SPOILER!!: Just like Adi <3's AJ! :D

"It is. I just don't intend on getting any more brown,'' Adi said in a light tone. Light brown was okay enough for him. "The breeze is way better though.'' There was a good amount today and he was very much enjoying it as it hit his face or tussled his hair.

Adi listened to AJ go on about what was bothering her. He felt so sorry for her and all that had happened. He was very much glad Ian, the cause of all this trouble, was gone. Maybe Adi would have forgiven him in the distant future (possibly many years from now) but if the Hufflepuff had stuck around, he would have found himself short of two friends. Adi and AJ. Not to mention Angel and Benny would not have tolerated him. Throwing a hex at someone who had their back turned was just wrong.

"Yeah, I heard about Angel and Abby.''
These Valentine girls were quite something. "Hang on...'' Adi paused, the wheels turning in his head. "You weren't at the Gryffindor table when all that happened between those two. You were with me at the Hufflepuff table so that's definitely not what upset you.'' The Puffer looked back at AJ, his expression serious. "I said something that upset you, didn't I?''

"You can tell me. Go on. I know for sure it's not only the whole Ian-Abby-Angel thing that's on your mind.''
Was it just him or was this the most serious conversation he and AJ had ever had?


The second year looked Adi up and down, not that she needed to because she knew what every inch of him looked like, and said "You are already the perfect shade. You don't need the sun like I do." She was not that light since she had spent her whole summer outside, but as soon as she couldn't lounge out in the sun she would be pale all over again. "It really is." Her hair swirling in the wind was proof enough of that.

Good. He had heard about Angel and Abby so that meant that he had every reason to believe that was all that was wrong with her. "I can't believe that Abby took Ian's side knowing all of the facts." Sure, later on Abby came to her and said that she was wrong, but Abby was still mad that Ian left. AJ was her own flesh and blood, and she took up for some crazy kid. That hurt.

Gulp. As it turns out, Adi wasn't buying her story. She didn't think that boys were normally this aware. What was she going to do? There was no way she could tell him it bothered her that he was going to get a girlfriend. AJ promised herself that she would never go there again after what happened to her last time she said she liked him. "Umm..." How was she going to stall AND be convincing?

"I really don't think I should." Why was it hard to keep eye contact with Adi all of a sudden? "I just mean that it's nothing. I was just really tired and overwhelmed with all the drama, and maybe I got too sensitive over something you said." Too much, AJ... shut up! "It's nothing. I'm all better, see?" She forced a huge smile on her face.
