spaceBeth smiled when she spotted her quarry, sitting outside the classroom, apparently waiting for the class before theirs to let out so he could head into the room. She approached him quickly, sitting down across from him and staring for a moment before clearing her throat. He seemed pretty engrossed in his book, so she cleared it slightly louder. When this also failed to get a response, she switched tactics. Being somewhat considerate of the people around her was clearly not going to work. "Oi, Ahab," she said, a bit too loudly. She knew that wasn't his actual name, of course, but she hadn't paid much attention to him before this last week and hadn't caught it since. She knew it had something to do with a book and a whale, and Ahab was close enough. He'd correct her, probably with no small amount of annoyance, shortly.

spaceWhen he looked up, she started rambling before he could say anything. "Hey, I'm Beth, I'm in your English class. Figure you probably don't recognize me since I tend to sneak in late and sit in the back. But I wanted to talk to you about something. And if you could be super open-minded about it, that'd be awesome. I'm horrible but if you bear with me it'll be totally worth it, I swear." To her credit, she didn't think she was lying. Yvonne was awesome, so if Not-Ahab would hear her out and go along with her idea, he'd probably end up super happy about it. Of course, she didn't know the guy well enough to know if they were actually compatible. But she'd been watching (read: stalking) him a little bit over the past week to try and get a feel for the guy, and he seemed alright by her book. Reminded her a bit of Nate, which was a good sign. The blonde was a pain in her arse, but she liked him anyway. Yvonne wasn't nearly as acerbic as she was, so surely if this guy was a little like Nate, he'd get on just fine with the Frenchwoman. Right?

spaceUndeterred by his correction regarding his name, Beth grinned leaning towards him. "I knew it! I mean, book, whale. Ahab seemed more likely to get your specific attention than 'hey you'. Plus some people're weird when you touch 'em." She settled with her elbows resting on her knees, legs parted, looking about as unladylike as she possibly could. As if to complete the image, she blew a rather large bubble with her gum, smacking loudly as she chewed it back down after it popped. "Nice to meet you, too, though I think you might regret saying so. Most people do eventually." She winked at him. Honestly, she was going to try to hold out on being completely obnoxious until she'd talked to him about Yvonne. That she hadn't already achieved 'completely obnoxious' was probably not a great sign, though.

spaceShe looked him up and down, assessing him up close for the first time. She'd been watching him, sure, but always from a safe distance. And in class all she ever saw was the back of his head, anyway. He looked alright, though. Cute. She hadn't noticed the cross necklace originally, though. Would that be an issue? ... Meh. She was counting her chickens before they hatched if she started worrying about stuff like that. "Okay, look. Thing is, I've got this friend. She's from France, super sweet girl. Why she's friends with me is anybody's guess, because I'm ******** awful. But she's not, 's my point." Beth blew another bubble with her gum, the retrieval only half as annoying as the first time. "Thing is, she's, you know. Lonely? I got a boyfriend, our friend Dom's got a boyfriend, everyone's got a boyfriend, 'cept her, she's single. So she asked me to try and set her up with someone I knew, 'cept I don't know people, because I'm a ******** b***h and I don't really like to know people, see? But you," she emphasized the word 'you', "seem like a more or less alright guy. From what I've observed, which isn't much, I'll admit. But you don't set off any of my 'this guy's an arsehole' warning bells, and those things trip at so much as a snide look. They're on the sensitive side, y'see." She leaned back in her chair, crossing her legs over one another, and her arms across her chest. The brunette ignored the way her glasses slipped down her nose and a bit of hair fell in her face, trying to look like it didn't bother her. She was on a mission, after all. "So, I don't know any guys, but you seem alright. And Yves is great. So I was wondering if you'd humor me and, I dunno. Dom's family owns this little coffeeshop, it's not too too far from here, we hang out there a lot. Loafing about, eating the day old baked goods, that kind of thing. If you were to, out of the goodness of your heart, show up there one day, say on a Saturday around three-ish, and meet my friend, that'd be cool."

spaceShe inhaled deeply, lips pursed. She didn't figure Jonas would go for it, he was pretty cute and seemed nice, so desperation was unlikely. But she could at least tell Yvonne, in all honesty, that she'd tried and asked the one guy she (kind of not really) knew. And if he went for it, for some weird arse reason, that'd be.... weird, but awesome. "It's not like I expect you to show up and you and her hit it off and ride off into the sunset to marry and give me godkids," she said finally. "Or actually show up at all. I'm just asking. Putting it on the table, in case it's something you might be willing to do, out of the goodness of your heart or because it sounds like a meet cute from a ******** movie or whatever." She shrugged. "It's out there, your choice. But I promised I'd try to introduce her to someone and unfortunately I don't know a lot of someones so it ended up being you. Because you seem nice." It was kind of a shame Jonas didn't know her, actually, because if he did at all he'd know what a compliment that was. She didn't call anyone nice, ever, except Dom and Nate. Mostly because almost no one was ever nice. She certainly wasn't, unless someone earned it. She did try to make more of an effort to be neutral as opposed to outright mean nowadays, but she certainly didn't go out of her way to be nice.
