"I'm sorry...I'm just curious...I hope you don't mind but, you seemed to be arguing with a boy a moment ago. He your boyfriend or something?" Tayla felt both shy for asking and concerned for her friend.
Even though she had been a bit upset, seeing Tayla definitely made the Ravenclaw feel better. What? She’d really missed her friend.
‘Thanks’, she replied with a grin.
‘Congrats to you too…’, she started saying, willing to add the thing about Gryffindor managing to beat Slytherin, but then heard Tayla mentioned it.
Even though Gwen realized it was something typical for all the Gryffindors- being curious, and expected Tayla to be like that too, she looked simply puzzled at her friend.
WHAT?
Her face simply dropped and Gwendolyn couldn’t help staring blankly at Tayla.
How in the world had she come to this conclusion?? ‘Nonono’, she said, still looking shocked.
‘I don’t have a boyfriend’ How could Tayla have even assumed that? Besides- Zeke wasn’t even her friend. Psh.
Anyhow- Gwendolyn felt the desperate need to change the subject, so she found herself asking, all of a sudden:
‘Do you have any plans for the summer?’. There. Perhaps she shouldn’t have changed the subject so abruptly…
