Ace Character - Final 4
Ben was entirely grateful he hadn't been left to his own devices. If he had been told to find his own way to school, he would have been sunk. And the man continued the kindness of speaking English so that he could understand. Though this day was odd, there were a lot of blessings to be seen and appreciated. "Of course." He responded simply, still interested in how feminine and soft his voice sounded as instead of the one he was so used to.
For a moment Ben was ready to admit defeat. There was no point in them both being late, right? Despite this man's help, it wasn't kind to drag him down with Ben. Still, the farmboy did not want to think about how lost he would be if he gave up now. He might be able to find his way back 'home' but then what? The scenery was nice, at least, and though the air was chilly it was brisk. It kept Ben awake and alert and it felt good. The pace on the bike picked up, and it was before Ben was mentally ready that he found himself at what could only be the University. It looked like every University Ben had ever seen- you know, when your high school guidance counselors spent all that time pushing brochures of opportunities in your face.
She's pretty. Ben noted as he realized a girl was walking towards them. Not as pretty as... Anka... but still pretty. It was weird to think that he was prettier then anyone, but it was the honest truth. The body he wore was attractive. It would have been ridiculous to deny it. Ben kind of stared blankly as the girl spoke, wondering if he could understand now because he knew what language it was but there was no such luck. John's reply came wonderfully timed, and also explained what the girl had said. Or at least, Ben could only assume that she had been asking about them carpooling on a bike.
"Oh..." Ben said, his reasoning taking a long time to catch up to what was going on. "Thanks. Sorry about that." He said, turning back and giving John an apologetic smile. "I can't remember anything from last night." He said, releasing a sigh and finding it interesting how even just sighing was different. Anka's sighs came out softer unlike his which were almost always heavy. He accepted thekey almost numbly and then stopped to look at the Pikachu. Pokemon is a thing in Sweden? Whoa... the things you learn. Ben said, finding the key ring fascinating.
"What? What do we need to talk about? Don't we need to get to class?" John had already proven himself to be a friend. And I mean... this girl had brought Anka's bike, but still... Ben trusted John. He knew John. Sort of. As much as you can know someone in less then an hour. At any rate he was more comfortable remaining near John, and though he had no proof he and John were in the same class he was really hoping they were.
