The Day Before [open]

[Aaron Ashter]

Aaron had to raise his eyebrows at that, for there was only one unspoken question that was drifting about his head now. So why do the boys despise you? Of course, to the casual observer his raised eyebrows could mean a manner of things, most of which would probably not be on the mark. Aaron didn't dare say anything out aloud, seeing as that would be terribly rude, but he didn't hesitate to think it. He was rather surprised that Serena showed no reaction to his question, but was able to hide it well underneath his contemplation of her next question. Itching to answer, yet wanting to include Elizabeth, selfishness won out. Besides, he couldn't see the Hufflepuff being comfortable with his earlier inquiry, and didn't blame her. But he did feel obliged to answer Serena, though his voice was laced with a bit of arrogance, which some girls might take as a challenge, especially with the words he chose to go along with it.

There aren't a lot of worthy girls out there that meet my specifications.

Guessing that one of his companions' next questions might be, and what exactly are your specifications?, Aaron replied to that early on, shrugging nonchalantly. He also resumed his bemused expression, hoping the other two wouldn't take offense at his words. That would be annoying.

I guess I just like girls who can match my wit - met one cool Slytherin gal who could - and whom I can actually talk to instead of just asking and answering questions like an interrogation. I don't consider myself to be picky with looks, but it seems that this week blondes and brunettes are holding favor. I dunno. Guess, I'm just a guy, huh?

Wow, I really can sound conceited at times. And talk a lot. Aaron had never actually found himself in this sort of position before, and though he was guessing that he wasn't exactly the guy they had been dreaming about, he did figure himself to be less snotty than say, some high-flying Gryffindor like James Potter or Sirius Black.

[Serena Carter]

Serena then said, "Sorry if you don't like the questions I'm just trying to get to know you."
