Here is that excerpt that I promised :) Please note, // surrounding a sentence indicates italics!
"/I mean I like him, don't I? He is incredibly handsome, no denying that!/ The thoughts floated through her head as she absently flipped another page of her book. /The problem is that I really don’t know him all that well, and he won't let me try to change that. Why does it always have to be Gajeel's way? What about what I want to do?!/
She was starting to make herself angry, and realized that reading was not distracting her form her thoughts of the Dark Dragon Slayer like she had hoped. Sighing and shaking her head, she tried to focus back on the pages of her book. Yet once again, it only lasted for a few page turns. /What did he even mean when he said I deserve someone who hadn't hurt me like he had? It isn't like I haven't gotten over it, or gone through worse. Besides, I know he was different then, hurt and lost and following an evil man. Why won't he even talk to me about it? Gah! He is so infuriating!/
She shook her head as she once again tried to focus on her book. Her mind wandering back to thoughts of Gajeel frequently throughout the night. Her mind was all over the place."
Hope you all are having a wonderful week! Keep an eye out for the chapter that this passage came from, "A Diamond in the Rough"
