"Nothing," He smiled and shook his head, taking the costume. "Nervous for dancing is all. But it'll be okay." He looked at the costume and tried not to cringe, then ran one hand through his hair. "When is the ball?" Hopefully he wouldn't have to change into it now and walk to the ball in broad daylight. The costume wasn't bad, but... It wasn't really Torin's style. He tried not to groan when he looked at it. At least it had a mask so he could hide his shameful face, right? Honestly, he'd rather go fight the minotaur than dance in this outfit.

Yes, okay? Yes, I was hurt by how blunt he was. He obviously didn't like the costume nor the ball. I felt like an idiot. I knew I should have gotten to know him more. I ran my fingers through my curly hair, deciding that it looked horrible curly.

"Um, never mind. We don't have to go. It's getting late anyway, and I just remembered I had to help someone with a project," I told him. Yes, I lied, but not very much. The truth was, someone had to help ME with a project. Of changing this stupid hair. I put my hand on his cheek softly, remembering how sweet he was. I tried not to get sad.

"I will see you later, k?" I said, standing on my tall to kiss him on the nose.

"Oh..." Torin frowned. He was happy that he didn't have to go to the ball, incredibly happy, in fact. But how upset Lexi seemed was overwhelming. "A project? But...A minute ago..." He cast a sad glance at the ground. So much for hanging out that day. Then Lexi stretched on her toes to kiss his nose, and he jerked his head back in confusion. How come when he tried to kiss her, she got anxious, but then later she got all affectionate? Were girls always this way? "Uh..." He couldn't manage to say anything else. He wanted to say that if she felt uncomfortable, they could take it slow, but he wasn't sure how she'd respond, and couldn't muster the courage or voice to say it anyway. He just wanted her to be happy. If it meant wearing a dumb costume, he would do it.

I took a step back, feeling heartbroken. I ran my fingers through my hair, which I hated at the moment, and the bun became a mess. I opened my mouth and closed it, without a word.

Finally I squeaked, "Sorry," And ran out the door, stumbling. I knew that was my mom telling me not to just leave him there, and I wasn't. I was going to go back later tonight, and apologize, but first I had to just take a shower and be alone without heart ache.
