【♡♡♡】 —— Face sobering, she steps back, gaze growing somber at his words. Crossing her arms over her chest, hips cock to one side and lips twist with her dismay, falling silent. She understands his worry, understands why he’s so guarded, so she’s careful with her words, taking her time to form her response.
❝ Listen... ❞ she starts with a quiet sigh. ❝ I get why you’re concerned, but... you really don’t need to be. The way I see it is if people don’t want to be my friend or talk to me because I’m friends with you, then I really, really do not want someone so judgmental in my life. I think it says more about a person if they refuse to associate with me because I hang around with you and what it says to me is that they’re not people I should bother with. And if that makes me dumb or strange, then that’s fine. I’d rather be happy and dumb with you, anyhow~ ❞
Shifting her weight, she runs her teeth thoughtfully over her bottom lip before saying softly, ❝ I... think you’re better than you know. I mean, you’re worrying over what others might think of me ! That definitely means you’re a good person~ ❞ she has to bite her tongue before she says more. And what she wants to say is that she feels like she’s meant to be friends with him, that she’s inexplicably drawn to him, that something inside her tells her to stay by his side.
She doesn’t really have the courage to tell him this, finds that it’s a little too much, too soon and she doesn’t want to appear strange or creepy to him.
