Delphinium
Delphinium jumped when Andrew sat in the chair next to her (*haha not at the pool yet, sorry everyone*). She recognized him as another water element, but while she knew he was in her classes, she didn't think she'd ever talked to him before. She laughed at her awkwardness and smiled back at him.
"Hi, Andrew! I'm surprised you remembered how to pronounce my name! You'd be surprised about how many people get the name of a flower wrong. You can call me Del, if you'd like."
He looked confused. Something inside Delphinium twisted uncomfortably. Why did he look confused? She had said something wrong, she decided. She had been too blunt as always and her social blunder would cost her a friend, and she didn't have many of those.
"Or you could call me anything you'd like!" She giggled nervously. Before Andrew could say anything, she asked, "So how are you liking the party? Did you have a good summer? Um, do you like to read?"
Okay, so it was a lot of questions, but Delphi liked questions, and thought they made acceptable small-talk without being too personal. But she also knew that her abrupt "interviews" (as Oliver called them) tended to drive people away more often than anything else.
Maybe that's why she only had one friend back home, Julie.
