Emmeline bit down on her lip gently. Was she really going to say this? She took a breath and took a couple of paces away from him as she tried to clear her mind and figure out exactly what she was going to say. Still not facing him, she began to speak.
"I've been.... going insane trying to figure out why I got so mad about Veronica. Trying to figure out why I actually wanted to go to the ball with you. Trying to figure out why when you kissed me it didn't completely repulse me."
She turned around, now facing him. Suddenly she was lost for words again. It seemed easier to tell him this when she wasn't actually looking at him. She had to though. She had to force the words out while looking him in the eye.
"I spent most of Christmas break trying to figure it out and it doesn't make sense. Any of it."
She took a couple more steps closer to him, now being where she had started in the first place.
"The part that makes the least sense just happens to be the answer to everything else."
Taking a slow, deep breath, she forced herself to look Cedric in the eye.
