Todd listened to Penny while she talked about being busy. He was curious about the other stuff, but before he could ask, she was asking about his book. Glancing at the page, he marked his spot by folding the corner of the page. "Oh, this is for fun, I guess," he replied, placing the book down at...

Todd's expression shifted the moment he realised he'd messed up badly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to— can I do anything to help?" He faltered when she said she shouldn't have come, the words piercing his chest. "Yo-your leaving?" This was the pattern whenever people hung out with Todd—they left...

Todd didn't think Aine was doing too badly on the dancefloor. He wasn't going to enter them into any upcoming dance competitions, but it was good enough for tonight. He listened to her random fact and thought about it, it was weird. "You mean like a loophole? I wonder how you make an electrified...

It was slow dancing, but it was working because they were dancing. "You're doing great," Todd encouraged, glancing at Aine, who appeared uncomfortable to say the least. He lessened the hand on her back so that he was barely touching her. "Another random fact. Well, okay, let me think." He...

"Good, I'm glad you feel reassured," Todd laughed, realising this was turning out to be quite enjoyable. He supported Aine when she clung onto him for balance and complained about her heels. "Oh, I know that one. They were first worn by Ancient Egyptian butchers to keep their feet clear of...

Todd couldn't believe that he'd actually managed to persuade her to stand up and dance with him. If he was the one being pranked, then he didn't even care at this stage. He smiled gently as she took his hand. "I know a few moves," he admitted, trying to reassure her. "Just follow my lead, okay...

Todd was not very good at chatting to girls at the best of times, and if he had to rate this exchange, he'd say pretty awful. He had anticipated rejection, not the self-deprecating response he received. However, he found reassurance in the fact that it wasn't a personal rejection of him, just...

Todd chuckled awkwardly, trying to decipher what Aine meant by her comment about mistletoe learning its lesson. Did she mean their kiss had been a mistake? He couldn't be sure. "Yeah, I guess mistletoe can be a bit stubborn," he replied, hoping he was on the right track but not entirely sure if...

Todd was relieved that she remembered his name, it gave him hope to think that maybe he had made an impression on her. Enough to not have forgotten him at least, "Yeah, fancy seeing you too." He said, trying to be casual whilst watching her chug a drink and wondering what that was all about...

Todd was dateless at the ball again, it wasn't exactly a shock because he hadn't asked a single girl to ask to go with him. He just sucked at that sort of thing and couldn't get over the small talk barrier. He wondered if perhaps he was just boring. Even the one girl he had kissed had shown no...

"Don't worry, I've seen worse," Todd reassured her, pausing as he realised the potential misinterpretation. "No, not the dancing stuff. I mean embarrassing stuff, like I've walked in on way more embarrassing things," he clarified, feeling the heat of embarrassment creeping up. "Your dancing was...

"Oh, yeah, sure!" Todd replied, his surprise evident in his tone. He hadn't expected Penelope to accept his offer so readily. Todd made space as she settled beside him, and tried to hide his excitement, focusing instead on his book. "Thanks," he said, flashing her a grateful smile. "Actually, I...

Todd peered down the corridor, his steps tentative as he approached the Conglomerated Arts room, unsure if he was allowed to use it if he wasn't a member. He had been handed a broken wireless wizard radio that couldn't be fixed with magic. He wanted to take it apart but didn't have the correct...

Todd had been so engrossed in his book that he hadn't even noticed the stone flying dangerously close to his head. He looked up in surprise when someone apologised to him. It was a girl he had classes with, Penelope, he remembered was her name. "Oh, no worries, Penelope," Todd replied warmly...

Girls were terrifying. Despite his efforts to attract them with a new cologne and haircut, he couldn't figure out how to approach them, let alone get one to like him. Even the one girl he'd ever kissed seemed to elude him since that day, making him feel like he'd messed up. No one had commented...
