Kara smirked, "No he's not a trouble-maker or anything. He's a good guy, but my secret is something that he can not ever find out about."
She turned and then pulled on Alexis' arm and pulled her into a small corner of the hallway. "Alexis seriously this can not be told to anyone else. For a few years, I have had a bit of a crush on Carlisle." She said quickly and then hide her face behind her books waiting for a reaction.

Alexis was dragged into a corner and she looked around once again to make sure no one was around, and listened to what Kara had to say.
Alexis nodded her head. She could see why Kara would have a crush on Carlisle, he was sweet, and nice, and cute. "Well have you said anything to him? Does he even know you like him?"
Alexis could see why this was such a big secret since they have been friends for a while.

Kara shook her head no wildly. "No and he will never know about this. He is just a friend to me and that's what he has told me several times. I know I can move on past it, but every time I hang out with him which is a lot. I still get that weird feeling around him. I'm really good at acting like I don't like him like that. But it's so ugh frustrating. Maybe I do need to meet someone so I can stop putting myself through this. Carlisle is my friend and that's it." Kara replied

"Actually, Erik, I didn't turn Tabitha into a 'snobby' girl. I took her out of her shell. Unlike Cassidy, who did nothing. I was helping her," She rolled her eyes. "And I won't tell Tabitha to leave, when she is obviously liking that she is prettier." She rolled her eyes again.
"And Erik," She said. "Tell me why you want to know, is Tabitha special to you?"

"Cassidy was working very hard to take Tabitha out of her shell, but you can't just do that to her, she will go into shock eventually." Erik said angrily and rolled his eyes.
"Look, Cassidy means a lot to me, and she is, well was her best friend, and you just took Tabitha away from Cassidy! How could you be so heartless?"
X-----X
Alexis nodded her head. "Well, then maybe you should try to date someone else to get your mind off Carlisle, maybe you have just liked him in the beginning, and I know you still like him, but maybe it's just shadowed there now, where you don't really, like him, like him, your just acting on what you have been for so long." Alexis said to Kara.
Alexis hated to see her friends upset when there wasn't a lot she could do about it.

Kara sighed, knowing that Alexis was right about moving on from Carlisle. It had become hard for Kara to fully accept that and now that she had a couple months ago when she saw Carlisle talking to other girls, for once. Carlisle was too nice of a guy to ruin a good long friendship with. She could keep a secret for that long, Carlisle couldn't find out.
She sighed again, "I know you're right Alexis, I just am really shy when it comes to guys. I can't just waltz up to a guy and go 'Hey there, you are cute, let's go out on a date'. Maybe I'm old fashioned or something. But I just can't. Besides there's not alot of single guys here that I know of. Do you know any?" Kara asked curiously. Alexis was alot more social than she ever was, so maybe she could help or just help push Kara in the right direction.

Alexis could see the turmoil going through Kara and felt bad. Someone single. Then it hit Alexis! "Hey, what about that Ethan guy! I think he's single. I met him the other day, and he seemed nice enough." Maybe a little to nice, since how there was problems with Alexis and Tyler because of him.
"Maybe I can talk to him and get him to ask you out!"

Kara's eyes got wide, "Ethan? I know who he is, he and I met the other day when I made a fool out of myself and ran smack into the Great Hall doors. He helped me walk and everything. I also ran into him in the kitchens the other night when I was up studying. I don't know, I heard he was dating someone. He does seem like a nice guy. But don't worry about getting him to ask me out or something. If he likes me, he'll do it sometime....Right?" Kara asked.

Alexis thought about this. "Well boys are just weird, sometimes they need a little nudge to get things going in the right direction, but who knows he may be shy himself and is worried that you might say no to him. You never now." Alexis said with a grin on her face.
She was pretty sure that he was single, because of the rumors that got started about him dating me, but who knows.

Kara only shrugged her shoulders in response.
"I don't know about men either. They're weird and they think we are weird. All I'm saying is don't feel like you are obligated to. Ethan's a really cool guy though." Kara replied with a small smile.

Alexis got a huge smile on her face. "I knew it! You like Ethan!" Alexis said with a laugh.
"I think you should get the courage to just ask him out! Your an amazing woman, and you can be a take charge kind of gal. I bet he would really like that."

Kara stared at her with wide eyes. "No offense Alexis, but no no no! I appreciate the kind words and you're amazing too. But you couldn't pay me enough galleons to go to Ethan and go 'Hey remember me? I think you're cool, let's go out.' Nu uh. And I don't know if I like Ethan like that, I mean he's nice, funny and from what I know about him, he's pretty smart. Plus there are so many other pretty girls out there. I'm just average, plain, weird, nice Kara. So I don't know...." Kara trailed off looking in the other direction and then her eyes got wide again with recognition.
"You know what, I just mentioned what I liked about Ethan. Those are the same things I like about Carlisle! That's just it, isn't it? I've liked Carlisle for so long that I have noticed the same traits in other guys. Isn't that a bit sad?" Kara asked now slightly embarrassed, but relieved that she could talk to another female about this. Alexis was one awesome friend.

Alexis put her hand on Kara's shoulder. "OKay okay, don't get so worked up about it." Alexis said with a small laugh.
"Who knows maybe things will work out between you too."
Alexis knew that Kara was a wonderful person, but she seemed very shy and unsure about herself. "Well, no, it's not sad. Those are the qualities you look in every guy, so even if they are some of the same qualities, it's okay. You know what kind of guy you are looking for. That's good!"

Kara shrugged, "I think that I'm just a dreamer. I met Ethan a few days ago when I accidentally ran into him and I honestly thought he was too good to be true. He helped me out alot. I mean it, when my ankle hurt, he literally picked me up and took me to the Hospital Wing. He didn't leave my side until I felt better. I mean seriously, not alot of people would do that right? At first I thought that my mind was tricking me into getting Carlisle out of my mind. But every time I see Ethan, I can't help, but smile. Merlin, look at me. Talking like that. How my mother would call me a lovely fool." She replied shaking her head.
"I think I do like him Alexis, but I just can't set myself up for rejection like that." She replied with a loud sigh.

Alexis nodded her head in understatement. "Listen Kara, if you never open the door to your heart, you will always be unhappy, don't you have to take a leap of faith somewhere?"
Alexis knew only too well that opening that door could lead to pain, but it can also lead to good to. If Alexis hadn't given her heart to Tyler, she would be very unhappy because Alexis was so happy with Tyler, more so than she has ever been with someone else.
