.."N-not really.." Okay, she was denying it. She was hurt by what he did and the reasons he gave afterwards. Yet she wasn't going to admit that...not to him. Beezus knew very well that she had hurt him too by agreeing to go with his best friend. But, for her, it was just too shallow to use that reason so he'd kiss Ariana and get back at Rich. It was just irrational.

"..enjoyed snogging her, huh?" she uttered, trying to sounds casual. She didn't want to give a cent about how they were going to end up.

If it was possible to jump right out of that mess, Beezus would have done so. Being helpless, having weird feelings that she couldn't explain, the Ravenclaw just didn't want any of those.

I miss you.

However, as he said those words, Beezus' power over her own body had wavered that her knees began to shake slightly, and her hand losing grip of her books, fell on the floor with a loud thud, one after the other. Gulp. Gulp. She should've picked the books right away but she stayed standing, her now book-free hand quickly moving to grasp the sapphire pendant dangling from the necklace around her neck, she needed some kind of support. Why did he miss her? "Y-you do? ...why?"
