Austin watched as Troy flirted with Katherine, jealous. He wished once again that he could be more open with her.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Amelia asked once Troy and Katherine were out of earshot.
"About what?" Austin asked, pretending he didn't know what she was talking about.
"About Katherine. I can tell when someone's jealous, you know. Just like how you're acting right now." Austin sighed.
"It doesn't really matter," he said. "She can choose whomever she wants. I won't control her. It's just that, right now, she's my only ticket out of the arena." Amelia nodded understandingly.
"I know how you feel," she said, surprising Austin.
"You do?" he asked.
"Yeah. Troy's the only one who actually treated me like a normal person. Everyone else always babied me because I was blind. I guess I kind of developed a thing for him, but it's pretty obvious he doesn't feel the same about me," she explained. "Good luck getting her while you can, though. And I sincerely hope you two don't have to fight to see who's the last one standing."
"Thank you," Austin said.
"You're welcome," Amelia responded.
