Poppy's P.O.V

Sometimes, I can't be honest with myself. I've always had my thought on a certain troll. His name is Branch, the only grey troll in the village. Every time I asked him to attend one of my parties, he would always say 'no' or crush my invitations right in front of me, and that kinda hurts me a bit. I can't never understand why he's grey in the first place. As I sat on my bed thinking, DJ Suki, Smidge, Satin, & Chenille come over.

DJ: Hey, Pops. Lost in your thoughts again?

Poppy: A bit.

DJ: If you're busy, we could just leave.

Poppy: No, I'm not busy.

Smidge: Good, cause we wanted to ask you something.

Poppy: Ok. What is it?

Satin: Just out of curiosity…..

Chenille: Why does Branch's invitations look 10x different from everyone else?

Poppy: ! W-what are you talking about?

DJ: Come on, Pops. Think about it.

Well, it is a true statement. I do make Branch's invitations more festive than everyone else. It's only because I want to make him happy for once. But, it always ends in failure.

Smidge: Poppy, don't tell me. Are you in love with Branch?

As soon as Smidge asked me that, my face went red.

Poppy: W-what?! N-no, of course not. What makes you think that?!

Satin: Oh, darling. There's no need to hide it.

Chenille: Yeah, it's written all over your face.

Poppy: DJ, back me up here, please.

DJ: Sorry, Pops. But, I'm on their side on this one. *smirks*

Poppy:...

Branch's P.O.V

Guy Diamond: Come on, man. Just admit it!

Branch: Admit what?!

Guy Diamond: That you have feelings for Poppy!

Branch: Are you nuts?! What makes you think that I like her?

Guy Diamond: Oh, come on! I've caught you looking at her for so many years. That's a sign that you're in love.

Branch: You've got to be kidding! She likes Creek, anyway. And, I don't like her.

Guy Diamond: Whatever, man. But one day, I'm gonna say 'I told you so.'

Branch: Don't bet on it.

In his Bunker

Guy's got it all wrong. Even though he's my only friend, I don't have feeling for Poppy. But honestly, I'm just lying to myself. I fell for her when we were younger, but it's like she looks at me like a brother figure. She's beautiful, warm-hearted, has a beautiful voice, has those eyes that I get lost in, & a bright smile. Why would she ever have feelings for someone like me? I'm always cold to her & make her feel bad. Ok, snap out of it. Stop thinking about her, already. It's not like she feels the same way. So, just drop it.
