Too Old

It was one of those days. A day when nothing was happening and Valkyrie Cain was forced to go do stuff that normal teenage girls do. Whatever that was.

School was over for the day so Valkyrie had confined herself to her room, listening to a CD her mother had bought her for her sixteenth birthday.

That was where she was when a sobbing Tanith Low knocked on her window.

"Tanith!" She cried, letting her friend in. "What's going on?"

"Nothing, it's just – man problems."

"You're dating someone?"

Tanith tried to smile, but a sob penetrated her concentration. "I'm not, that's the problem."

Understanding erupted into Valkyrie's mind. "Okay, who is he?"

"..."

"How old is he?"

"Too old for me."

"How old?"

"Too old."

"Tanith, are you going to tell me or not?"

Tanith grimaced. "It's embarrassing."

Valkyrie sighed and led Tanith to her bed. It upset her to see her sister like this, but Tanith needed a calm and unmovable friend to talk to, not an equally upset girl who had no idea why she was upset.

"Tell me. Don't worry; I won't think any worse of you."

Tanith shook her head and buried her face in Valkyrie's shoulder.

"Tell me." She repeated.

"I'mhhvfllllllnsfrgstli"

"What?"

"IhavefeelingsforGhastly."

"Come again?"

"I. Have. Feelings. For. Ghastly."

Valkyrie's jaw dropped to the ground. "Oh." was all she said, summing up her thoughts. Well, thought.

"Now do you see why I'm crying?"

"Uh."

"Val?"

"Mimf."

"Val? Hello? Are you o-okay?"

"Yes. No. Ghastly?" Valkyrie's voice was rising to an embarrassing pitch.

"Oh God. You do think less of me. Valkyrie, I can't help it."

"Mmm hmm."

"Now you're back to mumbling?"

"No, tell me everything."
