I walked off into the dark night trying to clear up my mind, but I can't.
It's been over a year since I've been with the Cirque and I've enjoyed my stay. I can't stop thinking about Evra… We've traveled all over the world and it has been pretty exciting! Still can't stop thinking about Evra. I've met all kinds of people! And the performers are amazing! But…
Evra… I don't know what's wrong with me. When I first met him my heart thumped quickly, I felt butterflies in my stomach, and I was immediately self-conscious. His scales are so perfect and his eyes read 'fierce' yet they had warmth to them. What I liked the most about him was his personality. He is hilarious and a great friend… Friend.
I've tried not to give out my secret about Evra to anyone. I guess you could say that I have kept it a bit discreet. I have dropped a couple of hints here and there, though. Nothing more than a simple arm rub or crashing into him 'accidentally'.
But I know that Evra and I could never be together.
I headed back to the Cirque slowly, enjoying the night sky and the stars. Evra loves the stars.
I went directly into our tent, sat on my hammock, and stared at Evra. Many would consider this creepy. Heck, I would too. But it's not like I do anything to Evra when he's asleep. I just like to observe him. His scales glinted a bit with the weak light…
I began to feel odd so I decided that I would hit the hay.
When I woke up I saw that Evra had already left to go feed the little people. I quickly put on my pants, a shirt, and shoes then ran into the forest to catch up with him.
"Evra!" I yelled. Far ahead into the forest I saw that there seemed to be a slight struggle. My heart began to beat faster. Was Evra in danger?
Yelling more frantically, "EVRA! Where are you!" I walked straight into the struggled area and saw a small clearing. When I arrived I saw a figure sitting on the grass and looking up at me, smiling.
"Evra! Where were you? You had me looking all over the place!" I said.
"Oh, please. You barely even looked. Besides, look at this neat place that I found!" he said excitedly.
I spun around slowly and looked at the area. It really was peaceful and there seemed to be a small pond nearby. I even saw a couple of stumps that looked like chairs! There was a cozy feeling about this place.
I looked into the pond and saw that it was clear and inviting.
"How'd you find this place?" I asked.
"I was looking for some food for the little people when I saw this strange looking tree bark thing. It looked like a door of some type so I tried to open it. It wasn't easy." He explained. "It was jammed so I had to kick it a couple of times but when I opened it, I found this place!"
I nodded briefly and decided that it was time to go hunting. But, just as I was about to tell him, I saw that he laid back on the grass and looked up at the canopy of leaves above. Evra looked at me and said, "Well don't just stare at me! Come here and look!" He patted a space next to him and pointed up.
Timidly, I went over to him laid down closely. Looking up, I saw a wonderful display of leaves with the sunlight shining through them. It was wonderful.
I felt a strong electric buzz between us as we were there. I wanted to grab him and.. And.. Kiss.. Him?
No. I can't think like that.. Evra doesn't.. He..
It would ruin our friendship. I sighed and saw that Evra was looking at me curiously.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing." He said and continued to look up.
He looked beautiful.
