Dex was trying very hard not to have his voice crack when he spoke back. She was really pretty and he was having trouble remembering how to think properly. "Do you sit in the back?" That would explain why he hadn't noticed her before now. Dex had been spending most of his classes trying hard just to follow along with everything the teacher was saying. On the plus side, trying to keep up meant there had been absolutely no opportunity for him to be bored in class, which he knew was the worst sort of state for him to get into.

"Yeah. It's my first week here," Dex confirmed. Frankly, he was just about ready to throw in the towel and go back to just being tutored at the institute instead of trying anymore of this "social interaction." It just wasn't worth the hassle he was going through on a daily basis.
