Flowergirl15: I haven't actually read flashback yet, so please no spoilers. Thank you so much for the review!
POV Sophie:
Foxfire was back in session now. Things were somewhat normal with Keefe, though he flirted with me a bit less. Fitz and Linh were still dating, and Dex was working up the nerve to ask Biana out. I was trying to avoid spending time with both Fitz and Linh, but when I saw them together it strangely didn't hurt that much. After putting it off so I didn't have to see Fitz and hear about his relationship with Linh, I finally had to do some cognate training with him.
Hi Fitz. Ugggggghhhhhhhhhhhh.
Hi Sophie.
So, um, now that I told you my secret, what should we do for a trust exercise?
Well, actually, about your secret…
What?
Linh and I broke up. WHAT?
Oh, I'm so sorry, what happened?
She was getting picked on for being a twin, but I was talking with my mentor and I didn't notice.
Oh. Um, shouldn't I be elated? Maybe I just feel bad for Fitz.
So, maybe, do you want to go out with me?
Um. Maybe we should give it time, Linh will be really mad if you immediately go out with someone else. Also, I don't know if I want him anymore.
Good point.
So, um, trust exercises, trust exercises,
What's your favorite color? That was the best question he could come up with? Then again, I couldn't come up with anything, so I shouldn't judge.
I expected it to be teal. Instead, an ice blue color filled my thoughts- the same ice blue as Keefe Sencen's eyes.
What's yours? I asked, trying to ignore that my favorite color was no longer the color of Fitz's eyes.
Green.
I checked my watch. I should go.
Why?
I invited Keefe over- and Mom's making mallowmelt. (Does anyone else ship Mallowphie? Sophiemelt? I like Sophiemelt)
Of course I can't deprive you of mallowmelt. See you later. I leaped away.
"Hi mom, thanks for the mallowmelt, where's Keefe? MALLOWMELT!"
Edaline laughed. "Keefe's upstairs in your room. He borrowed an elixir from Dex for Iggy."
I ran upstairs. "Awwwwwwwwww, Iggy's teal!"
Keefe laughed. "I know it's your favorite color."
"Actually… not anymore."
"What?" I looked into his ice blue eyes, eyes of my new favorite color.
"So, Fitz and I were doing cognate training. He and Linh broke up-"
"Yeah, I heard about that. How's he doing?"
"He asked me out."
Keefe smiled, but it was forced. "Congratulations."
"So, remember your dad's book about heart emotions and head emotions?"
"Yeah. What does that have to do with anything?"
"My head was telling me I liked Fitz. But my heart wanted someone else."
"And who would that be?"
I leaned close to him. "You." I whispered. And then I kissed him. I. Kissed. Keefe. Sencen.
And it was the greatest experience of my life.
In the reviews, please tell me if you want me to do this chapter from Keefe's POV as well. I kind of want to, but you might want me to just move on with the story. See how I'm automatically assuming you'll review? Also, it wouldn't hurt if you were to favorite the story (Thank you Flowergirl15!).
