The 다음 일 - Eric's perspective
It was a new day. A 일 not to embarrassed. A 일 to make something new. A 일 to get my device back. Athena walked up to me in the cafeteria and put Delor on the 표, 테이블 "Here. 당신 dropped this when 당신 ran out," she said
My face turned scarlet " T-Thanks Did 당신 turn it on?" I asked. I knew if she turned him on I would be screwed
She nodded "Yeah but it wouldn't tell us anything. It called Tom a dumbass,"
My burned because I hid in my laughter. That was funny. "Okay then bye," I snorted out
She looked at me weird "Bye. Also Eric?" she asked
"Yes?" I asked
"If 당신 ever look through my stuff again. I will punish you," she said leaving me behind
I burst out laughing. Delor knew Tom was a dumbass even now! That was funny. I eventually stopped laughing because something crossed my mind. What did Athena mean 의해 that? Was it the same kind of punishment she gave me in the future: Embarrassment?
I held out Delor "Good job," I said to him
He beeped "Oh hello Master Eric. I'm glad to see you," he said
I laughed "You know 당신 don't have any eyes right?"
He beeped "You know what I mean. I'm just glad I don't have to talk to your dumbass uncle," he said
I laughed "Yeah. Do me a favor and make a scan on the whole cafeteria to see if there is any people that could get Athena sick," I said
A faint red light shot out of Delor and scanned the cafeteria. The red light lingered over Brandon "Well that boy has a disease inside of him and doesn't know it yet," he said
I smiled " Well I'm glad he is not near her 또는 is he???!!!" I asked as I watched Brandon walk up to Athena. He started talking to her and she turned scarlet
I gasped in horror " Delor tell me what they are saying!" I commanded
"Here," he said and I heard everything
"Athena right?" Brandon asked
Athena turned red "Yeah?"
"You look beautiful," he said
She smiled "Thank 당신 but 당신 never noticed me before," she said
He seemed offended and put his hand over his chest "i did too! I just was to shy to admit. I liked 당신 everyday I've seen you. Do 당신 want to go out tonight?" he asked
"Yeah sure!" she exclaimed
He smiled "Great. I'll pick 당신 up at sixish. Here's my number," he said handing her a piece of paper. He walked away
I put my head down and whispered to Delor "Turn off now," I said.
"Are 당신 going to talk to her Eric?" he asked
I nodded "Yeah. Were friends. She'll understand my feelings. Now turn off," I commanded
He beeped and turned off. I gathered all my stuff and headed over to Athena. It was a good thing she was alone. "Uh hi Athena," I said nervously
She looked up and smiled at me "Oh hello Eric. Do 당신 want 당신 want something?" she asked
I sat down "Yeah I want to know what the hell 당신 are doing,"
She frowned "What do 당신 mean? I'm just sitting here talking to you,"
I rubbed my face "No I mean why are 당신 going out with Brandon?" I demanded
Her face fell and she glared at me "How do 당신 know that? Have 당신 been-"
I cut her off "Just answer the 질문 Athena," I commanded
She pouted "Well I liked him for a long time and was hoping for a long time for this to happen. Why do 당신 not get that? Why are 당신 not being supportive of me?" she asked
I sighed "Well I don't think he is a good influence on 당신 and 당신 might stoop to his level. What do 당신 think happened to his past girlfriend?" I asked
She suddenly flew out of her seat. Her face flushed, fists clenched "Who do 당신 think 당신 are? My father?" she demanded She then stormed away glancing back yelling "He probably broke up with Kate because he realized he loved me!!"
I saw her storm out of the cafeteria and meet up with her friends. They first jumped up and down with exitment and then I saw them glaring at me and her 프렌즈 hugging her. They eventually left my eyesight
I slammed my head against the 표, 테이블 and turned on Delor "Sir I don't think that was the best approach," he said
I sighed "Thanks Delor 당신 can put that on the obvious list now," I moaned
Tom sat down 다음 to me "Dude I told 당신 many times before. Don't talk to yourself. People start to stare and you'll ruin your reputation," he said
I brought my head up "What reputation?" I asked
He smiled "Of being 프렌즈 with the hottest bad boy in the whole school. Don't mess it up," he said
I rubbed my eyes "Whatever man and I wasn't talking to myself 당신 must be seeing 또는 hearing things," I said
He got defensive "Dude I am not. Admit it 또는 I'll beat the shit out of you," he said
I smirked. He did this nearly every week. I never did beat the shit of me "Go ahead. 당신 never do it anyway. Besides Athena cares about me and she will kick your 나귀, 엉덩이 if 당신 kick mine," I said
He smirked now "Yeah but she isn't here is she? Besides she is mad at you," he said putting his face close to mine
My face fell. Crap I hadn't thought of that. He could of done that time.
A distraction came down and sat 다음 to Tom. "Hey Tom. Why doesn't your sister like me?" he asked
Tom sighed "Jason. Get lost. Can't 당신 당신 see I'm in the middle of something?" he asked
Jason narrowed his eyebrows as he looked at us. "What? Getting it on with your boyfriend?" he asked smiling
Both of our cheeks burned but Tom was flushed "No! What do 당신 want?" he demanded
Jason smirked "Well now I want to know if 당신 guys are going to do it now," he said
Tom's fists clenched and was about to strike Jason when I got to him first. I grabbed Jason's shit 칼라 and yanked him close to me "Listen Asshole we are both not feeling are best to deal with this shit right so tell us what the hell 당신 want!" I hollered
His face fell. It looked like he died inside "I-I-I j-just wanted...to..know..why...Athena...doesn't like me," he said hestiatately
I tightened my grip on him "I don't know maybe it's because she doesn't like 당신 right now because 당신 are annoying as hell and Oh crap," I stopped talking. I realized what I was doing. I couldn't do that to my future father
Jason got out of my grip "What? Did 당신 realize that 당신 liked 당신 too? Do I have to compete for her love?" I asked
I sat down "No no. I like family. I must apoligize to her," I said getting up
"Why should you? 당신 told her the truth," he said
I didn't realize until later that Tom always knew when I had a fight with Athena "Yeah but the only way she can trust me again is if I say sorry and I was wrong. I'm going," I said
I left the 표, 테이블 and went to go look for her. I swear I heard them talking about me "Your friend is weird," "Tell me about it"

I'd pretended not to know anything. I tried to get over her, but I couldn't. It was too painful. It was too difficult.
I still blamed myself. I always would.
I did like she asked, I finished college. I moved to New York after graduation to begin my career as a child psychologist. I'd graduated early. Worked harder than was necessary. Ignored everything not school-related. Had a successful job interview. Accepted into a private practice.
I was miserable.
I still had to keep living; I knew I had to. I was twenty three when I moved there.
Twenty three when I decided to watch small children play in a park in the hope of learning something new.
She never failed to surprise me. Not ever.

"She wore very little make up and looked exhausted, as if she’d just woken up and remembered she had to go work."

I watched two little girls playing, watching one in particular. She reminded me painfully of Serena. The little girl pulled her friend to her feet and ran towards a woman that I recognized.
It was her. At first I was sure I was halluncinating.
Her dark hair was a little longer than I had seen it last. She was wearing a black pencil 치마 and a deep blue blouse. She looked happy as the girl ran up to her.
She hugged the little girl. Their hair was the same colour.
I watched numbly as Serena looked at the child with unfathomable 사랑 as she told her something.
Serena looked up at me, pain and shock evident on her face.

She crawls into a memory.
She sits, she cries, knees folded up to her chest.
Life is not like it used to be.
Why can't she enjoy life like she did before?
Because she had no life then, no identity.
She was what others told her to be.
She has learned.
She is gaining an identity.
She doesn't know who she is.
She only recently discovered that she didn't know,
That she had no life, no identity.
It's looking for her,
Coming slowly, across the sea.
She fears it will not find her.
It will wander in the darkness,
Searching, but never finding,
Never knowing how close it has come.
And she will never know it, even though she sees it, touches it, tastes it,
She will never be able to embrace it.
She keeps searching for she,
For her place to be,
To belong in this world, and to stand out.
I keep searching for me,
For my destiny,
For my identity.
