Clio is sorry this has been so long in coming. School just started and she has had little to no time to write.
“She hasn’t spoken to me in forever! It’s like she’s still mad at me for that… incident.” Seth grumbled.
“Oh… Maybe she’s busy. School is pretty hectic now.” Crystal explored the possibilities. She knew Seth wasn’t thinking straight.
“No. She’s online and not responding to me. She’s not even responding to my test messages!” Seth was annoyed. Why was Leila being so incredibly evasive?
“Well, maybe she’s on, but not on. I’ve done that before.” Why am I protecting her?
“For six days?” Seth couldn’t believe what Crystal was doing. When did she, of all people, become so defensive over Leila?
“It’s possible… I don’t know.” Crystal trailed off uncertainly. She didn’t know what Seth wanted to hear from her anymore. He didn’t get her either nowadays… What do you want from me?
All of a sudden, Seth’s phone buzzed. Crystal raised her eyebrows.
“Speak of the devil…” Seth hit the red cancel button angrily.
“Call her back. You're never going to get anywhere if you guys don’t talk.” Crystal wondered why she was giving love advice. She had never been in a relationship before…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Several days later…
“Go talk to her. You’ve been waiting for her for hours, days even.” Sounds familiar…
“You don’t mind?” Seth gave Crystal a puzzled look.
“No, of course not.” Crystal paused, “well, yeah I do, but when has that ever made a difference…” She mumbled under her breath. It’s not as if your mind is around anymore now that she’s here…
“Oh, okay. Bye!” Seth scampered off as fast as he could. “Leila! Wait up!”
“Bye…” Crystal looked across at them dejectedly. She didn’t like Seth, not that way, but she loved him. She couldn’t stand seeing him be with… her. The “witch” as some of her friends called Leila. Many were wondering why they were still together, especially Crystal. Seth could do so much better.
