The Girl that Time Forgot

"Well what's wrong with that? I mean, it's not like anyone confessed true love forever that night."

"No. He was probably just being nice anyway, especially if Theresa had been hitting on him." she says, sounding a little defeated.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 10:46 am

"Do you like him?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 10:50 am

"I dunno... Maybe..." she blushes.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 10:51 am

"Then don't sell yourself short, Kay."

"I mean, I'm probably doing a dumb thing here, because two of my friends like the same guy. Still, if you like him, I'm not going to tell you not to flirt back."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 11:03 am

"Well he ran back to the party pretty fast anyway when he saw I was okay so he probably isn't even interested in me anyway."

"And I mean have you looked at Theresa?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 11:07 am

"I keep telling you, there's nothing wrong with the way you look."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 11:09 am

"Even if there isn't I can't compete with her. I mean seriously."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 11:11 am

"Okay look, if you really want to find out if he was serious, you're both still on campus. Theresa isn't, and there's no party to distract him."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 11:15 am

"Wh-what, you want me to go find him and, l-like, ask him out or something?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 11:16 am

"Or even just talk to him. I mean, there's only a handful of students staying the summer, he's probably as bored as you are, or he will be."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 11:20 am

"Okay how 'bout I... not ignore him if I run into him. By accident. Like at lunch or something."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 11:21 am

"I think that's a bare minimum, there. Otherwise he'll just think you're rude."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 11:27 am

"Well... yeah. I... just..." ...meant I wouldn't try to hide from him? "...meant I'll probably run into him anyway."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 12:23 pm

"Okay, what's the worst that can happen here? He tells you he was just being friendly, and you end up with another friend?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 12:29 pm

"Oh yeah, no big deal at all."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 12:36 pm

"I'm just saying, you know he's not going to be mean to you or anything."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 12:46 pm

"Yeah, that totally makes it... Okay so maybe that would make it better but it'd still suck!"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 12:48 pm

"Never know if you don't try, Kay. This is a school where we don't have to be the weirdos, right?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 12:52 pm

"I just... still feel like the odd one out, I guess..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 12:52 pm

"Even with a guy who has a physical mutation too?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 12:54 pm

"He's all... popular and smarmy and so... not-awkward..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 12:56 pm

"He's a lot more used to his body. Even if you just talk to him, he can probably help you through that bit, yeah?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:00 pm

"Uh-huh and one montage sequence later I'll be prom-queen."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:02 pm

"I'm just saying, he's had his mutation a lot longer. It's not like he got a tail along with puberty."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:13 pm

"Wait, he didn't? He was born like this?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:18 pm

"Yeah. His mom's the headmistress. She's a cat lady. Literally."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:24 pm

"His mom's the headmistress!?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:25 pm

"Yeah. We were kind of surprised when he told us. That's why he's staying the summer. He lives there."

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:30 pm

And Kay's face drains of what little color it had to begin with.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:35 pm

"What? It's not like she's going to be breathing down your neck or anything. She let him throw a party, right?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:39 pm

"God, no wonder he's the cool and popular kid..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:50 pm

"Or he's the guy who everyone's afraid to talk to because his mom runs things, and he wanted to get in good with people who don't know yet?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:53 pm

"He didn't exactly seem worried about that..." she says, though there's some doubt in her voice.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 1:58 pm

"But he also didn't tell you, huh?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:07 pm

"Well no he was too busy talking about... like... water nymphs or something..." she mumbles.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:08 pm

"Oh, you mean he was talking about you," she teased.

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:10 pm

"No it was... like... code-names and stuff... For me." she blushes.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:17 pm

"Well it sounds like he picked a really pretty one for you, huh?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 2:25 pm

"Naiad..." she says quietly, trying not to blush.
