Will she allow it?" Madelyn was never one to be bitter or mean, but she had emotionally dealt with lots this term when it came to boys and relationships. "Yeah I get it, we were young. I broke up with you because you were leaving and we were thirteen. We weren't going to be able to see each other, talk, just owls. It was too sad to think about." It had been sad at the time and now it was just silly really. They were young and dumb.
She crossed her arms and stayed standing. "I don't care that you got a girlfriend, but I do care that once you did I was old news. That I wasn't even good enough to say hi to." She had felt hurt by that and she was happy to get it off her chest. She stood quietly her stern look failing to be anything but stern. "I missed you, you know. I mean not dating, but just friends.
You never did try to write. I know I broke up with you, but you could have at least tried if you liked me that much, but I didn't even get one owl." That bothered her more than anything.
Brent sighed at the sound of her first comment. He should have known this wouldn't be easy. It wasn't her fault, though. He didn't think it was
his fault either, but he knew she had every right to feel the way she did. "I really did want to be your friend, but...I'll be honest with you. I just didn't know how to," he admitted.
"I mean, you're the girl I moped around about all summer a few years ago. You're the girl I hated this move to Hogwarts over." He sighed again.
"There were a lot of feelings that came back to me when I saw you here. I apologize about how it all played out. I really do."
...and as for Skylar?
"I can't say for sure, but I think Skylar will be okay with us being friends. I'm sure she trusts me, especially after that last IMPS challenge," he answered.
"So if it's okay with you, I'd like to owl you after you leave to go back home. I don't think I'd ever be cool with never knowing again whatever happened to that cool girl Madelyn Cunningham." He gave her a friendly smile. The quaffle was in her court now.
