I grin as Gregor walks away. I realize that he has probably done this almost everyday for the last four years.
I hurry to catch up with him.
The hood of my sweatshirt bounces agianst my head, threatening to fall off and reveal my silver hair.
As I catch up with him I notice how much he has changed from the last two years. He has gotten taller -a lot taller. His hair has grown shaggy -like he doesn't care about what he looks like. There is also something different about him, but I cant place it.
I grab his arm so he turns and looks at me.
"Gregor?," I say, mainly for his benefit, not mine.
"Wait, Luxa?!," His eyes study my face, as if thinking he's just imagining it.
"Gregor, its me. But -"
"Luxa! Its really you! I cant believe it! Why are you here?! Wait, why are you here? Did something happen to Aurora? Is she hur-"
Letting go of his arm, I slap him across the face.
"Gregor! Shut up and listen! There is trouble in the Underland. The rats are forming an alliance with the fliers and the crawlers. And... there is a prophecy about you." I say solemnly.
I study his face and realize what is different about him. His past has scarred him. He's depressed, lonely.
The smile returns to my face.
"Oh Gregor, I missed you so greatly." I say, touching his arm. He jerks away quickly.
"I see how it is. You just come up here for the FIRST time and ask for my help. Well you know what I thought you camep here because you missed me to much and because you cared about me. Obviously I was wrong! If all you guys are gonna do is use me, then count out. Besides, according to your stupid Sandwich guy I'm supposed to be dead. SO COUNT ME OUT!" he says stomping off.
