Legend has it that the first person to find him will be granted a wish—either

2. All is not lost?

"Blue, is everything ok? ", Gansey asked in such a worried tone that it made Blue's face turn as red as a rose. She gave him a quick nod and sprinted out the door. Blue stopped for a second and this small guilt inside of her had made her glance behind. She caught a glimpse of Gansey's face which looked pained for a second and then confused and then finally his usual self. When she looked back she saw Adam was eyeing herself and Gansey in this suspicious manner. When he noticed her looking at him, his features softened and he asked if she was ready to go. Before she responded he took her hand and walked out of the apartment.

Blue was back home and it was already midnight. They hadn't done much talking; Just sat down there and ate their ice-cream in silence. Blue began to think of what happened earlier that day. Gansey's pained face…Adam's forcefulness…he had changed. She remembered that just a few months ago, how earnestly he would take her hand. Even the feel of his sweaty palms was somehow soothing. It would make her feel less nervous because she knew she had someone to share the feeling with. He just wasn't the same Adam anymore whose ears would go pink when he was embarrassed. He was more of a stranger now. She still couldn't figure out Gansey though, there was nothing going on between them, right? She had to get her thoughts clear so she grabbed her sack and started looking for her journal. She moved the contents here and there, not really focusing on her rucksack but when she realized that it wasn't there, she started to panic. "Where could it be?!", she thought. Suddenly she remembered how she fell in Gansey's room and in what a haste she grabbed her rucksack and ran. It must have been there! What if Gansey had found it! What if he took things the wrong way! These thoughts loomed in Blue's head like a hurricane. She had to get her journal back now! She quickly changed out of her dressing gown and slippers into her daily attire. "Well, here goes nothing!" , Blue whispered to herself and set off to Gansey's apartment.
