Jenn picked at a peice of lint that was hanging out on her sweat pants, placing it up in front of her eyes before letting it fall slowly to the floor. "Well...you know...how things will work out after we leave school." she sighed, avoiding his gaze. This subject had been eating at her for eons it felt like. "I mean, we won't be in the same house, being in the same common room for long. We won't hear from each other often...and well...I don't know." she finally took a peek up at him. "I guess I'm worried that you'll forget about me." Her brown eyes looked up at him, wider than a deers at the moment. She really was worried. What if he forgot about her? Went off and married some girl and then pushed Jenn aside as a distant memory.
Kel smirked again as he picture Little!Jenn falling asleep in her mother's lessons. He still found it amazing that their families were so alike - and so were the two of them, really - but they were the complete opposite of their familes. If that made sense, of course. Sure, Kel had only met Devon from Jenn's family, but he'd heard her stories of the others, and they sounded much like he suspected his siblings would be, if he had had any. ... Anyway.
He slowly stopped thinking about unimportant things and started to listen to her as she talked. He was fully tuned in by the time she told him that she was worried that he would forget her. He had to actually tell himself to keep his mouth closed, or his jaw would've dropped for sure. How could she
possibly think he'd forget her - especially with that ring in his pocket!? Oh, but of course; she didn't know about the ring.
"You don't have to worry about me forgetting about you, Jenn." he promised, his voice quiet again. He was still fidgiting with the box in his pocket, wondering what he was going to do.
"I won't forget you, ever."
