We walk out the door. And then I realize- I'm in my pajamas! (Plaid pajama pants & a t-shirt & sandals)
He's in pajamas too- so at least I'm not the only person looking like I just rolled out of bed.
(It's about 3:00 in the morning)
~wait, why do I care what I look like~
"So..." I say, breaking the silence.
"Yeah?" He says
"I don't know" I say
"What?"
"I don't know it's so quiet" I say, smiling
"Yeah... true." He says, sticking a hand in his pocket.
"So... let's talk." I say awkwardly
"Yeah. So... do you live here?"
"Yep! Lived here since I was born."
"Oh cool. Do you like it here?"
"Haha. That's funny."
"What?"
"You asked if it's I like it here."
"Yeah, so?"
"I HATE it here!" I say, emphasizing hate
"Why?"
"Umm, well, cause there's like nothing to do here!"
"Oh"
"Where are you from?"
"Canada. Vancouver, Canada."
"Cool! Isn't that like a big city in Canada?"
"Yeah! It gets pretty busy!"
"Lucky."
"Huh?"
"Your just lucky you're from a big city."
"Oh, yeah it's nice there with all of the places you can go to."
"Yeah. I'd either want to live in a big city or out in the middle of a forest or by the ocean or something like that."
"I wish I lived in New York."
"Why?"
"I don't know. I just like it there. I mean I DO like Canada too."
"Yeah me too. I also wish I was from San Francisco, I frickin love it there! Or I wish I lived out of the country, in Italy!"
"You like Italy?"
"YES! I LOVE IT! And well, I am Italian. -Well Sicilian."
"Really?! That's cool. I'm Jewish, French, German, Irish, and other stuff, I don't know."
"That's cool."
"Ok. Enough of this talking about places and where we're from. Let's actually talk."
"Okayyyy"
(They talk for a while together and walk back home)
We walk up to the front door and slowly open it and tip toe downstairs to the basement.
And then a flashlight shines at me and Finn, blinding me in the eyes.
"Sooo, where we you two?" Says a voice. I turn on my phone flashlight and shine it at Jack sitting on the couch, with his hand in his palm.
"Oh my god jack. We were just taking a walk!" Says Finn
"Ok thennn.."
"Well, I'm gonna go to sleep now" I say after jack.
I walk over and slip into my sleeping bag next to Millie and Sadie.
I close my eyes and try to go to sleep.
I fake-sleep when I hear Finn and Jack start to talk-
"Sooo.... d'you like Hazel?!!" I hear jack say
"What? No! We were just going for a walk. She was alone upstairs."
"So. But do you like her?"
"No I said no."
"You sure about than Finnnn?" Jack says playishly
"Fine. Fine. I do kinda like her."
"Ha! I knew it!"
"Whatever. I'm going to bed. Night Jack"
"Good Night Finn"
**I go to sleep
