"It was very wrong of Barry to kiss you, and to burden you with his feelings, while you were with someone else. I know sometimes we have these things inside that we feel so deeply we can't imagine not sharing them... but that's selfish, don't you think? He didn't have to tell you that and make you all worried." Copernicus considered her story again. "Who is... Him?"
Sneezing again until her eyes started to water Cela leaned against the wall and smiled brightly up at Copernicus, "I know, and if he hadn't come to see me with that poem and stuff he wouldn't be my boyfriend right now." Cela blushed a bit. The whole thing was still so strange. "I think I'll just
lean for a while." she decided, pressing her face against the cool stone of the wall. Felt nice.
"It was scary." Cela agreed, her eyelashes fluttering closed, "but if I
like liked him back then it wouldn't have been so bad. But he's my
friend. Should I pretend like nothing happened or something like that? Why does he want me to
think about it anyway? And what am I supposed to think about?" Cela lifted one hand to tug at her hair ribbon, "Do you think thats why he buys me things? He got me an Owl and a Pygmy Puff for my last two birthdays."
Cela sneezed again and pushed herself off the wall in excitement, swaying the tiniest bit, "Oh, Him!" Cela reached down her shirt with an expression of concentration before pulling her hand up and thrusting it at Copernicus, "Him is my scorpion." She happily explained between sneezes.
