He didn't have much time to remember how it was to smile anyway, as she offered him THAT, the f-word thing.
It really happened in slow-motion: she produced the object, his eyes grew to the size of the moon, he gasped, took one half step backwards, his face got its best/worst scared look. Then, the time started to run FASTER to catch up with the time it lost in slow motion: he started to scratch EVERYWHERE crazily.
In fast-forward.
He could do without seeing this girl EVER AGAIN.
See when someone gives someone a chocolate frog or any kind of candy, it usually indicates good intentions. In Cassia's rule book at least. Unless the person didn't like candy? Which was not usual. But the snake knew that those people existed. Like for example one of her besties, Blue, opposed to eat chocolate frogs. She wanted to free them and all.
As the boy started scratching and took a couple of steps backwards, Cassia pocketed the frog and just STARED at the boy. She had a theory about badgers you know. Part of it that they were weird. Yes. She was proven right. "
Are you....... okay?" She finally asked finding her voice. He obviously wasn't.
This kid was weird.
A lot.
How do you deal with weird people?
