It was her turn for a story now. Taking a breath, she let it out and began. "We've been spending more time together. Then for the holidays, he gave me a gift, a necklace. I guess I've liked him for a while, but I only just realized it at that time. I gave him his gift, the scarf that he's been wearing and I was going to tell him that I liked him. But.." She stopped for a moment, feeling her heartbeat quickening a bit.
"He's seeing Charity. They're dating or something. I didn't even tell him. The other day I spent time with Frank and Dirk and Frank told me that James recently said something about me being insensible and that I'd have to ask him for the rest of the things he said. So... between him dating Charity and talking about me... I don't care if he knows if I like him... because I'm trying to get over it." Another breath, as she sat a little bit straighter.
"He found someone great for him. My feelings are just a childish phase. What he doesn't know can't hurt him. Not that knowing would make a difference. I practically threw myself at him."
Oh no. She realized that she had just spoken every one of her thoughts aloud, to Sirius, James' best friend. He was probably going to go back and tell him everything now. "I'd appreciate if you kept this between us." She didn't know if she could trust him, but it was too late now.
