Well... that made some things easier, she supposed.  She looked around to see if anyone else stood out to her.

He appeared reluctant, and was holding it at an angle that she couldn't see...

But you could always roll Persuasion, Intimidation, Deception, Sleight of Hand, etc.

A few more girls entered. A blonde girl who was looking around everywhere and a redhead who was dressed with several accessories, a beret and gave off heavy drama class vibes.

"Pleaaaaaase," Garnet said, giving him puppy dog eyes.

(OOC: Persuasion - Garnet Greer rolled 25 using 1d20+10)

Yasmin smiled at them and gave a small wave.  New friends would be good.

John sighed, and handed it over.

...it was a sketchbook.  John hadn't just been doodling; he'd been drawing the people around him.  Including several studies of Garnet that suggested that he'd been watching her much more closely than she'd realized.

The two smiled and waved back, taking a seat near you and Rania.

"Wow!" Garnet said as she went over the drawings. "It's okay if you want to stare at me with art like that!"

John blinked in surprise, and then blushed a bit.

"Uh, thank you," he said.  "I've been practicing... are you sure you don't mind?"

"Hi!" said Yasmin.  "I'm Yasmin al-Jameel, and this is Rania Youssef."

"I'm Clair Wright and this is Cass Papageorgiou," the red head said, the blonde girl smiled.

"Not for art like this. This is really flattering," Garnet said.

"...So I'm a ghul," said Yasmin, quietly.  "Rania's a sphinx..."

She left it waiting for them to respond.

"Uh, thanks," said John.  "...actually, would you like to model for me sometime?"

"How could you tell?" Cassandra asked, confused.

"Modeling, huh? Sure, why not?" Garnet said.

"Smell," said Yasmin.  "We're especially good at sniffing out humans.  And, well, you two... and the rest of this class, for that matter."

John was clearly quite surprised at this.

"Hey, great!" he said.  "Cool.  Let's talk over lunch or something..."

"It's so good of you to do that," came a voice from behind.  "Shame you have to settle for her, but one does have to have standards."

"Are you a dog?" Cassandra asked, excitedly.

Garnet turned around and glared at the person.

"Excuse me?"

"Ah, sorry," said Yasmin.  "No.  I'm a Ghul, like I said.  Although we have kind of a little bit of kinship to hyenas..."

It appeared to be an annoyingly beautiful, polished girl with a noble manner.

"Oh, I'm sorry," she said.  "That came out wrong.  Obviously, for those willing to be a model for... that kind of thing, you're certainly the prettiest choice he could find."

Cassandra nodded, but clearly didn't understand.

"What's your problem?" Garnet asked, crossing her arms.

"Problem?" said Daphne.  "What are you talking about?  I was complementing you."
