".......why would anyone laugh about Christmas cards?" It was nice to give Christmas cards, even if he wasn't so thoughtful to do it himself, and his confusion was apparent.
And he simply shrugged to her response about hormones. It was a fact of life and he couldn't help it any more than she or anyone else could. But he wasn't really prepared for the questions that followed. "Uh..." he hesitated. "Yeah. I have." He couldn't say he thought about kissing all the time though, even if it remained a somewhat persistent thought. But... he wasn't so sure he wanted to talk about this right now.
Oh. That was why those girls were laughing. "That's kind of dumb." Really, why did girls act so weird like that? "That's really silly for them to just assume that. Of course you're allowed to give cards to friends. Do you want me to straighten them out?" Because he would. He wasn't about to allow someone to make his sister feel bad about herself. "Maybe they're jealous that you're friends with him.... wait, who do you have a crush on?" Because he didn't quite miss that in her verbal stream.
Seeeeeeeeee!!
Even her brother thought it was crazy, which always meant she was right and the others were wrong. Her brother was always the person to help her know these things.
"Exactly! I just want to be nice and make people happy, why is that so bad?" She huffed a bit and leaned against the wall, not coming out anytime soon.
Her leaning didn't get to last very long because, HER BROTHER... KISSING.... WHAT? There was a long gasp and a dramatic hand to the chest,
"Wait.. hold on, you think about kissing or you have kissed someone? Gunnar McCarthy what have you not been telling me?" He was her big brother she had a right to be nosy and in his business, it was her job! Come on boy, start talking.
"You would do that for me?" That was a silly question though because of course, he would, she knew that.
"No, honestly I'll be alright, I just don't want to see them right now." She'd wait until they were fully gone or stay in here for the rest of the year not to face them again. She could be friends with the spiders.
Ooh, now it was her time to blush and look away,
"No... no one, I have no crush on anyone, nope, nope, not me." She wasn't going to tell her brother he was a mistletoe screweruper.
