Hellooooo my dearies! I am very proud to announce that I, PanicWithCare, am back with another chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but Natalie Jordon, and Alexia...

Natalie woke up at about eight o'clock. By then I had gone back to my bed and was reading a book. "Hey." I said.

"Mornin'." She wiped the sleepiness out if her eyes. "How are you doing?" She asked.

I wasn't sure if she was talking about my injury or the fact that I was screaming my head off last night, so I settled for a shrug and a 'fine'.

"Do you want to get some breakfast?" Natalie asked to fill the silence.

"Sure." Truth was, I wasn't really in the mood for talking. I was stuck in thinking mode. After Natalie got dressed we went down to the cafeteria where only a few people sat. We ate our cereal in silence and awkwardness. Occasionally she would say something or ask a question and I would give her a one-word answer.

"What's up with you?" She finally asked. "You've hardly said anything and eaten only a few bites of your food." She pointed to my almost full bowl.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking is all."

She rolled her eyes. "I haven't had a complete conversation with you since Jordon was in our room last night. What did you two talk about?"

"Nothing…" I wasn't in the mood for her to know about Jordon's confession last night and he probably wouldn't appreciate it either.

She raised an eyebrow giving me an 'I know you're lying' look. "Tell me."

"I don't want to talk about it." I told her.

"You'll have to tell me sometime." I stuck my tongue out at her. "Or I could just ask Jordon."

"Please don't." I begged. That might possibly be worse than me having to tell her.

"Speak of the devil." She said as she looked at something behind me. I turned to see Jordon walking into the cafeteria from a night of patrolling. Man, did he look tired. I assumed that he was just coming to get something to eat before heading off to sleep for a few hours. But, instead of going to get some food he noticed us and made a beeline to our table.

"Hi, Jordon." Natalie said happily. Why was she in such a good mood?

Jordon flashed one of his award winning smiles. "Good morning, girls."

"Uh, hey." I said awkwardly. How the heck didn't he feel at all weird about what he said the night before? I was freaking out every time I just thought about it but he was acting like it never even happened. Maybe I was just overreacting about the whole thing.

I think he might have noticed that I was feeling a little weird when nobody said anything for a few moments. He ran a hand through his hair. "I'm going to go get some food and then some shut eye. Are you guys going to the Sly Fox this afternoon? We were all going to meet up at five." He asked.

"Probably." Natalie answered when I just shrugged. As a matter of fact we were going tonight. Natalie wouldn't shut up about it and insisted we went. She was all up for the socializing and hanging out. I insisted that we just stay at Wolford like I normally did when everyone went out but, no. We just had to go. "You need to socialize." Natalie had said. "You can't just sit around on your computer through the hours of the day."

"Well, see ya." He headed towards the food.

"Bye." Natalie said. It was obvious she was still drooling over him and refused to listen to me. But, at least she had toned her infatuation with him down. Once he was out of earshot she turned to me. "You are so lucky!"

"Why?" I ate another spoonful of Cheerios.

"Because that total god acknowledges that you exist." I almost spit my breakfast at her. "I just wish he would notice me." She had no idea what it was like. It might be Natalie's dream but it was my nightmare.

"Psh, you can have him if you want. I'd rather he noticed you than me." I mumbled grimly.

"Oh, come on girl. You just need to admit to yourself that you like him." I glanced over at that boy with the fiery red hair. I didn't like him, did I? Gosh, why does this stupid, cocky, self centered, gorgeous, funny, god-like guy have to make my life all confusing?

I pushed my bowl away from me. "I'm not hungry anymore." The legs of my chair screeched against the floor as I pushed it back and got up. I grabbed my half eaten bowl of cereal to go take care of it. I heard an identical sound as Natalie got up to follow me. I decided to go back to my room. After all, it was only ten o'clock; maybe I could get a little more sleep seeing as I was up through all hours of the previous night. I unlocked the door to our room and huffed as I plopped down onto my bed.

"I know there's something going on between you two." Natalie stated after a few moments.

"Huh?" I was taken off guard by her question.

"Jordon and you; There's something going on isn't there?" She inquired.

"Can we please not talk about Jordon right now?"

"Tell me what's going on between you two." Natalie insisted.

"Nothing!" I yelled. "Nothing is going on! Just because you're jealous that he is talking to me doesn't mean we have something going on!" I regretted the words the moment they left my mouth. "Nat-"

"What happened to you?" She hissed. "Ever since you got hurt yesterday you've been all freaking out. You used to at least be happy; now all you do is mope. Did your brain get all messed up or something when you fell?"

"Natalie, I'm s-"

"Just forget it." She got up and stomped towards the door; a sure sign that she was seriously pissed off. "Come find me when you've stopped with all this." With that she slammed the door shut and I heard the faint sound of her trudging down the stairs.

"Ugh!" I threw my pillow in frustration out the door. Why did Natalie think this was entirely my fault? She was the one who wouldn't leave me alone! She had to have known that eventually I was going to freak out on her. Why couldn't she just let it go? Sure, maybe I shouldn't have said the jealousy thing to her but, she wouldn't stop. God! This is all Jordon's fault! I grabbed my blanket and pulled it over my face, trying to just go to sleep and forget the fight I had with one of my closest friends. I soon had to give up because I just couldn't sleep. Natalie had gotten me all worked up and my brain refused to shut off.

I think I lied in my bed for a few hours before I realized that I probably should get up. I checked the time. 3:27. Heck yes, I had to get up! Everybody probably thought I had fallen off the face of the earth. My stomach grumbled, reminding me that I had missed lunch. Luckily I had a few energy bars stashed in my room from our last hiking trip that, as a Sherpa, I was stuck on. I ate and then got up to fix my appearance. My clothes were definitely crumpled and I seriously need to run a comb through my hair.

Since I decided to go to the Sly Fox I might as well look good right? I changed out of my t-shirt and old jeans into a nicer pair of skinny jeans and a girly blouse. I locked my door behind me and headed out of the gates and to where we kept our cars; one of them being my old jeep. I figured tat I wouldn't get a ride and was happy that I at least had a license.

Woo! I would just like to announce that my dreaded writers block is finally gone! I was thinking yesterday about how I really needed to update and then, like ten random ideas just came to me!

Sorry about the wait again... My lap top was broken and I had to use my dreaded crappy computer instead. But I finally got it fixed!

Uhh, Review! :D

And Thanks to all of the people that reviewed, favorited, etc. It really helps me out and gives me inspiration!
