You can't force something that isn't there -- Winter 2016

I followed my cousin, not wanting to argue with her about ti being 'just Leo' because it was not like that.  "Ren... let's just get a huge bowl and stuff our faces, hmm?" I suggested, thinking that this would be a good thing even if she did not know the entire story.

I looked at Quinn, wondering if there was something more going on with them that Quinn was not telling us.    She was not one to openly want to stuff her face with ice cream or anything.  I smiled and nodded at her.  "Of course we'll be doing that," I assured her.

I smiled at my cousin and we got ourselves huge ice cream servings despite the slight coolness in the air. "This looks wonderful," I said to serenity, taking a big bite of my peanut butter ice cream.

I grinned as I took a big bite of my chocolate chip mint ice cream I had gotten for myself.  "Oh it definitely is," I assured her, bumping her shoulder with my own playfully.

Of course Serenity would get chocolate chip mint ice cream.  I smiled at her.  "You got your favorite," I said, stating the obvious.

I laughed at Quinn.  "Well, duh," I said to her.  We finished our treats and I checked the time.  "We should probably head back to the castle..."

I smiled and nodded.  "Yeah," I said, linking arms with my cousin again.  "Thanks for all the help, Ren," I added, looking at her.  She did make me feel better about everything.

I grinned at Quinn.  "It's what I'm here for," I assured her.  "You're sure you're alright, though?" I worried about Quinn.

I looked over at Serenity and smiled at her, nodding.  "I'm fine," I assured her.  "There's nothing to worry about, Ren.  I promise."

I smirked at her.  "Well... you know what could help you get out of this funk," I said suggestively wiggling my eyebrows.  I had just seen a certain boy walking in front of us.  Noah Gellar.

I glared at Serenity.  "This is not the time to be dealing with that," I said, shaking my head.  Of course everyone thought that I was just with Leo for a hsort period of time, not for as long as we were an item.

I smirked.  "Are you sure?" I asked, nudging her playfully.  "He totally fancies you.  You should go with him."  I really wanted Quinn to be happy.

I rolled my eyes.  "Listen to me," I said.  "I'm not going to do anything with Noah. ...but you really think he fancies me?" I asked.  I mean... he saw me without my wig.  How could anyone fancy me having seen me like that?

I smirked, knowing that would get her attention.  "oh yeah... he definitely fancies you," I assured her.  "Go up and talk to him.  I'll leave you two alone..."  I figured Noah would help her more than I could.

I sighed, shaking my head.  "Ren... I'm not going to go up there and flirt with him," I said to my cousin, not entirely sure what she was thinking.  "He'll just think he was a rebound guy or something.."
