Didn't seem like he had any romantic inclinations towards me whatsoever until I started hanging out with Solomon. Then he got really protective." The smile wilted into a frown. "He kissed me, once. After I told him how I felt, how much it sucked having feelings that weren't returned. It would have been a disaster though, I think. There were," she paused, thoughtful, drawing in. Breath. "Extenuating circumstances at play."

All at once she was drawing hands up to press against her face, mumbling against her palms. "Sorry." Solomon, Taym, Noah. They'd all rejected her one way or another.

Peyton breathed an unhappy huff against America's shoulder, leaning into her. "I'm mad at the world." It was incredibly broad, but it felt accurate. She was just mad, and though Noah was was going to take the brunt of it, there was plenty to go around.

A soft, hollow laugh followed as the smaller girl wrapped small arms around America's waist.
