"I just dunno why you'd want to play mini golf with me when there's someone you like a lot more," she replied bluntly. No point in beating around the bush.

And...that next statement was unexpected. Not the sentence itself, but what she suddenly felt when it was spoken. She wasn't happy with him, but...but that didn't mean she actually wanted him to leave...

...Jake had to just stare at Penelope for a moment. She was being extremely blunt. And confusing. Where had that come from? "I don't like her more." Wait. Wait. That came out wrong. "No, I do, it's just -" Stop. Rewind. Deep breath. "I like her... differently. But not more. You're still my friend." Unless she had changed her mind or something...

...Which she might have done. Because there was no response to his offer to leave. Should he take that as a hint? Probably.

Alright. "Well, I hope you find a partner, then," he muttered, getting his bag situated on his shoulder so he wouldn't knock Eggbert around on his way back up the 9423523 flights of stairs.
