VIII:Cupid Screwed Up.

Cora was currently alone in their dorm house while April had work and Precious was at collage. She had been pretty stressed lately with the whole Dream is Clay thing so she decided to go for a walk. The girl always loved going on walks, especially to clear her mind.

So here she was, getting ready to go out. She wore a Black crewneck and a pleated skirt with some black fishnet tights underneath. She put on some boots and grabbed her copy of the house keys. She locked the door on her way out and started walking.

As she was walking she grabbed her headset and connected it to her phone to start some music. She found herself walking to the park and as she was walking, she couldn't help but think about what she found out not to long ago.

That he was the Dreamwastaken. The person she has been looking up to since 2019.

Dream means alot to her. So when she found out about this. She couldnt stop thinking about it. She couldn't stop thinking about him. The fact that she might be starting to fall in love with him. Her idol. Hell, who was she kidding? She's already fallen head over heels for him. She was planning to talk to him about it, but not now. She's already realised that she's fallen in love with him. But she didn't wanna fall in love again. Not after what happened last time. Not after the fact that she was forced to fall in love with Derick in college. She never wanted to fall in love after'the incident'. No, she didn't wanna think that she was in love with someone yet it turns out she was just forced into it and mentally abused by the person she thought she was in love with. So she decided to run away from it.

But she really thinks that Clay is a good guy. Not Dream, Clay. Clay cares, Clay remembers all the little things she does. Clay remembers that when she gets anxious, she gets quiet. Clay remembers the vow she made to herself about not shouting. Clay remembers it all.

Clay's POV!

I was laying on my bed. Just thinking about her, about Cora. The constant paranoia that comes to me thinking that she has already found out and is planning to use me for the money. She is a nice girl. She actually cares, and she has prettiest eyes  and smiles. Her hair falls down so perfectly. She was perfect. That when i realised, I like her. Not in a friend way, not in a fan way. But I actually like her—love her.  I sit up abruptly and make my way to our kitchen to grab a glass of water. As i hold the water and lean on the counter, i zone out.

"Hello? Clay? CLAY. DREAM!" George's british accent runs through my ears.

"Oh, uh. Sorry zoned out." I reply

"Huh. Thinking about your new girlfriend?" George says in a mocking tone.

"She's not my girlfriend, George. I just- i dont know, ok? I dont know whats happening to me. i love her. But i hate it. Because what if she uses me?"

"Dude, she's not gonna use you."

"Yeah but you don't know that!"

"Just chill out, maybe she actually has good intentions. I know you're still scared about what happened last time with Brooklyn, but Cora isn't Brooklyn! She's Cora."

"I know -just, im just gonna go." I walk up the stairs to my room and think about going on another date with her.
