Shining Star, Not Monica

Day Thirty-Two…

~~*****~~

When Aiden went to Phantonflake's room, Abigail and Nathan were left alone in the living room. The place was very silent since Nathan and Abigail were not talking.

They just sat on the couch, one space apart, as they waited for others to join them. Both Aiden and Stephen accompanied Cherry.

Unable to bear the quiet atmosphere surrounding them, Abigail spoke up to break the silence.

"Cherry agreed to work under you. Please be good to her. Don't give her a hard time while working with you." Abigail pleaded on Cherry's behalf.

Nathan turned to look at her, not saying a word. His intense gaze was directed at her, making Abigail a little bit uncomfortable.

'Why is looking at me as if he wants to eat me? Is he mad again?' Abigail recalled that Nathan was in a bad mood a while ago.

"Are you mad?" Abigail failed to hold her curiosity so she asked him directly.

"No," Nathan promptly responded, looking away.
