Chapter 13: Confessions and Romeo

 Low

I am exhausted. I am afraid that at any moment my body will give out on me and I will fall to the floor. Last night when I got home, I couldn’t sleep. I stayed up all night thinking of stupid Seth, along with his stupid amazing kiss. 

My mom asked me what was wrong when she saw my shocked face when I came running into the house and threw the door shut. My dad just stood there with a smug smile on his face. Ugh! It’s all his fault. He was the one who made me go and visit him in the first place.

When I got to school, I tried to avoid him in the parking lot. But seriously, that is a lot harder than it sounds. We are in several classes together and I could feel his eyes on me the entire time. How couldn’t I? His eyes were so clear and bright that I wouldn’t be surprised if he could see through walls.

Home ec. was more worse than normal. Every so often he would brush against me and it was like I was electrified. Ugh! He is so irritating. Plus, he helped in creating my new hatred of waffles. God, I can’t even think of the things now without shivering. 

The rest of the day I focused all of my energy on avoiding Seth. Even during lunch I sat outside on the lawn rather than in the cafeteria with my friends. People looked at me like I was crazy, sitting alone on the grass. God I am pathetic.

Vi asked me what was wrong, but I just ignored her. She kept pestering me all day until she realized that I wan’t going to talk anymore.

After dinner I told my family I was tired and went up to take a shower. I did not really feel like listening to Lizard as she told me all about how a kid named Brian in her class ate glue today and had to go to the nurse’s office for an upset stomach.

So now I am laying on my bed, shuffling through old songs that I don’t want to listen to anymore while trying to find a song that I like.

When I get to Colors by Barcelona, I stop and place my phone down beside the bed. I sigh and close my eyes, trying to clear my mind and make myself relax.

Two seconds later there is a knock on my window. I look over, already preparing to scream bloody murder, but I catch myself before the scream leaves my lips.

Seth is sitting on the other side of the glass with a self satisfied smirk on his face. God I hate it when he does that. . . wait, what the fuck is he doing on my roof?! I jump out of my bed and run over to the window. Carefully, so that I don’t make any noise, I push the window up.

“It is the east,” he says in a low voice, “and Low is the sun.” He raises his hand up to my face and tries to look all dramatic but I can see the smile forming on the edge of his mouth.

“Oh, cut the crap Romeo.” I mumble and roll my eyes. I cross my arms over my chest and glare at Seth. 

“Fine, but I’ve got to say, it would be a lot easier if you did have a balcony for me to stand on.” He stares at me for a minute like he is expecting something. Whatever it is, he is not going to get it. “So, can I come in?”

“What? No! This is my little sister’s room too! I’m not going to let you contaminate it with your Sethness.”

“My Sethness?” he asks amused.

“Yep,” I say and pop the p. Not even bothering to explain. 

“Okay, then come out here.”
