So, since I talked about Jay, I guess I have to talk about Cole. Cole is my perfect match. Everyone accuses me of only gaining interest in him when I found out, but the truth is, it started before.
   Ever since I met Cole, I've liked being around him. Not just because he's strong or brave, but because he's so calm and takes everything so seriously. Cole always respects me and my space. He never makes me feel obligated to be with him. He just goes with the flow.
     When I broke up with Jay, I started to spend a lot more time with Cole. The school was just starting, and everything was so drastically different. Cole was the only person I could truly rely on! We would have these long, deep conversations and he would really listen. It was pretty amazing how he always seemed to know what was wrong. Before long, we got really close. The problem was, I still loved Jay as well. So when I tried the perfect match machine at Borg Industries, I was very conflicted. I had thought it would be Jay, but when it was Cole I started to realize how similar we were. And that maybe, I loved him too.
    Then came the part nobody heard about. Between the time when I held hands with Cole and when Jay found out about the perfect match stuff, something happened. Cole and I were alone and we started to talk like we normally do. Then he kissed me! It felt so right, but at the same time wrong. He was going to kiss me again when I stopped him and said I didn't feel okay about it. All I could think about was how hurt Jay would be, even though we were broken up. Then I ran out.
     After Cole turned into a ghost, I didn't know what to do. My power was the only thing that could hurt him! We started to grow distant. But I still care.
Why does everything have to be so difficult?
