An unexpected twist

You followed Madison around the upper floor. You noticed a distinct switch in her character between all the times she’d bullied you before and last night’s fiasco. You’d say it was a good change and that you were glad to be on good terms if not for another sudden change in character when she reached this particular door. Everything from voice, the way she acted, tone, and there sense of what’s going on inside her. However, it hadn’t gone back to the antagonistic villain. In fact, it became more fluid and open?

“And this room is mine. You can check out what it’s like…” Madison said, opening the door to a clean room that you could very well see being hers. She waved her hand in, visually telling you to do what she said. You followed in and, as suggested, took a look around. It wasn’t the first time you’d been in a girl’s room so nothing was too special, but it demonstrated a closer relationship between two old enemies. There was a tiny click as Madison shut the door softly, cutting you two off from public view.

“It’s nice. Should we move on?” You asked, thinking nothing unusual of her hospitality. She smiled gently as she strutted towards you.

“Sam…” Madison called for your already drawn attention, “I’m sorry if I’ve been a little… rude, in the past.”

At this point, your late suspicions began to run. “Don’t feel it’s your fault. I stepped in too deep and needed to know that.”

“No. I’m not currently taking forgiveness. I’ve been meaning to tell you…” She looked with a sparkle in her eye, not once breaking eye contact. Your mind raced, thinking of what kind of trick this is. “I… I like you. I’m sorry, and I know that you and Rebecca are already dating. And I’m sorry for my past actions. But… well, I said it already so what harm is there in saying again. I like you.”
