College, what a blast!

“6,854 years and three days old… I stopped aging at 14 years old.” Tylo told her with a smirk.
“Do you want a skirt or pants?” Kyle asked.
“I would prefer the skirt miss.” Tylo told her.
“You can call me Kyle, everyone does, besides, the ‘miss’ thing is a little creepy.” Kyle smiled at her new… friend.
“Here you can wear this outfit.” Kyle handed her a denim skirt and a pink trim tree burn out tee. The she dug in the bottom of her closet for shoes; she pulled out a pair of black and pink hippo vans.
“This skirt is much shorter than the one in The Land.” Tylo commented.
“Oh, hey I’ll give you some spandex to wear under them, incase you have to like roundhouse kick someone in the face.” Kyle laughed as she reached into her top drawer. “Or do you want some leggings?” Pulling out a pair or Spandex and simple black leggings, and offering them to Tylo.
“The long ones, please.” Tylo told her.
As soon as Tylo was dressed Kyle asked if she wanted her hair cut, it was a bit long. Kyle’s fell across the bottom of her shoulder blades, but Tylo’s fell much longer, past her butt.
“Alright.”
“Cool, we can go get it cut; my dad thinks I’m at work anyway. Just let me grab a sweater, you might want one too, it gets cold at night.” Kyle grabbed two sweaters and pulled her Gir zip-up over her black and white skull top, and handed Tylo her multicolored skull zip-up.
The next thing they new they were down the drain pipe headed for the salon.
After all fashion is what girls do best.
Tylo gasped at her reflection in the mirror, her hair, she had chosen the length, was only to her chin, it looked amazing on her, her green eyes shown even more than before. With her beautiful green hair cut, the girls walked from the salon into the mall.
“So, we’re… We’re friends right? Or are you just doing this out of some… duty… for The Land?” Kyle asked sheepishly.
“I would love to be your friend mi- Kyle. If you wish to be mine too, you can show me all of your other friends.” Tylo said excitedly.
“I would… except” Tylo looked down at the ground before Kyle finished, but Kyle looked up and finished with red cheeks, “I don’t have any. Turns out talking to a bear doesn’t put you on popularities most wanted list.” Now she was looking a Tylo with a sheepish grin.
Tylo laughed her sparkling laugh, but it wasn’t the ones of scorn Kyle was accustomed to, it was a tinkling laugh that rang though her ears and made her smile with relief.
“In The Land, none of the girls would talk to me because I was so important, but they saw me as lowly, because they thought the final battle was surely a death sentence. But the boys they were all jealous I was the first picked.” Tylo grinned a toothy grin, and then her eyes roamed the hall. “I feel another Light-heart, and a dark-heart in here.” Tylo commented.
“Light-heart, Dark-heart, what do those mean?” Kyle asked as her eyes roamed the hall.
“A person on the side of light, and one on the side of dark.” Tylo answered her eyes still roaming the hall.
“Oh no.” Kyle commented as she looked at the entrance to the music store. Nick stood there with his friends, Tylo was looking for the Light-heart/Dark-heart in the other direction, so when Kyle grabbed her hand and walked into one of the throngs of people.
“What are you doing? I have to find the light-heart.” Tylo nearly screeched.
“I’ll fill you in when we’re clear, follow me.” Kyle said and she pulled Tylo out of the crowd toward the emptiest store in the mall- the book store.
Kyle pulled Tylo all the way to the back and into the corner by the historical Biographies. No one was there, not that it was much of a shock.
“Ok, so I’m not popular at school at all right, Isaiah’s my only friend. And there is this guy, he’s super cute, and funny, and sweet, just not to me, he seemed to hate me, just like everyone else. His name is Nick, he’s one of the ‘bad kids’ at school, and he stole Isaiah so I chased after him out by the dumpsters and he was going to drop Isaiah, then I like read his mind and he thought I was pretty, so I freaked out, because of my uncle. Anyway he asked me if I was OK and he kissed me, so I bolted. I was so freaked, and I just saw him. I’ve never been kissed before and if he sees me, I have no idea what he’ll do and I’m freaking a little.” Kyle seemed to say all of this in one breath, because after she finished her chest was heaving and her lungs begging for air.
Tylo stood there for a long time before a humor filled smile crossed her face. “Well it seems you’ve had an interesting day.” Tylo commented.
“Do you not understand the immensity of my problems? I’ve had a crush on him for like ever!” Kyle kept her voice barely above a whisper.
“Then why do you not confront him?” Tylo asked. “Surely you understand that he must like you.”
“What if it was a joke or he was just randomly kissing me?” Kyle asked her back.
“We must find the light heart before they are in contact with dark hearts.” Tylo looked tired. Her eyes were a bit drooped, and her head was bobbing.
“You know how to… pinpoint them in a crowd right?” Kyle asked. Tylo nodded. “Alright, you find them, I’ll get them, deal?”
“Yes, alright.” Tylo replied.
And they walked out of the book store.
Tylo’s eyes searched the crowd and stopped outside the DDR machine. She started toward it and suddenly her eyes averted to the music store.
“He is there, is in the music store, and the Dark one by the dance machine.”
Kyle looked to the music store, and then to Tylo “How will I know which one he is?”
“Follow your heart.” Tylo told her looking into her eyes. “I believe it is Liekos, you must call him this name.. or he’ll not know, even if you know him by another.”
“But what if my heart’s a liar?” Kyle tried. Tylo just laughed and pushed her in the right direction. “Evil witch.” Kyle mumbled as she lowered her head but kept her gaze on the people at the music store.
The ‘light-heart’ was close. She didn’t know how she could.
“Liekos, here Liekos, here boy.” Kyle called quietly, trying not to notice the abserdity of the situation.
