"Yes. I can't believe it has been a month. The trip was amazing!", I spoke as I smiled at him. <<time skip>> “I was thinking Aura.”, Dexter began as I made cereal. “What is my genius thinking now?”, I asked him with a smile. “I was thinking to try out for the football team”, he said. “And why do you want to? I thought you were more of a singer”, I said as I handed him the spoon. “They always get the best girls”, he said. I frowned. “What makes you think that?”, I asked him. Dex never thought like this. “I have seen it. Observed it.”, he said. I frowned. “Well, if it’s okay with you then it’s okay with me. Here, serve yourself some cereal. I’ll go.”, I said as I took out the bowl for him and then made my way to my room. I called up Lucinda. “Hey Luce, what’s up?”, I asked her as she picked it up. “Nothing much. I am trying to console Ryder. He’s so upset that he didn’t get into the quidditch team. He thinks that is the only way to be thought of as cool. Not all girls like cool people, that’s something he ought to understand.”, she said. “True but boys will be boys. Even Dex said that he wants to play football to be cool. He used to loathe football, you know”, I replied as I thought how stubborn people could be. “That they will be and we can’t do anything. Do you want me to come over?”, she asked. “Well. You could, really, but don’t come if it’s too much trouble for you”, I replied as I thought about Louis. “Oh ok. Louis is alright, they said he just had a bad case of fever. Though I feel that it is Dexter you should be worrying about. Poor, sweet boy. Player girls would easily take advantage of him and he wouldn’t even know. That’s what happened with Louis once and he even stopped talking to me for that exact reason”, she replied. The thought was terrifying. //What if Dexter didn’t talk to you after he got a girlfriend? Stop it, you are being selfish.// “Dexter would never do something like that”, I replied, though I could feel the doubt in my voice. “Well, I got to go. Ryder’s got in a fight again”, Lucinda said and hung up. I sighed. Life was so lonely, when you didn’t have any purpose. When you just…existed.
