The girl forced herself to catch eyes with Maddie, "Emily." Maddie cocked her head and smiled, "That's a very pretty name." Emily nodded her thanks.
Maddie studied Emily for a second. Silky caramel hair..sparkling blue eyes...pretty.
"You are really pretty, y'know that?", Maddie blurted out, shocked at first, then grew comfortable with her words. Emily's face turned the shade of the strawberries.
"Thanks. You are prettier though..", Emily smiled, comfortably looking at Maddie.
