Just Admit It.

Daulla, Lier and I are walking in the hallway.

"..."

They are walking a little behind me, so I can't see their faces.

What is this awkward atmosphere?

It's been like ten minutes and none of them and said a single word.

I glanced at Lier. She shrugged her shoulders.

Then I glanced to the right, where Daulla was. And she shrugged her shoulders too. 

"Come on, say something" I broke the silence.

"What do you want us to say?" Daulla asked.

"Anything. Walking in the hall like this is creepy" 

"Then how about you say something?"

I turned back and started walking backwards.

"Okay" I cleared my throat and said, "I am very excited about tomorrow, do you know why?"

"Because it's your coronation?" Daulla replied.

"No, no. Why would I be happy about that?"

"Because it's your birthday tomorrow?" asked Lier.

"That is true, but I am not excited about that"
