“Right" She bit her lower lip, mentally kicking herself in the butt for not remembering that teeny tiny fact. Honestly, Clarissa felt bad for Drew, he looked like he was really struggling this time to find the right things to say, he wasn’t as smooth and collected as he usually was. He was trying, for her. She looked down, unable to look at him as he talked about the text, making her feel stupid and just plain silly. But no matter how ridiculous she felt and how hard she wanted to ignore that text, deep down, Clarissa cared one hell of a lot. She smiled weakly when he mentioned he liked watching her study, which she knew was really embarrassing since she always made faces when she was concentrated doing something. “What if I break yours?.. Ever thought of that?” Her voice was soft as she finally looked up at him and tilted her head slightly to the side, her eyes a bit sad. She was cold, frigid and very strict, meaning she was usually very indifferent and robot-like when it came to feelings. Clarissa didn’t want to feel anything. Emotions kept her away from perfection, and that was all she really wanted to have, even if that meant pushing away the ones she loved. ”I-I-.. I can’t- I’m sorry-” She breathed out, panic pumping in her ears as she began walking away and leaving him behind. She wanted to push Drew away really bad, but the thought made her stomach churn and make weird flips. This was different, he was different, for some reason. After a couple seconds, Clarissa stopped walking and hesitated before turning around and found him planted on the same spot, his back facing her. She slowly walked back and stood behind him. “I-.. I like you, Drew. A lot. I really don’t know why, but I do. I just-.. I’m usually scared of taking risks because they’re not part of my plans” She gulped, scratching the back of her neck. “And you’re a really big risk.”
