But then...
What?
Was that his way of letting her down easily? Probably so. When he poked her shoulder she opened her eyes and tilted her head to one side, brows furrowed, pout on her lips. "YOu... You... don't want to go on a date with me, then?" Because that was totally what it sounded like. And really, it was alright. She should probably wait patiently for Cass to realize she was more than his best friend.
Bah. Boys were so dumb sometimes.
D U M B.
She couldn't lie though, her pride was bruised by this reaction... whether she should be used to rejection by now or not. Feeling a bit... deflated, the Gryffindor suddenly stood up and smoothed down her robes. "I have to... go. Go anywhere but here. Thanks for meeting me. And thanks for apologizing."
Wait...what? What was happening? Why did she sound so upset? And WHY was she standing up?!
Definitely realising he had done something wrong again, Mason thought back quickly what had happened. Analysing the scene. And Dora's reaction confirmed to him that perhaps she had not been joking. Honestly, he could not tell with her sometimes.
Before the Gryffindor girl got to chance to walk away, the Ravenclaw quickly got up from his seated position.
"Wait! Dora, you...you were serious about that date and ...?" he felt his ears become red.
"I'm sorry, i've never been on asked on a date before and i thought you were joking..." in his defence she HAD punched him in the face and broken his nose, kinda gave off the wrong signal didn't it?
"I'm really sorry, just..i...but....." he looked around at the bookshelves. Were there books on how to deal with this? Cause he liked to read it please.
"Why me?"
