She didn't feel like much of a force, not at the moment anyway. As for Cardigan seeing 'head girl' in Ella's future, it earned the girl the smallest of smiles though the movement could have looked like a mere quiver of Ella's lips. "I guess I get what you're saying..." Only it still made her feel bad in some small way, though she couldn't really explain why. "But you guys should know that I-I would never use whatever 'force'" She used finger quotes around the word. "that I have against you."
When Ella finished talking, she noted that Cardigan didn't seem comforted by her words. She looked at the girl curiously, studying her facial expression. Oh Merlin, she was the one that wasn't talking to Logan, yeah? Because she-she-"You still like him?" It was meant to be a question but came out sounding like a statement. Ella didn't really need to hear the answer, it was clear enough to see. "Well I don't know where that leaves us, then." She said with a shrug, growing more tired as they continued to try and sort things out. It was pretty exhausting. "I guess I just don't want to have to avoid you." She stated simply after a moment, looking down at her hands.
......
"No!" Cardigan said, a little to loud. 'Cause, she didn't, and she didn't want to be suspected of anything. She had learned the hard way that wa just not the right thing to do. Besides, the second year liked someone else, whoever that was... So maybe she liked more than one person. Good. Likr a normal 12 year old. Just what she wants to be. AND, what she wasn't. Not yet, at least.
"That's not what...," Cardigan said quietly, having the same uneasy expression. She didn't want to tell Ella yet. The best thing to do would be to wait and tell Ella and Logan together, after school, at the end of the summer. Did the Snake wanna ruin any summers? No! She wasn't THAT bad. Nope. Nada. Not at all. Zero. Zilch. If she was not to ruin any summers, or years for that matter, spill she would not! Yes yes.
