black tux set and bowtie. Food and conversation were aplenty as he sat at the table with many of the Ilvermornies, his attention however occupied by a group of girls in one of the far corners of the grand hall. Well, one amongst the group in particular if he was being totally honest. One of his friends, catching where his gaze was, elbowed his shoulder “Koda? She’s in my potions class. From Castelobruxo. You’re in over your head if you think…” Philip paused him with a simple “watch”, leaving the table behind to approach Koda. “Hi” he offered, with a genuine smile, holding his hand out “I’m Philip. I don’t see a date on you despite that gorgeous dress and smile so I thought I’d fancy my odds. My friend back there thinks it won’t happen” pointing Koda to the back table he had come from.
Being the awful person she was, she had been doing nothing so far but try to ignore a certain couple and eat her weight in chocolate, even when just attending was seemingly an invitation for people to bother her, both boys and girls who wanted to gossip or who didn’t know she was just not interested in ending up in a carriage with them any time soon. The people pitying her for not having a date were clearly trying something. When this kid, whoever it was, stood in front of her, told her shit she’d heard before and pointed back at his friend, Koda stared at his hand, then up at him, deciding to fist bump him instead of shaking his hand. “In your friend’s defense. He did warn you. I’m not interested.” Because no. She couldn’t have fun. She couldn’t spend her time with Celia, or this kid, or anyone for that matter. She just went to the ball to torture herself and hopefully make it hard to get out of bed for a week due to her own stupidity. but oh well.
