And of course, they were back to that picture. Now, she hated that picture beyond anything but something in his voice told her that he really didn't want to let it go. Whether that was so he could cause more damage or just admire it (which quite repulsed her), she could not tell. So she thought over his bargain in her head.
"No. No, you can...you can keep it," She said finally. She'd just have to ignore it if he ever mentioned it again, like the mature person she was. Ha! This was very awkward...what were they supposed to do now?
But Brae, you can only upset your friends. And we're not friends.
Braeden gulped loudly, the goofy grin disappearing from his face.
"We--we're… we're not?" he asked, brown eyes widened with surprise.
Yeah.
You'd think that after all the verbal and physical abuse, Braeden would get the message that he and Ruby were not friends but, rather, bully and victim. However, in his masochistic mind, Brae thought they had
some sort of friendship. A twisted friendship, yeah, but a friendship nonetheless.
And then Ruby was letting him keep the photograph.
The surprises did not end this day! Ruby - the fiery redheaded Lioness - was actually
letting him keep the picture?! Wow. "…Thanks," muttered the Gryffindork with the ghost of a smile on his lips. He couldn't bring himself to flash one of his goofy grins again though.
Were he and Ruby seriously NOT friends?! ;_________; When did THAT happen?! Sure, they were a little weird, but… he thought they were friends! :'(
