Scourge of the Frankenrival:
So they're just pretending nothing happened now?
Apparently so, because he hasn't spoken to her all day. Which, normally, would be taken as a sign of something, but considering he never talked to her much before…
Nothing.
She can see him talking on his phone over by the food. Well, fine then, if that's the way he wants to do it, that's just peachy by her. She can play it cool, too. She wants another bun, anyways.
"Hey, Squib," she says in a tone so casual it makes her proud.
"You seen Sebastien?" He asks. And she can't help but be a little hurt because, come on, she knows they said the kiss meant nothing, but it can't have meant nothing. Not even a little awkwardness? Looking a floor? A stutter; one stutter, and she'll be satisfied.
Still Nothing.
"Nope."
"It's so unfair," unfair? You wanna know about unfair? I kissed you! Show some emotion! Am I honestly that revolting? "He gets to take off whenever he wants just because his old man's some millionaire." Cody simply glances away, opting not to lie to him unless push comes to shove. "You know something I don't?" And apparently, it has.
"Define something?" She'd still rather not lie to him, even if he is being a jerk without realizing it. Or maybe, he does! Maybe he's doing this all on purpose just to mess with her mind! She wouldn't put it past him…
"Special circumstances, for example?" He cuts off her inner rant of paranoia. Well, she can't tell him, that's for sure. But until she knows if he's being a jerk on purpose or by accident, she can't lie to him, either.
"I haven't heard anything…" technically, it's true. She hasn't heard anything lately…
"Come on, first the guy shafts me in class, and now he's disappeared off the face of the earth? You have to tell me what you know. Please Cody?" So he picks today of all days to put his well-hidden logic into use and be charming? God must hate her. She has to admit, though, there's a brief, tiny, miniscule moment when he looks at her with his puppy dog eyes and she considers the fact that maybe it did mean something to him. Maybe he's acting, just like her. Maybe she should tell him. Of course, logic and loyalty prevail. Sebastien is one of her best friends, and she will keep his secret.
"I can't," is all she says to him. She turns away, heading back to her table where she knows she'll just spend more time trying to analyze Squib's psyche. And more particularly, that stupid kiss. That stupid kiss that she is starting to regret…oh, who is she kidding? Although if he'd just stop, consciously or otherwise, playing her hot and cold (well, more like just cold at the moment…), her life would be a whole lot easier.
Boys are complicated, she decides. She needs a hobby…
This one's kinda just okay, but I didn't have a lot to go with. They went from a whole episode together to one stupid scene. Which, may I add, contains no awkwardness or mention of the kiss whatsoever, which I always found both odd and frustrating. So I decided that maybe they were awkward and panicking, just on the inside. Hopefully, it was believable. Read, review, enjoy!
