[LOG] THIS MAY NOT GO WELL..
Who: Diedrich and Pajea
What: two nerds have to do a group presentation for english
When: sometime during the school week
Where: the library!
It was the most dreaded thing imaginable to a student.Group project. And having your partner picked by lottery? Even worse. Diedrich had never talked to this girl before, though he's sure he's seen her around before, and despite normally having no problem talking to complete strangers, he really had no idea where to start with her. She looked like she didn't want to be there at all, which she probably didn't. He understood. Group projects suck. Still, they have to start sometime. And the quicker they get through this, the better.
"Sooo....." Diedrich looked up at his partner, mechanical pencil bouncing in his hand. "Is there any story you want to do for the project?" He moved around a slightly wrinkled sheet of paper detailing the presentation, with a few of the topics having marks next to them.

he's completely forgotten about what happened literally five minutes ago
Then he stopped and narrowed his eyes. "... it's not a fancy dress dance, right?" He was pretty sure it wasn't, I mean, Sadie Hawkin's right??? But if it was, he had no idea if he had anything that would even look right for it.
[internal screaming]
She totally just asked this shrimp to the dance and he accepted.
She wasn't sure whether she should feel proud or mortified.
"It's....it's....Sem....semi formal..." She stuttered, staring at Diedrich in disbelief.
She paused, pondering what one would even do at a dance. She had never been to one, to nobody's surprise, and frankly knew nothing about them. Maybe there was a book on it she could try and find? Maybe she could ask her roommate? Pajea kept drawing blanks on where to begin with this. What a mess this was becoming.
She turned attention back to Diedrich and tried to smile back, though it looked forced and somewhat painful. "Thank you." She said, attempting to inject gratuity into her tone.
