A/N: Correct me if I'm wrong, but, as far as I know, this is the first completed iRunaways/i fanfic posted to the net. *grins wickedly*

Summary: Karolina has been falling. Drabble. Fem-slash.

*"And to make matters worse, I'm starting to...to fall for somebody here, but they're already interested in somebody else."*

I started falling as soon as I saw her. The new look just did something amazing to her. She was so...wow. Totally knocked me for a loop. I even slipped up and called her hot. She didn't seem to notice how I *really* meant it. Besides, Alex was more obvious in his fawning. He overshadowed me, I hope.

I never thought in a million years that we'd end up in this mess together. Ignoring the other parents being evil and all, we're slowly falling into a very bad mess on our own. Chase likes me, I like Nico, and she likes Alex. He obviously likes her back, but they're being stubborn about it. I could take the opening, but the minute I even try, no matter the outcome on Nico's part, Chase and Alex would hate me forever. I would too in their position. I mean, who wants a freak to crush their chance with the girl of their dreams? I don't have a chance to crush. Even if Nico is the girl in my dreams, she'd never go for me. Who would after they knew?

Every night, I keep falling further and further in love with someone I won't ever get. I dream about her falling too. Then I dream about being normal, but it just doesn't seem right. She always comes back though, and wipes my tears away. Then I wake up and she's not there. She's never going to be there.
