River listened to Benedict, attentive. If he explained how he could figure so much stuff out, maybe he'd be able to keep his secrets...

Cleo focused onto the new kid, and listened intently her head slightly tilted to the left. He seemed shy, like he wasn't used to being able to talk about these things without being reprimanded. His hands were less calloused than those of other Amity members and she guessed her probably spent more time reading then he did working. One of his parents was probably a Erudite transfer and that's where he got books from. He preferred to be alone, rather than with other people and that's why his feet kept twitching as if he wanted to leave. She smirked and leaned back, another blank page on a book she'd unraveled.
Benedict then realized that everyone seemed to be staring at him, listening still and he flushed. "I- um." he stammered, at a loss for words. He then said the first thing that came to mind which happened to be, "The French word for potato is pomme de terre which literally translates to apple of the earth." He face palmed. God, he could spurt out the stupidest facts at the most inconvenient times.
Cleo's smile widened and she leaned back on her elbows, "Hey, why's your bed softer than mine?" she accused River turning to him suddenly. It was true. Other than that, she was just glad that she was right, about Benedict. Too shy, and timid to have the attention all on him. ((( Benedict, like Benedict Cumberbatch who plays Sherlock in Sherlock Holmes? )))
"Because I chose the best bed, obviously," River replied after a second, "Or maybe because yours hasn't been slept on, yet."((Gtg.))
((Who else!?!? :D !!!!! ))
He let out a breath, allowing himself to finally relax, running a hand through his hair. He still didn't quite know if he fit in yet, though. Right now, he felt a little bit like a zoo animal on display. He figured it would pass and some new initiate would take that place.

"Can we switch beds?" she asked laughing. She looked back at the new kid, bored.
((( Awhhh bye! )))
((( LOL yeah. )))Cleo glanced at Bekah, and couldn't help herself from smiling.
"I... I'm going to the laboratory." Benedict said finally, sensing the bored silence. He couldn't bear it any longer and the fact that he could mix whatever chemicals he wanted made him excited. He rose, shouldering his pack and tucking the rest of his belongings under the bed itself.
Cleo watched him leave, bored she lay back onto River's finding comfort in the softness. She didn't reply to Bekah's question. ((( Brb )))
"Are you okay?" River called over to her from several beds away. "And, no, you may not have my bed, Cleo."
River forced himself not to grin. "Interesting fall, there."
Cleo groaned, "Too bad, I'm stealing it" she told River.
"Nope. Not unless you wish to die in your sleep."
Cleo laughed, and rolled herself in the blanket lying on his bed. "I'd like to see you try" came her muffled voice.
((Is Cleo ticklish?))River took a few seconds to formulate a plan.
((( LOL yesh )))Cleo had rolled herself up in his blanket and lay smirking at River.
((Oh, good... Very good... >:D))River lunged at her very suddenly and began to tickle her stomach relentlessly.
Cleo laughed and tried to get away from him, but she was too tangled up in the blanket. "River!" she squealed laughing.
"Cleo!" he mimicked, slowly pushing her toward the edge of the bed.
"No!" she cried trying to pull herself back towards the middle of the bed.
((Gotta remember that for next time... >:) ))River laughed maniacally. "Who'd like to see me try, now?"
"I'm gonna kill you once I get out of this" she said, trying desperately to get away.
"I'd like to see you try!" River exclaimed triumphantly. She was almost at the very edge of his bed...
Cleo finally got one leg free, and wrapped it around his waist. She pulled him towards her, trying to get free.
Well... That was unexpected. Now he had to find a way to push her without falling, himself...
Cleo smirked, "try to get me off now" she challenged holding onto him tightly. He wasn't going to win this easily.
Well, that gave him an idea... He stopped tickling her and grabbed her waist, picking her up off of his bed.
"River!" she screamed, trying to holding onto him.
He dropped her onto a different bed, then scrambled onto his own. Now it would just be weird if she came back... he thought smugly.
Cleo sat on the other bed, her arms crossed over her chest. She glared at River, "you cheated" she claimed trying not to smile.
"Cheated?" River asked innocently, "How?"
"You can't pick up your opponent with your man strength" she replied quite seriously.
Cleo looked back towards Catron, and she smiled.
Cleo frowned, "Who're the lovebirds?" she asked confused.
"What?!" Cleo exclaimed almost falling off the bed. "I don't hook up with cheaters" she joked glancing back at River.
"Well," River said seriously, "I found it hard to concentrate with all the love sounds coming from you and your mattress, Catron."
Cleo laughed, leaning back against the bed.
((( Idek why I always imagined River to look like one of these two 
)))
((I can see the first one, I guess. I always pictured him looking like the actor whose picture is on his profile. :P))
((( Idek, I always imagined him as the first one kinda, with the BEAUTIFUL green eyes. )))
Cleo smirked, "He was too busy cheating, to do concentrate on anything" she said.
"Yeah. Sure..." Cleo added. ((( Gtg byeeeeeeee )))
River crossed his arms like a five year-old. ((Me too. Bye!))
((( On for a couple )))Cleo frowned sensing the direction the conversation was going in.
