66-They Fight Over Me
“Enya!”
“Enya! Are you okay?” a fainted voice shook me awake. I opened my eyes with difficulty and found my body in my bed.
“What happened?” Lazlo’s voice was a hint that I wasn’t alone. They were all gathered around me and staring at me.
I then realized what had probably happened. I passed out once I used too much of my powers. I shook my head and tried waking up entirely to hear what the others were saying to Thiago.
“It is always you who gets her in trouble,” Maynard grunted, standing with his bed and accusing Thiago.
“I know right! It is like whenever he gets closer to her, she gets in trouble,” Lazlo said, joining Maynard. By this time, already knew Lazlo and Maynard were one team. They didn’t like Thiago or probably didn’t get along with him. It was Thiago’s choice as well because he refused to hang out with them.
I have seen him sit alone and do massive research and spend time on his computer or phone, God knows doing what, then to spend time with them.
“Enough!” | groaned, sitting up in the bed. They watched my face and then shared a glance, probably because they knew I was going to take Thiago’s side.
“He didn’t do anything and please can you two remind me when was the last time he got me in trouble?” | stared at them, reminding them with my eyes what they did was still fresh in my memory.
“And before you two argue, next time when you lie about me, make sure you don’t act all saint afterward,” I finished talking but they knew I was not listening to them anymore.
“We didn’t lie because of a malicious intent,” Maynard stepped ahead to argue more.
“Can we let her rest?” Thiago finally spoke up after he had enough of our arguments.
“Malicious or not, you fooled me,” I wasn’t quitting either. I got off the bed to stand face to face with Maynard, who was not backing down either.
“And that was fair of you when you decided to pick him and reject the two of us?” as Maynard recalled the conversation he had heard back when Thiago and I were in the woods, Lazlo heaved a gasp from his gaping mouth.
“She was going to reject us?” Lazlo pushed Maynard back so that he can be the one I face now. His eyes were glaring into mine angrily as if I have received them.
“And he asked her to do it,” to add fuel to the fire, Maynard pointed at Thiago.
“That will be enough,” Thiago came forward to grab my hand and pull me back from the two. Now it was them staring into each other’s eyes.
I was tired of this back and forth, they need to get one thing clear. I was not a reward and neither a competition
“You two have been trying your best to cause a rift between us. It is not like you two didn’t try for her to pick you, so don’t point at me.” Thiago was talking to them but they were only scoffing at his every word.
