"Of course, I had already been thinking about leaving, and to be honest, it really scared me---a LOT. I knew in my heart that I didn't want to leave, but I was afraid I'd gotten myself too far into something I couldn't back out of. I was a little nervous to tell my father that all his hard work to get me transferred was all for nothin, but as it turns out, he was just really glad I decided to stay and didn't really care what it had cost him in the longrun."
When Cale rested his forehead on his knees, Anna scooted closer to him and put her arm around him. "The only reason I was holding his hand is because I was honestly, literally falling apart at that moment. I wasn't too sure that I couldn't even stand up without getting dizzy and falling over," Anna explained. "That was the day after our break-up, and my whole world had spun out of control." When Cale didn't automatically look up or say anything else, Anna continued talking. "We don't have to fight anywhere. Neither of us want to, and it's not neccesary at all," she reassured.
"You don't have to worry about having to leave to get home-schooled," she reassured. "I hate to break it to you, but you're stuck with me now, babe. I'm here to stay...well, until graduation that is."
Cale put his arm around her as well, smiling softly at her. It felt nice to be close to her again, and to be holding her in his arms...even if it wasn't really romantic and more friendly at the moment, he liked being embranced by her.
"To be honest, my world kind of fell apart too. And to think, it was all because of some loser named Paul Kutcher?" he asked with a small chuckle.
"OH, who, by the way, is staying at my house. How ironic is that?" he asked with a grin, pushing his hair out of his face again. It was straight today, but it was starting to annoy him again. Maybe he should go back to curly for a week or two, to just change it up a bit.
"Oh, right. Graduation," he said with a sigh, leaning his head against her shoulder. Meh. He didn't want to think about that right now. He didn't want to think of school at all, especially Herbology. "Well, that's such a long way away right now, we don't have to think about that yet," he told her, smiling at her.
