[Suddenly a hint of color rises to his cheeks, which he tries (with little success) to will away.]

The brainless nooksucker couldn't even figure out that no, I was not his friend, and no, I did not ever want to be, and he could not possibly have been more off about how I felt.

I mean, maybe it's good now that he's so fucking dense he can never figure it out, but it was just frustrating beyond fucking words then.
