Connie stood on the rise with Gideon, slowly taking in the scene laid out around her. "Wow... this is just... gorgeous. I don't think I can remember ever seeing anything this beautiful before. Even before, you know, it happened." As she looked out across the landscape, her conscious nagged at her repeatedly. Tell him how you feel about him. Come on, tell him. I'm not kidding around, tell him! For the love of all things good on this whole freaking island just tell him!!! She finally got up the courage to do it, if only to get the voice in her head to shut the h*** up. With a sigh, she looked over at the boy standing next to her, who now looked even more handsome to her with the incredible view around them. and said "Gideon? I'm not really sure how to say this, but..." Her voice trailed off for a second before she resumed speaking. " I think... I think I might have feelings for you. Even before you helped save my life in the stairwell last night, I've always felt wierd around you, almost like Dirk feels around any girl except me and my mom." Are you serious?!? Did you really just throw that in there? Try to think a little more before you say something else, you're making you and your brother look stupid!, her conscious yelled at her. She tried to brush the voice aside as the sun slowly crept farther up in the sky.
Why was I not informed of this?!? Ragey voice, ragey voice!)
