Mina froze when The Boy With the Book reached out to touch her neck. She felt relief, but also disappointment, when he took his hand away. Is this what everyone calls flirting? No, no, that can't be. He was being nice that's all. Or maybe it was because he liked perfect things. She examined his sleeves that was in her peripheral vision. Yup, not a wrinkle to be seen.

When he asked for her name, she was quite surprised. She was sure that everyone knew her name. After all, people had been talking about her when they thought she wasn't listening. Actually, she found it pretty fascinating. The stories they came up with were very creative.

Mina glanced at the outstretched hand, then his smile, and turned back to the page she had been doodling on. That smile. That smile. She tried to keep her face calm. Alden. Alden Sebastien. Where have I heard that before? It only took a second for her to realize that it was the "perfect guy" that everyone talked about. How did I not recognize him? Eh, probably because I never pay attention to anyone.

"Mina. Mina Cain," she replied, then added a swirl to the petal she just finished doodling. She held it up, and turned it sideways. Mina sighed. This looks so bad. She ripped the page out and put it to the side.

She was pretty sure that everyone was staring, but she didn't want to look around to check. Plus, they always stare. But for some reason, this one bothered her. Is it because I'm with Alden? Alden... I feel like The Boy With the Book sounds better.

@Inertia Hmm, I'm about to write a reply, but didn't Alden already know Mina's name? If I'm not mistaken, he knew it when he saw her at the front of the school. Should I assume that he was just trying to get to know her?

@Inertia Ahh, I wanted to add more detail into that shortpost, but I just wasn't sure how. Sorry, I have a major writer's block right now.

Mina looked up, startled, as The Boy With the Book talked to her. She never knew he was in her class, and it was already March!

"Thanks," she said, in reply to his compliment of her pens and pencils. She was surprised when he asked her if they could do the partnership project together.Ms. Longing Stare... She felt her heart starting to beat faster, but she squeezed her hands. Keep yourself together. Mina went through her head, trying to figure out if he was smart or not. She usually didn't care about other people, so she didn't even know this boy's name, let alone his intelligence. This was when she realized her face was close to the boy's face. So close. Extremely close. She quickly turned her head to face the front. She would have blushed, but it was long after she abandoned such emotions.

"Sure," Mina said, coolly.

Right then, the teacher announced that the project was going to be on the Renaissance, and that this project will end right before the year-end exams. Oh, god... Does this mean I have to spend the rest of the year with this boy? I guess it won't be that bad...

"We'll start the project now, so everyone please sit next to their partners," the teacher continued.

@Inertia Alright! My post is up now, if you want to try reacting to Mina's reaction, haha. It's probably not going to give you a lot of time to react, though.

Mina put her computer away when she decided that she had studied enough. Too much studying's bad for the brain. She looked around. There were a few more people now. Mina shook her head. Why do these people want to risk being late for class?

She was about to get up and stretch her back when she heard a cough. She turned her head towards the sound. The only person that was there was a boy. A perfect boy, if you must. She couldn't spot a single wrinkle in his clothes, and his hair was carefully combed. Her eyes seemed to have a mind of its own, for they kept scanning his body, and the way he was holding the book. For some reason, Mina liked it. Oh, she adored it.

After standing stupidly for a minute or two, Mina shook her head quickly. What was she doing? He's ignoring me on purpose. He probably doesn't want anything to do with me. She sighed internally and picked up her bag. She walked into the school and straight towards her first class, History 11. She had skipped a grade in this subject, as she had with all of the others. Mina liked to think that people were amazed at the fact that she was taking AP Calculus in grade 9.

8:12 AM

She took a seat at the very front left-hand corner, so she wouldn't have to talk to anybody. Her mark had gone down by two percent, and she desperately wanted to get it back to a 100 again. Mina pulled out her History notebook, and her carefully arranged pencils and pens. Maybe the reason why she was so studious was because of the pretty pens she had. They aren't very expensive, but Mina still loves them.

The whole History class, all she could think about was that boy with the book. She tried digging her fingernails into her palms, slapping herself lightly, and everything that she could think of. The only thing that made her stop thinking about him, was when the teacher announced that there will be a partnership project. Oh how much she hated partners!

Human+ OOC

@pockets Haha, maybe you could. It's all up to @Inertia, but things could always turn bad, since Alden likes perfect things.

Human+ OOC

@Inertia Do you mind if we start getting Alden and Mina into a relationship? I have a pretty good idea of what to do for her reaction to Alden...

Human+ OOC

@Pockets Uh one more question, is there a uniform or is it free style clothing?

@Inertia

Oh yeah. I should have asked that before.

Human+ OOC

Okay, my first post is up! Just to let everyone know, Mina is very caring on the inside, but she acts very cold to others. So please don't get confused by the post, the coldness will start showing up when somebody talks to her.
