‘ you never need to apologize to me. ever. and certainly not for crying... ’ / @cuoristellati
– PAIGE CRACKS A FEEBLE SMILE, nodding her head. still, as much as she’s come to like auggie, the other blonde isn’t really the most IDEAL person to witness this. ‘ i appreciate that, hun, but . . . i know you were like, friends with that freak of nature, so – i’m aware it puts you in a weird spot. ’ paige dabs at the corners of her eyes. her campaign to get rick transferred had officially FAILED, coupled with a lecture from raditch and news officially delivered : terri was never coming back. like ever.
paige had been willing to stomach the entire situation on the grounds that it was all temporary. sure, maybe she’d messed up, but after a semester somewhere else, some time away from school . . . terri would be back anyway and it wouldn’t even matter. but now it did. tears of frustration form in her eyes again at the idea that every time she has to see HIM in the hallways it’ll just be another freaking reminder.
‘ i just don’t know what to do at this point, which i guess is probably the point. there’s nothing i CAN do, and i hate that, it makes me feel so helpless, ’ because paige, while upset, is not the sort of person to result to throwing someone in a dumpster. she wants to solve things the right way, but after losing the court case at the beginning of the semester and getting her petition shut down, it’s increasingly frustrating how the ‘right’ way is just pointless bureaucracy.
