chapter 7

MONDAY, 11:40 PM

After finishing my English assignment, I change into more comfortable clothes. I put on an oversized navy sweatshirt and black pyjama shorts. I also braid my hair into two french braids. While I'm putting away my binders in my backpack, my mom comes in my room. 

"Britney, I'm leaving for my night shift. I'll be back tomorrow morning." 

"Ok mom." 

She closes my bedroom door and I could hear her footsteps heading down the stairs.

I'm so tired from the assignements that I have been doing all afternoon that I don't even bother making my bed. I lay down and think how I'm going to explain to the girls about me and Chris. 

I suddenly hear a weird sound from my window and I quickly get up. Someone is throwing rocks on my window. I groan and open the window. I see Chris and his car. What is he doing at my house so late?

"Holsen!" He whispers. 

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm bored as hell! Let me in!" His whispers get louder.

"It's almost 12 and we have school tomorrow. Plus I'm exhausted, Mr. Sandvik's assignments are killing me."

"Please!" He brings his bottom lip down.

I roll my eyes. 

I close my window and head to the front door. 

I see Chris standing, still looking at my window. He probably thinks I'm still in my room.

"Get in!" I wave my hands.

"Oh shit! That was fast." He comes in my house. I feel kinda nervous because he's never been here before. 

"Hey Holsen." Chris smirks.

"Hi. Why are you here?" I say with no emotion.

"Is your mom home?" He starts to whisper.

"No she has a night shift." I tell him. My eyes almost closing. God, I'm so tired. I just want him to leave, so I could sleep. 

I turn from him and I make my way to my room.

"Hey where are you going?" Chris follows me.

"To my room, so I could lay down." 

We both head upstairs and into my room. Is this even real? Is Chris really in my bedroom at 12:05 am?

"Cool room." He starts looking around. 

"Thanks." I flop on my bed and lay on stomach. I slowly close my eyes. I'm so tired I could literally fall asleep while Chris is here.

I feel Chris coming on my bed. I open my eyes and he's laying on his stomach next to me.

"Your so cute when you sleep." He says, fixing his hair.

I roll my eyes. "I'm tired Chris, when are you going to leave."

He laughs. "Don't worry Holsen, I'll leave soon. I actually wanted to ask you a question."

"Yes?" I close my eyes.

"What do we tell our friends and like our family? The truth? Or-

"No! Don't tell them the truth!" I open my eyes and cut him off.

"Jeez, chill." Chris laughs.

"We have to make this as real as possible, right? So, I guess that means we have to lie." Honestly, I always feel bad when I lie, but I guess in this situation it's for the best.
