Bethanie / Laurel
Laurel was of two minds. First of all, she was very glad to be seated here where she could actually enjoy the conversation, and she was also feeling a little bit giddy at the danger of it all. But she was also terrified of the danger. What if someone saw her? What if they told her mother? What if this stupid card had ruined her life?
So, as she settled next to Bethanie and held up her place card to show the other girl that she did, in fact, belong here, she had a genuinely pleased grin on her face but her eyes were quickly scanning the immediate area as though searching for predators.
"So, um," she said nervously, "this is weird." As though being placed anywhere near a female was totally an outer space concept.
