Rise was completely shocked still, and suddenly he stood up, told her to smile, and was gone. Like he hadn't been there at all, he just disappeared around the bookshelves again, and immediately she felt herself relax, her whole body untensed, and her head came forward to meet with her book on the table, staring at the words to close up to read properly. He liked her.. it was like the whole world was spinning, and all she could do is sit there and think of his smile, the way his hair fell, the color of his eyes. He was a beautiful person.. a year older, wonderful personality, and he liked her. He didn't mind she was a werewolf, he wanted her to smile more, and she was determined to let him see her smiling in the hallway. She only had to think of him and her heart started to race, her mind went into overdrive, and her heart started to ache to see him again.
What kind of person was he? She thought as she started to put her books in her bag, packing up to head back to her common room so that she could calm down a bit, and not be so publicly blushing. Her face was still red, and she quickly wrapped her scarf around her neck, hiding her scar from view again, the scar that had made her a wonderful friend. The scar that for once, wasn't her enemy. She was so happy she felt like she could burst with joy, she only wanted to make him feel the same way she did when he smiled at her. Or when he complimented her. It made her heart ache with how happy she was, and she wanted to show him that.. but how? How in the world could she do that to him? She'd have to wing it and wait for him to meet up again and have time to talk, until then.. she was counting the days.
