The eye roll she'd been saving? She used it at that very exact moment. Constantly plagued with insensitivity, Althea just did not get it. Did he not have months to sort out his unnecessarily complex life? She didn't understand. "Live your life, do what you want." Advice she frequently gave herself. There was no point in dwelling over it - he was either going to get back together with Chloe or not. His uncertainty unnerved her for some reason.

"Please, spare me the innocent act." Leave it to a boy to want to make himself appear less popular than he actually was. Not that it really mattered (it did,) but having multiple girls trapezing in and out of his life would probably do him more good than he thought. In fact, she definitely encouraged it. "You might as well get a good running list going." Because "friends" encouraged and supported their "friends" because that's what "friendship" was all about. Right? Right. She caught herself looking at him a little too long so she quickly turned her face and moved around in the water. "Good. I hope I don't have to repeat myself," she had a feeling that she might, sometime in the near future.
