Hell and back (Shellivision story)

(Shelly's POV)

Vee noticed i had stopped walking, she stood beside me, i could tell she was trying not to look at me to much, but kept throwing sideways glances at me. This whole ordeal suddenly felt... frustrating? I could feel myself growing aggravated, and it scared me. Truth be told, i had no idea why i was so mad all the sudden.

<Hypothesis: Even a watched pot can boil over.>

You know that saying 'a watched pot never boils'? I've never understood it, honestly. I know its some sort or idiom, or metaphor or whatever. It pretty much means that time passes slower waiting for something. However, i think its rather dumb. I mean, the water boils whether you watch it or not. That's just fact. And right now I was the watched pot boiling over. I hated the feeling of Vee looking at me like a had three heads. I felt like a cornered animal. Why is she looking at me like im some sort of anomaly? Why did i even invite her to hang out in the first place? I bit my tongue, trying to keep my cool. 

I could feel her eyes on me every time i wasn't looking. This was so strange. I like to think of myself as someone who doesn't get angry, or hostile, or mean, but right now everything feels... not right. The edges of my vision are grey and spotty, i feel light and heavy at the same, hot and cold simultaneously, i cant explain it. Its like im balancing on a red hot tightrope, teetering back and fourth. I feel scared. I feel angry. I feel confused. I feel.... different, that's for sure. Again, the feeling of eyes. I balled my hands into fists, staring at the cold cement beneath my feet. I was angry, but i wasn't, if that makes sense. I wasn't full on, cussing, screaming, seething angry. But in the back of my head, the bottom of my stomach, was like a flare had been shot off. 

"If your going to look at me, can you at least tell me why?" I asked quietly, it had a bitter undertone, completely unintentional. Vees eyes widened just a little bit. The Tv host cleared her throat. "Sorry, sorry... it just.. appears you've had a growth spurt." Vee said in an unsure tone. I felt myself lighten up somehow. Just like that, the flare, the spark, the little burst of whatever it was, had been extinguished. "Really? Huh, i didn't even notice! How neat!" I said cheerfully. Suddenly i felt great, light and airy, my vision was back to normal, i couldn't help but smile. Vee looked dumbfounded, i wondered why.

I began walking again, so did Vee. She didn't say anything, neither did i. It suddenly hit me; 'what the heck was that?' i thought to myself. I had been so peeved, and then suddenly not? how's that supposed to make sense? It was like a mood swing from another dimension. I couldn't wrap my head around it. Why was i even mad in the first place? What made me calm down so suddenly?

<Hypothesis: Puberty round two..??>

That didn't make sense, i had already gone through puberty years ago. But i had no other explanation, except for......

(Vees POV 3rd person)

ok, that was a little weird... make that really weird. Add sudden mood shifts to the list of 'what the hell is wrong with my friend' ... Friend? Ok, maybe friend was pushing it. Truthfully, Vee had no clue what she consider Shelly. To much to be acquaintances, not enough to be friends. It was like some awkward Limbo. Never mind that. So, sudden mood shifts, and random growth spurt. What does that equal out to? Vee only had one guess, and she hoped to everything it wasn't right.

"So, Shelly.. What do you know about... ichor?" Vee said, trying to keep as casual as possible. It was all coming together. The puzzle pieces falling into place. Vee tried to remember as much as she could about the run last night, before the gas knocked them all out. On floor 18... or was it 16? Never mind, that doesn't matter. They all got back to the elevator, Rodger was comforting Toodles, Goob was catching his breath, everyone was doing their own thing Dandys shop appeared. He sold a can of soda, some sort of yellow candy, and gumballs. Vee didn't bother buying anything. Shelly bought a yellow candy. Vee recalled Rodger saying something along the lines of "you really want candy this late at night?" To which shelly just responded that she was hungry.

What was in that candy Shelly ate?

holy smokes i had another burst of motivation- enjoy again XD
