In Ruins

Lola's POV

My ruin started about an hour ago. I was heading over to my new crush's quarters, also known as Bash's quarters. He is quite the charmer and I craved to see his boyish smile this morning. I was walking when I ran into Mary. She had a sly smile on her face, one that only I can recognize. It was the smile that she wore when she stole any of my boyfriends or guys I pursue. When we were 5, I fell in love with a boy named George; we used to play in the grass all day. Whenever George found a flower he would pick it up and gracefully place it in my hair. One day, Mary picked up a flower from our sacred field and placed it on George's head. When he didn't react Mary kissed him. That obviously let out a reaction from him. One that Mary loved, and I, not so much. I didn't want to be pessimistic and expect the worst so I ignored the smug look on her face.

"Hi Mary! Fancy running into you here!"

"Oh yes, hi Lola! Just coming back from Sebastian's. He's quite the charmer." Then my face fell.

"Oh Lola! I was only joking! I actually do sort of like him, but you had him first. Also it wouldn't be right, not only for Scotland, but for me. I'm still pining after Francis. You may want to let him know that you know though. Enjoy!"

"Um… ok" I said and decided to let it go and go be with the newest person I loved.
