The Dormitory of humans of the male persuasion in their sixth year of schooling.

Wallace was asleep still.

[WAIT. DOESN'T OF THE MALE PERSUASION MEAN...]

Edit: [Nevermind, I looked it up. I thought it was like of the male preference.]

[i don't know words]

Amanda walked in to see Wallace was the only boy in there. As quietly as she could, she put a small box on his bed that was brightly wrapped in red and gold.

Wallace sat up, eyes wide open, and stared at her.

Amanda stepped back a little, smiling and blushing. "Sorry! I was just leaving your gift!"

He continued to stare at her, his facial expression unchanging.

"Uh... Sorry... Happy Holidays..."

He continued to stare.

Amanda started backing up, embarassed. "Sorry- Wallace - - -" Then she tripped and felt on her butt.

Wallace continued to stare where she was standing before.

Amanda slowly got up, and stepped towards the stairs. "Sorry---"

Wallace blinked. "... Oh, hello!"

"Happy Holidays!"

"... Happy Christmas! How did you get up here?"

"Through the normal way."

"Oh. Duh..." Wallace sighed, then noticed the box. "What's this?" He picked it up and shook it.

"Your gift."

"Oh, cool!" He tore the paper off like some sort of ravenous beast.

It was a book titled Beauty in a Dark Wizard's mind

Wallace gasped. "... It's like ..." He flipped it over to read the summary on the back.

Many thoughts one could never weave in the darkest corner of their minds of beauty and it's trueness in the eyes of others was the first sentence of the summary.

"You like it?"

"I love it!"

Amanda smiled, "I picked it just for you!"

"Thank you..."
