 ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls
No, but... Katherine had kind of failed at that too, hadn't she? She'd promised him that she'd help him, but... even though her mother had decided that he was a lost cause, and that she shouldn't talk to him ever again. Maybe she should listen to her mother...
Why was he grinning at her? And - yes, he was her friend now, but who else? David, maybe, but other than these two boys, she had no girl friends. Not that she needed any, she was Katherine Moss and she could do anything she wanted without any help, but...
She considered his words for a moment. "They are all that Haddie's friends," she said, "and Haddie's a troublemaker, so I should actually stay away from them." When she pronounced the other Ravenclaw's name, her face took an expression of hatred and disapproval (and jealousy for the veeeeeeeeeeery observant eye). "Besides, I know everything and people don't like to be corrected." So there was a lot not to - but, whatever. It didn't matter. She was better on her own, friends were only a distraction. This way, she didn't need to spend time at stupid pyjama parties or whatever; nor did she have to discuss stupid relationships or swoooooooon (ew) at boys.
"Forget that I've said anything," she said abruptly, "I'm fine. I just need the summer vacation." Yeah, next term, she was going to follow her mother's orders to a T. Starting with futile friendships.
