“Oh…” Jack said.
Meeting up with him, now, felt even more awkward. He didn’t rightly believe in these magical anons, not over things like feelings. What if it had all just been a lie, to get close to Katelynn? What if he really did just want to steal her away all the while pretending to be into men?
There were so many possible liars around. He knew that more than anyone.

“Well. For your sake, m… more than my own. I don’t want to not be friends with any of yours… well. Um. Besides… besides the villains. I’m sorry I… can’t be friends with people like that…” he stammered, looking down at his hands.
