Secret Admirer…Sorta…
By Bella Petersen
THARJA'S P.O.V.
I slide down into the cool pond, its water tickling my skin. I opened the spell book I treasured ever so much and conjured up my favorite thing. My sweet Dren.
She was perfect; beautiful, a master thief, sniper, and the queen of stealth. I loved her so, I wished she'd notice me.
Dren, her skin was smoothing and soft, like fresh peaches. Her green eyes sparkled like shimmering emeralds, and her dark violet hair was the color of the richest wine. I desired to be with her. My dear Dren…

Dren's P.O.V.
"I told you guys that I was handling food today!" Roy shouted. I noggied my little brother in annoyance.
"You would have just snacked on it all the way till you passed out," I teased.
"You're so mean, Dren!" Roy huffed while dragging his staff. I smirked and picked up my bow and sword and slid them in their rightful places. As I followed the rest of the Shepards to our next destination, I got the sensation I was being watched. I whipped my head around to see Tharja watching me from behind a bush.
"Umm, do you need something?" I asked.
Tharja stared at me, her face a light pink complete with a cheerful expression.
"Nothing, my sweet," she said, "I just wanted to walk with you."
I never felt at ease around Tharja. She seemed so isolated from, the start, but ever since she joined up with us, she'd never taken her eyes off me once. But, I had a feeling I was sort of a comfort to her, so I usually let it slide.
"Ummm, okay?" I said.
Tharja's face burst into a smile and she clung to my arm.
"Let's go, bestie," she giggled.
"Who said I was your best friend?" I asked.
"Oh nothing, Dren. Let's go."
I tried to keep up the pace with the others, but having Tharja clinging onto my arm like a little kid was kinda creepy.(And not to mention lesbo-ish) I didn't want to upset her, though. I felt sorry for her. So desperate for a friend, yet so alone.
"Hey Tharja, can you let go of me?" I asked.
Tharja looked up with full on puppy dog eyes(a rare thing for her).
"Why?" she asked in a voice that sounded an awful lot like a kid begging for a lollipop.
I swallowed.
"Uh, never mind. You can stay there."
"Thank you bestie!~3" Tharja cheered.
I smiled. What I really wished I had said was 'Get the hell off me you crazy bitch.'
