Too much time with yourself and only one other people time let thoughts run rampant. Her thoughts were like wild tigers waiting for her to slow to attack and envelope her in them once more. Too much time for idle hands. Or in this case thoughts. She closed her eyes for a moment. It was nice to have someone to talk to. Veronica had always spent time with her. They even had a hide out. She missed her and felt alone. Yet maybe it wouldn't be that way soon. She opened her eyes back up. Either way she was going to be stronger than this. The thoughts and feelings wouldn't get the best of her. She wouldn't let them.<br/><br/>At first her mind never even registered his very small step back. Might have been because it really in all honesty wasn't that big of a step. Yet she probably also didn't care. While his closeness made her wary it also made the feeling of loneliness flee even if just for the moment. It took a moment but she soon realized while close he had moved maybe an inch back.<br/><br/>She didn't say anything just waited for the inevitable yes or no to the important, to her, question that she asked. His answer was good but not what she expected. A simple yes or no but instead he answered with such sweet words she almost wanted to cry. How come he kept saying such things. Honor of her friendship? It wasn't like she was royalty or something. She expected him to be like all cool good looking guys but at the same time wanted him to be different. His words made her flush faintly. Yet the compliment he ended it with made her get a rosy hue from head to toe.<br/><br/>Why did he keep saying things he couldn't possibly mean? "I don't know what a dullard is..." She said. "Though the words you say are sweet nonetheless. I don't think anything really of a guy I just met. Other than that you cause me so much confusion just from the words that you speak." Not to mention the fact you keep getting close to me. Those words went unsaid. "You've said more compliments to me in one day then I've heard since I was a little girl on my dads knee." Her words coming out in a shy stammer a bit. She looked at him. "I am really happy you will be my friend and meant no offense by my doubts. I go off what has been what usually happens. Cool good looking guys don't pay attention to me or want my friendship. They usually want cheerleaders and eye candy. You are a giant mass of confusion and complexity that I'm just trying to understand why you keep saying such beautiful sweet words to someone you barely know. It doesn't make sense...not to me anyways."<br/><br/>She didn't move. Maybe if she didn't move the giant snowballing reality would stay at bay. Maybe she could just stay in this odd yet wonderful moment for a little while longer. It was getting a bit nippy as the cool breeze that picked up told her it was quite late. Shivering and wrapped her arms across her chest. The cold air making her nipples get hard beneath the soft fabric. Maybe she should go inside. She bent over and picked up her back pack. Still just watching him. "I'm glad we are friends now." She said with a warm smile.
