Rules of Conversation
By MidnightzStorm
Note: This is a response Evilevergreen's Ten Drabbles in Ten Days challenge. And since all the cool kids were doing it (actually just dx/t, but she cool enough) I had to do it myself. This is going to be a series of conversation between characters who don't usually talk, kind of like my Blonde Conversation piece.

What?
Trixie Carter always had something to say about anything and everything. However when she ran into Rose in the school bathroom, she had no idea how to greet the girl. What could she say to her best friend's ex-girlfriend who had tried to kill him for year, but now was risking her neck as a double agent for their side? She knew she had to say something, she couldn't pretend that she didn't exist.
"How ya been?" Trixie asked politely deciding to stick to the basics.
"Okay," she said sweetly, but then frowned, "Actually, I'm miserable. I know when someone asks how you are; they just want to hear you are fine; they don't want to know how you actually are. But I can't tell anyone that I'm miserable because then I would have to explain why I am, but I can't, but you already know, so I can tell you. I'm sorry for that babble, I babble sometimes." When Rose finally ended she took a deep breath.
"Its okay," Trixie told her, surprised at the confession, "Jake isn't doing that well with the breakup either."
"Oh," said Rose softly, "Breaking up with him was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I never wanted to break his heart, but I wanted him to stay alive."
"You and me both girl," Trixie said looking at her own sober expression in the mirror.
