“Oh Starlight’s, Mako!” Eli exclaimed before running and diving into the pool to retrieve the device.

The boys sighed, shaking their heads, their lips curved upward.

“What? You said it was water proof?”

I blinked in confusion.

What’s the point of it being water proof if you couldn’t throw it in the water?

Eli emerged to the surface, swimming to the pool’s edge and lifting herself out with ease; the water glided off her body.

Damn...she looks good soaked, too.

“I agree.”

“I wonder if this is how those commercial’s in Earthala look,”I replied.

“Maybe. Eli’s pretty hot.”

It took me a moment to register the monotone voice.

“Oh shit, Midnight?”

“Hmm. What?”

“You’re doing that talking thing again,”I reminded, trying to stay calm.

“Makoto? What’s wrong?” Eli asked as she approached; the wind blew against her, drying her in seconds.

I gulped, feeling tingles go down my spine.

“Can you like, I don’t know, lower that attraction of yours. It’s distracting.”

“You’re distracted by Eli. Not me. And last time I remembered we’re the same person,”she retorted.

“Ya.”I answered before her presence was gone again. I decided to share before I forgot, like the previous two times.

“Midnight again. I said I wondered if Eli walking out of the pool was like those commercials in Earthala and Midnight called Eli pretty hot, and I told her to not be so damn attracted to Eli before she pointed out were the same and uh shit.” I swore, my face burning red as I realized what I’d just done.

Overshare much?

I covered my face before groaning.

Why me!

“Ignore what I just said!” I explained, turning around to escape, but an arm wrapped around me.

I opened my eyes; Daniel’s eyes sparkled in the sun’s light.

“That’s not embarrassing Makoto,” he reassured me. Kai walked up to us, placing his hand on my shoulder.

“Elias and EliaseAnne, are the same person. It’s normal for you to have feelings for both, even if Eli’s a girl. Don’t stress about it,” he explained, his voice emphasized on Eli’s name as if it was a rare title to use.

I let my hands drop looking at the others – all of them looked calm as if my admission was a normal, everyday conversation.

“Okay,” I admitted. A nervous giggle escaped me as the glittering of my new phone caught my attention. I walked forward, taking it out of Eli’s hand.My precious.

“Precious my ass. You threw it in the fucking pool,” Eli pointed out, but smiled at my eagerness. She helped me set it up, explained the details before entering their contacts.
