I shifted in bed, realizing Kiah was now gone. Even though I know there's something about her I can't trust I also can't seem to shake her. She's like a fantasy come to life and I'm not sure if she's here to make good on her promise to treat me well or if this is some drawn out plot to get back at India. Deep down I think she does have good intentions. I guess we'll find out.

i sat in a daydream as Dr. Mortimer droned on in class. Danielle kept my phone blinging with morning memes and inspirational quotes as well as outfit ideas for Halloween.

"You are neurochemically addicted to this person at first until the sub cortical parts of your brain take over. This is called procedural memory, like muscle memory. Your dopamiune, seratonin, testosterone and other chemicals then tend to drop off and regulate themselves. Your neocortex, which at first was in charge of listening to this person, understanding them and learning their likes, dislikes and unique reactions whenever they feel certain emotions takes a break allowing the more primitive parts to retain and use a limited working knowledge of how they work as if your brain now works on autopilot with them. You think you know them, so you stop paying attention. This is the point where many relationships fail. The threat of someone leaving if they get into too big of an argument combined with the drop and hormones and assumptions made about a partners character lead them to either give up altogether or walk on eggshells around their partner for the duration of their relationship. Without communication, security and engagement, our friendships and relationships are doomed to come to an end, many of them before their time."

I sat in my chair wondering how much of my professor's speech related to me. Did Kiah just assume India was a monster? Did I? How much do I really know about either of them and would things with India have worked out between her and Kiah or her and me if we weren't strangers to each other beyond what we learned from one another on the surface? could one, or both make my wishes come true?
