Chapter two - Sophie
I was having a really weird dream that night. All I could really see was that I was in a jungle full of yellow mess. All the trees and shrubs were yellow. And there was this huge lake full of ice blue water everywhere. I was so surprised when I felt a hand shake me awake. The hand was warm and soft. I hear a,
"Wake up Sophie, someone's here for you." Then I finally shoot up to see Edaline sitting on the edge of my bed, her hand on my shoulder, and a worried expression on her face.
"Sorry, what's happening." I ask wondering how long I've been asleep.
"Someone's here for you Sophie, but this morning you kept muttering something over and over again. Did you find a memory?" I sigh and say,
"I wish. I was just having a weird dream, it wasn't a nightmare or anything, just a dream that made no sense." I wish I had recovered a memory. Mr. Forkle told me I didn't have to find it, that it would be fine and I don't need to know what happened, but I need to find out what happened.
"Okay, well, we better get you outside, we have guests. Also you might want to change." She added that on looking at my PJs and seeing the little alicorns on them.
"Okay, thanks." I say heading to my closet. I swear I have hundreds of clothes, but it feels bad to have so many, I only wear like ten different pairs altogether. I quickly change into a black unfitted tunic and some leggings and head out, I trip over the little bump near the door. Luckily Sandro catches me before I hit the ground.
"Maybe try going a little slower next time, Miss Foster." He says in his squeaky voice. His voice sounds more like a rabbits would then a huge bulky goblins, but I've got used to it.
"Thanks," I mumble, why did I have to be really clumsy. It always had to be me who tripped or stumbled first.
I head downstairs and go out to the pastures. I spot Fitz near Calla's tree so I start to walk over. Then I hear Silvenys transmit to me.
SOPHIE! HI! FRIEND! KEEFE! VISIT! KEEFE! VISIT! KEEFE!
I shake my head and transmit back while walking over to Fitz. I can't actually see Silveny but I can practically feel her excitement to have the possibility to see Keefe. I think she is somewhere near the tree. I reach Fitz and he smiles his movie-worthy smile. I wait to silently scold myself for my heart fluttering, but it doesn't happen. I can't believe it, but I think I've got over him. I don't like him in that way anymore. I just can't. It doesn't feel the same, like I want someone else... just not him. I look at him and see Silveny in the field behind the tree.
"Hi," I say slowly breaking the silence.
"Umm... hi," he says this as if he is nervous. For what? My mind screams.
"What's up." I say curious.
"You invited me over..."
"Not what I meant Fitz," I reply rolling my eyes.
"I-I need to tell you something, it could change everything. Just please sit." He says patting the ground near him. I nod and sit leaving a small gap between each other. "Sophie, I've been meaning to tell you this for a while now, but I've been a wimp and put it off, but I..." a red colour fills his cheeks as he says this and his gaze drops. "I really like you Sophie, in a more-than-friend way." He blurted the last bit out and I sucked in a breath and my throat blocked up.
"Fitz— I..." my voice cracks and I turn my face around. "I really like you too, but..."
"Not in that way," he says sounding extremely sad, "I get it, you don't like me like that. I just hope this doesn't ruin what we already have. Please don't start avoiding me."
"Fitz, of course I wouldn't, I don't know how to tell you this, but I used to like you too, like a lot." The used to I used in my sentence made him look like a hustler just blew him backwards,
"Wait, really? When?" He says this like he doesn't like me anymore in that way. Like he completely got over me, but I can still see the hurt in his eyes and hear it in his voice.
"Umm..." I blush realising what I'm just about to admit. "Since like the first second I realised you weren't a serial killer and psychopath. My feelings only started to fade a moth or two ago and now was the first time realising that I don't like you that way. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. And wow. If I told you like three months ago it would be all fine. Of course." He whispered the last part but I still caught onto it.
"Sorry." I say but I'm interrupted by my imparter beeping. "Umm... do you mind." I say seeing Keefe's face on the screen.
"Go ahead."
