Somehow she'd thought she'd look better with wrinkles. Y'know, when she was older. Cute like an elephant or something.
He knew the feeling? Ella frowned slightly at that, searching his face for some kind of clue that would tell her what was wrong. She felt guilty for not knowing...like anything about Theo's life. It'd been too long. And he was asking if she wanted to talk about it? The eighteen year old bit her lip and then replied quietly. "Just want to talk to you. It doesn't have to be about this.

Theo shrugged. "
You don't look that bad. I've seen worse." He hadn't... really... but he was just trying to make Ella feel better. What was all this ageing stuff even about? Was it something they had eaten or drank?

"Never too busy for you." He said, mimicking her quiet voice. "
Wanna sit?" Theo plopped himself down and leaned against the corridor wall.
"
I, err... I miss you, too." He had missed her for a long, long time. Like, well over two years.
"
You are gonna go to the dance thing, right?" Theo looked up at her closely. He didn't wanna hear that this
wrinkle thing would hold anyone back from the big
stupid valentine's gig they had going on. Theo really wouldn't mind going if he had a date, but he didn't, so...
