When Cress mentioned the ring, it brought Alicia's attention to the fact that she was fidgeting with it. She hadn't meant to, but she supposed if anyone was going to know about her having Boo's ring, it was probably safe that a teacher did. Still, a bit embarrassed she tucked the chain with her locket and Boo's ring back down her blouse.
She took a moment to catch her breath. Not really sure what else to say on the matter. She hadn't meant to dish out everything, but Cress had asked and holding it all back over the last year and a half took it's toll.
"Yes, for safe keeping." she answered.
"So I guess that's it. Nothing I can do. Just resign myself to be St. Margaret's resident, slutty lesbian. Then on to Oxford's slutty lesbian." she finished. That was all she really knew how to do, to keep her feelings in check and give emotional distance from everyone and everything.
