Chapter 14 (Ned)

I couldn't sleep at all last night. Whenever I closed my eyes I could see her face. I needed to get my feelings straight. I didn't care about her, I could barley tolerate her. I had to because of the plan. That was the only reason to be around her. I kept telling myself this, but it wasn't working. I knew the real reason, it was driving me insane. But how do you get over a girl you have to see?

How had this brainless Tomas made me care about her? "She's not brainless," something said in my mind. "She's intelligent, not an Ekat, but still. She's sweet, and funny, and nice, when she's not threatening me, and beautiful, and she makes my heart flutter when she smiles. Need I go on?"

"No," I answered out loud, but in a whisper. "Now the other side needs to speak." It was like the two little Ned's were on my shoulders, one angel one devil, but which was which?

"You're a logical person," the other one said in my head. "So think of it logically. What do you have to gain by liking her? You're already probably dead because you had to listen to that guy and go kiss her. What do you think she'd do if she found out you like her? She'd tare you to shreds. And she would never like you anyway, she's to stupid to."

"She's not stupid!"

"Yes she is! So shut up!"

"You shut up! You're the one telling him not to go for possible love!"

"What could he possibly have to gain from 'possible love'?"

"What doesn't he?"

"Both of you shut up!" I whispered. This was going nowhere and giving me a headache. I looked at the clock to see that it was 11:30. Crud, I'm late. I'm supposed to meat Madison to talk about how we think the date went. Maybe being late is a good thing, I'll just skip to prove how I don't care!

A/N: I know really short chapter but I had to make it a cliffy and I wanted the next part to me from Madison's POV. I still hope you like it, and remember, everytime I get some awesome reviews it makes me want to update faster! (also my Comm. Arts teacher wanted to see the reviews I'm getting so you could be helping with some extra credit)
