"No, he isn't. Probably just a sunburn from staying under the sun all afternoon," I said. I leaned over and hissed at Bash, "Say something, you idiot."
Bash uncovered his face as he cleared his throat. I thought he would deny it in respect to what I said earlier, but then his words afterwards just made me want to zap him with my magic.
Bash turned to Ali and Nico as he smiled and said, "Actually, to answer your question – no we aren't seeing each other."
I would have sighed in relief if he ended his response with just that sentence, but then Bash raised a finger and added, "But I am trying to court Lizzie, if that counts at all."
My jaws might as well have dropped from the height that we were at now. Turning to look at the two, I could tell that Ali was trying to hold off her excitement as she grabbed Nico's arm.
