After the sadistic teacher returned to his speach on God only knew what, Echo turned in her seat and gave Beast Boy one of her rare bright smiles "Hi, is he always so boring?" she inquired, wrinkling her nose as the droning monotony that stood at the front of the class.
BB chuckled at this. Beautiful and funny! A deadly combination! "Pretty much. I'm Beast Boy, by the way" he smiled. This was weird; when he'd had that crush on Raven he hadn't been able to stutter a single word to her, yet with Echo he could speak freely. Weird...
"I'm Echo...well, duh I just told everyone that" she giggled lightly at herself "Nice to meet you, anyways. What do you have next class?" she inquired curiously. Hmm, cute, she thought with a pleasant little smile.
"Drama" he shrugged "Boring boring boring" A soft yawn escaped his lips. He had not slept well the previous night, his dreams had been dark lately and he was starting to feel their effects.
"I love acting" Echo grinned, eyes lighting up with delight. She was such an actress and had been in quite a few plays before. She adored A Midsummer Night's Dream though, she had gotten away with her flying in that. Well, any fairy queen could fly, couldn't they?
"Really?" Beast Boy said in shock "Why?"
"Because even for a moment I get to be somebody else apart from me" she shrugged "Generally I like maths too"
"Eww" BB winced "Once more; WHY?!"
The tall English female laughed, feeling easy talking with the funny green male "Because no matter where in the world I am, maths is always the same"
"That's quite deep" came a comment from Echo's right. She turned to see Raven sat there, a dark look on her face as usual. The reason for this; a pretty English girl was chatting up her BB! That was completely unacceptable. She hoped Echo would meet another guy soon so the half-demon could get back to loving him from afar. It wasn't like she would ever tell him though. That would be aweful if he didn't like her too!
Lately, Raven's emotions had been in overdrive. Hormones, as usual, were to blame.
Echo smiled to Raven "I guess. Echo" she introduced
"Raven" the hooded girl nodded by way of reply.
"What, nobody gonna introduce me?" Cyborg said in mock dispair.
"You don't need to know him" BB grinned, earning himself a punch on the arm from the tall guy next to him. Echo switched her gaze to Cyborg and smiled "Hey" she nodded. So many boys, so little time...
"You do need to know me" Cy sighed "I'm Cyborg. The girl with red hair over there is Starfire and the guy in the mask is Robin. We're kind of a group" he shrugged, trying to explain their delicate friendship
"And you're more than welcome to hang with us" Robin added with a charming little smile. Very cute, Echo thought, eyes alight. Perhaps moving from Manchester wouldn't be so bad after all! Perhaps....
"I am glad to be meeting you, friend Echo" Starfire smiled cheerily as the bell rang to signal their next lesson. Echo got to her feet
"You guys in drama with me and Beast boy?" she inquired and sighed as the others shook their heads. But, she decided, a lesson alone with him could be funny.
And so the group of friends seperated to their next class, Echo fixed in their minds....
