Are you serious? It's alive? [He laughs because he doesn't want to be true, she has to be joking about that.

Looking over at her as she compliments him, he glances behind himself like she had been talking to someone else. When he sees that no one is there, he turns back to her with a blush and a goofy smile. Scott is more confident about his looks now, but it's not as if people come up to him and call him hot all the time. Or ever, really. He responds in kind when he blurts out] Me? But you're so pretty.

[Smooth. He snaps his mouth shut and contemplates leaving, but when she starts visibly freaking out, he reaches out and gently grabs her shoulder.] Hey, it's alright. Relax. [He smiles, intensely reminded of his best friend at the way she rambles.] We can be friends, that's kind of the point of the party, right? Is it your first time here?
