🌹 Rose Giving A Rose in Hand

[Delilah Thorne]

Delilah walked over to the Hufflepuff table with a yellow rose tucked neatly between her fingers. She had the urge to pick of some of the petals but she kept her hands firmly still as she tried to find the next person on her list. "Um, is a Casper Beckett around?" she called out broadly towards the eating students and hoped someone would help her. Delilah wished she were the kind of person who knew everyone's name but she was far from being that kind of person.

 

[Casper Kinnek]

Casper had been feeling down since the fight with Lucas. He varied between being upset with Addy, upset with Lucas, and upset with himself. He was sitting at breakfast, poking at his eggs, when he heard someone say his name. He looked up, surprised. "Right here," he held up a hand.

 

[Delilah Thorne]

Delilah sighed with relief as Casper appeared to be just off to her right. She smiled warmly at him and quickly walked over. "Happy Valentine's day." she said a little breathlessly. "I have a rose for you." she announced and produced a yellow rose and handed it over.

 

[Casper Kinnek]

Casper was completely caught off guard when the girl said she had a rose for him. "Wait, what? Are you sure that's for me?" He asked, sounding incredulous.

 

[Delilah Thorne]

Delilah hesitated as she held out the yellow rose for the boy and started to feel a familiar sense of panic start to wash over her. "Well that is what my list says..." she started to explain but trailed off. She pulled out the note and her list and it in fact said Casper Beckett. "Here's the note. You can see for yourself." she offered and handed it over. Hopefully whatever was written inside would clear up any confusion.

Casper was startled, but he took the rose gently. He gave her a shy smile, before peeking at the note. He blushed. He hadn't expected anything, and it was kind of nice that Linden sent him a rose. It also saddened him a little, but he pushed that aside. It was nice that anyone had thought of him at all. He looked back to the girl, giving her a shy smile. "Thank you."
