This thread is for Chloe and Mason only, not Rohan.  So... Mason, let Chloe post first, she knows what to do.

Chloe paced nervously in the courtyard, back and forth. She just had to tell him. That was all. Not too hard. No, not hard at all. Chloe checked her watch. Mason was late. She needed him now. She needed to get this off her chest. And he was the only one she could tell; the only one she trusted.

"Come on buddy. I need ya." She said to herself, continuing to pace.

Mason rushed down the stairs and jumped down the last flight, was this it? Was Chloe going to admit her love for him so he could do the same? Mason hoped to god that's what this was about. His nicest outfit was on. His hair was thrown into a hat and he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose as he ran.

He was going to die, his heart would burst if he had to wait another minute. He busted through the front door. He yelled out for her.

"Chloe! I'm here! I got your owl! What is it?" He looked around. He spotted her, just turning to face him. He ran up to her and grabbed one of her soft, thin hands, "Hey! What's up?"

Chloe slid her hand out of his grip. She smiled a slight smile that disappeared. "I've gotta be honest with you. There's no other way I couldn't be, I mean, I can't keep secrets." She took a deep breath. "I think I'm in love. Really. I do. I think I am." She started fumbling with her hands before continuing. "I know I said that I didn't believe in true love till we're older. But, I think I've changed."

"There's been a guy I've liked since we met. He's sweet, and charming, and amazing. I just..." She scoffed. "I just think I'm in love."

"I've gotta be honest with you. There's no other way I couldn't be, I mean, I can't keep secrets."

Mason nodded his head slightly.

"I think I'm in love. Really. I do. I think I am."..."I know I said that I didn't believe in true love till we're older. But, I think I've changed."..."There's been a guy I've liked since we met. He's sweet, and charming, and amazing. I just..." ... "I just think I'm in love."

Mason waited for her to say his name, so he hurried her along.

"Well, who is it?" His heart pounded, his breath sped up, a few more seconds and the two of them would be together forever. Mason started planning what he was going to say next...

"Chloe, I love you too, I've loved you since the second we met, I knew, somewhere deep inside me, that you were the one for me." The words were prepared and ready to pass his lips

"Mason, it's Rohan. I didn't want it to be awkward, you know? That if I'm dating your roommate, you know." She smiled. "Nothing between us is going to change, okay? We'll still make our corny jokes together over breakfast, it'll just be Rohan sitting next to me. That's all."

Just then, across the way, a fellow raven claw girl yelled. "Hey! Chloe! Let's go work on the project!" Chloe smiled. "Alright!" She shouted back, before turning to Mason. "I've gotta go, but," She pushed his glasses up his nose. "Thanks for understanding." She then ran off before he had a chance to speak.

"Mason, it's Rohan."

Mason stopped, dead. His heart shattered into millions of tiny glass heart pieces. The pieces cut into his blood stream and the poison infected him. He didn't even listen to the rest of what she had to say. He reached for a bench behind him, his butt found the ground first.

She left him alone, and with a terrible heartache. "Thanks for understanding."

Mason pulled off his hat. He had gotten dressed nicely for nothing. "I love you too." Mason whispered as Chloe's ponytail bobbed out of sight, and out of his heart.
