The next morning, Nosedive woke up and followed his usual routine. He entered the Mess Hall, and saw that Mallory was already there, drinking coffee. He sat next to her, getting her attention.
"Morning Nosedive." Mal said.
"Morning. I've got a few questions." Dive asked.
"That is?" Mal asked.
"Why did you even come to speak to me?" Nosedive asked. "After all the pranks I've pulled on you?"
"I told you, you're the closest person. You have some, kinda, idea of what I went though, and how I protected Angela like Wildwing protected you." Mallory replied.
There was more than that answer. It was the way she felt towards him, it was the way she jumped a little internally at the very sight of him, how the feeling made her toes curl. She smiled at him.
"I just needed someone to listen to me." Mallory said. "I mean, no one else will, because they never would have experienced what I did, what I went though as a child."
"You could have gone to someone else." Nosedive said.
Mallory got a little annoyed, but didn't let it hinder her feelings.
"I didn't feel like going to someone else." Mallory said, making up an excuse. "Well, I'll see ya around."
Wildwing came in with Angela following. Both were in disbelief by what they were witnessing.
"Thanks for listening to me spilling my guts last night." Mallory said.
"No problem." Nosedive said.
Mallory and Nosedive left, going in separate directions. Angela and Wildwing looked at each other with shock.
"Well, that's a first." Wildwing said.
"They're actually…getting along." Angela said, an eyebrow shooting up.
Practice rolled around, and Wildwing wanted answers.
"What happened between you and Mallory last night?" Wildwing asked.
"Mal and I talked about our pasts, mainly hers. She just needed someone one close to her dorm to talk to." Nosedive replied.
"And she picked you?" Wildwing asked, one eyebrow shot up.
"I don't know why big bro. There's just, something funny going on with Mal. She acts funny around me." Nosedive replied.
"Girls are funny like that." Duke said, skating up to them.
"Not all girls." Wildwing said, taking defense.
"Chill." Duke said. "I didn't mean all girls."
"I don't know guys; Mal seems to be, acting weird." Dive said, as he stole a glance at Mallory
Tanya, Mallory and Angela were having their own conversation.
"It's very strange." Mal said.
"What is?" Tanya asked.
"The way I've been feeling around Nosedive." Mal replied. "It's something I've never felt before."
"Can you describe it?" Angela asked.
"I'll try. Inside, I jump a little at the very sight of him, how the feeling make my toes curl. It feels like someone punched me, I feel woozy when I see him." Mal replied.
"I think it points to one conclusion." Tanya said.
"What's that?" Mal asked.
"You've got a crush." Tanya replied.
"A crush?" Mal asked.
"Yep. You're in love with him." Angela replied.
There was a pause.
"I've got a question." Tanya said. "Do you like the way you're feeling towards Nosedive?"
"I don't know. Last night, I went and talked to Nosedive, about things that I've never told anyone about, not even you Angie." Mal replied.
"But Nosedive loves to pull pranks on you, and only you." Angela said.
"I don't know why he does that." Mal said.
"The feeling's going to keep bugging you until you admit them inside of yourself." Tanya said.
"I guess." Mal said, looking over towards Dive.
Once the buzzard rang, practice was over. After practice, Mallory went to her room to think. Mal lay down on her bed, not knowing what to do about her feelings for Nosedive.
That night, Mal decided to talk to Dive again.
