CHILI POV

OH MY FUCK. DID I REALLY JUST FUCKING SAY THAT? I SOUND SO DUMB. AND GROSS. "There's absolutely no way." Rye makes direct eye contact with me, her voice lowering. "You'd want to be closer to me." I look down at my feet. "Oh? Well. You were right. I just wanted to steal your wheat again." I say sarcastically and she scoffs. "It's not wheat! It's rye! Dumb-ass!" I chuckle. "I'm going to go no-" "No you aren't!" She pulls on my mask/handkerchief, that's around my neck at the moment. She's like... an inch away from my face. Speaking of my face, it was warmer than the fucking sun. What the hell. "I swear, pepper. That I will find out what you're planning. One day." She lets go of me and walks off, leaving me breathless. What the fuck just happened. That little bitch. I hate her so much... but she's so... I don't have the time to dwell on my feelings. I'm gonna get going. "Heyy!! Pepper!" I hear a young voice yell and I look over. Custard. What could he want? "What do you want custard." He puts his hands on his hips and looks up at me. "Did something happen between you and rye? She seems really mad at you." I glare at him. "Uh, nunya! It's not your business. It's adult stuff. Besides, don't you have king things to do?" I glare at him again and he sweats and runs off. I walk back to my house avoiding all sights of rye. It's not like I dislike her right now, it's just that I'm confused. So confused. I'm about a block away from my house and I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and my stomach drops.
"Hi rye."
"Hi pepper."
She looks down at her feet and I give her a questioning look. "Um... pepper." She's still looking at her feet, I'm not able to see her face at al due to her hat. "What?" She looks up at me and groans. "So I tried to talk to sparkling about how you've been acting to me lately and he said that..." she makes eye contact with me. "It sounds really cheesy and stupid but he said that you have some kinda 'soft spot' for me and I'm wonderin... if... that's true..." Huh? Soft spot? Pfft! Nooo... that sounds so stupid! Well I don't understan- oh my god! That's it! This whole time I've been questioning myself wondering why I act like this around her and...! I know it! But why?! "R-rye... that's... I'm sorry uhh... I don't know what you mean...? I mean I do actually but I just uhh..." I look down at the ground and feel my face warm up, I'm not sure if it's because I'm angry or... "Yes. I don't know why I do but I just feel so much different around you. I don't know why and I can't control it I'm sorry...!" I shout out all at once and her eyes widen. We make eye contact for a half-minute. I look down at her lips and back at her eyes. "I-I'm sorry... I'll go!" I run off In a random direction. I don't pay attention to where I'm going, I just want to find a place away from this situation. She... must be upset at me. She has to think I'm stupid. I am... stupid aren't I? I'm a stupid fool! I'm stupid stupid stupid! Why am I like this...? I'm not supposed to be feeling this way about her! I could have chosen anyone! God I'm so stupid! I sit down on a random log in the forest and mash my palms on my forehead. God I wish she would show up. But I want her to go away. So I don't have to feel this stupid.
