What if? That was a question that Wendy couldn't get out of her mind since she had spoken and said her farewells to Toby. Every word that the boy spoke admittedly had been truthful, knowing he was right in the words that he spoke that's how the story teller found herself to be here now. Navigating down the Brave corridors towards his room; admittedly she couldn't help but be slightly tentative, but who wouldn't be? She had to atleast try to rekindle their friendship in anyway that she could. Start a new chapter instead of finish the story. She couldn't..wouldn't be giving up on him now. 

 As her eyes fell upon the door to the blonde's room she wouldn't help but freeze. This was apart of the Brave house she had been avoiding for what was it..weeks, months now? Yet here she was standing her fingers tips only centimeters from the wooden door; only a small distance from him. Unlike the times before when she passed Edwards room, Wendy wasn't filled with dread. She wasn't filled with a sadness that has once been almost too suffocating bare. No, on the contrary she found herself with slight hope. A hope that they could have a chance and in that moment as her fingers brushed against the wood knocking Wendy didn't care if inevitably it ending badly. The heartbreak would be worth it for one more adventure with him.

The bus ride back to the academy was just as awkward as the ride leaving it was. Tension had shifted and seemed to loom over Jane and Layla who sat at the window seat glaring at her as if she stared long enough the daggers she envisioned stabbing her with repeatedly would materialize and forever rid of the menace known as Jane Darling. Said girl was quite tired of her panties being in a twist and too upset to bash her face in the window so she pulled her legs to her chest and buried her face in her crossed arms, falling asleep to the lull of the bus.

Al walked towards his tent area, looking around for Edward. Even though he had been sort of shy when they first met, he was hoping the camping trip would make them closer. He saw the blonde over by an already made tent and walked over, squatting down next to him and surveying the tent. “It looks good bro. I would’ve helped you out if you’d waited for me!” He said, playfully shoving him.

After teasing Koda about his new love she felt oddly at ease. That was, until she spotted her best friend making his way up. Their confessions replayed within her mind and her heart ached in pain. 

She wanted to talk to him and hear his accent make her heart flutter but instead it writhed in pain at the guilt. Aladdin stood up ahead, talking to a fellow classmate and all she wanted to do was hug him. So she did, walking up and wrapping him in a hug from behind.

Ches had said it. So had Melissa. But, even if both of her fellow students had informed her of such rumors, Wendy didn't want to believe it. How could she? The idea of Slightly seeing someone else, kissing someone else..well truthfully it pained her and made her heart ache.

Had all the things he said; about her being special and caring for her..had it all been a lie? Deceptive, sly and manipulative were never words that she ever thought could come to mind when thinking of the blonde haired boy. However, as the words of the cunning students twisted into her mind set further and further, it puzzled Wendy why she had not seen it until now. 

Rumors, only rumors until proven true. Wendy reminded herself with a small sigh. Pushing herself forward, her eyes scanned across the grounds in hopes to find him; wanting him to tell her that they were only rumors, that he hadn't deceived her. So when she catch the flicker on movement from the edge of the forest, the girl walked quickly over knowing it would be him.
