There was just something about the way he thought. The way he walked. The way he talked. It drove me crazy; it made me hate him. He carried himself so proudly. There was no one on his back. He knew who he was, unlike myself. Why was he someone? Why do those people want to be around him? Why was he so... perfect?
"Synch," a voice was starting to pull me from my thoughts, "Synch, are you okay?" It was a small, timid, feminine voice, unlike his. His was perfect: a smooth, clear tenor voice. That perfect voice had come from his perfect--
"Damn it, Guy!" I shouted, "I hate you so much!"
Silence.
The voice crept up again quietly. "Um, Synch?" She asked, reaching out to touch my shoulder. I sighed and looked at her. It was just Arietta.
"What do you want, Arietta? Can't you see I'm busy?" I replied.
"..." She looked down to her feet and opened her mouth to say something, but quickly shut it again. "Nevermind." And with that, she ran off, and I went back to my thoughts.
I brushed a hand through my hair and rested my head in my hands. Something was off. My face felt warm. Was I ill? Or wait... I can't have been. Was I?
That's when I realized it: I was blushing the whole time I thought of him.
I sighed and cursed under my breath. "I can't believe this."
