It's not your fault you have a cousin who knows how to grind my gears and can't mind his own business or keep his mouth shut," he said, still not looking up at Rose. But seriously, who'd want to be related to Hunter? Mikey felt bad for Rose in a way, but she liked having him as a cousin. Ehh.

"Besides, you were obviously going to take his side more; considering he's family and all," Mikey added, finally looking up at her blue eyes that were filled with water.
She hated crying. She really did. It was probably one of top five things on her 'Hate' list. Unfortunately for Hailey, though, she cried way too much for someone who hated it.

"I dunno," She said with a shrug, finally able to find a hanky in the depths of her bag. Hailey blew her nose loudly and then turned back to the conversation. She really didn't know why she was apologizing but she had to say something.
"You...you're mad at me," She said finally but glumly. Well, it was true. He left her in the library! AND he told her that he wouldn't help her with homework anymore. (Which wasn't really a threat since Mikey says that about fifty times a day). But still--he was her best friend. Since, like, forever. And so of course she didn't want to lose him.

But she noticed that the blame was now going on Hunter--and she couldn't really see how anything was his fault. Sure, he had pushed Aria into the lake (which wasn't really anything to worry about, or so Hailey thought) but really, to call him nosy and mouthy was not nice. But the Gryffie realized that she couldn't say anything if she wanted to make up. So she just nodded her head, as if she agreed with Mikey, though she didn't.

When he finally looked up at her and mentioned that she would take Hunter's side since he was family, Hailey really didn't know what to say. Was he right? Had she taken Hunter's side since he was family, if only subconsciously?
She had no idea. But she wasn't about to lose her best friend over it.

"I don't take sides," She said with a sigh, hoping that would quench it. Sure, she had sided with Hunter about Aria but that was because she didn't like Aria and not because Hunter was her cousin. Plus, it seemed Mikey was envious of Hunter at any rate, though she couldn't tell why. Maybe his good looks? But it wasn't like Mikey was ugly or anything...in fact, he was very good looking.
