Emma was like a shadow, following me everywhere I went. I said goodbye and attempted to shut the door from inside, but Emma was faster than me. She barged in and said, "I'm here, and I'm not leaving until you tell me everything that's bothering you." I groaned and said, "Bro, I'm clueless about my life. It's a mess." She said, "But Aana, bro, this is love. You put your life on the line to save him. I saw the terror and grief in your eyes when Percy was inches away from death. And if you hadn't acted quickly and thoughtlessly stood between him and Cupcake then..... And when he told you to go, his eyes showed how much he cherished you too." Emma rambled on and I decided to let it all out. I said, "Bro, I feel a weird bond with Percy. I don't have any nightmares, only dreams of him and me. And they feel like blissful memories. I asked him over and over, but he never gave me an honest answer. I don't know why I ran to save a stranger." (I said, tears rolling down my cheeks.) Just then, Emma wrapped her arms around me and said, "Don't worry, bro. We'll solve the mystery of your memories and your connection with Percy. Don't cry, please." (We heard some footsteps coming our way. They were Hannah and Della. They barged in too and asked me mockingly, "Hey Aana, we saw everything that happened there. Your and Percy's heart-to-heart talk. Do you have a crush on him?" And hearing their question, I sobbed even louder.) Emma said, "Guys, you asked the right question at the wrong time." They both joined Emma in consoling me. After crying for about 10-15 minutes, I stopped and sniffed. They all asked me why I cried and I simply said, "Umm, I enjoyed crying. I haven't cried for the past two months. I feel lighter now." (I said what I genuinely felt.) They all stared at me as if I had said something absurd. I added, "Umm, actually crying refreshes your mind, lets emotions flow and most importantly clears your eyes of any dust." They looked at me and said in chorus, "Stop!" And then they started laughing like lunatics who had run away from a mental hospital. I thought...
I said, "I knew you guys were escaped, mental patients. Now just go and let me take a nap. And leave me and Cupcake alone." Hannah said, "Bro, now that you've regained your sanity, answer my question." I said, "That's still pending, right? Well, nothing is going on between me and Percy, but I think I have feelings for him." I admitted. They all looked shocked and Emma said angrily, "Then you *****(it's a moron, don't try to replace it with anything else, you know);) why didn't you tell me when I asked?" I said, "I realized it just now. How could I have told you earlier? I thought about it while I was crying. And now I think you were right." They all chuckled and Della said, "Finally, a human that you have feelings for. I thought you would never fall for a human except for that K drama, C drama, Thai drama, Turkish drama actors anime characters and even many fictional people. Oh god is great." I started laughing and Emma and Hannah joined me. We had fun talking about mine and Emma's imaginary crushes and we chatted happily. I said, "You know, I still have a soft spot for Cha Eun-woo from true beauty I love every drama of his he is the definition of perfection, song weilong from Go Ahead, and I had a second lead syndrome since I saw Choi young- do and Han seojun, Kim mingue from business proposal, I even have a long list of Anime crushes mikey from Tokyo revengers, loid forger from Spy X family, ken kaneki from Tokyo ghoul and many more And don't forget my fictional crushes like Zade Meadows, Alan Volkov , Nicholas Leister." Emma said, "Oh yeah, those guys are hot. But I prefer Park Seo Joon from What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, Dylan Wang from Meteor Garden, Nadech Kugimiya from The Crown Princess, Kivanc Tatlitug from Forbidden Love and Naruto Uzumaki from Naruto. And my fictional crushes are Noah Flynn from The Kissing Booth, Xavier Cold from Phenomenal X and Damien King from His Possession." We gushed over our crushes and compared notes on their looks and personalities. And I being loyal to my crushes said hey my crushes are far better than yours and she fought for hers Just then, we saw a weird sight when we saw the cat. It was an undead mutant. It was rather cute, but its ribcage was visible a little bit. It opened the window with its paw. I knew all animals had become smarter, but I had no idea they could even open windows. It had a letter tied to its back and it threw it towards me. I was surprised by its action and it went away after throwing the letter. It even closed the window behind it. Cupcake was barking non-stop at the cat. I thought what a polite cat it was. It even closed the window...
