MACKENZIE'S POV:

I watch my feet warily, arms wide out like wings, stepping from rock-to-rock as slowly as possible. Johnny enjoyed adrenaline. I, however, don't. Operating at a slow-pace calms me, I'd much rather be cautious than lying on the ground with an injury.

I knew I had assumed that rocks were stupid, and it'd be much smarter and safer to walk on the sidewalk, rather than the rocks. It seemed like the ideal choice at the time, but Johnny somehow convinced me to think otherwise.

He had suggested I walk him home on Monday, and so I did. He went through the same pathway, on the rocks. I had been complaining the entire time, about how he could possibly get hurt, and sought to convince him to take the root on the sidewalk. Johnny only chuckled at my response, resuming on with his rock jumping.

A small part of me had some sort of hatred towards those massive, solid, lifeless objects. They had prevented me from chatting with Johnny. I was left alone while Johnny was having the time of his life. Over time, I realized how shallow it was for me to hate them. Johnny seemed to love them.

As days passed, I eventually joined him on the rocks. I then understood why he was so set on the idea of walking home on rocks. They were highly entertaining, and saved you from boredom. Although I was much slower than the pace Johnny was pushing for, I personally don't think it killed out on any of the fun.

I had exercised Johnny home every single day for the past week. The intimate yet light talks we have, the constant running and laughing– it had pretty much become the highlight of my day. I had just wanted to get school over with, so I can begin my walk with the man of my dreams.

No, he's completely oblivious of my feelings towards him. He doesn't notice, nor seem to care either. It hurts, knowing he has no idea and that I have to keep this kind of secret from him. I had felt so anxious towards the whole scenario. I was terrified he'd figure out that I like him. I'd much rather stay at the place I am now, where I'm friends with my crush, spending time with him daily, than being at a depressed state, where he sends me awkward glances once a week.

There was always that nasty pit feeling buried in the back of my stomach that haunted me and made me want to turn the other way. However, that feeling is overall concealed, I hadn't thought much about it, since I was quite used to this feeling anyway.

Nadia hadn't made countless appearances in the past week either. She's kept her distance, but that didn't stop me from gaining suspicion. It's as if she'd forgotten completely about the bet, or she simply didn't have the energy to care anymore. Her seat remains empty at the infamous table, and no one hardly seemed to notice. I hadn't understood how her mind was set on Johnny for the first day, then wandering around the cafeteria and not even giving him a glance.

Not that I was complaining. If Nadia won't even try to have him, then he's all mine.

The past week consumed with the Princesses has taught me more than enough. In fact, I don't think I desired to dive this deep and get to recognize every little detail. But, they were there for me to observe, and I had come to a few conclusions.
