Chapter 6: Friends

A lot has happened since Alluvetarre, but it's all passed in a blur... all but a few moments. Most of it has been the same thing, over and over, a cycle. We'd learn something, then make a plan, then fight with all we've got, and in the midst of things... we'd realize that they had outsmarted us.

Over, and over, and over...

And most of the time, I was left in the shadows, along with a few other people who I've grown quite close with. If anythinng, the time that Sophie spent ignoring me because she had bigger problems was time that I spent forging relationships that I cherish. What I thuoght was a curse had turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Being invisible wasn't so bad after all.

First there was Dex, and granted, it took him a while to swallow his pride and warm up to me. I remember the first time he laughed at something I said, forgetting the awkward once and for all.

We grew close fast, probably due to the fact that he and I were in the same boat. Forgotten. Left behind, by our "Best friends". Plus, I felt bad for him, knowing that he had it BAD for Sophie, and that Sophie... was as blind as a bat to all feelings.

Another way we were similar... the only differance was that I'd come to terms with it, and found where I belong.

Tam and I got to know one another, too. Working on the Lodestar mirror was probably what did it. During that time, I figured him out. And this will embarrass him... A LOT. But he's not as salty as he comes off as. He's actually kind of... shy. I know, I giggled too. But as soon as I figured it out, he started opening up to me.

I made other friends, too. Some took longer to open up, ans with others, we were tight emmediatly. The point is, there are always others who feel rejected, misunderstood, forgotten.

And that's where you'll find your true friends.
