"It was completely insane, mate. I couldn't believe she let me go so far and all on a whim, too. Bloody bird, I was so sure she'd just be a tease. Ha!" Evan was in the middle of explaining to Ben his latest escapade with Athena Malfoy.

Isabella could hear him down the hall but did her best to keep the blush out of her cheeks- a major failure- as she approached the two boys. Her hands were tucked into her pockets so she could hide the nervous tension in them as she approached. She had asked around as to where she could find him, and despite a few raised eyebrows, she had ended up there, standing awkwardly in the middle of the corridor.

Hesitantly, she came to stand a few feet away from them. "Um. Ben?"

Evan's gaze shifted to the shy brunette, a smile cracking over his features as he gave Ben a nudge. "Ben," he cooed, mocking Isabella's soft voice. "This young lady wants to talk to you."

Ben laughed along with his friend as he leaned against the wall, listening to his rather interesting escapade with Athena. Although he didn't really care about that sort of stuff anymore--for some weird reason--he was never going to tell Evan that. Of course not. He'd never live it down. Although it was pretty interesting to hear about Athena in that way.

"I know, mate," he replied easily, his voice low as it was usually, "I didn't think she was like that. She is pretty hot, though." Evan's facial expression had changed, though, and he was nudging him.

Turning his head around, he spotted Isabella. Shit. His stomach gave a little tug when he saw her. Sure, he wanted to talk to her.. But he was with Evan. And as if right on cue, he was smirking and making a joke about it.

Shooting a glare at his friend, he tried to think quickly what he could do, before he looked at Isabella and replied rather coldly. "Yeah?"

Isabella hardly managed to restrain a grimace at his description of Athena. Obviously, the two didn't get along very well, and more than that, she didn't particularly enjoy the thought of him talking about any other girl that way. She supposed that was how boys were, though, and she didn't comment, just shifted her wait uncomfortably.

"Er-" She was taken aback by the coldness in his voice, a tone she didn't hear from him, not directed at her anyways. She glanced uneasily at Evan, before continuing. "I was just... going to ask if you decided what to do Saturday?"

Evan grinned broadly. "Are you taking her ot the dance, mate?!" he exclaimed. "You never told me! Aw, she can be your princess! How sweet!"

Ben hadn't relaized he had gotten caught with what he said. It made him feel uneasy, seeing the expression on her face. Why had he said it? Well, he hadn't known she was there..why did he feel bad, then? He had just said that Athena was hot...was that wrong? Was he not supposed to do that?

And when she said it, Ben knew Evan's reaction before it even came out of his mouth. He grimaced, closing his eyes breifly as his stomach did a flip. He really was never going to hear the end of that. Ever.

"Shut up," he muttered at Evan, his eyes glaring. "No, I'm not taking her to the dance," he replied, even colder, not able to look her in the eye.

Evan let out another burst of laughter at his reaction. It was so easy to get under Ben's skin. Sometimes it was just too funny. He really needed to loosen up. "Well, then what's she talking about?" he asked, quirking a brow.

Isabella swallowed thickly at his answer. Why was he acting so cold? Why wouldn't he look at her? Was he embarrassed? Embarrassed to be seen with her? Technically, he hadn't lied, but he hadn't exactly offered another explanation either. Her lips parted as if to speak, but she ended up ducking her head instead.

"You know, if I'd known, I'd have offered to take you. We could've had a good time, Isabella." Evan piped up again, causing Isabella's cheeks, securely hidden behind her curtain of hair to burn red.

Ben's face was red by this point, and he was really going to punch Evan. Still looking at the ground, he resisted the urge to shove him into the wall and tell him to sod off. He was making this all the more difficult. Why had she insisted on coming up to him while he was with him?

"Shut up, Evan," he hissed again, shooting a death glare in his direction. "Just shut up." He looked at Isabella then, feeling a giant pang of guilt, but definitely made the wrong move. "She's not talking about anything. Now let's go."

Deep down, he knew he was doing the wrong thing. He could see that right on her face. He didn't want to hurt her...but it was so much easier than explaining to Evan what was going on.

She's not talking about anything.

Isabella's head lifted to look at him as the words left his mouth, a hurt expression fluttering across her face. He was embarrassed by her. He didn't want his friends to know. That must have been why he didn't want to go to the dance with her. He was ahsamed of being seen in public with her.

She felt tears burning in her eyes and immediately turned away, hurrying off down the hall.

Evan watched her go, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly. "What was that all about?"

He felt like he was going to vomit, just at the sight of her face. It hurt him to see her like that, especially that he had caused it. But he had no spine. He wouldn't say anything, not in front of Evan. He just didn't feel like..dealing with it.

And he caught the tears just as she turned away, and it made his chest hurt. But he still stood there, looking pathetic, before he turned to Evan. He really just wanted to punch him.

"Fucking asshole," he said, shoving his shoulder. He wanted to run after her, stop her and tell her he was sorry, but...he didn't.
