"Sleep, my Bella."
I stretched an ash grey hand out for the remote, never lifting my violet eyes from the spellbook I held in my lap.
But instead of the cool plastic of the remote, I felt a warm fabric brush against my hand. My arm shot with an electric pulse, but I didn't jerk away. Instead, I looked up to discover our hands overlapping each other on top of the remote.
My gaze flicked from our hands to your deep emerald eyes, which immediately became locked with mine. I felt the electricity in my arm fade into a warm tingle, which then spread to my reddening cheeks. Though the movie had been bothering before, I didn't even notice it now; Everything had fallen into silence.
Hands touch. Eyes meet. Sudden silence, sudden heat.
I felt my heartbeat speed up as I desperately tried to keep myself under control. I was supposed to be in control of my emotions! Reacting so hugely to something so small could be dangerous.
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl. He could be that boy…
The spellbook slid off my lap and landed on the floor with a loud "Shlump!" I tore my eyes from yours and exhaled deeply, thankful that whatever spell I'd just been under had been broken. The sounds of the movie, which I found, to my horror, was still on some romantic scene, came rushing back to my ears.
"Would you turn that noise off?" I snapped, leaning over to grab the thick book.
Out of my peripheral I saw you blink once, twice, as if you were still hypnotized.
"What?" you finally asked with a quick shake of your head.
I sat back up, setting the book beside me, and held up the remote with magic. I telekinetically pressed the power button and at last turned off the movie.
"Oh, that," you said in your raspy little-boy voice. "Hehe…"
I felt my cheeks growing hot again as you grew so adorably embarrassed, so I quickly threw my hood over my head, effectively hiding my blush, and stood. Just as I did so, I heard the mechanical hiss of the automatic doors opening.
"Heeeey!" a familiar female voice yelled.
"Terra!" you shouted back in greeting. I watched in silence as you leapt over the couch, rushing towards your beloved.
It was at that moment that I decided it would be better for me to read in my room than out here. I turned on my heels and prepared to leave through the same doors the blonde Titan was just sauntering through.
"I'm going to my room," I announced flatly. Hearing no response, I began gliding forward, struggling to suppress my emotions. Jealousy, rage, embarrassment, love... they were all having a shouting match inside my mind.
As I neared the doors, I looked over my shoulder, just briefly. You had your green arms wrapped around her in a tight embrace, and upon your lips was a huge smile that couldn't be contained. I felt the corners of my mouth twitch upward as I felt my eyes pool with salty tears.
But I'm not that girl.
I took a step into the dark hall, allowing the darkness to swallow me up as the doors hissed shut behind me. In my head, all was silent.
