[ becky is on her way to the bathroom, taking a shortcut across the dance floor, when she's intercepted by an extremely attractive senior who asks her to dance. it takes her completely by surprise, because she's a nobody, she doesn't have friends, and she most certainly doesn't get asked to dance by handsome boys. ] Who, me? [ and just as she turns her head to double check that finnick is actually talking to her, she finds herself spinning, a delighted squeal escaping her lips. she starts laughing as he dips her closer to the ground and she holds on for dear life until her puts her back upright. it's certainly the most exciting thing to happen to her all night, probably. ] Hi... I'm Becky. [ is all she manages to say, and her voice sounds far away, a dopey grin permanently plastered on her face. ]

[ despite grabbing a girl he believes he's spied in the corridors once or twice, he finds himself smiling when she laughs. he makes no assumptions on her, thinking her to be unpopular or too excitable or a girl who is flustered by the mere smile of a boy being sent their way. she's merely a girl at the dance who he's chosen to whisk away from whatever fairytale she happens to be set in, perhaps being her fairy godmother by making that boy she longs for just a little bit jealous. ]

[ finnick would say i know, but charming girls isn't what it had been a few years ago, when he'd been annie-less and desperate for a good time, joking about with his flirting and stringing girls hopelessly along his fishing line. but there's nothing to gain from this but a good time, to remember this dance as one he had enjoyed by making a fool of himself, meeting students who aren't in his year and speaking to those for the first time who happen o be. he thinks to twirl her, but instead chooses not to. ] Finnick. [ raising his arm, he twirls her, then. ] You're a good dancer, Becky. Glad we met this way.

[ all becky can really do is laugh nervously in finnick's presence, a little mesmerized by how attractive and close he is to her. she notices he smells nice, too, like the beach, and it's all a little overwhelming, especially since a few minutes ago she'd be completely down in the dumps. she's a little amazed at the literal 180 he's spun her into. ]

Hi... [ she laughs again when she realizes she's repeated herself, her face flushing as she clings to finnick. she's fairly certain she might fall over if she lets go. ] I, uh, I mean... I already said that. You're a good... everything. [ though, really, not even she has any idea what that means. ]
