"W-what!?" The happy music playing inside her head suddenly stopped. Was she hearing him right? "Are you kidding or what?"
"Look. I know you're shocked – so was I. I found out about it only 2 year ago." He said, thinking it would make her feel better. It did not. Sydney sank on the settee.
"Why didn't they tell me?" She was staring at a blank. Things were happening fast. Too fast.
He kneeled to her level and held her hands; their eyes met. Suddenly, Syd forgot about everything and noticed how seemingly meaningful his eyes were. "Sydney, I admit, at first, I was completely against the whole engagement thing. --- But when I saw you..."
Just when things were getting dreamier for Syd, someone entered the room and made her remember the reality she should be in.
"Commander Crug--"" Sky stopped upon seeing the girl he loves hand in hand with a stranger.
"Sky?" Syd felt like she had the obligation to tell him that nothing was going on between her James.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt." He apologized and immediately left the room.
James was clueless on what was going on. "Is he your boyfriend?"
--------
"Sky--" Syd barged in the boys' quarters where he found all of his teammates. All of them were staring at her; except for Sky who was lying on his bed, hands behind his head.
"H-hey. What are you all doing in here?" No one responded. They looked at Sky who, at the moment, was pretending like she wasn't even in the room.
He finally sat up and spoke. "So, where's your boyfriend, Cadet Drew?" His voice sounded cold. Syd hasn't heard him speak like this in years. The last time was when they battled against the one who killed his father. This was an entirely different situation. He was being cold to her.
"Are you talking about James? 'Coz he's not my--" She started explaining but Sky disrupted.
"Save your explanation. We both know that it's none of my business." He looked at her and left the room.
"Then why do you sound so affected?" She questioned, though it was a little too late since Sky already left.
Jack and Bridge stood up and followed Sky. "Don't worry about him. He's just a little – shaken."
Z stood up and approached Syd. "You've got a lot of things to explain."
-------
"What!? Engaged? B-but how?" Z was confused by her teammates sudden revelation.
Syd rubbed her forehead. She was starting to have a migraine. "I'm as clueless as you, Z. My parents never told me anything about this."
"You should probably ask them about it now." Syd followed Z's suggestion and grabbed the phone. She was on the verge of dialing the number when she realized something.
"I can't believe I forgot that my parents are out of the country." She dropped the phone and jumped onto Z's bed. "I'll try calling them later."
"So, how was he?"
"Who? James?" She liked how saying his name made her feel tingly inside. Oh no. Was she crushing on him or what?
"Yes, of course!"
"He's okay…" She remembered how physically perfect he seemed when she first saw him. Z gave her the I-don't-believe-you look.
"Ok! He'stotallyhot!" Syd admitted without even pausing.
Z gasped. "I think I'd have to see this guy. – So, if this thing's for real, what about Sky?" He voice changed from interested to concern.
"What about Sky? There's NOTHING going on between the two of us. – Hey, I think we should grab dinner." She quickly changed the topic.
"He cares about you."
"No. He doesn't." Syd gave a frown, remembering how he cold he was to her.
"He was affected when he saw you with James, wasn't he?"
