1996

THE following day, Spencer couldn't think right in the lecture hall. For no reason at all Liz kept popping in his mind.

What has Liz gotta do with my faculty? He fought desperately to remove her thoughts from his head until he succumbed in it.

"Spencer!" The lecturer thundered his name the fourth time waking Spencer from his delirium. "are you with us?"

"Yes, Mr Clark. I'm sorry" Spencer lied.

Mr Clark approached his seat "are you okay Son?" He asked calmly this time.

"I'm not feeling too well"he lied again.

"then go ahead and rest. You can join us later" Mr Clark said.

Spencer really needed that now as he ditched for the restroom. Maybe Liz keeps on flooding in my mind 'cos I'm hungry, he thought and decided to go to the cafeteria to eat. But sitting down with his food, he couldn't sway his mind from her light giggles, her smiles and those eyes. There was the place of need. How would she feel on bed? And then he reminded himself, she's a Rhyndorust. You're no match for her Spencer, stop thinking about her, you can never be a match to her thoughts. He reminded himself painfully and with a sigh, shoved a chips into his mouth, frustrated.

At night, Liz couldn't sleep. She kept seeing herself making love to Spencer in her dream. She was wide awake when her sister woke and saw her.

"Having trouble sleeping?" Meghan asked and Liz nodded. "You... You see a boy in your dream?"

Am I that obvious?, Liz thought surprisingly.

"Is it -"

"it's Spencer" she saved Meghan the stress. "He can't get away from my mind"she pressed her head on her hands confused.

"Then go ahead and admit your feelings" Meghan smiled and watched Liz closely. "You know it's not bad to tell someone you love them" Liz could see Meghan's smile from the opposite side of the room on her bed, through the moonlight. Meghan walked over to Liz and hugged her tightly before going to her bed.

It was true. Meghan was absolutely right. But, was she truly in love with Spencer? Of course Spencer wasn't feeling the same way about her. Oh Liz, she thought to herself, he's probably sleeping, he's not worried about you as you are about him, she closed her eyes and laid back down, frustrated.
