"Oh, lighten up Arlo!", smiled at the tall blonde, " It was only a joke. "

Crossing his arms, "Well I don't think calling me a 'fan-girl' is funny.", Arlo spat.

" You know," , I continued, a smirk contorting my lips, "The only reason you'd be so upset is if it was true."

That earned me a glare. I decided to stop there, but only after a few quiet chuckles.

Sitting back, I leaned on my arms against the bed. I looked around the room again, trying to pick out interesting details.

On the far side of the room, I saw something I didn't earlier; a mirror. I could see a clear image of, apparently,   myself, although quite small due to distance.

I looked like a mess. My midnight hair was sticking up in numerous places, completely out of any order. I tried arranging it a bit but my efforts were fruitless. That wide-ass bandage isn't exactly helping either. I gave up.

Moving my gaze up from my disaster of a reflection, I saw Sera talking to Doc. I wonder what they're talking about. Anyway, I took a moment to swoon over and appreciate her looks again. I couldn't believe someone so beautiful was my best friend.

Wow. When you wake up with no memories, only to find out you're some friendzoned loser. I sighed. I was hoping she would tell me she's my girlfriend! Not my best friend. I face palmed myself. But I guess that's better than nothing.

Closing my eyes, I spent the next few moments thinking about how kind Sera was to me. I had kept so many secrets from her, yet she didn't abandon me. I don't deserve a girl as amazing as her.

Opening my eyes again, I was bedazzled by Sera's sparkling, baby blue orbs. I felt my knees weaken. Thankfully, I was sitting, so it wasn't noticeable.

Wait! Is she looking at me?! My heart skipped a beat, I felt my face burn up and there was a tingly sensation in my cheeks. Crap! I buried my face in my hands, trying to hide my radiating blush.

Suddenly, I heard a satisfied chuckle coming from Arlo's direction, "Hmm, it seems Johnny-boy has a crush.", the blonde snickered.

" Shut up.",my voice was muffeled, my face still in my hands.

"Look, this is new information.", he smirked, " Let me have my fun."

"Wait.", I looked up at him, " I didn't like her before?"

"So you like her now?", he smiled wickedly.

" tch. No-oo.", I lied

Arlo stopped smiling, "I see, old habits die hard, huh?"

I knew what he meant. I can't keep things from her again. I'll tell her. I felt as if my stomach was about to knot itself and implode. Mmm...maybe one day.
