Much like Cassia was minding hers and drinking water--expected after lugging both their trunks out of the train in the crowd. Of course she was prepared to enjoy said silence but Cassia broke it.

"Why can't you leave it at loud and shocking?" She asked, suppressing a sigh. They were doing so well just now. "Loud...loud was Aidan practically yelling so the entire compartment could hear. Shocking was the things he yelled like a mention of a certain letter and stuff on said letter and eh and just a really awful time andnowhehatesme." The last bit was rushed. It was the worst truth all day.
Lex made a face at her eager friend.
"Don't look so excited. If I could have gotten off the train then and there I would have. There's no way I'd write a whole letter full of feelings." Ick and EW. "But he said I did and now anyone who heard will think so too." More icking and ewing and CRINGING.
She really was hoping that Lex wouldn't insist on not telling since the snake was really drained and she could barely move. And she really wanted to know VERY badly. She tried not to look as tired as she was so Lex wouldn't take advantage of that. Cue why Cassia pushed up a bit and propped an elbow to the seat's arm. Totally, relaxed and could carry a bunch of other trunks.
Did it work?
And she was talking! Woot!
Cassia listened making sure not to let any emotion show on her face. She needed to hear this out and know everything then and only then would she say what she should say. Which she wasn't very good at!
Although internally, Cassia was only thinking of a way to sneak inside the fourth-year's dorms in the Ravenclaw's common room. She might want to drop a gift there for the boy. How dare he speak of the letters aloud?! He should have totally swallowed up his feelings, reactions and opinions. Who cared about them anyway? Yeah? Oh, probably Lex did. But like, he should have stuck to the script and NOT said it aloud. Everyone knew that rule.
He had a locker, too, right? Juuust gathering info here.
"
He can say WHATEVER he wants," She said sitting up straight too enthusiastically. Bad move. Don't make a big deal of it or Lex would feel worse. Stupid, Cassia.
She tried again with a shruuuuug. "
He just wants to pretend that he received one,"
which he kinda did Pffffffft. Dreamer boy. Telling the truth and breaking girl's hearts. This needed to be stopped.
And now he hates her? What was Alexa Cambridge saying?
"
Why would he? And who cares, Lex?" NO ONE! RIGHT! "
Listen, it's nothing, ignore it. Leave it behind you. It's history, now!" And they were kinda doing so by approaching the castle and getting away from the train. Geddit?
