I've never been so uncomfortable around someone before. He seems to already be over what happened...whereas I am only beginning to deal with it all. I hate Potions even more now."
Kurumi giggled softly. A mess? That was sort of an understatement, wasn't it? Had they ever not been a mess?
"I am not even sure if I really like like them," she said blushing. "I've spent a lot of time with both of them. Jonathan even gave me a piggy back to the Great Hall when I lost my shoe. Ali and I stayed up almost until morning after the match because of his injury."
Kurumi's cheeks blushed when Selina mentioned it being her first kiss. Kurumi still remembered hers like it was yesterday. It had happened so suddenly, and not in the place that she though it would be. An empty classroom and it had been just her and Adam. It was before she knew he was going to leave for Mexico, but not too long before. She wished now that she would have known. She probably would not have allowed herself to have been kissed at that time. The thoughts of what could have been lingered on her mind far too often now. They were holding her back from what could be right now. "Sounds to me like you both like each other," she said softly. "I'm jealous, you know. Gideon isn't insane and jumping into fires professing his love for you." THAT was a pretty big statement.
Selina watched as Kurumi spoke about Treyen and Simon, and underneath all of that external facade, Adam. The Gryffindor Prefect did make a point to a degree about feelings. They had no basis for logic. They were just being. A part of self that was innate in every person. And they stunk. Why couldn't people just control their feelings like they controlled the weather with their magic? Life would be much easier if life worked that way.
"Well..." Selina started this sentence very sensitively,
"maybe the reason why that that is the case is because he has Ellie..." She felt awful saying it, but it was true. Treyen was over it because he had some other girl whose feelings he cared more about, which was awful of him. She smiled weakly at Kurumi and said,
"Beater bat option is still on the table by the way. I'm sure quite a few people would love to help too."
A piggy back ride? Late night chats alone in the Common Room? Scandal! Selina poked fun a little at her friend and said,
"Eh gasp! The scandal, Kurumi! What would your father think?" Sounds to me like you both like each other. That simple statement made Selina blush for unknown reason. This whole situation made Selina blush every time she thought about it and she had no idea why. Boys-- especially curly haired, green eyed ones-- confused Selina to no end. Why did he/they have to complicate things for Selina. She was contented to just ignore everything that had occurred, but she had a feeling that neither Gideon nor Kurumi would let her.
"I-I don't think that's true," Selina blushed. Why was she blushing? Selina Arden Skylar rarely blushed. It was not something she did easily. That and concede defeat,
"We are just... well I don't know what we are." At the mention of Connor, Selina rolled her eyes,
"And that was just weird. Let's all agree to that."
