"I'm just saying that the movie didn't really make sense" Andrew said

We've been arguing for about an hour since the movie ended. He was criticizing soul, he said that the whole ghost content didn't make sense.

"Stop being a Grinch and accept a good movie" I said

"I think Julian has affected you because you always criticize movies and say that writers are crap but actors are the real hero" He said

How dare Jace? He knows what I feel about writers and yet he went on to insult them. I'm not a writer but I adore them. They have the ability to envision and create a world where normal people live. They have the ability to connect with fictional characters and make it all seem real.

Without writers, what will actors be needed for?

"Yes, she has affected me because that's the only reasonable explanation right?" I asked him

"What?"

"Nevermind, I gotta go, I've been around you for so long that I'm thinking that we're suddenly friends"

"I gotta say, hanging out with is not as bad as it seems. You're a cool guy" He patted my shoulder and walked away.

What was that all about?

"So how did it go?" Darcey asked me. I had gotten to her place a while ago and was making some Cheerios for myself. Darcey was grinning ear to ear.

"Why are you asking like you expected something kinky to happen?" I asked her

"Well, Did it?"

"Have you lost it? Why would I kiss Laverne? I'm also not a girl for now so how earth will it seem if Jace suddenly kisses Andrew, Doesn't that make him gay?" I asked

"You're right, he's too hot to be gay but then again, I know a lot of hot guys that are gay and sometimes I wish I was a guy so that they can fall in love with me"

"You're really crazy" I shoved a spoonful of Cheerios down her throat.

"I'm just saying that I won't be surprised if you end up kissing him because I've seen it in movies a lot"

"Darcey you fool, this is not some kind of fairytale. This is reality and it stinks so you better stop watching so much movies and focus on real life"

"Oh and how about you? You've been so 'alive' for so long but you have never even had a boyfriend before" She gave me a mischievous smile like she was laughing at my sadness.

"Hey, I choose to be single. Do you have any idea how many gifts I carry in my back pack home on Valentine's day?" I asked

"Ten, twelve"

"None" I said

"None?"

"Yup because I usually call up my driver to bring the car to take it home. It's usually too much for me to carry home" I said

"Really? I'm your best friend and I didn't even know that"

"Orion does"

"So you told Orion a long time ago but you're telling me now?"

"Sorry, he's gay and it makes him the perfect person to gosh about things that other girls would be jealous of"

"You're the worst" She threw a spoon at me.

I dodged the spoon and stuck out my tongue "You still love me nevertheless"

"Love you my ass" She gave me a death glare that if looks could kill, I'll be five feet below the ground.
