Newtopian Love

(9) More than friends?

Marcy's Pov

Me and Anne stood next to each other, leaning on the fence of my balcony as we stared at the beautiful evening sky. Kinda awkward since we haven't talked to each other for days after the incident and Sasha's disappearance.

This was going to be the first time in a while we'll be talking to each other after all that has happened. Of course, Anne started the conversation first and asked me how I was feeling after the weird headache I had on the day of the battle.

"I'm feeling a lot better now, don't worry about it" I replied.

Anne nodded her head and sighed as she constantly kept tapping her fingers on the fence. It was then my turn to ask a question and I asked her if she talked with father about the plan he had that made the toads angry.

She looked at me and started explaining that father's plans were to go and explore the different worlds using the box she held. She said it didn't sound as bad as the toads thought, but something bothered her by the look on her face and I asked what it is.

"I don't know Marcy, it doesn't sound as bad as it is... but something about your father makes me feel somewhat, unsettling for some reason",

I don't know why, but for some reason I kind of agree with Anne. Yesterday, I walked passed his archives and noticed him staring at the wall while talking to himself. I couldn't hear any of his conversation but I did hear the word master.

"To be honest with you, I think I know what you're feeling"

"You do?" She asked.

I nodded my head as I explained to her how father has been acting really strange ever since we arrived to newtopia. Before he wasn't like this at all, he would be playing flipwart, making jokes, take a walk around newtopia, etc.

But now that we're here, it seems like he's a whole different person except he still looks and acts the same.

"Should we be worried?" She said with her eyes showing me concern.

My thoughts became so clouded with thoughts that my head started to spin, but thankfully Anne closed the gap between us and wrapped her arm around my shoulder to keep my balance. At that same time, I realised how much Anne has been caring for me ever since day one.

Back when we were travelling, I would always get myself into trouble without noticing and she was always there to protect me no matter how dangerous it was to get herself killed. She's been so kind and caring for me that I didn't realise it sooner after arriving to newtopia.

"Hey Anne, am I not annoying to you?" I asked.

"Huh? Why are you asking me that?" She replied.

My face changed into sadness as I asked her about how I would always get myself into danger and that she'd always have to be there for me. Her expressions changed into shock before snapping at me to stop thinking myself that way.

"Marcy, you aren't annoying. What makes you think I do?" She asked.

I stayed silent for a bit and explained to her how everyone treated me whenever I was partnered up with them.

"They would tell me that I should stop getting too distracted and start taking care of myself more. But whenever I try to do it, I can't seem to do it"

Sadness overwhelmed me as I gently shoved Anne's arm away from my shoulder. She stared at me, still in utter shock of what she was hearing. I slowly walked back inside only to be stopped when I felt someone's hand grabbing my arm.

I turned around and saw Anne with an angry expression as she grabbed firm of both my shoulders and shouted at me for leaving her just then.

"Are you trying to say you're a bothersome to me? In all my life I have never felt real friendship before. The first time we met, I was so afraid that you may or may not want to be friends with me, but instead you kept making me feel like I was wanted. To think about you being annoying has never crossed my mind because I was so fascinated in everything you did"

Suddenly, my cheeks burned hot as I continued to listen to every word Anne was saying. Not realising sooner, my heart beat faster than usual and I saw how happy Anne was when she said she was glad that she had me as her friend.

"Marcy, you're not annoying. It's your quirk that makes you who you are and that's something you should always keep in your heart"

We stood in front of each other for a moment before tears started pouring out from my eyes. I've never really heard anyone say these stuff to me... ever. The only person that tells me the things I wanted to hear was from Anne.

Ever since the incident of my weird dream, Anne has always been there to help me get through it. To realise that Anne is the first person who truly understands my feelings and weird behaviours; makes me feel so lucky that there is someone for me to go to without hesitation.

Sasha could never do that as well as my father. Not everyone I knew from across amphibia would ever come to me and tell things like Anne does.

"A-Are you sure? You know that I'm clumsy, talkative, careless, kind of selfish when I want something, weird and many other things you can't possibly imagine" I said.

Then, I heard her giggle in front of me and it caused me to stare in shock of what was happening. Why was she laughing at me now?

"If you mean by, kind, brave, smart, love to find new things to study about, curious, knowledgeable. Then you're perfect the way you are" she replied.

The two of us stayed quiet before something in my stomach started to tickle inside. It felt like a swarm of butterflies fluttering around my stomach once I noticed how close we were in front of each other.

It took me a second to realise what was happening. Everything surrounding us turned into slow motion and it was just the two of us in our own small world. No one but us, standing in front of each other while staring at each other's eyes.

It never stops surprising me how every time I look into her eyes, my breath fades away in an instant. Could it be...

That I'm falling in love with her?
