But she felt like she owed Thalia an explanation: "Thalia, listen... I met Art just before I met Patrick. I told him about Art, so he knew right from the beginning. Now..." Now what? She liked Patrick, she missed him and he was far, far away. And she liked the popular Art, a slytherin who happened to be very close. "Now..." Ryan repeat, lacking better words to continue her line of thoughts. "Now your cousin is far away, he is not coming back and I am here. That's it. I guess."
"You have a boyfriend? Naughty Thalia." she commented, sticking her tongue out. She was in need to act childish, after behaving like a grown up all through her adolescence. "So, who is he?" she asked, very, very curious.
Thalia understood. "
He would want what's best for you Ry," she assured her. "
I say go for Art. I mean, sure Patrick's still there but then again he isn't. Like you said he's far, far away," Thalia repeated. She hadn't gotten herself mixed between two guys like Ryan did. She had decided one was a player, the other wouldn't dream of kissing her, and the last had beat the other two to it. "
He's gone Ryan. And not coming back." It was the simple truth.
Thalia blushed. She chuckled when Ryan stuck her tongue out at her. "
Yes, I do. He's a Ravenclaw fourth year. His name is Jude Harrison and he kissed me!" Thalia blurted out before she could stop herself. Her hand flew over her mouth.
