(( Aw come on... saying sorry isn't going to help so... what can I do? ))
Talia sighed and looked from Drew to Ivy. "Alright... well, I have to go finish some homework anyway, see ya around." She said to Drew, then looked to Ivy to say that she was also included. She stood up and almost knocked into someone. "Sorry." She said, as the person half glarred at her, and she turned to leave the Great Hall. She guessed today was one of those days when everyone just wanted to be left alone with their thoughts. She shrugged and looked back to the table once more, before turning right to who knows where.

Drew looked helplessly after Talia, thoroughly confused by her actions. She had come in and almost immediately left? Either he was driving these girls off, or they were just plain weird.

((gah... I hate leaving a thread like this... )) Ivy was confused, usually Talia was quite pleasant towards her... had she done anything to make her upset? No, it wasn't her, it was probably Drew. "Okay, Thornton," she said sitting down on the table. "Ash is upset? Talia is too... what's the meaning of this?" she demanded from him, probably making matters worse. Did Drew hit Ash? ...maybe Ash said something bad to Drew? Eh, my head is hurting so much from thinking...T_T

"What? They're upset and it's automatically my fault?" Drew answered back defensively. Sure, he had just been thinking the same thing, but that didn't mean everyone else had to jump to the same conclusion.

Ivy stared at Drew for a few minutes, trying to read his eyes. "Yes," she said simply.
Of course it's his fault, but it probably wasn't intentional. she thought to herself. "Drew, you can tell Auntie Ivy what happened," she said in a mock-motherly voice. "Ash's feelings are very important to me, since I'm her older sister and all," she said proudly.

"I didn't do anything, you aren't my aunt, and I find it doubtful that anyone's feelings are important to you save your own," Drew shot back angrily. At least now, if Ivy stormed off, he would know exactly what he had done to cause it.

Talia continued to walk right until she turned a few times and ended right back at the Great Hall. She shook her head and wondered if maybe she was supposed to be here afterall. She hadn't found Ash either, and after she thought about it, she had different suspitions as to why Ash's face was red, and why she was looking down. Talia grinned to herself, and walked back into the Great Hall, seeing Drew and Ivy were still there, and she heard Drew's last comment. She eyed him... wondering what was wrong. She sat back down and sighed, wondering if it was just coincidence that both her and Ivy had come back, but she decided to stay this time. At least until someone else left. She didn't mean to be rude or mean earlier, but she was on defensive for Ash's sake.

"... and I find it doubtful that anyone's feelings are important to you save your own," Drew shot back angrily. Drew had done it. He had managed to hit a nerve. Ivy's smile disappeared gradually and she began to purse her lips. Ivy looked down at her skirt and tried not to cry. She began to fidget with the material of her skirt. It was hard to make this eccentric and usually happy-go-lucky Hufflepuff cry, but somehow Drew Thornton had done it. So, had it become apparent. "Maybe you're right," she said in a unusually small voice. ...is it true? Are you "taking care" of Ash for your own sake? Not for her's? It's true isn't it? You just want someone to be with you when he's gone. You're a terrible, terrible sisterShe stood up, and realized that she failed. A few tears had managed to fall, ruining her perfect eye-makeup. She wiped her eyes and with her back at Drew, she tried to speak in a happy voice. "Drew, I'll see you later, okay?" She paused for a moment to regain herself and ran away, still wiping her eyes. He's right, he's right, he's right...

Well, now he felt like crap. He had wanted her to leave, but hadn't expected her to cry. He debated on going after her to apologize, but his legs didn't seem to want to move. Instead he thumped his head on the table and wrapped his arms around his neck as if preparing for the ceiling to fall on him. Will Talia still there, it probably would.
"I'm such a screw up," he mumbled into his lap.

Talia watched as Ivy tried not to cry and she ran away... She looked at him and offered a warm smile, "It's not... completely your fault." She said, knowing that what Drew said, she really took to heart. It seemed as though everyone was having a bad day today... Save her. She thought maybe being so positive and happy all the time was going to drive her nuts, but she didn't like seeing people upset. Talia placed her elbows on the table and rested her head in her hands. She sighed, "Seems like you know how to hit nerves." She said, still not entirely sure of what the heck was going on.

"I wanted to make her mad, not make her cry," Drew answered without looking up. "At least this time I know what I said. With Ash, I don't even know what I did to make her leave."
He knew his statement to Ivy had been unfair. He didn't know her well enough to make a call like that and even if he had, it wasn't something you threw in someone else's face like that.

Talia eyed Drew and raised an eyebrow, "Why did you want to make her mad?" She asked, not really seeing the point of trying to piss someone off when it wasn't really needed. Which is why she asked to see if maybe it was needed afterall. Talia held in the smile when he said he didn't know what it was that he did to make Ash leave. "Guys are so dense some times." She thought, wondering when the obvious would hit him... and how hard it would hit him in the end.

"She was making me mad," Drew answered simply, moving his head slightly to look sideways at her. He wasn't going to go into all of the details of the odd conversation with Talia but people should really know below the waist conversations in public were not cool.

Talia grinned now, "But she's probably some sensitive than you." Talia said, seeing as Ivy was a female afterall, and girls knew how to dish it out, but sometimes couldn't take what was thrown back at them. She didn't want to ask what it was that had ticked him off... It wasn't any of her business. If he wanted to share it, that was completely up to him. She tapped the side of her face and wondered what nerve he hit exactly of Ivy. She knew that Ivy was worried about her little sister... But she didn't seem to connect the comment Drew made, to Ivy getting up, and running away.

Drew brought his head up a bit more, holding his face in his hands this time. He went over how he seemed to perfect the fine art of pissing girls off, usualy resulting in them crying. Why did he keep doing that?
Forget the why... what about the how? He knew what he had said and done this last time to Ivy to upset her, but there were dozens upon dozens of other times where he had absolutely no clue. He scratched the back of his head with both hands and gave a loud sniff as he tried to figure it all out.
