SEARCHING FOR A ROOMIE!!

Ashley and Caroline are both here, helping me move things from here to there. I just came back from the party after my fashion show. It was great. But... I feel pretty uncomfortable.

"Hey..."

Both girls turn to look at me. They both have very commanding expressions. Ashley's eyes, fierce green, stare at me as though she responds to no one. Carol's light blue eyes let everyone know that she considers she rules the world and no one else. How did I ever befriend such people? ^^;

"What?" Ashley snarls. She doesn't like the idea of helping me pick up the apartment, but she's passing through, staying over the night.

Carol looks at her and crosses her arms. "Tone it down over there, monkey. Just because your loverboy isn't here, we've had enough of your sulking."

Ashley frowns and fixes the books in the shelves. "FYI, I'm meeting up with Rink tomorrow. I wonder if Leo's giving it to you, though.... you've been in a horrible mood, cousin." she smirks.

As they both start bickering over something so completely pointless, I stare. They're not listening to me. Of course they're not.

"Hey........" I try again, but I'm invisible now as they're revealing intimate details of their love life I have no interest whatsoever in knowing about.

I'm still being ignored.

"I SAID HEY!" I scream.

They both stare at me, as though I've lost it. I don't like forcing my voice.

"I'm sorry, Lucia, you were saying?" Caroline looks at me, quirking an eyebrow.

I stare at them both. "If you tell a guy you really really like him and he answers back 'that's always lovely to hear'" should I feel bad about that?"

Ashley scoffed. "HAHAHA! What kind of answer is that? I'd say that's pretty weak XD"

Caroline hit Ash with her elbow and looked at me. "I'm taking that happened between you and Christian?"

"Yes, but... at least he didn't seem to be uncomfortable about me saying it? I really didn't want to say anything, but it kinda just slipped... the adrenaline of the moment and all."

Ash frowned. "You shouldn't be with a guy who can't even tell you if he likes you or not. It seems to me as though you're hanging on a thread and you don't know when you're going to fall."

"Shut up, Ash." Carol glared at her. "I definitely think that what you're doing is fine. Christian is just like that, I mean, he seems to be that way. As a lawyer, it is my duty to read people's personalities, and it seems to me that he likes you. If not why would he be with you? Look at Eric and Rory, they're 'soulmates', but they each love someone and even with the matchmaking stuff, they can't refrain from being with those they really like!"

"I wasn't going to think much about it... but I just wanted to consult it with... someone.... I mean, if Leonardo or Rink answered you like that what would you two do...?"

"I'd KILL him." Ash murmured.

"But you're not with either Leonardo or Rink." Carol placed a hand on my shoulder and smiled. "I think you handle things pretty well. Hang in there."

"Truth is...." Ashley looked at me. "If you think it's alright, if that's what you want, then you have nothing to fret about. Every person has a different reaction."

"So it's good that I don't worry?"

"It's good." Caroline smirked

"It's okay."Ash nodded.
