"If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea, I'll sail the world to find you. If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see, I'll be the light to guide you.

"You can go hard or you can go home! You can go hard or you can go home! You can go.. goo.." Krystal walked out of the bathroom drying her hair and stopped in her tracks. She thought she was alone in here and saw Alisha sitting on her bed. Alisha looked deep in thought. Krystal grabbed a rubber band off the desk and flung it at the side of Alisha's head.
"Ouch! What in the world? What was that for?!" Alisha asked in rage. Krystal, suprised by her reaction, yelled "I was just trying to get your attention. Take a chill pill will you?" Krystal tied her long brown curly hair into two pigtails and sat across from Alisha on Alisha's bed. Alisha rubbed her head and looked at Krystal. Krystal looked like she had been crying and had done her relaxation ritual. She was truly sorry about what she said.
"Alisha.."
"Krystal.."
"You first!"
"No, you!"
They laughed at how they couldn't get a word out before the other because they kept starting at the same time. They hugged it all out.
"Alisha I'm truly sorry. I just want to protect you. You're like my only friend here and I don't want to see you get hurt. I shouldn't have said all those things." apologized Krystal.
"No, you were right. I am a complete mess. How can I love three guys?! It's just hurting them in the end. That is why I devised a plan." apologized Alisha.
"Oh no... not one of your plans again.. You know your plans don't always work out." said Krystal worried.
"I know, but this time it is fool proof." assured Alisha. Alisha let go of Krystal and explained the plan to her.
"The plan is to see which one takes me ice skating."
"Ice skating? Why ice skating?" asked Krystal confused.
"Okay.. well... I haven't told anyone this, but ice skating is my getaway place. Like your relaxation rituals, ice skating is my relaxation ritual. I feel free out there on the ice. I thought if someone takes me ice skating on a date, that'll show that they have paid attention to me enough. Besides, I was ice skating today and I saw Daniel. Daniel's already winning by one." Alisha smiles to herself. Krystal let everything sink in before she responded to Alisha. Once she realized what Alisha said, she jumped off the bed in shock.
"Wait wait wait... Did you just say Daniel? You can't be serious. He is all looks and charms. He is no good!" she continues, "I am doing it again, aren't I? I am sorry. I'm butting out now. Just be careful Alisha!" said Krystal sternly. Krystal smacked herself in the head in forgetfulness.
"Crap! I forgot I haven't gotten a gift for Tonyboo! Its 7:00! I need to get a present now!" Alisha smiled mysteriously.
"Don't worry! I know the perfect mall to go to! Let's go!"
*Author's Note*
That's Krystal on the side.
