Gospel. GOSPEL, Neptune Bott.
He crossed his arms over his chest too when she moved to stand in front of him, his jaw set. It was weird. Noticing, after not having her nearby for long enough that it was obvious, she seemed shorter. Actually it was just that he'd found another inch since the last time they'd... talked.
"Its your fault, everything I said." Cam had been.... teasing him and... well obviously it wasn't like Neptune had ever given any indication that she wanted people to KNOW about stuff, and maybe a big part of his denial to Cam had been an attempt to deny things to himself because who in their right mind would want to acknowledge maybe liking someone a bit more than you'd prefer, when that person used you and didn't want others to know about you and generally made no indication that an unwanted feeling like that was gonna be returned?
He clamped his jaw shut again and blinked furiously.
Something. In. His. Eye.
Neptune dropped her eyes to her toes. She DID know that Finny was Jim's best friend, but.... for all SHE knew - since they NEVER TALKED EVER - it had changed. Girls changed friends ALL the time... "According to YOU, EVERYTHING is my fault. Forget the fact that you never asked me to be your girlfriend. Yet somehow I'm the one to blame for not claiming you. You didn't WANT me then, like you don't want me NOW, and you're all guilty and just want to blame me."
Something like that. Sounded good, right? Sure didn't FEEL good though...
Neptune STARED at him and this eye thing. If he was going to cry, she'd just...die. Die. Or walk away? THEN DIE for sure. She'd not let him SEE her die. Good plan. |
