Three's a Crowd

Day 2 Finale

John's POV

That was an absolute waste of time. I'm so pissed right now. I traveled all the way here, for like 4 hours, to get the shittiest advice I've ever heard.

Flashback

After Nine came back from his conversation with Ella, he seemed to be in a better mood. Danielle had left a couple minutes earlier, so it was just me and Nine in the room. It's better that way. Danielle would tease me nonstop if she knew why I came to see Nine.

" So what seems to be the problem, Johnny boy?" Nine asks, using his awful nickname for me.

"Well, I kinda got my self into a situation,"I say.

"What's new?" Nine says sighing.

I roll my eyes.

" Long story short, I'm dating Marina-," I begin.

" Attaboy," Nine interrupts.

" But Six kissed me... and I enjoyed it," I say, ignoring Nine, " So I need you to tell me what to do. Should I be with Marina, or should I be with Six?"

" Ooh, that's a toughy," Nine says scratching his chin, " Well, I say, Marina, she has the better rack, plus, just ask Five what happens when you get on her bad side."

" Nine, I'm serious, I don't care about all that superficial stuff," I spit.

Nine scoffs and mutters something under his breath that sounds sounds like 'naive'.

" Ok, John, Who do you like better, Marina or Six?" Nine asks.

" Don't you think if I knew the answer to that question, I wouldn't have spent 4 hours flying here?" I snap.

" Ooh, right didn't think about that," he admits, " just do what your heart tells you to do. Or what your eyes tell you cause... you know."

And with that, Nine leaves the room leaving me to ponder over his cliche advice.

" Just do what your heart tells you," I say mockingly, as soon as Nine leaves the room.

Immature? Yes. Do I give a crap? No.

I leave the room, and set out to find Ella. Then I remeber I'm an alien with superpowers, who can locate Ella with my mind.

She's in her dorm.

I make my way to Ella's room. The door's open when I get there so I just walk in.

Ella's sitting on her bed reading quietly to herself.
She looks up from her book as I enter her room.

" You're back to normal," I notice.

" Yeah," Ella says, " Why should I change myself for a boy. Even if that boy is cute.
 
I make throw up gestures to emphasize my point.

" Well, are you ready to go?" I ask.

" Yeah, I think I am," Ella tells me.

She packs up her stuff, while I wait for her at the bay.

" John?" a voice calls behind me.

" Adam," I say, " what's up, man?"

" Just trying to turn the last generation of evil Mogadorian soldiers into upstanding citizens," he says with a sigh, " how about you?"

" I've been getting by," I reply unenthusiasticly.

" Ready to go,John?" Ella asks, appearing out of nowhere.

" Yeah, I guess I am," I respond, " Well I guess I'll see you later, Adam."

He waves goodbye as Ella and I take off into the sky.

It's raining on our flight back, which is a little disappointing because I was looking forward to the nice breeze.

OK I take that back, it's not disappointing flying in the rain, it's horrible. I can't see 2 feet in front of my face, I feel like I'm flying with a weight on my back because of how heavy my clothes are, and after 2 hours of flying, I realized I was going in the complete opposite direction.

We turned around, and got back to the base within the next couple hours. 

I immediately headed to my room to avoid any interaction with Six or Marina. I walk into my room and stop suddenly. Marina is sitting on my bed, reading my notebook.

" What are you doing?" I ask, startling her.

" John," she gasps, " you scared me."

" What are you doing?" I repeat through clenched teeth.

" Just a little bit of reading," she says laughing nervously.

I use my telekinesis to rip my notebook out of Marina's hands.

" John, I'm sorry," she apologizes, " I just wanted to see if you had written anything about Six in here. But then I saw that it was all about me. I love them John."

I can't believe what I'm hearing. She actually wants to talk about the stuff she saw while INVADING my privacy.

" Get out," I say trying to keep my cool.

" But John-," she begins.

" GET OUT," I yell. 

She jumps at the sudden change in my voice, but leaves anyway.

I collapse onto my bed, and I fall asleep.

A/N
