The wrong star

I knew it

"Don't touch me," Spider says getting him off and taking some steps from him.

"What are we gossiping about?" Miles asks looking at us. Spider rolls his eyes and calls him Skaun before walking away.

"That kid sure loves me," Miles jokes.

"Sure," I say and smirk.

He comes to stand next to me.

"I think he knows something about us," I say turning to him.

"He said something?" he crosses his arms.

"No. It's like he wants me to tell him, but he's suspicious about it." I sigh and cross my arms too. "We either tell him or make something else up, but I don't want him to do something stupid," I say.

Miles tilts his head, he's entertaining both ideas.

"You know him better than I do, what should we do?" he asks.

To be honest I don't know. I do know him better, that's true... but I'm not that close. I am only a little close to my cousins but it's been years since I was able to go out and play with them, let alone with Spider.

"I'll think about it," I conclude and he nods.

We stay there for a moment, staring at the sea in comfortable silence.

"And how are you feeling?" he asks with a smile as he looks at my stomach for a moment.

"I'm okay," I answer.

"Very well, but you need to eat. For the two of you" he says and I roll my eyes.

"Hey... hey, I did notice you weren't there for breakfast," he says.

"I'll find something to eat..." I complain and look away.

"There's fish on the menu for today. No meal out a box" he says raising his brows.

"Finally, some real food," I say and we both laugh.

"I'll go before they notice it's been too long," he says and I nod.

I pace around the deck, I try going to the top of the ship... see if anything's different, but later I give up and go back to my place near the railing.

I'm looking out when someone pushes me a little.

"Hey!" I complain and hiss.

"I knew it," Spider says.

"What?" I ask defensively.

"I saw you, stop lying."

"What-"

"Stop lying!" he cuts me off.

At least he has the decency to speak in na'vi so hopefully, it will be difficult to understand for someone else.

"I saw you with him. I saw him sneaking out of your room earlier and I was afraid that maybe he did something to you but..." he shakes his head in disbelief.

"You were talking and laughing... you've both been weird. Are you with him?" he asks.

"Spider..." I say lowering my voice, hopefully he will too.

"Why can't you just answer me? what's going on?"

"Sit down," I tell him. "Sit!"

He does and I follow.

"Miles and I... we are together, but is not what you think!" I speak before he interrupts.

"He's changed. He wants to help us," I say and he laughs.
