Kaiden

I don’t understand why Axel’s so obsessed with Odile. I mean, she’s alright for a girl, but he’s seriously obsessed with her. He involves her in everything, is always talking about her, planning things we can all do together, insisting we call for her after school and ask if she wants to come out to play.

She’s okay, but I understand why Zie is annoyed. I don’t want to spend all my time with a girl.

The dresses were a step too far, but Axel insisted. He always gets his own way. One day I’m going to be bigger than him and he’ll have to listen when I say no. Sucks to be Zie, though. The baby of the group is never gonna grow enough to put Axel in his place.

As awful as the dresses were, when Odile saw us and smiled, I didn’t mind one bit. No one would dare laugh at us anyway, but I still felt stupid. Until she beamed at me like I made all her dreams come true.

It made my stomach do a weird flip flop thing like the time we snuck onto the roller coaster at the theme park that we were too short for, only without me feeling like I wanted to throw up afterwards.

Odile has a really nice smile actually.

You know, for a girl.
