Chaos in the Salvatore School is not unheard of. If it’s not the wolves starting fights in the dining hall, it’s a monster on the grounds. Or Penelope causing a scene. Or– There’s really too much to touch on, just that her school life is absolutely ruled by chaos. So this scene of a vampire flitting around the library and towards her is– Normal. Well. It’s normal, until he makes himself a whirlwind of papers ( pissing off Alyssa Chang in the process. Not really a smart move there. ) And her eyes finally focus on who it is, only to see him be absolutely determined to cause more inadvertent destruction.
Her eyebrows raise and, purely out of surprise, takes a half-step back and nearly laughs out loud at the expression on his face. It’s like a trainwreck, she’s sure, to the people watching this happen. It’s so public, and her cheeks burn red. “I– uh.” Is all that comes out but she reaches for the flowers and takes them, even though she knows they should be going back up in the vase in the hall. A quick glance around confirms her suspicions that yes, everyone is watching this like a slow moving car crash. Oh, god.
She lets out a nervous laugh, more of a huff than anything, and pulls the flowers to her chest. “You.. should probably phrase that as a question. Not a command.” Her lower lip is pulled between her teeth in an effort to not let out another nervous laugh, “Sorry, I– what’s your name again?”
“ Sorry, you’re right ”. He takes things slow now, putting the vase back where it belonged and pushing it away from the edge, wiping the water from the vase that had spilled over his hands on his demin jeans, and he finally takes his time to look around them. Everyone’s watching (and of course they are), so he turns to their reluctant audience. “ What? You’ve never seen a guy trip over his own feet for a pretty girl? Show’s over. I mean it. Mind your business, this isn’t prime time on Univision ”.
It works, they scatter, even when some of them -- Alyssa Chang -- stay behind to glare daggers at the back of his head. He’s sure he’ll pay for that later. And then, his attention returns to Josie, who he has not only embarrassed but given flowers that didn’t belong to him in the first place. “ Leo... I’m a junior. I mean, I should be a senior but -- well, that’s a long story. Doesn’t matter. I uh, actually wanted to talk to you because Doctor Saltzman told me that you could help me with something, Origin of the Species? The rest just kind of came out... Prematurely.”
