The next morning…

Zanab's POV:

Last night was epic. Zaineb's husband is awesome and once Dahlia introduced us to Ichijou… he seemed pretty cool, too. Apparently, she met him at the party and him and Night've been friends forever.

We think Dahlia went home with him because like… she disappeared 'round 11:00 PM and texted Heena to tell us that she'd be home today.

Seeing Kyoko and Ren again was… mind-blowing. They were married; it seemed that Ren asked her out right after graduation and that since then, his performance in the remake of that old, famous show had skyrocketed(I think the remake was called 'Dark Moon').
Kyoko also attained her fame and Sho admitted it in his heart (if not verbally) that she was better than him. She still hadn't become more famous than him, but she was very famous because of her astounding performance of Mio.

We played Truth or Dare for a few hours, I only got picked once… for truth. The question was… "Have you ever been in love?" Luckily, the 'nunga bunga kachunga' bell rang right then to reveal 5 pizza pies from 'Jerry's Pizza'.

I've been pondering that question since then and I can't find an answer. I think there's been close calls, but never something real.
Honestly, I never thought there was such a thing as 'true love' until last night. I'd always thought it was 'only in movies' or 'only in books', I thought the only real way to love somebody was fiction and fictional characters.

Last night, I saw how wrong I was.

The pure glee, the shining eyes, the love in the air was so thick that I could feel it, choking me… strangling me… enticing me. Wanting me to come into it, to be enveloped in the bittersweet stickiness called love.

I thought it was stupid and pointless, but looking at how Kyoko and Ren were, Zaineb and Night were, even how Dahlia and Ichijou were… I found myself with a strange loneliness, an emptiness, a sadness I had not felt since my second year of college, and then I realized it.

I realized…

I was JEALOUS!
