DJ listened as her descriptions of the events got worse and worse, shivering slightly from the disturbing thoughts that arose from the idea of being hazed. He wasn't the confrontational type so he didn't see things getting too bad, and he wasn't concerned with embarrassment or being unladylike, in fact it was probably a good thing if he was unladylike. Still it didn't sound like a fun trip and he wasn't looking forward to any teasing he would get. "Oh my... Well at least it stopped after the first year and you turned out awesome now." He perked up out of a nervous haze and smiled shakily at her.
The sincerity in her look and speech made sure he did not doubt her words, he was too naive to think someone would lie to him about such a cruel thing anyway. He had been picked on before and while he knew it would be unpleasant he also was pretty sure he could make it through. "First eh..." He pondered for a bit, looking a bit distraught before perking up again. "W-Wait, you think I'm sweet and kind?" He looked up at her with a blush, the boy just couldn't seem to decide on nervousness or optimism. "I'm sure it'll work out, besides, with an awesome friend like you I'll know some of the traps not to fall into." He finished off with a warm smile up at the girl.

She watched him bounce back and forth between the emotions. She mentally wanted to shake him just to make it stop. When he smiled at her she gave him a small smile back. At least it was still going in the same direction she wanted. She crossed her arms, shifting her stance to look more 'capable' as her mother would say. Her father always said it was challenging. "Exactly..."She trailed off as a new thought crept into her head. Friend? They didn't even know each other that well. Was social contact for him friendship? As far as she was concerned, they were acquaintances. She furrowed her brow in thought, breaking the mask for only a moment to show the real emotions before she snapped back to her smile. "Exactly! If you are ever unsure on something, just let me know."She opened her clutch and searched through it's complicated contents to withdraw a 'business' card. On it's glossy pink surface was her name, her cell number, her dorm number, and a kiss print. It was scented to her perfume so when she held it out, the scent filled the air around momentarily. "Here are the easiest ways to get in contact with me..." |

DJ blinked as the girl seemed lost in thought, her expression changing and demeanor shifting. He paid it no mind however as she was soon back to normal and he was more than happy that he agreed with him and that he would have someone to help him through this difficult time of being fresh meat. He looked down, confused at the business card as he took it into his hands, examining it. It was quite odd for a person, a student no less to have a private card without an employment place or some other reason for needing one. "Wow, are you famous or something?" He asked, blinking softly.
He read it over, looking over her information and getting a vague idea of where she was and things like that. He held back a blush realizing a girl had just given him her number essentially, not to mention the kissy print on the card he couldn't help but find strange, not recognizing it as a marketing ploy. "Wow... it's so... pink..." He blinked again. "Thank you Ms. Sahtra." He smiled warmly, looking up at her as he held the card, briefly intoxicated by the scent, causing his face to go a bit pink from the feminine odor before he put it in his back pocket.

"Famous? Oh I wish..."She said, not trying to stop the flattered smile that came to her face. There was that Ms again. It made her feel so grown up to hear it but to give a stronger stand as 'friends', she required him to drop it. "You don't have to call me Ms. Just Sahtra works. Or Candy... because I'm sweet and delicious...."She gave a small laugh, borderline giggle before waving her hand. "Or so I'm told... I'm not sure if it's true. Would you agree?"Digging for compliments? Maybe. "Do you want something to drink? I'm a bit parched after all this talking..."

"Oh, well I bet you will be famous soon, you seem like a very important person." He gave her a warm smile, noting her demeanor. DJ blinked a bit at her correction, turnining away shyly before stuttering. "Y-Yes M-... Candy..." His cheeks flushed a bit at her reasoning for the nickname, but at the same time he couldn't seem to find the strength to argue that point. "I-I suppose I would..." He didn't go around licking people so he didn't exactly know for sure but he didn't say that out loud for fear of looking even more foolish.
"You seem quite sweet and... d-delicious to me." He blushed and nodded shakily. For some reason, most likely nervousness, his throat felt dry as he spoke as well. He nodded softly with a bright smile. "Sure, I'd love to get something to drink with you." He coughed a bit from his awkwardness and dry throat but he maintained his cheerful expression as he agreed.

Sahtra held out her arm, waiting for him to take it when strange tone came from her phone. She pulled it out of her clutch and read the message before she smiled and put it away. She was so happy about her message, that she couldn't keep from smiling. "What are you doing for Valentines Day?" |

DJ blinked, taking her arm when he heard the strange tone from her purse thing. The tone surprised him slightly, causing him to jump a bit. He was no stranger to technology but when his phone rang it made a ringing sound dang it. Her smile creeped him out a bit considering how she seemed to not smile all that much before in their conversation but he didn't think much of it. Then he heard her question. Valentine's Day? Like the day for couples and lovers and hearts and all that fun stuff? He had never had a girlfriend in his life but Valentine's Day was still one of his favorite days for some reason and he always had something special planned to make it a nice day. However he had yet to make such plans this time around. Still he couldn't help but wonder what she had in mind, causing him to blush a bit more. "N-Nothing yet..." He blinked, tilting his head slightly. "Why?"

Sahtra was very happy at how gentlemanly he was. Made her feel as formal and important as her mother. She held to his arm gently as her smile slowly depleted to a suggestive grin. "Neither do I but since you are free and I am free, we should go to the school dance! I was just updated on the event by some contacts. It would be just pretty swish--I mean, cool."She didn't know if he knew the slang from Britain so she quickly corrected herself. She gently lead him towards a place to get a drink--be it vending machine or cafe that came into her line of sight first. |

She really must have been important to get information so fast, he had no idea there was even a school dance coming up, of course he didn't have 'contacts' or anything like that. Her suggestive smile made him a bit wary but he trusted her enough to follow through with wherever she was going with this. He thought it over and despite sounding a bit like a date which made him extremely nervous, it sounded like fun.
Her thick british made him smile a bit, he indeed had never heard the idiom before and was happy for the correction and nodded softly. "Alright that does sound pretty 'swish'." He chuckled softly, hoping he didn't sound like an old father trying to use the hip young kid's new lingo. His eyes scouted a bit for a place to drink and spotted a vending machine nearby, still holding to her arm he went and stuck the money in for both of them, trying to be a gentleman even though he didn't have much cash on him. After he finished picking out his juice he left the change in the machine and let her choose what she wanted, bowing towards the machine in a gentlemanly, slightly hammy way with a nervous giggle.

"Thank you, DJ."She smiled at him and scanned the drinks. She picked a bottled water. She opened it and took a sip, letting the cool water sooth her throat. Ah, refreshing..., she mused as she closed the drink. She turned back to him. "Since we will be attending together, we should go shopping for our outfits! Since you bought the drinks, I'll buy the clothes~."She ended it with a strange intonation what suggested it was not just simple clothes, but something a bit more person, more important. With a pucker of her lips, she thought about the stores. Her mind stumbled over how he said swish and she laughed mentally. Ah that sounded so funny coming from him. "We'll start with a suit store I saw last time I was in town. Hmm we will go with a color outside of pink... Pink and red hair do NOT work--EVER."She hated pink. So. Much. "A light blue! What do you think?"

"No problem." DJ smiled brightly as she chose her drink and he took a sip from his own, feeling relieved that the dryness in his throat was going away. He looked to her as she began talking again after their break in conversation to mend their throats and blinked a bit. He didn't see how drinks and clothes, nevertheless formal clothes for a dance was an equitable trade but he supposed it was better to leave this kind of thing to her anyway that way it would match when the time came. "Alright then." He smiled and nodded, chuckling softly.
His eyes wandered over her face as he saw her lips pucker, transfixed for a moment. There he was staring again, he was such a bashful boy that he could hardly forgive himself for such things but he tried to play it cool all the same. He nodded in confirmation, he didn't know of any suit stores around as he was still in the process of exploring so her idea sounded good to him. "Yeah, that doesn't sound like it would work." He thought mentally about the combination and it didn't suit his tastes either, or at least not in any worthwhile way. He nodded again softly, smiling. "I like that idea, yeah blue sounds good." Blue was a serene, laid-back color that he wore well most times, in fact he'd almost wished he'd gotten into Obelisk Blue just so he could wear the color all the time.

Sahtra nodded. That's settled. It would be easier to pick out the suit first because she would take forever to pick her dress. Did she want a sleek and modest dress, a princess dress, or perhaps an attractive dress? She'd see what they would have at the dress store after she got DJ set up with his suit. She took his arm, whether he was offering it or not and started to lead him down the street towards where the shop would be. She wouldn't drag him, but gently guide him. With practiced skill, she held her water and clutch in her other hand. "Your suit simply MUST have a tail coat. Those are so posh." |

DJ was also wondering what she would be wearing for the dance, most of the results caused him to blush a bit. He was still a bit in awe that this happened so fast. He had a non-date date so early into school. He obediently followed without resistance as he was led by the arm, guided down the street towards the suit shop.
"Sure." He smiled warmly, nodding a bit. He didn't know what posh meant, but that sounded pretty cool, must be a British thing. His eyes searched the market as they approached the shop, nodding a bit more as he thought it over. His attire would probably be fairly simple but he was glad he had her there to help him pick it out.

She left his arm to open the door for herself--not formal but she was excited. She waved at one of the attendants to come over as she waited for DJ. "We need to have my friend measured for a suit." Then she'd leave him in the care of the attendant as she browsed the styles they had to offer. Oh this was delicious~ she loved to shop so she was in a good mood. She flipped through the pages, muttering positive or negative reactions until she found the right one... whenever she'd find it. When she would, she'd let out a gasp and look over the page to figure out how to get it and get it soon. If he was finished by the time she found it, she'd point it out to him so he could know what he would be wearing. |

"Thank you." DJ nodded in thanks as Sahtra opened the door for him, smiling brightly. Usually he would gladly open the door for a lady but his arm was occupied and she was too quick for him. He watched quietly as the attendant came over and started to drag him away. As they pulled out the measuring tape, he looked over to his female friend flipping through the pages of the book. She looked so happy and he was glad for her good mood. He smiled softly as he turned back to the attendant as they wrapped the tape around parts of his chest, down his arms, up his leg, that one was uncomfortable.
Soon the measurements were finished and the attendant wrapped up the tape, writing down the numbers and logging them before gesturing DJ back towards the main part of the store. DJ smiled and nodded to Sahtra as he finished up, adjusting his clothes a bit where they had taken measurements. "So have you found something fabulous for me to wear, oh Sage of Fashion?" He giggled softly.
