****PATRICIAS P.O.V****

He seemed distant when I was talking to him. Maybe it was because of my mindless rambling, maybe it was because of the new girl. I could see her behind him, staring off into the distance.

'I wish he liked me like that.'

I had known him since he had come here, and I felt the same feelings as he felt towards the strawberry. I knew that my feelings for him weren't as strong, but needless to say, I did have feelings for him. It's hard living in this world- living as a mindless, fleshy, organism- and I wish I wasn't in it, but sadly, this was my fate, my destiny. I had accepted the fact that I was to be eaten, but I had been lucky. I have survived here for 12 fruit years, which is a miracle.

I realise now, that even for a fruit like me, it can be hard for all us single ladies. I aspire to dance, to sing, to do whatever I please, but the thought of leaving Benny is unbearable. I mean yes I had a crush on him, there's no denying that, but our bond through friendship is more.

"Patricia?"

I snap out of my thoughts, and realise he had been staring at me the whole time. I could tell he didn't know what I was thinking, because of the confusion in my voice. I have already been told that it's hard to read me, and duh, it's because I have no sense of emotion, even though I have this feeling for Benny.

" Yeah, sorry Benny. You can go and talk to Laquisha again, I need to have some alone time."

"Oh-ok.. See you around Patricia!"

I watched Benny turn around. Us fruit, we don't turn our bodies around, we just move our non-existent faces. I regret ending the conversation, to be quite honest, but I needed to be alone. I wanted to think things through, to think ahead. For my future.
