God do I wish that Andromeda could be a little less trustful. At the moment, I am reading Andromeda Klein by Frank Portman. The main character, Andromeda, hasn't seen her old boy friend, "st. Steve" for a very long time. Her "friend", Rosalie, has been hacking into her mothers online role playing game (Andromeda is aware of this). Suddenly, she is getting text messages from st. Steve. Hmmmmm…
Now, I may be wrong, but the first thing that I thought when she got the first text was Rosalie was doing it. I have no proof, but I have an idea. St. Steve is not acting (texting wise) how he used to before, and even Andromeda is noticing that. He didn't remember the things that they used to text to each other, and he text much more often then he used to (he used to text about once day, now much more then that.). On top of that, He wont even send a photo of himself to her after she asked. But she still thinks it is him. She doesn't have the faintest idea that there is a possibility its not .
It's possible that it is good, her being so sure that it is him. she is only getting joy out of it, and nothing bad is happening, yet. But if she finds out that it isn't him, which I am not sure of, that would break her heart and end her friendship with Rosalie once and for all. Hope and love are making Andromeda blind to things that would make most suspicious. Rosalie knows that Andromeda really loves st. Steve, so it would be horrible for her to do this to Andromeda. If it is Rosalie like I think, I would cal her a sadist, no doubt about it. who would do that to some one they consider a friend?
There are lots of people in this world who are blinded by love. Hope fogs there eyes until all they can see is is false kindness. if a friend tries to tell them to not trust that person, they just ignore them. But when they do find out, their heart breaks. I truly hope that this doesn't happen to Andromeda. If I could go into the book right now, I would tell her to be cautious and less trust worthy of people she knows are not always great people. Before her heart is stabbed like in the three of swords on the cover of the book.
