Smile

He was strange to look at, that much was obvious, not unattractive however. The words almost seemed to surprise even herself, not really expecting anything to come out. He smiled and she felt herself relax some, allowing for a sheepish smile of her own. It took a moment for the words he spoke to register, and even after she was silent for a moment. If he hadn?t brought it up she would not have even realized she had landed in the mud. ?Canta.? She said offering her name, watching with curiosity as he drew closer, suddenly averting her gaze. ?Um? yes please.?

She graciously allowed him to help her up, trying her best to ignore the sudden heat she felt rising to her face. Canta was finding it hard to maintain eye contact with the boy, though that was not really abnormal for the girl this was different. ?So you live around here?? She tried to fill the silence, with small talk, great she had just attempted to fix the situation with one of the things she struggled most with.
