Marie happily followed along with Carter as they went to the dungeons. This was the first chance they had to be alone since they had been on the train. They finally made it to the dungeon corridor after walking silently from the Great Hall when out of the blue Carter announced that he wanted to be her boyfriend. Stopping suddenly she looked up at him, "Really?" she asked feeling like the luckiest girl in the world. Until she heard his next comment.

But I think we should wait a little while.

What!?

All happiness left her face when he said that. She didn't want to wait any longer. She already felt like she had been waiting forever to hear him say he wanted to be her boyfriend. Besides, she broke up with Evan at the beginning of the summer, just exactly how long was she suppose to wait before she moved on with her life? "But I don't care what anyone says about me. I only care about what you think." Okay, maybe she cared a little what others thought, but not enough to keep her from wanting to be Carter's girlfriend right now. "You are the kind of boyfriend I want to talk about to my friends. What makes you think you wouldn't be?" She just stood there feeling pretty numb right now. Her happy night was starting to turn out to be her worst night. She really had no clue how she would be able to be with him every day knowing that he didn't want to be her boyfriend now because of what others thought. It was almost like deja-vu. When she was with Evan he didn't want anyone to know because he was worried about what others would think of him since he wasn't with Fallon anymore. Now Carter doesn't want to be her boyfriend now because he is worried about what others will think since she wasn't with Evan anymore.

This just wasn't fair. When was it going to be her turn to decide what was right for her?
