Maybe he should have changed things up. The wording. He should have added the finesse stuff in there. Though what that would have sounded like he had no idea. He was so out of his element, and not only that, but out of his league.

He couldn't bear to watch Maggie much longer, but he found he couldn't look away. Instead he watched her in stages. Her eyes, her lips, her nose... which twitched. What did that mean? Or was she smelling something? He couldn't be sure about any of it, and it was slowly driving him crazy.

...

So.

The 'so' sounded promising, until there was another question attached to it. Another TWO questions in fact.

Shuffling closer to her along the grass, Zeke considered this for a moment. Those were BIG questions.

The first was easiest, he thought. "Because I want you to know." Simple as that. He WANTED to tell her, though he didn't know that until moments ago. He didn't really know much of anything until today it seemed. As for to what end? "I... well," BIG question. "We could...." snog? hang out? spend time together? that stuff? that stuff could be cool.

What were the words he was looking for?

The look on his face said that he needed help, but he wasn't sure she'd rescue him from this one, if anything she might draw out his discomfort some more. Doing the only thing he could think of to get his point across, he took her hand that was running over the grass before saying the only words that would form into a sentence properly, "Be my girlfriend?"


No, she wasn't saying it back because frankly Maggie didn't know how she felt.

So first he had to answer those two questions. Because right now she was just really confused. By everything. But especially by how he had just managed to MAKE her feel confused. That was the most confusing part. And she didn't know what it meant or what she was supposed to think about all this. So she waited for him to clarify some things. Most importantly, there was the whole liking and LIKING thing. Maybe he could explain which one he meant.

Him moving closer was a start, she supposed.

The first answer earned him a look but that was all. He wanted her to know. Yes. That was why he'd told her. Okay, touché. It HAD answered her question technically but it was obvious that that wasn't what she wanted to know. The reason people told other people things was always because they wanted them to know. That went without saying. So her eyes were back on the grass in front of her. He was going to have to do better than that.

They could...? Maggie waited, almost expecting another unfinished sentence. Really? Did she have to help him use his mouth to form words too? He must have had a reason to say that right now so why couldn't he just come right out and say that? It really wasn't that hard, was it? Did he mean it as an apology? Was he trying to be friends? What? What?

...wait, WHAT?

So, not friends, apparently. At this Maggie looked back up and gave him a surprised look. "What?" That had not.....been.........was not......WHAT????? Her gaze flicked down to his hand on hers for a second before it locked on his eyes again. What? Saying it again wouldn't really make this any more clear, was it? So she only said it in her head. What?

....

The first reaction that came to her mind was to laugh, say no, laugh some more then go and hide in her dorm for a few days and hope it would all be back to normal after. Somehow she simply remained seated where she was though, no laughing either. As for the saying no, however... "You really hurt me, you know." Maggie finally replied, eyes on their hands again. Yes, she knew he knew but it was relevant to her reply. He'd betrayed her trust. Big time.

"So, how about you can take me to Hogsmeade next time?" Pause. "We can, like, talk and stuff." She looked back up, a small smirk on her lips. "Deal?" They were good at negotiating, right?
