description: Kit and Philip (from my story since.) finally meet. It doesn't go great... {pic does not represent the characters appearances}

KIT'S POV
Perrin had told me that Philip and I were opposites, that he was the light and I was the dark. I can see that for myself now. Even outside of our hair, we are different. His light blonde hair drastically contrasts with my dark black hair and I can already hear his smug voice.
"Hey I asked you a question!" Philip says to me. Guess I did hear his smug voice.
"I'm waiting on Perrin," I say raising my head so that I can look him in the eye. My response makes him angry,
"Oh hell no. There is no way you are coming with us to visit Alex's grave."
That stings. What kind of angel says that to someone else? I decide to stay strong,
"I was invited and I want to go."
"If I had to choose between walking under a ladder and having it fall on top of me and hanging out with you, I would chose the former."
"I would chose the ladder," I retort back. Philip struggles not to laugh but his face breaks and he chuckles,
"I'll give it to you, that was pretty good."
"What's with all the aggression towards me?"
"It was your idea for her to go back right?" I nod,
"Philip, I just want her to try and keep her life moving. It never works to swim against the current."
"I always hated Gatsby...," he mutters,
"Why do you even care?"
I'd been thinking about that a lot recently. I had watched Alex and Perrin back when he was alive simply because it was something to do in class. They were interesting while Chemistry was not. Once I formally met Perrin, I was nice to her to help her gain her confidence back, but then I started to question my intentions. I thought about Perrin a lot when I wasn't with her. I finally respond,
"Because I care about Perrin."
At that moment Perrin walks out of her dorm. She must have overheard because she catches my eye and immediately looks down and blushes. I shoot a "I'm better than you" face at Philip and chose to let him think whatever he wants. Right now, I'm going to be there for my Perrin.
"That's the first time you've said my name right."
"I have no clue what you are talking about, Patriot."
