Reflected through her eyes

Rita

Gee. I never realized how cool sweethearts brother was.
I guess they're both cool but I never thought I'd have a crush on this guy.
I didn't know what to think.
Will Gilda be ok with me liking him?
Will he be ok with me liking him?
I have a terrible reputation as a chick who beats people up (I don't really) and hates anything to do with pink (I don't see what's wrong with that).
I really don't want to lose the possibility of friendship I've gained today.
Maybe they'll let me hang out with 'em.
I hope so because after today I might not want to be as much of a loner anymore, as long as the few friends I have are good people.
But of course Jessie and Rosella had to come and interrupt our conversation.
"Gilda!!!" Screamed Jessie
"What are you and Zachary doing with that ruffian Loner!!!!!"
I look away, all hopes of Zach not knowing about my reputation vanished.
But he actually stood up for me.
"Just because she isn't dainty like you girls doesn't mean you can pick on her! She won't judge another person unlike you two!"
I could hear the two scoffing at Zack for his comeback as he brushed my soon to be white bangs out of my face.
"Ok then but we're sitting here too, there's no telling what she could do to you!"
I could only glare at them.
