I knew I'd see you again

Chapter 17

"Oh really? Well, if that's so then why didn't he get you flowers?" Sara asked. Beatrice looked confused. Sara rolled her eyes as she continued to explain. "I don't know where you came from but here, if a boy likes you then he gets you flowers. Balloons are for friends dummy. Flowers are for girlfriends. You know, Wirt gave me flowers for Valentine's Day when we were in middle school. If I was you, I'd stay away from him. You'll only hurt yourself. You know he's not-"Sara's ears perked up as she heard someone clear her voice. She turned around to see Wirt standing by the door. Lucky for Sara, Wirt didn't even notice she was in there. Either that or he was just trying to prove a point. But Sara didn't notice either one of them. "Oh, Wirt! It's been forever! Give me a hug. Or better yet. A kiss!" Sara leaned in and tried to kiss him on the cheek, when Wirt took his hand and pushed her face away from him as he face palmed her. Beatrice cooled off a little from Sara's 'big speech' about flowers and balloons as Wirt walked by her side and held her hand. "What's the problem? You screamed loud enough for me to hear you from the lobby." Wirt said. Beatrice smiled. "Wirt. Is it true I've been here for weeks?" Beatrice asked. "Yah. It was pretty lonely without you at home. Greg doesn't exactly know how to stay on one topic in a conversation." Wirt said with a chuckle in his voice. "Wait! Is he here? I would love to talk to him." Beatrice said as she thought of give Greg's chubby body a tight squeeze. Wirt just shook his head. "Actually, Greg's at school. I was able to visit you because I had already done all of my homework and class work for like two weeks." Wirt explained. Beatrice laughed as she thought how typical that was for Wirt. She was just about to talk when she heard a growl. She was shocked by the sound automatically. She was scared that she was dreaming about the black wolf again. But then she looked down, felt her stomach, and felt a vibration the next time she heard the growl. "You must be hungry. I mean, you have been hooked up to a tube of mashed up and watered down food." Wirt said. "Um. Sara. Could you get me something to eat? I'm really hungry." Beatrice asked Sara. "Why don't you? I'm busy telling you how busy I am." Sara said with a snare. Wirt looked at her with an angry look and rolled his eyes. "Oh Sara. Would you be so kind as to get me something to eat? I haven't eaten in like 4 hours." Wirt says in a dramatic tone. Sara's whole demeanor changed the second he asked though. "Of course my love! I'll be right back." Sara said as she leaned in for a kiss. Wirt didn't even notice until she kissed his cheek. Wirt stood there for a moment without moving and then shivered from disgust like he was going to through up. Beatrice giggled a little as he laughed. "So. Do you want to go home? Or stay here a little longer. My mom hasn't done anything but talk about how much she misses you and can't wait to see you again." Wirt said. Beatrice thought for a moment before speaking. "I think I'll go home." Beatrice said.
