Today was the real deal. And this time I even got a fair amount of sleep so I wouldn't pass out like last time. Still it was almost two in the morning and I can't get over the time. Before, there wouldn't have been a chance to meet me alive at this time.

Anyway, everyone had already gathered in front of Zaron's house, when he spoke up. "So we're just going to use Loki's and my car, to avoid standing out. For now we're just heading there first and discuss together with our partners since we're working together."

I watched how everyone automatically split into two groups and got in the cars as I looked at Zaron who was also about to get in. "What are you waiting for? Get in!" He waved over.

But I pursed my lips and shook my head. So I waved him goodbye with a smile and got in Loki's car where Collin was sitting in the front while Pixie and I shared the back seat.

As soon as I closed the door I noticed how everyone was staring at me like I was not from this world. "Did you fight with Zaron again?" Collin rolled his eyes.

"Huh? No, did not," I shook my head at him. "But since he's driving I won't be able to tease him that much, so it'll be boring. Besides," I stopped for a second once Loki started driving. "I'm curious about him," I pointed at the current driver who shot me a brief glance after I mentioned him.

"What is with him?" Collin frowned.

"Why're you not talking? Don't think it's weird that I've never heard your voice, not even once?" I crossed my arms. "Do you have an ugly voice or do you just hate talking?" I was really curious and wondered how he sounded like. Or maybe he was just mute, that would explain a lot.

"There's nothing wrong with him, some people just don't talk as much as you do," Collin answered instead of him.

"Are you his guardian or something? Look who's talking!" I raised an eyebrow at him before another assumption made me change my mind. "Oh I get it, you have a crush on him?"

"Don't make me laugh," he looked away as I noticed Loki watching him.

"Oh so it is you who has a crush on him, right?" I could see his troubled expression when he was avoiding my eyes, Collin wasn't even looking in that moment and Pixie's eyes were fixed on his phone while he had some earbuds on. "The fact that you didn't decline means I was somehow right."

"Hey." To my surprise it was Pixie who spoke up. "Just cut it out already," he rolled.

"And who are you to tell me what to do?" I talked back when my eyes glimpsed at his phone. "Oh is this a game?" I was quickly distracted once I saw what kind of game he was playing on his phone. "Can I listen?" I asked and took one of his ear pieces for myself. Luckily, he was way too focused on the game which hindered him to object.

It was unexpectedly a game about slicing food. Wasn't that Fruit Ninja or something? Sadly he lost the moment I recognize the game he was playing. "You should go back to your seat," he muttered when he noticed how I had narrowed the distance between us.

"Aw but I want to play, too," I pouted. "Come on let me try," I insisted and took his phone out of his hand before restarting the game. But a few seconds after I started I had already lost.

"You idiot," he sighed. "You're not supposed to slice the bombs. Isn't that obvious?"

"Oh those were bombs? And I was wondering what weird fruits look like that," I grinned at him. His eyes widened when he realized something so he instinctively turned away once he noticed me frowning. "Is something off about my face?"
