I don't know what to say.

[Arianna Tipley]

Arianna had made up her mind. She wanted to talk to Ares, whether it meant shouting or crying or happy endings. She had been telling herself all that she wanted to see him for, was to demand why he had done that to her on the date, but she knew, deep down, that all she really wanted was to see him again. Pushing the butterflies out of her stomach, she walked purposefully over to the Hufflepuff table to wait for him. She had sent him a letter last night, asking him to meet her here. It had been as brief as possible, as she had had no idea what to write.

Looking down at her favourite cereal, Ari knew she wouldn't be able to eat it, due to the 'butterflies', which now felt more like albatrosses, flapping in her stomach. Don't be so nervous she told herself It's just your friend Ares But could she call him her friend anymore? She wasn't sure.

Ares made his way into the great hall hesaitantly, things were great between him and Hoshi but every time he saw Arianna around he felt a wave of pain and anger. He had successfully ignored it knowing that where he was with Hoshi was where he wanted to be. But he couldn't help feeling uneasy at seeing her with another guy at the halloween ball. He walked towards the Hufflepuff table annoyed that while wanting to talk to him she made him come to her. He slid into the seat opposite her silently, he had nothing to say to her, although they had been friends he had believed that they were going to be more and then she stood him up on their first date and took off for a trip around the world. So she didn't feel the same way about me he thought, that means I betrayed our friendship but wanting to be more. "Hey..." he began feeling he should start considering if he hadn't asked her out they would've still been good friends.

Arianna's breath caught slightly as Ares sat down across from her. After not seeing him in so long, all she really wanted to do was giving him a big hug. But after all that happened, she knew she couldn't. She opened her mouth, ready to come out and say everything that had been going on, and accuse him of setting her up.
"Hi." was all that came out. She mentally slapped herself for being so soft. The truth was, she wasn't as angry with him as she was pretending to be. She knew that deep down she was only angry with herself, for believing that he could possibly like her.

Sighing, Ari looked up at him
"Thanks for coming" she said, alittle awkwardly. Now that he was actually here, everything that she'd wanted to say, had just died in her throat.
