FEARLESS (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 3

"I know you have strange dreams, but you never accually told me What the dreams are about?" Jem asked.

The dream... Thinking about it makes me tremble, I stumbled to the closest chair in my bedroom and plopped down before I fell down.

Sweat stung my eyes and I wiped my face on my shirt. Maybe I'm over reacting too much. It was just a dream with no meaning or was it? Then why did I shudder when Jem asked me about the dream? I thought to myself.

My hands clutched my thighs and I looked at the floor, then back at him. I swallowed and said "You don't want to know what happend."

He'd ask me what my dream was about, it was the same old. So, there was no point in bringing back those memorises.

"How did the girl looked like? Did she say anything to you?" He questioned then, his eyes widen and he looked like he regretted saying that.

I froze, just as the information pulsed into my head. He knew about that girl? How? My mouth gape open.

My face must have shown horror. Because he said,"I'm sorry I shouldn't have-" I cut him off.

"ho- how? . . . Do you know, abou- about her?"

He stuggled. It took a while to anwser, like he might say something wrong.

"Y-you mumbled it in you're sleep?" He shrugged taking this as a joke.

I, what? I told him? When did I do that. I did have this nightmare every night but I don't remeber telling him.

I was about  to say something when . . .

"Have you got plans for tommorow?-" giving me a wolfish smile "want to go somewhere?" he quickly changed the topic.

Hmmm.... That's werid? why would he bring the girl up? And quickly change it. It's like he knew something. What? His my friend, what is wrong with me?! Am I going crazy? . I quickly dismissed the thought

Anyways, did he ask me out? Like a date?!

Friends don't go on a date, My inner voice said.

I picked up my courage to ask ". . . Ar- I mean, We'r going on a date? And No, I haven't got any plans for tommorrow, yet." I asked, shuttering like I was nervous. A part of me wanted him to say Yes, whereas other part of me said No - we were friends and have been friends ever since . . . Hm, I can't really remenber from when but  I'm pretty sure it was for a long time.

As I was staring at him and running through all the posible scenarios, he suddenly jerked his head to move his hair; it caught the light and the dark gleam. His hair itself was like deep black, each thread falling perfectly, weaving together into curls that framed his face. We been friends since a while now.

"No, I mean yes if you want-" the next part he said made my heartache and my eyes stung but I quickly recoverd "-but you're like my sister." I thought I saw misery in his aquamarine eyes. Which were clear, piercing blue-green and very striking. You could see the golden yellow to blue in the iris. His eyes tend to resemble the clear tropical seas of the Pacific, and that misery went, when I glanced back his eyes were neutrul.

He just . . . No, not friend-zoned, but sister-zoned me. Is that even a word? Sister zone? I thought to myself. Maybe...- I tried to dismiss the thought in my head -he has, someone else. Maybe there's someone else out there he likes. But if there was, he would have told me. Haven't we always told each other our deepest secrets?

Stupid of me to get MY hopes high I thought. Yes, we are friends, nothing more. Never were and never will be.

I just laughed it off, I didn't really have anything to say. Anyways what would I say? I knew we were friends and stuff, it wasn't like I could do something about it. What was I even thinking, Nevermind.

"So, want to do one on one, swordfighting tommorow? I bet I'll beat you this time, you just got lucky last time." He said smugly, and it was all I wanted to hear since I did want to beat this guy up, for varies reason but more importantly, I liked kicking ass and he was the only person who I could do that to.

"Sure, and lucky? Pft. As if, but we'll soon find out our selves about that." I replied and smirked.

Oh yes Jem, you'r so going to pay for sister-zoning me, you better watch out, because here Zarin Daleson comes!
