awkward was something ben had never felt around hailee - yet that seemed to be the only emotion coursing through him as he sat next to her. they were meant to be studying, but the words on the paper in front of him, had long blurred into an unreadable mess. finally giving up, a quiet sigh left him, eyes staying firmly fixed on the paper in front of him. "i'm sorry." the words seemingly coming from nowhere, given she didn't live inside his mind, where he'd been battling the guilt, since the moment he'd learnt his present had caused drama for her. "i didn't mean to make things... harder for you with the gift. i promise, it wasn't any way my intention to cause problems for you."
