just a dumb human like you

Things like this always took the blond by surprise. Not that she didn’t care about other people’s thoughts. She did. It’s just the fact that she doesn’t listen to much gossip or at times keeps to herself, always makes old information seem new to her; making her quiet for a moment and a little confused on what it must be like not to have a mum. “Were you two close?” she asked, trying not to be a selfish sixteen year old for once. While sitting on the desk, she swings her legs back and forth from fear of speaking about something too personal. “My family being happy and together. Someone is really sick and it puts a toll on everyone, really,” she replies looking to the boy with the messy dark hair.  

Shrugging, Chase walked over to the mirror, smiling lightly as the reflection of him and his mother he briefly saw before turning around. “Not really. I was only 5 when she died, so I didn’t know her that well,” he shrugged, tilting his head as he listened to her talk about what she saw. “Oh wow, that sucks…I’m sorry,” he frowned, running through his hair as he waited for her to speak again.
