What They Wanted
She thought he wanted the pearl. Not her. He was too good for her. Too cool. Too handsome. She thought he wanted the glory. The wonder of being a wizard. Not her. He only protected the jewel that was inside her. Just the jewel. Not the girl. She wanted him. He didn't want her. That's what she thought.
He thought she wanted some other guy. Not him. She was too good for him. Too cute. Too beautiful. He thought she wanted to meet new people. To be popular with the boys like his rival. Not him. She only stayed with him because he protected the jewel inside her. Just the jewel. Not the boy. He wanted her. She didn't want him. That's what he thought.
But what they thought...was wrong...And secretly...they wanted each other.
