Likely story. LIKE BUNZ WAS GONNA BELIEVE THAT. Psh. Scaredy child.
She turned away abruptly from Jake at his last answer, however, and strode back to her desk and the flitterbloom. "Just because I gave up on you and your welfare after The Catnapping...." Bunbury shook her head and started cleaning up the soil and pots, clearly avoiding eye contact.
"Don't try assuming things about me again, Upstead. Just don't. You have no idea."
Refraining from saying the answer he most wanted to say (
Youuuu) Jake shrugged his shoulders, wincing painfully since he was still pretty bruised. "Dunno."
As Bunbury stepped away, Jake stepped forwards again, watching her closely. "Professor," he said quietly, hoping he wasn't pushing his luck or anything. "I... I duh-didn't... I swear... Gingersnapple... huh-he followed me... I luh-love that cat... not as much as yuh-yuh-you... I ssswear... I never meant..."
Jake paused, looking down at his feet. "Cuh-cuh-can you please eh-ehh-explain... Whuh-why won't yuh-you believe m-me...?"
And then, extremely sincerely, he looked up again. "I'm so sorry."
