Biana POV

It was starting to get late, so I called everyone over and we all walked back to Everglen together. Dex's soft hands were in mine the whole way there, and I couldn't help my but blush.

Dex made me feel something. Something I've never felt for any other guy before. The second I saw Dex, I liked him. But I tried my hardest to get that out of my head. Dex hated the Vackers, for good reason. I never would have thought he would like me. Let alone if things would work between us.

So I decided to like Keefe instead. Not that I don't think Keefe is cute, it's just that he just a temporary crush. A... Replacement... For the one I really wanted.

But fast forward to now, and here we are. Dex and I are dating. Like, ACTUALLY DATING. It seems so crazy to say that. And on top of that SOKEEFE IS OFFICAL. And LYLIE IS OFFICAL. AND... There's something really suspicious going on between my brother and Marella. I'm gonna have to ask him about that later when everyone leaves.

We finally arrived back at around 5:00 pm. Fitz, Dex, Marella, and I all collapsed on the couch, while Tam, Linh, Wylie, Sophie, and Keefe all either sat on the floor or used so extra bean bag chairs lying around.

I sighed, "That was amazing."

Everyone nodded, clearly too tired to speak, "You guys can head home now, if you want," I suggested.

"Mhm-Kay," Sophie said, taking hold of her home crystal.

"I'll take Sophie home," Keefe volunteered. Sophie smiled sweetly at him and said softly,

"That would be great."

They joined hands and then disappeared in a shower of sparkles. One by one everyone left, until it was just Fitz and I on the couch.

"You like her, don't you?" I said, wondering if he would catch on that I was asking about Marella.

"What?"

"Marella," I explained, "You like her."

Fitz sighed and leaned his head on the back of the couch, "I don't like her, Biana," He paused, "I love her."

My mouth dropped open and I turned to look at him. He had this goofy smile on his face and was blushing.

"Does she know you... Um... Love her?" I asked, intrigued.

"Yeah. She loves me back too," He paused again, "The thing is Biana, we're dating. But I'm not sure if Marella wants anyone to know that we're dating yet, so please just keep this between us. I don't want to hurt her," He whispered the last part.

"Okay, okay, FINE. I'll keep it a secret. BUT YOU GUYS ARE DATING?!" I squealed, "THAT IS SO CUTE!" 

FARELLA IS OFFICIAL! I never would have thought my brother would find someone that could actually tolerate him, let alone want to be with him! But now that I think about it, Fitz and Marella were a perfect match. Their personalities just understand each other.

Fitz smiled, his face growing more red, "You really won't tell anyone?" Fitz asked.

"Promise," I reassured. Maybe it was better if Marella and Fitz had some time to grow their relationship further before they just went off and told the group. Which makes perfect since, I mean, it would have been nice to wait to tell the group with Dex. But I don't mind the way it is right now either.

"Welp, I'm gonna go get changed cause my clothes are super dirty, how about you hail Marella?" I suggested, "I bet she's dying to talk to you."

Fitz groaned, "You're the most annoying sister in the world," But I could see the faint smile on his lips as he said it.

"Love you too," I winked. Then I left for my room.
