The Mind Trap.

Crushing.

My head pulsed with anger but happiness at the same time. For what I still don't want to know but I have an idea.

"Thanks." He said, his eyes lighting up like a bulb, "But I need some advice." He continued on.

I glared at him, clenching my jaw tightly but I eventually nodded for him to continue even though I didn't wanted him to.

"Okay, well I'm talking about asking her out-" he paused, inhaling a deep breath.

Impatience filled my insides, a mixture of different feelings I barely recognized boiling in my stomach, "And?" I asked. Patience is not my strength.

"And I want your advice on how I should do it." He bend his head down, voice fading fast. His sentence blew the air out off my lungs, finding it hard to breathe.

"Okay." I said bluntly, but I can't mess this up because Hunter will hate me if she knew I had a part in this.

I sucked in deep breath before answering back," Well-" I paused, taping my chin, thinking of something.

"Tomorrow, I'll take her out to.... somewhere and I'll bring her back by five in the afternoon. You're going to ask her out on the date then." I said, the words falling out of my mouth. The anger still bubbled but I tried to calm it down by thinking about happy thoughts.

Attack some guy, kill that guy, that guy is Toby.

"And what am I supposed to do?" He questioned, his voice coming out in distress.

"I don't know. Figure it out. You got a brain, use it." I grunted.

"Ugh! Fine!" Toby yelled in his deep voice. I rolled my eyes at his stubborn behaviour.

"It's you who want her not me." The lies dripping off my tongue. I didn't understand my feelings but I know I want her. She's perfection.

"So. Who was it?" He asked, his eyes lighting up in amusement.

I cleared my throat, hurriedly thinking about a name," Jessica." I murmured with not one emotion hinting in my voice.

"Jessica? Really? And your blushing because of her." He said with a smirk dawning on his face.

I placed my hand on my cheeks. I could feel the heat radiating from my skin," um.....no." I said, trying to hide my expression.

My cheeks were obviously burning off because of Hunter. I guess I like her.

*******

"Hey Hunter!" I yelled from the kitchen, my voice blasting across the room.

"Yes!" She answered. I had an uneasy feeling growing up my neck.

"Get ready. We're going out." I said walking towards our bedroom. I leaned against the door frame, hands crossed over my chest.

I was surprised when I saw that she was already ready," Lana told me to get ready...so I did. How do I look?" She questioned softly, watching into her body length mirror before turning to me.

I was stunned by her beauty. She's wearing black jeans paired with black, matching flats and finished off with a 'Pink' varsity long sleeve jersey that's hinted with purple and white. But what caught me off guard was her makeup. Hunter? Makeup? That doesn't sound right, at all. She never wears makeup. It was softly brushed on. Shining lips that's matching her curled hair which is falling over her shoulders and along her back.

"Um...you um....why the makeup?" I asked, my voice felt stuck in my throat. I felt like someone was choking me.

I wanted to tell her how beautiful she looks but I couldn't get it out of me.

"Lana said so." She said, her cheeks turning a light shade of red. Her eyes turned from forest green to light green, a gorgeous shade.

Oh stop it Kaleb. She's never going to be yours. She's Toby's now.

"Okay, let's go I guess." I said just above a whisper. She nodded but I didn't miss the frown that formed amongst her face. My heart broke into a million pieces, I wanted her but could never have her.

You have to move on Kaleb, stop!

I turned around, heading for the front door. Her shoes made a clapping sound against the wooden flooring.

Feelings can be a b****.  Whoa there tiger, chill.

We both headed towards the parking lot in silence. Neither of us felt the need to break the silence.

Ok where am I going to take her? Cinema, Mall, beach or Park. Wait no, no park. Nothing romantic. I want her to not like me by the end of today, if she even does. I guess it's the Mall, wait the museum. She loves art.

I got into the driver's seat while she gets into the passenger seat, we both got buckled into our seats before I started the car.

The engine roared to life, grumbling before we pulled out of the parking lot.

Hunter sat in her seat, staring at the tall, glass buildings that we passed by, watching aimlessly at the world around us. Her hand was tucked under her chin, supporting her head while her elbow rested on the hand rest of the door.

Her eyes were now turning black. Wait does Hunter eyes tell her emotions?

I thought back to a few minutes again in the apartment, her eyes were light green when she was happy or excited and how it's black. Is she depressed or thinking?

"Hey, you okay?" I softly questioned, desperate for an answer.

"Yeah." She said bluntly. Okay something is definitely wrong with her.

"Stop lying." I murmured.

"I'm not. If I said yeah then that means I'm okay." She hissed at me, turning her head to watch me. I didn't bother to make eye contact with her. There wasn't a point. I was driving and I don't want to die so let's just focus on the road.

An awkward silence fell upon us once again, building a wall between both of us. She was burning holes into my face, her eyes were still stuck on me.

I turned my head looking at her," If you have a problem just say." I murmured, my voice came out harsh.

"You want to know what's my problem? My problem is you!" She yelled, bursting my ears off.

Ouch, that one hurt. A pain immediately formed in my chest, aching, not wanting to stop.
