He nodded ever so slightly as Marie continued talking. Maybe she was right. Anya wouldn't freak out too much. She couldn't. "I am pretty cool aren't I?" he said with a smirk. ~~Marie wasn't the only one that could twist words.~~

"I've wanted a lot of things Marie." he said. "I wanted to be a profession football player. I also wanted to invent a cheesecake delivery service place so my fans could send me cheesecakegrams. Then it was quidditch... and inventing a cheesecake delivery service place so my fans could send me cheesecakegrams." He then shrugged. "And now I'm not so sure..." Although... the cheesecake thing still sounded like an excellent plan.

"This isn't the same as just coming to school and you know that." he said in a slightly harsh tone. "And don't tell me that my 'blood status' doesn't matter." he snapped. He knew how some people looked at him in class: 'Let's watch the muggle kid do a magic trick.' "I know you tried to hide it from me, but I know how your family treated you when they found out about us and I know it was hard on you. But have you thought about how things are for me?" His parents couldn't be happy or proud. That was rediculous. They didn't know anything about his life here.

"Yes if." he said jumping up. He kicked at the tour books. "This is completely different." he yelled throwing up his hands in frustration. He paced around angerly for a few more seconds before realizing that he'd just yelled at Marie. The person who was just trying to help.

He leaned against the wall and sunk back down to the floor. "Sorry..." he said queitly. "I didn't mean to yell... at you." He then looked at her when she asked about her. "Of course you do." he said patting her leg. "It's just... I dunno. Complicated." He then stopped for a moment to think it over. Actually, their relationship was pretty simple. "We're the ones that are complicated. It's not like I could ask you to come with me to check it out. I wouldn't expect you to drop everything and do that. I wouldn't expect any of you to."

He stared down at the rune in his hand as Marie confessed that she gave him a bad reading on purpose. "Why would you do that?" he asked. He was shocked. Although he knew better than to take it personally, he couldn't help it. "Are you really that against me being happy?" Not to mention he felt like a total idiot after just saying all that stuff.

"No. They're for you. We just haven't been on good enough terms since I bought them for me to give them to you without feeling a little bit weird about it." he said handing them back. "If I wanted them to go to anybody else I would have done it already."

"Normal isn't always all it's cracked up to be Carter. Trust me, I know this." She was from a normal pureblood family and things weren't always easy for her. "Besides, do you think you would be any different if your family was what you call 'normal'?" She didn't think so. He would still be the same ~~crazy~~ boy that he is now.

Marie rolled her eyes and grinned at him. "Oh yes Carter, you're the coolest ever. No one is cooler than you are." Yeah right, in his dreams.

He wanted to invent a cheesecake delivery service place? "Um, are you hungry for cheesecake right now or what?" she asked with a little laugh then got serious. "I'll make a deal with you. You stop saying IF you go try out and actually go to the tryouts, make the team and then help them win and I'll send you a cheesecake after every game that you win." If they lose... she would send him a picture of a cheesecake to remind him of what he could of had if they had won.

"Well of course it's not the same as just coming to school. It's gonna be way better than going to school. You'll be an adult, you'll get to come and go as you please, you'll get to do things you could never do at school. And you will get to see your family more than you do now." Seriously, what was she going to have to do to get him to see that things aren't going to be as bad as he thinks they will be. "Fine Carter, your blood status may come into play but I see it as a positive thing. Yes, you're muggleborn but you're just as good at what you do as those of us that are pureblood. If you ask me, that makes you better than anyone who is pureblood. You've only had a few years to learn what you know. We've had our whole lives." So he knew how her family treated her in the beginning yet here he was dating her cousin. "Sure, my family had their reservations about you at first Carter but they grew to love you.. They seen how happy you made me and that's all they care about. My happiness means more to them than the blood status of my boyfriend.." Of course they didn't think so highly of him anymore but that had nothing to do with his blood status. That was all because of the way he broke her heart. "I know things aren't exactly easy for you and I can only imagine what it would be like to have parents who know nothing about my world, but you have got to stop feeling sorry for yourself Carter. You have lots of people that love and care about you... that do know about our world. I know it's not the same as your parents knowing, but really, you're not alone here. And just because your parents can't see what it is that you do doesn't mean they can't be proud of you. Think about it, would you be any less proud of them being doctors if you had never actually seen what it was they so?" She highly doubted he would.

Jumping a bit when Carter jumped up and started kicking things Marie pulled her legs up to her chest and held them close to her. Why was he so damn mad at her? She was only trying to help him out here. She let him throw his little temper tantrum though. She wasn't about to stand up and try to stop him. Once he sat back down next to her she relaxed a little when he said he was sorry. "You do know I'm only trying to help you out here right?" They were complicated? Yeah, that pretty much summed up their relationship in one word. Grinning she looked over at him. "Why Mr Phillips, are you asking me to go to Ireland with you and check things out?" She totally would go with him if he was asking. Matty was probably going to be gone most of the summer again so it's not like she had anything planned. Besides, this would help keep her mind off of things that could go terribly wrong over the summer.

Crap. If he had just asked her to go with him he was probably going to change his mind now. Looking down now she tried to figure out how to word this right. "I'm not against you being happy ~~anymore~~. I just... don't want you to be happy with... her." She hated the idea of Caroline being the one that makes him happy. She would rather see him with Destiny than she would with her... cousin. "I'm really sorry Carter." Stupid Caroline. Why did she have to be the one he was dating?

Taking the earrings back from him she smiled a little. "Thanks." Now she felt really bad for what she had done. Here she had just admitted to him that she gave him a negative reading on purpose and yet he still wanted her to have the earrings... even though she only had them because his sister sent them to her. "You know your sister is going to bug me until I tell her what was in the package."
