< Alexandria's POV >

Blaze? Nice name, fiery!

Wait, should I tell him mine?
Ohmygod, what's wrong with me? Of course I have to!

"Alexandria" I replied and shook his hand briefly.

Why does this feel so awkward? I mean like, I have never experienced this amount of anxiety and nervousness before...

"Are you okay? Your hands seems to feel very cold and clammy. Is there something bothering you?" I could hear the friendliness in his voice but...

No, I'm not okay. You are the one bothering me...and I don't exactly know why.

"What? Of course I'm okay! I'm just kinda scared that's all..." I lied, I couldn't help it.

"Yeah, I agree it is kinda scary but don't worry, you will be fine," he tried to comfort me and I could sense the concern in those words.

He's such a nice person, and I lied to him that I was afraid of a roller coaster, when they were one of my favorite things in life.

Okay, this is getting really frustrating...

But, fortunately, the roller coaster was finally ready to soar. I quickly strapped on my seat belt and made sure everything was safe before relaxing on my seat.

When the ride started, it was quite peaceful as it was going on a horizontal manner.

However, as soon as it started zooming down vertically along the tracks, I gripped tightly and hid my head under the metal pole.
This, was one of the most scariest, out of all the roller coasters I have ever been on.

When it went upside down, I couldn't help but to scream my heart out as I felt like I was falling.

I was dumbfounded by Blaze's bravery. He was just swaying his hands in the air and screaming like some idiot.

When he noticed me staring at him, he gave me a reassuring smile but it didn't help, sadly.

When he actually realized that I was literally dying, he gently held my shoulders and massaged them.

"Are you okay? Don't worry, the ride is ending soon. You shouldn't have taken it if you was unable to" my heart felt at ease when he whispered those words soothingly into my ears.

I looked at him and smiled.

"Thanks. And I'm sorry."

"It's okay, just make sure you won't do something like this again. Can you do that for me?"
I felt just like a little girl receiving advice from my father.

"I won't do it again, I promise."

He smiled at me and continued comforting me with those words that magically calms me down.

Before we even knew it, the ride was over and I quickly got down.

My head was spinning and I was feeling really dizzy. I tired to walk but I end up falling backwards.

Surprisingly, I felt a pair of strong arms securing my waist and I heaved a sigh of relief.

Heat rushed up in my cheeks that were now tomato red when I realised who it was.

"B-Blaze? Wha-What are you doing?" I didn't meant to be harsh on him but I saw him retreat to those words.

"Sorry, I thought you needed help. Didn't know you would be mad about that," my heart melted as I could feel the disappointment behind those words.

"What? No, I'm not mad. In fact, I'm really thankful for what you did. You saved my life...and...and I don't know how to thank you. Thank you so much. Oh, and I'm really sorry for what I said. I didn't meant it to be harsh."

"It's okay, it was also my fault for misunderstanding the whole situation. I'm sorry about that."

"It's okay, really."

Sharon quickly rushed towards me and started pretending that she saw nothing.

"Jesus, Alex! Are you okay? Luckily this gentleman here rescued you, lucky girl," I can't believe she even dared to shoot me a wink after saying those words, making my stupid cheeks turn red again.

Thank you so much for that, Sharon.

After Blaze introduced himself to Sharon, they started having some "intense" conversations and I obviously didn't know what on earth they were talking about because they just walked away from me. They just left me standing there like a fool, anticipating them to be done.

And the worst part was when he whispered something into her ear and I saw that sheepish grin which signifies that something interesting is going on.

I felt like there was something they were hiding from me as they were looking at me constantly and it made me sick with this longing to find out.

Wait, why don't I just ask them? Oh yeah, how could I forget? Sharon said this conversation was private. Yeah, right.

I really need to know what's going on, no matter what.

"So, Sharon. What were you talking about with Blaze just now at the roller coaster?"

She just remained silent and continued scrolling through her phone.

"Oi! I'm talking to you!"

She finally looked at me and said "Huh?"

This, will be harder than what I expected.

"What the hell were you and Blaze talking about? What is so secretive about it?" I raised my voice, I was really annoyed and disturbed.

"Whoa, come down girl... It wasn't really important. He just wanted to know some stuff about us... Yeah."

What? Who on earth will just randomly go to a stranger and find out more about him or her?
Okay, she's really hiding something.

"Sharon, I know you are lying. Just tell me the freaking truth? What's up with you?"

She just looked at me and gestured me to sit down with her on the bench.

< Sharon's POV >

How. On. Earth. Do I explain?

He was like asking me extremely weird questions like: Are you her best friend or her sister?

I mean like, I know we are closer than what it seems to be called "best friends" , but we don't even look alike!

And then he also asked me stuff like : Where does Alexandria live? What's her phone number? Is she single or taken?

Obviously, I answered none of those questions. I asked him why he couldn't ask her himself and that's when it hit me.

He was blushing, and there was a naughty grin on his face.

Immediately, I understood. But, I still didn't answer his questions.

Why should I? It would spoil the fun. Instead, I gave him my number. I'm just adding extra cheese to the pizza ;)

Speaking of pizza, I'm actually starving here?

Oh. I have to answer someone. Alex is still looking or to be more specific, glaring at me, she was so determined to find out.

I want to tell her, of course I want to. But will she be able to take it?

Just last year, some asshole broke her heart, she was devastated. No, she was worse than any painful word in the dictionary.

Her pain was priceless.

She never wanted to get into another relationship. She wanted to end it there.

I respected her decision. I felt her pain. I was there every time she needed to scream at someone, to vent out her frustrations.

Much to my amazement, I wasn't even angry when there was an occasion when she pushed her tray of food away and it all spilled onto my dress. I felt bad instead. I felt like taking away all her pain, sorrows and problems in life.

Of course, she apologized profusely when she calmed down. She even wanted to buy me a new dress. I stopped her straight away as I didn't want to waste her money on some stupid dress, when her life was already wasted by that scumbag.

I was always there for her.

My thoughts were interrupted when Alex just stood up and shouted : "I have been waiting for exactly ten minutes. How long more do you need, just to answer such a simple question? Is there something wrong with him, Sharon? Is it something so personal, that you can't share it with me? You could have just said so, you know?"

It's not personal, it's about you dear. It's all about you.

I have to tell her. I can't hide this. What if she gets a shock if he confesses anything to her? What if she knows that I knew and I didn't tell her? How would she feel then? Would she still trust me?

"I will tell you... now."

She nodded her head and sat down next to me again, her blue orbs focusing on me.

"Blaze, he... he asked me... stuff like umm... about you... but I didn't answer him... I just kept quiet. I didn't tell him anything! I swear I didn't! When he asked for your number, I didn't give it to him! I... I... I told him to ask you himself! I told him that I was not going to let him know anything. I gave him my number instead, so we can talk-"

"Talk? About what?"

This is it. I have to tell her. But it's just so damn hard!

"Umm... Well... it's about like you know, normal stuff people talk about. It's not really...umm... important."

" Sharon, I know you are lying. You always stutter and fidget when you lie. And he's a stranger so what do you mean, normal stuff? Why can't you just tell me? I just wanna know, that's all."

"OK! OK! I will tell you! I'm sorry! I know I shouldn't be telling you this but, you need to know. You will also find out one way or another. I will tell you... now. Now Alex, now."

However, I just ended up in tears and it was so hard to speak.

"Sharon? Oh my bad! I'm so sorry! I didn't realize what I was saying! I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just... desperate... I'm worried Sharon. I'm scared. I'm really really sorry."

Crap. I knew it. I knew she was afraid. But she still needs to know.

"Alex... It's okay... It's not your fault. I understand Alex, it's okay. That guy... he... he was very...-"

"Just get straight to the point, Sharon. You don't have to explain further."

Then, her expression changed to fear.

"Oh no Sherry, what is it? Sharon, do you think he... Do you think he possibly..."

I took in a deep breath.

"Yes, Alex. He likes you."

I know, I know. It's a late update again. But I'm left with no choice. I have to do what matters most.

Anyway, the word count was only 1836 words. It is one of the least I have ever written :(

I'm really busy and I'm really sorry.

However, what would you rate this chapter, from a scale of 1 to 10? How much would you rate it?

Time for questions!

What do you think would be Alex's reaction?

Would she accept the fact that she had an admirer?

Or would she try her best to stay away from him?
