After dinner, we all headed back to our rooms.
"You know, I think Pietro has a crush on you." Kitty said while putting on a pink sweater
"What makes you so sure?" I asked suspiciously
"Isn't it obvious? Whenever you're around him, he looks at you for more than 5 seconds." She teased
"Well, maybe he just finds me weird looking. I mean- I don't want to ruin our friendship all because of this stupid love bug" I replied while forcing myself not to blush.
She yawned and got into bed, "Well suit yourself, goodnight Alice…." After 10 seconds she was fast asleep.
"Good night Kitty."
When I looked out the window I saw Pietro in his room talking on the phone. I guess he's probably talking to Lance about Kitty right now. I do hope Lance forgives her.
…
I never had a crush on anyone in my entire life. It's probably because I'm afraid of not being loved back. I know I found some evidence that Pietro likes me; like the time we almost kissed then we were disturbed by his father Magneto, and also knowing that he's doing this mission to keep me safe from harm.
I do like him, but I'm just afraid to admit it to anyone. I don't even have the guts to tell him.
…..
I sighed and tried my best to go to sleep. This confused feeling inside makes me sick… but in the same time…. It makes me feel warm.
[PIETRO'S SIDE]
I looked up over Alice's bedroom window and saw her fast asleep. I couldn't help but smile whenever I see her.
"You really like her don't you?" Kurt's voice came which made me jump
"Dude, don't do that!" I complained.
"Sorry," he said as he sat down in his bed, "So do you like her or what?"
"Isn't it obvious?" I replied, "Do you ever see me stare at any girl in school like this before?"
He shook his head, "Nope. Alice seems to be the first girl you've fallen in love with." He commented
"What?" did he say Love? I never used that word in my entire life, nor did anyone have ever said that to me.
Kurt laughed lightly and put his head on his pillow, "I had a crush on Alice ever since she came walking in the hallway on her first day of school," he told me with a sigh, "but then I had to push down my feelings to think of her only as a friend because I know you love her."
"What makes you so sure that it's love?" I fought back.
"I saw you from a far…" He sat up, "You were running to class as fast as usual, but when Alice appeared in the locker room…. You stopped from where you stood and looked at her."
"Well yeah, but isn't that what everyone does if they only like someone?" I asked
"No Pietro, I don't just mean look with your two eyes, I meant as in you actually looked at her and saw that she was the only visible thing to you when you were running faster than the speed of light. Does that ever happen to you before?" he asked curiously
For the first time I actually agreed something with the X-Men. Of course I can see things when I'm running fast, but when I saw Alice I just stopped and stared.
"No…" I whispered looking out of thin air as I thought about it
"Some word of advice, don't lose her. You'd be very disappointed if she's suddenly out of your life." He said as he yawned.
"I'd be more disappointed if she doesn't feel the same." I told to myself.
I went straight to bed after talking to Kurt for another 10 minutes. To be honest, he doesn't seem to be such a bad guy. Now that I know how I feel for Alice, I just need to know how she feels about me.
