One of Them

Chapter 16

Burst quietly opened the door and entered the mansion, she did not want to be heard, especially by Pic. She quickly ran up the stairs, but just as she reached the door to her room, Pic walked out of his room.

"Hey Burst." He said cheerfully. "What's up?"

Burst quickly glanced at his eyes, they were hazel, not blue. Good, she thought. This is the real Piccolo.

"Not much." She said, her hand on the doorknob. "I just got back from hanging out with Jamie."

Pic nodded then began to walk down the stairs, but he stopped halfway down.

"Burst?" He asked, turning to face her with a hopeful look in his eyes. "Do you... Have feelings for Jamie?"

Burst tensed, did she? She liked hanging out with him, but she did kind of think he was cute, did that count?

"I... I don't know yet." She said.

She couldn't read Pic's expression, but he looked kind of... Disappointed. "Alright," he said, turning away. "Good night, Burst."

"G'night, Pic." Burst said, walking into her room and closing the door behind her.

Burst changed into her pajamas, which still had tears in them from the whipping, and climbed into bed. She stared up at the ceiling, wondering what the heck was going on.

"Banzai!"

Something heavy landed on Burst's stomach, waking her up instantly. Her eyes snapped open to find Sprite sitting on her, his face was inches from hers.

"Rise and shine, cutie." He said, grinning.

Burst rolled her eyes and pushed him off, she had gotten used to him doing stuff like this, but it still annoyed her.

"Get out of my room." She said as she got out of bed.

Sprite sat on her bed. "I don't think so." He said.

"I need to get changed." She said, quite annoyed.

Sprite's grin got even wider. "I know." He said.

Burst rolled her eyes and grabbed the black collar of his white jacket. She pulled him off the bed, opened the door, and pushed him out of her room.

"No perverts allowed." She said, slamming the door in his face.

"I'm not a pervert!" Sprite protested, walking back through the door.

"Yes you are." Burst said, pushing him backwards towards the door, but he smacked into it instead of going through.

Burst sighed. "You solidified yourself," she mumbled. "I hate you so much."

"I love you too, cutie." Sprite said. He wrapped his arms around Burst's waist and pulled her closer to him.

"What are you doing?" Burst asked.

"You'll see..." Sprite said as he forced his lips onto hers.

Burst's eyes widened in surprise, a million thoughts flew through her head at once. But the worst one was about the kiss, it was kind of nice.

Suddenly, the door opened, sending them both crashing to the floor on top of each other. Pic glanced between both of them, a confused look on his face. Burst instantly jumped off of Sprite and stood next to Pic.

"He did it, didn't he?" Pic asked.

Burst nodded. "Yep...." She mumbled as Sprite got off the floor.
