Chapter 8
I walk straight to bed. I don’t care if it’s group 2’s turn. Besides, by the looks of things, it isn’t. I get underneath the covers as warmth embraces me in a heavenly sensation. I think of David’s kiss. The way his lips felt against mine, the emotions that were running through me. Did he just admit that he had feelings for me or did I misunderstand? Why would he kiss me though? I actually start thinking that maybe I had invented the whole thing, that the kiss never happened. That our lips never met. It’s ridiculous because I know it did happen. I then think of the way Trent can only talk to me. I ponder this through and come to the conclusion that it isn’t true. He’s probably suffering from a head injury. He thinks he can only talk to me but if he wanted to and really tried, he can talk to anyone. Besides, you can’t get hit in the head with steel like that and be completely harm free. These are the last thoughts I have before I glide off into the world of my dreams…
Tonight, I dream the same dream I dreamt before the shuttle. The one where I’m in a strange palace-like room and I fall, or get pushes, outside the window into a weird portal or vortex…
Five days go pass. I avoid David as much as possible and I never speak to him. Nothing very strange happens and nothing is mentioned about our change in course. I’m guessing it’s been fixed; they would tell us if it hadn’t. Yet the way David acted when he found out we were headed in a complete direction made me think it was difficult to undo.
So it’s our 6th day in space and I am on my way to the girls bedrooms for my sleep shift when David runs up to me from a different corridor.
“Hey,” he says, in his usual sexy tone, “I’ve been meaning to talk you, you know, about the kiss.” Just that is enough to make me feel awkward.
“Look, I know that it was very uncalled for and I’m sorry. I don’t know what I was thinking. The truth is, I love you. But only as a sister or a good friend.” In a way, I’m glad he has confronted me to tell me this. It only makes me realise that I feel the same way. I smile in a friendly manner.
“David, I feel exactly the same way!” I half laugh to him. He hugs me around my arms.
“Friends?” he asks, I can’t see his face but I can tell he’s smiling.
“Friends,” Just as we pull away, the ground starts rumbling in a very frightful way and the sound of a motor gets louder and louder. David looks me in the eye, his eyes filled with worry. He grabs my hand in his and we both run to the control room, a bunch of people coming out of rooms and hallways running around us, headed the same direction. It’s not long till red lights flash along the ceilings and a loud alarm rings around the space ship.
