WHAAAAAAAAA'?!
When Braeden realized she was laughing at his earlier corniness, the boy's jaw dropped to the floor for a second before he picked it up and instead looked away with embarrassment. His cheeks had gone a very light shade of pink.
As the flabbergasted redhead asked 'really?!', an embarrassed Brae merely nodded his head, still looking away. OHGAWD. He couldn't face Ruby now! He'd just kinda spilled his guts and feelings to the floor and she'd just laughed her head off at it! ;________; He might just cry.
But then Ruby confirmed they were friends.
Looking hopeful, Braeden turned his head sharply in her direction, brown eyes wide when he saw her… what was that…? SMILING?! Wait, or was that a smirk? Or just a really weird smile? Well, whatever it was, it was… nice. Unusually nice. AND HE AND RUBY WERE FRIENDS.
Friends!
He could've just burst into song right then and there.
F is for friends who do things together, U is for you and meeeeeeee! N is for anywhere, at any time at all, down here in the fourth floor corridoooooooooor!
It was now Braeden who asked, "Really?" The goofiest of his lopsided grins was taking over his facial expression now. "You really mean that, Lioness?!"
Ruby couldn't help but snort as the boy grinned stupidly when she confirmed that they were indeed
friends. Eugh. Let's hope he never made her say that in public. She stared at his trademark goody grin for a while before nodding her head slowly.
"YES, didn't I just we were?" She said exasperatedly. He was freaking out way too much, she thought he might need a calming drought or something. Or a fresh pair of pants, bahaha.
"But Brae--" She started suddenly. This could be a potential problem for her
reputation.
"You can't--you can't tell anyone, okay?" If word got out, she'd be worse than dead...she could never face the school again. GAH. She had tangled herself in much more than she had bargained for when she messed with this Marshmallow. Hehe.
