Sleepless

"Do not talk nonsense!"

Alice reached out her finger and tapped Ceres's forehead. "I am not. It's just that you do not know he has a crush on you!"

Ceres's heart was instantly in turmoil, "But...but..."

"But you guys have grown up together since you were a kid. You always think of him as your Johny?"

"Yes!"

Ceres replied immediately.

Alice rolled her eyes, "That's just your opinion. He does not see it that way. If you do not feel that way about him, you should find an opportunity to make that clear to him. Stop him."

Ceres was still a little surprised and always felt that Alice was maybe a little over the top.

She and Kirs had grown up together. Back then, she and her father still lived in a village down in the mountains. Kirs was also a child of that village. They often played together, and the relationship between the two families was also good. It was only when Ceres was taken to live with the Morrises at the age of twelve that contact between them broke off.
