Okay, so the latest review I got in my e-mail inbox convinced me to continue this story. Don't you feel special? LOL ;; Okay, no more rambling, on to the story!
Caitlin's P.O.V.
Caitlin just couldn't get over the fact that Syrus had saved her life. She believed everything he said, even though she had trouble remembering. It was just… no one had ever done anything like that for her before. Now she sat under a big oak tree, close to the Obelisk Blue dorm. Caitlin gazed at the sky, wondering if Syrus had done that because he would have done it for anybody—or had done it out of love. Caitlin shook her head. She knew that most girls would have immediantly thought it was out of love, because that's what most girls wanted out of life. Caitlin knew all of the love signs, but it was hard for it to sink in. Caitlin's thoughts wandered to her first day at the academy, when she had noticed Syrus gazing at her. Caitlin smiled. She remembered how cute Syrus had looked, with his small glasses almost falling off of his nose, and his light blue hair… Caitlin stopped herself from thinking anything about Syrus like this. She sighed. Unlike most girls, Caitlin had never had a crush before. 'Except for one…' a sly voice said in her head. Caitlin's eyes went wide, and she closed her eyes tight, trying to forget… Caitlin had had only one crush, this was true. It was in 8th grade, when she was still in junior high. His name had been Bryan. He was a very good student, and wasn't bad looking either. One day, just before the winter dance, he had asked Caitlin to go to the dance with him. Caitlin had been stunned. True, she had a crush on the guy, but in school, she was an invisible wall, one of the people no one notices. Bryan, however, was very popular, and thanks to his good looks, girls adored him. Reluctantly, she had accepted the invitation. On the day of the dance, however, he had taken her on a stroll. Of course, Caitlin's thoughts were on how romantic this was, and she was excited that she might get her first kiss. But, she had been waaay off. Instead, he had attempted to kill her by smashing her skull with a wrench he had put in his pocket, which had been hidden by his jacket. Doing her best to defend herself, something unusual happened. Bryan had suddenly staggered back, and the wrench had been suspended in the air and had hit him with so much force that he was knocked unconscious. Caitlin was very scared, and had ran to her house as quickly as she could. She had, of course, called the police to pick the man up, and he went to jail for a while. She was sure that she had caused the wrench to act that way—it had happened before, but with other things. She had always been very careful about what she thought ever since then, when it had actually hurt someone. She knew that he had tried to kill her, but she felt bad all the same. She remembered the look of hatred on Bryan's face, how fiercely he had said "You'll pay, I'll find you, and I'll kill you!" So, she never had a crush again… but now, it was happening all over again. But, with Syrus. Caitlin also doubted that Syrus would attempt to kill her, as well. Caitlin opened her eyes again, and then heard something, or someone, walking towards her. Slowly, Caitlin turned around. It was Alexis Rhodes. Caitlin had heard about her, and rumor had it that she was quite the dueler, and some people said she had a crush on Jaden. Caitlin turned around again. "Yes?" Caitlin asked dryly without turning around. "Um, hi… you're Caitlin, right? The girl who Syrus Truesdale saved?" Alexis asked, sitting next to Caitlin. "Why?" Caitlin asked sharply, turning to Alexis. Caitlin didn't mean to sound mean, she just wasn't sure about the students from the Obelisk Blue dorm. "Don't worry, I'm good. I'm not like the other Obelisk Blue students, who think they're better than everyone else," Alexis said firmly. Caitlin managed a small smile. "I was wondering, if you might, you know… want a girl to girl talk?" Alexis asked. "Girl to girl?" Caitlin asked, puzzled. Caitlin had never really had all that many friends, and was a bit confused. "You mean talk about out crushes and stuff?" Caitlin raised her eyebrows. Caitlin wasn't completely sure that she wanted to talk about her feelings for people—that was too personal. "Um… okay, I guess," Caitlin said nervously. "Great!" Alexis exclaimed. She was obviously happy. "So, um… what did you want to ask me?" Caitlin asked cautiously. "Do you like Syrus?" Alexis asked excitedly. "Sure. He's a great friend, you know, saving my life and all… even if he hadn't saved my life, I would have liked him," Caitlin responded, glad that the question had been so easy. "No, you don't get it. I mean, do you love him," Alexis corrected her. "Um…" Caitlin went red. She had never really thought of it… well, she had, but… "I'm not sure….?" Caitlin had no idea what she should say. Alexis smiled. "You don't know, do you? Well, it's obvious he likes you," Alexis said. "What do you mean?" Caitlin asked quietly, even though she knew what was coming. "Duh, he saved your life. He has to like you. And I think more than a friend," Alexis replied in a sly voice. "But why? Why does he like me?" Caitlin demanded. "It's not like I'm pretty or anything" Caitlin said furiously. "Yes, you are pretty. You're also smart and a pretty decent dueler," Alexis said. "Yeah, right," Caitlin said sarcastically. "Seriously! You are!" Alexis insisted. "Yeah, whatever," Caitlin muttered. "Look, it's getting kind of late, so I'm going back to my dorm. Thanks for the talk, Alexis. Sorry I'm acting so crabby. I'm just not feeling so great," Caitlin apologized. "It's okay," Alexis smiled. "Well, see you around," Alexis called as she headed off to her dorm. "Yeah, see you around…" Caitlin said quietly as she walked back to her dorm. Caitlin suddenly heard a scream, but it wasn't a girl, and it was coming from her dorm. Caitlin ran and threw open the door. Caitlin screamed. It was Bryan.
