Realization

When Pico went to lie in his bed that night, he thought of how he felt when he was in Nene's arms. The dream startled him, but he felt a warmth he had never felt before. On the outside and inside. He rolled over and stared at the photo of him and Nene on his wall. It finally hit him.

"I'm in love with her." He said to himself. His eyes widened after he heard himself say it out loud. He sat up and clasped his hand over his mouth. After a few seconds, he slowly removed it.

"What?" He asked. He lay back down and stared at his ceiling. 

When Pico went to school the next morning, he greeted his friends like normal, but felt some kind of way around Nene. He had these fluttering feelings around her before, so he concluded that all it took was realization. Pico could barely talk to Nene without going red in the face, and didn't feel comfortable around her unless Darnell was also with them. Whenever Nene asked Pico if he wanted to do something with her, he would politely reject her. It could be something as simple as heading to the library; if it didn't include Darnell, Pico didn't want to do it. Pico did want to hang out with her like normal, but he was much too afraid of embarrassing himself in front of her. His feelings for Nene got so deep, that in a matter of weeks, he couldn't even look her in the face without having visible blush. This was a problem; especially when she was trying to talk to him.

This all looked completely different from Nene's point of view. It took the politely rejecting her to the refusing to look at her to give her the idea that she had done something wrong. She would worry herself for hours thinking about it. Of course, if she asked Pico if anything was wrong, he would say no; but she knew it had to be something. She lied curled up on her floor all on afternoon because of this.

"Does he think I'm ugly? Is that why he won't look at me? Am I annoying? Is that why he won't hang out with me?" Nene asked herself while biting her fingernails. "No..." She said. "IT'S BECAUSE I'VE GOT HERPES, ISN'T IT?!" She wailed. She rolled and landed face flat on her carpet. "Damn Jordan Katalano..." She whimpered into her floor. Nene sat up. "Maybe he'll stop acting weird one day... Then I can confess to him." She said.

A/N: Sorry this chapter was a little short; I have something special planned for the next one, though. ;D
