Sloane waited him out for a moment, feeling like she would regret asking these questions, but honestly she was so caught up in her own head anything he said was only making it worse. Yep, regret. Should have stuck to "ignore and hope it goes away."

"You should have just told me, whatever it was." It was like she couldn't stop herself though. How was she supposed to fix the problem, or not make the same mistake again, if she didn't know what she'd done wrong? She'd thought about their conversation that day more than she would have cared to admit, but hadn't been able to come up with anything that would be enough to cause this level of awkwardness between them. Was she being one of those girls right now? Was he just being a weird boy? Why did it have to be like thiiiiisss.

Ugh. Life was easier as kids.
