Isaac closed his eyes and tried to sleep. It was no use, nothing was helping. He gave finally and got out the notebook he was writing his sci-fi novel on. He developed an idea from his head and started writing, ideas coming so fast. But he only got half of his ideas in his notebook before Taylor came barging in.
“Hey, I know....I know!!”
“What, wait a second...i’m writing and.....”
“If you want to know why the heck that i’ve been so ‘tired’ then shut up and listen” Ike put down his pen and sighed. “Fine, you have my attention”
“I am in love with Starla!”
“Slow down pal, explain that a little more”
“For so long, I didn’t even realize, I ENJOYED the fighting, I liked to bicker and communicate with her like that, it was so classic that I didn’t even realize this enemy-love thing”
he continued on...”I...just gathered all this, and you know why I was staring into the TV screen so intently? I was actually checking her out from the corner of my eye, and the party? I danced with Natalie to see what Bryce and Starla were doing, like making sure Bryce didn’t do anything......I’m in love with her”
With that, he stopped talking to see what Ike’s reaction would be. To his surprise, he laughed uncontrollably
“Ike, what is so funny?!”
"The vision of you and Star a couple!" Isaac gasped between fits of laughter
"Great, thanks for the insight Ike..Now i'll just figure this out myself!" Tay was about to leave when Ike stood in front of him, "Look, i'm sorry Tay..I just had to let that out, sit down"
Tay went over to his bunk and sat down, "What do I do now?"
Hmm, that's a toughie....How about TELLING her?"
Shup up Ike, I mean how, she is a bit different from other girls...i'm afraid she'll bite my head off"
Well try to neutralize your friendship, and then tell her, I guess" Isaac shrugged.
"But..." Tay began, but Ike interrupted, "Look, i'm tired and those are all your options at this moment, so choose"
Isaac climbed the stairs up to his bunk and laid down, leaving the confused Taylor there, deciding his fate.
