I really need to train some more, to get my strength up.

I woke up to Elden reading a chapter book obviously off my book shelf, while at the foot of my bed, where Bengal usually sleeps.

I flutter my eyes open, while looking at the panda clock hanging on the wall.

It was three o' clock. I remembered Ashida saying that him and Nico would be back around four.

Elden looks up from MY book.

"Look who's awake..." He said as I looked over to him. "Good evening miss can't-control-her wings-and-pass out." He said bluntly.

"Good evening Mr. dig-through-my-stuff-without-permission-and-read-my-stuff." I replied back in the same tone.

He rolled his eyes, "Your the one who passed out without permission."

"Since when do I need permission to pass out?" I said sitting up as a wet cloth falls in my lap.

"Well you don't just pass out without telling anyone." He said flipping a page from MY book.

"I didn't know I was going to pass out." I said looking in a different direction.

"Idiot." He muttered while getting up and stretching placing the book back on my shelf. "Don't stress about it, it's bad for the body..."

"I know, stop telling me that already." I said while still in my sitting up position.

He grabbed the towel from my lap, took a bucket from by my bed, and flew downstairs.

Bengal went back to his spot, where Elden was sitting at and started licking my toes. When he got down, he started licking his paws.

I then got up, stretched and patted down my bed hair as neatly as possible.

I opened my low window and looked out of it, while my hands were hanging out.

It felt good while the breeze was swiping on my face. The sun was basically kissing my face.

I just looked out watching town folks walk pass and hearing normal conversations. I wasn't being stalkerish or anything, but you shouldn't talk about how people's toe nails look behind there back. That was the weirdest conversation I've heard all day.

I heard Elden walk upstairs into my room.

"Hey..." Elden said kneeling by me.

I just ignored him, I didn't feel like arguing, I felt like enjoying the breeze.

"Hey..." He spoke a little louder.

I stayed looking outside trying my hardest not to respond.

"HEY!" He yelled while almost yanking the hair out of my head.

"OW!" I yelled back while holding the piece of my hair he pulled. "Would you stop pulling my hair?!" I said pushing him back some because he was practically breathing on my neck.

"Well the stop ignoring me!" He yelled while folding his arms.

"I wasn't ignoring... I was just not listening." I said looking back out the window.

"Yeah right, what are you doing hanging out the window anyway? Next thing you know a creep is going to be peeking through here while you sleep!"

"Shut up with your nonsense..." I said rolling my eyes.

"Anyway, I'm leaving, Nico and Ashida are here already." I looked up at the Panda clock. It was four fifteen.

I can't believe I was looking out the window for that long.

"I'm heading out." He said while standing up.

"Wait I'm going to." I said standing up too.

"To my house?" He said bluntly "No your not. Your staying here."

"No," I said simply. "I don't want to go to your house with that freaky uncle of yours!"

I said while slipping on my hoodie from yesterday. "I was going to walk you home."

"Walk me home?" He said unfolding his arms. "Why?"

"Urm... I was planning on going to the ice cream stand again to get ice cream on the way home." I said scratching my head.

I didn't want to tell him I was going to a training session to sign up to have a personal training.

"Okay... if you want to." We walked both walked downstairs making sure to skip the stud.

"Hey Neophyte feeling better?" Nico asked while she was finger painting with Ashida.

"Yeah I'm fine I guess." I said while giving them a smile. "Thanks for asking, really!"

"You'll have to be careful next time!" Ashida said. "Where are you kids headin'?" He asked as we were slipping on our shoes.

"I'm walking Elden home." I said while sliding the door open.

"Okay be safe!" Ashida said back giving us a warm smiled.

We walked in silence as we turned some corners.

Then Elden decided to speak first.

"So..." he said walking in front of me. "Where are you really heading?" He said with a serious expression. "Tell me the truth."

I gulped, how did he figure out I was lying? Is it that obvious?

I tried to play the cold shoulder game again pretending I didn't hear him.

"Speak." he said sternly.

I sighed and defeat and spoke up.

"I'm going to... I'm going to the training sessions." I said looking down.

He stopped as I bumped into his back.

I looked up and he was looking behind his back, while he was starring at me.

I tried not to look in his bright eyes, but couldn't resist it.

He turned completely around this time looking directly in my eye.

I looked back down.

"Look at me." He said sternly while I'm ignoring him again.

"Look at me!" He said this time yelling at me.

I immediately felt bad for ignoring him.

I finally looked at him with sadness in my eyes. Almost about to cry, but I refused my body to.

"Are you sure your willing to do this?" He asked lifting up my chin.

I nodded 'Yes' looking away.

"Look at me!" He said yelled once again.

"They are going to hurt your feelings, don't go!" He said shaking my shoulders.

"But I have to!" I said removing his hands off my shoulders viciously.

"You can't! They are just going to turn you down!" He said trying to calm me down.

"I'm going to at least try! I wish you would stop underestimating me so much Elden. I wish you'll let me just try for once!"

He went silent. He turned back around.

"If you want to get your feelings hurt then so be it!" He said as we continued to walk.

I knew he was probably right, but I still needed to just try or wasn't going to be able to sleep at night!

I sighed as we walked in total silence all the way to his house.

We walked all the way to his porch, as he slammed the door in my face as my hair flew back from the doors wind.

I just sat there on the porch looking shocked he would actually slam the door in my face with out saying goodbye. Tears forming on the corner of my eyes. I feel like I just lost a friend.

I was just about to walk off when he cracked it back open to see if I was still there.

He opened it all the way taking a look at me.

"Sorry to be so cruel to you right now... I just don't want to see your feelings hurt. I want to see you happy, I would do anything to see you happy..." He said covering half his face with one hand trying to hide his slightest embarrassment.

A tear streamed from the corner of my eye that was already forming.

"So wipe those stupid tears off your damn face." He said slamming the door again blowing the tears off my face.

He cracked open the door again.

"Oh, and good luck." He said coldly. He slammed it back again.

I smiled a little. Happy he still had some hope for me at the training session.

Making sure he didn't open the door again, I rubbed the tears of my face with my wrist, and walking down the creaky wooden porch.

Now I'm not even sure if I should even go...

Am I even sure?
