Ravenclaw Tavern

Mark

I dress and head out, avoiding Selena when I see her in the hallway.

Selena

Me and mark both get to the door at the same time and I swallow, not ever seeing him dress so nicely. Knocking at the door, My dad answers, "You look beautiful tonight," He smiles, leading us in.

Holy. Sh*t. This is....holy sh*t.

Blinking at it, I'm stunned at chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Everyone from work is mingling and I smile, having not been to something like this in years.

Mark

I ignore Selena and hang around in the background of things, a drink in my hands as I watch everyone mingle.

Selena

My friends walking up to me, I talk to them for a while before glancing to my right. Seeing Mark alone in the background, I excuse myself before walking over, suddenly nervous, "Hey."

Mark

Selena walks up to me and I keep a straight expression, downing my drink before saying anything, "Hey."

Selena

Sighing, I look at him, "Can I be honest with you 'bout something?"

Mark

I shrug, looking at her, "Might as well."

Selena

God, I am going to regret saying this....

"I-I need you," I say, looking down, "I-I was in a bad mood. I didn't.." I can't finish, not able to.

Mark

I study her, unsure what to say in response at first, "W-what are you saying then?"

Selena

I glance up at him, "That I'm sorry. And wondering if we could start over."

Mark

I glance away for a moment before looking her in the eyes, "Is that what you really want?"

Selena

I nod, "Yeah, I do."

Mark

I study her before sighing, "What about all that stuff you said?"

Selena

I bite my lip, "I'll work something out. My dad can't control my life forever," I step closer, flashing a small smile, "So what do you say?"

Mark

I flash a small smile at her and glance up to see if her father is watching before looking back down at her, "I say what the hell. Can't hurt any."
