"No, everyone thinks they know what happened. There's a difference." He said, shutting his book and placing it next to him. "Do you want to sit down?" he asked before continuing. "Look, I know you don't want to hear this but I really want to explain because I feel terrible for what happened and I would really appreciate it if you could forgive me, even just slightly." Ted gave a sad smile.
"Anyway, what happened was, I was in the hallway just talking to Sarah when suddenly she kissed me." he paused here, recalling what had happened. If he'd been James or Sirius he would've made a joke about how irresistible he must be but being him, he didn't even think of that. "It was a total surprise to me and I promise I didn't kiss her back. Not that it really matters now. Your friend walked through the hallway and saw her kissing me and assumed I was cheating on you. Then she went and told everyone and that's how the rumour spread." he paused for a moment to let Andie take all this in. "I asked Sarah to help me try to clear this misunderstanding up but she was mad at me for pushing her away and so refused." he continued. "So now you hate me and your cousin hates me and probably half the school hates me because your cousins pretty influential." at this Ted gave a wry smile. "Not that that really matters. You're with... Romeo now anyway." He'd had to pause before saying his name to stop himself from saying 'that Romeo guy'. He was trying to ask for Andie's forgiveness and he didn't think he'd get it if he insulted her new boyfriend. "But I just really don't want you to hate me anymore." he paused again and looked wistfully at Andie. "You were such a fun person to be friends with and I really miss that." he finished. He looked down at his hand, not sure how Andromeda would react to all this.
