"It's okay - like I said back then, you inspired me with your fun antics. I still admire your carefree spirit." If only Max could be like that on his own. It always took someone else to bring that out of him.
She kind of WAS being interviewed, in some sense, so Max didn't comment on the matter; he just listened intently. So she WAS fourteen. Yikes. That had to be worse than thirteen, didn't it? She was older, around older boys... but school was good and she said everything was fine, so that was a good sign, right? EXCEPT... for her use of the word interesting. Max saw red flags in that statement. "Oh? What do you mean?" Pause. "Any young men trying to steal your heart?"
There. He asked.
He was fine, Ella. Really. But he smiled down at the extended bag and delicately plucked one out, careful not to touch the others. Germs and all. "Thanks." Nom nom nom.
Why didn't he have more friends that carried candy around with them?
Ella smiled at Max, her cheeks turning pink. She was never one to take a compliment well and she wasn't quite sure how carefree her spirit was these days... It was kind of cool to know she'd inspired Max, though. Mostly because he seemed like the kind of guy that usually did the inspiring.
"And like I said, you could still do it y'know, the dancing." Grin.
"But if you decide to, please let me watch." Because Ells wouldn't wanna miss that. Nope.
Young men? How did she know that one was coming? The third year tried and failed to stop the small smile that immediately formed on her face, looking down at the ground in an attempt to hide it from Max.
"I um..." She was nervous. WHY was she so nervous? It wasn't as if Max was going to punish her for this or anything.
"I'm kind of seeing someone at the moment." Blush.
One? He was only going to take one gummy worm? Hmm. That was odd. Ella only ever ate gummy worms in twos or threes...or tens. She just loved them that much.
"Welcome." And he could help himself to more if he wanted.
"So um...how are you, Max?" The small blonde asked curiously, her head tilted to the side. He was graduating soon. Edric was too. Ells was going to lose both her Hogwarts brothers at the end of this term and she just wasn't okay with that. Meep.
"How's life, classes, ...girls?" Eyebrowssss. What? She was allowed to ask too, yeah? Yeah!
