Nope? Your reply sounds so fake. C'mon is she troubling you? Atlas said.
Pfft nooo. You know the way Lucy is right? She won't do such things to me right?
Atlas sighed deeply. So then, why won't you hang out with her and her friends?
Well. Nothing. Just-just don't feel like doing that today.
Aren't you getting so proud this days? He joked.
She then chuckled and took few steps towards his wardrobe. Can you call that pride? She replied.
Whatever. I like you that way though.
Yea. That's right!
So Hux. Aren't you interested in that guy any longer?
Guy? Which guy?
The one at the bar!
No Atlas. You know thats nonsense. I mean I was never interested in him.
Yea. But he was and is still interested in you. So....
He was the one catching feelings not me!
Why? Isn't he good-looking enough? Or you like guys like those my crew down stairs?
Definitely not. Huxley said, her voice mixed with laughter. Those guys down stairs are bad ass. And of course the guy at the bar is good looking..but then....
Atlas let her complete her episode of weird laughter before he picked up from where she stopped.
"But then what?"
Nothing. I'm lending your sweatshirt home. This tank top can't hold the cold... I'm feeling a bit cold.
Sure. Take 'em . So what were we saying?..
Nothing. Atlas I think the others are waiting for you. Let's go down stairs.
Nope. Not until you say it all.
Look Atlas. We don't want anyone to have a wrong though towards our friendship. Huxley tried brushing the conversation off.
I don't care what they think. We-dont-care. So what were you saying? "But then what?"...
Ugh...but then. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO TAKE MY ATTENTION FROM YOU. Simple enough. She finally said causing a quick silence in the room.
Atlas couldn't express the feeling. What was it like? Does anybody feel like him? What does she even mean? Does it mean there is something other than friendship attached to it? Does Huxley even see it that way?
