Soooo romantic.
Fern sighed again, and she opened her mouth to tell Forrest just how wonderful it would be when he said that name, Cutty, and made Fern so angry she wanted to SCREAM.
Which she did. Jumping to her feet with a shriek, Fern stomped her foot and shouted, "CUTHBERT!? CUTHBERT IS THE MOST AWFUL BOY EVER! AND-" Then two things dawned on the 11-year-old. First, that Cuthbert had been talking about her behind her back! HOW DARE HE BE TALKING ABOUT HER WHEN SHE WASN'T THERE!? And second, and even more importantly, that FORREST HAD BEEN TALKING BEHIND FERN'S BACK WITH CUTHBERT!
Fern couldn't believe it. First Forrest was "too cool" to do facials with her on his birthday. Then he started hanging out with Tora, and he began plotting to end Ella and Alec's true love. AND NOW he was HANGING OUT WITH CUTHBERT!?
"FORREST CHARLETON, YOU ARE DEAD TO ME!" She cried, and she scrambled into the common room, determined to never speak to him again. Even - EVEN! - if he and Bristol finally got together. Fern didn't want to hear about it.
Forrest JUMPED upon hearing the shrill voice and forgot all about Ella for a moment. He stared at her with big eyes and an open mouth. He even leaned back unconsciously to put more space between his precious body and her angry one. She scared him. He would never admit it to anyone, but she DID scare him and currently--
"WHAT!"
He shot to his feet but she was already gone.
"FINE. HAVE FUN ALONE, LOSER!"
Yeah, LOSER. It was one of her jealousy fits--he was pretty accostumed to them--but he wasn't going to talk to her this time EVER AGAIN even if--even if it would cost him a future with Ella. SHE was dead to HIM, and he was going to make sure she just LOST all her friends!
Breathing there furiously for a minute, he cursed under his breath--he didn't know what it meant but it looked cool on his brother--he turned around and decided to head to the Quidditch Pitch with high hopes of seeing Ella.
