"That sounds fun," he said only and smiled faintly. He could only imagine running all 11 people together. Hehe.
Forrest pouted. He didn't want to miss them! But he definitely felt better about missing them. She was right--it was far away. Then, before he could say something, she slapped him in the shoulder. WHAT FO--
Oh, that. It only depressed him further. "I can't. They live in Saudi Arabia. It only works within Britain." Yeah, he remembered that he was so close to hearing their voice, yet so far away, again. Not the best way to pass his day. He looked down, frowning deeply. He wasn't impressed with phones unable to make international calls at all.
She went to Alec's?! WOOOW. Forrest looked at her with big eyes. Did that mean they were 'serious'? Because Katherine--his brother's girlfriend--had wanted to come over too and his parents had asked him just how serious they were (declining in the end because he had been 'too young' and 'not serious at all').
"Cool. I mean, I missed my friends too." He paused, looked at her weirdly, bit his lower lip, looked away, fidgeted and figured she would make him say it in the end so he could as well save them some breath.
"So you will marry Alec?"
He understood? Cool. Ella wasn't the best at getting things to move smoothly from her brain to her mouth and she was pleased she'd done so successfully this time.
"It can be. It can also be chaos but sometimes that's fun too." Grin.
Besides, she liked getting the team together outside of practices. Getting to know each other was just as important as working on their passing skills.
Oh no. She was an idiot. UGH. She should have asked before she'd opened her mouth and now the poor kid was even more upset and just...epic fail, Captain. Way to go.
"I'm sorry, Forrest. I didn't realize-" Because she was an idiot.
"If you want, we can sit down and write letters together sometime? Then we can go to the owlery together too." Did that make it better?
He was doing that staring thing again, Forrest was. Like he was surprised she'd spent time with Alec. The blonde tilted her head and eyed him back curiously but didn't comment except for,
"I'm sure your friends missed you too. I know I did." True story.
...
....
WHY? Like why did this always happen to her? Ella had a right mind to tell Forrest to ask Alec the answer to that question because she seemed to be the one getting asked all the time but she refrained. Forrest was asking earnestly and she'd be straight with him, no matter how uncomfortable the subject made her.
"I um...well we're only seventeen, yeah? We've still got tons of time to think about stuff like that." Nodnod.
"So erm...it's not something we've discussed or anything." Except for telling Bluetiful and Astrid that planning a wedding was
not necessary.
