...
Was he going to laugh at her? The blonde slightly-grey haired Head Girl frowned and took the wrinkle cream from the boy's hand, feeling a stinging in her eyes as she did. "M'fine." Clearly. And he could quit gawking now and go on his way. It wasn't as if they were good friends anymore. Or actually, Ella wasn't sure what they were but if he was going to laugh at her in this delicate state, she was all set with talking. And so the badger mumbled an apology for nearly striking him in the head and slowly made her way past him before she started to cry.
She knew she looked horrible, okay? She didn't need reminding.
It was a little harsh of him to laugh, he knew that. Theo was one of the lucky ones that hadn't been affected at all by the old age thing. Was it weird that he felt kinda
left out? His half smile faded a little as Ella showed no signs of laughing along with him. In fact, she didn't seem fine at all.
Oh gooooooosh, what had he done??
She wasn't even gonna talk to him? Even though they hadn't spoken for so long? It must be bad. Theo blinked a few times as she brushed past him and when he heard her start to cry, he spun around immediately until he was in front of her again. "
Heyheyhey... what's up, Ella?" And he hugged her without even thinking it through, like he usually would. Theo, who was nowadays
a lot taller than Ella, clung tight like a big bear, and unfortunately... his face got a little close to her hair. Still smelled like Ella's gorgeous, blonde locks.
