Old School Week Yuleball Dancing

[Fraser Fergusson]

Fraser arrived at the ball wearing a suit, not sure if he should dance or grab snacks.

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha had already lost Raafe, that had to be record time. She spotted a nearby first year and stopped. "Have you seen a boy that looks like me except he's a boy and wears glasses?" She asked him.

 

[Fraser Fergusson]

"No,"

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha sighed at the boy's response. "Alright." She said, looking around with a frown.

 

[Fraser Fergusson]

"Maybe he's over there?" Fraser offered pointing in the direction of a table not too far off. It was a bit darker there, so harder to see.

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha followed his gaze, frowning. "Maybe." She said, but instead of going over there to look she kept on scanning the crowd.

 

[Fraser Fergusson]

Fraser glanced about looking for the person she described. "Want to go over?"

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha shrugged. "I guess so, but maybe he'll spot me if I stay here." She said, unsure if the boy was offering to go with her.

 

[Fraser Fergusson]

"Cool," he replied, before holding his hand out. "I'm Fraser,"

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha shook his hand. "I'm Anisha." She said. "I'm a second year." She guessed the other boy was a first year, and it was smart to establish that she was older than him early on.

 

[Fraser Fergusson]

"1st year," Fraser replied. "Is the boy you're looking for also a second year?"

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha nodded. "His name is Raafe, he's my cousin." She said, in case the boy knew him.

 

[Fraser Fergusson]

Fraser nodded too. "Did you say to him that you'd meet him at the dance or are you just hoping to spend the time with him?" he asked.

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha blinked. She hadn't considered that Raafe might have other plans. She was sure he didn't. "Oh, we do pretty much everything together, it was implied." She told him.

 

[Fraser Fergusson]

Fraser nodded. "Then I'm sure he'll be here,".

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha nodded. "Are you waiting for anyone?"

 

[Fraser Fergusson]

"Kinda," he said, "My brother's supposed to be coming, but I haven't spotted him. But I'm also not looking for him...really,"

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha frowned. "Why not?" She asked him. She considered Raafe like her brother, and she was definitely looking for him. It wasn't any fun without him.

 

[Fraser Fergusson]

"He's my brother, and I love him, but he might wanna hang out with someone else, and I might get sidetracked and go ice skating," he explained. He wasn't looking for him, but would spend the time with him.

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha blinked at the boy's explanation. "Is he a lot older?" She asked, thinking of her own relationship with Indi.

 

[Fraser Fergusson]

"No, he's a second year," he said. "His name is Zerrin," Fraser added in case she would know him.

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha nodded. 'I think I know him." She said, remembering the guy vaguely from her classes. "You should hang out with him. You'll be sad when he graduates." She said wisely, thinking of Indi again.

 

[Fraser Fergusson]

Fraser nodded, not too surprised that she knew him. "Yeah, I will, but I have plenty of time to spend with him."

 

[Anisha Khatri]

Anisha nodded. "Yeah, I guess so. Graduation is still a while off." She said, feeling a bit silly for the comparison suddenly.

 

[Fraser Fergusson]

"Yeah! Plenty of time, and we hang out at home together," he said. "Since we're, you know, brothers,"
