Nessie sighed. She had never had a chance to have any girl friends before, and now she was failing with one. She wished, somehow, she could just make it better. Make it so she didn't end up making Nyx cry all the time, or make it seem like she was rejecting the girl. She couldn't understand how though, and so she was doomed to fail over and over again with her, it seemed.

She sighed again, and managed a small smile for James "th-thank you. At l-least I d-don't mess things up with y-you" she leaned into him, pressing her face against his shoulder. 

"I f-f-feel like s-s-s-such a c-c-c-cruel puh-puh-puh..." She couldn't get it out and that just made it a thousand times worse. She gripped his shirt in her hands, frustrated. "I d-d-don't know what I'm doingw-w-wrong" 

"I j-j-just want to m-make it r-r-right" her voice sound soft, and somehow small.
