"And you still remember this?" I question.
"I might've been completely wasted but my memory is stronger than that." Via nods. "I was with Castle the entire time and he was looking for you."
Huh.
"And did he find me?"
She nods. "Yup."
"Then?" I raise an eyebrow.
"I don't know. He turned around and left."
I don't let my eyebrows furrow in confusion in front of Via.
He turned around and left. Why?
"Thanks, V." I smile at her.
She winks at me. "Call me if you need me again."
With that, she leaves the school bathroom.
Riley who's re-doing her make-up in front of the mirror this whole time speaks up. "So British Boy came to get you when your ass was all drunk," she says, "only to turn around and leave at the sight of you?"
"He's not British," I say.
She brings her lipstick to her mouth. "Why did he leave?"
"That's my question."
"You got a thing for him or something?" She asks me, eyeing me from the mirror.
"Not really," I say. "He's fun to tease around. The guy acts like he gets electrocuted whenever I touch him."
"He must follow some religion or something." She shrugs, applying mascara to her eyelashes.
"Nah, that's not it." I lean against the sink. "He's really jumpy. He gets shy and flustered."
"Maybe he doesn't want you," Riley says, before blinking as if she said something in a different language. "Damn, I can't believe I said that."
"It's not that either. If he didn't want me to touch him or get close to him, I wouldn't. I respect boundaries and all." I say, "When I get close to him, I can see in his eyes that he likes it. His body reacts that way too."
"Like...he gets hard or something?" She looks at me in confusion.
I chuckle. "No."
Castle's eyes are like an open window. His eyes always light up after the initial shock of me touching him or even getting close to him. His jaw slackens and his mouth parts open but then he tries to cover it up with annoyance.
I catch his eyes sometimes, going up and down my body while I'm studying with him. He doesn't make it too obvious, but I still know it.
He is interested in me, and he might not know it yet. Until then, I'm just gonna help him realize.
