What are these feelings? (open)

[Liam McAdam]

Liam walked to the shrieking shack and knew it was the only place he could be alone as he never saw anyone there. Once he got inside, he found a room where he could sit on a bed safely and think. He had been experiencing unusual emotions when he met Kadie and Simone, yet he could not decipher them, let alone comprehend them.

[Belle Roberts]

Isabelle or Belle as she liked to be called was out walking towards the shrieking shack. It was a place she could go to to be alone, at least usually.

When she got inside though, she found someone already there. It was a guy. Isabelle had a really hard time around guys. She just didn't trust a whole lot of them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that anyone was going to be here," she said apologetically with her usual cheerful smile. The smile wasn't as genuine as usual, but hey. She firmly believed in being nice to people.

[Liam McAdam]

Liam looked up when he heard Isabelle walk in. He was about to leave before he heard her apologize. "It's alright, I didn't know either." he said, smiling to be polite. Maybe he could ask her about his new emotions. "My name is Liam McAdam." he said, smiling again.

[Belle Roberts]

She smiled a bit nervously. It was just that, guys always tended to make her nervous.

"Isabelle Roberts. I go by Belle though," she responded as he introduced himself. She gave him a genuine smile this time, actually feeling a little relaxed, which was a new feeling for her. Usually it took her awhile to not be so on edge with guys around here. She sat down on a chair across from the bed.

"So uh, do you come in here often?" she asked.

"It's just that, I usually come in here to think, and you look pretty occupied to me," she added with a smile.

[Liam McAdam]

"It's a pleasure to meet you Belle." he said, smiling politely. He then heard her question and hesitated to answer. "Well...this is the first time I was ever here...I came to think about...something that has been troubling me for quite a while." he said, somewhat embarassed by this, but was not one who would lie alot.

[Belle Roberts]

"It's a pleasure to meet you too," she said sincerely. She listened to his response to her question, and could hear the embarrasement. She was glad that she wasn't the only one who got embarrased easily.

"I'm sorry that something is troubling you," she commented.

"I can leave if you want to be alone," she added.

[Liam McAdam]

"No..It's fine.." he said before thinking that Belle would know how he was feeling "Could I ask you something?" he asked, hoping that she would have an answer to his little predicament.

[Belle Roberts]

"Of course," she responded with a nod as he asked her if he could ask her something. She always liked to try to be there for everyone, and if she could help him in any way, that would be good.

"Ask away," she added to indicate that she was listening.

[Liam McAdam]

"Alright..please forgive me for sounding like a moron, but....have you ever felt a strange emotion inside of you? I mean...one that you can't truly describe, and that seems to occur when you are around someone?" he asked, knowing he was not being very specific, but he needed to know.

[Belle Roberts]

"You don't sound like a moron," she said with a shake of her head.

"I know what you're talking about, though no, I haven't experience it myself. Probably because I don't let myself be around a guy enough to feel it," she responded.

"But I do know what you're talking about," she added again.

"So, you're experiencing feelings for someone then?" she asked curiously. It felt sort of odd to be talking about this, when she despised relationships herself.

[Liam McAdam]

Liam was unsure what she meant. "What do you mean?" he asked. Apparantly he had no clue what having a crush on someone was, so he could not say anything else.

[Belle Roberts]

"Well, it sounds to me like you're experiencing having a crush on someone, or someones," she responded wisely. Since when did Belle give advice about crushes and relationships and such when she was too scared to experience them herself?

Ah well. She liked to help people out.

[Liam McAdam]

Liam blushed a bit at the idea as from how Belle told him, having a crush on someone was pretty much falling in love. "So...you're saying...that I'm in love?" he asked, blushing deeper at his own question.

[Belle Roberts]

"You could be, but maybe not. Crushes are very different from love. I think most people are just in love with the idea of being in love. Love is huge, it's just not something one can say that they are very lightly," she replied honestly.

"But maybe I'm not the one to ask. I'm kind of cynical when it comes to love," she added honestly, wondering why she was telling him that.

[Liam McAdam]

"Oh, that makes sense." Liam said as he shrugged but was now curious about why Belle said she was cynical about love. "Why do you say that?" he asked, his curiosity peaked. "If you don't wish to tell me, I can understand." he added, not wishing to force her.
