[And in a blinding flash of mild embarrassment, Heather is promptly yanked straight back to middle-school. She decides to deal with this by shoving slightly harder. Because THAT'LL show her!!1!one!]
He IS pretty much my best friend, remember? Of course I like him.
[Grumble grumble.]
That doesn't mean I like like him. You can be friends with a guy and not like like them.
[Oh come off it Heather she already knows.]
[After a brief pause, she leans over to set the ice cream carton down on the floor, giving her shaggy blond head a shake and letting out a sigh. It is Rise, after all... Rise, possibly the ONLY PERSON who she has had an even remotely girly conversation with in YEARS. Aaaaand one of the few people she actually trusted with personal things, even if there were a few she wanted buried far from the eyes of anyone here-- especially her new 'little sister'.]
[This? This wasn't one of those things. It's EMBARRASSING, sure, and she doesn't even know what HAPPENED just now to make Rise figure it out (she was so sure she was keeping it so far under the radar that it wouldn't even be a BLIP), but... well. Not the end of the world if one person knows about a dumb crush, right?]
What exactly tipped you off? It wasn't seriously just the fact that I was happy, was it? Because that's not fair, that doesn't even mean anything.
