Allura walked into my room and was followed by Keith and Lance.   

“Hello Lance, Keith, Allura, welcome.” I mumbled and looked between the three. Allura smiled and sat on top of Shiro as the other two sat on my bed.

“Everyone left to their rooms, so we came in here.” Lance remarked. He looked around the room squinting his eyes. “Uh, why are the lights off?” He questioned. I looked around and noticed that the lights were indeed off. Standing I walk towards my light switch. Flipping the switch the lights flashed on.

“I forgot they existed.” I replied moving back to my chair. The walls glowed white in the lighted room, the floors were a boring dark brown wood color. My bed had black sheets and a dark green comforter. Taking another bite of my food I look at the three guest. Allura chatted politely with Shiro. Keith pulled out his phone and started entertaining himself. Lance kept looking over his shoulder.

“Hey Pidge did you finish yet? I was going to start dishes.” Hunk asked at my door. I handed him my half empty plate. He gave me a disappointed look.

“The food is amazing, thank you, but I was snacking all day. Sorry I couldn't finish it.” I mumbled trying to reassure him. He nodded. “Those two like each other right?” I whispered glancing back at the group. My stomach turned as Allura played with Shiro's hair, and held his full attention. Keith and Lance were still looking at the bright screen. Hunk gave me a small nod when I looked back at him before leaving.

“Lance!” Keith yelled before hitting his arm. Lance gasped and turned away from Keith.

“You see Keith, this is why everyone hates you! You're a mean bully!” Lance yelled.  Everyone in the room froze.  Hunk had left by this point, and I was almost to my chair. Keith narrowed his eyes.

“At least I am not some stupid boy!” Keith yelled and stood storming out of the rom. Shiro asked Allura to move and ran after his friend. Lance’s head fell into his hands. I slowly closed y door and turned towards Lance.

“You’re not stupid Lance.” Allura Mumbled resting her hand on his upper back. I sighed knowing that wouldn't help him.

“Keith doesn't hate you. I don't think he can hate you.” I called to him, his eyes moved to look at me as he lifted his head. “You did hurt him though, and he hurt you. You should talk to him. Apologise.” I finished. He looked at his hands that now rested on his knees. His voice was hoarse when he spoke.

“I can’t he hates me. I’m stupid! I will never be good enough for him.” He whispered Allura looked up towards me. I walked towards Lance.

“If you two talk, and truly talk, like we are now. Maybe you can resolve these issues. But you won't get anywhere if you don’t talk.” He gave me a weak smile before standing. He silently left my room. I let my head fall onto the edge of my bed forgetting Allura was still here.

“Katie, I know you don't seem to be the girly girl, or the gossiping type. But you are one of the few girls on this level, and you will learn that this group functions more like a family than a team. I would like it if you join Shay and I in our girl nights. Please.” Allura whispered inching closer to me. I slowly lifted my head and gave a small nod. She smiled and pulled me away from my room.

I found Keith standing on the roof, his eyes glazing over the sunset. I slowly approached him, and calmly stood beside him. He looked at me, before returning to the sunset. I gave a soft sigh before speaking.

“Keith, I know-”

“You know what?! How can you know anything? You have a controlled temper, and you date the people you love within a couple days of knowing you love them! How can you understand anything I am going through?” Keith barked interrupting me. I slowly closed my mouth and thought for a moment.

“Keith, I believe I can help. If you let me that is. I believe you yelled at Lance because he hurt you, and you couldn't take it. I know you love him, I hope that the two of you would talk-”

“No, not happening! He started it!” Keith growled turning to face me. I sighed and skimmed the area searching for something that would get through to him.

“Tell you what, if you talk to Lance and resolve his incident, I will do something you want me to do.” I remarked. His eyes met mine, as I watched him think.

“Tell you what SHiro, I’ll give this talking to Lance thing a try. If you talk to Allura about your wavering feelings.” Keith remarked and slowly started to make his way towards the door leading back to the others. I let my shaky sigh leave my lips as I followed. Once I reached Keith I mumbled towards him.

“Okay.” I whispered as I walked towards Allura’s room. I gave a soft knocking before a loud “come in” rang. Opening the door I found Allura not alone. Hunk had Shay in the living room, the two of them were doing homework.

Katie sat in the room, she had small hint of nude colour make-up on her face, and green nail polish being applied to her fingernails. She wore her oversized white T-shirt and black and white checkered pajama pants. Allura had dresses laying on her bed. Allura looked up at me with her big blue eyes expentendly. I motioned for her to follow while mouthing please. My palms were sweating as I waited in the hallway. My heart fell when I saw her worried eyes. I was about to break her heart.

“Allura, you look… quite nice.” I started. She gave me the look of “really?” She had heavy thick blue eyeshadow above her eyes, bright pink blush on her cheeks, and ruby red lips. “You look like a clown, actually… Katie did that?” I asked. She gave a soft giggle.

“Well, she asked if she could do this instead of real make-up work. Because she wanted to play with my fun colours.” Her words came out breath through her giggles. “So, what do you want to talk about?” Her question stabbed my heart like a dagger.

“Well, I love you, and the hardest part of a relationship is… the emotions, yet that is was created a relationship. I love you, and I am starting to like someone else.” I announced my words soft and I slowly brought my eyes towards hers. There were small tears forming.

“I respect that you came and told me about this. Have you been cheating is that what you are trying to say?” She asked. My eyes widen and I vigorously shook my head no. “Good. So you are just developing feeling for someone else as well. Well, maybe we should give ourselves a month. Where we try really hard to make this relationship work, and if it goes well, another. If it doesn't, then we shall break up. Does that sound good to you?” She asked her voice breaking. I nodded giving a soft verbal reply. Turning around I find myself face to face with Keith. His eyes were wide, and he looked slightly angry, and proud?
