Strangers

For the next weeks it felt like we were just strangers. Two teens wishing to be in their companions arms, but the world kept us apart. Every second I spent away from Cleo felt more depressing than the last. Seeing her almost everyday, but not even getting the chance to talk to her was slowly killing me. I felt like I was growing a distance away from her, yet we were under the same roof.

Some days we made eye contact, hoping for the other one to make a move. But alas the fear of the spy in the room exposing us was what stopped us. "Who could this person be", I asked myself. I felt it had to be Daphne, she was the type to feast on Cleo and I's misery. But I didn't have the evidence to prove this.
