✰*ೃ Chase's Pov ✰*ೃ
I was waiting for Leo. I walked around the academy looking for him but I couldn't find him.
When I walk through the halls I end up passing Blake, she looks at me and I look at her and I feel a shiver all over me. She holds the notebook in her hands and opens her mouth slightly, searching for words.
"Hi" I say "Hi" she responds in an anxious tone "Uh Hello" I say-- Hello? how stupid-- she smiles "Hello" she sighs.
She bites her lip, hugging the notebook tightly. Since that "Moment" we had a few days ago. Every gesture, every look, every expression of hers makes me believe even more that maybe she feels something for me.
Or not and I'm deluding myself. But everything points to that and that leaves me confused, because at the same time I think it's incredible, like the best thing that could happen to me. This is a problem, a big problem.
"Have ou seen Leo?" I ask. She melts a smile at me "I think he went to Handsome Creek" she says dreamily. I frown instantly "I-i mena Mission Creek" She puts her hand to her forehead-- and then you see my point.
I blush lightly-- She thinks I'm handsome, tho-- I shake my head "Why?" I ask "he didn't tell me" she shrugs.

Handsome what? Oh God. He must think I'm a fool. Why can't I act normal around him? I know my feelings interfere but do they have to be so extravagant?
"He's late for training," he says, I kind of ignore the subject. I try to focus on maintaining my posture but in the last few days scenarios won't leave my head.
Scenarios in which that "Moment" I had with him a few days ago ended differently. I've never felt this way, Mom. I can't stop thinking about what it would be like if he had kissed me. Or what it would be like to kiss him. Or how I want to kiss him.
It's a strange and real feeling that I never thought I would deal with. But while it's fun to imagine, it's a waste of time. He would never see me as more than a silly student.
It's a distant dream, But I would do anything to achieve it.

"Well, you could try calling him," she suggests. I feel my face flush as I give her a soft look. I nod in understanding, "Good idea," and walk past her.
As I walk past her her gaze locks on mine. I feel a tension, this time it's real. This time I'm sure there's something between us.
I keep my eyes on her until she's out of my field of vision. Once I focus back on my way to the common area a smile lights up my face.
Halfway there I meet Adam and Bree "Hey have you seen Leo?" Adam asks "I'm going to sort this out" I say as we walk in the common area and see Douglas.
"Douglas, have you seen Leo? He's late for training." Bree asks "Why don't you just call him?" Douglas suggests as I walk over to a console Adam groans.
"Ugh, too much work. Let's just kick him out of the academy." He says.
I open a video call with Leo on the screen "Hello." He answers.
"Leo, what are you doing back in Mission Creek? You're supposed to be here for training." I say "Ugh I knew Lakey was going to rat me out. She can't keep secrets from her favorite mentor" Leo scoffs and I roll my eyes.
Adam looks at me stunned. "I thought I was her favorite mentor," he says. I frown.
"Anyway...sorry, I had to pop back and deal with a little situation. Janelle missed me. You ladies can be so needy." Leo's eyes widen. I bet she threatened to break up with him.
