I saw their distusting faces. They were looking down on me. "Get up!" the second-mode encouraged me. My legs couldn't move an inch. They were like frozen ice. I just wanted to go home and lock myself in my room forever. That little moment felt like an eternity. I fell into the black hole I've been digging to myself.

Then I saw the light again. Out of nowhere. An arm reached out for me and pulled me up from the dark loneliness. I was back to the reality and stood right next to Devon.

"Stop it. Don't touch my girl." His voice said. He sounded really mad. At first all the girls ecxept of the leader got flattered that the most handsome boy in school talked to them, but they only understood what he just said when he gave him an evil glare and got scared. I felt safe. I was right beside Devon and he had put his hand on my waist. I finally dared to do something.

"What's up? You go against me with five more girls and attack me? Talk about going loooow down." I grinned. The leader looked at me and glared at me as if I am talking shit. Then I finally found it. Me. I felt when my muscles tightened into a down-looking smile.

"You'll never take my throne." She got scared at that moment and even got shivers.  The girls scattered into different directions and before I knew it they were all gone. Only that second I understood what Devon had said.

"Stop it. Dont touch my giiiiirl." my blondie mode teased me. I felt some blush running into my face. Then I thought about how I suddenly found my real self again. And I could show it to others. How? Then I thought about it. Really hard. When Devon showed up. I've noticed stuff lately. He can drag out my real self whenever he wants, even if I want it or not. Devon is the case. That's good. Because at that moment I wanted to just be me. To be able to show others the real me whenever I want. I'll do that. I'll definitely fulfill my task.

"Are you alright?" he suddenly asked. I jumped out of the nervousness. Again I got reminded of what he said and blushed. "Y-Yess!" I said bluntly. He smiled but it toned down fast efter some seconds. His face got frustrated and mad. He suddenly hugged me. My eyes were wide open.

"Why didn't you do anything?!" he snapped. "What if I wouldn't be there?!" he continued talking about what could have happened if he wasn't there. The more he said, the more I smiled. He was worried. I pushed him away even though I didn't want to.

"Thank you Devon." He could tell how happy I was and smiled back at me.

............................................................................

But. Now I realised the consequences of him dragging out the real me. He'll make everyone take away my throne from me. Okay. I got it. My goal is to be able to show everyone the real me(if I want to). But I want to keep my switches. Everyone of them is actually like a part of me. I love them all. So now... I guess all I can do is to ignore Devon. I don't want him to blow my cover. Even though I don't want to do that it's for my sake.

.............................................................................

I can't do this anymore!!!!!

No, really. It's hard ignoring Devon but in some way I managed. Though I feel so awful. The bell rang and I ran out of the classrom. Since this morning I've ignored Devon about 8 times. There was one time he asked me about a question(He sits beside me), some other was when he helped me pick up the eraser I dropped. And I didn't say thanks! I didn't even look at him, talk about rude huh? Oh, I've started becoming like the second-mode me. And of course he understood that something was wrong and stood at the gate waiting for me. I tried hiding behind Mia without results.

When he tried approaching me I ran away.

.............................................................................

Seriously. I feel like a horrible person. I couldn't even dance properly yesterday because of the guilt I was feeling. Isn't there another way out of this?

"Hello babe." Lake said as usual. I pushed him away smiling.

"Lookie, but no touchie!" I said and he got dissapointed as always.

"Come on babe." he tried to convince me.

"What?" I had that stupid tone. He looked at the floor.

"I've tried for years, you know."

"And I've said stop for years, you know." That shut him up but I got some guilt after it. Though it can't be compared to the guilt I feel to Devon.

I was surprised that Devon didn't approach me at all today. Maybe he got the hang of it. But he's still my childhoodfriend and I still hadn't cleared the guilty feelings. I went through the gate and kissed Mia goodbye.

I started approaching my house and started the transformation as usual. When I was done I dropped my balance, falling into the bush. But I wasn't the one losing balance, there was someone pulling me in.
