KOTLC ~ Journey of My Life

Biana's POV

I was in the middle of a nightmare, feeling the horror I had once felt when the Council announced that Sophie and Dex were dead.

I woke up full of sweat, and, not wanting to relive the nightmares, looked around to see if Sophie was awake. To my surprise, her bed was empty, and her shoes were nowhere to be found.

Just then, I heard the door slowly creak open, and I saw Sophie sneak in. She seemed startled to see me at first, but quickly regained her composure and motioned me to sit on her bed.

In a hushed voice, she told me that she overheard Mr Forkle talking about a mission he had for us (me, Sophie, Fitz, Keefe, Dex, Tam and Linh) We were both equally excited as this would be the first mission they assigned us to.

"Let's tell Linh! She would want to know too!" Sophie suggested. We quickly scrambled to Linh's bed and shook her lightly. She rolled over snd mumbled something about not getting enough sleep (which I fully understand) as she unwillingly sat up on her bed.

Me, being the enthusiatic person I am, immediately took up the job to fill in Linh with the details Sophie heard. Her eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing Sophie's accident findings, and she joined up to rejoice finally getting to go on a mission.

Just as we were partying away in the night (just kidding, we were just celabrating a little bit and quietly of course) , a thought entered my mind : should we let the boys know about the mission or let them find out themselves tomorrow? I voiced out my thoughts, and we all fell silent, lost in our own thoughts, debating whether to tell them or not.

At last, we came to a decision, and Sophie used her Telepath abilities to tell Fitz everything and ask him to explain it to the others. I was curious about his reaction, but Sophie said that her lips were sealed. Must have been the work of my stupid brother. Everyone (except my oblivious brother) knew that Sophie liked him for it was pretty obvious. So it would be natural that Sophie promise to keep his reaction a secret.

That night I could not fall asleep, clearly over-excited about the mission. I started fantasizing the mission, and once I thought of Keefe, my cheeks started burning. I had liked him since young, but I don't think he likes anyone, so I decided to keep my feelings a secret. A secret that only my brother, Sophie and Linh know (my brother 'cause he annoyed the hell out of me when I refused to tell him my crush, and Sophie and Linh because they are my best friends)

Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep...
