I looked at the water bubble I had made around myself. It was the only thing keeping me safe from the heavy pressure and wild space energy outside.
Even though I was protected, my mind was a mess. I felt both excited and nervous at the same time, and those two feelings kept fighting inside me.
Thought after thought rushed through my head.
What if I failed?
What if things worked out but not the way I wanted?
I kept thinking too much.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down, then reached into my storage ring and pulled out my communicator.
I had talked to Steve just yesterday. He finally received his class and was busy leveling up like crazy.
So this time, I decided to call North.
We talked every day without missing a single one. Our chats were starting to feel different lately, less like just friends, and a bit more… something else.
I just really hoped Arkas wasn't listening.
If he was, this would get real awkward.
A second later, the call connected.
