Donella closed her eyes tight at his words then shook her head "When we first met, we both admitted to being shy and quiet people. That's why we got stuck together while the others talked of whatever prank they were playing." She chanced a glance up to him then hid again "You say you 'like' me, but you do not even remember what is basically the first thing we learned about one another?"Zaine sat down slowly across from her. "I know you probably don't want to see me right now, but please, hear me out," he near pleaded. Leaning over, he placed his elbows on his knees and dipped his head. "Truthfully, I had no idea why you were upset and mad at me. Call me ignorant or mean, but I swear I didn't mean to upset you. That's the last thing I'd want to do. The thing is, Donella, I like you." He glanced up at her for just a moment before returning his gaze to the floor. "But I thought you were indifferent, so that's why I was avoiding you." He swallowed nervously as he continued staring at the floor, awaiting her reply.
