Cleo's POV
When they were little kids, in kindergarten, I used to have a crush on Zane…
I never told anyone about that though – not even Lewis. It was rather stupid of me, I knew now, but at the time he was the most popular boy in class and everyone liked him. He was nice then… made friends with everybody. He seemed really brave and smart. It was very easy to have a crush on him. I wanted to be just like him… to be liked by everyone, but I was too shy and quiet.
I haven’t liked him since primary school back in second grade when he started to become meaner. It’s been so long since I’ve seen the nice side of him, I easily forget about the boy he once was along time ago. But when Zane’s around Rikki… I see that boy and I’m really happy to see that he’s back. I don’t have a crush on him or anything anymore, but I do like the new attitude he has for everyone around him.
I’m really thankful he and Rikki are together, despite what I really said out loud, but I’d rather not have anyone laugh at me for a kiddie crush on him or have Rikki look at me suspiciously knowing that I used to like Zane.
THE END.
