The dull and uncomfortable thud in her heart started as he looked back at her.
Yet that was all he did. He stared at her, with those narrowed eyes that made even her feel ashamed. Ashamed of keeping this a secret from him or becoming Head Girl...she didn't know. But despite the inner conflict she was having, Evelyn kept up her own neutral expression. Noticing that his fist closed around the badge, the Slytherin girl stood up, closing the book she was reading and letting it plop down on the seat she had been seated in before crossing her arms. Comfort zone. She needed the comfort zone.
And...
She stared back. Because she didn't know what else to do or even begin saying.
For a moment Josh closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Yes, maybe he was angry and upset right now but he could not just release it all on her. It would do no good to the situation and he would never forgive himself for doing so later on anyway. So he just needed to...calm down.
*another deep breath*
For some reason, her silence added some more to his anger though. Maybe he was expecting an explanation. A good explanation. Yes, he wanted an explanation....for everything. RIGHT NOW!! But she was doing nothing but stare.
Patience, Josh Carter. He had to do his best to tame his feelings because it was all for her. It was her. Not someone else.
So swallowing a bit, he blinked then looked into her eyes again before speaking
''Then they were all lies.'' yes, he tried his best not to sound angry and cold but was not sure if he managed that. He could not and did not pay attention to that.
''Why?''
