"That's quite a spread," Isabella said quietly, and then handed him one of her earphones. "Good thing we have similar interests, huh?" She completely ignored any bit of his question, knowing it wasn't that bad. After all, he wasn't' trying to mess with her. At all. Quite the opposite.
Turning up the volume, Tweak smiled a bit, stuffing the other white earphone into the ear closes to Miles. "Got any preferences?" she asked, glancing up at him as she pointed to her playlists.

When Rhianwen stuttered out her bold words, Jayce stiffened, falling silent. He watched in curiosity as she got up to address the other jocks, who merely laughed and acted like they were intimidated.
"Look at this! A little mouse who wants to play rough, huh?"
One of the guys poked Rhianwen's shoulder, snorting. Glancing back to his friends, the boy laughed again. "Won't get too far, will she?"
Jayce stood, slowly moving around until he was behind the brave girl. Shaking his head at the group, he placed a hand on Rhianwen's arm. "Come on guys."
"Now you stand up for the mice, eh?" One of the jocks chuckled, and someone else ended up spraying their milk across the table. "When did you fall for her, Jay?"
Looking uncomfortable, Jayce shook his head again. "Is this worth it?" Pushing Rhianwen back a bit, the tall boy met his friend's gaze steadily, trying not to look like he was ready to just walk away. Reaching for the chocolate milk that one of his posse had snagged, he handed it back to the tormented student before moving toward their table again. "You're going to get us all in trouble."
A few of the jocks poked the other kid for a few moments before losing interest and heading back to the "popular" table where Jayce had seated himself. Here it comes. Questions, prompts, and uncertainties were brought up, and the green-eyed youth merely shrugged, his gaze on Rhianwen for a while. She certainly has bravery.
