Persephone was ecstatic. Could it have actually worked? Was her constant flirting with Ginny finally paying off?
There was no other explanation for Ginny's slightly flirty behavior earlier, and the thought filled her with pure joy. She couldn't stop smiling to herself.
"Dude, you're doing it again," Yvannah's voice cut through her thoughts, popping her bubble. "You're smiling to yourself. You're scaring the first years again."
Persephone rolled her eyes at her best friend's comment, trying to hide the grin still tugging at her lips. She continued her task of checking the booths to ensure everything was in order, Yvannah trailing behind her as they strolled through the festival grounds.
"Yva, I'm in a good mood. Don't spoil it, please," she replied with a playful huff, earning a smirk from her ever-sassy friend.
"Okay, lover girl," Yvannah chuckled. "Take a break. Everything seems under control. I can handle everything from here."
Since we’re almost at the end, let me share a few details about this scene. Ginny’s handling of the situation was very immature, which is why some readers questioned her actions. If you read her point of view, you’ll see how oblivious she was to how much her actions affected Persephone.
Because she doesn’t know how to handle such emotions, she resorted to what she’s more accustomed to—avoiding the issue. Unfortunately, her way of avoiding it was immature.
I’m not trying to make excuses. As I’ve said before, this story is about Ginny and Persephone finding understanding in their differences and figuring out how to make it work. The problem is that one of them is infatuatedly in love, while the other doesn’t even know what love is.
Well, that’s it! Don’t forget to comment and vote!
