chapter 9- cherry chapstick

the clock in the wheelers basement read 1:58 am

a huff left olives lips as forced her body up she looked over at her peacefully sleeping friends feeling envious

she stumbled out the door putting on her shoe as her other hand held her jacket

the cold summer air hitting her lungs made a blissful feeling

oppose to the body heat of the sleeping teenagers

olive let out a sigh at the stars

she sat on the grass with her knees pressed to her

a thousand thoughts running through her head but the most important one was max

max the girl who held her heart for seven months

the girl who olive used every wishing star on

It's July.

the thoughts echoed olives brain as she remembered the stupid bet she made

the stupid bet that Dustin Henderson swore was going to come true

olive loved to prove her best friend wrong but now she sat here feeling empty at the idea of him being wrong

max mayfield was like the stars and when they shined that's all olive cared about

max would probably tell her that was cheesy but it was the only way olive could justify caring for someone so much

she was only fourteen she spent countless nights wondering how she could ever feel this way for someone?

"bad dream?" she turned around startled by the sudden voice

"hey.. are you okay?" olive replied as the girl sat down right next to her

"can we not talk about today?.." max trails of

olive nods as the two go into comfortable silence

"every-time we have a sleepover I always find you outside" max points out

"I hate my house I'd much rather be outside" olive mumbles

"me too" max whispers

"tell me something olive?"

"anything" she replies

"why won't you let me teach you how to skateboard?" olive smiles weakly

"I think you should teach holly instead .. she thinks it's like the coolest thing ever"

"I could teach you both you know"

"max I know how to skateboard" Olive comments

"you know how to skateboard?!" Max squeals as she moves closer to olive

"max.. I learned how to skateboard for you" olive states as her eyes stay glued to the ground

"you learned how to skateboard for me?" Max asks in disbelief

"mhm I made will help me all summer.. I know how much you hate how the whole party ride bikes and I felt bad .." she looked over at the stunned girl feeling like she was drowning

"you learned how to skateboard for me? Like
For me?" max repeats in disbelief

"it wasn't that big of a deal..." olive shrugged as she felt blood rush to her face

she hadn't told anyone expect will about learning how to skateboard

she always thought it was embarrassing and max was proving her point
