"Can I take care of Shelly?" I ask John softly, taking the turtle and hugging it to my chest. Shelly curls into my chest, reminding me of my old puppy I had back in Nevis. John stares at us for a moment, then decides.

"Fine."

He proceeds to give me way to much an information and I write it all down as Shelly crawls about in my lap. When I'm done, John sighs.

"I didn't think you would be able to write it all down, but-"

"Can I take care of Shelly?" I wonder again, my heart beating so loud in my chest you could probably hear it from a mile away.

John sighs.

"Fine. I'm trusting you, Alexander. Don't you dare freaking kill my turtle child."

I roll my eyes, "Of course not, John. I know how much Shelly means to you."

I hold Shelly tightly in my jacket sleeve, watching her. My jacket is off and in my own arms, as I cover myself and the jacket with a see-through umbrella I got from the campus shop. Rain falls down, hitting against my umbrella as I pull open the door to my dorm building.

I pull my umbrella down, pushing Shelly and my jacket onto the floor of the building as I walk in.

Once down with that careful task, I pick up my jacket, which Shelly refuses to let go of and sigh. Now is the final test.

Thomas.

The walk to my dorm seems to be long and fierce. I feel as if the walls and floor are closing in on me. I look down at Shelly to calm my nerves, but I can't help it. Shelly makes me nervous, everything makes me nervous.

And now I have to face him. My... crush.

I open the door to our dorm, putting Shelly and my jacket behind my back. Thomas looks up from his spot in the kitchen, waving at me.

"Hey, Alex," Thomas eyes me, meeting my nervous eyes, "What's behind your back?"

"N-Nothing!" I insist, even though he never really intimidated me in any way. I was just nervous, of course. As usual.

"Mm, okay." Thomas mumbles, walking towards me, "Two weeks ago, you brought home Hercules' dog. A week ago, you brought home a bird and named it after me. Tommy. A day ago, you brought home a spider and watched it for a few hours. What did you bring home this time, Alexander?"

The way he said my name made me shiver.

"N-Nothing." I insisted, but my guard was coming down. This was terrible, how he could make my nerves come down so quickly and so easily.

"Seriously?" He muttered.

"Fine! It's a turtle!" I pull Shelly out from behind my back, looking away. It takes a few moments for him to react, but I fell my jacket be pulled out of my hands. When I looked back, he was on his knees in front of me with Shelly in his hands.

"Turtles are my favorite animal!" Thomas exclaimed.

I looked away.

"Yeah. Me too."
