Something that she didn't really consider entirely her fault. Not when he had tried to avoid her much of last term. She had been actually kind of surprised he had come to her house over the summer. But then, Mari had been there, and she'd invited Kayla. The two girls she knew that he liked to talk to, among other things.
She couldn't help but laugh a little as he felt the need to point out the obvious, but her amusement faded as he continued. Waiting until he finished speaking, she sighed, before speaking. She had had the feeling this was coming, and now she needed to explain herself. "Mari's my best friend. Or, one of them, considering there's still Asteira in there too. But Robert's like my surrogate brother, even though, as you said, I've known Mari longer. We just sort of clicked that way. And I'm trying to be there for Mari, but I don't want to abandon anyone else either. I didn't pick him over her, I'm trying to figure out how I can still keep connections with both of them." She paused, closing her eyes as things started getting more difficult, fighting back tears. Something told her Cayden wasn't understanding her. "What about last term? When you were trying to be with Mari, but also friends with Kayla? That had to be hard. So why can't you understand that I'm trying to be there for her, but I might be having some difficulties?" She wished Mari was here, because she had tried to warn her last term about how this could happen, and now she was being seen as the bad guy because she was stuck in the middle. And her talking to Robert at the feast hadn't been impulsive. She'd thought about it before doing it, and it was tearing herself up inside to not have people understand.
He stood there in the corridor as he hadn't moved from his spot. he was still staring at her as she started to explain herself. Very poorly if you asked him. She was not bringing kayla into this. He clinched his jaw a little as he was starting to get upset. The fact that she dragged kayla into this and then not to mention the whole kayla leaving thing. It was a mess.
"You dont have a right to talk about this.You don't even know of what your talking about." he told her after she brought up kayla in the conversation."Kayla was my friend when Mari decided not to be around me. Neither friend of yours has abandoned you." he pointed out the obvious to her." Let alone kayla knew mari was my girlfriend. She would come first in most matters. You pick and choose at the time who needs you more. Mari will need you more. He has other friends, but your the only one she has. That's it. You. I'm sure seeing as your a ravenclaw you can tell the difference between trying and actually doing so." He looked at her as he was in a bad mood. seeing as she had brought up kayla. He had missed her and it was starting to get to him more and more."You seem to have already chosen. I'm just asking that you inform her of who you prefer. So she isn't blind sided by your future decisions."
