"Concentrate, Ari, focus on your school work!"
Looking up at your friend, a dark elf named Arinora, you can't help but grin as her amber eyes stare at yours, frustration obvious on her tan face. You've been helping her with her academics since last year, ever since she came back from her family's forest home. She's bright, just not when it comes to studying or taking tests, which makes her come off as lazy to some people, even though you know that isn't true at all. The two of you have been good friends since childhood, despite your different races; unlike the generally reserved high elves, dark elves are more open-minded about such things.
"I am trying my best," says Ari, as she tries to hold back a yawn. "It's just... boring."
"This isn't going to happen if you can't focus," you scold her gently, causing her to stiffen; which only makes your heart warm more towards her despite yourself...
She wants to snap back at you for making her study, but then she remembers her goal, thinking to herself, (If he gets into the magic academy and I don't... he might meet another girl there while we're separated.), which causes her to clinch her fist with resolve.
You can't help but explore Arinora's body with your eyes as she studies. The dark elf girl sits on your desk chair and begins stretching out her arms above her head before rolling her shoulders forward and then down. Her lithe muscles ripple under brown skin, giving you an idea of what lies beneath the loose shirt and pants that cover her athletic figure. Her white hair tumbles across her bare shoulder as she continues to stretch, and the sight of her slim, toned torso causes you to imagine how it would look if she took off her clothes right there in front of you.
The dark elf's hand reaches behind her head, pulling her ponytail through the hole in her black beret and letting it dangle over her left shoulder. She's always been innocent; you're pretty sure she's unaware of the effect this has on you, but you don't want to ruin your friendship by being too blunt about your feelings towards her. Instead, you sit down beside her on your bed, facing each other, and begin discussing ways to study for upcoming exams. It seems like every time you try to tutor her, you end up getting distracted by her luscious body, but tonight, you manage to keep yourself focused enough to be helpful to your friend.
"Alright, Ari! Answer one more practice question and we'll take a break," you tell Arinora, trying to encourage her.
Ari grunts in reply, clearly unmotivated, but after answering another question correctly, she lets out a sigh of relief as she lays her hands down on her lap, turning away from you to stare blankly at the ceiling. After a moment, she turns back to you with a smile plastered on her face. "Thanks, I needed that," she says happily.
"What do you want to do for a break, Ari?"
