"I don't know how." she whispered as she watched Seth walk away from her. Didn't he understand that? She touched her arm where Seth had laid his hand subconciously. No one had ever spoken to her like that, not once in her whole life. Except for Jaeke, but that was different, they had no need for words. They both understood the system, the rules.
She shook her head angrily. It was ok for Jaeke to go against his family , he could do anything he wanted, but she was a girl. The only option for her was to marry someone rich. Seth said it himself, she was no good for anything but to look pretty and important. Without her families backing, she wouldn't even have that. It's not like she had a friend like Seth on the other end of it either. She never had friends. She smiled grimly. They thought she was bad, wait till they met her mother and aunt. This was going to take some acting non her part, but then, she'd always acted a part, hadn't she. She sighed and wiped her face. Seth couldn't just go barging into her house, he'd need to be introduced.
She ran to catch up with him.
"Wait, you can't just go barging in..." she stopped her self. "I mean, you're supposed to be someone important, rich, from my world. I'll need to introduce you, if you don't want to be thrown out." she didn't add that she might be just as likely to be thrown out too, she and her mother had not exactly parted on the best of terms, her aunt hadn't spoken to her in months.
