I shut my door and take off my shoes, hang my jacket up and put my watch on my bedside table. I sit down in my bed and lie down on my back and look up at the ceiling and then think of all the possible places El could have gone.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard tapping in my window. I quickly jump up and look out my window and make my way to it.
"Steven?" I whisper shout "I think you've got the wrong room"
"No actually, you're just the person I wanted to see" he tells me as he climbs into my room
"I am?"
"You are"
"Why? What's going on?"
"Oh nothing much, I did actually just see Nancy and your boyfriend getting a little cuddly in her room" he tells me
"Oh, ok well, Jonathan is not my boyfriend but um, thanks for telling me. You can go now" I say to him, gesturing to the window and putting a quick smile on my face
"For a girl who does AP english and AP math, you really can't read between the lines, can you?" he tells me honestly
"What's the suppose to mean?" I ask with my eyebrows knitted together
"See now what I'm saying is we should try and get revenge. You want you friend" Steve over exaggerates a sarcastic wink "Back and I want my girlfriend back, it's a win win Sami"
I think about it. I slowly walk over to my desk draw and pull out a cigarette, I light it and go kneel down by my window "Do you have a plan"
"Well what I was thinking was in the morning when Nancy goes past your room I could walk out of your room at the same time and 'accidentally' bump into her" he explains to me "and then Jonathan will want to talk to you and Nancy will want to talk to me, everyone is happy"
"Yeah, okay, except you're missing the part where I'm just friends with Jonathan, if he's interested in a girl, I can't stop him"
"What do you mean?" He asks sitting down with his back against the wall next to me
"I mean if he likes a girl I don't have the power to say no. Even if it's my best friend and little sister. You can't help who people have a connection with Steven" I tell while talking another drag of my cigarette as I look out the window
Steve doesn't say anything, he just looks at the ground with sad eyes. I roll my eyes and put my cigarette back in my mouth "you're pathetic"
"Hey at least I'm talking about it, you're just trying to avoid a hard conversation" he says looking right at me
"Maybe we should just leave them alone for Christ sake, stop worrying about what others are doing Steve" I say raising my voice with every word
Steve looks at me and waits for a moment "Something's happened between you and Jonathan hasn't there? Or even you, Jen and Jonathan?"
