He must have been more hungry than she thought. Charlize had finished her pastry and most of her tea when Zane asked her why she was so distraught about the teacher. [i]"Oh."[/i] she spoke nervously, looking around at the faculty by her. She hushed her voice and pressed close to him, her lips inches from his ear, [i]"I'll save that story for our next class."[/i] she said, leaning back away from him as quickly as she had came. [i]"Right? Ahaha! This tea is delicious!"[/i] she changed the subject rapidly as not to be suspicious to the prying ear or eye. She cared not if the boy chose to to play along, but she hoped he wasn't the aggressive type. Her nimble fingers played with the crumbs on the table spread while her thoughts flew elsewhere.

Obviously made by someone who knew what they were doing versus the hack job the little robot girl did.
