Reflections 13
Yellow on Green
I've never met anyone more relaxed than Bridge.
He has the ability to have more energy than anyone I know, including Syd on caffeine; or he can be so still you swear he's sleeping when he's meditating. His easygoing manner intrigued me. His fascination with buttery toast frightened me; his psychic powers amazed me and his thoughtfulness made me fall in love with him.
With Bridge, there are no ulterior motives, its totally sincere. He goes out of his way to make others happy. It's so funny to watch him and Syd together; they have this other language that only the two of them know. It's probably because they're both super bubbly and friendly. But there's more to them than their enthusiasium for life.
I have to give him credit for rooming with Sky, because at the beginning he was so unbearable. But no one is as persistent as Bridge, how can you not be friends with someone who cares for people so much?
I was drawn to him because he was so different from any other boy I knew. He was innocent and hopeful. He even made me hopeful that my life after SPD had potential. He taught me how to relax. To enjoy life as it comes. Being a ranger you can't afford to take it for granted. He would offer to take me for a walk when I was stressed or listen to me vent out my frustrations. Bridge always has a positive outlook on what's happening; he never doubts that we will win.
It didn't take long for me to fall for the green ranger. His kindness often left me speechless. If I fell asleep in the common room and found myself covered with a blanket, I knew Bridge had been there. He would bring me hot chocolate when I had a bad day. It's hard not to develop feelings when you live with someone day in and day out. I mean if Sky could fall prey to a relationship, what chance do they rest of us have? Bridge would call it fate.
I just wish I knew how he really felt. He treated Syd almost the same way and they're just friends. That's just who he is. Completely unselfish.
As long as I had Jack, I knew I would be okay. I just didn't know that I would make three other friends. The green ranger has become a close ally to me in our fight against Grumm.
I've even learned to tolerate buttery toast.
