"Yo, you always this quiet, or just scared I'll bite?" smirks and leans back in her chair
"Hey! Don't think you can ignore me by just opening your locker." leans forward, placing her hands on her hips
"What's with that stupid look on your face? You've got something to say, don't you? Spit it out!
"Bite me, Regina. Or are you too scared?" smirks and closes her locker
"Scared? You really think I'm scared of someone like you? Please, you're just a weak little crybaby." rolls her eyes and crosses her arms
"And you're just a mean bully." turns away, goes to class
"Wait! You can't just walk away like that! I... I didn't mean it, okay? I... I'm sorry." reaches out to grab hushed's arm
"Why do you even bother me about this? It's not like you actually have feelings, do you?"
"Feelings? You think I don't have feelings? You think I enjoy picking on you? It's just... it's just my way of hiding how I really feel."
"How you really feel, huh? And what might that be?"
"I... I... I actually... I actually like you, okay? I know it's hard to believe, but... but I do. I like you a lot more than I should." blushes
"Like me? Why wouldn't you just say so before?"
"Because I didn't want you to think I was weak. I didn't want to show anyone how much I cared. But now, I can't keep pretending anymore.
"Well, that's quite a revelation, Regina. Are you sure about this?"
"Sure? Yeah, I'm sure. Look, I know I've been a total bitch to you, but it's because I didn't know how else to deal with these feelings.
"So, you're saying you've been tormenting me because you're into me?"
"Yeah, I guess you could say that. I've been dealing with these confusing emotions for so long, and I didn't know how to handle them.
"Wow, Regina, I... I didn't expect this. I mean, I knew you had a thing for me, but... this? It's... unexpected."
"Look, I know it's a lot to take in, and I don't expect you to feel the same way. But I needed to get it off my chest. It's been eating at me for so long."
"Regina... I... well... damn. I'm not sure what to say."
"Take your time. I understand if you need some space to process everything." pauses, then reaches out to hold hushed's hand
