When he first entered the school, I could tell there was something there. But I couldn't do anything about it. Mostly when it means I hurt someone, I care for. But then I must put my happiness away for others. Lucky for me, that is what I do best.
When Rafael first came to the school, I didn't know that he would steal my breath away. But of course, my twin sister always gets to them first. Because she has feelings for him, I will put mine away and never speak of them. I will always put my sister's happiness first. That's what siblings do for each other.
But I will not lie and not say there are feelings there, mostly when getting to know Rafael better. He is a unique, caring, sweet guy. He cares for his friends. How can you go so wrong with that? But it could never be for us because my sister was falling for him first.
Since everything is going on with the school and the monsters. My sister Lizzie, Hope, and our friends have been trying to help bring the school together and keep it safe. Mostly when we don't always know what the threat is. All of it was post to fairytales or muses. It looks like everything did have to start somewhere, and it is coming here for some reason.
But I have been distracted lately because I have been thinking about this one moment. When I kissed Rafael, I did it to get power to set us free and everything. But we kissed, and I did like it. No one knows about it. We haven't talked about it since. I know I can't talk about it because if Lizzie found out, she would hate me.
After the big spider problem, everything seemed like it all went back to normal. Or at least normal to us is. I have been trying my best not to talk to Rafael about what happened between us. I don't know what to say. Except it could never happen again. Ever! I hope no one saw it.
"Josie, there you are. I have been looking for you. I wanted to talk to you." Hope said, coming up to me.
Hope and I have been trying to be friends. I know Lizzie isn't hundred percent with it. But it's what is suitable for us all. Also, it is for our father. But truthfully, Hope and I have been getting along well. I think our friendship is good.
"Yeah, what's going on?" I asked her.
"So, I know this is something you might not want to talk about, but I can't hold it anymore. I know you kissed Rafael. What was all that about?" She said.
I know it was too good to be true. But, of course, someone saw us. I hope Lizzie didn't see it. I don't need her to hate me. But if she saw it, I would have already known about it. But maybe she is holding it for a rainy day. I don't know.
"You did. I can explain. We were stuck, and I couldn't use my hands to draw power from Rafael. I couldn't think of any other way. Did Lizzie see? Please tell me Lizzie didn't see." I tried to explain to her.
"Don't worry, Lizzie didn't see. I thought that was what you were doing. But I know you like him. So why won't you admit it? Why hide it?" She asked me.
"Lizzie likes him. I can't do that to her. She is my sister. She fell for him first. But anyway, they all fall for her. Not me." I told her.
"I don't know about that. I see the way he looks at you, and he doesn't like your sister that way. I think he haves' feelings for you. It would be best if you were happy for once. Your sister doesn't have to get every guy. So, what are you waiting for?" She told me.
"Hope, you are a good friend and look out for me. But I can't do that to Lizzie even if he doesn't like her that away. If I don't talk about it never happens. Right? Right." I said.
"Well, then what are you going to do if he tries to be with you?" She asked me.
"I don't know. Why do you ask?" I asked her, concerned.
"Don't turn around if you don't want to talk about it. Walk forward and don't look back. It will buy you time until later." Hope said. It was more a warning that he was coming. So I took her word and left. I don't know what to say to him. So, right now, this is the best option.
