"Did you just say, Minnie?" I asked, gobsmacked, watching the scene unfold in front of me.

Kyle stood completely still, his mouth slightly agape. The dark haired girl ran towards us, tears streaming down her face.

Just as she approached us, she wiped her face with the tips of her fingers, a smile on her face.

"I can't believe it's you, Kyle." She murmered, keeping her eyes on Kyle's face.

"Minnie?" Kyle repeated, much quieter than the first time.

His face transforming into a look of admiration and affection.

"Yes, yes it's me. I'm back. I've missed you." Minnie smiled, clapping her hands before opening her arms.

"No." Kyle mumbled, finally closing his mouth "No."

"W-what do you mean?" Minnie stuttered, a frown appearing on her angelic face.

She's beautiful. Her hair, her skin, her eyes, her voice...everything.

"You're asking me what I mean?! Minartica, you left me for about two years, letting me think you were dead; and now you think just 'cause you're back, everyone will welcome you with open arms?!" Kyle suddenly shouted, his face and tone transforming into anger and disappointment.

Minnie flinched. Maybe it was because of the tone of his voice, but she looked as if it was something else that bothered her.

Minartica?

Flashback-

"I feel so bad for Luke, it's me that caused the trouble between those brothers and now even Dylan and Mark don't hang out with him anymore." I sighed to Lucy, nodding over towards the two groups.

"You should be. You're like Minartica all over again." Ariana smirked, popping into our view causing Lucy's face drop.

"Minartica?" I mumbled to myself "Is that a country?"

That name sounds so familiar.

"Omg Kyle hasn't told you about her yet? He must not have enough trust in you to tell you then. Rejection hurts doesn't it Sieara?" Ariana smirked, placing a hand on her hip.

End of Flashback

Minartica! Her full name must be Minartica, right?

Minnie, does sound quite similar to Minartica, now that I think about it.

"I-I know and I have a good reason, and I'm going to tell you, but I would rather we talk about this...privately." Minartica stated, directing her attention to me.

"Oh, well nice to meet you too Minartica." I smiled tightly, through clenched teeth.

"Oh yes, I'm sorry for being disrespectful. I'm just a little jet-lagged so excuse my rudeness." She smiled slightly, holding her hand out to me "I can see you already know my name, yours is?"

"Sieara. And yeah nice name." I replied, shaking her hand before retreating quickly.

Even her hands were smooth. Jheez, does this girl have any flaws. Maybe she has lice or some infection on her foot. Even though I highly doubt that.

"Umm...just out of curiosity, who are you?" She asked, running her hands up and down her arms.

I guess I can say I'm his friend but I kinda want her to back off a little and let her know he's my hopefully almost-boyfriend.
