Cho looked quite upset.
"I...no, Marietta," she said at last. "I...I've been thinking the same thing...if you'd asked me sometime last year I would have said yes, but..."
"Why last year?" Marietta asked, the words catching in her throat.
"Because...you know! How could I possibly feel the same way after...what you did? I know I said I'd stand by you, but I meant as a friend."
"I didn't mean to do that," Marietta said, hoping she wasn't whining and knowing she was. "It wasn't you...I wouldn't get into trouble, I'd have stopped it..."
This time Cho's expression seemed like one of pity. "I...no. I can't."
