Yay, updated finally! It's been a rough week with schoolwork, and this was a great way to get out my stressfulness (: Anywho, i decided to listen to a certain person called gwevinmaniac, and take her idea for the letter B being "because." It was originally going to be blackmail, but i liked because more (: Anyway, read... and review, yes?
Because
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labour.
For if either of them falls, the one will lift up her companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift her up.
Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone?
And if one can overpower her who is alone, two can't resist her. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart…
Why? Why was everything always about everyone being together in some form or another, in friendship or love? Why couldn't anything just be about something that didn't want to make her cry?
Stupid Kevin, she growled inwardly, slamming the book she was reading shut. Why hadn't he asked her out already? They had liked each other for months. MONTHS! Why was he always so tough and closed off, anyway? Thinking of this made her remember that argument they had a couple of weeks back.
Kevin was sipping his drink when he realized Gwen was glaring at him.
"Problem?" He asked, looking at her.
"Why haven't you asked me out?" She asked bluntly, folding her arms across her chest.
"What?" He was shocked.
"You heard me. We spend all of our time together and you obviously like me," She stated, getting annoyed as Kevin started choking on his drink.
"You do! I see you mooning at me when you think I'm not looking,"
"Mooning?" Kevin asked, surprised at her choice of such a ridiculous word.
"And I like you… most of the time. So I'm asking you again," Gwen was really frustrated now that he hadn't just answered her question.
"See? That's the problem. You're asking me. A guy does the asking," What a lame excuse, Gwen thought silently in her head.
"Well, when?" She pushed again, clearly wanting an answer.
"Don't push me," Kevin glared at her, just wanting her to give up. He'd ask when he was ready!
"Don't push me," Gwen repeated in a mocking tone, trying to work out some of the anger in her system as she walked off.
Annoyed by this hurtful memory, she decided to go sit on her roof, her favourite thing to do when she was upset.
Wrapping her arms around her legs, she gently rested her head on her knees. Why were boys so stupid? Kevin was the only one who was shy about admitting he liked her. Not like Cooper… or even Mike Morningstar.
Shuddering at the thought of Mike, she tried to push her mind into think of something else.
"Cold?" A voice suddenly asking, causing Gwen to gasp in surprise.
"Sorry," He apologized, sitting down next to her.
"What are you doing here Kevin?" She asked, still surprised at seeing him here.
"I was in the neighbourhood, and thought I'd just drop by," He smiled, leaving Gwen confused. Since when did he ever just think he'd "drop by"? It didn't matter though, she was just happy he was here with her.
"Ha ha," she said lamely, looking at him. "Why are you really here?"
"Well, Ben found another plumbers badge signal nearby and he decided that he wanted to check it out," Kevin explained, as Gwen felt her heart thud with sadness. He hadn't come here to see her, he'd just came by to collect her for another mission.
"Oh okay, let's go then, wouldn't want to keep Ben waiting," She half smiled, attempting to get up before Kevin grabbed her arm.
"Wait Gwen, you don't look very happy," He said slowly, staring her straight in the eye.
"It's okay, I'm fine," She lied, giving him her most convincing smile.
"Then why are you looking so upset?" He asked confusedly.
"Because."
