I did get a new chapter of "House of Pullip" all ready for today...but I won't be able to update the story again until next week probably. I'll still be around, just busy with family who are expected to arrive tonight sometime. :D Anyway, the story...
Chapter 425: I'm Just Stupid
Jonas: Hi, Rayna. Do you mind if I hang out with you for a while?
Rayna: Of course not!
Jonas: Thanks.
Rayna: How are you?
Jonas: Oh…I’m fine.
Rayna: Where’s Bo?
Jonas: I don’t know…
Rayna: Are you not getting along?
Jonas: No…it’s just…well, it turns out you were right about her.
Rayna: I was right…? Oh! She does like you.
Jonas: Yeah.
Rayna: I knew it.
Jonas: Yes. You’re very smart…I’m just stupid, I guess.
Rayna: You are not.
Jonas: Then why didn’t I notice before now? You’d think I would have noticed…I only hang out with Bo pretty much every day…so why didn’t I figure it out?
Rayna: I don’t know, but don’t be so hard on yourself. Sometimes it’s hardest to see things when they are right in front of your face.
Jonas: Anyway…I think she knows that I know because I haven’t seen her in a while. I think she is avoiding me.
Rayna: Maybe she feels self-conscious.
Jonas: I feel kind of nervous myself…I mean I don’t know what I’ll say to her when I do see her.
Rayna: So…how do you feel about her?
Jonas: I don’t know...I’m trying to figure it out.
Rayna: There’s no rush I guess.
Jonas: I just feel like I should know how I feel right now.
Rayna: It’s not always that easy. Even with Nicholai it took me a while before I really knew how I felt about him.
Jonas: Oh?
Rayna: Yeah, so don’t worry so much.
Jonas: There’s just one thing I don’t get…
Rayna: And what’s that?
Jonas: Why does she like me?
Rayna: Come on, Jonas.
Jonas: No, I’m serious! She can hear my deepest, most embarrassing thoughts. Stuff I’d never say out loud to anyone, even you…and she still likes me? She should hate me. I would.
Rayna: Hmmmm…well, I will say this about Bo-she is one of the least judgmental people I know. She probably learned a long time ago what thoughts mattered and which ones don’t. I think she knows what to ignore and what to pay attention to.
Jonas: Yeah…that makes sense I guess.
Rayna: You should feel flattered. She must see something really special in you that makes her feel this way about you. Just think about it that way.
Jonas: I don’t feel special. Right now I just feel dumb.
Rayna: *laughs* I think we all feel that way about ourselves from time to time.
Rayna: You should talk to her. There’s no point in avoiding the subject.
Jonas: I don’t know what to say.
Rayna: You’ll think of something.
Jonas: Either that or I’ll just muddle through…as usual.
Rayna: Do you think you might like her, too?
Jonas: Like I said, I don’t know. But I do know this…I don’t want to lose Bo, she means too much to me as a friend. I’m just trying to figure out if my feelings are just friendly feelings or if I could feel more and really mean it.
Rayna: Well, that’s a start.
To be continued...
So...not all that action-packed but it's way more interesting then what I was originally was going to do with this chapter (it was horribly dull before). Anyway, at least Jonas is now thinking in the right direction. And he is going to see Bo soon...the question is, where's it going now? We'll see... ;)
