Wildwing knocked on Nosedive's door, but no one answered, making him worry, since he'd always answer the door.
"Nosedive! It's Wildwing! I know you're in there!" Wildwing said.
"Let yourself in bro." Dive said.
Wildwing opened the door and walked right up to Nosedive. He took a seat next to his moping brother.
"Is something bothering you?" Wildwing asked. "You're, acting strange. We ordered pizza and everyone came to eat, but you didn't, after Angela told you that supper was ready."
"I'm fine." Dive said.
"I know when something's bothering you. Don't you want to talk about it, you know, let it out?" Wildwing asked.
"Mal's got feelings for me." Dive blurted out.
"What?" Wildwing asked.
"You heard what I said." Dive replied. "I just need time for it to sink in. So I'd kindly appreciate it if you'd just leave me alone for a while."
That took Wildwing completely by surprise.
"If you want me to leave, I will." Wildwing said, his feelings a little hurt
Wildwing was just about to leave when Nosedive stopped him.
"Wait! Don't leave. I need someone to talk to. I'm sorry for snapping at you. I'm just so confused." Nosedive said. "I need some advice."
"That's what I'm here for." Wildwing said, walking towards the couch and sitting down.
"What do you do when someone who you think hates you, tells you that she's got feelings for you?" Dive asked.
"I'm afraid I don't understand what you're getting at." Wildwing replied, confused.
"When you and Angie really met at summer camp years ago, did you have feelings for her right away?" Dive asked.
"No, and she didn't have feelings for me either." Wildwing replied. "Do you think that you have feelings for Mal?"
Nosedive didn't answer for a couple minutes.
"I just don't know how I feel, about Mal, about anything or anyone." Dive replied
There was another pause.
"When did you know that you were in love with Angie?" Dive asked.
"I just, knew." Wildwing replied, "Like you will know if you're in love with Mallory. It's just a feeling that you get."
Wildwing paused.
"It looks like Mal made the first move." Wildwing said.
"What do you mean?" Nosedive asked.
"She made the first move by admitting to you and to herself that she in love with you." Wildwing replied.
"But not in the same context." Dive said.
"It's time for you to take the next step, and tell her how you feel." Wildwing said.
"Then what happens?" Dive asked.
"The rest is up to fate." Wildwing answered, getting up again.
"Wait, I've got a couple more questions." Dive said.
"For a careless free spirited teen, you've got a lot of questions when it comes to love." Wildwing joked as he sat back down.
"I've never been in love before!" Dive said. "Is Angie the one? And if she is, how did you know?"
"Wow, those are straight-to-the-point questions." Wildwing replied awkwardly. "To tell you the truth, neither Angie nor I know if we're meant to be together Dive. We've just became an item again. But as time goes on, she and I will find out and accept whatever it is."
There was a pause.
"Is that all?" Wildwing asked.
"For now I guess." Nosedive replied.
Wildwing was about to leave again when Dive stopped him in his tracks.
"Hey bro," Dive said.
"Yeah?" Wildwing asked.
"Thanks for the advice. I'll think about what you said." Nosedive replied.
"Anytime Dive." Wildwing said, proceeding to the door. "Gonna join us for pizza? We got your favorite."
"Later. I still need to think a little bit more." Dive replied.
"Alright. I'll save ya a slice." Wildwing said.
"Yeah, and make sure that Duke doesn't take the last slice. You remember what happened the last time." Dive said.
"I'll make sure." Wildwing replied with a chuckle.
Wildwing left Nosedive to sort out everything. Angela was in the mess hall chatting with Duke and Grin when Wildwing returned. Angela glanced at him as he took his place next to her.
"Did you find out what's going on with Dive?" Angela asked, concerned.
"Yep." Wildwing replied, taking a bite of pizza.
"What was it?" Duke asked.
"Mal just told him something he'd never expected to hear." Wildwing replied.
"What did she say?" Duke asked.
"From what Dive has told me, Mal has feelings for him." Wildwing replied.
"She told Tanya and me at practice." Angela said, looking down at the crust of her finished pizza. "It's partly our fault."
"Why?" Grin asked.
"Tanya and I told her to admit how she felt about Dive inside herself. I guess she took the advice differently and thought we told her to tell him how she felt." Angela replied, looking at him. "I'm very concerned about her."
"You should Angie, she's your sister." Duke said.
Wildwing scanned the room for Mallory, but she wasn't in the room.
"Speaking of your sister Ang, have you seen her?" Wildwing asked. "She's not here."
"She didn't come when I told her that supper was ready." Angela replied.
"Something must be wrong, especially if she was going to miss supper." Duke said.
"I'm gonna go talk to her, to find out what's going on." Angela said.
Angela took one last sip of her Pepsi before putting the empty cup on the counter. She got up and left, heading towards Mal's dorm.
