I laid in bed, the sound of my clock ticking over and over in the corner of my bedroom, I couldn't sleep, I was thinking too much. I wasn't meant to like her but why did I? I knew the answer as I tried to fall asleep, rolling over. My phone lit up with a message from Jonah but I ignored my older friend as I had blown him off at the party to stay home, I lied to Ava. She was only sometimes around here but still every time I tried to casually hang around Ava and her without being suspicious, it just never worked. It's so confusing to think that Ava was younger and she was older, the two gelled so well. Ava was 14, she was 16 and I was 18 and it was so weird to think that they were best friends when I saw more of her at school then she did. Olivia was a good girl but no one knew how smart she was or kind she was because she was so quiet in the school grounds, she kept to herself, didn't go to parties but everyone I went to I wished she was there. I had no reason to ever talk to her but I made myself do it and it was always great because her eyes held this imagery that only she knew. I had to face it,
I, Jack, like Olivia.
Groaning I rolled out of bed, ignoring how I almost kissed her and began walking quietly through the house, it was so late and I knew they'd both gone to sleep in the living room. Stepping down each step lightly I slowly walked into our large kitchen. I stopped still, staring,
She stood there hands in her messy hair, cup in front of her and her body thin. I approached her quietly whispering
"Hey," she slightly jumped, again which made me laugh but she smiled back
"Hey,"
"Why are you up?"
"I... can't sleep. You?" Her eyes looked worried but she held a calm face over and sipped out of the cup slowly
"Neither, is Ava-" I inched forward hoping she wouldn't notice
"Ava fell asleep half way through the second movie at around 11:30 and it's now 2:30 so she's been out for a while." I laughed gently as she smirked at me. She wore a comfy looking shirt and a pair of sweatpants that somehow kept the shape of her body. She honestly looked close to perfection but I kept it to myself as the kitchen turned silent again. Do it Jack,
I placed my hand over hers, she didn't jump move or hesitate she just looked down shyly then towards me.
"Let's go somewhere." I whispered finally grabbing her quickly walking up the stairs. She said yes but I heard the sarcasm in her voice as I was already dragging her up the stairs with no response. I walked back into my room grabbing a sweater throwing it at her and myself one before finding a pair of pull on vans. She confusingly looked at the jumper I had thrown her,
