Chapter Seven:

Tristan’s POV:

                Alahya was so nice. We spent all the time as possible together doing crazy stuff. Sure we were adults, but did we really care?! We became close friends and she, finally, shared her Doritos with me. When she wasn’t mad, she was actually pretty lovable.

                But the weird thing was that every time our eyes met, I know that we had some kind of connection. I don’t know if she felt this connection. She has to feel it. I mean, wasn’t it obvious? Well, it certainly was for me. Or was I getting too overwhelmed? Maybe Ebony’s disappearance was driving me crazy? Maybe it made me want her love again. Could it be possible that Alahya could give me the same quantity of love?

                What the heck?! I’m not actually thinking of Alahya that way...right? And if I am, why am I thinking that way? She’s just my friend, right? I’ve only known her for a month, and now I want her as my girlfriend? Well, man, it’s about time!

Okay, who said that?

Me, your conscience!

My what?

CONSCIENCE!

Uh, why are you speaking to me?

I’m here to help you, dummy.

But... you’re my conscience! You’re in my mind!

Doesn’t matter, okay? Just do what I say, idiot!

But...if I do what you say... aren’t I doing what I say?

Oh, God! You seriously are annoying!

Well, can’t you explain –?

SHUT UP, OKAY?! JUST DO WHAT I SAY AND DON’T ASK ANYTHING, GOT IT?!

Okay, okay. Sheesh!

Look, I know you’ve been alone for a while. And I know you might be thinking that you need help with this plan. Why don’t you just tell her your secret and ask to help you? I mean, she’ll believe you; you’re her friend.

Okay, first: she doesn’t even believe that I can take a relationship seriously!

Then, why don’t you show her?

Excuse me, what?!

Well, you wanted her to be more than just your friend...right?

Well....sure. But, does she like me the way I like her?

Psh, heck if I know! I’m your mind; I know what you know... nothing else. I’m not one of those snobby cheerleaders who know everything!

Wow, then...you really suck.

Dude, you can’t wait for her to actually tell you that she likes you! I mean, you’re the man! Aren’t you supposed to do the first move?!

Would you shut up?!

No! Want to know why?

I’d rather skip –

Shut up! I won’t shut up because I’m right! And when I’m right; I’m always right.

Oh, God. I’m starting to have a headache.

Hear me up now! I’m trying to help you. Look, you have to tell her how you really feel. Why? Because then you’ll know if she likes you back, you’ll gain her trust and then have a serious relationship.
