Ethan shot her a strange look when she said "You know what I want" but laughed anyway. He took a seat on the chair she motioned to, propping it so that he faced the back of the chair. "Ah, I see, well I'm flattered you want to talk to me," he said smiling, "What about?"

"Nothing, really," Lyra shrugged. She hugged a pillow, covering part of her face from any possible signs of blushing. Maybe she was coming off to strong, answering him straight-forwardly. "I just want to get to know you," Lyra's voice muffled into the pillow. This would have been much easier on texts. She would add a smiley face to that. Doing that in reality would seem creepy. Or maybe text messages. "So um, the party tomorrow- still going yeah?"

Ethan didn't exactly know why she was acting so shy right now, but shrugged it off anyway. "Glad to know I'm a person worth while of your interests," he said giving her a goofy grin. Lyra had brought up the party and mulled it over, "The party...? I think so, if you still want me to be your escort of course." He gave a little wink to Lyra and grinned again.

"You? My escort?" Lyra giggled and shook her head, "no, no, I'm your escort," Lyra corrected him. I mean, did Ethan even know the person throwing the party? "We'll be each others' escorts, I think it will be fun," Lyra said. "Hopefully people wont get the wrong idea, of course..." Lyra swallowed. If people thought they were going together... would Ethan mind it? Lyra wouldn't. But would Tobias mind? Ack boys and dating. So confusing.

"That's very true, you're more my escort than anything," Ethan laughed as he smiled at Lyra, "Without you, I probably wouldn't know as many people as I do now, heck, I don't even know the person throwing the party!" He just reckoned that she got his info from the school list or something and used a mass text.
He looked at Lyra, something was off, like she was uncomfortable or something. Girls are really weird, must have something else on her mind, "What you thinkin about there?" He gave her a sleepy puppy-dog look as he swayed in the chair.

"Oh, just the party. I wonder how that will go," Lyra shrugged Ethan's question off. Lyra reached for her phone and went through the saved text messages to make sure of the location. "Oh, Penny's party is at the beach. Tari's at the resort. It's um, formalish?" Lyra was confused by the word "dress-y ish." Lyra's eyes lit up and she looked at Ethan, "what color button downs do you have?" Lyra asked him. Maybe they could... color-code match. Would Ethan be up for that? Lyra favored matching.

Ethan checked his phones old text messages to see what she was talking about. "What..." he said, looking up at her confused, "Isn't it the other way around?" He held his phone out to her as far as his arm could reach so that she could see. "And as for button-downs, I have a lot since I used to intern at a firm," he answered. Dress clothes would never be a problem for him.

Lyra moved forward, trying to not fall over. "Oh." Lyra felt dumb. "Oh," she repeated. Lyra sat back normal, her back against the wall. "Well, I feel silly," Lyra replied with a small laugh. "Never mind what I said then, I knew tomorrow was the beach party." Wow, how silly of her. She had to look stupid. "So um, Oceanside," yeah, safe topic. Go back to tour guide girl. "Who do you hang out with? Like any girls? Exited for class?" Wow, what weird questions. Nice throwing in about asking if he liked any girls.

Ethan chuckled lightly and pulled his arm back. He heard Lyra ask her various questions about Oceanside. "Uhm, well I don't really have any favorites to hang out with. Unless you count cause I know you're always up for whatever and you're the first person I met. Girls? I don't know yet, haha. And school is school, never really excited for it ever." He wondered why she asked him about Oceanside a lot. Meh, whatever floats her boat.

"Yeah I really am up for anything," Lyra brushed hair behind her ears and pulled her knees to her chest. This was uncomfortable. Lyra laid on her bed, facing Ethan. Her pillow was comfortable. It was so easy to ask, "want to lie down next to me?" and she did so, her eyes staring up at Ethan.

He was caught off-guard by such a question. "Uhm.. if you want me to," he got up and made his way over to the bed, making himself comfy on his side. "I guess we'll have some pillow-talk huh?" Ethan said smiling a bit sleepily as he settled onto the pillow more. This is real comfortable, he thought smiling as he looked back at Lyra.

Lyra held her breath for a second, trying to not blush but she couldn't help it. He was so close. She only needed to move... a couple more inches and... Lyra's head motioned to the ceiling. She looked back to Ethan. "What's your favorite food?" Lyra asked him. Yeah, easy question. It was a safe one.

Ethan laughed softly and just smiled, "Favorite food... huh, that's a hard question." She looked kind of flustered, "Something on your mind?" He pushed a stray hair that had fallen in front of her face and tucked it behind her ear. He shifted a bit more to get into a more comfy position.

"Just trying to think of conversation," Lyra replied. Her eyes followed Ethan's hand as he brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. Was it bad that she couldn't think of anything to talk about? She didn't want to think about a risky topic to bring up. "You're a pretty cool guy, Ethan." Yeah. Compliment him, that always works. "Just thinking if the party will be fun."

He smiled and just looked at Lyra, "Why thank you." Ethan yawned in exhaustion, it was pretty late after all. "Hey.. uhm, do you mind if I just spend the night here? School hasn't started up yet so the rules shouldn't be in effect yet." he said awkwardly, he wasn't exactly sure if this was the best idea. "I mean, if you want me to leave that's fine. Or I can sleep on the floor." Ethan added quickly to not sound too eager, "It's all up to you really. I mean. I can understand if you want me to leave." He started to get flustered quickly and just shut his mouth before something stupid came out.
