So uh where did we stop?
"Also, I can see the top of your head, dwarf."
She stalked away, barely even noticing as Stephen yelled desperately from behind her, "Hey! You, uh, wanna hang out at the playground where we used to meet when we were kids? I've invited a bunch of dudes and girls, we're..."
Only when she crossed into the next corridor did she allow the hot tears to stream down her cheeks. However, as she raised a trembling hand to wipe her eyes, a tissue appeared under her nose. Lena, holding Carmen's haversack and hosting a sympathetic smile, waved it slightly. Slowly, Carmen took it and blew her nose loudly. To her credit, Lena didn't wince even a little.
"He's ugly anyway."
Carmen looked up from folding the tissue into perfect bits, her eyes wide with shock. Lena stared at her, unsure, but Carmen didn't say anything and she continued.
"I mean, have you seen his teeth? Sharp, pointed, just like my pet hamster! And his spikes probably aren't even real. Probably spends three hours in front of the mirror preening every morning! Jock my arse, I'll have you know."
Despite herself, Carmen couldn't help but let out a hiccoughing giggle.
But Lena suddenly sobered and placed a light hand on Carmen's shoudler.
"Hey, I'm so sorry about this morning. Like, I didn't even know you treasured that sweater all that much. It's not even that bad, anyways," she teased the texture between her fingers, "plaid looks totally cute with red hair."
Carmen coughed and took Lena's hand. She didn't know why she was doing this, she didn't even understand the relationship between plaid and the colour of her hair but she just knew something had to change.
"Lena. I need you to give me a makeover. I want to come back on Monday looking like a supermodel."
And not giving her friend any time to digest this new development, she pulled her along down the corridor.
Ohkay, and so that was totally pathetic but is the continuation of the chapter Yoomi posted and I'm not done with the next one yet (paiseh) but I'll try and get it up asap, so uh yeah. :/
Just a bit more to go and the next chapter will be up! I'd ask you guys to keep waiting, but you've probably already given up so yeah hahaha. (:
