Chapter 16:
    She’s Topic A-Z with Me, If Only She Could
See
    And now it was February 10 th and
Alias was wandering around the apartment with no idea what to do
with himself. He could Alex playing “Miss Murder” on Rock Band and
he could hear Christophe on his cell phone, talking to Amethyst. He
sighed, “Amethyst”. He knew that she was taken, knew he couldn’t
win and as much as he hated to admit it, couldn’t get over her. Well what am I going to do? Confess It to her? Bullshit, He
thought. “She didn’t like me from the first day, not that I made
the best first impression,” He said regretfully. She would
probably laugh at me anyways, not that I would blame her , he
thought. He wanted an escape from his thoughts because It plagued
him to even whisper it, thinking it hurt and drove him crazy, “But
what if we were?” He whispered aloud as he collapsed onto his bed. Why does this have to happen? He thought. He could have
anyone he wants, girls fall at his fucking feet and…and the one he
picks has to be…this sucks. “I shouldn’t get so worked up over
a girl,” He said weakly. “But she’s not a girl, she’s the girl,” he mumbled. He heard a knock at the door,
    “Hey there baby brother,” Christophe said
with a smirk.
    “Please get out,” Alias replied briskly.
    “Fine, check your phone though,” Christophe
says while he pulls the door close again. He looks at his phone and
sees that he has five missed text messages from Amethyst, he opened
the most recent one.

    Can you come and play with me?
    Play what?
    The wii or soccer, with me and sunny?
    You and sunny?
    She wants’ to like, chill with you too, come
over?
    Is Christophe coming with us?
    Nah, that would be rude, and lovesick
inducing
    What?
    She can explain later if she wants to, are
you coming or what?
    Be there in 2 minutes, open your window
    K, later
    “Sunny, you remember Alias right?” Amethyst
asked as he sat on the chair in her room.
    “Yeah, hi,” She said.
    “Hey you guys brought coats and like bus fare
with you?” Amethyst asked them both.
    “Yeah why?” They asked in unison.
    “Don’t worry about it, just bring it with you
or your going to end up freezing and stranded which I’m sure that
neither of you want lets go,” she said happily as she grabbed he
stuff and dropped food into the rabbit’s cage.
    “Are you sure she always this hyper?” Alias
asked in disbelief. Sunny laughed,
    “Always, watch when she has Monster”.
Amethyst looked back at them as she picked up her phone and keys by
the front door,
    “C’mon, let’s go!!!” She said excitedly.
Alias wasn’t sure what to think but he knew that he shouldn’t have
been staring at her like that, staring usually ended with
conversation and if he was right, that would be an uncomfortable
conversation to have. He knew for sure though that anyway he tried
to think about it, knowing Amethyst that wherever they were going
was bound to be interesting.
    “Moonlight, where are we going?” Sunny asked
while we all followed Amethyst to…wherever she was taking us.
    “The seven train,” she answered calmly.
    “But you don’t take trains! And you can’t see
where were going! And you can’t remember any directions! Where are
we going!?” Sunny was freaking out. Amethyst glanced at me and we
both laughed.
    “The seven train, don’t worry, I brought my
phone,” She answered nonchalantly.
    “Alias, you trust ne, right?” She asked
laughing.
    “More than you can imagine,” He answered
unthinking.
    “Yeah, hugs for you!” She
