Chapter Twelve Part 2

Chapter Twelve Part 2

Just so you know, there is A LOT of 'time passing' in this chapter.

"Codee you have dishes." Mrs. Purdy said as I put my lunch dish in the sink.

"But it's my birthday." I whined getting a dish rag out of a drawer.

"Go on, I'll wash them." Daniel said bumping me in the side playfully.

He turned his head to smile down at me, his gray eyes looking lighter than usual.

Whoa. Total déjà vu.

"You sure?" I asked cautiously handing him the dish rag.

"Go on birthday girl." He chuckled starting the water.

I sat on the table behind him, watching as bubbles fly everywhere once he put the soap in. I laughed unconsciously.

He turned his head slightly to pier over his shoulder.

"You think that's funny?"He asked playfully.

"Yeah I guess." I mumbled, smiling.

He tossed floaty bubbles over his shoulder, some of them popping or landing on his shirt in the process.

"Failure." I whisper-shouted, my cheeks starting to burn from smiling so much.

My smile fell as I realized where this was all from.

How can all of this be just like the dream from last night?

He chuckled, continuing to washing dishes.

"Are you just going to sit there and watch me do dishes?" He questioned.

"I guess not." I mumbled playfully, getting up.

This is not going to end like my dream.

"You okay?" He asked.

I shook my head, trying to regain some of my sanity.

I plastered a fake smile on my face.

"Yeah I'm fine, just bored." I giggled, trying to seem a bit believable.

"Well we can go watch a movie, I know Clear said her and Matt were going to watch something. Maybe we can join them?" He asked, looking over at me curiously.

"Yeah I guess. That sounds nice." I said, trying to sound as enthusiastic as possible.

Let's try and not make this day bad by being freak out because of a dumb dream.

I walked to the door, taking a look down the hallway towards the media room where I could hear Clear and Matthew fighting over which movie to watch.

"What are you doing?" Daniel whispered in my ear, his warm breath flowing over my shoulder.

I turned my head, slightly jumping away from him.

"Just loo- I mean, waiting for you." I stammered.

Like seriously! Can I be any more awkward?

He slid past me, starting for the media room.

"Well," he smirked. "What are you waiting for? I'm here aren't I?"

I followed him as he walked backwards down the hallway. His eyes not leaving mine.

Just as Daniel was about to turn to go into the media room Camdon walked out, smacking right into him. They both stumbled for a moment before regaining their balance.
