33. Cupid and Psyche 

I fell in love the way you fall asleep...slowly and then all at once...  -John Green

Psyche P.O.V

I held my head down as I made my way to the locker. Not entirely out of my ever-lasting shyness, but mostly because thoughts of yesterday were clouded in my head.

My myster- I mean, Andrew didn't show up yesterday. A Whole bunch of emotions rushed through me. Questions too.

Was it because I found out who he was? Was it because this was all just a joke? Was it a prank to get some tiny-nobody to sleep with someone and make her think someone actually loved her?

Come on, Phoebe, that wouldn't happen. No one's that cruel. My hands clutched my bag tightly, my knuckles turning white.

After six continuous nights- the best nights of my life- it just ended. Maybe he'll come back tonight. Maybe something happened yesterday so he couldn't make it.

Stop thinking about Andrew, gosh.

He said he loved me, and I believed him. Even though I had no idea who he was, I still believed him. The whole thing was pretty crazy but, that didn't matter.

Ugh, i'm so screwed.

As I thought about my gray-eyed 'Mystery-Man', I bumped into someone, not paying attention to where I was going.

A girl with short dark hair glared at me with her blue eyes that were framed with way too long lashes. "Watch it." She spat at me and made her way down the hallway.

"Sorry." I mumbled, continuing. I just need to focus on this math test. Even though I transferred not to long ago, graduation was still less than a month away. When I got to my locker, I quickly put in the combination.

As I reached for my books a small paper fell to my feet. I stared at it curiously before bending down to pick it up. It had my name on it, written in a pretty font.

Okay, this is interesting.

I looked around the hallway...for no particular reason. I guess trying to find the writer of this note, as if he were leaning against the wall or something.

Just read it already.

I unfolded the paper and read the message.

It is often in the darkest skies, that we see the brightest stars...Meet me in the library,free period...

Xoxo, Yours Truly

I smiled at the message. I knew exactly who it was from. I held the message tightly in my hand as I closed my locker. I wonder what he wants to talk about.

I had to purse my lips from grinning even wider. This all was very crazy. I remembered my conversation with Arden, Nikki, and Armani.

They were right, sometimes crazy isn't bad at all.

However, I couldn't help but notice how strange they were. They were normal teenage girls and it felt nice to have a group of people be so kind to me, however, there was something weird about them.

They all seemed so...passionate and...ardent about the most strongest things.

Nikki was super confident and determined about everything she did. Super bound on winning...all of the time. All the time.

Armani was a total feminist. She always got worked up when it came to women being compared to men. I applaud her for that, I feel like she's going to do some pretty interesting things in the future.
