I nodded faintly, looking back to the ground, thinking that maybe I should leave. And I think that I would if it wasn't for the fact of what I would be going home to.
I hae to admit that I'm slightly surprised by how her answer affected me. I kind of thought that it wasn't a big deal when I first mentioned it, but I guess it was wrong, because I was feeling quite rejected right now. This just really wasn't my day.

I glance over at him briefly, entertaining the possibility that maybe he's serious, that maybe he really feels that way. It's not as if he needs any more hurt in his day.
But I think it's for the best, if it's not real, to not encourage it at all.
And I'm not sure I can be hurt more either.

"Um.. Maybe I should head back home.." I said quietly after a little while longer, glancing to her for a few moments from my spot on the floor. All that was going on now was silence and me standing here feeling awfully stupid for saying a thing about it. I think it was pretty obvious that she didn't have the feelings for me back, like I have for her.. so I really don't know why I said a thing in the first place. Maybe just because there was that small chance that maybe she did.
I didn't much want to head home at all, but I just didn't know what to do at this point.

Dammit.
"You don't have to," I say quickly, looking up. "We just need to change the subject or something. I don't want you to feel like you have to leave."

I thought about it for a moment, keeping my eyes on the floor. After a breif moment, I nodded faintly at what she said, biting my lip a little bit. "Okay.. If you're sure.." I said quietly, before walking over to where I was standing before and leaning against the counter next to Arden.

"Pretty sure," I nod, smiling faintly. "What about you? I mean... you can leave, if you want to."

I nodded slightly, smiling a little bit back to her. "No, I'll stay... I didn't really want to go back to my parents anyway.. rather be here.." I told her smiling a little bit over to her.

"All right...." I smile slightly again. "So... a change of subject then?"

I smiled slightly and shrugged. "Yeah... Something else.." I thoguth about it for a moment, folding my arms infront of my chest. ".. Any ideas?"

"Not really...." I laugh slightly, shaking my head, then looking around the kitchen for some sort of an idea. There's not a whole lot in here though... just the countertop and cupboards, fridge and sink and table. It barely even looks like someone lives here, except for the multicolored alphabet magnets on the fridge, with two of them holding a piece of scrap paper for notes and a couple of others holding a picture of Micheal and Isobel.

I nodded faintly with small chuckle. "Yeah, I can't really think of anything either.." I said smiling a little bit with a faint shrug, glancing over to her as she looked around her own kitchen. Still too busy thinking about what I told you...

Well, there's got to be something, I think, biting my lip. Hm... I don't know... how about, 'sorry that I lied, but I'd really like to kiss you at the moment.'
I shake my head quickly, dismissing that. Wouldn't be right.

I looked over to her, seeing her shaking her head. "What?" I asked her with a small chuckle, wondering what she was shaking her head at. I didn't think that I said anything that should be objected to. Maybe she thought of something and then decided not to say it? But whoknows, maybe it was actually something we could talk about.

"Nothing...." I smile again slightly so he won't press further. "Just... ridiculous thoughts."

I shrugged a little bit, "Alright.." I said, biting my lip slightly for a moment. "They can't be that ridulous though.." I said looking over to her, thinking about nudging her arm, but deciding against it for the time.

"Sure they can," I shrug, swaying slightly so that my arm bumps his. "For all that you're aware, I was thinking about a herd of pink hippos doing ballet on the counter."

I laughed a little bit, smiling lightly for a few moments when she bumps my arm, now thinking that maybe I should've just bumped hers in the first place. "Okay... So that would be pretty ridictulous." I smiled lightly to her.

"So there you go then," I nod virtuously, then smile again slightly. "You really oughtta know by now not to argue with me."

I laughed a little bit, smiling slightly, "But I love arguing with you.." I said with a small smile over to her.

"Because you're some strange sort of masochist who likes to be wrong?" I ask, raising my eyebrows but smiling slightly.

I tsk very softly under my breath, shaking my head. "That probably isn't very good for your health."

I shook my head slightly, smiling faintly still, "Yeah, probably not.. but what can you do?"

"Change the way you are," I shrug. "Obviously."

I chuckled slightly, still smiling lightly as I put my hands back in my pockets instead of keeping them folded infront of my chest. "I am perfectly content with the way I am.. but you're always right, so maybe I should listen to you." I told her smiling over to her for a moment as I bumped her arm lightly with mine.

"But of course you should," I agree, smiling lightly over at him. "It's good for your health."

I laughed a little and nodded with a faint smile. "Then I guess I have no choice.. What should I do first oh wise one?" I asked chuckling softly.

"Oh, i don't know," I shrug, laughing slightly. "Maybe, since we're being so childish, you should admit that nonexistent monkeys aren't real?"
Which reminds me... I guess you were right about the falling in love one, at least.

I grinned softly at what she said and laughed some, ".. Fine, they're not real." I told her looking over to her, shaking my head slightly. "I've just been lying to you for ten years.." I added, chuckling a little bit, joking around with her.
I obviously still believed - knew - that they existed, but right now I figured, why not?

I break out into an actual grin at this, shaking my head and laughing slightly again. "I know you'll take that back in a couple of minutes, but thank you."
