How was studying going? Such an interesting question from Genny. He bobbed his head to the side, "Not bad. But I'm more interested in why you're up here on the rooftop looking all melancholy." After all, Genny really wasn't the greatest at small talk, and small talk bored Sam as it was.
See, Genny didn't mind jokes. Jokes made her laugh when the person telling them showed that he was telling a joke, which was opposed to how Sam told jokes. All poker faced and sarcastic. She wanted to take out her misery on him right here and there and just shove him a little for indirectly, possibly making fun of her comment.

She didn't, though. Because people said she was becoming more and more moody and explosive. She was proving them wrong here, in addition to keeping Sam on her side. If you want to ask someone to do what she was going to ask him to do, you'd want them to be on your GOOD side.

Melancholy? "I am not being melancholy," she couldn't help imitate him a bit there. "I am simply having a tough day and so I thought we could talk about something neutral. Like study." Oh what the hell, who was she kidding. "Okay fine, I want to ask you something!" She blurted out before he had a chance to say anything, and she abandoned her post by the ledge to completely face him. "I know it's weird and not at all what I had in mind and it's a little selfish but it's the only way. It's been building too much pressure on me, and I keep losing points so people don't even like me much around here, and seeing that we're trapped in the castle, there really isn't any other way. Everyone in our year has done it, I'm tired of hiding under the blanket when the girls in the dorm are talking about it while I just nod and pretend to care. And to top it off, all the girls whose parents know my parents are, like, the hottest in school right now and people are fighting each other to be with them." How humiliating for Genny Tate. "I just want to get it over with, but not with a random student and definitely not with a boy I hit,"--PAUSE--"On purpose, I mean." Because... the bruise on his forehead...

OKAY. Okay.

Say it. Just... say it.

Eyebrows furrowed and brown eyes looking as determined and brave as ever, she said it, "I need you to kiss me." And somehow holding her breath after the 'me' seemed like a good idea!!!
