"You're going to make it alright...right?" He glanced up at her, deciding to stand again.

She blinked and looked up at him. Honestly she hadn't even really thought about it.
"I..."
She nodded, gathering her books into her arms.

He gave her a bit of a frown, not positive that was the right answer.
"Should...I walk you...?"

Second time in the last minute she found herself unable to answer. Her mouth opened but no words came out. And this wasn't her usual not knowing what to say, her body just wouldn't let her. She could feel it in her throat but that was as far as it could go.
Why was he looking at her like that?

And it got uncomfortable. Wonderful. Apparently he had a knack for making things awkward. He cleared his throat a bit, waiting for her to answer.

She swallowed, trying to break her voice out of her throat.
"I-I um... do... you want to?"
Oh, Rini, why? That was the most ridiculous-! Why did she even ask that?! She didn't mean it that way!
Retract, Rini, retract!

"I-" Pause. He what? Wanted to? Didn't want to? He wasn't sure this had much to do with wanting. Or did it? He filled the blank with the first thing he thought of. "-don't want you to pass out or anything..."

Oh, Merlin, was this over yet?
"I know! I mean-!"
She probably should have taken a second to breathe or think or something, but instead she just adjusted her books and brushed some hair out of her face with a sweater-sleeved hand.
"I'll be okay, th-thank you."
Eyes down she brushed past him, and hurried for the door. She had spent much too much time in this conversation. She had to get back to her dorm.

"I-"
He watched her hurry off. Of course. He said something wrong, right? Obviously, or she wouldn't be running away.
He could only blame himself really. He didn't really have the people skills. He deprived himself of them. And apparently it showed.

She wasn't afraid of people, but sometimes situations got her. This was one of them. She said something stupid. A lot of stupid and she felt stupid.
Being in her dorm with Martina wouldn't be much better but she had to get out of there. Sorry Jonas.
