"No no. It's late. You should-..."
Theodore groans and swallows his sentence as he gets pulled close by Pansy Parkinson again. He'll admit. He had a crush on her sometime around. But it lasted like a week. It was never serious.
Everyone thinks they like eachother. But they don't. Why can't anyone see that??
Besides. That was years ago. Theodore's long moved on. From the second their friend group added another girl.
This girl has been in his mind like the plague. She should start paying rent for how much she stays there.
And here she is. Taking pictures of him and the girl he liked years ago. She probably thinks he still likes Pansy. Just like everyone else does.
If only she knew that he's here contemplating if he should ask her out. Get dinner with her at some tacky place, watch the stars or something. Something romantic. He wants to put in the effort this time.
She's special.
But she's also his friend. And he might mess that up. It's better to have her as a friend than to have her as nothing.
"Okay. Alright! Fine. One more. Then we're going."
