"..What?"
"I like you, okay?! I mean wasn't allowing you to read my diary a sign?"
"..I thought you just wanted a friend.. I didn't think…" I pull away, slightly and give her an uncomfortably confused look.
"Well… Well where do we go from here..??"
"Just…Just give me time to think." I say while walking away, slowly.
I didn't know what to think at the moment. Is that why Akira has been acting weird too? So many thoughts and possibilities were running through my mind.
After rummaging my thoughts for possible solutions, I decided to forget about it all and pretend like it never happen. I mean, why ruin a friendship when you don't have to? When I regained my composure, I went back to the main part of the tent-like-hut and acted accordingly. It wasn't too hard because I did it most of the time anyways as to not show any weakness.
Violet was trying to avoid eye contact, but I caught a glimpse of her gaze every-now-and-then. Her eyes were locked on Akira and I, and they burned with envy. I wasn't trying to make her jealous or anything, but I genuinely wanted to make sure Akira was comfortable. Maybe it could've had a little something to do with what happened with my mom, but I just felt the need to comfort her and be there for her through the pain. I just needed to take care of her.
I left the tent to get more supplies for weapons, because we needed as much as we could get after the attack.
Violet offered to come along, but I told her to stay there with Akira to make sure she's alright. I could see the sadness hidden behind the 'ok' she muttered, but I couldn't be focused about it right now. There was no way I was going to let this 'scandal' distract me. It's so clear that both girls have taken a sudden interest in me, but someone would be devastated. Plus, we had more important things to do and this love thing would get in the way of the main objective; Surviving.
So I'm not going to choose. Actually. I'll do one better.
I'll shut it down completely.
