Renna giggled. "How did you know?"
But then she shook her head, brushing some hair from her face that wasn't really there, and tucked in her lower lip.
"It's weird, we met sort of the same way we were reunited today... Under a table." She afforded him a genuine grin and went to take his hand, despite him having yanked it from her from earlier.
"ANd there I was, crawling around and dirtying up my skirts when I noticed a foul smell. I think they were your great Uncle's feet.." she said with a wrinkle to her nose, but then I saw you and I rememebred how much your brother's had teased you, so when I started blaming you for your stink foot, I just thought it was my only way to becoming friends with you. Though I won't lie, it was fun making your cheeks pink, but I never meant it to be mean. I was just being playful."
She gave his hand to squeeze.
"But I didn't know any better back then..."
ANd she drew in a careful breath, looking away from him as she gave an idle kicking of her feet.
"I just knew I wanted to be friends with you. You seemed.. different than the rest, and I think we were both pretty awkward. After all, no one wanted to be friends wiht the girl with carrot frizz for hair and freckles all over."
