Oh. So...there wasn't any way to just "get her heart back." Figured. So she'd have to feel like this for who knew how long. "But what if there isn't a boy who is right for me?" What if no boy ever actually liked her? Then she'd just be alone forever...not that that was SO bad, of course. She was used to that. So it was probably good when Selina went on to say that she didn't need another boy to fix this for her - she could do it herself. "How do I do that though?" Or was it something she had to just wait for and nothing else?
What could she tell her that would make this better? If she was being honest with herself, there was nothing she could say to make this better. Affairs of the heart were very difficult. Especially when the injured party was too hurt to listen to reason, which was exactly what was happening with Penelope. Selina could tell her until she was blue in the face that she was wonderful and that whoever this boy was in reality was dirt, but she would not hear her really. All she would hear was what she wanted to hear and right now Penelope wanted to believe that no boy would ever like her and that she was not good enough for the boy who had hurt her heart.
What Selina KNEW was that when she eventually met this boy she was going to make him very sorry for hurting Penelope's feelings. People did not hurt her little lions' feelings. The younger students who Selina cared about were special to her and if this boy could not see why Penelope was so great he was an idiot. Seriously, what was wrong with him? She was bloody fantastic!
Dumb kid.
Oh poor Penelope. A boy would eventually see how wonderful she was, although it may not be this boy that had hurt her. So she just squeezed Penelope,
"A boy will like you, Penelope. I know you can't see it now, but there is a lot about you to like. You are a great kid and girl. This boy is just stupid." If Penelope walked away with one thing, she hoped it was this- this boy was stupid.
All Most boys were.
"You just need to see how great you are," which she was,
"Once you realize how great you are, you'll feel bad for him because he doesn't see how great you are. I mean, seriously. If this boy doesn't like you... he has AWFUL taste." Seriously.
