But then she mentioned the snitch, and Jake found himself supposing (hoping?) that she was talking about something he'd given her last year.
When there was no quidditch?
The year before...
When he wasn't on the team or even around?
"Neptune..." Jake said quietly, keeping his voice as casual as he could. "I think... well... I know it's complicated but... You and Jim... you... you were together, Marie said. In the past?" he added that... almost hopefully. "I think it's best to just ask now, rather than bring it up again another time."
As for the quidditch though... Jake held back from telling Neptune that it was kind of impossible for both seekers to win in a game of quidditch... that was just his pedantic nature.
He only... just hoped she didn't get upset at his question. He'd feel like the worst person in the world. Neptune stroked the little golden ball and its wings fluttered at her touch. It hadn't been very lucky at all so she shoved it back into her pocket.
...Jake REALLY didn't want to show Neptune his injuries, right? She thought about asking AGAIN, but maybe he REALLY didn't want her to see. She had no idea why.
Nod. NodNod. "Yeah.... yeah, but it was ..." complicated, but she'd already said that. And it still WAS complicated. "... I wasn't very good at it. And he wasn't either. I told you I wasn't good at being a girlfriend." She HAD told him she wasn't a good girlfriend. Though she supposed she'd gotten better. "We broke up and now we're trying to be friends."
Friendship was ... also complicated. |
