"Yeah, that didn't work. Lunch, if you want to ruin your image, or library after school if you don't, how 'bout that?"

More blankness.

Then: "Um. I, what? No, yeah, we can hang, that's fine," he says, seeming a bit distracted. "Uh, wait, when? And where?"

"...either lunch or library after school," he repeats. "Are you alright? Is the blood loss still affecting you?"

"Um, yeah, lunch or library sounds good. Probably library? I don't know, it's just, things are a bit... confusing."

He checks his watch and says, "Yeah, see you later, I've got to get to Math." Then realizes what he said, and corrects, "I mean Geography."

He leaves to go to his next lesson.

"Yeah, alright."

To class he goes.

Geography. Theo's acting pretty distracted.

Math! Uncharacteristically, Sadde sleeps through it as well.

And then Latin.

And French for Theo. He's definitely distracted; he's uncharacteristically forgetting some of the basic grammar rules.

And then lunch.

Lunch!

Theo goes and sits with the soccer guys again, trying to seem less distracted. He's definitely better, but still noticeably not focused on the conversation at hand.

Sadde walks up to Theo after lunch: "You got anything planned for free period?"

"Yeah, Josh told me that the guys are doing soccer practice."

"Oh. Cool, have fun, then."

And off Sadde goes to the Sunnydale High library, surprisingly well-supplied with books on the occult.

And Theo goes to play soccer. Woo!

Then afterwards: Gym.

And Sadde's there again. More basketball! More being the last to be picked! Woo!

More not being the last to be picked!

He's not as good as he was last time, on account of distraction, but he's still good.

And Sadde is used to the thing that is gym, so while people aren't passing him the ball and he's generally not playing he can enjoy the view.

Theo actually notices Sadde looking some more this time, and seems somewhat pensive in response.

He's just about to pass the ball, still thinking about Sadde, when he fumbles it, seeming surprised by something. He quickly recovers and continues, but it was definitely noticeably weird.

Sadde notices it! And then the teacher tells someone to pass him the ball and they do and he does stuff with it then passes it to someone else then doesn't do much of anything for the remainder of the class.

And after class: "So what was that?"

Theo looks at him and seems like he might be about to respond, but then he grins, blushes very slightly, and turns away.

Sadde raises an eyebrow. "Did you just blush? That's kinda adorable."

More grinning. No response.

"That doesn't actually answer either of my questions!"

"I don't know if I blushed! Probably!"

Is Theo avoiding a topic? He might be, or he might just not want to be the first to mention it.
