Me and Spencer shared smiles and I walked away. I stuck my fingers through my hair as I tried to figure out what to do.

"Oh my God...my heart's racing. Why am I such a coward..." I thought to myself.

I walked into Spencer's room and closed the door. I grabbed one of his pillows and screamed into it.

I put down the pillow and layed on his bed.

"Why didn't I tell him how I felt? Why can't I tell him..." I said to myself.

It felt like tears started to develop at the base of my eyes. Why can't I ever amount to anyone...

"Odysseus, what's wrong."

I jerked up thinking Spencer was in the room, however I just saw my sister Maricana standing before me.

"N-Nothing. Just leave me alone..." I said as I whiped my tears onto my sleeve.

"Odysseus please, I'm your sister so we have to tell each other things."

Maricana sat down next to me and set her hand on my shoulder.

"I...I tried to tell him how I felt...but I couldn't get the words out..."

"Odysseus that's alright. There's always a perfect moment to tell someone how you feel."

"Why am I such a coward...I can't even tell a boy that I like him..."

"Odysseus you are the furthest from a coward. You are one of the bravest girls I have ever seen. You stand up for what you believe in, and hell, you've been saving the universe for centuries now."

"Yeah...I guess so...but..."

"But what? Not to mention I'm sure he already loves you too."

"Why would you think that?"

"Well I mean...remember what he said when you two had that little ice cream date."

"Huh?"

My eyes began to glow a little as I recalled the events that happened earlier. The scene replayed in my head.

"Just remember that there's always someone out there who still loves you...and he might be closer to you than you think."

Spencer's words rung through my head and my face began to burn a little.

"See? I told you. He's into you Odysseus, and it's no question why."

"He...he likes me..."

Maricana smiled at me when she realized how bad I was blushing. I touched my face with hands while excitement burned inside of me.

"Oh yeah...one more thing Odysseus." Maricana said.

"Yeah?"

"Why did you tell Spencer that we were playing checkers?"

"Well we were."

"You know what that means right?"

"Yeah? It's when two humans touch each others hands...."

"Odysseus...no..."

"Then w-what does it mean?"

"Well..."

Maricana leaned her head towards me and whispered what 'checkers' meant into my ear.

"OH MY GOD!" I yelled a little loud.

"Dad doesn't like when you say his name like that."

"S-Sorry. But that's what that means?!" I asked.

"Yeah, and when you play checkers by yourself, it means that you..."

Maricana waved her middle finger and ring finger, signifying me the horrors of playing checkers with yourself.

"So I told him that...I...oh...oh no..."

Maricana was trying her best to hold in her laughter but ended up bursting out laughing.

"S-Stop it! This is embarrassing for me!" I said.

"So much for angels being pure!" She chanted as she started to cry of laughter.

I just sat there giving my sister the death stare as she rolled on the ground laughing. She eventually caught her breathe and sat back down next to me.

"Ah...hoo...okay. Anyway, it's not that bad. I'm pretty sure he thought you were joking so it isn't that baaaaad."

Maricana began to Snicker a little more.

"Yeah I hope so...that's not really something you tell a guy." I said.

"Well that Yuri girl told him that, but I don't think you want to be like Yuri..." Maricana said.

"Well that's because she was "third eye infected' at the time. However I do see her views on doing it with a pen..." I said as I glanced at a pen on Spencer's desk.

"Odysseus don't you dare!"

"I-I wasn't! I swear!"

"Yeah whatever. Don't you dare touch that pen."

Dammit.

"Anyway, I'm gonna go back to work. I'll check on ya tomorrow. Sweet dreams lil sis." Maricana said.

"Yeah, goodnight."

Maricana began to disappear, but grabbed Spencer's pen before she left.

"I wasn't really gonna...ah forget it." I said out loud. I got under the covers and looked at Spencer's nightstand.

There were hollow point bullets scattered over it and some pictures of old friends. One was of Cosgrove, Drew, Felipe, Khalil, and Spencer all standing next to each other smiling at the camera.

That photo was taken right after operation Firefly, when Noah and Jacob helped them save...the girls.

One was of Noah, Jacob, and Spencer all sharing a drink at Noah's house party.

"Spencer sure has a lot of friends..." I said.

There was a random framed photo of Spencer on his table. I think it was his NWG photo because it had the logo and respective death card.

I picked up the picture frame and pressed the photo against my chest as I soon dozed off.

"He likes me, right?"
