Alex's P.O.V
"Is it a fish?"
"A mermaid?"
"An anteater?"
"An anteater? Wha-do you guys even know how to play this game?"
"Of course we do! You're just a terrible actor Jackson!", I say rolling my eyes and leaning back on my bed.
Jackson, Leon, Oliver, George and I were currently in my infirmary room playing "Guess that creature!"
Since we were all stuck in the infirmary for another couple of days we decided to make the best of that time and bond with each other.
Oliver was sitting on the bed next to me, resting his back on the headboard, smirking at Jackson. Leon was sitting on a chair and was adamant on guessing the creature just to show up Oliver.
George was also sitting on a chair near the table his hands constantly fiddling with some new device he was working on, Jackson was currently trying to get us to guess the creature Oliver had given him.
"Alright, is it a Hippocampus?", I ask ready to give up.
"Yes! Finally! Thank you Alex!", Jackson said whooping and taking his seat.
"Wait! How in the name of Strix was what you did a Hippocampus?", Leon says, throwing his hands in the air.
"Alex got what I meant!", Jackson says defensively, gesturing to me.
"She just guessed it! Right Alex?", He asks looking straight at me.
"Hey you leave me out of this. I'm going to get more water.", I say, getting off the bed.
"Well what do you think George?", Leon asks him, as I'm picking up the pitcher for the water.
"I need a more powerful battery for this.", I heard George respond just as I leave the room.
"Alexandra!", I hear from behind me, as I'm filling up the pitcher with water.
"Benjamin.", I say not turning around till the pitcher is completely filled.
"And how are you this fine evening?", He asks, after I finally turn, leaning in the doorway.
"Well, I can definitely say that I have entertainment.", I say smiling, thinking of the boys arguing.
"Yeah I could hear Mr. Jones and Mr. Garcia arguing when I walked in.", He says smiling.
"So how's everything going up there?", I ask leaning back against the counter.
"Pretty good so far. But everything is moving really slowly.", He says, running his hand through his hair.
"How's Nate doing? I haven't talked to him the last two days.", I ask.
"Oh really?", Ben says smirking.
"Benjamin.", I say shooting him a look, grateful for the darkness that was hiding the light blush on my cheek.
