 Mrs. Alex Turner *asterisks user* Secret Door
So. Delusional and in denial. What a good combination. "It is bad luck, trust me. I've been up here often and never saw your sorry face." Which was true, she did spend a lot of time around these parts nowadays and hadn't seen him around. Maybe she got too comfortable. Maybe she thought -- hoped -- he had left the school and spare her his frown. She shrugged. "So my luck ran out. You've always had a knack for finding me, anyway. Stalker." Remember when he said he had been looking for her and found her in five minutes?
Yeaaah, good story, Matthew.
Delusional, delusional, delusional. "More than what I got!" She exclaimed, irritated, trying her hardest not to stamp her foot on the ground lest she look like a child throwing a tantrum. Which she definitely wasn't. She was a young woman trying to get her point across to a hard-headed BOY that just needed his head swatted. Seriously. "Kinda liked you. And the kiss made me realise I didn't like you like that." She audibly groaned again and turned on the spot before facing him again. "How can you not understand that? The second I knew for sure I told you. You just got offended like a LITTLE GIRL." Had she yelled that last part? You bet she did.
She had been as honest with him as she could have been. The fact he hadn't done the same -- still wasn't doing the same -- was infuriating.
The smile on his face just made her want to laugh, and so she did. Loudly and cruelly and unabashedly. "Don't you get so smug now. A friendship with you would be the worst thing that could happen to me." Not really. Not at all. There were a bunch of worse things that could happen to her. None of them involving Matt. But a friendship with him was something she did not want; hadn't wanted since that day in the trophy room.
She had told him to leave. She wanted to him leave and yet the sight of his back was maddening. It reminded her of him leaving the trophy room simply because she had been HONEST, making assumptions about her and giving her no time to explain. So, she didn't keep her mouth shut. Not at all. "WOOOOOW!!! What a surprise!!" She called out after him and started slowly applauding. "There he goes, ladies and gentlemen! The brave Lion, doing what he does best. Escaping."
