Chapter Three Confliction

"Alice, do you ever wonder what the opposite gender is thinking?" I mumbled in frustration as I turned to look over at Alice who was sitting in a dark, red cushioned chair.

"I presume you're referring to Black. Am I correct?" Alice answered with a slight smile.

"No! Absolutely not!" I exclaimed loudly with a scowl. "Ugh! Who would ever care what he thinks about!"

"So you never wonder what Black is thinking?" Alice asked with a mischievious look in her eyes and a grin.

"Well..., I replied scratching my head with a shrug. "I guess sometimes."

"Oh?" Alice questioned with new found interest in her voice and a look of intriguement. "So did something happen?"

"Yes and no." I replied with a sigh.

"Tell me." Alice said looking at me pleadingly for information. "Please?"

Should I tell her? I thought pondering it over. Or not?

I mean not a lot happened, but something sorta did. She was my best friend and all, but I kind of had a weird feeling that something bad would happen if I did. I mean nothing terrible. Let's just say embarrassing. Because knowing Alice she would probably tease me about it.

I'm going to tell her. I thought finally deciding and making up my mind. Alice is my best friend. She has a right to know.

"First, just answer me one thing." I said in a serious tone looking at Alice.

"Yes?" Alice replied.

"Do you ever wonder what guys think about, too?" I asked quickly in embarrassment.

"Of course I do!" Alice cried happily smiling.

"Really?" I questioned in shock.

Alice nodded looking at me contemplatively with a slight smile.

"What?" I cried in desperation. "What is it? You're giving me a weird look."

"Oh. Nothing." Alice said with a wave of her hand. "Nothing at all. I just noticed somebody is starting to take an interest in the opposite gender."

"Am not!" I protested with a slight blush. "I have no interest in them whatsoever."

"What about Black?" Alice asked coyly with a hint of amusement in her voice.

"He's the same as the rest." I replied flatly with a shrug.

"You're no fun!" Alice exclaimed with a pout.

"Sorry for being a serious person." I replied bluntly. "I'm just not interested in guys right now. I'm more focused on getting back to our world."

"Why's that?" Alice asked sadly.

"No! That came out wrong sorry!" I exclaimed in a fluster scratching my head. "I'm just not good with words. I'm going to miss you all and everything I just miss-,"

"Home," Alice replied with a nod of her head and an understanding smile. "I understand. I know what you mean."

"Huh?" I questioned confused.

"I was just kidding. It's just so funny to see you get so flustered over such little things!" Alice replied as she bursted out laughing.

"Why you!" I exclaimed angrily as I threw a red, satin pillow on my bed at Alice as I also began to burst out laughing. "You're such a trickster! Ha ha ha! But I guess it is pretty funny to see me get flustered since I'm always so serious."

I smiled happily as the pillow hit Alice in the face and flopped into her lap.

"Right back at ya!" Alice exclaimed as she grapped my pillow and threw it at me. The pillow hit me in the shoulder as I looked at Alice in shock and then grinned.

"Oh, it's on now!" I yelled as I grabbed the pillow she had thrown at me along with a second one as I pelted them at her.

"Kyaah!" Alice cried in surprise as she tried to duck for cover.

This is so much fun! I thought with a giggle.

I hardly ever had fun, and it was hard for me to remember the last time I truly did. Of course I had fun pestering and teasing Joker, but this was different. It had really been a long time since the last time I had had fun with a friend. I smiled and shook my head dismissing the thought.

"Miss Erinwald!" exclaimed a voice in panic as someone burst through the door.

It was Gray.
