I had noticed their awkward silences, but I never brought it up with her. I just thought that maybe I had picked up the wrong signal from them which was usually the case.

"I feel like I have to put so much effort in to talk to him. It does not flow naturally." She revealed before uttering "Not like you and Stone."

I choked on the air "What?"

She laughed at my expression before pointing out "You two never run out of things to talk about. He looks like he hangs on to every single word you speak and that he would die to hear a word from your lips."

No reply left my mouth because it was hung open in shock at her statement.

"You two always seem to be talking." She stated.

"That is because we are always arguing."

"You don't argue." She corrected "You bicker."

"There is not a difference."

"Drizella Anastasia Miller, queen of all things nerdy and the English language." Lana scolded while tutting "You know there is a massive difference"

I shushed her "Never use my full in name in public. It is bad enough that I know my name and am constantly tortured by it."

We laugh before the amusement died out and we get back to the problem at hand. It had become my problem now because any problem that was hers was mine and I would always try and help her.

"I want more affection." She revealed before giving an example "I want a cute nickname. You get a cute nickname."

I rose an eyebrow at her while asking "What cute nickname?"

"Medusa."

"An ugly monster in mythology." I added before asking "How is that cute?"

"It is." She argued.

"You get called Lovely Lana. That is cute." I pointed out before mentioning "Nobody has ever found me lovely."

"Lovely is just bleh." The blonde said before she thought of something else and spoke again "I don't know if Brennan and I have chemistry."

"Sure, you do." I quickly replied but then I wondered if what I said was the truth.

Lana was shy to people she did not know but when she was comfortable was when she showed her personality. She was funny and sassy when she felt at ease.

I wondered if she would ever show the true side of herself with Brennan or not.

"We don't hold a candle to you and Stone." Lana quietly murmured.

I blinked a few times in shock at her statement.

"Stone and me? Chemistry?" I scoffed in hope she would believe me, and I would believe myself "Nope. No. Na-da. There is nothing between us."

I wanted to tell her about the kiss. I needed someone to talk to about it but it was not the time. Not when she was dealing with her own problems.

Lana shook her laughing before she started tapping a beat on her knee "I know I sound ungrateful, but I just want more."
